The forts at Prevesa fired upon the
Greek gunboat Actium last Saturday as
she was leaving the Gulf Of Ambracia.
The Actium and several other gunboats
that were following her were compelled
to return to their anchorages. The Greek
Government instructed Prince Mavracor-
date, the Greek Minister at Constantine
pie. to ask the Turkish Government for
friendly explanation, and the Porte re-
piled that the incident vas due to a

EXECUTIVE GLEN ENCY.
tence of EleuteriO Leyba and Par
dOns SeyerianO MOntOya.

Early in 1895, at Pena Blanca while en-
gagged in fight, Eluterio Leyba killed
David de la O. For the crime Leyba was
indicted, arrested and tried, and at the
October, 1895 term of the District court,
held in Bernalillo county, was convicted
and sentenced to ten years imprisonment
in the penitentiary for murder in the
third degree. His friends at once began
work to secure pardon for him, and
strong petitions were sent to the gov
ernor; one petition was signed by the
relatives of de la 0, including his wife.
Governor Thornton took no action in the
matter until yesterday, when, upon re-
ceipt of letter from Judge Collier stat
ing that in his opinion the ends of JUS
tice would be fully served by a shorter
term of prison life, the sentence was
commuted to five years.
Severiano Montoya, who was sentenced
to i'm prisonment from San Miguel coun-
ty, for rape committed on the person of
Beatriz Tessier, has been granted full
pardon by Governor Thornton. The
pardon was granted because of newly
discovered evidence just presented to the
governor and Chief Justice Smith, who
presided at the trial, and the opinion
given by Judge Smith that Montoya had
been wrongfully convicted.

made for carrying the sentence into effect
The condemned men were taken from the
penitentiary, and under the escort of a
troop of cavalry, we're already on their
way to the gallows, when another respite
this time for ten days, blocked the
wheels of justice. President Mckinley had
been prevailed upon by Mr.. Catron and
Others interested in the defense to ex-
anime the record in the case, and accord
ingly had given himself ten days in which
tn make the review.
The sheriff attempted to return the
men to their cells in the penitentiary, but
the officials of this institution refused to
receive them, and they were taken to the
county Jail, where they remained up to
tho time of execution today.
Many conjectures were INDUCED in as
to what would be the outcome OF the ex-
animation of the case by the president.
Speculation on this matter was set at
rest at IL O'Clock yesterday by a tele,
gram from the attorney-general, Mr.. Nc
Kenna, stating that the president had re-
fused to interfere further in the case, this
decision having been arrived at after an
exhaustive examination of the record.
Preparations were thereupon commenced
again for the execution, which was carried
out as recorded above.

LEBLANC BROTHERS HANG.
They Set Out to Initiate Jesse James
and Wound Up on the GaliOws.

Lafayette, La, April, 2.--The Leblanc
brothers we're executed here this after
noon, Alexis and Ernest Leblanc, both
under 90, murdered Simon Begnaud, a
merchant at Scott, La, year ago. They
were born in France, we're we'll educated.
They became tramps and determined to
initiate Jesse James to get fortunes and
then return to Paris. They got into
Begnaud's store, forced him to open his
safe, bound and gagged him then got a
key to his money drawer, and obtained
about $4,000. They forced him to sit on
the bed helplessly pinioned and stabbed
him to death. The boys made tour of
Europe, and after, squandering their
money they returned and were arrested.
They made full confession.
