DONALD M'KAY DEAD
AFTER A WEEK OF SUFFERING HE
SUCCGMBS TO HIS IN
INJURIES.
Died at Sis O'clock Last Night-Sage
Arrested and Placed in the County
Jail-The Ball Had Passed Into the
Abdominal Cavity-Body Will Be
Brought to This City.

Donald Mckay died in St. Joseph's
hospital. Denver, at SIS o'clock last
night. A couple of hours later the
news was received in this city. Mar
shall Stirling at once hunted op Officer
Henry Sage, who was attending the
entertainment given by the Patriotic
Sons of America, and took him to the
county Jail. Terrence Fee took the
midnight train for Denver and will
bring the body of deceased to this city
for burial.
The details of the unfortunate affair
which resulted in the shooting and
death death of Donald Mckay are still
fresh in the minds of the people of this
city. Mckay had assaulted Tim Nc
Carthy, a neighbor, and Officer Sage had
arrested the former, when he jerked
away from the officer and attempted to
ESCAPE by running Sage called upon
him to stop and began shooting Three
shots were fired, one of which is said
to have penetrated Mckay's hat, anoth>
er went wild and a third hit him in the
back. in the lumbar region The wound
ed man was taken to the Globe hotel
and DR.. Harris was summoned. The
physician located what he believed to
be the ball in the large lumber muscle
of the back, but thought best moi to re-
move 1t hat night, as he was requested
to wait till relatives could be present.
When he mex probed for the ball, DR..
Harris discovered that what he thought
was the bullet was a piece of a pants
button which had probably been driven
in by the bullet. The bullet was not
found.
Mckay was then sent to Denver and
placed in st. Joseph's hospital. An ex,
animation disclosed that the bullet had
passed into the abdominal cavity and
little hope was entertained that he
would recover. After a weeks suffer,
ing, he passed away, as stated.
Sage was arrested and placed under
$3.50 bonds. When the serious nature
Of his victims wound became known,
he was re%arrested and his bond increas-
ed to $1,000, which was promptly furn-
ished. His bond will now probably be
increased to a larger sum.
The funeral of Donald Mckay will
take place from the Presbyterian
church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.

b EXPEDITION.

Washington d. c., Dec. S.-Secretary
Gage has submitted to the department
of state his report upon the action of
the treasury department in SUPPRESS
ing flibustering expeditions to Cuba
in violation Of the neutrality laws.
The secretary points out the fact that
during two years and a half, six Ameri-
can vessels of an aggregate of 1881
registered tons, are alleged to nave sue.
cessfully landed expeditions from the
United States to Cuba. With the ex-
ception of the Laureda, the six Ameri-
can vessels are alleged to have taken
part in expeditions in Cuban waters,
are small tugs. and a pilot boat, each
of less than 100 tons and obviously in
capable of carrying large numbers Of
men or large quantities of arm or am
unitions. Three foreign vessels of an
aggregate of LTD tons. are alleged to
have been successful in the same effort.
That only six out of 1855 American
vessels succeeded in reaching Cuba and
that less than so had any share in
these expeditions. Secretary Gage says,
is a demonstration, first, of the law
abiding spirit of the nation and obedi-
ence of the people to the presidents
proclamation, and, second, of the
wholesome and repressive fear on the
part Of those who might be disposed
to lawlessness and violations of our
obligations of the law of neutrality.
Perhaps the strongest statement in the
report is this:
II the Spanish patrol of 300 miles
of Cuban coast has frustrated half the
number of expeditions which were
frustrated by the United States author
tiles along the coast line of $40 miles.
not n man nor one cartridge would
been ~illicitly landed in Cuba from
the United States. Out of the sixty
alleged expeditions only four have been
broken up by Spain.
