Reports from various parts of the

A Taipeh dispatch of August oath,

Immediately attacked and routed by
body Of gendarmes. Disquiet prevails
in the vicinity of Heichosan and other
localities.
1t is reported in Pekin that the Bel

the final contract not having been rati-
fed and there is a strong probability
of its being cancelled.

ference displayed by representative
men regarding to the extremely crit
ical political situation" Continuing
he says: Ministers, generals, diplo-
matists and public men of all parties
and of every variety of opinion merely
shrug their shoulders when Cuba is
mentioned. The present government
is weak in the extreme; but there is
no sign that the liberals are any bet
ter organized.
Captain General Weyler will prob
ably be retained in Cuba out of defer
ence to the personal wishes of the
late Premier, Canovas del Castillo.
But the experience forces the convic-
ton that Cuba will never be pacified
by military operations. The question
arises whether the United States could
be induced to stop American supplies
to the insurgents. If so, there is no
doubt the rebellion would soon col
lapse. The difficulties would be great
but the question ought to seriously oc
cupy the attention of the Spanish
statesmen"

Neither Lord Dufferin, Elliott nor

Galena. Galbraith was shot to death
and robbed in the place. following a
quarrel with the mother and sons over
the woman's daughter. His body was
thrown into an abandoned mine shaft.
Mrs. Cora Stafiieback, wife of George,
and two other inmates of the house,
gave testimony as to the fact of the
murder, and from these witnesses ev-
idence of another triple murder at Ga
lena have been secured. Their story
is that two girls from western Kan
sas were visited at the Wilson dive by
an acquaintance. Mike Stafiieback,
another son of the Wilson woman,
who is now charged with burglary,
became enraged with jealousy and
killed the man and the two girls with
a Ratchet. The bodies were thrown
into an abandoned mine shaft. Al
Galena a force of men are pumping
out the shaft in an endeavor to find
the bodies of the murdered persons.
