BY MOONSHINERS
Deputy Marshals Ambushed and Shot
in Arkansas.

IN ATkAnS8Ss
Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 1.-TWO
deputy United States marshals are dead,
two seriously wounded and two more
missing as a result of an attack upon a
posse of officers by gang of desperate
moonshiners in Searcy county. The
dead are: B. F. Taylor. of Searcy
county and Joe Dodson, of Stone coun-
ty. The wounded men are the Renfrew
brothers. The names of the missing
men were not given, but they are sup
posed to be deputy sheriffs Of Searcy
county.
Taylor, one of the murdered men,
was 60 years old and was one of the
wealthiest men in Searcy county. Dod-
son was a well-known deputy and has
been terror to mOonshiners. He was
leading raid when the terrible affair
occurred.
The officers had approached to within
80 yards of an illicit distillery, when
they were fred upon from ambush.
Taylor and Dodson fell at the first vol
ley, dead in their tracks. The shooting
occurred 35 miles from Russellville, at
a point 10 miles south of Witt Springs.
The locality is in the mountains, and
has for many years been favorite rem
devious for moonshiners and counter
feiters. News of the tragedy was
brought to Russellville this morning
by DR.. Pack, who came after the cor
Oner.
The men who did the shooting are
supposed to be gang of moonshiners
led by Horace Bruce and John Church,
two of the most desperate characters in
that part of the state.

A Ghastlx Experiment.

Chicago, Sept. a. The trial OF
Adolph Luetgert for the murder of his
wife, began in earnest today, the pre-
liminary work of securing the jury bav-
ing been completed.
Contrary to the expectations of the
state, the jury will be asked by the de-
tense to witness an experiment in the
vat in the basement of the sausage fac
tory. This is to be the result of an ex-
pertinent conducted by Luetgert's
attorneys Saturday and yesterday. The
body of man of about Mrs. Luetgert's
age and weight, who met death by vio-
lence Thursday, was taken to the fac
tory on Diversey avenue and immersed
in solution of caustic potash. Experts
reported that after boiling the body in
a Is per cent solution of potash for the
same length of time as the state alleges
Luetgert disintegrated the body of his
wife, the complete skeleton of the
cadaver remained intact and the solu-
toin had but little effect upon the
clothing.
AS result of the test, the defendant
will, it is said, ask Judge Tuthill to
remove his court and jury to the base
ment of the big sausage factory for a
few hours and witness another expert
ment which the defense claims will
completely disprove the states theory
of disintegration.

Freshmen.

ReSuIto1 seriously to Three Berkeley
Freshmen.
Berkeley, CAL, Sept. 2.-There will
be no mere PUSHES at the university
of California, if President Kellogg's
latest mandate is obeyed.
Half dazed, his jaw broken, his face
bleeding mass, Benjamin Kurtz, a
newly entered freshman, was found
wandering about the campus oa Mon
day night after the rush between the
two lower classes. In the struggle
some one put his heel on Kurtz's face,
and may have sustained an injury of
the brain. An examination showed
that piece of flesh had been torn from
one nostril. The upper lip hung by a
shred, and the ragged nature Of the tear
made the injury more serious. All the
front teeth were gone. Four teeth had
been knocked out of the lower jaw and
the bone in which they had been i'm
bedded was broken out with them.
Both upper and lower jaw were smashed
and the flesh of the face was crushed
and bleeding.
There were two other serious casual
ties. Frank Marshall, freshman, had
his right leg broken just above the
ankle. Conlon, another freshman, also
came out of the ooAbat with broken

IN BEHALF OF INDIANA MINERS.
A Large Relief Fund Subscribed at
Lebanon.

Lebanon.
Denver. Sept. Ia special to the
News from Lebanon, Ind, says: An
immense meeting was held last night
at the opera house in behalf of the
starving coal miners In Indiana.
Thomas j. Terhune made statement
of the condition of the miners as he
found it while making his investiga-
ton as Governor Mounts special COM
missioner. He said:
"There are 5000 families in this
state in restitution. Thirty thousand
people are literally starving. A few
years ago they received $l.25 per ton;
now the average price paid is about 50
cents per ton. A good miner can make
81 day and is allowed to work two
or three days each week. They are
compelled to trade at company stores
and the prices they pay are left entire
lv to the mine operators. The miners
admit that they cannot live upon the
present scale of wages"
A large subscription to the relief
fund was raised.
E. v. Debs left Terra Haute for st.
Louis last night to attend the confer
ence called by the national executive
board of United Mineworkers. He
saws there has been remarkable change
in public sentiment on the injunction
question; that whereas three years ago
there was hardly any dissent from the
course of judges who were issuing re-
straining orders against the strikers,
the preponderance of sentiment now is
in opposition.

READY FOR ANNEXATION.
An Extra Session of the Hawaiian Sem
ate Has Been Called.

- ~.~OA" cC5sAOh -OA the hawaiian Sen.
ate Has Been Called.
San Francisco, Sept. 3.-The steamer
Australia, from Honolulu direct, arrived
today with the following Hawaiian
advices:
Francis M. Hatch, minister to WASH
ington, arrived August 20 with inn
portant information. which will REQUIRE
the attention of both the government
and senate, and secret notice has al
ready been issued to members of the
latter body calling upon them to meet
In extra session on September to con-
slider the question. Meanwhile Minis
ter Hatch is in almost constant consul
tation with President Dole and his cab
met. The lawmakers will be asked to
ratify an annexation treaty recently
signed in Washington, and as major
lty OF the members favor annexation.
the matter will be rushed through.
The reason for an extra session of the
senate at this early date is a matter of
conjecture, and much curiosity is
evinced with regard to it.
A senator is authority for the state
ment that Minister Hatch brought word
to the effect that President Mckinley
had resolved to call congress together
two months earlier than usual for the
purpose of disposing of the treaty be-
fore the regular session.
Another matter to be considered by
the Hawaiian senate is that of render
ing assistance to the executive in un-
raveling the Japanese muddle. There
are rumors of split in the cabinet over
the question, and it is said the interven-
ton of the senate is required to prevent
an open rupture.
The Hawaiian Star created a sensa-
ton by the publication of scheme,
alleged to have been backed by the
sugar trust, to block annexation. 1t is
said every Hawaiian in the group had
been called upon to appear in Honolulu
September IA to participate in a man.
moth demonstration against a closer
political union with the United States.
Senators Morgan and Quay are expected
to arrive from the United States on
that day, and the object of the anti
annexationists is to impress them with
the feeling on the islands.
James B. Castle, who has held the
post of collector of customs since the
queen was deposed. has resigned on &C.

Michipocoton Gold Mines.

Sault Ste. Marie. Mich, Sept. B.
Later developments tend to substantiate
all that has been reported concerning
the richness of the recent gold find at
Michipicoton, and there is no end OF ex-
citement here in consequence.
The tug Annie Clark returned from
the new gold fields last evening with
Mr.. Mackie, one of the owners OF the
first location. Mr.. Mackie brought
down with him 80 ounces of gold, val
ned at about $70O. This gold was ex-
tracted from surface quartz. The tug
will return today with prospectors.
A party of IA residents OF the 500 de-
parted last evening on specially
chartered boat. The new territory
characterized by gold indications is an
extensive one, and it will take some
time to prospect it thoroughly.

count is an American by birth, Span
lard by descent and a Frenchman by
adoption. He was born in San Fran

spending the winter in California. In
the course of an interview Count Pen
aloza said:
GAS long as Spain has man or a
penny in the treasury the Spanish gov
eminent will not consent to the indie
pendence of Cuba. A country whose
call for military funds was subscribed
four times over and which has sent
1000 soldiers to Cuba, is not in the

scribed."
Count Penaloza is .exiled from his
native country on account of the Carlist

cuBA's FIGHT FOR LIBERTY.
Quinton Banderas Tells Of the Progress
Of the War.

Of the War.
New York, Sept. 1.-The Journal
and Advertiser says: The sensationally
victorious march of the Cubans under
Maxine Gomez and Antonio Maceo,
the entire length of the island, in Mar
tinez Campo's time. has just been
duplicated by Quintin Banderas. The
negro war captain, than whom no Cuban
Of the colored race, excepting only
Maceo, perhaps, has won greater honors
in the struggle for independence, led
$4,000 men from the eastern end of the
island, where the patriots in arms are
strongest, to the western end, where,
since Maceo's death the Cuban cause
has not prospered so we'll. Those 49,
600 men represented all branches of the
Cuban army service. They penetrated
into the provinces Of Matanzas, Havana
and Pinar del Rio, strengthening the
existing forces in each of these provinces
to such an extent that the coming win
ter campaign there may be expected to
be even as disastrous for the Spanish as
in the times of the redoubtable Maceo.
The news of the brilliant achieve
ment was brought to the Journal and
Advertiser by the mail from Havana in
an autograph letter from Banderas him
self. In it he requests the publication
of the proclamation that he issued on
taking charge of the department.
Banderas says that the second invasion
of the west was made in compliance
with plans that were completed by
Maxine Gomez, the general-in-chief
himself, in June last, end that the
march was effected with little or no
trouble or molestatiOn from the Spanish
troops. The proclamation intimates
that there have been wholesale deser-
tions from the Spanish army in Havana
province into the Cuban service
The rest of the proclamation is d.
rected "To the Men of My Race" and
is as follows:
ut only remains for me to appeal to
the men of my race, to point out to
them that we owe the liberty of our
fathers to the revolution of 1868, and
it is my duty to present to them the
example of that noble figure, Major
General Antonio Maceo, who died on
the field for the liberty of his country"

Cripple Greek, Colo, Sept. AT 5
o'clock this morning five masked men
entered the shaft of the Orphan Belle,
on Bull hill, and covering the four
men on duty there with guns, forced
them to descend the mine shaft to the
3OO-foot level. The men were told that
any attempt to return to the surface
would be followed by instant death.
After waiting about an hour, the men
came up, and discovered that their
visitors had left with 10 sacks OF ore,
containing 600 pounds in all, valued at
$500. Quite large amount OF ore OF
much greater value was in the build
ing, but the robbers apparently made
mistake in their selection. No clew

the robbers.

Pittsburg, Sept. 3.-The striking
coal miners and operators in Pittsburg
are all at sea over the reported prob
able settlement of the strike. While
both sides unite in the hope that the
great struggle will soon be over. they
all profess ignorance of the negotiations
now said to be in progress with that
end in view.
A large meeting of producers was in
session at the Monongahela house this
afternoon, the object being to formulate
some plans for ending the strike. Ar
engagements are to be made to bring
about meeting with lake shippers for
the purpose of making an effort to fix
prices that will be acceptable to the
miners officials. w. A. Shields,
member of the committee appointed
yesterday to arrange for the meeting,
said the members will visit all the
leading shippers and urge them to at
tend the general meeting. which will
probably be held tomorrow. He be-
lieves something will be done to end
the strike without resorting to the
severe measures outlined by the large
operators.
