BOLIVIA TAKES POSSESSION.
Invades Peruvian Territory Undis
turbed.


PANAMA. Feb. 14.-According to adj
vices received here from Cuzco, Boil
via has taken undisturbed possession
of a portion of the territory of Peru.
This region is of great extent, and is
included between the Madre de Dios
and the Tuiche rivers. The Govern
ment of Bolivia has also issued de-
cree ordering the construction of for
tifications at the mouth of the Ynam-
bari river These are to serve as a
barrier of Defense to military stations
which Bolivia will at once establish
along the banks of the river.
The Peruvian press declares this ac-
ton on the part of Bolivia is equiva
lent TO a hostile invasion of the pro-
vinces. 1t is declared that the Peru
Wan Foreign Office has made an ener
getic protest against this occupation,
but without avail.

A Phxsician,s Novel Device.

The carrier pigeon has been put TO
many uses, such, for instance, as max
ing known the results of races and cleo
lions to people living at distance. But
a doctor in Scotland has extended its
utility in remarkable way. He has a
large and scattered practice, and we
gather from The Medical Press and Cir
cular that when he goes on long rounds
he carries number of pigeons with
him. If he finds that some of his pa
tients require medicine at once he writes
out prescriptions, and by means of the
pigeons forwards them to his surgery.
Here an assistant gets the messages,
prepares the prescriptions and dispatches
the medicine. If, after visiting a pa
tient, the doctor thinks he will be re-
quired later in the day, he simply leaves
a pigeon, which is employed to summon
him if necessary. To this enterprising
physician the keeping of carrier pigeons
means a saving of time, expense and
labor

whitewashed walls of the bull ring, TO
the Fonda de Oriente 1t was still early
in the afternoon, the sun fierce. the
light blinding-the hour when all sum-
mer we had been sleeping and dreaming
in the Alhambra's halls and the Gen
eralife's gardens. Remembering their
loveliness, and hoping for new beauty
like it, we could not stay in the dull
hotel bedroom, though with its tiled
floor it was fairly cool and clean, and
we went out into the town. Silence
hung over it like pail. Every winding
street in the labyrinth beyond the Paseo
was empty; not a living creature IN
sight, only once in awhile a beggar,
who rushed from some spot of shade TO
assail Us All the low, white houses,
with their iron barred windows, were
tight shut. The place was abandoned and
desolate, its silence unbroken by sound
Of toll or traffic.
Was this really the Cordova of Musa
and Abderrahman, the Cordova once
called the Bagdad or Damascus Of the

New York, April 2s-There was not
much animation to the stock market
today, but the dizziness was to be at
tributed to the fact that the exchange
closes tomorrow on account of the
Grant monument dedication. and deal
ers showed their usual dissemination to
embark on extended ventures on the
eve of a holiday. Prices advanced
practically without interruption all day
and the tone was strong, on the belief
that the war between Turkey and
Greece is near its end.
The only decline of importance dur
ing the day was that in Sugar, on ac-
count of the death of Vice President
Theodore A. Havemeyer. The stock

Gold for Europe.

New York, April 26.-The market for
exchange today was heavy and actual
rates were shaded from those of Sat
urday on account of the order of near
ly s1,000,000 in gold for shipment to
Europe.
Leading Wall street houses are in
clined TO be reticent about this week s
gold shipment They point out that
the order from London was in the mar
ket several days last week. and that
many exchange houses refused it in
compliance with a tacit agreement
among them to refrain from shipping
until there was greater profit in the
operation or until demand sterling rose
to 4SSA. AS a matter of fact. Satur-
day orders for shipment of gold were
based on a sale of cable transfers at
4.SS15. Although the profit in this
transaction is very small. it is prob
able that other gold shipments will be
made to meet the continuing Austrian
and Japan demands on London. This
in the face of the existence of a trade
balance in favor of the United States
of over $24.000,000, with exports still
continuing in excess of imports and
with no marked selling of our securi-
ties by foreign holders.

MURDER MYSTERY.
Two Indian Boys Tell a Most Thrill
ing Tale.

Bismarck. April 26-Two Indian
boys, Paul Holytrack and Phillip Ire
land, have confessed that they were at
the Spicer place on the day of the
murder and found the members of the
family murdered and two Indians,
Blackhawk and Coddote, there. This
confession, supplementing one made by
Coddote a few days ago, goes far to-
ward unravelling the mystery of the
murder, and gives the authorities evil
dence which will be of great value in
their trial.
The boys stated that the murder was
planned some weeks before it was COM
mitted, and that Blackhawk was the
leader. The four went to the Spicor
home on the day of the murder, Black
hawk and Coddote, going TO the barn
and the boys to the house. At the barn
the two men found Spicor and Black
hawk. shot him and then split mis- head
open with an axe. Coddote then ran
to the house and told Mrs. Spicor that
her husband was sick in the barn As
soon as Mrs. SDicer appeared at the
barn door Coddote stabbed her
through the heart with a pitchfork.
CoddOte then went to the house and
found Holytrack engaged in terrific
struggle with Mrs. Rouse. He said to
Holytrack:
why don't you brain her with the
ax?"
Holytrack replied: 4 cannot. as the
children are bothering me-
Coddote then picked up the ak and
dealt each of the twin babies death
blow. The two fiends then had no
trouble in killing MIS- Rouse After
she was killed she was outraged by
Holytrack-
While this was going on at the
house Blackhawk had outraged Mrs.
Spicer at the barn. About S62 in money
was found and divided after the four
wretches completed their bloody work
Public sentiment is at fever heat,
and it is more than probable that all
four will be lynched-

Payson. Utah, April 26.-The town
was startled this morning as the APP
palling report rapidly spread that
Elmina Wilson had committed suicide
by drowning.
The unhappy lady had been suffering
for several years with mental weak
ness, induced by nervous prostration
and some other ailments. but was slow
ly recovering, sufficiently at least to
require but little attendance. When
Mrs. Wilson, the mother, called in her
room early this morning to see her,
Elmina was not in. and it was thought
she had taken her customary walk
When breakfast was ready she was
sent for to all the neighbors and rela-
tives, but could not be found. The
thought came to members of the fam
lily that something wrong had hap
pened and a search began, the big
creek some blocks away being the first
place thought of. Before reaching the
creek the mother had a premonit1on
that her daughter was there, and IL
was with difficulty that she reached it,
having fallen to her knees from weak
ness as the conviction of her dauSh-
ter's fate came to her.
On reaching the creek she was ter
rified at the sight of Eimina's hfeiess
body lying on its back in the stream
The screams of the excited mother
soon drew some of the neighbors TO
the scene, who quickly took the corpse
from the water. The body was found
living in about one foot of water with
the head down stream, the eyes glar-
ing wide open and the feet bare one
of her slippers was found under her
body and the other one about 300 yards
down the stream. 1t is thought she
jumped into the stream some distance
above where the body was found
where the water is deeper. but there
is no evidence to this effect. The act
was evidently premeditated, as appears
from what she said to her little girl
last night and from some writing lett
on the window sill to the erect that
she might never be known again
Deceased was &c years of age and
leaves a girl of u, the daughter OF o.
H. briggs, formerly of Salt Lake
whose wife she once was.
