Needs Killing

There is spaniard up Spanish Fork
canyon that needs to be killed, if what
is reported Of him is true. 1t is said he
is continually cursing the Americans,
and that he cursed the troops when
they went by over the Rio Gr,nde
Western. Such persons are dangerous
TO the country and would not hesitate
to do any treacherous act, and If this
rascal is left to go his way 1t would not
be surprising to hear OF train being
wrecked 1t IS al reported that there
are some Mexicans up the canyon who
side in with the spaniard. There are
only two things that should be done
with such subjects: either make them
prisoners or send tnem out OF the
country. The Spaniards who are citizens
OF this country since war has COM
menced have been inclined TO sympa-
thise with Spain, and they cannot be
dealt with any too severely. They are
menace to our safety and the welfare
of the government .-Payson Globe.

Thompson's Springs, Utah, May 10
The famous "Robbers Roost gang" was
practically wiped out of existence this
morning in fierce encounter between
a posse headed by Sheriff Alfred of Car
bon county, Joe Bush OF Salt Lake city,
George c.. Whitmore Of Price, and the
robbers led by Joe Walker and Butch
Cassidy, at place about 40 miles north
OF Tompson Springs.
The robbers were asleep Mt the time
they were discovered, but no advantage
OF them was taken, on this score. They
were awakened and called upon to sur
render, bn. instead OF this they grabbed
their guns and began firing at the men
that had them surrounded.
The posse returned their fire with
deadly effeca, and in less than three
minutes the bodies OF j oe Walker and
Butch Cassiday were literally riddled
with bullets, and the lesser two Lay
and Tompson, had thrown down theil
arms and surrendered.
Walker and Cassiday were game to
the last, and both died with their guns
in their hands. Each Of them got in
seve raj shots before they were killed
but the heretofore deadly aim and thu
steady nerve OF the two men had failed
them at the very time in their lives
that it should have proven best, anC
their shots all went wild, not man 0
the posse being hit.

PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

Naturally the plan Of campaign in
Santiago province is freely discussed
here, and sufficient information comes
through official sources to show that
the government has left nothing un-
done in the way Of preparing for a
successful assault upon the Spanish
stronghold. 1t Is said that there will
be no cessation, once the troops are
landed, until Santiago capitulates.
Then the big siege guns that form a
part Of the invading expedition will
be turned upon Cervera's ships in the
harbor it is calculated, with the in
evitable result Of a prompt surrender
of the Spanish admiral. With his fleet
in it's present crippled condition and
the American squadron attacking from
the sea, Cervera has little to hope for.
With him 1t Is case Of turning over
his vessels to the victorious Americans
or scuttling them and taking chances
ashore. This means that Cervera will
become a prisoner most ignominious
ending Of the strategic" movement
for which he was so unstintingly prais-
ed in Madrid. The time Is not far dis
tant, 1t is thought here, when blow
so crushing as to probably compel
Spain to sue for peace will be struck
in Eastern Cuba.

WAR MEASURE IS PASSED
SENATE PROMPTLY ADOPTED
THE CONFERENCE REPORT

Bill Was Presented by Senator Aid
ment-SenatOr Jones, Of Arkan-
sas, One of the Conferees, An
nOunced His Intention to Vote
Against Adoption of the Measure.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The senate
today adopted the conference report Of
the war revenue bill which passes the
measure.
The report was agreed to by the de-
cisive vote Of 43 to %. Every Repub-
lican voted for the measure, and their
votes were supplemented by. eight
Democrats. one Silver Republican and
enc Populist. The vote against the
measure was cast by sixteen Demo-
Gratis, three Silver Republicans and
three Populists. Following is the vote
in detail:
Caffery, Carter. Chandler, Clark. Cullom,
Deboe, Elkins, Fairbanks, Foraker. Frye,

Mr.. Aldrich R. u presented the re-
port, and when it was read said that
as senators were familiar with the de-
tails Of the report, he would make no
formal statement.
Mr.. Jones (Ark.) said that as one of
the conferees he had not signed the
report and would vote against it. Many
of the agreements were satisfactory
to him, particularly the retention of
the 7k per cent beer rate; the inher-
itance, the sleeping car, the tea tax
and other taxes put in the bill. He did
not think the reduction in the amount
OF silver to be coined each month was
necessary, but he was gratified that the
provision for the coinage of all the sill
yer bullion in the treasury had been
retained In the measure. The proposed
addition to the bonded debt of the cou11-
try was, in Mr.. Jones' opinion, serious
ly Objectionable, so much in fact that
ne would oppose the adoption of the
report. He read a newspaper clipping
announcing that arrangements had
been perfected at the treasury DEPART
ment for the immediate issue of $780,
100000 Of bonds. He had no doubt the
statement was accurate.
Mr.. Aldrich called Mr.. Jones' atten-
tion to the provisions of the bill which
were that the bonds should be issued
only as means Of raising money with
which to prosecute the war.
Mr.. Jones replied that he did Eot
doubt, however, the statement in the
newspaper. He had one other very
serious objection, he said, to the adop-
ton of the report. 1t retained the
stamp tax on deeds, checks, etc., of the
people and had released the railroads
from the requirements to pay similar
tax on bills of lading. This, he be-

BY LAND AND SEA.
According to reports emanating from
official circles, the troops will not have
to do all the fighting when the decisive
assault upon Santiago city is made.
The harbor of Guantanamo is now
in complete control of the American
squadron, and it is Admiral SIMPSONS
intention to land large force of ma
rines there simultaneously with the
landing of troops at Santiago. The
fleets now control thirty-five miles of
coast in Eastern Cuba, and it is said
the navy simply awaits the army to
inaugurate vigorous proceedings by
land and sea. It is said that, while
the land forces are attacking Santiago,
the fleet will force the channel leading
to the harbor Of that place and COM
pei Admiral Cervera to fight or sur
render. The American warships will
at least keep the Spanish so busy they
will not have time to turn their guns
upon the American land forces. There

than Guantanamo harbor for the land

WASHINGTON, June 10. = Senator
Bacon, Of Georgia, had conference
with the president today concerning
the reported yellow fever in the South
and the precautions that it will be
necessary for the government to take
to protect the troops from the disease.
Mr.. Bacon advised the president to see
to it at once that the United States
forces now in the South be removed
from the region of contagion, either by
sending them to Cuba and Porto Rico
or by removing the permanent camps
from the lowlands to higher elevations.
The whole matter has been referred by
the president to Surgeon General Wy

moment.

LONDON. June 1O.-Sir Charles Dixie,
In the house Of commons today, moving

attacked the Marquis of Salisbury's
foreign policy of concession. Referring
to the United States, he said:
Our letter relations with the United
States are mainly due to the good in

rash and feeble. Every one will well

Continuing, Sir Charles said he did
not believe in the possibility promoted
by the secretary of state for the colo
nies (Mr. Chamberlain on an alliance
with Germany.
SALISBURY'S ATTITUDE.
The parliamentary secretary for the
foreign office, George Curzon. gave
credit to the good influence of the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington. But he
asserted that credit was due not mere
ly to the ambassador or to the exigen.
cies of the moment, but to Lord
Sslisbury's friendly calm and dispas-
sionate attitude during the discussion
OF difficult matters with America two
years ago."
Mr.. Curzon added:
An arbitration treaty will some day
be accepted" This statement wzs greet.

subjects to be referred to the arbitra-
ton commission all relate to questions
between Canada and the United States.
but, he added, some of them are Of i'm
perative interest. No decisions, he con-
tinued, had yet been reached regarding
the appointment of the commissioners.
and he said he did not know whether
the agreement must be submitted to
the senate Of the United States.

Liberal leader in the house Of COM
mons, asking information this after
