The Three Were Asleep at the Time, and Were Butchered
 With an AK.
A BOY SAVES HIMSELF
 AND AN INFANT.
He Covered Up the Baby In 2 Cradle, Which Was Overlooked. Officers and Citizens Pursu.
 ing the Criminal.

Cypress, Tex, July 2o,-HenryI Meyer Jr., and his wife were literally cut to pieces and q 3.year-old boy cut and his skull smashed until there is no possible chance for him to live, one and one-half miles from here aboutl1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
 After taking dinner, MT Meyer and his wife, with their little 8-yearAold son, lay down OH the gallery of heresidence to rest. When Mr. Meyer fell asleep the man sprang upon him with an ax, killing him instantly. The negro then sprang upon Mrs. Meyer and the child, killing Mrs. Meyer as be did her hus- band, and striking the child several times.
 Then he went into room where a brother of Meyers, 10 years of age, and a girl baby of Meyers were sleeping.
 Fortunately, the boy awoke, hearing the screams of his sister-in-law just in time to make his escape.
 Strange to say, the 1O.year-old boy ex- ercised enough eoolness and forethought to throw tho baby girl in a cradle and cover it up with bedclothing before the murderer reached the room, saving her from most horrible death.
 After making his escape from the house the boy ran to neiglfbor's house near by and gave the alarm.
 In Q short while the entire community was aroused and rushed for the Meyer residence. to find Meyer and his wife lying on the gallery in pools of blood, with the 3-year-old child clasped to it's mothers breast with deathly grip and in dying condition.
 After completing bis deadly work, the negro passed ont into the field back of the house, pulled off his bloody shirt and ate watermelon. It is su3pasesl the terrible deed was committed with the in- tent to rob, as the house was ransaeked.
 Officers and citizens are out looking for the murderer.

Washington, July 20.-General shaf- ter has asked the war department to hurry forward the regiments of. inn munes for service at Santiago City and vicinity in order that there may be less danger of further infection of our troops from fever, which prevails at Santiago.

 The secretary also said the military governor of Santiago had not been def- nitely selected.

Nothing From Dewey.

Washington, July 3 -The navy de- partment has received no dispatches from Admiral Dewey relating to the press reports concerning our relations with Germany, but officials feel much less concerned over Germany's attitude, and there is good reason to believe dl- rect assurances have been received from Germany that she would offer no ob- stacles to the execution of our plans.

tion, either by the administration or by the commission that will necessi- tate the assumption by the United States of supremacy ovsr the entire archipelago. There is no half way measure between abandoning the is lands and evading the responsibility acquired by Rear Admiral Dewey's victory, or of accepting the responSi- bility altogether
 The administration is not anxious to possess the Philippines. but it would no more think of restoring them to Spain than it would think of paying Spain an indemnity for the destruction Of Montojo's fleet. The commission CTS at Paris are thoroughly acquainted with the attitude of the administration, and also with the position of Euro- pean powsrs. They have received in formation that if Spain is permitted to retain any Of the Philippines she will attempt at once to dispose of them to Germany CT France and thus en- danger the peace of the world.
 It can be said on the highest author ity that not cnly have the proceedings of Paris been devoid of sensational in cident, but that the administration is entirely confident that a treaty is to be negotiated which shall fix on tha United States and it's people responsi- bility both in the west and in the east

Washington, Oct. 23.-Plotters Of mischief have spread reports at Paris consistently that the Spanish and American peace commissioners are at odds and that there is possibility of such a division that the negotiations fer peace may be broken of.
 Nothing could be further from the truth.
 The reports from the Amsrican com- missicnerS received at the state de- partment describe the proceedings as harmonious and make no reference to unreasonable obstinacy on the part of the representatives of Spain.
 The truth is that the Spanish com missiOners realize the hcpelessness of any attempt to withstand the demands of the Unitsd States in respect either to Cuba or to the Philippines They will yield to the United States at every point As fer Cuba, the United States will take possession on December 1.
 In the Philippines there has been no change since the departure Of the American commissioners from Wash ington. The American commissioners have been instructed to so conduct their negotiations at Paris as to insure the supremacy Of American infiusHce in the island Of Luzon, and, in the opinion Of the administration and of every authority called into consulta-

FAVORABLE OUTLOOK.
The Entire Republican Ticket win be
 Elected.

Prescott, Ariz, Oct 20.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- MT. Joseph Morrison has travelled over ths county extensively and he says that there never was a time when the outlook was mere favorable for the election of the entire republican ticket in Yavapai county. The silver issue is dead, he says, and the democrats fail to arouse any interest in it among the people. In regard to the Yavapai county bond matter MT. Morrison says: T have stumped the county answering the charges made by the democrats, and the people understand the matter thoroughly. They know that Gen. eral' Wilson gave his opinicn, which is now in my cfice, in which he said that the bonds were a legal obligation. Many of the men who are using this matter as an issue of the campaign thought the same way at that time. and their change of front is so trans parente that the people will not bo fooled by them.
 AS far as Col Brodie is concerned" said MT Morrison, there is no QueS- tion of his ability. to carry our county. It rests now cn the majority ne VIII receive"
 Miss Jennie Willis, formerly of Phoe- nix, presented Col. Brodie with handsome bouquet of flowers which came from the Salt River valley.
 ssss
 Miners came from all parts of the county to greet Gel Brodie. I talked with many of them and found that they have put all issues aside for statehood, and they are using their influence in behalf of the popular Rough Rider" from their county. No class of men feel more than they do the need of statehood and stable government by the people. They are but voting for their individual inter ests in supporting Col. Brodie.

ERODE AND SON.
A Democratic Conversation on princi-
 pies and Legislators.

T think I'll cross the suit and vcte for Brodie," said democrat yesterday. 'I1l square matters with my con- science by voting the rest of my ticket straight.
 ''I'm as good free silver 1lan as Henry M. Teller" he continued, "and if lived in Colorado I'd be free sil- yer republican. But as I am living here I'm an Arizonian''
 T like Brodie well enough" said another democrat, but I'm going to vote fer my principles
 What rrin ciple?" asked the first
 Free silver, 16 to l." was the reply. Let me say somsthing to you about principles replied the other. Free silver, Is to 1, is beautiful. So is 'V;r- tue is its cwn reward and one has as much to do with the consequences Of this campaign as the ether I'm s;oiAg to vote for something expect to get and net for something I know to d dead certainty is beyond my reach. ] doL't consider this an abandonment of ny principles. If Arizona were a state and silver were in an almost hopeless minority I would vote and work fer it. As things stand now if every voter in the territory should vote for this principle, what would be accomplished now or hereafter? We might IS well be voting for home rue in Ireland.
 My eyes are not dazzlsd by the statehood argument, either Pm not expecting statehood this year or the next or the next after that, but there are othsr good things for Arizona be- side statehood that we can get through Brcdie and cannot get through Will son. AS to the two men personally have little choice I have seen both and am net well acquainted with either. have been told that Wilson's legal qualifications fit him better for the duties, Of a delegate. Now let us see abois that. Wilson is not the foremost member Of the Arizona bar. He .5n't even in the front rank Hes a great many notches below such law yers as Baker. Ainsworth, Barnes, Wright, Franklin, Ellinwood, Johnston, Herndon. Morrison and a dozen others, might name We'll say there are 300 lawyers in the house of representa- lives; 250 of them are nc doubt su- perior to Wilson in every way. Hardly more than dozen of them are even Ieard from except in the Congression- al Record, which shows how they vote and maybe contains speeches which were never delivcred. Arizcna isn't sending 2 man to congress to legiS- late; there are a dozen ether fellows attending to thlt job. What we want is a good agent or delegate who can g=t next to tf.ese Legislators and the administration. I believe Brcdie can como nearer earning his salary as aD agent

MONUMENT TO FIR. BLAINE
Duplicate sf His Sons HeadStOne to
 Mark His Grave.

Washington, Oct 23-When James c. Blaine, the celebrated statesman, buried his son Walker a. Oak Hill cemetery he selected site for his own grave. This site, which was after ward used as his place Of burial, is To- cated near the frcnt entrance to the cemetery, and was formerly conspicu- ous by the presence near it Of a dead cak tree At the time Mr. Blaine re- marked that the blasted tree aptly rep resented his hopes in life, and he made the request tiat nothing but this tree should mark his last resting placa. His wish in this respect has been faithfully observed up to date, and the tree has been the sole monument to the rsmains of the illustricus deceased Some months ago, during heavy wind storm, the blasted tree was consider ably shattered, spelling the beauty tha. existed in it to the eyes cf a good many persons.
 After carefully weighing the matter Mrs. Blaine came to the conclusion that the grave should be suitably marked- Accordingly about six months age she ordered 8 duplicate of the Walker Bla;n headstone, through a 1cca1 monumental firm, to be placed at her husbands grave. On account of the fine quality of marble dssired, which exists in small thin stratas CT layers in the Green Mountain state. the Washington firm has only just bean able to secure a suitable block, which is new being appropriately inscribed. preparatory to it's erection at the head cf his grave. The stone is eight feet high and is of the simplest design, de void of any ornamentation. It is said that it tc0k five months to secure piece of marble suitable fer the Blaine monument. l. will be placed in posi- tion within the next ten days The in scripticn consists of simply the name, dete and place Of birth and date and place Of death.

~AS GOOD AS ELECTED"
nr. Merritt Says Thai RoosevelfS Success is Foregonc Conclusion.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Mr. John A. Merritt, third assistant postmsster general, has just returned from tour of western New York. MT. Merritt is one of the /most active politicians in his section of the s.ste, and his recent trip was mere for the purpose Of look ing after the organization of the party in and about Lockport, his old home, than anything else. MT. Merritt spoke enthusiastically of the republican cut lock in New York. He said:
 Roosevelt is just as good as elected. It is foregone conclusion. The re- publican organization in western New York is more thorough than it has been fer years, and there is no apathy. On the contrary there is the greatest activity in politics. This is better il- frustrated by the returns from the reg istratiOn districts The registration Of voters is larger than it was in 1896, something unprecedented. Roosevelt is the talk of the hour, and I cannot re- member an instance where the people were so anxious to see and near their candidate speak as in the preSsnt cam paign. Colcnel Roosevelt has a strong hold upon the affections of the people. His honest administration while con- nected with the municipality of New York and his great daring before San tiago have made popular idol Of him. He will win by an overwhelming ma jority.
 'The democrats in the western part Of the state still cling to the Chicago platform, and their adherence will lcse the party many votes, for I knew of 9 number Of gold democrats who will vote for Roosevelt All this talk about disruption in the ranks of the repub- lican party leaders is the veriest trash. 1 happen to knew the facts, and I tell you the greatsss harmony prevails
