while the procession was passing but
because they saw fit to leave The street
and replac, their headgear before the
rag.tag and bob tail of the panitentes
were out of sight, they were assaulted,
insulted and thrown into Jail by a
drunken sheriff and his intoxicated
deputies, all of whom are members OF
the penitente organization. Clifford,
the young man now in Santa Fe, had
nothing to do with the matter on the
start After the sheriff had thrown
the strangers in Jail he started out to
kill someone on general principles, and
Clifford was the first man he met. Gift
ford got away from him, but in en-
deavoring to get to his boarding house
met Truiillo again, and the latter
opened fire on him. A tier the second
shot, fired by Trujillo, about twenty
reports were heard from the crowd
that had gathered, and the sheriff fell
mortally wounded. Thirteen balls
were dug out of the adobe wall that
had been fired by the sheriff and 9th
ers. The reports that the matter had
resolved itself into a war between the
Ameri ,ans and native people are un-
founded. The real state of affairs is
that it was conflict between whisky
infuriated penitentes and the rest Of
the people in Taos.
ITO Hon. Malaquias Martinez much
praise is due TOR preventing a serious
riot. In company with friends he pre-
vented clash between thu friends of
the sheriff and the other residents of
the town. Clifford is now in the Gus
tody of the sheriff ofSBnta Fe county"

In regard to the riot at Taos, result

New Mexican of the 18th says:
Deputy United States Marshal
Sheridan returned from Taos last
night, bringing with him Albert Gift

jillo, of Taos county, accuse of shoot

"Mr. Sheridan's story of the trou
bles in Taos clears up many matters
which could not be understood in

race war. The story first sent out
that the shooting resulted from the
arrest of the tourists representing
Scribner's magazine for not removing

President Mckinley has met with

of the Southern states. He attended
the peace jubilee at Atlanta. Ga, on
the 14th and 18th, and his utterances S

plause. A scene of intense enthusiasm
followed these remarks by the presi-
dent:
every soldiers grave made during
the unfortunate civil war is a tribute
to American valor. And while, when
those graves we're made, we differed
widely about the future of the govern

Death of ii. w. Cox &.

II. w. Cox, an old and much re-
spected citizen of this county died at
the home of his son.i n.law, A. U.
Graves, at Cedar Hill, last Friday and
was buried at the family burying
ground Saturday.
Mr.. Cox had been sufferer for the
past ten or twelve years from can
Ger, and though ho tried every remedy
that medical science could offer, he
could get no permanent relief, and it
was finally the means Of his taking off.
Hiram Washington Cox was one of
the earliest settlers of this county,
haying come here from Colfax county,
this territory, in 1877. He brought a
large herd of cattle with him and was
at one time rated as the wealthiest
man in the county, but on account of
the depression in the cattle business
buring the years from 1885 to 1898, he
lost all of his property and at the time
of his death was in quite moderate
circumstances.
Notwithstanding his advanced age
and the intense suffering he has had
to endure. he retained his cbaracteris-
tic energy up to few days before his
death. He was always just and up
right man an enterprising citizen, and
generous neighbor.
His hospitality was always extended
to those in need Of food and shelter,

MARK HAS THE REPORT.
En- Route For Washington With Findings
of Maine Court of Inquiry.

Key West, March 23.-The report OF
the court of inquiry left here yesterday
afternoon in the custody of Lieutenant
Commander Mark, judge advocate of
the court of inquiry. Ef the train con-
nections are made, he win arrive in
Washington with the documents Thurs
day night.
Whether the report will meet with
the approval of the navy department is
a matter of conjecture. Even Rear Ad-
miral Sicard declines to prophesy. The
general opinion of naval officers here.
however, is that the navy department
will quickly approve the findings and
publicly convey them to the nation with
as little delay as possible.
AS is natural, all who could speak au-
thoritatively regarding the report con-
tinue to maintain the silence which has
marked the history of this most re-
markable court. In the absence of any
reliable basis, speculation continues as
rife as ever, and accurate news from
Washington is awaited as eagerly by
Rear Admiral Sicard as by the youngest
cadet in the fleet.
Despite the absence from Key West
of the documents on which the eyes of
the world are fixed, the court of in
quiry continues in existence, though
inactive. Should the navy department
require further investigation and ex-
press dissatisfaction with the findings,
it is probable the court would be obIig-
ed to return to Havana, though the re-
lease of all the Maine officers held here
as Witnesses makes it unlikely that any
loophole has been left which would
justify the department in requiring the
court to perform further work. From
statements made here the conclusion is
drawn that the findings will be given 20
the public in about a week.

PREPARING FOR WAR

Prospective Mobilization of Infantry ane

Army oficers Studying the Topography
Of cuba-Large Orders For Munitions
Washington. March 2S.-Orders have
already been prepared for transmission
from the headquarters in Washington
Of the major general commanding tht
army providing for the movement OF
all infantry and cavalry troops OF the
country to stations on the Atlantic and
gulf coasts. These orders have been al
most daily expected since the instruc'
tions were sent to the heads OF military
departments, about ten days ago, call
ing on them to make all necessary prep
arations to move troops to the Atian,
tic seaboard on receipt of orders to that
effect. The first radical step taken oy
the army administration, aside from
the expenditure of funds for national
defense. was the reorganization of ths
military departments of the country,
making two departments of the eastern
,seaboard states and giving the new de-
partment of the gulf one of particular
Importance. In the event that orders
are transmitted very soon for the gem
eral movement of troops, as now seems
likely. it is expected that they will be
assigned in large numbers to stations
within the department of the gulf,
where General William M. Graham is
in command.
New evidences of the determination
of the government to be prepared to
meet the exigency of immediate war
were apparent at the war department.
The bureau of military information IS
collecting the most complete facts in
regard to the geography of Cuba and
the outlying islands of the West Indies
and of the Philippines. The informa~
ton is obtained from every source, pub
lie and private, which the department
can command AS soon as received tho
facts are put in form for transmission
to heads Of military departments and
posts for their instruction and for ac-
tua1 use in the field.

Lehigh valley Miners Strike.

employed at the yorktown eolliery Of
the Lehigh Valley Coal company have
gone on strike. This decision was
reached at a meeting of the United
Mine Workers in Yorktown on Monday
night. Everything is quiet about the
works, and no violence is feared by the
officials. The cause of the strike is dis
satisfaction over the treatment of a
fireman, John Boyle who was repri-
manded last week by Foreman Hayes
and then quit work.
