The ayowed friendship of Great Britain toward the United States has a golden hue. England has very large interests in Cuba. even greater than those of the United States. All the railways, many of the tram-caI lines in the cities, the gas works, the electric light plants and other industries were built on British capital. The Bank ot Havana owes $S,0000O0 in England, and it is estimated that not less than S25.~ 100000 of English money is invested in real estate and sugar and tobacco plantations. Several of the munici> palities of Cuba have obtained loans in the London market, upon which the interest has not been paid for several years, and altogether not less than $200000,0O0 of British gold is in peril as long as the war in Cuba continues.-Ex.

PROBABLE KILLING!!!
4 Shooting AFfray at Jerome this Morn- ing Will Probably End the Life of
 a Tough Character.
4 Miner SbOt Through the Leg While Defending Himself From an Alleged Murderous
 Assault.

The sheriifs office received word this morning that a shooting affray had occurred, just after midnight at Jerome, that would in all probabil- ties be attended with fatal results.
 The participants were Francisco Juarado and Fred Starke. The former has the reputation of being an all round tough character, who formerly resided at Congress, when he was not serving time in the county jail. He moved to Jerome some time since and while he has never been in jail since changing his residence there it is said that he has had more or less trouble. Starke is a miner and Is said to be a very peaceable and quiet man.
 The shooting took place on the main street in front of the Fashion saloon, Francisco being the alleged trapsgressOr. Several shots were fred, one of which penetrated Fran eisco's abdomen, producing a wound 1t was thought will prove fatal.
 Starke was shOC in the leg and was taken to the hospital. After being wounded the Mexican tried to get away, but was unable to do so.
 Sheriff Rufner, in answer to the summons, left for Jerome today.
 Juarado has an aged mother who IS perfectly devoted to her son, and who has helped to get him out of more than one of his scrapes. ani has also tried every way that a mother could to have her son abaD- deR his wild way, but without avail.

Mrs. Small, better known by the name of her former husband, Mrs Smith, sister of Mrs. Collumber died at an early hour this morning of pneumonia, superinduced by an attack of the grippe. She had only been sick for few days, and her condition was not at all considered critical. At 3 o'clock this morning her nurse visited her to glve her some medicine, but was told by Mrs. Small not to bother her that she was feeling very comfortable and wanted to be let alone and permitted to rest. At o'clock the nurse again called but her patient seemed to be resting easy, and she was not dis turbed. Another visit was made at ) o'clock, when, to tfe great surprise of the nurse, the patient was found to be cold. Dr. Butcher was hastily summoned, but on his arrival, he pronounced her dead, and gaze it as his opinion that she had been dead for a couple of hours.
 The husband of the deceased lives in San Bernardino, California, and was notified of his wife's death. Besides her mother, Mrs. Ray, and her sister, Mrs. Collumber, she leaves four children, a grown son and daughter, Walter and Jessie Smith, and Ada and Arthur Small, aged respectively about Sand 6 years.

The team attached to Hathaway's bus took advantage of an opportunity given it to demou- strate its speed, and starting from the depot, run up Cortez street and then down Garley to 8 point oppo- site Hotel Winsor, where 1t ran into an empty wagon, drawn by four horses. The momentum Of the team was so great that the of horse was thrown clear upon the empty wagon, landing partly on its back and with one leg through one of the rear wheels of the wagon. Both wheels on one side of the wagon had to be removed in order to extricate the animal from its position, and strange as IL may appear, escaped unhurt with the exception of slight cut on one fore leg.

A Successful Entertainment.

Prescott amateur actors added fresh laurels to their brows last evening by their excellent produc- ton of Barbara" and 'Shaun Aroon." Where each one acquitted himself and herself as creditably as was done last evening It would be invidious to make comparisons and an injustice to make personal men, tion except of all. Those who were present, and the opera house was comfortably filled, have nothing but words of praise for all who took part. The only drawback of the evening was in the rendering of the illustrated songs. Mir. McCann, who was expected to render these songs, was unable to do so on account of a serious sore throat, and Miss Etta Dewitt was selected to take hls place. Not expecting this task she was compelled to sing from one Of the flies, which spoiled the othar wise fine effect of her beautiful voice.

Want Hart Pardoned .

Philadelphia, March 16.-More than 100000 signatures have been secured in Philadelphia alone to the petition to President Mckinley ask ing him for the pardon of Captain John D. Hart, who three weeks ago began serving a two years sentence in states prison for complicity in sending fllibustering parties to Cuba. As has already been made public, the case of Captain Hart is surrounded by circumstances of a pathetic nature, his two daughters of tender years being left without means of support during their fathers Imprisonment. The move ment looking to a pardon by the president was started in New Jersey under Grand Army auspices and be- fore the printed blanks were re- ceived in Philadelphia hundreds of citizens of the Quaker City had sent tc the committee long lists of sigma lures written on impromptu blanks. When presented to the president, the petition will probably be the most extensive of any ever sent to Washington.
