OUTLAWS WIPED OUT.
The Black Jack Gang Ran Down and
KILLED by Mormons From Round
VsIley-A Desperate Gang.

Ell. Paso, Tx, March 21.-
The notorious Black Jack gang
of outlaws, which for years has
defied the United States and
local authorities of the SOUTH
west, has at last been wiped
out and its career of crime
brought to a close. 1t remained
for the ayenging angels of the
Mormon colony, near Casa
Grande, Mexico, to seek out
the rendezvous of the band in
the almost inaccessible Sierra
Madre mountains and to carry
death to its members. The
news was brought from Casa
Grande today.
On February %, Mrs. A. T.
Mcdonald. a memoer of the
Mormon community at Round
Valley, 40 miles east Of Casa
Grande, was murdered by two
members of the gang and her
store looted. The avenging
angels of the Mormon church
were commissioned to hunt
down the murderers and they
did their work well. Sunday.
March 6, they discovered the
retreat of :he gang, at a point
in the mountains so miles from
Round Valley. and at daylight
had the camp completely sur
rounded. AS soon as the camp
began to stir the firing began.
and in a short time not one of
the gang remained alive. A
party of American prospectors
came upon the camp the next
day and found nine bodies stiff
in death. and afterwards
learned from the Mormons the
manner of their slaughter. The
Black Jack gang of train rob-
bers was the most desperate
and successful that ever oper-
ated in the southwest. Among
their crimes are the looting of
the town of Solomonville,
Ariz., and the murder of the
postmaster there; the holding
up of trains ON the Santa Fe,
Pacific at Rio Purercio, N. NJ,
and at Grants Station. AT the
latter point trains were held up
at two different times, the most
recent being five months ago,
when it was reported that the
robbers secured some $50, 900.

have made two expeditions into
Mexico in pursuit of the ban.

Decision Lies With Spain.

Toledo. Ohio. March 21.-Ex-
Secretary of Treasury Charles Fos-
ter today gave a newspaper inter
view on the Cuban situation, as.
follows:
The decision for peace or war
really lies with Spain. She must
accept our intervention in Cuba or
she must declare war. Senator
Proctor's vivid description Of the
condition of the island and the hor-
rors suffered by the hapless Cuban
reconcentrados shows a condition
which justifies the United States in
intervening promptly. Now. what
shape should our intervention takei
| am strongly in favor Of doing it
by the recognition of the republic
of Cuba as a free and independent
nation. The United States should
not declare war against a weaker
nation. Put the burden of decision
upon her by the simple course of
recognizing Cuba as independent. +"

gineering seems to be decreasing. rath

FOUR MEN KILLED.
Caused by the Explosion Of Mine
at Boston Harbor.

BOSTON, Dec. 6.-Four men were
killed and several severely injured at
Fort independence, on Castle Island, in
Boston harbor, this afternoon by the ex-
plosion of a mine which had been 1e-
moved from the channel by a diver
The dead: Sergeant Morris Nc
Grath, Hiram Vaughn, Private Bren-
nan Ca diver), = Ryan, citizen.
The men We're engaged in carting
the mine from the shore to the interior
OF the island to place it with other i'm
plements of the same nature which had
been taken there since the war ended
Three men, Vaughn, Brennan and
Ryan, had placed the mine on the cart
and started to take it to the place where
the other ammunition was stored The
road along which they passed was un-
usually smooth, having been construct
ed with view to the necessity of care
in transporting explosive material. Sud
denly and without warning the mine
burst. The horse and cart and the three
men were blown TO fragments Ser
geant McGrath was standing fully
twenty feet away. He was instantly
killed by the concussion. His body
does not bear mark of any SORT
AS soon as possible after the explo-
sion careful search was begun by
Lieutenant Raymond, who had charge
of removing the mines, but not a frag-
ment Of men or clothing could be
found. Lieutenant Raymond stated
that he could not explain how the expio-
sion occurred. He says that since the
order was issued from Washington hum
dreds Of mines have been handled in
precisely the same way as was this one,
and transported over the same road.
Ryan was a civilian assisting in the
work. Vaughn was a member Of the
Engineer Corps. He had only two
weeks more to serve, when he expected
to be transferred to a naval college to
take course of naval construction.
Sergeant McGrath was the keeper of
the island.
