HANDY WITH HIS GUN
Deputy Sheriff CaIverly, at Evans
ton, Kills a Desperate.
A. PETERS BAD BREAK
a GENERAL JAIL DELIVERY
HAD BEEN PLANNED.
Peters Sprang Upon the Deputy and
the Latter Opened Fire, Fatally
Wounding the Prisoner = Peters
Was One of the Men Who Held
Up Snyder and Painter.
fspecial TO The HeraId.)


Evanston, Wyo., Feb. 24.-As a result
of an attempt at Jail delivery at 9
o'clock this morning, Albert Peters.
alias Jack Frost, lies dead in the Tin
tab hotel in this city. He met his
death at the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Calverly, whom he tried to overpower
in a bold effort TO evade punishment for
his crimes.
Peters was implicated in the Snyder
and Painter hold-up last January, and
was captured at Granger a week after
by the man at whose hands he met his
death. Upon his arrival in Evanston
he made a confession, duplicating a
trio confined in the county jail, and di-
rected the officer to the spot where he
has secreted his disguise clothing.
The break for liberty had been plan
ned for several days past and the dead
man was to have been assisted by six
others, who will stand trial at the April
term of court. Peters was selected, as
the strongest man, to overpower the
law officer and at breakfast time today
he sprang forward as the cell door
opened and bounced upon Calverly, at
the same time endeavoring to rain
blows upon his person.
After a short scuffie Calverly reached
his revolver and fired two shots in quick
succession, the first striking in close
proximity to the heart and the second
shattering the left arm at the elbow.
A general delivery was foiled by the
brave manner in which the officer took
his part. Dressed up and in regular
street attire were prisoners Banks.
Peasley and Dow, whose intention was
to aid Peters, but who were foiled by
the quick action Of the stalwart deputy.
Peters was a native of Virginia, but
his home was in Springfield, o., where
his father is now employed in a stone
quarry. He was a young man, about
"a years of age, and bore an excellent
reputation up to the time of his i'm
plication in the hold-up. 1t was his de-
sire that he die a Catholic and he was
accordingly baptized and given the last
rites of the church.
The coroner's inquest will be held to-
morrow and it is expected that the re-
mains will be forwarded to his home in
Ohio.

QUESTION OF vERACTTY.
Idaho State Officials Dispute Each
Others Word.
(Special to Nc Herald }


Boise, Ida. Feb. 24.-The case decided a
few days ago in the supreme court in
favor of State Auditor Anderson against
Secretary OF State Lewis has developed
a sensational controversy between the sec
rotary of state and the attorney general.
In his suit the auditor recovered 500 for
the state from Lewis that amount having
been paid to Lewis by the Sentinel Print
ing company of this city for transcribing
the session laws and house and senate
journals. Lewis claimed that he did the
work as a private individual and not
as a part of his official duties. In his an
swsr to Anderson's complaint the sec
rotary showed that he had been advised
by Attorney General Mcfarland that he
could keep the money paid him for the
transcribinS. The attorney general was
not here at the time the case was heard,
but on Wednesday ne wired Auditor An
derson that he had not given the secretary
of state such advice. The attorney gen
eral returned to the city today. He says
he had not given Mr.. Lewis a legal opin-
ion on the subject at any stage.
Secretary of State Lewis states en-
phatically that he had sought and secured
the legal advice of the attorney general
on this matter.

DBRINe BACK OUR DEAD"
Hopeless Appeals By Relatives of the
Maine Martyrs.

Washington, Feb. 24-The statement
in the Sigsbee dispatch that friends
of the dead should understand that we
are in the tropics is understood at the
navy department to refer to the urgent
pleas of relatives of the dead for the
bodies to be brought to the United
States. These appeals, while they ex-
cite deep sympathy, no hope can be
held out that the dead can be brought
back. One of these appeals makes a.
pitiful plea against the burying of the
dead by alien hands in an allen cOun-
try" There are circumstances which,
if they could be made known, would
end such appeals and would show that
the department has not been wanting
in a desire to bring the remains to
this country. These circumstances
have been withheld, mainly through a
desire to save friends and relatives
from the pain which would be caused
by a full disclosure of the effects of
the explosion.
The press reports have given in part
the terrible mutilatiOn of the bodies,
but it is feared this has not been fully
realized by friends and relatives. The
men were sleeping on the berth deck.
with metal floors and ceilings, which,
by the force of the terrific explosion,
We're ground together into a confused
mass. Knowing this, there is little
hope that many of the bodies still
missing viii be found, or. if found,
that they will be in a condition to be
brought TO the United States.

STARVING OUT THE STRIKERS
POLICY OF TIE NEW ENGLAND
MANUFACTURERS.
Upon the Nature of Response For
Aid Will Depend the Success or
Failure of the Strikers.

New Bedford. Mass, Feb. 24.-An i'm
portant appeal was issued today by the
council of cotton mill strikers in this
city, and upon the nature of the re-
Spouse, it is said, will depend whether
or not the mill hands Will return to
work under the recent reduction of
wages. The appeal is addressed TO the
Men and women of New England,
and asks. for financial strength to con-
tinue the fight. 1t is said about 400
families, comprising 1000 men, women
and children, are slowly starving to
death, and unless aid is forthcoming,
within a short time the strike will have
to be abandoned. The appeal adds:
The manufacturers are fully alive to
this fact and are waiting with patience
and confidence the time when the large
sections of the strike will be only too
glad for an opportunity to return to
work under any conditions that may
be offered"

EXAMPLE OF SPANISH TACT.
Incident Smoothed Over That Threat
ened Cancellations.

SASO OOl1 H.1Cc1t4O4AS.
Washington, Feb. 24-At the Spanish
legation much interest is manifested in
the developments attending the Maine
inquiry, and the earnest hope is ex-
pressed that conservative judgment
will not be influenced by reports which,
by the Spanish legation, are regarded
as untrustworthy. Mr.. Du Bose and
his staff are maintaining a calm atti-
tude and are seeking to allay every
thing which might infiame public SEN
timent. Recently an incident occurred
at small city which might have given
the ground for official attention had
it not been smoothed by the tactful
action of the Spanish officials at the
place of the incident. The aggressive
element prevailing in this local COM
munity found expression against the
Spanish consular agent located at that
point. Under ordinary circumstances
he would have brought the indignities
to the attention of the Spanish officials
here, in which case il would, of neces-
sity have been made the subject of
Official attention. Instead of doing so,
however, the Spanish agent appealed
TO the mayor of the city, and salts
factory adjustment was made without
any appeal TO the authorities here. The
incident was thus closed before there
was even tlie opportunity OF IicllOn,
and it is cited as an instance of the
desire of the Spanish authorities to
show every forbearance and friendly
spirit
The Spanish cruiser Vizcaya probably
will sail tomorrow for Havana That,
however, is a matter wholly within the
discretion of Captain Eulate 1t is
probable that she would have gone
before this time if it were not for the
misleading impression which an early
departure might occasion. Reports re-
ceived today at the legation speak with
satisfaction of the cOurtesies which
the government officials at New York
have shown to the officers and men of
the shin

ASSESSMENT ON GROUPS
SIX WEEKS EXTENSION OF TIME
WILL BE GRANTED.
New Regulations Requiring $500
Worth of Work For Each Claim,
Will Date From February 1st-
Decision Reached By Commission
er Hermann Yesterday.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, Feb. 24-It has been
represented to the officials of the in
terror department that much injury is
about to accrue to many corporations
and individuals by rigid enforcement
of the new mining regulations of date
Dec. Is. The regulations require the
expenditure of $500 for each claim of
group of claims. Several strong pro-
tests have reached the department, to
the effect that if the new rules were
made to apply from Dec. 10, the date
ofs-their issue, they would be retro
active in operation. It has been urged
that many persons at that date, and
for some time afterward, did not have
knowledge of the important change
which had been made in the regula-
tons, and that it would be a manifest
injustice to arbitrarily enforce them
The commissioner of the general land
office stated to your correspondent to-
day that he had decided to recommend
to the secretary of the interior that
the new regulations be not enforced
on claims prior to Feb. l of this year,
thus giving claimholders six weeks
time in which to familiarize them
selves with the alteration in the regu-
lauOns. He recommends that after the
LIST of the present month the enforce
ment of the new regulations shall be
imperative. They will apply to all
claims upon which work has not been
done in accordance with the new regu-
lations.
Commissioner Hermann said this
evening that he had no doubt that the
secretary would endorse his recon-
mendatiOnS relative to the matter

the general, that he was waiting for a
complete report of the naval board of
inquiry, and that should it report that
our sailors had met their death through
Spanish treachery, he was prepared to
act at once. and in a manner which
would meet the approval of every loyal
American Citizen
General Powell said preparations for
war were being pushed with the utmost
vigor, and added: Il am convinced
that President Mckinley is the right
man in the right place and that as soon
as Spanish treachery has been proven,
his policy will be rigid enough to meet
the approval of the most pronounced
LIMOGES"

almost united. and while ready to make
concessions for the sake of maintaining
peaceful relations with foreign powers,
the country would not allow important
British interests to be sacrificed.

AFTER PAUNCEFoTE.
Alleged Scheme to Trap the British

been made by newspapers in London
and New York to obtain some letters
which the British ambassador to the
United States, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
is supposed to have written, containing
strong expressions regarding the Amer
lean senate's rejection of the arbitra-

Mail, was to compel Sir Julian to fol-
low Senior de LONE. The paper adds:
