BINDER TWINE.
Prices are Fixed by the State Prison
Authorities for this Year,

Authorities for this Year.
The board of prison managers fix
ed binder Irvine prices for the coming
season, and decided to make a uni.
form price of 81 cents per pound for
all grades. Manila was sold at that
figure last season. but the price of
the lower grades has been advanced,
owing to sharp advance in the price
of tibers used in manufacture. A
large number of orders for Irvine have
already been booked and circular
will be sent to the purchasers of
tWlne explaining the actions of the
board. In part the circular says:
"The management has fixed the
prices of binding Irvine for the ensu-
ing season at 81 cents per pound. We
are able to make these very low prices
on the two best grades of Irvine,
namely pure manila aud manila mix
ed, by reason of the fact that we pur-
chased large amountof high grade
manila last fall before the increase
in the value of that fiber, having pur-
chased on market that gives us and
our patrons an average advantage of
2 cents per pound under the present
ruling price for that fiber. This
makes the economic difference so
largely in favar of the two high grades
of Irvine that you may desire to change
your order and take all or very large
ly from the two best grades. We
guarantee all grades to be strictly
irst-class and to be equal in grade
and quality to any in the market. All
orders may be cancelled in case of
crop failure at any time prior to the
date of shipment"

.smotherlng" Hostile Fire.

The newest development ofmodern
naval warfare is "smothering" the fire
of the enemy's guns. Dewey's vessels
did it at Manila, aud to this is to be
attributed the absence Of casualties in
the American feet. The meaning of
the term thus explained by a Wash
ington correspondent:
''It is part of the tactics which keep
time with the latest form of arma-
nents. The warship of today carries
big guns below and batteries of rapid
fire guns above, and in the tops there
are machine guns. When Dewey
pushed his feet right up to the Span
ish ships under the Notifications of
Cavite he turned loose his big guns,
and at the same time the batteries of
rapid fire guns and the machine guns
were worked necessarily.
1.-THE big guns sunk the vessels,
while the smaller guns ralned bullets
SO fast that the Spaniards could not
man their guns. They "smothered"
the guns of the Spaniards so that the
latter were either slenced or operated
at random and to no purpose. The
rain of small leaden missiles made
possible the terrible execution of
Dewey's fleet without corresponding
damage from the Spaniards."
This is a graphic picture of ter
rible fact, but it is.war: and in reality
it saves life in the long run. If the
Spaniards do not like it, they can sur
render and save themselves.

REJECTED FILING AND REASON
The Commissioner Orders the Filings
 on Yuma Lands Rejected.

The Tucson Star has the following: The decision of the supreme court in the AL godones land grant case in which the grant claim was rejected caused large number of filings to be offered to the Tucson land office for lands embraced within the alleged grant.
 The register and receiver were doubt full as to receiving said filings untl in structed by the Washington office and wired for instructions concerning the same.
 The commissioner wired in reply to re- ject all filings. The Tucson office then wrote for further instructions as to the grounds upon which such rejections should be based, and received the follow ing under date of June 4th, from the commissioner as to the grounds for re- jecting filings offered on the lands com prised in the said Algodones claim which will be read with interest by those who offered them. The commissioner says:
 Under the treaties between the United States and the Republic of Mexico, at the city of Guadalupe, Hidalgo, on February 2nd. 1S4S, (Stats. 92O and the treaty be- tween the powers on December 30, 1852, (Stats 1031) all lands embraced within the boundaries of Mexican or Spanish grants or claims at the date of said treat ieS placed in state of reservation. Said reservation has been confined in force by the act of March 3rd, 1891, (26 Stats. S54) and will continue in force un- til after the judgment becomes final. and in all respects complete. (See case of Joseph Farr, "A L. D. I.)
 ''It appears that the decision of the United States supreme court in the case of the AlgodoneS grant rendered May 23. 1898, has not become final and the land is therefore still in a state of reservation"

HOW EMERSON ESCAPED.
Bribed Spanish Jailor. Stole Horse ana
 Rode Like Mad.

St Thomas. Danish West Indies, June 12-Emerson, the newspaper correspond ent who was arrested in Porto Rico, but managed to effect his escape from his captors, who thereupon declared that ne was a spy. arrived last week on tne setamer Madiana, bound for New York. He says he went to Porto Rico to assist MT. Whitney, an officer of the American Secret service, who was making investi- gations in the island. He was arrested at Caguas and thrown into jail. but did not stay there long.
 He found that his jailor was very short of money, and he offered him 25 pesetas to release him. After haggiing the jail thereafter Emerson coolly walked out of the prison. Then he stole a horse, and mounting him, rode fast and blindly for forty miles.
 He might, perhaps, have been recap tured, as he knew nothing of the coun- try, had it not been for his meeting a schoolboy. Emerson stopped the boy, by threatening him with a jackknife compelled him to draw a map of the is- land showing the main roads. The boy did the work excellently, and Emerson paid him a good price for the map and bound him to secrecy.
 By using the map Emerson was en- abled to get to Arroyo, where he found some American sympa thizers, who fur nished him with an escort of five mount ed guards. Finally, sailboat used for transporting tobacco was found, and its owner was prevailed upon to carry Elmer son to St. Croix. When he arrived at the latter place he found that the news of his escape and horse stealing experi- ence had preceded him, and he was de tained for taking the horse. The author ities were finally induced to release him, as he had sent the horse back to the place whence he had taken it. and he was permitted to sail on the Madiana-

PORTERIE'S VICTIM.
Gonzales Died at the Hos
 pif0l Last Night.
There Was Reduction Of Indignation Amona fhe Mexican Population. Threats of LynChing.

PasduaI Gonzalez, the Mexican shot by Officer Porterie on Saturday. died at the county hospital last night at half past eight He was conscious until the last moment and talked a great deal. He suffered much pain and his screams could be heard for blocks. Shortly before death. anaes- thetics were administered to relieve him. His tenacity of life was re- markable. For three hours before death no pulse could be detected. His physical pain was hardly less terrible than his mental agony, and his dread CT death. He was visited by two priests during the day and at his request the Mexican consul, who had seen him the day before, was again sent for.
 The indignation of Gonzalez,s coun- trymen residing in Phoenix against Porterie had not calmed during the night. There were threats all day yesterday of an attempted lynchlnS and at the regular meeting of the Spanish Democratic club at the court house in the afternoon an effort was made to precipitate a discussion over the shooting. The cooler headed members refused to allow the subject to be taken up.
 Another meeting was held at the court house last night, having for its object the allaying of the feeling among the Mexican population. Reso- lutions were adopted setting forth that Officer Porterie was in custody and would undoubtedly be justly dealt with. It was said that a number Of Mexicans had employed an attorney to assist the district attorney at the in quest and the preliminary examination of the officer. As soon as Gonzalez died Justice Johnstone was informed and he impaneled the following jury: Clay Leonard, J. w. Yocum, Dr. R. E. Holbrook, Thomas Coyle, Charles Foushee, George Kirkland, B. Gang, E. A. Hobart and J. A. Kurtz.
 The body in the meantime had been brought to Davis undertaking rooms, where it was viewed by the jury. The inquest was then adjourned until this morning.
 The body of Gonzalez is covered with scars, evidently knife wounds received in many an affray. Officer Porterie realizes the seriousness of his situation. He regrets exceedingly the shooting, but says he believed at the time that the life of Policeman Fay was in danger from which he

could only be relieved by the shooting of Gonzalez.
 Several hours before Gonzalez died a subscription list was opened by his Mexican acQuaintances for the pur- pose of raising money for hls burial.

THE PRESIDENTS FLAG.
That Designed for Mckinley Recalls
 the Experience of Arthur.

''The Presidents flag which has been designed for President Mckinley is not exactly a new thing, remarked an or dnance officer of the army to Star re- porter, though it is new as far as the idea of a general flag is concerned The navy got up a Presidents flag for Pres ident Arthur. but he used 1t put once- He wanted to take an ocean trip up to New York on the Presidential yacht, the Despatch and the question was raised that under the provisions of the Const1- tuition he could not do so, for the reason that the Constitution forbids the Pres1- dent leaving the United States While he is President It was urged on him that if he flew a Presidential flag on the De spatch he would be in the United states, in legal sense; that is, he would nos violate the constitutional provision while sailing under it, even if he did go out Tn the ocean. Gen. Arthur who was a law yer himself, was not exactly welded to the idea, but he let the opinions of others prevail and he made one trip, but that was all he would make. Since then the Presidential flag has never been used, and I am not exactly clear what has be- come of it. I am very clear. however. in the opinion that no President will ever make an ocean trip under it, unless there is some change made in that particular provision of the Constitution, which is not very likely to happen. While at New port President Arthur had a talk with Justice Miller, then of the United States Supreme Court, and Jeremiah Black of Pennsylvania, who was one of the lead ing constitutional lawyers of the coun- try. They both told him that it matters not what kind of flag he flew, or who made it, it was dangerous proceeding in every particular, and it would be bet ter that it should not be repeated. That settled the Presidential flag as far as ocean trips were concerned. During the same evening Jeremiah Black told Pres ident Arthur that Andrew Johnson, when he was president, once consulted him on a question which involved the same principle. It appears that Presi-
