Cheyenne, Wyo., June "a second
battle with the dynamiters OF the
Union Pacific express train has been
fought in the mountains forty miles
north of Casper by the sheriffs posse
which has been in pursuit since Sun
day morning, and as result one man
and probably more lie dead. The first
battle was fought Sunday on Tea Pot
creek, thirty miles north of Casper. No
one was wounded during this engage
ment, but several horses were killed.
The second battle was fought last
evening at d point ten miles farther
north and in a wilder country. The
robbers, being closely pressed, made a
determined stand behind some rocks in
a deep ravine and when the posse put
in an appearance opened fire at close
range Sheriff Joe Hazen of Douglas,
Wyo., fell at the first fire, being shot
through the stomach. The officer was
removed TO "a safe place and afterwards
brought to Casper by two cowboys, ar
irving at the latter place this noon.
Brave Hazen Dies.
General Manager Dickinson. of the
Union Pacific. who has been at Casper
since Monday, directing the work of
hunting down the robbers, rendered the
use of his private train and HaZen was
taken to his home at Douglas. A tele-
gram from there this evening states
that the officer died shortly after
reaching his home.
The posse resumed the fight as soon
as HaZen. had been removed and was
successful in a short time in driving
the robbers from their stronghold and
away from their horses. which were
secured. The robbers retreated 10 a
natural fort among the rocks, some two
miles away, where they entrenched
themselves and prepared for a bitter
fight. The posse quietly divided up and
surrounded the place. and when a cour-
Ter left the scene. the officers were ly-
ing on their arms with the robbers
completely surrounded and hemmed in.
An urgent request was sent in for re-
Inducements and a supply of food and
ammunition.
Talk of Lynching.
In response United States Marshal
Hadsell of Wyoming. who had just
reached Casper from the western part
of the state where he had been hunting
for the other three train robbers, !
started out with another posse and [
with arms, food, ammunition and |
horses in plenty.
The capture of the three robbers who |
are hemmed in in the mountains \
Torty-five miles north OF Cas- |
per is now thought certain. |
but whet her they will ever |
reach the railroad is another question. |
as there is intense excitement in Cas-
per and in Douglas and talk of lynch /
ing the robbers if caught is plentiful.

An Unforeseen Event.

But none of us thought this extra
ordinary event would be followed by
military occupation of the country by
our allies, who treat us as people in
capable of acting for ourselves, and
who have reduced us to obedience, to
submission and TO the tutelage imposed
by force of circumstances.
"This cannot be our ultimate fate,
after the years of struggle, and we
should aid by every pacific method in
finishing the work of organizing which
the Americans accepted in the protocol.
and which is as disagreeable for them
as for ourselves. This aid will prove
useless without concord among all the
islanders. Therefore, it must be neces-
sary to forget past diSagreements to
completely unite all, and to organize
a political party, which is needed in
any country.
TT is always said that countries
have the government which they merit,
and Cuba will have that which her
heroism entitled her to. Today she can
only have one party in Cuba, with one
object-that off obtaining the aspira-
ton of years.
I'VE must devote ourselves to pa
cifc labors. gain me respect of the
world and show that though our war
was honorable, our peace must be
more so.
1--WE must make useless by our be-
havior the presence of a strange power
in the island and must assist the
Americans to complete the honorable
mission they have been compelled TO
assume by force of circumstances.

ANOTHER SHNsEuEsS PROPOSE.
IrON.

h Tatnah Warner appears to have an
undying affection for the Board of
water Commissioners, and an undying
hatred for the Board Of Directors OF
the Street and Sewer Department We
believe that the Board of Water Com
rnissioners Is an excellent customer Of
his In the matter Of cement, and that
the Board Of Directors Of the Street
and Sewer Department does not pa
tronize him In this OF any other par
ticuiar. Perhaps this has something to
do with his suggestion that the pres
ent Board Of Directions of the Street
and Sewer Department be abolished,
and that its powers be vested In the
Board Il Water Commissioners, which
body shall be increased to five mem-
bers to run not only the water plant
and the streets and sewers. but also
an electric light plant to supply cur
rent for public and private use. Such
a suggestion Is not worthy Of serious
consideration. The Board OF Water
Commissioners Is attending to too
much outside business now for the
good of the water consumers, and the
scope OF its operations should be mar
rowed instead OF enlarged. The Street
and Sewer Department is doing just az
good work as any other department
considering the means at its command
and the expensive character OF the
work which II performs. Mr. Warner
knows that. He also knows
that the public electric light p,ant
is mere blum to fcol mem
ibers OF the General Assembly who will
have to vote on the Pyle water bill

tion seriously considered? It woul,

tory their franchises, They would in

at Dover that IL would be practlcal,!
irresistible. That they are quiescen

even n Y were sincere, the water con
sumers are not going to sit idle AM

bought and paid for, to be converte0

There is no good reason, partisan or
otherwise, why the act in relation TO
municipal elections in the city Of Will
mington should not become a law. At
the general election in 1898, 1876 cleo
tion inspectors were required. OF this
number 100 were recommended by the
Republican committees jointly. There
were 65 election districts, of which 35
had Democratic majoritles in the
board, and 30 had Republican majori-
ties. This bin provides that these
same officers shan conduct the revi-
sion OF registration and city election,
and leaves the election districts the
same as they were in 1898 The same
registration books will be used, thus
qualifying about 14.OOO voters and only
these who have come Of age, or come
into the city will have to go to the
trouble OF registering For the con-
venience OF those who have moved
from one district to another since No
vem6er 8, the Department Of Elections
will sit in April to transfer the names
from one book to the other, red ink
being used TO designate such transfers
This is certainly as fair as the mos
captious Republican or Democrat
could wish. 1t is really a codifcatior
