Lschiel last Monday morning b,
deputy sheriff Harry E..rrison an,
U. s. Customs Inspector Capt. Hatha
way, who brought their man 70 No
gales and turned him over to Sheriff
Barnett.
The preliminary hearing took place
in Justice Duffy's court on Wsinesday
and the prisoner was bound ovel
without bail.
There is not the slightest doubt n.
to the identity of the prisoner, who
was identified by number of fellow.
workers who knew him and were eye.
witnesses to the cutting which caused
Shepard's death.
The story of the killing was told in
THR VIDETTE when it occurred and
from tho evidence given at the pre-
liminary trial Wednesday it was a
true account.
On the morning of December IL, last,
Mr.. Shepard, who was foreman of a
fence building gang, had some trouble
with one Luis Chavez a laborer, who
asked for his discharge and fifty cents
due him Cor labor. Mr. Shepard gave
him his time check and said he had no
money with which to pay-that not
being his business. Chavez then told
the foreman that if he did not pay
him then and there lie (Shepard)
would never leave the camp. The
foreman was in his car at the time
and Chavez was at the door and tried
to get into the car. Shepard again
told the man he could not pay that
which he did not have and attempted
to jump from his car when Chavez
stabbed him in the side with big
knife which he had concealed under
his blanket. Mr.. Shepard was placed
on hand car and taken to Crittenden
whers he died at CLIO o'clock in the
evening.
The Murderer made straight for the
international line and escaped the
officers who were in persuit Some
time ago he was seen at Lochiel on
the Mexican side of the border by
Captaia Hathaway of the U. s. Gus
toms service and deputy sheriff Harry
Harrison, and last Monday morning
they saw Chavez cross the line
and enter a Chinese store. This was
what the officers had been waiting for
and no time was lost in surroun ding
the place. Capt Hathaway stationed
himself at the front door and when
Chavez came out he was covered and
told in Spanish to throw up his hands,
which command he did not obey, but !
continued to advance toward the |
officer Then the captain commanded |
him i'll English to put up his hands or
take the consequences. While the
negro was not willing to throw up his
hands he drop ed ON both knees and
to having the bracelets put
OH. The officers brought their man
to Nocales and as has been stated !
above he was given preliminary |
hearing and held to await the action
of the grand jury.
The eviden g produced at the trial
Wednesday was sufficient to hang a
dozen men and it is oaly matter OF
time when Luis Chavez will pay the |
penalty of his awful crime and poor
will be avenged.
Assistant Manager Nauele, Super.
intendent Montague, and in fact all
the 'scials of the railroad as we'll as
their employees deserve great credit for
the interest they are taking in con-
victing the murderer of Shepard.

! GERMAN OFFICERS VIEW,
CERVERA'S ERROR WAS GOING
OUT IN DAYLIGHT.
Admiral Sampson's Fleet Was
Fully Conscious of Its
Power.

WASHINGTON, April g The Ri
reau of Naval Intelligence of the Navy
Department has issued the last of the
series of sketches of the Spanish Amer
lean War by Commander jacobson of
the German protected cruiser Geir. The
last Of this in one series deals with
the condition OF the Spanish ships after
the battle OF Santiago This portion of
the sketches contains a number of OBJ
servations regarding the technical ef-
feet of our gun fire, which will interest
naval officers. The most interesting
observations to- the series are those
upon the strategy, or lack Of il dis
played by Cervera in deciding to go out
in broad daylight. THE whole crew"
he says, fell a victim to this fatal de-
cision. Instructions for the sortie and
the western course were issued The
Admiral was entirely convinced of the
impossibility of defeating the enemy or
of reaching another Cuban harbor. even
if he should succeed in steaning right
through the hostile fleet. 1t is to this
feeling of helplessness and impotence
as against the American forces more
than to anything else that / am able
to ascribe the American victory.
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet was fully
conscious OF its power. The blockade
was being conducted in accordance with
carefully prepared plans, as were also
the arrangements in case of the en-
emy's attempt to escape. FREQUENT en-
gagements with the Spanish forts had

AS COALING STATIONS
The Samoan Islands Are More I'm
portant Than for Commerce.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The peo-
pie, productions and commercial and
strategic Importance of the Samoan
Islands are discussed in a publication
just issued by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics. The islands lie in an al
most direct line between San Francisco
and Australia and slightly south of the
direct steamship line connecting the
Philippines with the proposed Panama
or Nicaraguan inter-ccean canals. Their
special. Importance therefore, it is stat
ed, lies more in their position as coal
ing and repair stations on these great
highways of commerce rather than in
their direct commercial value, their
population being small and their i'm
ports and exports of comparatively lit
tie importance.
The group consists of ten inhabited
and two uninhabitted islands, with an
area of LOO square miles and an ag-
gregate population, according to lat
est estimates, of $4,000 people, of
which something over 200 are British
subjects; 125 Germans, % Americans;
70 French, and % of other nationali-
ties. while the remainder are natives Of
the PolyneSian race. The bulk of the
population is located in the three ISL
ands of Upolou, Savaii and Tutuila. the
number in Upolou being 16,60O; in
Savaii 125OO, and in Tutuila, which
contains the harbor of Pago- -Pago. ced-
ed to the United States in 1873 for a
naval and coaling station, 3,10O The
islands are of volcanic origin, but fer
tile, producing cocanuts, cotton, sugar
and coffee; the most important, how
ever, being cocoanuts, from which the
''copra'' of commerce is obtained by
drying the kernel of thecocoanut. The
expectation of copra from the islands
in 1896 amounted to II, 565 900 pounds.
valued at S231, ,372. A considera Bile
proportion of this was exported to the
United States and larger proportion
to Germany, whose citizens control its
commerce through a trading company
which has long been established there.
In 1896 the imports were S3O4, 159. of
which S41,55 came from the United
States, $4S, ,S02 from Germany. Sl7S. .S57
from the Australasian colonies. 81. .O44
from Great Britain, and S21 ,9O4 from
other countries
The exports in 1896 were S263. .O47. of
which $231. .372 was copra.
