GENERAL LAWTON'S
BRILLIANT CAMPAIGN

vice Yesterday.
FOUR AMERICANS KILLED.

Manila, June II 2-General Law
toms campaign in the province of
Cavite has been characterized by
the brilliancy and dash which
marks all that officers movements.
The rebels were driven from
trench to trench. and from all of
the principal towns. Whenever
they made a stand they were beat
en- with heavy losses. The esti
mated loss of the natives is from
three to four hundred killed and
wounded, while the American loss
is officially reported as four killed
and thirty wounded.
The American troops suffered
severely from the heat. and num-
ber of men who were prostrated
from this cause were brought 10
Manila.
The Colorado troops, who did
gallant work with General Lawton
returned to Manila last night.
They were tired, ragged and hun
CRY, but happy over the result of
their work. The regulars under
General Lawton remain DIT Paran-
que and Lastimas.
The ease with which the rebels
slipped away from the Americans
is due to their thorough knowledge
of the country, and to the trick
they have of concealing their arms
and slipping into white clothes
which the peaceable natives wear.

night. The committees reported
and after some consideration of
the matter decided to send another
committee out to confer further
with Mr.. Ridgway. A recess was
taken and the committee, consist
ing of Messrs. Ruby, Robinson
and Champion, waited on Mr..
Ridgway Immediately upon the
return of these gentlemen the

wasn't much to report. Supt.
Ridgway was unable to say what
was expected of Florence, and the
committee WIS unable to say what
Inducements Florence could offer.
The committee reported to this
effect. and after further considera-
lion it was decided that critical
point was reached and that it was
time to take decided action. Up
on motion it was decided to send
a committee to Denver to confer
with the +. d G. @. directors, and
empowered it to promise anything
that the company might ask. The
committee consisted of Mayor Nc
Guire, Thos. Robinson, j. W.
Work and S. +. Rathvon.

nothing unfavorable in his report.

Mr.. Mcclure was informed that
no Immediate action would be
taken, but that the question of ter
minal facilities was being consid-
cred and that in the near future
the matter would have to be set
tied. Mr.. Mcclure was assured
that Florence would be kept in

The Canon City Tragedy.

The bodies of Mrs. Lewis and
her daughter who were murdered
by the latter's husband, Sam
Roberts, at Canon Saturday even
ing, will be sent back to Kansas
for interment. Roberts will be
buried at Canon. No inquest will
be held.
There is considerable discussion
as to whether Roberts was drink
ing man or not. Some men who
have known him longest say that
while he was lazy, worthless
man he was not addicted to drink
ing.
The tragedy arose out of family
trouble. Mrs. Roberts was horri-
bly, ill treated by her husband,
and it was her half-starved condi-
ton that caused the death of their
child by starvation. After the
child died she left her husband
and returned to her parents.
Roberts tried to persuade his wife
to return with him and it was her
refusal to do SO that led up to the
double murder and suicide.
