Six Prospectors Arrive From the
Sierra Pintada Mines, Bringing
Eighty Ounces of Dust and
Nuggets.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO, June 4.-The telegraph
line between this city and Ensenada
has been repaired after having been
down three days, and additional reports
concerning the Sierra Pintada placers
are being received, though no news has
come direct from the diggings since
May 81. Six prospectors, who went to
Sierra Pintada from San Quintin, have
returned, bringing eighty ounces of gold
dust and nuggets. They sailed again
for the mines to-day from San Quintin
with their families, on the steamer St.
Denis, which called at that place to
leave mail. The St Denis, which left
here on Friday night, got away from
Ensenada for San Rogue, landing yes
terday early in the afternoon, having
special custom house permit. In addi
tion to the sixtysiX passengers for the
mines, taken from San Diego, the
steamer took on seventy more at En-
senada, besides thirty burros, eight tons
of provisions and twenty drywashers.
Ensenada is in a fever of excitement
over the mines, from which not one un-
favorable word has been received.
Twenty persons who were unable To
engage passage on the st. Denis yes
terday will make the trip to the placers
overland. 1t will occupy fifteen days.
The st. Denis will reach San Rogue on
Tuesday and her passengers will arrive
at the diggings the same night or early
the next day.
The schooner Anita, which sailed from
here last Monday, was delayed at En-
senada, all Of her cargo having to be
inspected. She sailed from Ensenada
yesterday afternoon and will reach San
Rogue Landing about Wednesday.
The schooner Thomas S. Negus will
sail from here with fifty-six passengers
on Tuesday afternoon.

the Insular Commission, which submit
ted its report a few days ago. is devils
ing a scheme of municipal government
for Porto Rico and a new system of
taxation for the island. A member of
commission with whom 1 talked day
told me that, judging from his observa-
tion of the inhabitants of Porto Rico,
they were not fit yet for self-govern-
ment.
Porto Rico" he said, should be-
come to the United States what
Canada is to Great Britain. There
are sixty-eight municipalities on the
island. 1t seems to me a good way to
commence the extension of self-govern-
ment would be to take two of the more
important of the municipalities and
Mayaguese and under a system of suf-
frage, with an educational test, permit
them to govern themselves. If the plan
worked satisfactorily, extend the sys-

pie of the island would be prepared to
govern it.

The commission proposes to tax land

All money raised by taxation in Porto

part of the Government to divert the
funds so raised to national uses.

FLOGGED TO DEATH
Tied co a Stake by His Tribesmen and

GUTHRIE. o. T., June 4.-There was
much excitement among the Indians at
Sans Bois, I. T., yesterday, when at dusk
John Mays, a Choctaw, was publicly
fiogged to death.
The punishment inflicted on Mays was
for cattle stealing and was in accordance
with an old Choctaw law, which provides
for the giving of 100 lashes on the bare
back of any member of the tribe found
guilty of cattle stealing. If an Indian
withstands the severe punishment meted
out to him in 100 lashes he is given free
dom. but few have lived through half
this punishment
When the fiftieth stroke was applied
Mays made frantic efforts to wrench him
from the streaks of flesh on his back.
AS the SEVENTEEN lash was given he col
lapsed and lay limp at the stake. He was
at att the eighty-sixth it was found he was was

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, June A.
Warden Hale has at last found the exam
ple set by the worm consol1ng, also 10
the recipient of a gold brick, and accord
ingly has turned on his tormentor, Gov
ernor Gage. 1t took the Warden a good
deal longer than it did the general public
to discover that he had been fooled,
which might have been due to the fact
that the general public, being entirely
disinterested. had the Governor pretty
we'll "sized up long before the late Leg
islature adjourned But sad experience has
at last pulled the wool from Mr.. Hale's
ewes. and the proverbial wet hen is not in
it with him for Indignation.
Hale made hard fight to retain his po-
sition as the head of the prison, but when
Director Fitzgerald was whipped into the
line marked down by the Burns-Gage duo
and Director Hayes concluded that a res
ignation would be hasty and not render
Hale any material assistance, the Warden
threw UP his hands and quit the game
Not all hope died in his breast, however.
for only a short time later he visited Gage
and was set at work studying French
preparatory to being appointed one of the
State Commissioners to the Paris EXPOSE
ton.
he used to recount it with gusto both at
clubs and at private dinners. The "joke"
reached The Call and Hale was warned
that ne was up against II, Dut his trust
did not waver. When the three appoint
ments were finally made public the War
den was dumfounded but his anger soon
caused him to study how to "get even"
He has found way by snubbing the new
Warden.
1t was agreed at the last meeting of
the Prison Directors here that Hale
should take Aguirre in hand and make
him acquainted with the inner workings
of the prison a month before he took the
position. Now Hale refused to do this,
and has notified Gage that he is not hired
by the State to "break in new Wardens" 3"
congratulatory telegram sent Aguirre
by Hale stated that if the latter would
visit San Quentin few days before he
took charge he would be coached as re-
CARDS his duties. This message was a sur
prise to Aguirre and the first intimation
Gage had of Hale sulking.
]. c. Edgar has developed strong de-
sire to retain his position as captain of
the yard on account of his enmlty for
Captain of the Guards Birlem, but the in
dications are that he will have to go. To
add to his wrath it is probable Captain
Birlem will receive the POSITION Edgar
now holds on account of the favorite's S
greater experience, in order to make room
for Under Sheriff Mcclure of Los Ange-
les, whom Aguirre will bring with him to
the prison. AS Mcclure has resigned a
5000 position, it is evident that one of the
captaincies is meant for him.
