PEACE RESTORED.


Auckland. n. D., June s.-AdVices
from Ap:a, Samoa, under date of May
81, state that Malietoa and Tamasese
have visited the members OF the
Samoan commission on board the
United States transport Badger and
Mataafa visited them the following
day. Neither of them was recognized
as king.
Mataafa blamed the Europeans for
the trouble here. The commissioners
informed him that they had power to
establish a government with or with
out a king. Mataafa thought the
Samoans should have a king but ex-
pressed willingness to disarm his fol-
lowers and leave the matter in the
hands of the commission.
The natives are gaining confidence
and are freely submitting their griev-
ances to the commission. The natives
brought here from other islands at the
time OF the disturbances will be re-
turned to their homes and al. the war
ships will probably leave Samoa at an
early date.

KILLED BY TRAIN ROBBERS.
Sheriff Loses His Life In Bloody Battle
With Bandits.

Cheyenne, Wyo., June s.-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 sheriff's posse which has
been in pursuit since Sunday 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. The second bat
tie was fought at a point ten miles
farther north and in wilder country.
The robbers, being closely pressed,
made determined stand behind some
rocks in deep ravine, and when the
posse appeared 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 Casper, where he expired.
The bandits are surrounded by de-
termined posse, and if they are cap.
tured they will probably be lynched.

Just Marauding Bands.

Washington, June 10.-The conclu-
sion drawn by war department officials
concerning the condition in the Philip
pines given in the dispatches of Gen
eral Otis are that the insurgents are
little more than a marauding band,
which will continually decrease when
the men find that there is life and lib
erty under American government. The
people who are coming into the Ameri-
can lines asking protection are consid-
cred like those who sought protection

Sultan of Sulu Rebels.

Hongkong, June THE sultan of
Sulu, who, it was supposed, was fav-
orably disposed towards the United
States, now, it turns out, has imported
large quantity of arms from Singa-
pore via Sandaken, with a view to re-
sisting the Americans. These arms he
has stored on the island of Soasi, and
he is raising force of Sepoys at Singa-
pore. 1t is believed that the decision
of the sultan to fight the United States
is the result of Bray's mission to Sim
gapore in April.

FIGHT WITH BANDITS
OFFICERS AND TRAIN ROBBERS
HAVE A SKIRMISH.
In the Conflict the Guardians Of the Law
Come Out Second Best and the Out

HoIs-In-ths-WAII Region.

Cheyenne, Wyo., June7.-Sheriff os-
car Heistand of Natrona county, who
we At out with a posse of twelve men in
pursuit of the Union Pacific train dyna-
miters, has returned to Casper and re-
ports a brisk skirmish between his
posse and the robbers.
Sheriff Heistand and posse left at IL
a. M, and at p. m. overlook the fugi-
tives thirty miles north of Casper,
making for the Powder river country.
The robbers opened fire at a distance
of half mile and then retreated, shoot
ing at the officers as they ran. Sheriff
Heistand's horse was killed at the first
fire and he was left afoot. He walked
fifteen miles to sheep camp for new
horse and having no hopes of overtak-
ing the posse he returned to Casper.
Sheriff Hazen of Converse county,
who was with the posse, continued the
pursuit. The robbers are on good
horses and are armed with the latest
smokeless powder long range rifles.
1t is now certain they are part of the
Hole-in-the-Wall band of outlaws, who
have during the past three years robbed
banks, postofices and country stores in
South Dakota, Montana, Utah, Colo
RADIO and Wyoming.
They had thirty miles to travel from
the scene of the skirmish before reach
ing the Hole.in-the Wall region, an al
most inaccessible district lying along
the Big Horn mountains. Heretofore,
when the members of the band have
reached this rendezvous after commit
ting depredations pursuit has ceased. In
this chase they will be followed into
the fastness and fought to a finish.
The posse now closing in on them is
headed by the United States marshal,
sheriffs and officers of the Union Pa
citic detective department and no ex-
pense will be spared to effect their
capture and clean out the entire band.

his government that two companies of
troops sent short time ago to Port
Limon, near the Nicaraguan border,

The eighth saw the beginning of the

his balance after that round. Jeffries
began the round with a straight left
on the face that again brought the
blood out of his opponents mouth. The
Cornishman staggered against the
ropes, but came back for another facer.
There was fear in Fitzsimmons' corner

there was moment of the widest ex-

There was frantic effort to revive the

there was moment of sparring, and
the giant arms of the young Califor.

dropped to the floor, and the timers
called off the seconds that called ont
an old ring hero and heraled a new
one.
As soon as Fitzsimmons was carried
TO his corner the spectators crowded
over the benches and through the
ropes and the police had great diffi-

partisans of the Californian almost
went crazy and pandemonium reigned
for several seconds.
Fitz came to himself quickly and
Jetfries walked across to the defeated
champions corner and both shook
hands warmly. Judging from the ex-
preston on Fitzsimmon's face he did
not feel much disgruntled at his de-
feat.
