LIE WELLYN ON
WITNESS STAND
Major of Rough Riders
for Prosecution.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HILLSBORO, N. Mex, June SIN the
Fountain murder trial, Major w. H. H.
Llewellyn of Torrey's Rough Riders and
former Speaker of the Territorial House
of Representatives, was put on the wit
ness stand for the prosecution this morn
ing He directed the investigation of the
Fountain murder case.
Colonel Fountain was my personal
friend, and 1 never knew more affec-
Tomato family than his" he said Il was
requested to organize a searching party
and found the abandoned blackboard. We
followed the trail of five horses from
there to Colonel Fountains last camp,
where we found blood and the prints of a
child's right shoe. We followed the trail
of five horses until it was obliterated by
a herd of Lees cat1e being driven toward
his ranch. On the other side of this herd
was a man riding away very fast. Men
measured boot tracks about the spot
where blood was found. One showed the
bootheel badly run over on one side and
its counterpart was easy to recognize
later when 1 found it on the adobe roof
of Oliver Lees house. l also recognized
the track made by William McNew, in
Las Cruces, later, as one about the blood
in camp. In this camp was Colonel Foun-
tain's valise, containing copies of indict-
ments recently found under his prosecu-
ton, which had been looked through"
After relating the details of the search
Major Llewellyn said he thought one
horses track leading away from the scene
of the bloodshed was the same as one 60
ing to Lees ranch.
The Fountain murder trial was delayed
this afternoon and evening by the illness
of Major Llewellyn, who was taken sick
at noon just after the direct examina-
ton was finished, and so far he has been
unable to go on the stand. His physician
says the trouble is temporary and that
he will be able to submit to Attorney
Falls cross-examination tomorrow morn
ing This feature of the trial has been
looked forward to since the beginning, Fall
and Llewellyn having been bitter political
enemies for years.

INSURRECTION TO BE
CRUSHED BY FORCE

NEW YORK, June 5.-The Herald s
Washington correspondent sends the
following: President Schurman of the
Philippine Commission, in dispatch to
Secretary Hay, has, it is said, recon-
mended more liberal concessions to the
Filipinos with view to ending the in
surrection at once. An official &C
quainted with the message said it re
viewed the situation on the islands and
was of an encouraging nature.
The dispatch was considered yester-
day by the President and Secretary
Hay and the President has sent re-
ply. The nature of the answer is not
divulged 1t is significant, however,
that coincident with this message to
Mr.. Schurman a cablegram was sent to
General Otis with instructions in line
with the Presidents belief that the
restoration of peace can be accom-
plished only by the complete subjuga-
ton of the Filipinos. General Otis will
continue his military operations
throughout the rainy season.
1t is apparent the President does not
look for the close of the rebellion until
the Filipinos are convinced of the mill
tary superiority of the United States.
The concessions already offered are
liberal, the administration believes, and
as far as the President can go without
authority from Congress, and it is
doubtful if the new propositions made
by the commission have received his
approval.

BULLET SPED To
AVENGE A WRONG
San Jose Gardener At
tempts Murder.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, June 5.-An attempted muir
der, followed by suicide was made by
Paulo Arata, vegetable gardener, in the
Office of the ST. Charles Hotel, on North
Market street, this afternoon. AS result
the body of Arata is lying on a slab in
the Morgue, and Captain E. G. Zeiro. a
prominent member of the Italian colony,
is suffering from a pistol wound In the
jaw. How Zeiro escaped instant death
is hard TO understand.
The attempted murder and self-destruc-
ton were premeditated and grew out of
a money transaction. Arata was formerly
d vegetable dealer at Los Gatos and New
Almaden. He claimed that nine years ago
he entrusted $500 to Zeiro for investment.
The latter never returned the money al
though he had repeatedly asked for it.
A few months ago Arata, VINO was SUI
fering from consumption, moved into
town and with his wife and children lived
at ; Cahill street, near the narrow gauge
depot. Since then he had haunted Zeiro' S
office and demanded the money.
day Arata walked into Zeiro's office.
Zeiro was at his desk. Arata again de-
man ded his money. AS Zeiro closed his
desk and was about TO leave the room
Arata drew a pistol and threatened TO
Kill him. Zero grappied With his assail-
ant. The weapon, 44-caliber British
bulldog, was discharged, the ball enter
of the lobe of the ear, and, glancing down
ward fractured the jaw. The man fell
and then arose and rushed II to the street,
bleeding profusely. Arata then swallowed
some poison and sat down to await death.
Tie police found him seated in chair.
He was in a stupor and refused to talk.
Arata was removed to the Receiving Hos
pital and on the way there attempted to
swallow the remaining contents of vial.
He sank into Inconsistencies and died an
hour later.
a search of Arata's pockets revealed a
memorandum book. containing the follow
ing short statement, showing the tragedy
had been planned:

OLYMPIA WILL SAIL
FROM H0NGK0NG TO-DAY

HONGKONG, June 5. - Admiral
Dewey left the Peak Hotel and re-
turned to the Olympia yesterday This
morning he paid farewell calls to. the
Governor, General Gasoigne and the
commanders of the warships in the
harbor.
Admiral Dewey's health has been
considerably benefited by his residence
at the Peak. He has refused all social
invitations and has taken a perfect
rest. He appears somewhat haggard
from the effects of the continual strain
he has been under and of the climate.
The Olympia will sail at 4 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, but Admiral Dewey
will not give a farewell dinner nor
will he accept one. IT is hoped the
quiet change and the voyage will quite
restore him to health by the time he
reaches New York. The details of the
ports at which he will call are still I'M
decided but it is probable stops will
be made at Singapore and Colombo.
The admiral seems anxious to avoid all
display and merely to seek rest. His
officers and crew are elated at the pros
pect of a return home
