COWBOYS KILL
FOUR MEX|CANS
Bloody Encounter in a
Border Town.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

Ell PASO, Tex, Oct. 22-As the result
Of desperate and bloody encounter be-
tween a number of Mexicans and cowboys
at Naco, Ariz., a small border town, this
afternoon, four MeXicans are dead and
one seriously wounded. An American
named Ryan was killed almost instantly.
his body being riddled with bullets, and a
miner from Bisbee, whose name could not
be learned, was shot through the leg and
is mortally wounded. An American by
stander was also wounded.
There had been a great Jollihcation at
Naco over the baseball game between the
local team and the nine representing BIS
bee. A crowd OF MeXicans and cowboys
were celebrating the event at small can
teen on the Mexican side, when an alter
cation arose and a fight started. The Mex
lean guards undertook to arrest the
Americans, who started to cross the line
to the States. When the Americans
reached the line the MeXicans opened fire.
The Americans, who were heavily armed, 6.o
returned the fire, and over fifty shots were
exchanged. A train bearing over oOO eX7
cursionists. including many women ana
children, who were in immediate danger,
was leaving the station, when several OF
the cars were struck and the glass in sew
eral windows shattered. The cowboys on
the Arizona side of the line Immediately
went to the aid of their friends who were
line
While the fighting was at its height Dan
Burgess, an innocent party, attempted TO
cross from store to the train, and was
shot in the leg. Several Of his friends
rushed to his aid, but they were driven
back under a heavy fire, which whistled
over the cars in which were the scream
ing women and children. An American
named Montgomery who was with Ryan
when he fell, is still missing. Joe Rhodes,
an American cowboy, was arrested by the
Mexicans and placed in jail. His friends,
learning of the arrest, made an effort to
release him, but the Mexican guards re-
pulsed their attacks.
The greatest excitement prevails at
Naco tonight, and an armed posse will
counter. The outlook is exceedingly seri-
Gus, and further bIoodshed is expected.
Fifteen Mexican officers and ten cowboys
were engaged In the fight. To-day s
trouble was the outcome of the recent
daring raid made by Arizona cowboys on
the Naco Mexican jail to release ten of
their companions.

BECHUANALAND NOT
INVADED BY BOERS

LONDON. Oct 22.-The latest dis
patches received to-day do not indicate
any incursion of Beers as yet into Bechu-
analand. Along the Orange River every
thing seems to be quiet. From Colesburg,
Cape Colony, it is reported that all the
available burghers of the Orange Free
State have been sent north and west.
On the other hand, a messenger from
Aliwal north reports that a large body
of Beers is advancing toward the Orange
River. Refugees are leaving that town
in great numbers daily. The Beers have
mounted a krupp gun, on bridge COM
manding the most thickly populated part.
Advices from Cape Town say that a
wholesome fear Of a rising in Basuto-
land prevents the Beers invading Cape
Colony, and that on the other hand there
is considerable excitement at Masuru and
other Basuto stations, arising from ma
tive apprehensions of Boer attacks.
1t appears that colonial news is IN some
mysterious way supplied to the Beers,
and that their movements depend largely
upon intelligence communicated through
natives. Disquieting news comes from
Herschell and other points in Cape Col
ony, where the natives are much eX-
cited.

BOERS LOST TWELVE GUNS

LONDON. Oct. 22-The Daily Tele-

Their Melnite shells were a failure, and
few of them burst. The Eighteenth Hus-
sars our mounted infantry and batteries
pursued the flying enemy, the hdssars

the hussars lost a number of men.
Reports brought by the natives allege
that the Beers at Glands Laagte are
maltreating them. Price, a buffet keeper

MAY DEMAND THAT
ENGLAND ARBITRATE

NEW YORK, Oct PA Journal special
from Washington says: A hostile dem
onstration against Great Britain in the
diplomatic field is expected soon. State
Department officials read with interest
to-day's news from the various European
centers indicating the restiveness of Ger
many and France and the probability
that mediation by Germany will be asked
by President Kruger after few fights in
South Africa. 1t is believed here that in
such an event Germany will have not only
the moral support of France Russia,
Italy Belgium and Holland, but the ma
terial aid Of those nations in the pre-
sentation of a demand for the cessation
Of hosulities and the adjustment of the
South African difficulty by arbitration
The United States, it may be authori-
tati,vely stated, will not participate in any
such move.
State Department officials believe this
is the beginning of a general European
crisis, that mediation by European
countries IS not disinterested and that a
friendly offer of mediation by the other
powers contemplates, if not forcible inter
vention. at least threat of forcible inter
Yention.

BARKLEY WEST HAS
BEEN SURRENDERED

CAPE TOWN. Oct. 2S,-It is rumored
here this morning that Barkley West,
Northwest Kimberley, has been sur
rendered TO the Beers without firing a
shot
sent to relieve Kimberley.
The news Of General Frenchs victory
at Glands Laagte has just been pub
lished here. 1t caused great enthusiasm.
The newspapers were quickly on the
streets with special editions and the peo-
pie left the churches in order to get the
details of the fighting.
Schiel, a former German officer, who
was leading a section Of the Beers in the
engagement at Glands Laagte, was taken
prisoner.
Dispatches received from the front re-
garding the capture of Glands Laagte
say the British wounded are now being
taken TO Ladysmith. Every care and at
tention are also being given to the Boer
wounded, VINO are being dispatched down
the country.

losses carried the main position with a

THE ground traversed by our troops
was rough and stony, and the capture Of
the position was fine feat of arms. The

severe losses on the enemy.
''It was highly important to strike a
severe blow, as the Orange Free State
forces are known to be concentrated
northwest of Ladysmith in considerable
strength The flank attack was gallantly
delivered by the Manchester Regiment,
the Gordon Highlanders and the Impe-

KIMBERLEY YET HOLDS
OUT AGAINST INVADERS

KIMBERLEY, Oct 20 (by dispatch

ENGLISHMEN ASSUME
SANGUINE ATTITUDE

LONDON. Oct 22-There IS no longer,
however, any apprehension of even the
expected initial success of the Beers. The
two victories already gained by the
British must have completely disillusion-
lied them of the idea they had gained
through the Majuba affair, and, looking
to the statements already circulated that
President Kruger himself was opposed to
sending the ultimatum, there is specula-
ton in some quarters that the Beers may
now sue for peace. At least it is con
stdered that all fears OF Dutch rising
in the British colonies may be set aside.
Much admiration has been excited by the
bravery shown by the Beers.

cupation must be hurried forward. The
appalling loss Of officers and men we have
sustained shows clearly that we have
stiff work before us. The army corps will
have ample work to do
The second British victory, that at
Glands Laagte. in which the British
losses, though heavy, were not out Of pro
Poi LiOil " llS Importance, may be re-
garded as having completely demoralized
the well laid but ineffectively executed
plans of the Beers. In the opinion of mil
itary critics it will tend to bring the war
to speedy conclusion.
General White, ii is hoped, may have
been able by this time to relieve Major
Yule a Glencoe thus enabling him to deal
with General Joubert's column as General
Symons and General French have already
done with the others.
There is still to be guarded against a
possible raid from the Drakenburg range
by Free State troops or from Vryheid
through Zululand. The British plan will
