South American Indians Perpetrate Dta

Washington. The department OF
state has been informed by our minis
ter at La Paz, Bolivia, under date OF
March 30, 1899, that on May /, Col.
Pando sent from his army at Siacsica
1870 men, commanded by Arturo Egu1-
no, to Ayopaya, there to confer with
Mr.. Orellma as to the best means OF
simultaneously attacking Chocha-
bomba.
On arriving at the town of Moho-
"a, Eguino demanded loan of 900
bolivars from the priest of the town
and 100 bolivars from the mayor.
These demands being refused the
priests and mayor were imprisoned.
Meanwhile, however, the priest has
dispatched a courier to the villages,
asking that the natives attack Pando's 8
men.
A large crowd of Indians came, and
in spite of all measures taken to paclfy
them the arms of the soldiers were TAX
en- away, the men subjected to revolt
ing treatment and finally locked inside
the church for the night. In the morn
ing, the priest, after celebrating the
so-called "1nass of agony, allowed the
Indians to take out the unfortunate
victims two by two and 103 were delib-
erately murdered each pair by different
tortures. Seventeen escaped death by
having departed the day previous on
another mission.
Each day brings news of risings of
the Indians in different sections of the
northern part of the country.
A large party of whites arrived at
La Paz, fleeing from the Indians.

offered a purse of $40, 900 not $50, 1000,

A representative of the club is now on

Charleston, S. C.-The burning of
Gen. Wade Hampton's home at Mill
wood, near Columbia, last week has
excited warm sympathy throughout
the state, and conference has already
been had here to take immediate steps
toward replacing the burned structure.
The sentiment of regard for Gen.
Hampton is universal throughout the
state, and it appears that the desire
that it shall take practical shape is not
confined to Charleston. A considerable
sum has been raised in Darlington
town and probably every county in the
state will follow Darlington's exam
pie in less than week.

FATAL INFATUATlON.
Murder and Suicide in Preference to Sep
aration.

Stockton, GAIA peculiar tragedy
came to light here Friday, when the
bodies Of Mrs William Hickman and
Mrs H A Hassau, clasped in loving
embrace, both dead, were found in a
room of lodging house, a bullet hav-
ing ended the life Of each. Mrs. Has
sail had been m0rbidly infatuated with
Mrs Hickman for some months. Thurs
day night Mrs Hassal told Mrs. Hick
man that she was going to start for
London Friday and begged Mrs. Hick-
man to spend the night with her. Mrs.
Hickman consented, and her relatives,
growing alarmed at her non-appear-
ance, visited the lodging house and dis
covered the bodies Mrs. Hassall had
killed Mrs. Hickman and then herself.
Mrs HassaIl came from London, Eng
land and called herself the Duchess,
claiming that her husband is a duke.
She became so madly infatuated with
Mrs Hickman that her husband left
her but the couple were about to be
recOnciled. Mr.. Hassall is the chief
ranger of the Order of Foresters in this
city, and was supposed to be well-tO-do,
but he has been a waiter in a restau-
rant for some time.
Medical men are of the opinion that
Mrs Hassall was insane. The case is
similar to one which occurred at Mem
phis a few years ago.
