ITALIAN MINERS SURRENDER.
Vice Consul Cuneo's Advice Followed
by His Countrymcn.

Lake City, Colo, March 20-Through
the diplomacy of DR.. Cuneo, Italian
vice consul. il is believed the trouble
with the striking italian miners at
Henson is practically settled without
resort to military force. Today Cuneo.
accompanied by Sheriff MacCray and
staff, the latter without arms, rode TO
Henson. where Cuneo made an ddress
10 the Italians, advising them to sur
render, which they did, and twenty
seven prisoners were brought TO Lake
City and placed in Jail. The arms
taken from the armory have not yet
been delivered, but the vice consul
hopes 90 .ecure them without much
trouble.
Censorship oven telegraph and
United States mail may involve Lake
City i'm national as well as interna-
tional trouble. The United States
mail was tied up for two hours. On
the train was DR.. CuneO, the Italian
vice consul, who is acting under in
structions, not only of the legation at
Washington, but on direct cable adj
vices from Baron de Fava. Cuneo's
kilograms were withheld, the censor
explains, only until they could be
translated by an outsider who thus be-
came aware of their contents before
the consul himself. The state. military
authorities disclaim all responsibility
i'm the matter. DR.. Cuneo says he will
refer the matter TO his government.

Fate OF "A Traitor.
Manila, Feb. 13.--(Via steamer.)-
The American, a daily paper published
here, says:
Elk Corporal John w. Hayes, OF
Company ID, First California volun-
teers, a traitor and deserter, has found
his just end. His body now lies in a
trench dug to bury the enemies OF his
country who fell in battle, with no slab
at his head, his name forever hated by
his own regiment. Hayes came with
his regiment to Manila. Last October
he married a Filipino and two days
later deserted to the insurgents line.
This was the last his regiment heard
or cared to hear about him until yes
terday, when burying the dead insur-
gents, they came across his dead body
riddled with bullets, with the clothes
of a first lieutenant of the insurgents.
The fate of DR.. Harry Young, sur
geon of the Utah battery, who was
murdered by the Filipinos, caused in
tense anger among the American
troops, and but for the efforts OF cool
headed officers some of the captured
insurgents would have Jared badly.
DR.. Young in some way got beyond the
lines near the watcrworks and was
captured by the insurgents. They
stripped off his clothes and cut him
and his horse in "a frightful manner.
The body was recovered and VIII be
sent to the United States.

THIS MAN is A MURDERER.
some Day He WIN Have To- Answer 70,
Ills Joke"

During the %stagnation of business last
winter John Tabor, a lad OF 10 in q
western city, was out OF work for
several months. He had no family ex-
cept an elder sister, who also was thrown
out of employment, says the Youths
Companion.
They suffered and starved together
until May, when the boy obtained an
offer of steady work from a newspaper
dealer. He was given, early on the first
morning, a bundle of weekly papers to
sell on the streets.
His employer eyed his shabby clothes
and lean, pale face suspiciously.
1.-THE papers are counted. They ought
to bring in 81" he said. AT noon hand
In either the money -or the papers or
you will be discharged. This is paying
work for an honest boy, but no cribbing
of pennies"
Young Tabor, q comrade told after
ward, gayly boosted that he would do
such a big business that tonight he and
his sister would have meat for supper,
the first time in months"
He set off, laughing, and crying his
papers. He had sold a few of them
when n young man on the front plat
form Of Z trolley car beckoned to him.
John ran alongside of the car, while
the purchaser took two of the papers
and fumbled in his pocket for tbs
change.
He pretended that he could not find
at, being amused at the boys painting
struggle to keep up with the car and his
eager, terrified face. That any one
should be so greedy for a few cents
seemed to him a ~stupendous joke. But
to John the loss of the few cents was the
loss of work for the summer.
The young man on the platform
jeered at him and called to his COM
panions to bet on the boy or the car In
The race. John was weak from want of
food. He ran on desperately for a
couple of blocks; then he tried 10 jump
on the car and fell. There was a hor-
rible. grinding sound. The car stopped
and behind it lay a mass of mangled,
dead flesh.
The passenger, white and trembling,
cried out, Il murdered him!' but ne
went on his way unframed. The law
cannot punish a cruel joke.
This man, it appeared, had been fond
of cruel jokes since his childhood, Of
telling malignant stories about his
friends and of torturing animals. The
law cannot reach these things in q
| household. There are many of us who
pamper our own malice and cruelty as
others make domestic pets of beasts OF
prey.
But the day generally comes when
the passion, like the beasts, turns to
read its owner or some more innocent
victim.

Garfield sustained burns all over his
person and will die, owing TO the guam

Weiss will recover. Both men were

Off in chunks from Garfield and all the
hair of his head was buhned off.
Citizens who had discovered the fire
were trying TO batter down the heavy
doors with billets Of wood when Mar
shall Stanton arrived with the key.
When he opened the door the flames
burst out in his face and he was also
painfully burned on the hands in try
ing to rescue the prisoners. John
Beacon, n fireman, also was badly
burned. Weiss was able to run out,
but Garfield was behind the door when
Stanton opened il and was got out
with difficulty.
