Washington, May p The last move

with Spain occurred Monday, when Sec
rotary Hay paid to the French ambas-
sador, NJ. Cambon, the 100000 pro-
vided by the treaty of peace for the ces-

was made in four treasury warrants of
$5,000,000 each, and was receipted for
by NJ. Cambon as completely liquidating
the obligation of the United States in
this connection. The ambassador de-
posted the $20,0oo,oo0 in the Riggs ma

BEHEADED BEFORE DEAD.
Details of the Horrible Cruelties OF
the Samoan Rebels-The Bat
tie of April IS.

Auckland, New Zealand, April u.s.
Particulars of the fighting in Samoa,
contained in the advices received here

that the battle between the friendly
natives and the rebels took place at
Vallejo and that the latter lost 100 men
in killed and wounded.

Afghan was beheaded before he was
dead. A deserter from the Mataafan
forces says Monaghan and Lansdale
were retreating when they were dis
covered by chief and his wife who
were looking for dead men. They gave
the alarm and Monaghan was shot
while continuing the retreat. Later, it
appears, the rebels returned and killed
Lansdale. Monaghan fought until he
was wounded and he was then be-
headed.

BIG PLANT WRECKED.
Serious Outcome of Labor Troubles in
Idaho-$25O, 900 Property Destroyed
One Man Killed.

Boise Idaho, May 1.-The trouble be-
tween union and nonunion miners at
Wardner, which has been brewing
there some time, eliminated Saturday
in 600 men attacking the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mine and mill, blowing up
the mill with dynamite, and killing one
man and wounding many others.
Property worth $250,000 was destroyed.
The damage was done by union miners
and sympathizers from Canyon creek,
about 20 miles from Wardner.
Saturday morning a mob of from 800
to 1000 men, all of them armed and
many of them masked, seized train
at Burke, the head of Canyon creek.
There were nine box cars and pas
senger coach and they were black with
the mob The visitors brought with
them 1900 pounds of giant powder.
After a parley of two hours 140 masked
men armed with rifles, Burke miners
in the lead and Wardner following,
started with yells for the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mill and other buildings
a third of a mile from the depot.
They sent out pickets ahead and one
of the pickets fired shot as signal
that the mill was abandoned. This was
misunderstood by the main body of the
mob, who imagined that nonunion
miners in the hills had opened fire
on them. and they began to fire upon
their own pickets. About 1000 shots
were thus exchanged between the riot
ers and their pickets, and Jack Smith,
one of the pickets, formerly of British
Columbia, and a noted figure in drill
contests, was shot dead. The fatal err
ror was discovered after few sec
onds' firing, and Smiths body was
brought down from the hillside.
By this time the strikers had taken
possession of the Bunker Hill and Sui
livan mill, which they found deserted,
the manager having directed his en-
ployes not to risk their lives by bat
Ting with the mob. Powder was called
for and 60 50-pound boxes were carried
from the depot to the mill. The heaviest
charge was placed under the brick Of
fee building. Other charges were
placed around the mill. Then the
boarding house, a frame structure, was
burned.
Fuses leading to the charges were
lighted and the strikers, carrying the
dead body of the picket, retired to
safe distance. At 1886 p. m. the first
blast went off 1t shook the ground for
miles, and buildings in Wardner, two
miles away, trembled. At intervals of
about 60 seconds four other charges
went off, the fifth being the largest,
and completely demolished the mine.
The loss to the Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van company is estimated at from $780,
600 to $500, 600. In few minutes the
strikers went back to the station, the
whistle was blown for stragglers, the
mob climbed aboard, and at three
o'clock, just three hours after its ar
rival, the train hauled out for Canyon
Greek.
