APRIL FOOL.
Montana Men Take Possession
of the Property.

With the payment of s75, 900 through
the banking-house of Wells, Fargo &
Co., in Salt Lake City on the 25th ult.,
the sutire property of the April Fool
Mining company at Delamar, Nevada,
passed into the hands of A. n. Whathey
of Butte, Mont, and others, says the
Salt Lake Tribune. During the last
and most interesting, perhaps, OF the
several acts In the transaction, there
were present Mr.. Whethey and Hon.
William Thompson, former Mayor OF
Butte, of the purchasing crowd
Frank Wilson, the principal owner and
one Of the original locators of the April
Fool group, with Judge Henry Rives,
his attorney, and F. S. God be, who was
largely instrumental in the promotion
of the deal. The balance OF the money,
which swelled the total to Sl00, 900 turn
ed over to Mr.. Wilson, the stock which
had been in escrow ct the bank was
surrendered to the purchasers, who
proceeded to reorganze the board of
directors, while Wilson sought the
train, whistling bar from The Girl
Left Behind Me. - He was ticketes
for Nevada, and joining his wife and
children, will return at once to Salt
Lake City.
In the reorganization OF the board
William Thompson was made president,
Clarence K. Mccormick OF this city,
vice-president, and A. H. Wethey,
secretary and treasurer. With these
officers, F. S. Godbe and j. Benton
LeggGt constitute the board of direc-
tors.
AT the same election Frank L. Sizer
OF Butte, was made consulting engineer,
and James NJ. Hssly, general manager
of the mine aud mill
The official roster having bsen pro-
yided for, the directors then proceeded
TO open a dividend column and posted
No. under the present ownership in
the sum of $4,000, the amount to have
bsan distributed on August lst
Discussing the future OF the PROPOSE
tion, Mr.. Wethey said the manage
ment would at once equip 1t with com
petent machinery, and double the ca
pacity of the mill. Explorations under
the option have peen, he added, with
most gratifying results. New ground
has been opened, the volume Of ore ma
terially increased, aad he had the as

AUTHORITIES IN WASHINGTON.
Washington. Aug 23.-The State Department
has been informed through diplomatic channel
that General Otis has applied the chinese ex-
clusion laws to the Philippines. The irforma-
ton was surprise 70 the authorities here. both
State and military. as the matter has been Under
consideration for some time. md it was not
known that General Otis had put the exclusion
laws IN force The first intimation came in
dispatch received a few days ago from the
Chinese Consul at Manila, telling the Chinese
Legation here that the exclusion laws against
Chinese had been applied 20 the Philippines The
dispatch was brought to the attention Of the
State Department. and inquiry made as to- how
the action was brought about as the Chinese
Government has been most solicitous. since
American military control established in
the Philippines that the United States exclusion
laws should not be extended over the Islands
The State Department knew nothing Of such an
extension. and made inquiry Of the War Depart
rnent The military authorities. however. were
equally without information as TO General Ots's
course.
Accordingly. the Chinese officials were ad-
vised that any action taken by General Otis in
annIving the exclusion laws TO the Philippines
was not the result OF instructions sent from
Washington but was doubtless due 10 the exer-
else OF mis- authority as Governor General OF
the Philippines What further step the chinese
authorities will take has not been determined
as Minister WI Ting Fang is out OF the city FOR
a few days There IS little doubt. however
that he will seek 10 have General Otis's order
held in abeyance until the authorities here pass
on the general question, which has been under
consideration between the two governments.
The State Department has received an impor-
tant letter from Mr. Williams. formerly Consul
al Manila who still remains there In confden-
tial capacity He says the native Filioinos are
strongly opposed 70 Chinese labor. and in his
opinion the exclusion OF the Chinese from the
islands would aid materially in bringing the
war 10 close. He places the Chinese popula-
ton at 81. 600. which is considerably more than
other estimates from official sources The let
ter is dated July &c. and brings the situation
up 10 a recent date. IL has been turned over 10

CUBAN SOLDIERS KILLED.
FIGHT OVER THE PAYMENT OF EX-IN-
SURGENTS NEAR SANTIAGO.
FIVE MEN DEAD AND TEN WOUNDED
TROUBLE CAUSED BY THE
FAULTY LISTS.

Santiago de Cuba. Aug. 23.-Five men are
dead and ten wounded as the re ult Of a fight
last night between gendarmes and disappointed
Cuban soldiers at Cuevitas three miles from
Santiago. where the payment Of the Cuban
troops is being made. Five thousand Cubans
had gathered there 10 receive pay. and after
three days only $50 had been aid. Thousands
who had been disappointed at other points had
come to Cuevitas. as the last place Of payment
IN the province.
The imperfect lists cause great dissatisfaction.
and a rumor circulated yesterday that the pay
masters would leave Santiago to-day alarmed
the men who had not been paid. They began
10 collect IN groups and to show their annoy
ance Finally their threats became serious.
Captain Balat with twenty gendarmes was
present 10 preserve order among the applicants
and the United States troops protected Colonel
Moale the officer having charge OF the pay
rnents. Suddenly Captain Baliat who was
mounted, was surrounded by mob, struck by
stones and bottles and shot in the arm. His
men promptly fred a volley into the mob. three
persons being instantly killed and thirteen
wounded. two OF whom died this morning.
Colonel Moales guard promptly surrounded
the money office. but took part in the
fighting
For few minutes there was a lively con-
nict carbines and machetes being used freely.
Captain Baliat was the only gendarme wounded.
All the dead were colored Cuban soldiers
This morning payment was resumed under
heavy guard There rumors that force is
being organized TO attack the pay offce, but
these are probably unfounded-
General Castillo Civil Governor Of Santiago
de Cuba was at Cuevitas at the time, and soon
restored order
There is no doubt that the inaccurate list
will cause a great deal OF hardship. Many vet

ters for six weeks only TO find that their names
are not listed. General Leonard Wood. Military
