FOUGHTFOR THE FLAG
Fatal Shooting ARRAY Between
Americans and Mexicans.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-A special to the
Tribune from Guaymas, Mexico, says:
Washington's birthday a shooting af-
fray occurred at Pilares de TERRA, in
which three Americans and five Next
cans were killed. From accounts it ap-
pears a friendly feeling had existed at
Pilares, and in order TO do honor to
the United States, it was arranged on
Feb. p to raise the fiagS of the two
republics together on the Flagstaff.
The MeXicans had charge of the af-
fair, and raised the American flag
above the Mexican to the complete sat
isfaotiOn Ct the Americans But when
the Americans showed so much appre-
citation of the act, the MeXicans found
they had made a mistake, and decided
10 lower and rehoist the flag, with the
Mexican flag on top. Then the Ameri-
cans declared such a transaction would
be an insult to the United States flag.
superintendent DanfOrth told the
MeXicans they would have TO shoot him
before they could haul down the Amer
lean flag. 1t was held that the flags
Should have been hoisted properly in
the first place.
The Mexicans were about TO mob
Danforth when Charles Hogsett. who
was with the rough riders in Cuba. in
terpoSed with a six-shOOter in each
hand. Firing from both sides inme-
diately ensued, and Hog5ett was killed.
Captain Evans and Dick Rea, two other
Americans, were mOrtally wounded.
But the Americans held the flagpole,
and both flags fiOaIed through the day.
Five Mexicans We're killed, and the
dance which was to have followed was
a failure, as no Mexicans attended, and
there were less than half a dozen
Americans in condition for dancing.

in jail at Oriziba, Mexico, for about
ten months. on a charge of criminal
negligence in connection with the wreck

six months before the entiOn Of the
American authorities W. called TO the
case. Ambassador Clayton at once

imprisoned man.
Turner complained of the unneces-
sary delay in trying him, and was as
sured the case should have prompt at
tentiOn, but after several months and
before the time for the trial arrived he
died.
The legal difficulties in Mexico, it is
explained, are similar to those often
experienced in the United States, where
the federal government exercises no
direct supervision over crimes comrnit-
ted in a particular state, bu the mat
ter is left to the officials of the juris-

When Mr.. McLauren had concluded.

was beyond review. and he could not

long speech, declared that he would
prefer TO see the bill defeated, rather
than to have it passed in it's present

assisted in the preparation of the bill.
but it Rad been amended out of form,
and he would advise the people of Ha-

Without yielding the floor Mr.. Nor

a final vote on the measure and amend
ments be taken at o'clock tomorrow.
To this the senate agreed, and at $40
o'clock adjourned.
