Shooting at Duquesne.

Word was received in Nogales from Washington Camp Monday evening that M II. Jones, the manager Cf the companyS store, had shot and prob ably fatally wounded Chas Bankerd, the cashier of the Duquesne Mining Co. It was learned latter in the even- ing that Bankherd was shot twice with a 3S-calibre revolver and that one bullet had entered his mouth and lodged in his neck. The other ball struck him in the side and lodged in his liver.
 No cause for the shooting was learned The men were apparently the best of friends. The general i'm pression of people who arrived from the camp is that Jones was insane when he fired the shots and that he even now seems dazed, and does not fully comprehend what he has done.
 Thursday 1t WAS learned that Ba3k- herd was out of danger and would re- cover Thursday morning pr. Wylle of Phoenix, who had been sent for at the same time as Dr. Weschcke, ar rived at the camp and after examin- ing the wounded man stated that in removing the ball which had lodged in Bankherd's neck, Dr. Wesch cke had performed most rema' kable and sue cessful operation, and that the pa tient's present favorable condition was largely due to the Nogales Doc tors skill Dr. Wylie returned to Phoenix Thursday night.
 Jones was brought into Nogales Thursday night. He is held for assault with a deadly weapon with bail fixed at S2500.

In justice to Professor OConnor this statement of tEe case is now published.

PUERTO RICAN BILL
Opening of the Debate in the
House.
GREAT INTEREST IN MEASURE
Preliminary Speeches by Payne, Dalzell
and Richardson-Opposi to
the Bill.

Washington, Feb. 2l.-The debate
upon the Puerto Rican tariff bill, which
is to continue throughout the week,
and possibly longer opened in the
house today. On all hands it is agreed
that this bill, although it applies only
to Puerto Rico, involving, as it does.
the question of the power to govern
our new possessions outside the limita-
tions of the constitution, is the most
important measure which will come
before this congress. Interest in the
bill is intense among the members on
both sides, and there is urgent demand
for time.
The Democrats are solidly arrayed
against the measure, and they will
have powerful support from the Repub-
lican side in Mccall (Rep. Mass.), and
Littlefeld (Rep. Me), both able and
forceiul debaters. How far the Repub-
lican disaffection will extend, or
whether it will endangel the bill, 1t
is impossible to say at this time.
Payne (Rep. N. ", floor leader OF the
majority, refused to agree that vote
should be taken upon substitute to be
offered by the minority, This substi-
tute, which has not yet been framed,
will be in substance the bill originally
introduced by Payne, providing for free
trade with Puerto Rico by the extern
sion of the customs and revenue laws
of the United States over the island.
The debate today lacked exciting
features. 1t was in the nature of a
long range bombardment before the
lash OF the contending forces in battle
Payne opened with general argument
in support of the bill, going largely
into the material side of the situation,
which the bill is designed to relieve
Richardson, the Democratic leader,
joined issue upon the power of congress
to enact the proposed legislation, and
Dalzell (Rep. Pa.), backed up Payne
with constitutional and legal argu-
ment. All three were listened to with
close attention.

CRONJE GOT AWAY
Doubt About Capture of the
British Wagons.
HOW ROBERTS PLANS WORKED
Beers From Natal Are Reported to Be
Moving to Assistance of the Free
State Forces.

London, eeb. 20.-It is now amply
confirmed that General Cronje escaped.
Every detail received, however, proves
how admirable Lord Roberts plans
were conceived and were succeeding.
But for the unexpected delay at Dekiel
drift, which was almost inmpassable
for wagons, the whole Boer force would
have been surrounded. The delay of
one day there gave them their chance
for hasty retreat. All the other
movements of Lord Roberts we're exc
cuted on time. Apparently General
Cronje is retreating with the main
army, and even if he shall escape alto
gether, he will probably lose all his
baggage.
There is still something doubtful of
about the capture OF the British convoy.
According to Daily Mail correspond
ent with the convoy, which consisted
of 200 wagons, each loaded with 5000
pounds of ration and forage, and each
drawn by 16 oxen, it was quite unex-
pectedly attacked by commando
supposed to come from Colesburg. The
escort, consisting of 80 of the Gordon
Highlanders, 40 men of the army serv-
ice corps, and few of Kitchener's
horse, maintained defense until the
arrival of reinforcements sustaining
insignificant casualties.
The Standards correspondent at
Jacobsdal, telegraphing February II,
says:
"An attack was made yesterday
upon the rear guard of our main body
by force of 1,400 Beers, who were
hurried up from Colesburg. They
succeeded in capturing some of our
wagons, but Lord Roberts did not de-
lay his march to retake these. There
were few Casualties on our side.
The last OF our supply columns ar
rived from Honey Nest kloof today,
having met with no opposition on the
way.
Specials from Ladysmith report an
apparent movement on the Beers to-
ward the Free State, presumably with
the object of assisting General Cronje.

London, Feb. 21.--A member Of the
cabinet told II. w. Lucy tonight that
the war office had received a telegram
announcing that General Cronje wa
hopelessly surrounded Mr.. Wyndham
was beset with anxious members OF
the house, but would only reply that
the governments news was extremely
satisfactory. The sole explanation OF
the governments Withholding good
news is that confirmation and more
details are awaited.
The situation, as disclosed by corre-
spondents over the Free State border,
is tantalizing to the public expectation.
The elementary facts are that the Beers
are trekking eastward toward Bloemfon-
tein with slow moving baggage trains,
and that they are pursued by Lord
Kitchener with General Kelly-Kenny's
division. General Macdonald, with
the Highlanders, made forced march
to Koodoosrand ford and Sunday pushed
20 miles eastward. General French
left Kimberley Saturday, going along
the Modder river. Lord Kitchener is
trying to outmarch and to outtlank
the Beers, thus checking their retreat,
if possible and driving them back in
to the hands of Macdonald and French.

BATTLE IN souDAN.
french Force Defeated Rabah, "A Native
Chieftain.

Onleitulns
Paris, Feb. 19.-M, de Crais, min
lister of the colonies, has received a
telegram from the governor of the
French Congo, NJ. De Lamothe, an
nouncing the defeat in battle of Rabah,
the principal chieftan of Central Sou
dan, by French expedition under NJ.
Gentil.
Rabah has long been the strongest
opponent of the extension of French
influence in the Soudan. 1t appears
that he was strongly intrenched at
Kouna, between French Congo and
Lake Tchad. Kouna was defended by
10000 men, with $500 rifles and three
cannon. After a desperate fight, the
French demolished the fortress. Ra-
bah, who was wounded during the
fight, fled six hours before its conclu-
sion. The commander of the French
expedition, however admits that prac-
tically half of his own force was placed
hors de combat. Forty-three Senaga-
lese sharpshooters were killed, and
four Europeans, including Captain
Robillot, and 106 Senagalese were
wounded. The commander of the OK
pedition says in his report:
"We had altogether 800 rifles, SO |
thought it advisable to continue the
march to Lake Tchad. Captain
Robillot occupied a fortified canton
ment at Tounia."
The commander of the expedition
returned to Bangue to inform the gov
ernor of the defeat of Rabah. He re-
ports that the result will be very i'm
portant, as Rabah is completely de-
moralized by his losses, estimated at
between 2,000 and 5000 killed.
