THE REpoRf DENIED.
No Treaty Between England, Germany
and Portugal as to Possess
sionS.

Berlin, December 2s.-Regarding the
statement by The Lokal Anzeiger that
a secret Anglo-German-Portuguese
treaty exists for the division Of h
Portuguese colonies in South Africa,
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press is able to assert on the highest
authority that the story Is a pure nc-
ton and is. in all It's claims without
foundation in fact. The high Official
who authorizes this denial made the
following declaration:
There is nc objection to stating that
h understanding had by Great Brit
ain, Germany and Portugal refers only
to Africa and leaves Asia wholly out
OF the o II is quite certain, how
ever, that German under no c~onsidera-
ton would conclude such a bargain

political sense ought 10 see that these
tiny enclaves in the midst OF the Brit

 Jose Rodrigues, a Mexican living at Morenci, was bound over by Judge Settle on a charge of rape and in de- fault of bail was sent to Solomonville yesterday where he will remain till the fall term of court. His victims were two young American girls.
 There will be some surprises dis closed by the census enumerator of this district, chief among which will be that Clifton will turn out to be a larger town than Morenci. It has been generally supposed that the lat ahead of Clifton.
 H. c. Day, chairman of Board of Supervisors of this county, came in on last Fridays train to see about improving the jails here and at Mo renci. It was decided to build two additional rooms to the Clifton jail and otherwise improve it, but we did not learn MT. Days decision regard ing the Morenci jail.
 Earnest Frye, a veteran prospector of this district, who lives in the mountains above Metcalfe, spent a few days in town this week. MT.

The Troubles of Santa Teresa.

inst, Tomas Urea, the father of Hamilton and in very excited man. ner urged the officer to go to his house and arrest man whom he said was there terrorizing his (Urrea'sl family. The officer accompanied Senor Urea to his house in the lower part of town, and there found man named Rodrigues sparkling" Santa Teresa. Rodrigues was armed at the time with a winchester, which was taken from him and he was taken be- fore Justice Wright. 1t there devel- oped that Rodrigues was courting Teresa against the wishes of the old man and to make things strong, had been little too free in the use of his gun in the presence of the fond parent. Senor Urea explained his troubles to the Justice, but positively refused to swear to any complaint, whereupon the Justice discharged Rodrigues, and assessed the cost of arrest against Urea.
 A short time after being discharged from custody, Rodrigues went to Jus tice Wright and requested him to go and perform the ceremony of mar riage between him and Teresa. The Justice, thinking that perhaps all was not right, took an interpreter and went to Teresa s house and inter- viewed the lady; she said she loved the man and wished to marry him, that as she was of age no one had any right to interfere, and when asked at what hour she wished the cere mony performed, said that F o'clock suited her. At 12 o'clock the Justice, attired in his store clothes, went to the house of Teresa, and, in very short order, made the pair one. In the evening of that day they went to Metcalf to spend their honeymoon.
 The next day word was received at Clifton that Rodrigues had gone crazy, that he had shot Teresa, that he was running amuck, and help was needed to round him up. Officers Hamilton and Bell immediately char IC1 GU cll lA1O SlIlNt SIelA IONt 1O1 AASS calf. Arriving there the town was found in an uproar of excitement. It seem that Rodrigues, after trying to kill his brand new wife, had shot up the town and then disappeared. Teresa, accompanied by the officers and a large crowd of Mexicans came back to Clifton that night.
 Subsequently, Rodrigues was ar rested at Metcalf and Justice Shirley, with his usual liberality, gave him the privilege of spending the balance of his honeymoon in the tunnel.
 On the 25th a complaint, accom- panied by affidavit, was lodged with Justice Wright asking that Rodrigues be put under peace bond, and next day he was taken to court for hear ing. The fact was brought out that in addition to trying to kill his wife, he had threatened to kill her father and all the balance of the family. Justice Wright seemed to think that he had 2 nrettv tOuOh customer to
