Fall to Conquer the YaquIs.

Ortiz, Mexico, Jan. 15.-Small bands
of Yaqui Indians have become very
annoying to the Mexican troops during
the last few days. and frequent skir-
mishes have occurred. A few nights
ago 100 Indians boldly rode into the
corral and stampeded over 200 horses
belonging to the troops. The Indians
afterward captured the animals for
their own use. 1t is almost impossible
to get supplies to the troops. owing to
tne Yaqufs guerrilla tactics. General
Torres men are living on the country.
and there are times when they must
suffer severely for lack of food. Amer
leans who have come from the Yaqui
country say the troops have made no
headway toward putting down the re-
bellion.

General Wood Fixed the Bla mo.

Havana, Jan. 14.-Governor General
Wood on Monday will issue an order
appointing commission of three 10
study and report upon the problem
of taxation throughout the entire
island.
The removal of Scnor Federico Mora.
fiscal of the Supreme Court, continues
the main topic of discussion in the city.
All are apparently coming to the con-
clusion that the action of the governor
general is justifiable, the only quest
ion being whether Scnor Mora should
not be prosecuted. The people, espcci-
ally the lawyers. have begun to re-
aliZe that the fact that the men who
have been allowed to lie in prison
for years have not been brought to
trial within the past few months, is
due entirely to the fiscal. One man,
who had been fourteen years await
ing trial, had application on file in
Senor Morals office seeking the reason
for his non-arrnignment.
There are many Il similar case, in
vestigation of which will show, If
nothing worse, culpable negligence and
absolute inattention to the duties of
the office.

Find Good Coal in Cuba.

Santiago, Jan. 15.-It is believed
here that the problem of utilizing the
vast resources of the island in iron and
manganese has been solved by the re-
cent discovery of extensive deposits
of coal in the Mayari district, near
Nipi bay. Tests of several tons taken
from the outcroppings and brought
here for experiment show that the coal
is Of very high grade, resembling fine
camel coal.
Mining men are surprised and de-
lighted. Little search for coal has
been made owing to the belief of the
government biologists that deposits of
coal We're not likely to be found in the
island.
Already a company is being organ
ized to begin mining operations, with II
view afterward of establishing smelt-
ing works, If the coal supply warrants
it. According to several mining man
ayers who are interested in it, the find
ing of sufficient coal supply would
mean an immediate rise in the value
of all Cuban mining properties.

INVENT A SUBMARINE LIGHT.
Device Attracts the Attention of the Rus
Sian Naval AttAche

New London. Conn, Jan. 15.-Cap-
tain w. Baron Fersen, naval attache
of the Russian government, stationed
at Washington, has been In this city
for two days Investigating the subma-
rine arc light which was invented dur
Ing the Spanish war by II. G. Hall,
Jr., and q. Il. Burdick, two Yale un-
dergraduatcs.
Capt. Ferscn, who is an expert in
submarine work, was so pleased with
the invention that he told them that
he would recommend that the Russian
government purchase enough OF these
lights to equip the Russian navy, and
ordeal one of the lights, which will
be shipped to Russia at once. The
test, 1t is claimed, proves that Hall and
Burdick by their invention have prov
en- that mir is not necessary to an arc
light. This Is something that has al
ways been considered absolutely es-
sential. BY the use of this light,
wrecks can be lighted at depth of
200 feet below the surface of the sea,
SO that n photograph can be made of
sunken ship. This is the limit depth
mt which divers can work.

Belgium Wants Reciprocity.

Antwerp, Jan. 15.-The Belgian au-
thorities greatly desire to avail them
selves of the reciprocity provisions of
the Dineley tariff act, but cannot. The
United States demands in return free
entry for American grain and the re-
moval of veXatious restrictions on the
importation of American cattle into
Belgium. The government, fearing the
hostility of the agricultural deputies
to such concessions, dares not propose
a reciprocity treaty, and the country
thus is estopped from developing Its
commercial relations with the United
States. The commercial population
protests earnestly but unavailingly.

TWO EDITORS SHOT.
SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY AT
DENVER.
W. W. Anderson, a Lawyer, Shoots Bon
hls and Tammen Owners of the Post
Bonfls May Die,

Denver, Jan. 15.-The Rocky Noun
tain News says: Frederick G. BOntils
and Harry III. Tammen, proprietors OF
the Post, We're shot Saturday by At
torney w. W. Anderson. The affair
occurred about 40 o'clock in the
private office of the paper. Mr.. Bon
fils' condition Is serious. No fear is
expressed for Mr. Tammcn unless COM
plications should ensue. Attorney An
derson was placed under arrest, but
was released. Bond was fixed at
$4,000.
The shooting was the result of an al
tercation regarding the conduct of Mr..
Anderson in connection with the
Packer case. Attorney Anderson was
accused of questionable transactions
and blows followed. Then came four
shots. The attorney walked from the
room. Tammen and Bonfils were ly-
ing on the floor and Polly Pry, the 9th
er occupant of the apartment, was try
ing to help the injured men.
Tammen was shot in the shoulder
and through the left wrist. Bontlls
received one bullet in the left breast.
1t tore around rib and stopped in the
middle of the left side. whence 1t was
removed by the doctor. Another ball
entered the left side of the neck and
cut downward and backward, lodging
In a position whence 1t could be fol-
lowed by probing only al great risk. 1t
is supposed to be In the back, just be
hind the left lung. Whether it will be
cut for or not depends entirely upon
symptoms of trouble arising from its
location.
1t is asserted that Anderson pro-
cured $25 from Packer, the man
eater" in the penitentiary Mt Canon
City, representing himself to be n
stockholder and director of the Post.
For this he was taken to task by the
proprietors Of the paper.
Warden Hoyt of the state peniten-
tiary said to II News reporter last
night that Anderson mad long talk
with Packer at the penitentiary last
Wednesday and obtained S25 from
Packer toward payment for services In
endeavoring to get him released from
Imprisonment. The warden was In
and out of the office during the CONVEX
sation between the two men, but heard
little of it.
Yesterday Packer told Warden Hoyt
that Anderson distinctly claimed to tie
a stockholder of the Post and that he
thinks Anderson claimed also to be
director of the Post company.
The stories of the shooting 'as told
by the persons In the room differ wide
ly.
Anderson claimed that he was beaten
by Tammen and Bontils and then shot
them. 1t is certain that he was struck
in the face several times. Tammen
states that Anderson was the ag
gressor.

The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1900-05-29

When Queen Victoria visited Ireland
in 1S49 she spent a brief time in Bel
East. She was accompanied by the
prince consort. AS he gazed at a col
lection of linens in the white linen
hall, his royal highness conceived the
the manufactures and products of the
world. On the return of Prince AL
bert to London he consulted the late
Earl Granville, who corroborated his
views, and the result was the great ex-
hibition in Hyde Park London, in 1851,
the first enterprise of the kind the
world had ever seen.

Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo, the most regal and
best-known gambling salon in Europe,
is freQuented by millionaires and
princes who delight in games Of
chance. The Casino occupies the high
est point Of this rugged bit of land.
Two years ago, when the company
controlling the gaming tables renewed
its fifty years lease, the agreement
was that at the end of 1899. $4,000, 600
should be paid to the prince and $3,-
100000 in 1913. Further, he is to be
paid between 1900 and 1917, $3.50, 900;
between 1917 and 1887, S4S0,000, and
between 1887 and 1947, 100000 each
year. The company pays all the ex-
penses Of the principality, as it can
well afford to do. Last year a clear
profit of $5,200,000 was declered.
