CUBAN BRIGAND SLAIN.
Juan Gonzales, an Outlaw, Killed by
Rural Guards.

Santiago De Cuba, June 4.-Rural
guards killed Juan Gonzales, the notori-
Gus outlaw, and four companions near
Sagua yesterday. Gonzales had been
arrested several times, but he always
escaped conviction because witnesses
feared to testify against him.
The officer of the rurales who killed
him claim that Gonzales and his band
We're slain in a fight, but there are ma
tives who say that the outlaws were
taken by strategy and then deliber-
ately shot. Color is given to this re-
port by the fact that not one of the
guards was injured. The Gonzales
band was the last well-known brigand
organization in this province.
