SHORT SHIFT FOR BANDITS.
Mexican Rangers Take the Law Into Their
Own Hands.


Own Hands.
PALvo, Tex, Aug. 2L-One of those
terrible and blood-curdling acts so com
mon on the Texas-Mexican frontier oc-
Cured in the little village of Mulato,
state of chihuahua, Mexico, recently
when band of masked robbers entered
the residence of Leandro Carrasco, and
after having tied him and another man,
robbed them of s12, 900 and other prop
erty. Carrascos wife, a handsome
woman, was assaulted. A few days
later one Of the men recognized as one
of the robbers, was arrested and jailed.
A few days later one of the men rec
ognized as one of the robbers, was ar
rested and jailed. A brother went to
see what he could do for him but he too
had been accused of having partici-
pating in the assault and his arrest was
ordered by the project. When the
police went to arrest him he made a
most determined resistance and was
shot to death by the police. Yester-
day the Mexican rangers, who had been
called from the interior Of Mexico to
hunt down members of the mob, ar
rested one Paz Baisa and started with
him for Del Notre. They had not gone
far when they decided to dispose of
him. Baisa was made to kneel down
and four rife shots pierced his body.
On the morning following the killing
of Baisa the rangers took from the Jail
at Del Notre, one Justo Alverado,
another of the accused and filed his
body full of bullets. There is great ex-
citement along the river front on both
sides and further developments in this
terrible tragedy are hourly expected.
The activity of the Mexican govern
mcnt in dealing with the bandits in
Testing its borders has had the effect of
running a number of bad characters to
the Texas side and the Texas rangers
have been ordered to scout the Big
Bend country, a mountainous and rug
ged country, such as is suitable for the
haunts of bandits.

PRoTECToRATE OVER CUBA.
Advocated by Senior Lanuza, Former Sec
rotary of Justice.

HAVANA, Aug. 27.-Senor Lanuza,
former secretary of justice, who was
recently asked to represent the Repub-
lican party of Cienfuegos in the forth
coming constitutional convention, pub
lished today a private letter written
last April, in which he gives his reason
for not joining the Republicans. He
takes this step in order to explain his
exact position:
II do not join the Republican party"
he says, because l do not agree with
the two principal ideas of that party,
namely the immediate cessation of in
Prevention and accession of absolute in
dependence. If intervention were to
cease before Cuba had become we'll
established upon a sound economic
basis, then dark days would be in store
for us. After the republic is estab-
lished the United States should main
tain for some time international rela-
tions with Cuba, especially with ref
erence to Cuba's dealing with other
countries. and should also have the
right of approving or disappearing
Cuban loans above certain amount.
Moreover, the American govern
ment should uphold Cuba before the
world. Indeed, if the United States
were not to do these things, then the
prospects would be gloomy. What is
needed is a frank avowal from Wash
ington that the United States will
guarantee sound and efficient govern
ment in Cuba. This is requisite to a
restoration of confidence"

A Negroes Opinion OF the Negro.

The concluding days of the dis
trict conference of the Baton Rouge
(La.) district, A. M. e. church, were
very interesting. Presiding Elder
Henry Taylor read report of the
condition of the district, which gave
great satisfaction. Among other
things, he said that the negro as a
rule joins too many societies to bury
himself when he is dead, and he has
too many meetings, any way. he
meets every night and all day Sunday.
Members of the church being led by
sinners, who almost invariably have
no respect for the Sabbath and but
very little for the church; in fact, the
negro has too many leaders any way.
The best thing for the negro to do is
to study, think, labor and wait, and
cultivate friendly terms among the
whites, with whom he lives and
practice peace with all mankind"

ed to the police that he had been
drugged and robbed. Dunbar said he
had been working hard during the
early part of the night trying to
pacify the negroes who had been agi-
tated about the west side riots and
was very tired. William Kicks, a ne
gro, invited him into a saloon and adj
vised him against going through
West Thirty-seventh street, as, he
said, it was dangerous. This is all he
remembers until the following after.
noon, when he awoke on the top floor
of building on West Thirty-seventh
street. AS soon as Dunbar examined
his pockets he found that he had been
robbed. His diamond ring, a gold
watch and chain, some money and
some trinkets were missing.

TO ESTABLISH BUS LINE.

NJ Louis. June 1.-THE Cenral Trades
and Labor Union proposes to establish a
bus line in st. Louis to compete with
and run parallel to the lines of the st.
Louis Transit company on which there
is a strike, to be operated by union men.
At a meeting at Waljalla Hall last
night the first step was taken toward
this end by the adoption of a resolution
to raise at least 100000 to purchase and
eo,,ip the necessary busses.
From the resolution adopted and the
declarations of the speakers. henceforth
the policy will be to win the strike if pos
sible on the basis of general boycott,
which in all it's ramifications is to reach
to almost every industry in the city The

traversed by the street car line will be
