THEY FOUGHT BRAvELY
SURPRISED AMERICANS WERE NOT
EASILY MASTERED.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 4.-The steamer
Shinae Maru, which arrived today
brought further particulars of the mas
that the attack was long planned and car
r1ed out with precision. The night
previous to the massacre two women of
the place gathered in the church to pray
for their husbands and relations and dur
ing the day a sealed coffin was brought
into the church. In this coffin numbers
of bolos were secreted, and during the
night the bolomen stealthily hid in the
church and armed themselves. The next
morning the attackers were already with
in the church and one of the native police
gave the signal by wrestling agun from a
sentry and after firing, crying the word
agreed upon.
Then the bolomen rushed from the
church and the surprised soldiers, who
were at breakfast without rifles or other
arms, were massacred. Private Myers
one of the survivors of the scene of earn
age, tells Of the stand made by Corporal
Burke and several others who had re-
volvers and rifles. The bolomen were
driven from the barracks room and shot
as they jumped through the windows.
Sergeant Beatro attempted to rescue the
officers, but it was too late and after
driving back the bolomen, the survivors
took down the American flag and escaped
having a trying time before Bazey was
reached. During the fight Myers says one
American who had his left arm cut off,
dropped to the ground and worked his
rifle with the other arm until cut down.

RECIPROCITY.

at is always amusing to me- said the
thoughtful man, when l read or a re-
ward being offered for the return of lost
money. 1t always seems to me that If
the money falls into the hands OF an
honest man he would be only too glad
to see that the loser got 1t, but II, on the
contrary. it should fall into the hands
of a dishonest man, why, money spent
on the advertising Of a reward would be
merely thrown away, unless the reward
eouaIled the amount lost.
ga number of years ago an old man
living in the same town that I did, and
who had the reputation of being very
close, lost a roll of bills amounting to
several hundred dollars. 1t was mys-
terry to everyone how he let go of it
long enough to lose it, but he did, and
spent several days rushing around town
looking for it, but without success.
..FinalIy someone suggested the adj
visibility of offering reward for the
return of the lost money. He objected to
this as costing him too mucn, but at last
he opened his heart and offered the sum
of one dollar to the finder. A few days
later he received by mail a one-dollar note,
together with a letter, to the effect that
he could have the reward and the finder
would keep the rest for his trouble

DEAD ON The FLOOR
WITNESSES SWEAR PICtETps
WIFE WAS LIFELESs BEFORE
BODY CAUGHT FIRE
HEARD SOUNDS OF CHOKING
Two Women Thought Burglars
Were Trying to Kill the Woman
Before Pickett Came Oat
of Room.

If Reuben c. Pickett, who is on trial
For the murder of his wife some tour
teen months ago, is not guilty, there
certainly was some IN + very t eaagng tes
to show that he might have been I'M
plIcated in some way.
Mrs. Nelson, the star witness for the
state, said that she was awakened on
the night on which the death of Mrs
Pickett happened, by hearing scuffilng
sounds of cnoking and gurSing In the
Pickett fiat, which was on the same
floor as her fiat.
Her sister was with her, also heard
the noise, and they were afraid to go
out i'll the hall to see what the trouble
was, as they thought that burglars
were in the house and numbering Mrs
Pickett. In a short time after they heard
the noise Pickett rushed out of his
apartments with his two children and
asked the two women TO save them
while he turned in the fire alarm. Mrs.
Nelson rushed to the back part OF the
fiat, and pushed open the bath room
door where the fire was, and there DIS
covered Mrs. Pickett lying on the floor
dead. She lay there with her night dress
on, her eyes closed; Immediately after
wards her night robe caught atire, but
Mrs. Nelson is positive that the woman
was dead before the fire ever reached
her
Pickett in the meantime had run down
stairs to turn in the alarm. In the BATH
room was a strong odor OF Kerosene
or gasoline, ana q lamp WITH the burner
removed stood in one corner OF the
room.
The evidence as far as the scufiing
and choking noise was concerned was cor
reiterated by another OF the states
witnesses, a Mrs. Howard who lived i'm
mediately under the Picketts, and had
retired ror the night but had not gone
to sleep. Mrs. Howard swore posi-
lively that she heard the quarrelins
between man and a woman, but couid
not hear anything that was said, and
after the struggling was over she heard
something being dragged across the floor
that sounded like the dragging of a
body, and shortly afterwards the alarm
of fire was given.
The women were all so scared that they
were unable to make any outcry, all
seemed to be of the same opinion that
there were burglars in the house, and
were afraid to venture out of their
rooms. None of the women was per-
Sonally acquainted with the Picketts, and
claim to have no interest in the case
save that of getting at the facts of the
mysterious death of Mrs. Pickett. The
state has fifteen or twenty other disin-
terested witnesses which it intends put
ting on the stand, and the case bids fair
to be u long drawn out contest.

Gen. Wood Insists That Tariff Re-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Gen. Leonard
Wood military governor of. Cuba. accom-
panied by his secretary and Mr.. Gonzales
Quesada, was at the capitol today con-
ferring with senators in the interest of
Cuban reciprocity. Gen. Wood told
the senator's that soma measure
of reciprocity on cuban sugar and
tobacco, particularly the former, is essen
tial to giving the island that degree of
stability and prosperity which was con-
templated when the United States dis
possessed Spanish rule.
Concerning the renewed reports from
Havana that Gen. Maso's friends COM
plain that the United States influence is
being exerted in favor of Estrada Palma's
candidacy, Gen. Wood says that every
care is being taken to avoid such infiu-
ence the Importance of which he be-
iieves to be much oyerestimated.
