British military authorities, who
would like to have someone capture

Lieut.-Col. Arthur Ii. Lee, who ii

1t takes the intelligence of an
American soldier, particularly of the
F%unstonian order, to turn such a
trick.

in the world that could produce such
a combination Of ingenuity and Jar

EntOmbed by an Explosion
Escaped.

Denver, Col, April IA special to
the News from Gallup, n. NJ, says
that there were only three men in
the Weaver mine at the time of the
explosion yesterday. 1t was thought
that a number of Japanese en-

a mistake. The three men, as report

killed, and the workings of the mine

BETTER A MULE HAD KILLED HIM.
A Returned Army officer Talks
About the Capture of AguinaIdo.


Denver, Col, March 29.-Col. A. W.
Corliss, who returned last week from
the Philippines, was highly pleased to
learn of the capture of the rebel
chieftain, Aguinaldo. But it would
have been better if a mule had kicked
the little upstart 10 DEATH" said Col.
Corliss." The question now is what
will we do with him?
II do not consider the capture of
Aguinaldo the most important thing
that could have happened, though it
may have the effect to send all of the
rebels tumbling into surrender as
fast as they can. Gen. Trias. who sur
rendered y few days ago, was more
important, to my mind, than any of
the other fellows. The Filipinos have
come to appreciate that a hero h
hides out IL the bushes and keeps
away from the front as much as possi-
bic, is not much of n hero, and Aguin-
aldo has lost his old time prestige"

in the instruction has at last been

Taking Water Proof.

Hon. W. H. Gilcrist, Superintend-
ent of Water Division No. l, was here
Saturday the 18th inst. and took the
proof in a number of cases of bitches,
as advertised in The Sun. There was
no conflict to speak of and all went
smoothly. 1t was a kind of clearing
up business, as there was no adjudica-
ton Of any special stream, simply the
gathering up of scattered rights, here
and there, all over the valley. The
most important work done was the
rehabilitation of the ditch owned
by the Dunkards on Encampment

der that ditch there were several err
rors in the description of the lands
irrigated; some being above the ditch,
others on the opposite side of the
river and some that was under it hay
