 The defense was stubbornly and successfully maintained through the whole of the following day and the next night. until Colonel Barter brought relief on the morning of No vember l. The Boers then retired. Their losses are between 900 and 400. Not only did General Both1 direct the attack but he personally shared in the fighting. 1HH

TREASON IS POSSIBLE
Even When People Are Disposed to
 Be Pacifled.

Manila. Nov. S.-There was a public discussion before. the Philippine com mission today on the draft of the act against treason and sedition. Many prominent Filipinos were present. Vice Governor Wright explained the object of the bill. saying that the Spanish code was unsatisfactory.
 There are a number of people living in the Philippines remarked Wright. .who so long as there is no punishment for treason will take advantage of the fact to clog the wheels of the insular government. It must not be overlooked that turbulent spirits exist in pacified provinces. The masses of the people are susceptible to infiammatory utter ances and are liable to be influenced by scheming demagogues- It would be an inexcusable weakness on the part Of the commission to allow the people to be aroused to deeds of violence when they are gradually drifting into the pursuits of peace"

 city, and at once lost interest in any other kind of a picnic. The inference is not conveyed that they were dis respectful of the dead, and they were far less of the living. In fact, they were just aching to turn their kodak on the scenes presented, but knowing the well known prejudice of the na- tives to the camera they feared to spring it under those circumstances lest there might be more funerals.
 When the party got there the pre- liminarieS were all over. the dead man had been placed upon the pyre and the fires lighted. The flames were reaching high into the heavens and the friends of the Gead man. which seemed to be as near legion the pop ulation of the reservation could af- ford. were engaged in final ceremonies. One old lady presumably the widow. was circling round and round the fire and murmuring low and mournful in- cantation, while in her hands she held two photographs, possibly of the de ceased. though the visitors could not get close enough to see them. The In dianS have superstition that any one who gets before a camera is very likely to receive summons from death very soon afterward. and the knowledge OI lDlS Dt'lel tOSclitl NAtil tht oiN lady's exhibition of the pictures made the visitors congratulate themselves that they had not placed their camera in action when they first approached.
 But the most interesting 6emonstra- tion was the wild and almost joyful grief of the Indians present, and their methods of expressing it. The mourn CTS, male and female alike, marched round the fire. most of them chanting or singing. and each one shedding some garment with tine completion of every circle. The squaws were dressed for the occasion. and some of them had on half a dozen dresses. Bit by bit they tore them from their persons and threw them in the fire. together with the trunk and other baggage belonging to the deceased. which was presumably checked clear through. This proceed ing lasted till the lady visitors began to look away toward the horizon. One of them remarked that if a second ln- dian should suddenly fall dead and re- quire burning on the spot they would have to cut the ceremonial short for want of clothes. The driver took the hint and the carriage moved on-

A FoRMER ATTEMPT.

Tsis-ep.sose. makes interesting an account of Leivas' previous arrange lnents for escape, published in the Yuma Sun. which reached here yester- day The result indicates that plans laid by that individual are not to be made light of. The Yuma Suns says:
 Becoming weary of close confine- Inent Louis Leivas, whose trial for highway robbery resulted in q hung jury at the last term of court, con ceived a plan of escape few days ago, but the details failed to work out. By the aid of a fellow prisoner. who was a sort of trusty around the county jail, Leivas smugSled out a letter addressed to F. L. Carmona, the Mexican jeweler, asking for saws, files and strong acids, with which he hoped to sever the iron bars that stand be ~tween him and the outside world He also instructed MT. Carinona to have a horse and saddle cached in the vii cinity of the court house on which to make his escape in case he succeeded in breaking jail MT. Carmona did not care to participate in a jail delivery. so he handed the letter over to Jailer William Neahr. Leivas' extreme anx- iety to absent himself from this vii cinity is not likely to be realized in the immediate future. as his escape would be almost impossible. While the jail itself is very hinsy structure. il is carefully guarded day and night, and the man who escapes will have to dc some hard fighting, with the odds against him. As a matter of precau- tion. however, pair of shacfzles were today riveted onto Leivas' leg, which will hold him for a while.

FOR WAYS THAT ARE DARK
More l han Ever the Heather Chinee
 Is Peculiar.

Capt. F. w. Hill. deputy United yesterday morning. He was instru- mental in the capture of seven China men who were unlswfully trying to enter the borders of the United States in the neighberhood of Nogales. They were tried before Commissioner Culver at Tucson and all were ordered deport- ed. They were brought up to Maricopa by Captain Hill and turned over to Marshal McCord. who left for San francisco with them yesterday morn ing.
 A funny thing happened at Nogales. and which. if the Chinese had been wise. might have furnished them an avenue of escape from deportation. They were put on a train to be sent TO Tucson for trial. The train was stand ing on the north side of the line and .ra- mained there for some time. It was in the course of the operation of getting started, shunted across the line. where an American officer is no better than a Chinaman. All of them might have escaped then. and one of them rose up and looked out of the car window. but without any hint from the officer he sat down again.
 A Chinaman living in this city lately furnished food for thought regarding the number of Chinamen who have been recently captured in Arizona charged with being in the country un- lawfully He says that most of them have invited capture that they may be legally deported and sent back to China at the expense of the government, for they had intended to return home any LOW.
 He said he believed that all of them could show certificates if they needed them. but that they had sold them to other Chinamen who were not entitled to certificates, so that double purpose was served by the fraud. He added that no Chinaman expects to die in this country, so that his certificate is only a permit of temporary residence. When the Chinaman, therefore. gets ready to go home. nothing is more natural than t.-at hc should sell his certificate for whatever he can get for it and then avail himself of the chance of arrest and deportation. He can afford to throw his certificate away rather than to per- init it to interfere with his chance of getting home at the expense of the United States government, which is taking every possible precaution to keep nim out.

CONNECTICUT SUICIDE.
A Nurse Kills Herself by InhalinG
 Chlorofor1.

Meriden. Conn.,. Nov. S.-Miss Alice Ellis, a welI-known trained nurse of this city and a graduate of the New Haven hospi,ai, committed suicide in the rear of the residence of the late Dwight P. Wilcox. where she was for merly employed as a governess, early this morning by inhaling chloroform from tin pan in which she had placed her head. She was discovered shortly after o'clock, lying on the ground, her head in a black silk bag lying in the pan of chloroform.
 Miss Ellis was fl years old and was born in Canada. The only reason that her friends can give for her act is that she was greatly attached to six-year old son of MT. Wilcox, whom she had taken care of from his birth up to last January. when he was placed with relatives in Westfield.

United States Steel corporation insists upon so per cent of stock. while only 60 per cent is in the hands of the Mitchell-G Gates party. No overtures have been made by either side since the refusal of the steel combine last July to give one share each of common and preferred for one share of ColoraGo Fuel & Iron company.
 John J. Mitchell and John w. Gates will soon go to New York. MT. Mitcaell says their simultaneous departure has no bearing whatever on the Steel-Col- orado-Cleveland iron deal. Said Mir. Mitchell: The Steel corporation wants the Colorado concern, but will not pay the price asked"

HE IS A DEAD MAN
The Attempt Was Unsuccessful in the Beginning-There Was the Cap ture of an Engine After the Over towering of the Sheriff's Guards. Pursuit and Death of the Slayer of Deputy Sheriff Devanne.

Yuma, Ariz., Nov. 3-(Special)-Dur- ing the noon hour today a break was made from the Yuma oners escaped. Thomas Hart. un- der sentence of death for the murder of Deputy Sheriff Devanne. and a Mex ican named, Leivas, accused of rob bery, went to the round-house, took the switch engine that was standing in the yard and started east on the main track. They abandoned the en- zine and headed for the mountains.
 An engine with car took out posse and horses. They found the engine near Blaisden and then returned to where they had left the track. As the fugitives escaped and pulled out of the yard a party attempted to shoot them, and as there was considerabl blood on the engine, one of the escapes was thought to have been wounded.
 Wher they left here Hart had on an Oregon boot. Reports to how the escape was effected are conflicting. Hart had been taken from his cell tenn porarily. and when the jailor went in to where the prisoners were he was held up by a revolver in the hands of Leivas. He was forced into Hart's cage and locked up. The escapes then went to the sheriff's office and secured two rifles. a shotgun and a revolver. Hart and Leivas were well armed and it was thought that probably they could not be taken alive Another en- zine went out with more men, As to how Leivas get the revolver is not known.
 The fusitives were caught at For tuna. a mining camp near Blaisdel ,Hart being killed and Leivas captured
