May Settle bond Suits.

Denver, Sept. 3O.-If the taxpayers
Of Lake county accept ut the coming
election proposition submitted to
them by the holders Of the county's de-
faultcd bonds and warrants. litigation
which has continued more than fifteen
years will be closed.
The total contested Indebtedness,
principal and interest, is now S2,I5i.-
600. OF which SSSO.OOO represents the
original bonds and warrants. 1t has
been claimed on behalf Of the county
that the bonds and warrants were Is
sued in excess of the constitutions.
limitation and that therefore they need
not be paid. To defend this view tile
county has paid out not less than
S15O,OOO in the courts. The proposition
made on behalf of the bondholders is
that the county take up the bonds and
warrants by an issue of four per cent.
bonds to the amount of 100000. The
bonds are made payable in twenty
years and may be redeemed in ten, so
that by an assessment slightly greater
than that required for litigation the in
terest may be paid and n sinking fund
provided. The burden will be made
much lighter also from the fact that
the assessed valuation Of Lake county
has been raised this year from 81 ,OOO,-
600 to more than S14.OO0,O0O.
1t Is expected that the settlement of
this last of the contested county bond
issues will have beneficial effect on
the market for Colorado securities. Six
of the counties of the state have repu-
dated bond issues, so that Colorado
bonds have been regarded with some
suspicion. The Gunnison county bond
cases were compromised last year,
leaving only Lake county's contested.

The Men Who VIII Surely Hold the Onloca

Amount 10 Nothing.

Washington, Feb, 2G.-Conhdential
advlces from CubH are not entirely
satisfactory. These reports say that
the old revolutionary party is begin
ming TO show It's teGth. There are men
In CubN who have made u living out
OF being revolutonists, and they are
showing signs of restlessncss. The
island Is divided into factions already,
and not the least dangerous feature
Is the fact that the men in control,
tho ones who surely will hold the Of
fees, arc not representative Of com
mercal interests,
There nrr on the flies OF the state
department confidential letters from
business men, not only in Havana but
In all the other large cities Of the is
land, begging this country not to
lenve them at the mercy Of the adven-
turers and professional patriots,
These business men say that the min
ute the United States resigns its au-
thority the local officials, whose ideas
Of government aiN derived solely
from their Spanish predecessors, will
blackmail every business house, bank
and sugar plantation on the island,
The fear Of these business men, II Ia
said, amounts almost 10 II panic. They
admit that the Spanish government
was woefully corrupt, but at least II
wns capable OF maintaining order in
the commercial centers.
Constitutional safeguards in the
LOtin.Americ0n countries amoNnt TO
nothing, and the men who are coming
to the front in Cuba are of the class
which has been hungry and ragged
for years, and which may be de-
pended upon to make the merchants,
and especially the SpNniards, pay Il
high price for their government.

Terre llaute, Ind, Feb, 26.--George
Ward, Ngcd g7 u negro employe In

later confessed to having murdered
Miss Ida Finklestein, school-tcOcher,
here late Monday afternoon. Ward
said the girl tauntcd him about his
color and then slapped him In the
face and in III Of anger he shot her
aud then cut her throat. A crowd OF
$500 men took Ward from the jail
and hanged him TO n stringer of the
wagon bridge across the Wabash river,
On the way to the bridge the victim
was beaten with sticks and shot at by
members of the mob and he was un-
conscious when hanged and In all
probability dead, When the body was
dropped from the bridge one strand
Of the rope broke and the leaders Of
the mob thinking that their victim
might drop into the river, hauled the
body mp again, and II was dragged TO
the west side OF the river and burned,
There was no attempt Al disguise on
the part Of any member Of the mob,
In all the crowd not one word Of
sympathy for the wretch was TO he
heard, though many deprecated the
final act OF burning.

rived here from Manila and has or

recently was controlled by the insur-
gents. The insurgent colonel, Mores,

The party arrived here In army
wagons and native carts, and were
driven 10 the military headquarters,

the commissioners, declaring that the

wntered with the blood of Americans
and Filiplnos, earnestly hoped for the
obliteration of the marks Of war and
for the establishment Of peaceful

at the fact that the people Of Bulacan
no longer misunderstood the objects
of the American government, which
solely was to secure for the people
the, blessings of civil liberty and TO
