MADE FULL CONFESSION.
Benjamin J. Goe the Man Who Killed McIn.
tyre at ChehaIis, Wash.

Chehalis, Wash, Oct. BY clever
detective work the murderer of Ed
ward Mcintyre has been run to earth,
and he now rests in the Kalama coun-
ty jail, having made full confession
of the shooting. Benjamin ]. Goe
is the man who was arrested for the
crime, and who has admitted that he
is the guilty man. He was taken into
custody by Sheriff Huntington at
Winlock, few miles from the
Patterson hop yard at Olequa, where
the murder took place. Detective
Sam Simmons, of Portland, was
the leading spirit in the forces that
have been working on the case. He
arrived last week and went quietly to
work. The one fact more than any
other that led to Goes arrest was the
discovery of the bullet and the hole
made by one Of the shots fired. by him
the evening of the murder. The de-
tective and his assistants surveyed
the line Of this shot and found that
it could have come from nowhere else
than Goes doorway With this evi-
dence to support their suspicious,
the authorities determined to arrest
all the members of the Goe family.
This was done. Warrants were
sworn out in Kelso, and the whole
family was corraled on Sunday even.

BURNED IN A MINE
DAMAGE is LARGE AND FLAMES
CANNOT BE CHECKED.
Twelve Men Have Been Lost-Thsy Entered
to Subdue the Fire and Could Not Get
Back-pit Lamp the Cause of the Dis.
astsr-The Mine May Be Ruined and
Survivors Deprived Of Employment.

Nanaimo, B. c., Oct. 2.-Curtain
Extension mine No. 2 caught fire
from pit lamp at noon. The fire
extended to the woodwork and was
caught by an indraft and carried
through the mine. The men were
warned and all got out safely.
Twelve men who entered to subdue
the flames never came back. Three
others went after them. Then res
cue party was formed. They were
driven out by fire and smoke, one Of
them unconscious. Then the fire
attacked No. 8, which is connected
with No. 2. Several slight explosions
then occurred. Smoke poured out of
all the entrances. Flames from No.
2 shot up into the air. All hope for
the men In the mine is abandoned.
The mine is probably ruined. No
water is available, and there is NO
way OF extinguishing the fire except
by closing up the entrance, which
might cause terrible explosion. It
is feared that hundreds of men will
be thrown out of work.
Premier Dunsmuir, president of the
Wellington Coal company, which
operates the mines, left the royal re-
ception at Victoria and started for
the scene on a special engine. This
is the fourth disaster in the mines
here this year.

VENEZUELA in A BAD WAY.
No Payments Made on Indebtedness for
Three Years-People Are Suffering.

Caracas, Venezuela, via William
stad and Colon, Oct. 2. - The finan-
cial condition of Venezuela is best ex-
emplifed by the fact that the -repub-
lie has not paid interest on its foreign
or internal indebtedness for the past
38 months. Only two or three inn
porting houses at Caracas are paying
expenses, business is practically linn
tied to needed foodstuffs,i 7 many i'm
portant orders have been counter
manded, extreme lack of confidence
prevails in business circles, and the
immediate future contains nothing
promising. The general expecta-
tion-is that the financial situation
will become worse before it can i'm
prove. The war rumors have de:
creased imports and the government
is getting into more severe straits
to find money to meet the extraor-
binary expense incident to maintain
ing the army on the frontier.
Among the people the suffering from
the hard times is greater. The sala-
ries of all the government civil en-
piOyCo nave UceH CuV III 'udll, Uut
even this is not now paid.
Since the>reverses at Guaiira, the
government has been transferring
its attention. to the San Cristobal
country, south of Maracaibo, and is
sending arms, men and 750, 900
rounds of ammunition from Caracas to
Barquesimeto, where the interior
forces are converging The feeling
of the country against President
Castro is growing stronger every day.
The country's discomfort at General
Castro's dictatorship is evidenced by
many comparatively Insignificant
signs, but they plainly fortelI a grow
ing revolution. A rupture between
Colombia and Venezuela would give
the revolutionary element the desired
.chance to attack the government.
The president recognizes discomfort
existings and is taking measures to
meet whatever revolutionary exigen-
cies may arise.

ROW AT M'KiNLEY'S VAULT.
Guard Shot at aSuspicious Man. When An
other Attempted to Stab Him.

Canton, O., Oct. IA strange
story comes from Westlawn cemetery
tonight, where..a company of regulars
from Fort Wayne are guarding the
vault in which the body of the late
President Mckinley lies. 1t is to the
effect that the guard on duty on top
of the vault fired a shot at one man
who refused to heed his challenge;
that the shot was diverted by another
man who appeared from another di-
rection, and that an effort was made
to stab the guard. Military regula-
tions prevent either the officers or
men of the post from being quoted
on any matter connected with their
service. and for this reason Captain
Biddle, who is in command, was
obliged to decline to be quoted at the
camp tonight. He will make a full
report to his superiors at once. Re-
liable authorities made the following
statement:
Private Deprend was on guard
duty on top of the vault at point
commanding the entrance below and
the approach from the rear. Shortly
before I 80 he saw what he took to be
he face Of a man .peering from be-
hind tree about 40 feet from his
post. He watched it for 20 minutes,
he says, and at 7:45 saw the man
hurry to tree 10 feet nearer. He
challenged the man to halt but this
was not needed, and the fellow ap-
preached nearer. Deprend leveled
! his gun and aimed to shoot for effect,
but just at that instant another man,
who came towards him from the op-
posite side, caught the gun, threw it
up, and the bullet : as spent in the
air. This same man struck Deprend
on the right side of the abdomen with
a knife or other sharp weapon, cutting
an Il" shaped cash in his overcoat
an inch and a half long each way,
and smaller one in his blouse. The
flesh was not broken, but was bruised
under the clothes. Deprend, in the
struggle, fell and rolled down the
side of the vault. Lieutenant Ash
bridge, officer. of the day, was in from
of the vault, tand rushed to the top OF
hearing the shot, but the men mad,
!. good their escape All members o
the company on hearing the shot
hurried to the vault, and beside
searching the cemetery, the guart
was increased"

AN UNUSUAL CASE.
Severe Punishment of Soldier for Abusing
the Late President.

Washington, Oct. "A most unus-
ual case reported to the war depart
ment is. that of Private Peter J. De-
vine of Troop H, Eleventh Cavalry, who
was tried by a general court martial
at Fort Ethan Allen, VT, on the
charge of using disrespectful words
against the president of the United
States, in violation of the 14th article
of war. 1t appears -from the evi
dence that when the news of the
shooting of President Mckinley was
received at Fort Ethan Allen, Devine
expressed great satisfaction over the
crime, and applied an uncompliment-
airy epithet to the late president.
His comrades handled him roughly
before he could be secured in the
guard house. He was found guilty
|S,y the court, and sentenced to be dis
henorably discharged from the SER
vice of the United States, forfeiting
all pay and allowance due him, and to
be confined at hard labor for one year.
The record of the case having been
referred to Major General Brooke at
New York, commanding the depart
ment Of the East, he endorsed it and
said:
It is not within the power of the
reviewing authority to increase the
punishment. but in order that the
prisoner may not wholly escape pu n
ishment, the ksentence is approved
and will be duly executed at Fort
Columbus, n. j., to which; place the
prisoner will be sent under proper
guard. I"
General Brooke's action in the case
is final, and the record is simply sent
to the war department for filing.

Attacked While a. Brs.kf.st-onIy "a Mem.
bsrs of the Company Escaped. and
Eleven We're Wounded-Entre Supply

the Insurgents.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The war de-
partment has received the following
dispatch from Gen. Chaffee:
Manila, Sept. 3O.-Adjutant
General, Washington: Hughes re-
ports the following from Basey, South
ern Samar: 'Twenty-four men, in
Ninth Regiment, United States In
fantry, wounded, have just arrived
from Balangigs, remainder of the
company killed. Insurgents secured
all the company supplies and all rifles
except IL. Company was attacked
on morning of Sept. %; company 72
strong. "CHAFFEE"
The news of the disastrous fight
was sent promptly by General Hughes,
commanding in that island, to General
Chaffee at Manila, and by him trans
mitted to the war department.. It
reached the department. during the
early hours today, and Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin, realizing its Importance,
at once made it public, after sending
a copy to the White House.
The news created a sensation in
official circles. 1t was the first severe
reverse that has occurred for long
time. Still, the officials were not un-
prepared for the news of just this
character from Samar, in which the
revolution started by Aguinaldo still
continues. Samar is country about
as large as the state of Ohio and the
American forces of occupation num-
Der in all between 1000 and $500
men. They are distributed among
various posts in the island, large
number being located at the more i'm
portant centers.
Spain never made any effort to oc-
cupy Samar and it has only been
for probably three months past that
the United States has undertaken that
work. The latest report made by
General Hughes to the war depart
ment was that the number of insur-
gent rifles in the island aggregated
about 800.
The Filipinos carried on a guerrilla
warfare and operations against them
were difficult.
The disaster to Company G of the
Ninth Infantry occurred it is believed
while it was engaged in an expedition
to clear the country of rowing bands
OF, these insurgents. Immediately on
receipt of the dispatch Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin cabled General Chaffee to
send a complete report of the fight
and list of the casualties.

STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
Attempt to Tie Up the Chicago Elevated
Road Was Failure.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The strike on the
South Side Elevated road was practic-
ally declared off. Believing that they
would not be able to force the officials
of the company to grant the conces-
sion demanded, members of the en-
ploye's union began deserting the
ranks of the strikers and asking to be
reinstated. The strike leaders will not
admit that their forces are weaken
ing. The company moved trains
during the day with little difficulty.

to have been placed on the rails by
strikers nearly caused serious acci-
dent to one of the trains tonight.
The cars were loaded to overflow
ing and several persons were more
or less injured in the panic that at
tended the smashup.
