INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
Tribes Not Responsible for Work of
Organized Bands.

The United States Supreme Court today
decided two cases involving the question of
the responsibility of an entire tribe Of In
dians for depredations committed by or
ganiZed bands composed Of members of the
tribe, holding that in such cases there is no
liability. One of these cases was that OF
Montoya, and involved responsibility for
the operations of Victories band of
Apaches, and the other that of Connors,
involving the depreciation of Dull Knife's
band of Cheyennes, both occurring fifteen
o" twenty years ago, the first in New MeXi-
co and the others in Kansas and Nebraska
The opinion was handed down by Justice
Brown, and held that as the bands in both
cases We're strong CROUCH to break away
from their respective tribes and to defy
the United States government as they did
the tribes as a whole could not in equity be
held responsible for their misdeeds.

THE ASPHALT WAR.
Additional Effort to Make This Gov

Mr.. Delaney Nichol and Mr.. Lindsay,
New York attorneys. representing the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt Company,
spent half an hour today arguing before
Secretary Hay in favor of active support
by the United States government of that
companys contentious in the controversy
over the two asphalt concessions.
The Department of State knows nothing
officially of the reported organization by
the New York company of military force
in this country to protect its own interests In
Venezuela. With the latter company the
United States is on friendly terms, and it
could not allow our territory to be made
the base of operations against Venezuela, if
1t should be disclosed to the department
that these were of hostile intent. But If
the Venezuelan government does not make
complaint against the departure of the ex-
pedition referred to, IL is improbable that
any action win be taken here.

CLEVER THIEF coNFEssEs
And Takes Officers to Point in Water
Where He Sunk His Immense
Booty-Greater Part Found-CuI-
prit May be Rewarded Instead of
Suffering Prosecution.

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-Jack Win
tiers, who is under arrest for the Selby
smelling works robbery, has con-
fessed his crime and so far $142, 900
worth of bullion has been recovered
from the bay where he sunk it. SUI
perintendent Ropp of the works
brought strong pressure to bear on
Winters by telling him they had a
strong case against him and that he
would be sent to prison for a long
term during which time all the plum
der would be recovered because it was
known to be hidden in the water near
the works.
Winters finally weakened and told
Ropp he had taken the gold and
would conduct him to the spot where
1t was hidden. The criminal, in com.
pany with Ropp and a force of detec-
tives, left on a tug Friday night for
Crockett. There they waited all night
for low tide. Winters pointed out
place at the end of railroad wharf,
behind the coal bunkers at the begin
ming of the Vallejo ferry slip. At that
point at low tide the mud is about
four feet deep and covered by foot
of water. Yesterday morning Winters
himself got into the mud and water
up to his neck for an hour and half
and grouped for the missing bullion
The deep mud finally put stop to
the operations and it was decided to
build Golfer dam before trying to re-
cover the rest of the treasure. Win
tiers told the officers he planned the
robbery long ago with minute details.
He had been three months working
on the little tunnel. 1t had taken two
nights labor to cut through the brick
wall. Most of the boring in the bot
tom of the vault had been done on the
night when the gold was taken. He
carried the plumber from the vault to
the water about a quarter Of a mile,
making IA round trips Winters on
the last trip perceived the dawn was
breaking. Not daring to complete the
trip, he laid on the shore the two
bricks which we're found Tuesday
morning at the point where the rob
bers' boat was supposed to have land
ed. A trail of red pepper ending at
that point had been a blind. In view
of the fact that promises of clemency
were made to Winters in considera-
ton of his unearthing the gold, it is
thought his punishment will be light.
Detective Gibson is quoted as saying it
was promised Winters by President
Ralston of the Selby smelling works
that he should not only not be prose
cuted, but should receive $4,000.

CRIsPI NO MORE.
AIMED Italian Statesman Passes Away
at Naples.

at Naples.
Naples, Aug. 13.-Francesco Crispi,
former premier of Italy, died Sunday
evening. It is expected that the flu
neral will take place at Palermo.
Crispi was born at Riberian, Sicily,
in 1919. He was admitted to the bar
in 1841. Soon after he married the
daughter of his clearinghouse keeper,
the first Of a series of marriages, all
Of which were peculiar and more or
less attended with scandal.
A little later he crossed over to
Naples where he lived by writing and
practicing law, and where he COM
menced conspiring against Ferdinand
II. with a band of young enthusiasts
calling themselves young Italy. An
instruction was organized at Naples,
Messina and Palermo, which failed,
and being regarded as the chief in a
long list Of prescribed persons he was
obliged to leave Sicily. He escaped
from Palermo to Marseilles From
way to Turin, where he lived some
time by his wits, but chiefly by con-
spiracy and writing diatribes against
the rich and powerful.
His suspicious actions soon caused
his arrest and Imprisonment, which
brought about his second marriage,
his first wife having died before he
left Palermo.
His second spouse was his washer
woman, of whom he became enamored
during his confinement, and the rite
was celebrated at Malta, where the
couple fed after he was released.
Continuing to conspire at Malta he
was obliged to leave the island and
go to London. Here he made the ac-
quaintance of Mazzini, whom he left
TO go to Paris to conspire against
Louis Napoleon. He was there at the
time Of the attempt by Orsini to blow
up the emperor with bombs. He re-
turned to London few months after
ward and was again associated with
MaZzini.
Returning to Italy disguised as an
old man and wearing blue spectacles,
he assisted in the uprising in southern
Italy under Garibaldi which overthrow
the king of Naples and gave the two
Sicilies to Victor Emmanuel After
Rome became the capital Of Italy he
went there and founded the Riforma.
In due time he became president of
the chapter of deputies, and finally
succeeded Depretis as prime minister.
His third marriage caused a great
scandal in Italy. Crispi was accused
in many quarters of having committed
bigamy. He resigned his position as
deputy, demanded a trial, and was &C
quilted.
