/ idIty IN the City.
Again: il you adopt the ordinary method
of taxation, based on assessments, and you
consider the relative interests Of the city
so composed to the Country, you will find
that the former would be made to bear
the burden OF the tax. II the work be un-
dertaken by two commissions, working as
their interests are common, the city, on
its larger assessment, would find, let us
say, atwo mill tax sufficient to pay its
quota of the burden. A similar tax in the
country would bring insignificant results,
and the rural district would have to inn
pose either an acreage tax, or larger
miliage tax 50 as to do its share of the
paying. Each, however. would only pay
its share Of the work.
IL YOU work but one district, there can
be but one tax, and it requires no arga-
ment to prove, that New Iberia will be
taxed for things Il does not receive. or
there will be no work.

1000 people We're killed, over 1000
MANNED and crippled and the city of
Quesaltensngo, of 10000 people, de-

A man who was in Guatemala at the
time of the disturbance, whose coffee
plantation is only a few miles out from
Quesaltenango. was a passenger on the
City of Para. In speaking of the earth
quake he said: There were three dis

one preceding, but the damage was all
done within n minute and half.
Among the wealthier class the loss of
life was comparatively slight. prob
ably less than 10O though many were

Denver. May 2T,-Thc most cxten-

menced yesterday morning. when
about 1000 mechanics remained away
from their places OF employent In

trades council. which has undertaken
the task OF forcing the planning mill
owners to operate their plants ON the
eight-hour system. Upward of 1000
members OF unions worked during the
day. part OF them finishing work ON
buildings TO protect them from the
elements. and others having received
no instructions to strike from the lead
ers OF their organizations. To-day,
however. 1t Ii expected thar every me
chanic directly or indirectly affiliated
with the council Will stop work and
the strike will be complete. The be-
lief OF the bosses that the carpenters
would secedc from the building trades
council last night and thus break the
force of the strike, was not well
founded. for the carpenters voted to
endorse the council ana 90 out In n
body. All the other affiliated trades
did the same thing.
No one Interested processes to fore
see when the strikers will return TO
work. The woodworkers are faced by
the mill owners. who have pcrsistently
declared they will never concede the
demand OF the union for an elghi-hour
day made Mt the direction of the coun-
ell. The mill owners enjoy the pass
i've cooperation OF the contractors and
builders because to n great extent the

Manila, May 27.-The official find
ings of the court-martial that tried Ma
jor L. W. II. Waller and Lieutenant
John A. Day of the marine corps fol
executing natives ON the island of Sa
mar without trial. have been made
public. The reviewing authority OF
the court has expressed its dlsapprova
of the courts findings in both cases.
Referring to the case of Major Wal
Ter. the reviewing authority says:
''The sending of the natives in ques.
ton to their deaths partook more OF
unlawful retaliation than justifiable
act OF war. In justice to the Ameri.
can military service, the findings Of ac.
quittal demand that they shall not
meet with unqualified approval.
1.-The marines In Samar underwent
great suffering before their rescue and
their officers from their sick beds
voiced the revengeful anger of the
men, who telephoned to Major Waller
advising that the stevedores be killed.
Major Waller received this message
while he was sick from n fever, suffer
ing acute pain of body due to expos
ure. and his exertions in behalf of his
men and mental anguish concerning
their fate. which had long been in
doubt. Major Waller was at the time
In telephone communication with Gen
eral Smith, who commanded the Amer
lean forces In Samar, but he delib-
erately chose not to consult General
Smith regarding his contemplated ac-
ton, and rather than forego the execi-
ttnr, nf hia at, la
sumed power that the laws of war and
the customs OF the service confer upon
commanding officers only in time OF
war
Giving heed to the mental attitude
of Major Waller. as much of the find
ings OF the court as are to the effect
that Major Waller is not guilty of
murder are approved. But the review
ing authority is at loss TO under
stand why the court did not find
against Major Waller In the minor Of
Tense. With the exception noted. the
acquittal as II appears In the record OF
the proceedings is disapproved."
Referring TO the case OF Lieutenant
Day. the reviewing authority says:
'The accused knew that for three
weeks Major Waller had undergone

DEATH OF LORD PAuNcEEorE.
Distinguished British Ambassador
Dies of Asthma and rheumatism.


Washington, May 25.-Lord Paunce-
fote, British ambassador to the United
States, died at the embassy yesterday
morning at 5:35 o'clock.
At his bedside when the distin-
guished diplomat passed away We're
Mrs. Pauncefote, the Honorable Maude
Pauncefote, Miss Sibyl and Miss Aud
rey, DR.. Jung and Mr.. RadfOrd, one Of
the clerks attached to the embassy.
As soon as it became generally
known that Lord Pauncefote was dead,
flags were haif-masted over the diff
ferent embassies and legations. At the
Arlington hotel, where the visiting
Frenchmen who have come to witness
the Rochambeau statue unveiling are
stopping, the French flag was placed at
half mast.
All through the past winter Lord
PauncefOte had been sufferer from
intermittent attacks of asthma and
rheumatic gout, but he bravely kept
on his feet as much as possible, went to
the State Department regularly on dip
lomatic days and generally strove to
keep up his active duties, though it was
evident that the effort it caused him
was great. In the early part of March,
the ambassador went to North Carolina
on a visit to George Vanderbilt at Bilt-
more and stayed there for about a fort
night in the hope of recuperating from
his atfiction in the Carolina pines. He
returned to Washington about the mid
die of the month with his sufferings
but little abated. In April there came
another severe attack and from that
time until his death the ambassador
had been confined almost continuously
to his bed, and his strength had been
slowly but surely leaving him.
The office of dean of the diplomatic
corps at Washington now devOlves
upon DR.. Won Holleben, the German
ambassador, and upon him will fall the
duty of directing the diplomatic body's
action on this occasion. The entire dip
lomatic corps will attend the funeral in
a body.
