Die After Encounter on the
Apache Reservation.

Holbrook. Ariz.. June a1.-News reached
here of a desperate battle between cattle
men on the Apache Indian Reservation, ten
miles south of Holbrook, in which Henry
Barrett was killed and Prime Coleman was
probably fatally wounded.

issued at certain times in the year, and are
Of considerable value. only limited num-
Der Of cattle being allowed on the reserva-

badly bruised about the head by blows from
Barretts six-shooter. Coleman was still
alive at last report. but there is very little
hope for his recovery.

to increase the library tax rate from Is
to 2-5 of a mill
The task then before the Board of Di.
rectors was to raise about 10000 to com.
plete the payment for the block bounded
by Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Olive and Lo-
Gust streets. or, to secure enough to pay
the bonds, interest and floating debt of the
Exposition Company and also to obtain the
necessary order from the Municipal Assem-
bly,.
With some effort the ordinance was Sc
cured. The money was easily and quickly
raised. The directors of the st. Louis Union
Trust Company undertook that part of It.
The sale, however, did not take place for
year; and, then. since by the ordinance
the site could not be used after the Worlds
Fair, the subscribers decided to paw nv
installments. Thus it was not until April of
this year that the amount advanced by the
trust company could be repaid and a clear
title to the assets OF the Exposition Sc
cured
This being done. the proper form of ac-
ceptance by resolution of the Library Board
and City Council was sent to Mr.. Carnegie
on May II.

SIX THOUSAND MEN KILLED
BY MOROCCAN INSURGENTS
FL Mnehhi the Minister War 1t Is Reported Tanger Has
Been Utterly Defeated in Battle With the Pretend
Blu ADMINISTRATIONS Reports of the Death


Madrid. June 1.-According TO a dispatch
received here, from Tangier, Fl Menehh.
the Moorish Minister of War. has lost $3.50
men in a battle fought with the rebels at
Amniedienna.
: From the same source on February 12 a
report was resolved that Fl Menehhi had
been killed in a battle with the rebels led
by Blu Hamara, the pretender TO the throne.
Since the rebellion began in Morocco sew
craI months ago. and the pretender gave
battle at the gates OF Fee. one of the most
active in the campaign against the rebels
has been Ell Menehhi. who, in addition TO
being the Minister of War, is considered
the closest political friend in the household
of the Sultan.
II was Ell Menehhi who was sent to the
coronation of King Edward. On that occa-
sion the British cruiser Diadem was placed
at his disposal for the trip. The Moorish
Secretary of War brought with him reti-
rue OF twenty-nine persons, including few
wives.
The rebellion in Morocco is said to have
been caused by the Sultan being too pro-
gressive. In the last few years he has in
troduced telephones. railroads, newspapers
and bicycles into his dominion, and made an
effort to abolish torture of prisoners.
On one occasion the Sultan was cooped

report has been circulated for some
time that 1t was arranging to use the Bur-
lngton rails into st. Louis. but this is not
generally accredited. as the burlington has
been fighting this road in the Northwest
territory and especially at Omaha for sine
time. and it is not thought that a peace
sufficient for an arrangement of this sort
can be effected
The most plausible theory as to the pro-
posed arrangement IS the purchase or lease
of the G., p. & st. L.. which has nearly go
miles of trackage and is said to be on the
market.
The c.. p. & st. L. is not owned by any
of the large systems. and its stock is GEN
orally thought to be in teh hands of foreign
capitalists.
officials of the Burlington deny emphatic
ally that any arrangement of this sort is be
ing effected
The Chicago. Milwaukee and St Paul
owns and operates 5000 miles of road and
neighborhood of $500 per MOLE as a St
LOpuis line to the North 1t would be a val
liable acquisition and a formidable COM
petitor to the lines now controlling that
traffic.

ter, which is self-explanatory. was received

the proper authority power to draw up
on Mr.. Carnegie's banker for money to be-

The letter was signed in Andrew Car
negies handwriting.
No time will be lost in starting the work,
the site has been provided, and the tax
payers have willingly come forward with
an appropriation that will moro than take
care of the institution.
1t will be remembered that about two
years ago Andrew Carnegie, millionaire
steel magnate and philanthropist, offered
the city sl,0co.coo for central library and
branches, providing the people OF st. Louis
would agree 10 two conditions: That the an
nual revenue OF the library be increased to
sliD,O9, and that a suitable site be pro-
yided.
The first requirement was met within two
weeks. when, at the regular municipal cleo
ton, the people voted, by a large majority.
