dropped down the river in small boat and soon after they were gone a man at Yuma said that Robinson had asked him, in confidence. in the course of a month to cause tslegrams to be sent to the leading papers of the country, announcing that Lieutenant" R. E. L. Robinson had been killed and eaten by the savages of Tiburon. Robinson's request was known in Phoenix before the boat had time to reach the island. There was nothing surprising about it. for once when Robinson was living in Phoenix he planned a trip down the Gila to Yuma in a period of high Wa ter. and he had arranged with a corre- spondent here to announce the over turning of his boat and his drown ing.
 The word finally got out somehow that the Robinson party had been killed on Tiburon. but nobody believ .d it. As matter of fact, when the irst rumor was published the Ro5irsol party had not been heard from.
 But in about a month from the tima of the departure of the expedition. enc of the members of the party reach ed Guaymas and said that Robinson and the other man had been killed by the Indians. He said that the boat touched at the island one night and the next morning crowd of the In dians came down to the shore. Both the Indians and Robinson could speak enough Spanish to carry on d con- Versation in the course of which Rob ir.son asked about hunting on tine isl land. The Indians replied that there was a great deal of game behind the hills. pointing to low range at some distance from the shore. Robinson ad- vised tying up the boat and going ashore. The survivor opposed the plan, but Robinson and the other man ac- ccmpanied the Indians. In a l:ttle while some of the Indians came back to the shore and urged the man in the boat to join the hunting party. When he refused the manner Of the Indians became threatening.
 At this instant the man in the boat saw Robinson's companion running to- ward the boat, pursued by party of II dians. He appeared to. have been wounded. He was Overtaken and kill ed. The survivor worked his way away from the island and finally reach Cd Guaymas.
 This story was not believed at first. in fact. for nearly a year afterWard it was supposed to be part of Robin s0n':' plan to get notCriety- It re C. IVed some corrcbOration at length from persons who had met parties Of the island Indians on the mainland.

THE ISLAND OF TIBURON
The Tragic Death of R. E. L. Robin
 son Recalled.

The Washington Post lately received the following important if true teie- praphic informa tion from Tucson:
 Tucson, Ariz., July 25.-A party of miners from this city, returning from Guaymas, report the arrival of q de- tachment of MeXicans. with six rrison- CTS from Tiburon island. The Indians are charged with murder and canni- baIism.
 "A party of Mexican prOspectors who landed on the island two weeks ago are said to have been captured and killeU and partly eaten by the Indiars. The Mexican government sent punitive expedition to the island. The soldiers had a fight with the Indians, and. according to the story from GuaE- mas, killed q number and captured six, who are now in prison at Quay mas. The Indians are described as large. strong. of dark complexion. and wear long hair"
 There is, perhaps, no part of the western continent of which so many fanciful stories have been told as that little and unimpOrtant island in the gulf of California. The stories of can- nibalism were generally believed until about seven years ago. when the isl- ana was N1SlteQ DE PrO1eSSOr w. d. MGee, the famous ethnologist of Washington, D. C., who had been sent there by the government. reporter for The Republican met Professor M'Gee at Tucson on his return from the island. He said he had ascer- tained that cannibalism was not prac- ticed there: that the natives were not particularly dangerous. but that they were jealous of strangers and desired to be let alone.
 The visit of Professor Niece to the island was inspired by the result of the ill-fated Robinson expedition. R. E. L. Robinson at one time connected with The Republican, and a sensation al correspondent for several outside papers. by the way. is perhaps the originator of the story of cannibalism in Tiburon and his tragic end there might be believed to be the continuation of poetic justice.
 About eight years ago he fitted out at Yuma an expedition to visit Tibu- ron. He kept the world informed of the fact and he dweit upon the danger ous character of the inha bitants of the island. The expedition consisted of himself and two other men. They

Sunday Ball,

A New York magistrate has decided
that base ball played on Sunday is
legal, if there is no real disturbance
of the ''repose and religious liberty
of community. He classes golf,
driving, bicycling, etc.. all of which
are INDUCED in on Sunday, along
with base ball, and implies that if one
amusement is to be stopped the others
should be. He holds that public opin-
ion has greatly changed since the anti
amusement statutes We're enacted.
which is undoubted true. At the same
time magistrates are not supposed to
make the law but to enforce them. If
changes are needed the legislature
should be asked to make them.

CUBANS DISPLEASED
They Don't Like Protectionist 0ppo-
sition to Reciprocity Treaty.

Havana. June 23.-News has reached
here Of renewed opposition by the protec-
tionists In the United States to the con-
firmation of the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
particularly unwelcome in Cuba at this
juncture, as 1t had been hoped that the
Cuban senate, before the adjournment of
the present session, would ratify all trea-
ties pending with the United States.
Altho Cuba Is bound, under the Platt
amendment to carry out all the other
pending treaties, it is feared that some
senator's may, make the additional diff
culties that reciprocity is encountering at
Washington an excuse for letting the rati-
ficatfon of the other treaties go over until
the winter session of the Cuban congress.
The treaty covering the leases of naval
and coaling stations to the United States,
the signing of which is expected to take
place to-day, provides that the United
States shall advance any moneys neces-
sary for the requirement by Cuba of such
private lands as are necessary for the
purpose of the stations. the same to be
deducted from the $1,000 annual rental
due to Cuba.

RAILROADS.
MAKING MILEAGE BOOKS
Southwestern and Western Bureaus Hold
Meetings for the Purpose.

Chicago, June 23.-General passenger
agents of the railroads forming the south
western interchangeable mileage bureau
held a special meeting here yesterday to
consider the adoption of new style OF
ticket. From the outset the old ticket
proved failure. While conductors
could not improperly manipulate 1t in the
interest OF. passengers, it forced the pas
sengers to pay in advance $50 and take
the chance of losing the ticket by care
lessness, theft or otherwise.
A satisfactory form for a new book
was not suggested and an adjournment
was taken until to-day.
The Western Association bureau will
act on the mileage question Friday. Ac-
ton will be taken on the executive COM
mittee report called for at Thursday S
meeting.
The report recommends the adoption OF
1000 mile form Of Interchangeable
ticket substantially the same as the
northern Michigan form; this ticket to be
sold at $50 with refund of $3.50. 1t
further recommends the discontinuance OF
the present 2,000-rnie ticket as we'll as
of the sale of the interchangeable mile
age credential.
