salvador Has Ignored Award.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The man. ner in which the special commission to pass on the El Triunfo claim per formed it's duty are likely to culminate in sharp measures between the United States and the republic of Salvador. The El Triunfo claim grows out of the failure in business of syndicate of San Francisco capitalists who under took to build docks and develop the harbor at the port of that name in Sal vador. The Salvador government, claiming that the Americans had not kept the conditions of the concession, confiscated their property. This action constitutes the basis of the claim.

SAN MiGuEL's DEATH.
Filipino Bandit and His Band Re

sisted to the Last.
 WASHINGTON, May 5.-Reports re- ceived at the war department give ad- ditional details of the campaign which resulted in the death of General San Miguel and the utter rout of his band of outlaws by the Philippine scouts commanded by Lieutenants Nickerson and Reese.
 The scouts located San Migueps band about half way between Caloocan and Mariquina in a strongly fortified cor ral and blockhouse built by the Span iards many years ago and so well con- cealed by jungle that it had escaped discovery. Lieutenants Nickerson and Reese and their men made a gallant attack on this stronghold under a very heavy fire from the enemy through loopholes in the wall surrounding the blockhouse. The scouts charged over the wall and engaged the enemy in hand to hand combat, driving them into the fort. In this assault Lieuten- just below the groin.
 San Miguel, surrounded by devoted bodyguard of about thirty men, under took to slip through the line but on be- ing discovered put up plucky running fight. Lieutenant Nickerson, with if teen men, attacked San Miguel's party, but withheld their fire until within short range, when they put three bull lets through San Miguel's body. San Miguel died gamely, shooting while ly- ing on the ground wounded.
 Six of his bodyguard were killed. The remainder escaped in the dense jungle.
 The fight lasted about an hour and half. The Americans lost three killed and ten wounded, including Lieuten- ant Reese. The enemy lost forty dead that were counted, and the jungle con cealed other killed and wounded. No prisoners were taken. Many valuable papers were found on the body of the dead and were said to contain evidence against several prominent officials in the province.

 Probe Tn Vain.

BUFFALO, May 5.-John H. Costek To, capitalist mine owner and lumber merchant, who was shot in the back and seriously wounded yesterday aft ernoon by his wife in the corridor of the fourth floor of the Prudential build- ing, is still living.
 The surgeons at the hospital probed for the bullet in Costello's back for some time last evening, but they were unable to locate it.
 "It's hard to say just how serious the wound Is just yet" said one of them. Tt may be fatal, but the chances are in favor of recovery" He rested easily last night.

They have been separated for several years, during which time repeated litigation has been engaged in. Mrs. Costello has made. frequent attempts to gain possession of her children and, it is alleged, has more than once tried to kidnap them.

Advantage-An Antimonopoly
 Law Recommended.
 BOSTON, May 5.-While recognizing that the primary cause of the high price of coal last winter was the strike and the secondary cause the seizure of the eastern markets by the independent operators, the legislative coal investi- gating committee, which has just filed its report, finds that in many cases To- cal dealers in Massachusetts took ad- vantage of this situation to exact from the public the highest prices obtainable without reference to the question of whether or not they were obtaining fair profit. The committee also finds that the opportunity for this action by the local dealers was greatly facilitated by the general existence throughout the commonwealth of coal clubs, so called
 The committee recommends a bill preventing such monopolses as well as a bill providing for the public weighing of coal and in conclusion recommends that the testimony be referred to the attorney general, and if he finds that there is sufficient evidence of violation
 :. of existing law he to institute prosecu- tions.
 In its report the committee states that it has held public hearings and ex- amined sos witnesses and that as the coal situation in Boston and vicinity was more or less typical of the situa- ton within the commonwealth it was examined with particular care. @aAs
 The supply of coal arriving at Boston from domestic sources for 1902 was 1,O34,47S tons short of the supply in 1901. This shortage was, however, par Hally made up by an increase in re- ceipts of foreign coal of 5O5, ,255 tons. It appears, therefore, that though the net shortage was not inconsiderable, 1t was much less than the well nigh pro- hibitive prices prevailing during the past winter would seem to have indi- cated.

Be- fore the inmates of the house had all been informed of it, one of the little girls came to speak to him, and when he made answer only through signs she was frightened, believing he had gone out of his right mind.
