WAS ONE OF THE LYNCHERS
William McDaniers Confession, Made
 on His Deathbed

Redding-Just before he died Will liam Mcdaniel, young man of Look out, Modoc county, is said to have confessed that he participated in the lynching of the five men at Lookout in April, 1901. McDaniel, it is stated, has been slowly dying ever since from blow in the stomach from Frank Hall, one of the men lynched. Me- Daniels alleged confession was to the effect that he was one of the mob which did the celebrated lynching.
 "As he went to take the five men away from the place of their deten- tion, the dying man is said to have whispered huskily to those gathered about him, Crank Hall, one of the five dealt me "a kick in the abdomen which was the cause of my fatal ill., neSs."

were taken to the hospital and their injuries dressed. The dead were brought to Pensacola.
 Some claim the explosion was caused by defective shell and others think that the frequent firing of the piece at Culebra during the winter added to the work done here during the past ten days so strained the piece that the force of the charge burst the gun.

THAT CHINESE INDEMNITY
Our Government Determined Not to
 be Influenced by Other Powers

Washington-Evidently much mis- understanding continues regarding the bonds which China is to execute to the United States in payment of the indemnity for the Boxer outrages provided in the protocol of April, 1 1900. The statement from Picking that the American fiscal agent, under in structions from the state department, is substituting bond providing for the payment of the indemnity in gold dollars instead of silver bond, is de- nied in authoritative quarters.
 Our government is disposed to take it's own views of the interpretation of the terms of the protocol. This pro- vided that China should execute to the United States an indemnity bond at the rate of exchange provided in the protocol, and it was also provided that the installments of the indemnity payable thereafter should be at the rate of exchange existing when the payment fell due. If the United States, desiring to avail itself of the loss which China should suffer in these payments as result of the de- preciation in silver, prefers to de- mand them at the rate of exchange existing when the protocol was signed, that, it is held, is a matter which
Holbrook argus., 1903-04-18

concerns us alone and leaves the other powers to do as they please.
 The instructions of the department of state to its representative in China who is conducting the negotiations relative to the settlement of the in demnity, look to the retention of independence while faithfully carry ing out the engagements entered into by the United States in the Picking agreement.

DEATHOF N0TEDC CH|NAMAN
REAL AUTHOR OF ANTI-FOREIGN
 OUTBREAK IN PEKIN
Many Consider That the Dowager Empress Was Entirely Under His Domination-dis Wonde;- ful Rise to Power and Influence

Peking-Yung Lu, the controller of finances and first grand secretary is dead. He has been suffering for some time past from dropsy and was known to be critically ill. A month ago he asked permission to retire from office, but the dowager empress urged him to take rest instead.
 Yung Lu was Manchu and at the time of the beginning of the Boxer outbreak was viceroy of the province of Pc Chi Lii and generalissimo of the Chinese army. He was then said to be the most powerful man in China, his influence being even greater than that of Lii Hung Chang. Since the death of the latter Yung Lu has more than once been represented as dictat- ing the policy of the dowager empress and emperor.
 The rapid rise of Yung Lu from a small military command to be viceroy of Pc Chi Li and later to be one of the highest counselors of the dowager empress, is said to be unprecedented. He obtained his post of generalissimo as reward for crushing the reform party in China.
 Yung Lu was said to be the real author of the anti-foreign outbreak in Pekin and Tien Tsin and he con- manded the best disciplined of the troops which opposed the allies. This latter fact was recalled by foreigners when in 1901 he was awarded the two- eyed peacock feather for protecting foreigners against the Boxers. Yung Lu's death removes the greatest power in the government of China except the dowager empress, and many consider that the dowager empress was under his domination. While outwardly friendly to foreigners since he re- turned to court, there is no reason to believe that Yung Lu was really less bitter against them than when he was one of the leaders of Boxerism.
 His death was largely due to his refusal to consult any foreign physi- elan until almost in extremis, when he called in the doctor of the Japanese legation.

BIG GUN EXPLODES
The Pieces Fall Through the Deck
 Upon Men

Pensacola, Fla.-A disastrous ex- plosion occurred on the battleship Iowa Thursday while the vessel was at target practice in the gulf. The for ward port 12 inch gun burst from a premature explosion of shell, twelve feet of the outside of the turret being demolished. Three men were killed and five injured, two seriously.
 The men killed or injured were on the second or gun deck at mess. Three pieces of the exploded gun, each weighing over ton, passed downward through the spar deck, falling upon the men at mess, instantly killing three. All of the three men were horribly mutilated. The heavy mis- siles, after passing through the gun deck, continued down to the third deck, where they came in contact with the armored deck, the heavy steel bringing them to stop, thus saving the engineers and fremen who were at work below.
 Although the upper decks were covered with men none were seriously injured. The explosion occurred just as mess had been sounded. The firing was to have ceased after the shot for the dinner hour. The range had been set and the Iowa was steaming along at speed of twelve knots an hour when the officer in charge of the 12- inch turret gave orders to load and fire. The time fuse was set, the piece charged, the breech closed and the word given to fire. Following the re- port of the gun there was a smothered noise as the shell exploded midway in the gun and pieces of the burst gun and shell were scattered broadcast. Three great holes were torn through the deck.
 The Massachusetts, six miles distant was signaled for aid and one of the cutters put off with surgeon and assistant surgeon. The injured men

Keswick-At North Fork, in Trinity county, large rock rolled down the mountain side, Thursday, a distance of three-quarters of mile, and landed on the cable suspension bridge, span ming the Trinity river at that point. The bridge was practically demolished. The Weaverville stage had passed over the bridge about fifteen minutes be- fore.

YAQUIS TAKE SCALPS
Four Italians and a Mexican Guide
 Murdered

Murdered
 Nogales, Ariz.-A dispatch from Torin, Sonora states that the murder ous Yaquis have been committing fresh depredations in that vicinity.
 Saturday, near Corcorit, small place in the Yaqui river country, four prospectors and a Mexican guide were surprised and murdered by the h. dians. The murdered men were we'll to-do Italians, who had come to Sonora to engage in mining and had organized an exploration party at Guaymas. The party was composed of six Italians and Mexican guide. They were we'll equipped and started out to hunt for valuable mineral de- posits in some of the remote and unex- plored sections. The entire party was camped in deserted hut some dis tance from Corcorit when the assault was committed. They were not many miles from the spot where Fiiberto Alvarado and his family were attacked and murdered by the hostile Indians a short time ago. The party was taken by surprise shortly after daybreak, when the Indians fell upon it and be- gan their work of slaughter.
 The two men who escaped were little distance off at the time the assault was committed, and being unarmed, could not go to the assis- tance of their brethern nor did they dare to reveal their presence.
 There were not more than ten h. dians in the attacking band, but the small party in the hut were not able to withstand the onslaught. Although surprised they rushed to their arms and made some defense but were soon overwhelmed.
 The survivors report that the Indians not content with murdering the white men and purloining their effects, mutilated their bodies in horrible manner.
 The Indians in the mountains north of the Yaqui river have been commit ting many depredations of late, and some determined step will have to be taken to check them. The murderers of Alvarado were never captured and since that time several parties of trav- elers and miners have been attacked, but succeeded in escaping with their lives.
 These parties of murderous Indians are different from the ordinary Yaqui, who works on the ranches and in the mines. It is these men who instigate the peaceful members of their tribe to take to the warpath and they are a remnant of the bands who escaped from the last rebellion and took refuge | ln the mountains. They are last vestige of the Yaqui warriors who re- fuse to be subdued. In other parts of | Sonora the Indians are more quiet than | in years. General Torres is engaged in 3 political campaign for civil govern ment of the state of Sonora and no active attempt will be made to rid the country of these murderous and rowing bands north of the Yaqui river country until after the coming elec- tion.
