BOUQUET FOR THE REPUBLICAN,.

The Citizen never took seriously the report that George w. Dunn, or New York was to be made secretary Of the territory of Arizona. In the meantime it is but simple justice to admit that the people of Arizona owe debt of gratitude to the Phoenix Republican for its timely anu spirited protest against the suggestion that an outlander was to oe apr 0inted. It was the protest of the Phoenix Repub- lican that brought the prompt declara- tion from Washington that Arizonians were not to be treated as fliens.-Tuc- son Citizen,

.THIBETANs PAID DEARLY
Their General and Escort Killed in
Attack On the British.
The General Fired the First Shot,
and Then the Slaughter of the
Thibetans Began.

Tuna, Thibet, April 3.-The Thibetan
general, the whole of his personal es-
cort and FIVE Lhassa officials were
among the hundreds killed in the fight
ing of March 81 at Guru, Thibet.
The small British losses are ac-
counted for by the fact that the Thu
betans were so huddled together that
the majority were unable either TO use
their swords or to fire. The swords
men in the front rank could not reach
the sikhs, who had fixed bayonets,
while the men in the middle of the
mob could not reach the enemy, but
many of them probably killed each
other in the mad excitement. The
scene recalled oldtime fights in cock
pits, the grim, determined faces of the
Thibetans, lighted with devildom saw
agery, expressing contempt for the
slkhs, whom they outnumbered six
or seven to one.
General Fired First Shot.
When the Lhassa general fired the
first shot, the Thibetans with wild
shouts drew their swords, fired their
matchlocks and surged forward. About
a dozen swordsmen made a desperate
rush in the direction of Col. Macdonald
and small knot of officers. Four Thi-
betans attacked Mr.. Gambler, the cor
respondent of the London Daily l,-ail,
but Col. Macdonald seized rife and
shot down two of them at few yards
and another officer killed the other two,
thus saving Mr. Gamblers life. Those
of the Thibetans who tried to climb
the wall were met with a terrible mag
azine rifle fire, but they did not falter,
those behind springing over the heaps
of dead and continuing the fight until
riddled with bullets.
Retired Dogged1y.
When finally the Thibetans retired
they tramped back slowly and steadily,
though followed by a hail of bullets.
A mountain battery was brought into
action, and tore the retreating lines
with shrapnel. A terrible trail of dead
and dying marked the line of march.
At length, the last wounded, limping
Thibetan turned the corner, some 400
yards from the scene of the grim
tragedy, where the best Of the Thibetan
army had persisted.
