Frank Zapeda, the deputy sheriff of Agua Caliente who shot H. A McDon- aid at the springs last Friday. is an occupant of the woman's cell at the county jail. He is badly broken up over the death of Mcdonald, whom h. believed until Saturday night to be. en- ly slightly wounded. He says that he could not have done otherwise if he were placed in the same position in which he found himself when he wc5 ouarreling with Mcdonald. for he be- Heved then that he was shooting 10 save his own life. Speaking vester- day of his Imprisonment, he slid that he was the first member of his fam fly that had ever been locked mp.
 Sheriff Cook left on Saturday night for Agua Calie1te to subPoena. wit nesses for the examination of z 2peda on the charge of shooting with intent to kill That hearing was set for Tuecdey.

 Zapeda must ifeVe left the sprirg5 immediately after the shooting. ard before he had asceTtained the extent of McDonald's injuries. A letter was received at his office yesterday from the springs. which. though it was writ ten before the death of McDon, ld, de- scribed the wound as certainly mortal.

THE U. v. TAX CASE
Judge Sloan Decides That the Super
 visors Could Not Compromise.

Judge Sloan on Saturday handed down his decision in the tax crse, in which the Unite1 Verde complny 2 nd the district attorney were at logger heads over the payment of taxes for the year 1902 by the United Verde re J. pie oveTruling the demurrer present. ed by the attorney for the suDervis s7Is, says the Prescott Herald. The act on Gf Judge Sloan means that in his opin- ion the supervisors exceeded their er- thCrity in comp, Jmising the taxes CT the big mining company after the time limit had expired for the board to sit IS a board of equalization. The re- duction made by the beard in t3e taxes of the company for the year 1903 is not affected by the decision. Wallace Will lard levied the assessment that caused the trouble. The supervisors reduced the assessment from about s1, 1,250,0OO to ahout SSS0.O0O. The above figures are s-mply for the property owned by the corporation.
 The supervisors compromised the taxes assessed against the company and the treasurer accepted the gay

Where Civilization Kills.

The latest group of people to be killed off by civilization is that in habiting the Engano islands, south of Sumatra. Until lately tfiey were simply savages. There we're 5,COO of them in 1854. There are but 5CO left at present.
 Japanese health official went over to learn what was the matter. He found that cut of 112 married couples e had no children. 1T had oply one, s had only two. had thrse and 6 had four. Yet the islanders are healthy and strongly built.
 The cause of the falling off, in the doctors opinion, lay in too close cen tact of late with foreigners.
 The same thing has been noticed ia the Sandwich Islands. Under suci circumstances backward races in a few years rush through development which more advanced nations reach in centuries. Fifteen years ago the En- gano islanders went about without clothes and lived in small huts like beehives. Now they wear Malay cos tune and hve in houses. A quicker overturn cannot be imagined. Primi- tive races cannot stand such char-2s.

Service Pensions by Bureau Ruling,

Congress having manifested dis position to defer action as to service pension legislation for the session, a
 Washington dispatch says that se-
 rious consideration is being given a
 proposition so to liberalize the inter pretation of the present pension laws as to obviate entirely the necessity of a new service pension act, while all reasonable demands of the veterans are at the same time complied with.
 The attention of Pension Commis- siorer Ware has been called to the fact that the pension law of 1887 allowed all
 veterans O fthe Mexican war who had reached the age of sixty-two pension of $S per month. That was thirty nine years after the expiration of the war named. In interpreting pension laws it is rule of the pension office to re- gard all acts as practically one act
 so construed the act of 1887 as to imply desire on the part of congress to give all veterans who have reached sixty-two years of age, thirty nine fought, a pension of SS d month. Under the act of 1890 pension of SIP month Is allowed to all veterans who are total ly unable to perform manual labor, and who have no adequate means of sup port. In construing this law the pen sion office has adopted a regulation allowing veterans who have reached the age of ,seventy-five and who are III need SIP month, assuming that after that age they are unable to earn their own living and are, virtually, totally disabled"
 Setting the age at seventy-fve is by regulation of the pension office under existing law, and it is contended, there fore, the age could be reduced or that a graduated scale could properly be adopted whereby veterans who have reached the age of sixty-two shall re- ceive sS a month merely on proof gf their age and need. veterans of seventy s1O a month and veterans of seventy five SIP a month. By some it is said that these figures ought to be changed somewhat so as to allow the SIP pen- sion at an earlier age and other in creases in proportion, but most mem bers of congress are agreed that more liberal construction of the present law would be preferable to the enactment of new law, especially as such a law would meet with serious opposition in the senate, and would. if passed. pos sibly go farther than circumstances warrant.
 Opinion as to the final outcome of present deliberations is pretty evenly divided. some holding that new ser vice pension law will pass the house. others that the same end will be ef- fected by a more liberal construction of existing law, but the leaders of con- gress are known generally to favor the latter proposition.

Torpedoes and Battleships.

The question of submarine mines O. torpedoes. their effect on warships, the chances of hitting. and their general efficacy in the defence of harbors has always been an interesting one because the history of recent wars has added very little to the literature of the sub iect.
 In order to obtain some reliable data fer use in war, Great Britain recently subjected the Belleisls Calready famous for the trial of fire to which she was subjected year or two ago) to still further experiments. A Whitehead torpedo was exploded against the ships bottom. and as a result she heeled over and sunk in twenty min uteS.
 There was a depth of water of ten feet under the keel of the Belleisle, which had been moored in Dorchester Creek, at Portsmouth, England. A compartment filled with com-pitch cellulose, had been built outside the port how below the water line, the torpedo was lashed by divers under the compartment and fired by electri- city from the Vernon. <4 When the torpedo exploded a spray rose about forty feet into the air, the explosion rot only smashing the spe- cial compartment and blowing the cellulose into the air, but also tearing open the side of the ship and leaving a hcle eight feet by twelve.
 The experiment proved conclusively the destructive power of the torpedo, and incidently showed that the plug ging power of cellulose was not what. theory had ascribed to it. It was al- together one of the most important experiments ever carried out with the Whitehead torpedo, since the ship had been so strengthened below the belt that she really was suraricr in resist Ing power to any warship afloat.
 Admiral Fremantle, in commenting on the rsults of the experiment, says that if the damage done to the Belle isle was as great as he had been in- formed it was, the power of the tor pedo had been underestimated in the past.
 Of course, there is always the diff culty of torpedoing a ship when steam ing at high speed except by means of a submarine. The extreme range of the torpedo is but 1000 yards, and it's maximum speed thirty knots, so that it will be very difficult to strike a ship moving at IS knots speed. Submarines when submerged have a speed Of only knots, and will consequently have difficulty in getting within range of ships in motion. Their menace 10 yes sels at anchor, however, does not ad- init of question.
 Moreover, the efficacy of submarine mines planted in channels is also un- questioned, and in consequence the above experiment is a matter of great satisfaction to the Coast Artillery which has charge of the submarine mine defense.

The poor old string-halted Gazette. which acts as a hoodoo for the gover- nor of the territory by insisting that 1t is his personal organ, makes the fool assertion that the selection O. Col. George w. Dunn of New York to be the secretary Of Arizona lis not sur prising" and that "it has been known all along that the president had promised the position from the begin hing to a New York man." Extreme Iy probable, isn't it, that Governor Brodie would have made recommends tions of Arizona men fer the secre- taryship. and received applica tions for the auditorship, if Lit had been known all along that the president had promised the position to a New York man?" As a matter of fact, practically everybody in this territory has been surprised by the selection of Col. Dunn.

FILIPINOS ARE MANY
1900 ISLANDERS INCLUDED IN
WORLp's TAIR EXHIBIT.


William H. Taft, the present secretar
of war, was civil governor Of the Phil
ippine Islands, he conceived the idea
that the Worlds Fair at ST Louis, al
most in the center Of the United
States, would offer an excellent oppor-
tunity to show to the American peo-
pie the wonderful resources of the
archipelago and the character of the
inhabitants. Gov Taft outlined a plan
for a Filipino display at ST. Louis,
which has been carried out faithfully
The Philippine Exposition is per-
haps the most striking feature of the
Worlds Fair. 1t covers tract of II
acres. There are 1890 natives The
buildings number about 113, not count
ing the numerous huts in the five
native villages. Because the Philip
pine display is rather isolated from
the rest of the Fair, the average visitor
is generally amazed when he crosses
the Bridge of Spain over Arrow Head
lake, goes through the grim looking
entrance of the Walled City, and be-
holds the elaborate features spread out
before him. The cost of the Philip
pine Exposition approximates $780,
900. All of this expense except $780,
900 is born by the insular government,

butte this amount to indicate the won

age tribes, Some have said this ex-
position has taught that the word
Filipino" is misleading, that there is
no standard type in the Philippines,
that the displays of fierce Moros,
naked Igorrotes, pompous Bagobos,
and monkey-like Negritos, dissipate
the idea that the Philippines are popu
lated by a homogeneous people. This
is true in a sense, but it must be re-
membered that the Igorrotes number
100000, the Bagobos 5000, the Negritos
$4,000, and the Moros 100000 out of a
totcl population of 1886. 426. The re-
mciIing 5000, 900 are for the most part
people with keen intellects and cul-
ture, eager to grasp at any idea that
might advance them, and have accom-
plished wonders with their limited
means.
AS you leave the Walled City rep
resentation of the Notifications built
by the Spaniards 900 or 400 years ago
to repel Dutch and Chinese invaders,
you face plaza plastered with a lux
urious growth of flowers and sur
rounded by picturesque group of
buildings. On one side is the Observa-
tory, an odd-1ooking structure with
two spires on each side shooting sky
ward, pattern of an observatory at
Manila. In its rear is a circular walk
within which relief map has been
built by Father Jose Algue, Jesuit
priest, showing in an entertaining way
the 3,014 isles and islets of the archi-
pelago.
On the opposite of the plaza is the
Agricultural building, within which is
shown farm implements, marvellous ma
tive houses, hemp of all kind, rice, to-
bacco, coffee, copra and all other pro-
ducts of the field. There you will see
long streams of hemp in fneness and
sheen not unlike the locks of some
peroxide blonde.
Nearby is a hall where stereopti-
can views are given of scenes in the
islands, and to the northeast is the
Fish and Game building, an impress
sive structure of the graceful palma
bravo, matched with nipa, its lower
end stretching over the waters of the
lake, giving the appearance of an
American boat house
On the other side of the plaza is the
Educational building, modelled after
the Manila cathedral Here are sam
pies of the industrial work, essays and
other things done in the Americanized
schools of the country. There are more
than 100000 pupils in the primary
classes of the schools in the Philip
pines alone. More English has been
taught in the three years of American
occupation than during 400 years of
the Spanish regime.
But to see the work of education
actually in progress, the visitor should
step over across a second plaza to a
snug nipa cottage, within which Miss
Pillar Zamora, graduate of the Manila
Normal school, gives lessons daily to
about so little natives recruited from
the various villages. This second plaza
is bordered by the Commerce building.
