PICTURED in
THEIR C0FF|NS
Russian Imperial Family Arc
so Depicted in WeskIy
Paper.
VERY SKILLFULLY DONE
Tho Half Tone 10 Said to Be Work Of
Students Employed on nevs...
Causes Great Sensation.

st. Petersburg, April 15.-Quite q
sensation was caused this morning by
the appearance In Neva, the most
widely circulated illustrated weekly In
Russia, of a half-tone picture repre-
senting the imperial family, including
the empress holding the heir to the
throne, and in the background of the
picture showing the shadowy outlines
Of the Emperor, Grand Duke Sergius,
Grand Duke Alexis, the Dowager En-.
press, the heir to the throne and prac-
tically all the living members of the
Ramonoff family lying dead in coflns.
The work Is so skillfully done that In
the shadows in the drapery behind the
imperial family Is discernable only
with great difficulty. The publishers
disclaim any previous knowledge of
the shadowy figures. The culprits.
who were students employed on the
paper have not yet been located.
M. Witte Is Disheartened.
st. Petersburg, April 15.-M. Witte,
President of the committee of minis.
ters, has definitely decided to give up
all work and go abroad. The last
straw was the imperial rescript al
dressed to the Interior Minister Bou-
ligan, creating special commission
to discuss the questions relating to the
peasant tenure of lands and the aboli.
ton of the peasant commission over
which NJ Witte presided. Emperor
Nicholas took this step without even
apprising M Witte of his intentions.
Members of the Witte Commission
were actually at work Tuesday even
ing and woke up yesterday to find
the commission out of existence. Wit
to attributes the emperor's act to a
court intrigue directly aimed at him
self, and has informed his friends that
he was completely disheartened and
no longer able to endure
the humiliation upon him, and that he
would leave all and 60 abroad for
time.
Putiioff Iron Works Closed.
st. Petersburg, April 15.-The Pu-
tiloff iron works have been closed. A
notice on the gates says the shutdown
is due to the unreasonable demands
of the men, the threatening of officials
the frequent Interruptions of work and
the disregard for rules.

Special 20 the New Mexican.
Jarilla, April 15.-At 6:30 yester'
day morning John Champion, a resi-
dent of the Jarilla mining camp, ended
his life. According to the story of
the members of his family, all of
whom claim to have been in the room
he sat bolt upright in the bed, and
without word of warning, placed a
revolver to his chest and sent a ball
crashing through his heart.
The wife and several children of the
deceased and three other women, all
members of the family were in the
room when the act was committed and
all declare that they had no warning
of what was being done till the shot
was fired, and all this is regarded
as rather peculiar
The deceased was known to have
lost considerable of his wages in
gambling and is also said to have had
domestic troubles, which had caused
him to appear rather downcast for
some time.
An investigation is being conduct
ed.
This rash act in this quiet little
camp has caused much excitement.

THE OFFICIAL
STORY TOLD
Of q Diplomatic Complaint From
Mexico to the United
States.
WAS SETTLED FOR $500
Satisfaction Was Vented for Injuries
to Eulos Zambriano Through
Arrest BY Rangers in
Texas.

Washington, April 15.-The failure
of a Mexican citizen to obtain salts
faction from the authorities of Cimar
on Count Texas, for personal injur
les suffered in that county, evoked ser
ioua complaints to the Washington
government, against the Texas author
tiles, and caused Secretary Hay sew
eral months ago to offer, out of the
federal treasury the sum of $500 to
Mexico in satisfaction of its official
claims for damages. The story Is told
in the official correspondence publish.
ed at the state department today. Eu-
logic Zambriano, Mexican citizen,
pawned rifle in Brownvillle, Texas,
belonging to a citizen of that town. He
was arrested and while being carried
to the Jail, it is claimed, attempted to
escape and was shot by Private' Nc
Kenzie,o Of the Texas Rangers. The
Mexican CONSUL reported that Fam.
briano was tried and sentenced with.
out any account being taken by the
court of the wounds inflicted by Nc
Kenzie, but the Judge told him in
passing sentence that light punish
ment was given because he had been
wounded. This statement, in the
opinion Of the Mexican government, af-
forded ground to insist that the wound.
ing was unwarranted. In a note to
Secretary Hay the Mexican Ambassa.
dor at Washington entered a formal
complaint against the Texas authori.
ties on account "of the slight respect
they usually evince for the lives Of
Mexicans residing on this side Of the
border" and asked for indemnity in
behalf Of Zambriano. The five hundred
dollars offered by this government
was. accepted and the incident
closed.

JAPS TO BE
VICTORIOUS
Ex.captsin Richmond P. Hobson
Gives His Reasons for So
Thinking.
RUSSIA DISADVANTAGE
In Number Of Battle Ships, But Mika.
dos Navy is Swlfter and Better
nandled...Csmpared With
United States.

Alexander City, Ala, April f5.-Ex
Captain Richmond P. Hobson, sizing
: up the probable outcome of the nava
battle which is now imminent in the
far, east, said today:
From reports of the fleets I esti
mate that the Japanese will possess
an advantage in material ranging be
tween rs and. 100 per cent; the Japan
ese in drill and morale possess an ov.
erwhelming superiority in efficiency
superiority probably approaching
that OF the Americans over the Span.
iards; therefore l look for an over
Whelming Japanese victory
An analysis of the composition of
the two fleets shows that the Russians
have advantage in battle ships of
20 per cent; therefore the logical tao.
tics for them would be to maintain a
compact formation throughout. If
handled with efficiency, these battle
ships would probably break any for.
nation of the Japanese and would
have good chance for victory of
moderate proportions. The superior
ity of the Japanese in speed would pre-
vent any Russian victory being great
or overwhelming. The Japanese have
a great advantage in speed, not only
inherent in the ships, but doubtless
enhanced by the inevitable condition
of the hulls of the Russian vessels.
Therefore, the Japanese tactics would
logically be to repeatedly outfiank
the Russian formations and cripple
individual units of the Russian fleet,
then isolate them and finally break up
their formation and destroy them
singly.
Having large number of torpedo
vessels there would be great oppor-
tunity for Japanese dash and daring
in the use of them with vessels to give
the coup de grace to the crippled and
demoralized Russian battle ships. In
the matter of lessons learned and in.
ference to be drawn it should be
borne in mind that the battle ship SUI
periority is in weak hands, while the
armored cruiser superiority and speed
are in skilled hands,"

A GENTLE HINT TO EDISON.
A. r. Gibson, Of sunmount, Sends 4
Letter to the President Of the Ma
tlonal FraternaI Association.

Mayor A. R. Gibson, one Of the pro.
prietors of the Sunmount Tent City,
has sent a letter to w. r. Edison
president of the National Fraternal
Association, which contains gentle
hint to that gentleman as to where
the most favored spot in the south
west is situated for the location of
the Fraternal Sanitarium. The letter
explains itself and is published ver-
batim, as follows:

Hon. w. R. Edison,
President National Fraternal Assn.
st. Louis, Mo.
Dear Sir: We beg to inclose here.
with a copy of our Sunmount booklet,
which is copy Of the third edition
published. We should be pleased to
have you read the matter contained
therein, especially as it refers to San
ia Fe climate, and the record of one
hundred and seventy.seven people who
were guests at our outdoor sanitarium
during last year.
We hope you will find something in
the publication that will interest You.
The water proposition, together with
the lack of dust and sand-storms, as
we'll asa lack of mosquitoes and In.
sect pests appealed to us in the To-
cation of Sunmount. We believe no
other place in the Territory offers
these advantages, and we feel war
ranted in saying that no other loca-
ton in the Territory has shown re-
suits that have been attained at this
pface
No one is better able to Judge than
those who have been guests Of the
place and have enjoyed these condi.
tions.
Always warm in the sun! Always
cool in the shaded" which appears as
a sort Of trade mark in all Of our 1T.
erature, Is substantiated by facts at
the resort. Yours truly,
SUNMOUNT TENT CITY,

the channel If he knew It. he would
have to make long detour. for in no
case would the depth of water in the
pass permit a heavy ship as was the
pursuing vessel, to follow them. and.
aided by the darkness rapidly closing
down, the Mellish would be enabled to
escape
If the English captain were a new
man on the station and unacquaintel
with the existence of the shoal as wat
most likely-well, then he was apt I'd
lose his ship and all on board of her
If he chased too far and too hard. The
problem resolved itself into this: II
the Mellish could maintain her distance
from the pursuer until it was necessary
to come by the wind for short tack
and still have sufficient space and time
left to enable her to run up to the
mouth of the channel without being
sunk or forced to strike by the bat
teries of the frigate, they might escape;

resolved to run the vessel on the rocky
edge of the shoal at the pass mouth
and sink her.
They were rapidly drawing down
upon the shoal at the point from which
they must come by the wind, on the
starboard tack Some faraway lights
on Cape Cod had just been lighted,
which enabled Seymour to get his
bearing exactly. He had talked the
situation over quietly with Bentley.
and they had not yet lost hope of es-
Gaping. The men had worked hard
and faithfully, carrying out the vari-
Gus orders and tightening ship, and
now. having done all, some few were
lying about the deck resting, while the
remainder hung over the rails gazing
at their pursuer. One of the men, the
sea philosopher Thompson of the
Rangers crew, finally went aft to the
quarter deck to old Bentley, who was
privileged to stand there under the
and asked if he might !
