More Trouble AZ Cananea.

Naco, Arizona, June 4.-Reuewed
trouble broke out at Cansnes, last night
between the striking Mexicsns of Col.
w. c. Greenes mine and the Rural
under Col. Kosterlitzky. Five rioters
we're killed and thirteen injured.
One of the Rurales was shot but
not seriously injured. The fight
was resumed shortly before the ar
rival of 200 Mexican soldiers from
Hermosillo. All of the American women
of the town and many women of the
higher class of Mexicans are quartered
in the home of Col Greene, which
is under heavy guard. Eight lead
ers OF the Cananea rioters were exc
cuted yesterday morning by Col. Kos
teritzky The rioters were lined up
in front of stone wall q short dis

killed by volley from the rifle

doomed men replied as one man: To

with the quelling OF the riot than the
presence of American soldiers on the

An examination of the pockets of the

The report of Commissioners oil La
Dor NELL and James b. Reynolds, con-
corning the conditions of meat packing
at Chicago has been at last made pubic
officially. The investigators find that the
filth of the Chicago stock yards is lndIs-
cribably shocking. the slaughter houses
being dark and unventilated, aud the meat
being unprotected from contact with dis
eased workmen. No inspection of meat
is made after it has passed the post NOR
tenn or leaves the killing bed. The fed
ernl inspectors may condemn but mol
DESTROY diseased meat, while the local
inspectors are said to be men OF baG
reputation. The commissioners find that
the whole inspection service is organized
to enable packers to sell meat abroad
and that home consumers are 10 no wise
protected. Meats which have been spoiled
in transit are returned TO be worked into
saussges, or treated With preserVRtiges
aud dyes, etc, tor the local market.
Diseased meat was found in the same
room with good meat intended for can
ming. Plotted ham appeared to consist
Of skin and other pieces OF hog meat not

Assassin Buried.

Madrid, June 4.-The body of Man
uel Morales the WOuld-he assassin OF
King Alfonso, who killed himself, to es-
cape capture, at Terrejon de ArdOs, WAS
buried here today after an autopsy had
been held The corpse was exhibited
yesterday at Buen 5ucese Hospital for a
short time as the authorities believed
this would be a good way to allay the
indignation of the people. The sight of
the asassin's body, however, iniuriated
rather than Gained the populace and it
was soon necessary to close the hospital
doors because of the pressure OF great
crowds of people who gathered and wish
ed to lake the body to hang it in front
Of the house from which Morales made
his attempt upon the lives of the King
and Queen. Numerous compromising
documents have been found in the rooms
occupied by Morales at Barcelona. One
letter which arrived there from Lisbon,
addressed to Morales, is full of mys'eri-
Gus sigus. The police now believe that
there Was a widespread international
plot against Alfonso. In all there were
1903 victims OF Morales attempt on the
King. This includes one person who
has gone mad since the bomb throwing.
