FIGHT IN MEXICO
MANY KILLED IN STRIKE OF
MINERS AT cANANEA.
MEXICAN TROOPS ON GUARD
Labor Troubles in Mines and Smeiters
of Greene Consolidated Copper
Company Lead to Deadly Conflict
Two Americans Amonq the Dead.

Naco, Ariz.-Many men were shot
down at La Cananea, Mexico, forty
five miles from the international line,
at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
wholesale slaughter occurred immedi-
ately after Col. William C. Greene,
president of the Greene Consolidated
Copper Company, had finished speech
to the Mexican strikers, endeavoring
to pacify them.
After firing upon the Americans.
with whom they swore no longer 10
compete, the Mexicans began to set
fire to the city and to dynamite the
dated.
Thirteen are known to have been
killed in the fighting. They are:
George Metcalf.
William Metcalf, nephew of
George.
Ten Mexican strikers.
One Mexican child.
A. S. Dwight, general manager OF
the Cananea Consolidated Company,
was slightly wounded. A few other
Americans and scores of Mexicans
were wounded.
A Cananea dispatch Tuesday says:
Scarcity of guns and cartridges among
the striking Mexican miners and Wig
orcuS resistance by the Americans and
a portion of the city police force alone
prevented a wholesale slaughter here
yesterday.
Colonel Kosterlitsky. commander OF
the Mexican rurales in this district,
arrived at o'clock last night with a
strong force, and the rioters fled to the
hills.
Colonel Kosterlitsky threw out
guards and with the aid of the city po-
lice has been rounding up suspects all
day. There was some desultory firing
during the night, but since morning
the town has been quiet.
But two Americans were killed yes
terday, though several were slightly
wounded. Ten strikers are known to
have been killed and many wounded.
Governor Ysabel of Sonora arrived
to-day noon with 275 American rifle
men from Naco. When the governor
reached Naco the Americans rendered
their services. He told them that II
Trey would forget their American citi-
ztnship temporarily and promise TO
obey his orders implicitly, he would
take them to Cananea. They assented
with cheers and were at once ordered
on board his train.
The governor has assumed supreme
command here and the mines and
sinelters will soon be in full operation.
The property damage is not serious.

Rurnl Water Supply.

When great sums of money are be-
Ing expended by city governments that
the inhabitants of towns may have a
sanitary water supply it seems strange
that the supply in rural towns should
receive little or no attention. This lat
ter population may seem relatively in
significant. but according to the last
census 1t comprises about 40.000,O00
souls. This means that the 4O.OOO,0OO
people are drinking the water most
available without thought of its san
itary condition. These various sources
of supply, whether wells. springs. or
small streams. are similarly unreliable
for furnishing drinking water. The
statistics of mortality in the country
are very indefinite, but even these
show that the rural population is not
as free from illness as it should be.
And though everywhere the rural
death rate is lower than tho urban
death rate, yet the lowering in the
country has not been as great as in the
city. An examination of typhoid sta
tistics shows that the death rate of 9TH
er diseases is generally lower in the
country than in the city. but the prev
alence of typhoid is almost equal to
IL not greater in the rural districts
than in the cities. Several instances
have been reported which show the ru-
raj typhoid rate to be ten times great
er than the urban rate for the same
district. To partcularize certain dis
trict in central Pennsylvania proves
this fact. 1t is made up of rural pop.
ulation with one hundred inhabitants
to the square mile. 1t is a region of
fine farms, wild mountains and woods.
country residences and picnic groves.
And in this valley there has been as
much typhoid fever as in the city of
Philadelphia. Sad as this condition is.
there seems to be no remedy for it.
The sources of city water supply are
few and the city government easily
cotnrols the conditions affecting 1t.
But what can be done when the sources
of supply are numered by the thou
sands? A mint of money and an army
of chemists would not be sufficient to
give the same care to the country sup
ply that is given to that of the city.

BOMB THRoWER DEAD.
Woud-se Resicide Kills Himself to
Prevent Capture.

Madrid.-The capture and suicide
Saturday night at Torrejon de Ardos
of Manuel Morales, the chief suspect
of the bomb outrage against King AL
fonso and Queen Victoria, adds an
other dramatic chapter TO the events
surrounding the royal wedding.
Morales was recognized in the little
town of Torrejon de Ardos, midway be
tween Madrid and Aloala. A guard
sought to detain him. but Morales,
drawing a revolver, shot the guard
dead. Then he turned to flee. but a
number of the inhabitants of the town
were upon him, and, turning the revol-
yer upon himself. he sent shot in the
region of his heart. expiring few min
utes later. Senior Cuesta. proprietor of
the hotel, from the balcony of which
Morales threw the bomb, viewed the
body to-day and completely identified
IL as that of his recent guest.

SUICIDE OF CONGRESSMAN.
Robert Adams, Jr., of Pennsylvania.
Shoots Himself.

Washington. - Representative Rob
ert Adams of the Second congressional
district of Pennsylvania died at Emerg-
ency hospital in this city as the result
of pistol shot fired through his
mouth into his head, with suicidal in
tent.
The act was committed at the club
chambers of the Metropolitan Club,
where Mr.. Adams had re sided for sew
eral years, some time between 6 and Z
O'Clock Friday morning. II was not
until O'Clock, however, that he was
found by Horace Clark, one of the ne
gro bellmen.
Robert Adams was one of the most
popular representatives in Congress
and he has been identified with many
matters of worldwide importance. His
position as ranking member of the ma
jority after the chairman on the House
committee on foreign affairs has, ow-
ing to the i'll health of Mr.. Hit, made
1t necessary for him to largely direct
the business of that important com
mittee, and he was thus brought into
close contact with President Roosevelt
and Secretaries Hay, Root and Taft.
The height before his death Mr..
Adams write the following letter to
Speaker Cannon:
MY Dear Mr.. Speaker-The fact
that my personal obligations exceed
my resources is my only excuse for
abandoning the responsible position j
occupy in the House. l am willing TO
be buried at its expense, but i ask that
no committee be appointed or memo
rial services held, as have never been
in sympathy with the latter CUSTOM
In view of the request contained in
the letter written TO the speaker by
Mr.. Adams, no congressional commit
tee will accompany his body TO Phila-
delphia. An officer of the House will
go, however, and it is understood that
informally several members of the
House will also act as an escort.

The Worlds Athletes.

Olympic games" in which the win
ners are youths from America, Aus.
tralia and Canada look like very
new thing, but there is really nothing
new about the success of the outlying
districts in these classic contests. 1t
was quite a common thing in the an
cient day for athletes from the outly-
ing Hellenic states and the colonies
to take the prizes. and the conditions
that made victories for greater Greece
in those days are precisely the same
as those which win the laurels for
Sheridan, Sherring and Asty to-day.
That is to say. it is the pioneer who
has in him the spirit of the champion
and the tradition of overcoming. 1t
is the new country" that gives the
hope, the eagerness, the elasticity that
makes great athletes.
