On the Ward liner steamer Mexico,
which arrived in New York from Ha-
vana was Emanuel Gonzales, 40 years
old, who served as a corporal under
General Weyler and afterwards in the
Spanish-American war. AS he was in
the fight at Kettle Hill he wants to
come to Washington to see President
Roosevelt before he sails for his home
in Madrid, as he believes he shot at
the president in that battle.
Gonzales sailed hither SO he could
satisfy the ambition of his last years
to see the president whom he is con-
WINGED he once tried to kill He says

Apparently the government has won
an extraordinary victory as a result
saf the prosecutions it has instituted
against the managers and agents of the
Honduras lottery.
Suits have been brought In various
places turnout the country, one indict-
ment has been piled upon another, and
things have been made SO hot for the
lottery people that they have thrown
up the sponge and have gone out OF
business. At least they assert that this
is so, but to make assurance doubly
sure the government proposes to press
some of the indictments to a speedy
trial in the hope of breaking up the
entire machinery Of one Of the most
dangerous concerns ever known in this
country.
For many years the general public
has understood that the selling of lot
terry tickets in this country was
stamped out by the decision of the
United States supreme court, which
prevented the New Orleans lottery
making use of the mails to send tick
cts or prizes. Recently, however, an
offshoot of the old New Orleans lot
terry, generally known as the Honduras
Lottery company, has established itself
in this country and has succeeded in
doing an enormous business, the ex-
tent of which was suspected by no out
slider until government Investigators
began their inquiry
