New York, July 22.-Cable advices
from Havana announce the death of
Sonora Jnana Quesada, the Cuban
Joan of Arc, at the age Of seventy
years.
Sonora Quesada was the best known
woman in the island. She came of a
good family in Camaguey, but despite
the comforts and luxury which her
circumstances gave her she chose to
aid her countrymen in the field in the
ten years war against Spain. Sonora
Quesada was only one Of many ANA.
IONS who welded a machete in the
struggle, but her bravery and the
standing OF her family made her the
best known.
She served throughout that long,
hard campaign under the command OF
General Maxine Gomez. Again, in
the revolution against Spain that be-
gan in 1895 and ended in 1898 with
the overthrow Of the Spanish rule,
Sonora Quesada, though then in ad.

The police report twenty-five Japa-
nese were killed and wounded during
the day. The casualties among the
Koreans Ia unknown. An official Japa-
nese report attributes the shooting to
Korean soldiers who could not be con-
trolled by their officers.
The noise of the shooting and the
report of tho casualties greatly
alarmed the emperor and he sent by
the minister of Justice a long, apollo
getio message to Marquis Ito to the
effect that he regretted that his abdi-
cation had caused disturbances and
he therefore called on Marquis Ito to
prevent further trouble.
Later the rioters surrounded the
premier's residence, but were dis
persed by the Japanese police, with
the assistance Of the artillery. The
premier sought refuge in the palace,
the other ministers going to the Japa-
nese residence general.

Sept. I.
~ For the last two months officials of
the Hartman lines have been en-
deavoring to induce Western coal deal
ers to make their shipments this sum-
mer in order to avoid a recurrence Of
last winters fuel scarcity. The diff
Guilty then in supplying coal to the
Western states grew partly out of
shortage of equipment and partly from
the fact. that orders were delayed I'M
til weather conditions made freight
movement slow and difficult.
The Union Pacific therefore took the
unusual step Of applying to the inter
state commerce commission to be al
lowed to make a reduction in it's rate
In order to get the cooperation of

Icy took up the Orchard story Of his
experiences and criminal record In
Colorado, his trip to Wyoming and the
attempt on the life of Fred Bradley Of

might use him as a witness. +
THAT statement is false and counsel
knows It, promptly shouted Clarence
barrow, for the defense.
Hawley took step closer to the de-
Tense table and, shaking his finger
close to Darrow's face, he said:
when counsel says that he utters
deliberate falsehood."
The atmosphere here was charged
with danger. Sheriff Hodgins stood
up alert and his deputies drew in
closer, but Judge Wood, with a sharp
command and insistent warning,
patched up a temporary peace.
Mr.. Hawley first devoted his atten.
ton to the alleged attempt to wreck
train on the Florence and Cripple
Creek railroad. This was one of the
incidents of the Colorado labor trou.

ImmateriaI to the Issue.
This matter came out in Orchards
testimony" said Mr.. Hawley, "but it
was absolutely immaterial to the issue
here involved. But the defense has
taken this incident and has tried to
build up out of it conspiracy on the
part Of the mine owners against the
Western Federation Of Miners. Or
chard admitted that he had reported
the alleged attempt to detectives in
the employ Of the Mine Owners asso-
citation and to the railroad. The de-
Tense has brought two women wit
nesses here to testify that they saw
Orchard In one of the detectives
room on many occasions.
"Orchard undoubtedly was there try.
ing to secure money from all the
sources he could and I am not going
to defend him for his double dealing in
taking money from both the Western
Federation of Miners and the railroad
company. I am not here to paint
Harry Orchard in anything but his
true colors. There is but one claim
we make for him and that is that he
has told you the truth. This fact has
been indelibly fixed by all the circum.
stances in the case"
Taking up the matter of the at
tempted assassination of Governor
Peabody Mr.. Hawley repeated much
Of the testimony of Orchard as to the
plans he and Steve Adams laid to kill
the governor. Orchards testimony
was amply corroborated, counsel de-
clared. The attorney told of Governor
Peabody's activities in the Colorado
troubles and declared that the strong.
