Never Before Saw a

New York, Dec. /. "A strong tribe
of negroes, with a language of their
own, was said by Lieut.. R. H. Wy
mans of the Dutch navy, who arrived
here today from an expedition into
unexploited parts of Dutch Guiana,
South America, to have been one of
the most Interesting discoveries he
and his party made.
The negroes appeared never to
tave seen white man before and
while perfectly black, yet were not
Of the thick-lipped type. Lieut.. Wy
mans was of the opinion that they
were descendants of slaves who had
escaped from the coast doubtless
many years ago and formed a settle
ment far in the interior.
Gold was found to abound in the
country, but other natural features
of the sort that would prove serious
obstacles to the opening up of the
land also were found in number and
of an unsurmountable character.
Wymans was sent out by the govern
ment of Holland to explore the coun-

Port au Prince, Dec. 1.-The ex
pected battle between the revolution
lists and the tropps of the govern
ment, which are entrenched few
miles outside the city, is likely to
be deferred for several days.
General Antoine Simon, command
er-in-chief of the revolutionary fore
es, has decided to attack Jacmel,
whichh lies thirty miles to the south
west of this, city, and which is the
only town that has remained loyal
in the department of the south, be-
fore resuming his march on Port au
Prince
1t is, believed, however, that the
situation, SO far as the government
is concerned, is lost. Louis Borneo,
minister Of state, has handed in his
resignation and has taken refuge in
a consulate, and there now remain in
afice only three of high government
al officials, General Loconte, minister
OF the interior; General Laleau, min
lister as justice and public instruction
and General Marcelin, minister of
finance and commerce.
All the other ministers, however,
with the exception of General CeIes-
tin Cyriaque, who, after his recent
defeat at the hands of the insurgents
are believed to have found asylum in
one of the foreign consulates.

With our merchant marine built
up, as it would be by subsidies, we
will not be compelled to purchase and
charter foreign ships for use as trans

Coming down to the present, we

ing a cruise around the world with
foreign ships serving as colliers. In
the event of war between the United

would have at once to quit their en-
2ployment as supply vessels, for our
navy, with the possibility that our
fleet would be poweriess either to go

blown up last spring. In December last
another bomb was left on a step and
doors and windows demolished. Since
then he has received several letters

resulting in the third mysterious at

three children, who occupied rooms in
the rear of the store, were endangered
by the last explosion, but they escaped
with slight injuries
A few months ago the body of an

in the pocket of the dead man, and it
is believed he had been delegated to
commit some outrage, failed and had
been murdered by his associates for

NOTHING LIKE IT.
Assassination of Denver Priest
Has No Parallel.

Denver, Feb. 24.-Members of the
Roman Catholic priesthood in this city
declare there is no record in the his
tory of the church OF the tragedy par
allied to that OF the killing of Father
Leo Heinrichs while administering
sacrament to Giuseppe G. Guaranaccio
at st. Elizabeth's church Sunday morn
ing. Never before has a servant of the
church. they say, been summoned from
the performance of his duties in so
tragic and dramatic a manner. This
crime will stand out as one of the
most fearful in the criminal records
Of the world and its preparation may
result in the elevation of Father Helm
richs TO the position OF a martyr and
lead TO his canonization as one of the
saints OF the church in whose services
he fell while performing his duty.
Father Eusebius, senior pastor of
ST. Elizabeth's church, received tele-
gram from the father provincial at
Paterson, N. j.. instructing him to for
ward the body of the dead father to
that city for interment Father Fuse
bius accompanies the body. Funeral
services will be held at st. Elizabeth's
church at 10 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. When solemn requiem high mass
will be celebrated probably by Father
Eusebius. Father w. O'Ryan, pastor
OF ST. Leo's church, will deliver a
eulogy and sermon against anarchy
and socialism. The funeral services
will be attended by 500 members OF
hnights of Columbus, and the entire
body of the Knights Of st. John and
other Catholic organizations. II is
the custom OF the FRANCISCAN order that
no eulogies be preached over de-
ceased member, but on account OF the
tragic circumstances and general eff
feet in THIS case Of the assassination
upon the public the rule will be set
aside
Giuseppe Guarnaccio, the murderer,
talked freely in jail concerning himself
and this act, for which he declared he
has no regret. He said he is a native
OF Sicily and fifty-six years old. He
became a socialist and anarchist at
thirty-five years of age. BY trade he is
shoemaker. He came to America
two years ago and since has been
teaching anarchy, working a little at
his trade He lived before coming to
Denver at Paterson, n. j.. in mill
towns in Massachusetts and at Chi
cago. He came to Denver two weeks
before Christmas. The statements of
Guaranaccio that he Is an anarchist
are borne out by letters and pamphlets
taken from him. Among his effects
is printed list of murders of the
world from the assassination of Car
Paul OF Russia in 1901 down to the
recent killing of the king of Portugal.
He also has many pages of anarehistic
literature in his own handwriting and
on printed slips.
