INDIAN MASSACRE IS FEARED.
Self-Governing Village of Taos Re-
sents Introduction of Authority.

An uprising of serious proportions
has broken out among the Taos Pueb.
10 Indians at their village seventy
miles northwest of East Las Vegas, n
NJ, and troops were hurried by spe'
cial train from Santa Fe to check a
possible massacre of white ranchers.
The Indians cut all telephone and
telegraph wires from Taos, but re.
ports received indicate that the depre-
dations have been confined to an at
tack on the wife and children of l.. J..
Myers, a homesteader, and the cutting
of fences and the theft of horses and
cattle.
years ave been a peaceful people, is
believed to have been caused by the
punishment of Pueblos by the terri
torial authorities. For years the Pueb-
los have governed themselves, electing
their own chiefs and village councillors,
who tried and punished malefactors Of
the tribe without appeal to the terri
torial authorities. Some months ago
an Indian, Isleta Pueblo, who had
been imprisoned by the village author
tiles, appealed to the territorial courts
and the chief and councillors of the
village were put in Jail. Since that
time the Indians have been unruly,
and it is believed the present outbreak
is the result of fear by the Pueblos
that they would lose their i%ndepend.

this total Of divorces $50 were on the

APPLE CROP PROMISING.
Outlook Said to Be Better than for
Three Years.


Reports from market centers in re-
lation to the apple situation in the
United States subsequent to the recent
frosts and up to May /, lead the deal
ers to the conclusion that the outlook
is better than they expected. Their
advices are that for the United States
as an entirety there is promise for a
larger crop than for three years. not
withstanding the frost damage in In
diana, Ohio and west to Nebraska and
Kansas. In Canada the prospects are
excellent, as the trees were not in
bloom When the late frosts were eX-
perienced in the United States. The
middle west, known to the trade as
the Ben Davis group, has suffered
more than any other section excepting
perhaps Wisconsin. Southern Indiana
reports are more favorable than they
were a few days ago. In the southern
apple states. the Virginias, Maryland,
Kentucky. Tennessee, ETC., little dam
age has been done, while the Pacific
group, particularly Oregon and Wash
ington, promises the largest crop in
history, with favorable prospects also
further south in California.

SEA FIGHTER
TAKES INITIAL PLUNGE
BattIeship Florida, Greatest of All
Naval Craft Launched at
Brooklyn Navy Yard.
HAs TEN TwELvE-1NcH GUNS
Vessel Is al Feet Long and Will
Have Speed of 81 Knots an
Hour.

The greatest Dreadnought of the
worlds ~navies, the battles1ip Florida,
was launched, at the Brooklyn navy
yard in the presence OF many distin.
suished men, public officials, and a
mighty throng of citizens. Awe-inspir-
ing in size and silent might, one of the
mightiest war engines conceived by
man plunged into the waters of Walla-
bout Bay amid a storm of cheers.
Before the Launching. the colossal
sea fighter looked for all the world
like a gigantic fish hooked from the
ocean and raised into the air a captive
by mighty derricks and supports. Tho
new shaped bow-the upper part black
and lower white-with the great an
Choir pit was strangely suggestive of
I huge leviathan dragged from the
deep.
1t will take more than 1000 men to
manage this great fighting machine;
the minimum requirement is sixty Off
GERS and 954 enlisted men. The esti-
mated cost of the ship complete is So
000, 900. The Florida is the second of
Uncle Sans floating forts to take the
initial plunge from the Brooklyn navy
yard a Unusual ceremonies at
tended the launching.
The Florida is 521 feet long; her
beam is So feet 21h inches; she draws
2S1a feet of water and displaces 21,S25
tons in light order, while when fully
loaded she will up to 23,O33
tons. Her estimated speed is 20M
knots per hour, which would have been
regarded a few years ago as the. top
notch for a swift unarmored cruiser.
She will carry $500 tons of coal in
her bunkers, which should enable her
TO make the round-trip across the At
lantic at half speed. Parsons turbine
engines of $4,000 horse power will
maintain the high speed.
The main battery of the ship will
consist of ten twelve-inch rifles arrang-
ed in pairs in turrets. There is a very
formidable secondary battery and tow
twe~nty-one-inch submerged tubes for
torpedoes. The FLORIDA will be a navy
in itself-a 100 per CEN broadside sea
fighter capable of firing every gun in
her armament into a foe. A single
broadside from the Florida will be
twice as heavy as that of Dewey's en-
tire Manila fleet.
The Florida is t~wenty-one feet long
err, $500 tons heavier, and her battery
"a per cent stronger than the Bellero-
phon of the British navy. The great
Connecticut. for years the queen ship
Of the United States navy, was the
model for the new warship. The Flor
ida will be heavier by 5000 tons than
the Connecticut, or nearly the entire
displacement Of the Inflated battle
ship Maine. Not even the Neptune,
and it is doubtful if the Colossus, the
pride of the British navy, equals this
sea fighter. The Florida will be able
to hurl a broadside 25 per cent heavier
than any battleship afloat.

1876 MINERS ARE ENTOMBED.
Explosion in British Shaft Cuts OF
Means Of Escape.

An explosion in the Wellington coal
mine at Whitehaven, England. cut off
the exit from the 1876 miners who were
working below the surface. Rescue
parties succeeded in saving four men
who had been working at the bottom
of the shaft. They were prevented by
the gas from penetrating to a point
where the main body of men is i'm
prisoned. Every indication was that
the inner workings of the mine were
afire n there was the gravest appre-
hension regarding the entombed men.
The colliery is owned by the Earl Of
Lonsdale and it's workings extend four
or five miles beneath the sea. The
spot where the eighty-five hewers and
some fifty-odd shiftmen, still imprison.
ed, were working at the time of the ex.
plosion is about three miles from the
shaft exit.
