His Wrist.

PARIS, June 27.-Gaston Berges is
25 and very Jealous; Nine Berger is
20, and very pretty. They married
two years ago and have been happy,
with quarrels at intervals whenever
CASTOR Berger's jealousy found any
thing to feed on. A few days since
Nine. Berger smiled and waved her
hand from their sitting room window
to her sister, who was passing in the
street
M. Berger came into the room at
that moment, and, seeing her, de.
manded to know what man she was
talking to out of the window When

revolver and fired two shots at her.
Fortunately, his aim was bad Neigh
bors came rushing upstairs and Gas
ton, thinking he had killed his wife,
who had tainted from fright, threw
himself out of the window into the
street. Although the Bergers live on
the third floor, the only damage the
jealous husband did to himself was
to break wrist. Nine. Bereer was sc
touched by her jealous husbands s wish
to kill himself that she has pardon

carasua Way of Massacreins Pris-

Are Trying to

BLUEFIELDS, June 27.-William
Pittman, the daring American, who
was captured by the Madriz army dur
ing the fighting about Bluefields. has
been found guilty by court martial,
of conspiracy against the government
and will be sentenced to at least ten
years in the government penitentiary
at Managua.
An endeavor will be made to induce
the state department at washington
to interfere and check the execution
of sentence on Pittman, for Ameri-
cans believe the sentence of impris-
onment at Managua, is technically q
death sentence. The Madriz soldiers
have shown in their treatment OF prls-
oners that they have way of work
ing themselves into the belief that
prisoners are endeavoring to escape
and are shot while attempting to es'
cape and no questions are asked.

THIRTY YEARS SERVICE
Rain Along the Border and Activities
Of the Police Prevented Any
Outbreaks on Election
Day.

Ell PASO, Tex. June 27-Reports
from Mexico indicate that Porforio
Diaz for president and Ramon Corral
for vice president have polled large
majority Of the vote cast Sunday.
telegram from the City of Mexico
from a nonpartisan source declares
that Corral will never be the vice
president, though the reelection of
Diaz is certain.
A banquet has been arranged for
next week In the City of Mexico to
celebrate the thirty years service as
president of Gen. Diaz.
The states of Juarez and Chihuahua
give Diaz and Corral majorities.
1t may have been providential, but
rain along the Mexican border, kept
the crowds in most of the time, and
very light vote is said to have been
polled in the election for presidential
and vice-presidential electors. Troops
were In evidence in considerable num-
bers at all Of the polling places, and
crowds were not tolerated. Troops
patroled all the streets and prevented
any meetings unless they were in
small numbers and very secret.
At Cannanea the smelter was shut
down and the fires banked, and as all
saloons were closed throughout Mex
leo since Saturday morning, there
was little incentive to draw the aver
age Mexican from his house.
In Ciudal. Juarez, opposite Ell Paso
open opposition developed Saturday
forthe first time in Diaz and Corral. A
| paper was issued containing the
names off officials of the Antire-elec-
ton club, and showing Judge Amador,
NState Tax collector Argulles and
many prominent men aligned with the
anti-Diaz men. The appearance of
Gen. Felix Diaz in Juarez and Ell Pa
/ so Is said to have added boldness to
the antire-electionists, as Diaz has
/ just been deposed as chief of the
Mexico City police for opposing the
election of Corral as vice president,
and for other offenses of a like
4 character, and it is said that the elec.
tors may select this young man or
4 Gen. Reyes for vice president, when
they meet on the 10th to declare an
4 election.
!. The anti-electionists seem to have
given up hope of electing man
against Diaz. Their candidate, Mad
ero, is in Jail and, as some one re
marked in Juarez "The Mexicans
don't stand long for loser
and can not hold out as head of af
fairs much longer, and they apparent
} " have bent their efforts in the las
day or so to elect their choice as vice
president.

TAFT, HUGHES
and ROOSEVELT
Big Triumvlrate Will Meet This
Week to Talk Over Tho PoIit-
cal Situation In
New York.
TWO AGAINST or
With Taft and Roosevelt Both Urg-
Ing Hughes to Run for Gov
ernor, What VIII
He Do?

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June 27.-l
When Col. Roosevelt departs from
Sycamore Hill Tuesday for the Har-
ward commencement at Cambridge he
will mark the beginning of what is
likely to be an important meeting. It
is known that the colonel has arrang-
ed a conference with President Taft
at Beverly. This is certain.
Mr.. Roosevelt will meet the presi-
dent Wednesday night, or possibly
Thursday. He will go from Cam
bridge to Swampscott, Mass, whence
he will be driven over to Beverly in
touring car. 1t has been suggested
by men who are close to the colonel
that Senator Lodge and Congressman
Nick Longworth would not surprise
anybody if they dropped in with the
former president. And, perchance,
Governor Hughes.
Thus far Col. Roosevelt hasn't civ,
en- any hint that he favors what the
president has been doing, and he will
not make public announcement until
| he has the opportunity OF feeling his
way.
The wires to Sycamore Hill are get.
ting hotter, and the mail is increasing
tremendously every day.
1t is said here that Mr.. Roosevelt
is going to try to get President Taft
to exert his influence upon Governor
Hughes to give up the federal supreme
court bench for third term in the
/ gubernatorial chair at Albany. The
colonel is in earnest about Hughes
| saving the republican party in New
1 York state, and the visit of Hughes to
Sycamore Hill some time soon will
| be mighty interesting one.
| Several letters have passed between
| the colonel and the governor concern,
ing it. Until Colonel Roosevelt leaves
Sycamore Hill for New York to take
4 the train to Boston Tuesday, he will
remain as quiet as he is able.
Sunday for the first time since he
4 returned from the African jungle and
indeed, since he left the white house
A he spent an unobtrusive day with his
4 family There we're no visitors. In
the morning the colonel attended the
Episcopal church with his boys
Archie and Quentin. Mrs. Roosevelt
did not accompany him. AS he step
q ped out Of the church, after Rev. H
!, H. Washburn had conducted services
the colonel was held up for hant
shaking reception. He Responded
with gusto.
During the afternoon he walked
wrote, read and chatted with his fam
lily. He put in couple of hours ar
ranging the countless African trophies
. he brought back with him.

of the provisional forces under zen
Arensino Cruz has captured La Ii

in the department OF Chontales. Ihls

nose of occupying advantageous
points within reasonable distance Oh
Acoyapa General Mena, with the
great body of his troops, is within gun
shot Of Acoyapa, which is garrlsoned
by several hundred of the Madrlz
forces.
General Colon, another OF the provi-
sional leaders, has taken San Ubaldo,
one of the chief ports of Lake Nicara-
qua. He defeated 200 of Madriz's sol
diers who were on their way to re-
inforce General Vasquez.
Further reports state that Vasquez
is entirely surrounded and that the
threatened attempt by General Mena
agains Acoyapa has been delayed In
the exr .ation of the surrender OF
the commander Of the garrison there.
General Mena intends to occupy all
the surrounding towns. He reports
that General Vasquez is now unable to
get provisions through the lines. As
/ vasquez refused permission for the
noncombatants to leave Acoyopa, 1t
us probable that General Mena will
abandon his plan Of bombardment.
DR.. Julian Irias, Nicaraguan execu-
tive delegate on the Atlantic coast, has
Issued a decree that the custom house
for the coast is now in the possession

and that hereafter any merchandise at

by properly appointed customs officials
shall be subject to seizure. This
would mean that double duty would
be exacted at Bluefelds, and 1t is prob
able the American naval officer in
command will refuse to recognize this
decree, as was the case when DR.
Irias decreed that vessels would not
be allowed to enter the port OF Blue
fields without the permission of Ma
driz.
