Corunna, Spain, June 17.--Physically
enfeebled and sick at heart Cen. Per-
firio Diaz, an exile from the republic of
which he was the chief builder, at last
has yielded to an impulse of self de-
! Tense. In formal statement he jus
titled his administration as president of
Mexico and reproached his countrymen
for what he describes as their ingratf-
tude. The expression, the first personal
word since he was forced from office,
was made on board the steamer,
Ypiranga during a brief stop of the
vessel in this harbor last night He
said:
General Diaz is saddened by the re-
cent events in Mexico and the ingrati
tude of his countrymen. He voluntar-
lily sacrificed his ambition in the hope
of obtaining tranquility for the nation.
foreseeing that IL he continued to de-
fend his cause he might afford pre-
text for intervention The bitterness
and deep DISAPPOINTMENT, which he felt
was mitigated by warmth of manifes-
tation of sympathy upon his departure
from Vera Cruz
General Diaz, confident in the good
sense of the people, thought that the
agitation would disappear, but the peo-
pie, easily forgetting the merits Of the
Diaz administration, allowed them
selves to be dragged into revolutions

SENSATION
IN NORTHERN

Two Yeggmen Wounded In Gun
Battle While at Work
Warrant 0ut for Mayor Dumas
Of CaSS Lake
One Man Captured Other Left
Trail Of Blood

Remidii, Mimi, June 17.-Mayor
Dumas, who is also the manager
of the Cass Lake baseball team,
was arrested this morning as he
stepped from a train at FIibbina,
whore he went with the ball team.
Dumas home was burned about
month ago, and il is alleged the
assistant fire marshal Of the state
of Minnesota became suspicious,
and assisted by detectives, began
investigating Dumas, The arrest
this morning was the result. Du-
mas is charged with wiIfuI, mali
cious and fslonious destruction of
property.
II is said that the detectives
who have been on Dumas trail
became friendly with an ex-con-
viet. This man betrayed the gang
which is said to have been one Of
the best organized bands ever
gotten together for outlawry In
Minnesota.
This ex-eonviet tipped off the
robbery which took place at Pu-
posky as he predicted, and which
resulted in the shooting, this
morning.
Dumas is said to have headed
this gang. He came to cass Lake
about six years ago from Mime
apoIis and has been mayor for
four years. It is said that the
hearing will bring out one Of the
yans4 sensational stariaS IN Rha an
mails of crime in Minnesota.

One Of the most interesting facts
surrounding the trial of Samuel New
man, q full blooded Indian who is
charged with the murder of Roscoe
Conklin, another Indian is the fact
that there seems to be no motive for
the alleged crime.
The case was taken up in the u. s..
court today and it promises to be the
most sensational criminal hearing that
will come before the fury this term.
Many Indians are in the city to testi-
fy in the case and interpreters will
be used BY the court throughout the
greater part Of the hearing.
One Saturday night AHst October, 1t
is alleged that Newman had been
drinking. He was out and away from
the house the greater part of the night
and 1t is avered that he did not come
home until Sunday morning. On en-
tering his home he asked his wife for
a gun, which she refused to give him.
1t is alleged that he then went away
but returned and going into the house
found an old gun in one corner. 1t
is further alleged that he took this
old gun, inserted a bullet and fred
at Conklin, killing him. while the latter
was seated in the home of the de-
PENDANT.
Within half an hour after the death
of Conklin Newman disappeared and
was not seen again until about 5
O'Clock SUNDAY syenings although he
was sought fes BY other Indians on
the reservation.
v. r. Lowell has been retained by
Newman as his legal representative
and Judge Barnett, assistant u. s. dis
trict attorney, viii wage the legal bat
tie for the prosecution.
There were no eye witnesses to the
alleged crime, and the fact that there
seems to be. as yet, no motive for the
crime which Newman is accused,
would indicate that his case will not
be a hard one for the defense to ham
die. However, the government has
strong testimony to offer and a des-
perate fight will be waged to get a
favorable verdict from the jury.
