QUARRELED OVER WAGES TWO BULLETS FIRED AT THE MINE-OWNER. Tragic Passing of a Man Who Pos- sessed a Limitless ¥ortune in New iuexican Turquoise Fields. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 28.—A. J. de Mules, known far and wide as the “Turquoise King of the Jarillas,” was raurdered in cold blood this morning at his camp in the Jarillas, in New Mexico, fifty miles north of this city, while seated at his breakfast table, by a Mex- jcan laborer with whom he had had a dispute about a settlement of the lat- ter's wages. The murderer used a six- shooter. One bullet penetrated the vic- tim’s neck and another his back, kill- ing him instantly. The assassin at- tempted to escape after having wreaked his vengeance upon the mine owner, but was pursued and surrounded by American employes armed with Win- chesters, who forced him to surrender. After the arrest of the murderer the entire force of workmen employed at the mines endeavored to lynch the pris- oner. Their intention was frustrated by guards who threatened them with Winchesters. [he guards were as- sisted in the protection of the prisoner by several railroad men who hastened to the mines from the railway station as soon as they learned of the killing. The prisoner was brought to El Paso to-night and row occupies a cell at the County Jail here. He is morose and re- fuses to talk. The corpse of his victim arrived on the same train and will be buried at Las Cruces, New Mexico. A. J. de Mules was well known in El Paso and his sudden death and the manner in which he was killed shocked the entire community.

Findiey was an old resident of the county and hitherto has borne an ex- cellent character. He was one of the | leading men in the creation of the Pop- ulist party in this county and for the | first two years of its existence was the |.«chairman of its County Committee. His first reward in the shape of office was | his appointment by the Board of Su- pervisors as Tax Collector to fill the | unexpired term of George W. Ramage, | who died 2 year ago.. Soon after as- ‘sumin:: control of the office he began | i | drinking heavily and gambling, and the attention of Thomas Barrett, local agent of his bondsmen, the Fidelity and Deposit Company, was attracted. | . Findley had expected the fusion nom- | tnation and re-election to his office, but | was disappointed, and that fact doubt- | less precipitated his flight. He went away without exciting suspicion, it being his custom to take trips about the county to serve the convenience of li- cense taxpayers. To acquaintances at | the train on which he left on Friday he casuallv stated that he was taking a trip of that nature. He stopped at Santa Margarita, the first point north of here, evidently to carry out this de- ception, but when'he next boarded the northbound train he went through to San Francisco, where he disappeared. A few days later his absence reawak- ened suspicion, and Barrett notified the officers of the Fidellty Company. There | was much telephoning and telegraph- | ing, but nothing could be learned of his whereabouts. Findley leaves an estimable family, apparently in entire ignorance of his movements and in deen distress over the shame which has overtaken them through his act. The office is in the| hands of his deputies, Messrs. Nesbit and Scott, and the receipt of revenues goes on without interruption, except that occasioned by the experts of the Board of Supervisors and the Fidelity Company, who are laboriously engaged in the big volumes which conceal the defalcation. BUFFALO’S ENGINEERS DECLARED INCOMPETENT Report of the Naval Court of Inquiry on the Damages to the Cruiser.

The report fourd that the accidents were due to neglect and incompetency on the part of the engineers on the ship and recommended that Chief Engineer Frederick C.

NO CHANCE ON THE SEAS SHIPS OF THE DONS TOTALLY OUTCLASSED BY OURS. Surprise and Astonishment of the Officers of His Doomed Squadron Over the Orders to Sail for Cuba. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—The Navy | Department to-day published, through the office of Naval Intelligence, the “yiews” of Admiral Cervera regarding the Spanish navy in the late war. Captain Clover, the chief intelligence | officer, explains that this is a reprint of a number of letters published in La | Epoca of Madrid, on the 5th of the present month. The letters are dated from before the war up to May 5. They were written by Cervera in protest against Spain rushing into, war in the face of certain defeat, due to the naval strength of the United States, and the{ unpreparedness of the Spanish navy. Cervera writes: ‘I ask myself if it is right for me to keep silent, and thereby make myself an ac complice in adventures which will surely cause the total ruin of Spain. And for | what purpose? To defend an island which was ours, but which belongs to us no more, because even if we should mnot | lose it by right in the war we have lost it | in fact, and with it all wealth and an enormous number of young men, vic- tims of the climate and bullets, in the | defense of what is now no more than a romantic ' idea. Furthermore, I believe that this opinion of mine should be known to the Queen and by the whole Council of Ministers. 1 have deemed it my duty to express my opinions to the proper author- itles clearly and without beating about the bush. Now let orders be given to me; | 1 will carry them out with energy and | decision; I am ready for the worst. Captain Clover says Spain had ne- glected her navy, and Cervera shows | that it was imprudent for her to at-| tempt war against a superior naval power. Taking up some of thei vessels in detail, in a letter written in | January, he shows how the Vizcaya carried defective guns; how the Carlos V was a fallure because of lack of power; and how the Cataluna, begun more than eight years before, was still incomplete. And then he predicted that a conflict would be disastrous to Spain. zation of the dream and ambition of his fabulous richness. To that end he had schemed and toiled for years, and un- dergone untold hardships and priva- tions. In the turquoise mines of New He was not seen in that| Mexico he had at last found the means | no charts of the American seas. Al- | of gaining an immense fortune. ready stones from these mines had been sold which netted the owner an amount bordering on $50,000 and the undevel- oped wealth was considered limitless. But little is known of De Mules' past history. He was born in Jefferson County, New, York, thirty-eight years ago and was a resident of Santa Fe, N. M, in 1887. It is believed he served as an enlisted man in the United States army in Colorado prior to that. He was a barber by trade and located in Las Cruces, N. M., ten years ago. He subsequently became a prospector and speculator in mining property, but was not successful until a few years ago. Three years ago he became convinced that the turquoise claims in the Jarillas north of this city were of great value, but he had no money to develop them. He persuaded J. A. Baird of this city to supply the necessary capital and the mines subsequently proved to be a veri- table bonanza. One shipment of tur- quoise therefrom to Tiffany of New York netted De Mules $10,000. Recently A. H. Richards, a jeweler of this city, had on exhibition in his win- dow a collection of stones from De Mules’ mine that attracted much atten- tion. Among them were the largest and most beautiful turquoises ever seen in this city. One of the stones on exhibi- tion was the largest ever cut in the United States, COLONEL JEWETT MAY LOSE HIS JOB Relieved as Judge Advocate General at Manila—He Is Likely to Be Mustered Out. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Judge Advo- cate General Charles L. Jewett has been importuning the War Department to be relieved from duty at Manila, and al-| though his request has been granted, as | previously stated in these dispatches, it | is doubtful whether Colonel Jewett will remain in the service. His friends, who have been working here in his behalf, are fearful it is the intention of the depart- ment to muster him out altogether in- stead of assigning h.m to duty elsewhere. — CALIFORNIA FRUIT SEIZED. Condemned in Germany for Having the San Jose Scale. BERLIN, Nov. 28—It is officlally an- nounced to-day that San Jose scale was found in_five consignments of California pears and nectarines received in Germany during the month of November. The fruit was seized, condemned and ordered | re-exported. It is feared this will have the effect to check, if not stop, the im- portation of American fruits. —— FATE OF WALTER ROSSER. It Will Be Determined by the Jury This Morning. The fate of Walter Rosser, who, on the 13th of last September, shot and killed Henry Hilderbrand in the Spreckels Market, will be determined this morning. Yesterday afternoon shortly before 3| o'clock the charge to the jury was con- verdict. As it_did not agree on the first | ballot Judge Wallace ordered it locked | up for the night. When the case was called yesterday morning Frank J. French, P. A McNa- mara and Owen E. Heffernan were called | in the order named. All agreed that the| prisoner. appeared oblivious of his sur-| roundings and the crime he had com- mitted. The examination of these wit- nesses concluded, Acting District Atto: ney Walter Hinkie madé the opening a gument for the prosecution. He was fol- fowed by General Barnes for the defense, Who made an eloquent plea for mercy for his client, insisting that Rosser had been drugged and was not accountable for his actions when he fired the fatal shot. Judge Wallace, in his charge to the jury, laid special stress on the law re- garding intoxication as an excuse for Afime. He instructed the jury that in event it found that the prisoner was uilty of voluntarily becoming intoxicated Fe should be held for the crime of mur- der, but if it was determined that some noxious principle had been added to the wine which the young man drank on the night of the murder and that it resulted ina comrle!e deadening of his senses then he should be acquitted. The court fur- ther instructed that eve that poison had been administered with- out the prisoner's knowledge, and did not Tesult in completely clouding his mind, if it was found Lurline Salt Water Baths, Bush and Larkin sts.

In such condi- | tions a campaign, he writes, would be disastrous if not an offensive one, and | all that could be done in an offensive | way would be to make some ralds with a few fast vessels. The admiral points. to the futility of attempting to blockade the United States ports, and asks how the Spanish | navy would repair, even should they | win a great victory, without resources. | He said: It would be foolish to deny that what we may reasonably expect is defeat, which may be glorious, but, all the same, defeat which would cause us to lose the | islands In the worst possible manner. * s+ Only in case we could count on some powerful ally could we aspire to | obtain a satisfactoroy resuit. The admiral refers to the Spanish Pa- cific force as not able to afford even a | shadow of resistance to the American naval force. Further on he speaks of the war as at last in sight and laments the incomplete state of the Spanish ves- sels. But, after all, he says that he is | glad that the end is coming and is pre- pared to do his duty. He is on record as protesting against the idea of send- ing the little torpedo-boat flotilla to Cuba, pointing out that a naval defeat for Spain would precipitate the loss of Cuba. He speaks of the surprise and astonishment experienced by all of the officers of his squadron on .recelving orders from Spain to sail from Cape | Verde for Cuba, inasmuch as they had | united in pointing out the condition of | the ships. Says the admiral: ‘With an easy conscience I go to the sacrifice, but cannot understand the decision’ of the navy general officers against my opinions. The last letter in the seriesisonefrom Admiral Villamil of Cervera’s squad- ron, addressed directly to Sagasta, pointing out that the sacrifice of the Spanish naval forces “will ‘be as cer- tain as it will be useless and fruitless for the termination of the war.” MANY VOLUNTEEKS ’ TO BE MUSTERED OUT WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—The War Department, in view of the assurances that a treaty of peace will be signed, is arranging to muster out more troops. It is probable that from 30,000 to 40,000 volunteers will be disbanded as soon as selections of regiments can be made. There has been quite a demand for the return of volunteers from Manila, but no troops wlil be brought from the Philippines unless they are replaced by others. With the acceptance of the American terms by the Spanish Com- missioners, any further possibilities of renewal of hostilities is past, and the only necessity now for troops is to gar- rison the islands and preserve the peace of our new possessions. It is-probable that the 30,000 or 40,000 men mustered out will include a large number organ- ized for service in Cuba. The force at Manila will be reduced when General Otis reports affairs in a quiet state in | the Philippines. LOUD’S POSTAL BILL AGAIN COMING UP Having Compromised With Publish- ers, the Author Hopes for 1us Passage. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Congressman Loud has decided to bring up during the coming session his bill regulating second- class mail matter. This is well known all over the country as the Loud bill. It was voted down at the last session, though not defeated outright. It was merely “tabled; therefore it will not be necessary to introduce a new bill and have it reported to the House from the Com- mittee on Postoffices and Postroads. It will be called up again, and Mr. Loud nas strong hopes it will be passed this time, for the opposition to it last session came chiefly from the publishers of periodicals, and Mr. Loud believes he has reached an understanding _ with_ these publishers whereby they will offer no opposition to the bill, which will be modified without detracting from its merit. The bill seeks to put the postal service on a better basis life, although suffering from the effects of some drug, he should be held. by derlvlnf additional revenue from mat- ter which Is now transported in the malls at a loss to the Government.

Casualties. ~ WOODLAND, Nov. 28.—Train 5, run- ning between Sacramento and Oroville, met with a serfous accident when nearing the end of the trip this morning. Tt is mar- velous that it did not resuit in the loss of life. Engine 129, in charge of Engineer Young and Fireman Schaneideer,” was hauling the train. While crossing the first trestle west of Washington the big driving rod on the right side of the en- gine broke about half way between the two driving wheels. The forward half of the rod in revolving stripped -the branch pipe, leaving an aperture of about two inches through which the steam rushed with a roar that could be heard for more than a mile. Engineer Young immediately applied the emergency air brakes, and the next moment the aft half of the broken rod struck the_ footbcard, reducing it to splinters. It crashed through the right side of the cab, throwing the engineer from his seat to the o%poslte side of the cab and pitching the box on which the engineer was seated down the grade on the left side. The train ran about 200 feet before it could be stopped. Every time one of the ends of the broken rod struck a tle it was shivered into fragments. The noise of the escaping steam and the cloud it made about the engine left the passen- ers in doubt as to what had happened. “onductor Irwin expressed the opinion that the boiler had exploded, but re- lieved the anxiety of the passengers by the announcement that both the engi- neer and fireman were safe. Conductor Irwin hastened to the Sac- ramento yard, and in about fifteen min- utes returned with the switch engine. In the meantime the steam had about all escaped, the broken rod was removed,the fragments of the wreck picked up and the disabled engine and train were haul- ed Into the Sacramento yard. The escape of Engineer Young is con- sidered but little less than miraculous, He was badly shaken and complains of ains in the back, but fortunately no ones were broken and his injuries are not considered serfous. —_———— Ladies’ taflor-made suits.
