Calderon, formerly Judge at Gibara but ently removed by the military authorities, brought to Ha- sored by | vana the report of the killing. by the Tenth Caval of twenty men suspect- | ed of being bandits. Calderon states he was removed from his post because he attempted an investigation of this wholesale killing. He says for some time Ernest Russell, captain in the | Rural Guards, and Lieutenant Venegas, | at the head of the detachment of the | Tenth Cavalry, have been unlawfully | sting many persons well known in Gibara to be of good character on charges of a flimsy nature. A few days ago sgldiers, according to Calderon’s story, shot twenty of the: s in cold blood, giving as the on they were afraid the pri oners per contemplating an attempt to escape. Calderon gives the list of men thus killed, who were all reputable citi- he says, of that section. Calderon ause they attempted also | to investigate the crimes Judges of Holguin, Gibara, Mayari and Puerto Parde have been suspended by the | American authorities and that on the atter being carried to General Wood he sustained the actions of the au- thorities in suspending the Judges. The story told by Calderon has caused much comment in Havana and an in- vestigation will be made at once. Pa sengers on the Olivette state that pre: dispatches relating to the matter were opped by the authorities and the gen- | eral impression is that the killing did occur as told. Another report which reached Havana from the scene was to the effect that twenty suspects were lined up and shot by the detachment of cavalry without trial. Th ctims, ac- | cording to this later stc were ar- " | rested on suspicion of belonging to a vho | gang of bandits which has been com- | mitting depredations about Gibara. | WINTERS RESENTENCED.

He piainly showed the effects of his close confinement at Folsom. He appear- ed pale and haggard and had a wild look about him. From his rambling, discon- nected speech before the court, it is evi- | dent that he desired to produce the im- | pression that he was mentally unsound.

The roads are| mountainous and baggage animals are | scarce. This Thibetan district is di- | vided into two kingdoms—Mili and! Chalag. Supreme authority in each | kingdom 1s vested in a priest king. The | King of Mili spends his time between | three different Lamaseries, the princi- | pal one being Mili Genchen, where 300 lamas live. Three days before reach- | ing this place Amendesen met the King | at his Wajin Lamasery and was court- | eously received. The King stated that his people were poor but honest. He rules them with an iron hand, severely punishing all wrongdoing. The king- dom of Chalag is more populous and wealthy. Gold is known to exist in pay- ing quantities. The Chinese attempted to work it, but the Thibetans rose against them, driving them out with loss. In Chalag Amendesen passed a large cave which the natives claimed was five days’ journey in extent. People are pro- hibited from entering it because many who formerly ventured in never re- turned to report their adventures. Crossing into Yunnan, Amendesen | found the people there to be a mixture of Chinese and Thibetan, called Moso by the Chinese. In religion and cus- toms they are Thibetans. The name | of this district is Jang. | From thence he went to the district of Yunglin a plain full of scattered vil- lages with the usual monastery, where | | the King lives. In this instance the King is not a Lama. The left bank of the Yangtse Kiang River is reached |a day and a half from this place. | Amendesen’s notes will entirely change | the geography of that hitherto un- | known region.

Sl / Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Aug. 24.—San Luis Obispo came close to recording a murder last night, and it is purely by a fortunate accident that Mrs. Guadalupe Cordova is now alive. About last evening Mrs. Cordova was stabbed by her husband with a small butcher-knife and frightfully | cut about the shoulders and arms. There has been trouble in the Cordova family for several days. Tuesday Guadalupe 'Cor- dova, or “‘Lupe,” as_he was famillarly | known, had some words with his wife and threatened to kill her. The outcome of it was that she left their home and went to the Tweed residence, next door. Mrs. Cordova feared that her husband would carry out his threats and kill her, and had him arrested on a charge of threats against life. Guadalupe was re- leased on bonds. He had left his coat at the Tweed home, and last night knocked at the door and in response to Mrs. Tweed’s question as to what he wanted reglled that he de- sired to come in and get his coat. He en-| tered and called for his wife, who was in | bed in an adjoining room. Mrs. Cordova | refused to come out of the room, where- upon Guadalupe dragged her out, drew from his pocket a small butcher knife with a blade about five inches in length and began to stab his wife with it. His intention evidently was to stab her over the heart, but as she had her back to him and was in a corner of the room he | was unable to strike her on that part of | the b but stabbed her about the shoul- arms. All that saved Mrs. Cor- dova's life was the breaking of the knife- | blade. In striking the right shoulder hout three inches of the blade of broken off and dropped to | floor. After the blade was broken | ordova made several more slashes at his y was on the left side of the neck. Had the knife-blade not been broken at that time the jugular vein | would have been severed and death would have resultes Imost instantly. It is thought the injured woman’ will re- | cover. Cordova was captured at an early hour | this morning by Officer Munoz. He had been endeavoring to borrow a pistol from friends in a saloon to resist arrest, BIG GUNS TESTED BY ARMY OFFICERS Captain Clark of the Ordnance De- | partment Examining Fortifica- | tions Along the Coast. ASTOEI Or., Aug. 24.—Three of the ten-inch appearing guns mounted at | Fort Stevens were tested to-day. The test was made under the supervision of Captain Clark of the Ordnance Depart- ment, who is visiting the Pacific Coast on a special detail for technical exam- ination and official report as to the| completeness and efficiency of all the new batteries located along the coast. Everything connected with the mech- | anism and ammunition for the guns | was carefully scrutinized and measured | before the firing took place. Captain Clark expressed the highest satisfaction with the guns. The day was perfect and the test was success- | ful in -every respect. The projectile used was a solid conical shot weighing | nearly 600 pounds. Two of the guns were fired at a range of five and a half miles over the open water. At the point of impact with the ocean a col- | umn of water spouted into the air sev- | eral hundred feet. Commander Pat-| terson aimed the guns and controlled | the firing squad. The last shot fired | was aimed at a fixed target, which was the extreme cetached end of some old piling over the jetty. The range finder showed the point to be something over | three and a half miles from the gun. When the smoke cleared away it was found that the bunch of piles had been fairly struck, one of them being broken | and carried aw OWNER OF BLUE JAY LEFT INTHE LURCH Miner Employed by Him Works a Few Days and Suddenly | Disappears. { REDDING, Aug. 24.—Jack Graves, now sole owner of the Blue Jay mine, | that famous pocket yielder of Coffee | Creek, is laying awake nights trying to | figure out if he has been robbed. The | vield of the Blue Jay once caused the | largest mining rush that has ever been | experienced in Northern Californfa. Of late the property has lain idle, appa- rently having ceased ylelding. Jack Graves became sole owner. He recently decided to drive a tun- nel thirty feet 1n length to tap the ledge at a low point. He engaged a big, husky young miner, name unknown, to drive the drift. He provided him with tools and’'a month's provisions. The man was working alone three miles from the nearest habitation. Jack | Graves decided to visit the property | Thursday. The miner could not be | found. The energetic fellow had drift- | ed for six feet and panned every pound | of the dirt. He then took some of the | provisions and made his departure, | whither no one knows. | It is the uncertainty of the results of the stranger’s panning that is driv- ing Jack Graves gray-headed. Did he strike a $40,000 pocket, such as the mine | | once before yielded? It is possible, Time alone will tell. s MAKE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Inhabitants of Acre Territory An- nounce Themselves Free and Form a Commonwealth.

Notifies the Various Lines That It Can No Longer Abide by an Agreement. CHICAGO, Aug. 24—Passenger officlals of the Western roads to-day received no- tification from the Southern Pacific to the effect that that line had found it im- possible to carry out the plan for an equitable distribution of the east-bound soldier traffic from San Francisco. In its notification the Southern Pacific exploded a bomb by saying that several of the lines which had entered into the agreement to 1 | \ ! | of the war in the Philippines, in order that the { | have the business satisfactorily and fairly | Gistributed were operating with scalpers in San Francisco, Omaba and Kansas ers opportunities to secure rates consid- erably less than those originally agreed upon by all the lines. The agreement now is regarded as a dead letter, and many serfous complications are expected to arise as a result of the violation of it. The lines drew up a Government-sanc- ment which fixed a soldier’s rate of 50 from the Golden Gate to Omaha or Kansas City. It was agreed hi the regular rate from the Missouri iver points to this city should be main- tained. Soon after the soldiers began to return from the Philippines, it is sald, the offending lines began to collaborate with the brokers in San Francisco and the Missouri River points. Arrangements were made whereby the rate from Omaha was cut fully one-third. = e INTERESTS THE COAST. Land Decisions, Army Changes and List of Pensions Granted.

HARRISBRUG, Aug. 24.—The Republi- can State Convention to-day nominated | Colonel James Barnett of the Tenth Re; ment for State Treasurer, J. Hay Brown of Lancaster for Supreme CourtJudge and Josiah R. Adams of Philadelphia for Su- perior Court Judge. The nomination for Supreme Judge is| vacancies and no elector being entitled to vote for more than one person. The | platform indorses the administrations of President McKinley and Governor Stone, | commends the executive for his appoint- ment of Colonel Quay to the United States | Senate and pledges the party to a reduc- tion in the expenditures of the depart- ments of the State government. It begins | as follows: We congratulate the people upon the re ts | of the campaign of 1896, the establishment of a | sound currency, he securing of proper pro- tection to American industry and the election | of that champion of the common people, Wil- | llam McKinley, to be President of the United | States. The Republican party has been in con- | trol of the national Government for a Mttle | more than two years, and during that timei every promise made by it has been fulfilled. Busiuess is active and remunerative, labor is | employed at good and increasing wages, capital | has ample fleld for investment, and an era of unexampled prosperity has been inaugurated. | Much of the success of the Reoublican policy | adopted in 1896 is due to the good judgment, | wise counsel, administrative abllity, far-reach- ing diplomacy and broad-minded statesmanship | of our patriotic President. We firmly support | and fully indorse his administration and piace record the wish of the Republicans of Penn- | nia that he be nominated to lead our hosts | to v ry in the campalgn of 1909, and to this end we recommend the election of delegates who will give his candidacy earnest and Vig- orous support in the next national convention. | The platform reaffirms the St. Louis platform; declares for the malntenance of the gold standard and against the free| colnage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1; re- news allegiance to the policy of protection | and indorses the action of Pennsylvania | Congressmen in voting for the Dingley tariff, and continues: We congratulate the country on the success- | ful termination of the war with Spain and recognize the wisdom of the policy President | McKinley has tnaugurated in the management of affairs in Cuba and Porto Rico, and prom- ise him our faithful support in the prosecution | supremacy of the flag planted there by the valor of our army and navy be maintained. In additional paragraphs the platform | ays: | We have ceased to be content with supplying | 8 products for home consumption alone. We must keep pace with other nations in seeking new | fields for our commerce, and to this end we | support the policy of industrial, commercial | and national expansion. We favor for our national defense and the protection of closer commercial relations be- tween the sections of our vast territory, now an imperative necessity, the immediate com- mencement and early completion of a great canal that will give communication between the Atlantic and Pacific, as well as its pro- tection against foreign control. We favor the building up of a merchant marine upon the lines laid out by the biils re- ported favorably to the Senate and House, sec- ond session, Fifty-fifth Congress, so that we may bave a reserve defense in case of war, and that $200,000,000 of freightage now paid to | foreign ships may remaln to the American ship builder, the American ship owner, the American seaman and the American mechanic. CAPITALISTS HAVE BONDED COPPER MINE Improvements Representing an Out- lay of 81,000,000 Will Be Made in Shasta. REDDING, Aug. 24—The famous Afterthought group of sIx copper claims has just been bonded to John F. Cowan of Salt Lake for a wealthy com- pany of Salt Lake and Butte (Mont.) capitalists. The bonding was brought about by James Sallee, who recently disposed of the Bully Hill to J. R. de| Lamar and three other mining pro- moters. It is stated on good authority that the Afterthought group is already vir- tually sold, though the figure is kept secret. Mining Experts Willlam Mec- Dermott and A. J. Schumacker arrived from Utah a few days ago and on their recommendatfon the mine was imme- diately bonded. The Afterthought | group is considered the third richest| copper property in Shasta County. If the company takes the mine, as they | undoubtedly will, it means that new | smelters and other vast improvements will be made, representing an outlay of more than a million dollars. MOTORMAN ATTACKED BY AN ANGRY MOB Had Carelessly Run Down a Wagon, Seriously Injuring Its Four Occupants. CLEVELAND, Aug. 24—A big Consol- idated motorman and conductor were | threatened with violence by an angry mob | on Broadway this morning. But for the timely arrival of the police the motorman would undoubtedly have been roughly handled and probably lynched. Cries of “Lynch him!” Lynch the scab!” were heard on every side, and the police had ;3 charge the crowd repeatedly to save 'm. The Broadway car was almost down- town when, running at a rapid rate, it struck a spring wagon, throwing the four occupants to the pavement. They were: John Pofleh, cut severely about the head and one ear partially torn off; his wife and eight-year-ol@ daughter, both badly cut about the head and shoulders, and Joe Krazinstine, a neighbor, bruised. The police, coming on a riot call, had great difficulty in protecting the street-car men, but the crowd was finally dispersed after the patrolmen had used their clubs. e ’ Chartered for a Transport.
