Large numbers“ of the band have held a meeting in the | hills and have threatened to kill the | members of the Dawes Commission if tempt is made to force them v.o‘ take arbitrary allotments. Three years ago Chito Hargo and his band started an uprising in the Creek | Nation, which caused no end of trouble | |to the Government. These Indians| | have been considered peaceable except when they are stirred up by the lead- | ers upon some question which they think involves their survival. Then | they go on the warpath and indulge | in rapid murder and destruction, as in the old days of frontier settlement. Be- cause of this they have been carefully watched. | FIENDS KILL AND \lLTILATEf Investigation Sho“s Th‘lt Murder of Three Americans in Mexico Was Diabolical bl s o |ROBBERY THE MOTIVE Vietims Killed in Most Cow- [ ardly Manner and Bodies| Afterward Cut and Torn| Sdecial Dispatch to The Call.

Mulai Hamlet says that he ‘arrived at the camp of Zeelcl, Governor of Beni M'Sara tribe, at 3 o’clock on June 23, but that the captives did not arrive until the morning of June 24. Nothing unusual occurred during the exchange of the prisoners, who started immecdiately for their homes.

PORT AU PRINCE, June 24. — The French Mirister, M. de Prez, has re- ceived a letter from the Haytian Gov- ernment apologizing for the action of the palace guard in stoning the Min- ister while the latter was driving past the palace Wednesday. The incident, therefore, is regarded here as closed. BERLIN, June 24. — The Foreign Office treats the stoning of the German Minister at Port au Prince calmly and is disposed to regard it as the work of boys of the idle street populace. The Government has not yet determined what steps to take, but a Foreign Of- fice representative intimated that an apology would be demanded and that pressure will be brought to bear if necessary by a demonstration of war- ships. According to the Foreign Office the German Minister was not hurt, while the French Minister was struck by a stone and slightly wounded.

Old Man Says Riches Will Not Tempt Him Away From His Humble “Home. SRS S S Special Dispatch to The Call. 3’ SAN RAFAEL, June 24.—Patrick Ma- | 8uire, an inmate of the public alms- house in Marin County, learned yes- | terday that he is a rich man. By the regular legal course his claim to an in- terest in a $100,000 estate was estab- lished. The friends of the'old man were overjoyed at the good news, and they hastened to his humble cot in the in- firmary. But there was no smile on Ma- guire's face. “Let me stay here,” he replied. “T long ago knew that some day a part of | my sister’s wealth would be mine, but I did not ask for it. She did not know I was in this place, and I kept her ig- rorant of my whereabouts. My days are numbered and I do not need the money. I want to stay here, which is home to me. To go elsewhere would be to enter an uneasy life.” And so Patrick Maguire refuses to desert the life of an indigent to go even to a hospital, where he would receive every attention that money can supply. A little more than a year ago Mrs. | Hugh McDermott.of San Mateo died, leaving a large estate. She left no will, and there apparently being no direct | heirs, relatives have since been contest- {ing.over a division of the realty. | Maguire knew that by merely estab- lishing his identity he would be en- titled to a major portion of the estate, but he kept his secret until recently, when he explained all to the Rev. Father Byrnes. The priest wrote to the executors explaining the circumstances. The rest was a matter of detail. Ma- guire will receive his part of the estate. Perhaps he may never enjoy the bene- | fits of his fortune, for he is now almost ‘70 years old and paralysis holds him | | | | prostrate. Maguire is a vioneer of the State. He | | came to Marin County forty-two years | ago and accumulated a fortune, but it | dwindled away by reverses, and for| more than a year he has been a pauper.

His Disappearanca, However, Is Still Taken Seriously in Official Cirecles and by Steamship Authorities, LONDON, June 25.—The Morning Leader’s Paris correspondent says that the mystery concerning Kent J. Loomlis, brother of the assistant Secre- tary of State, has been cleared up. “Mr. Loomis,” the dispatch says, “appeared in Paris to-day (Friday) and left this evening on his way to North- east Africa, accompanied by Mr. Col- lins, the son of a well-known American journalist.” All the morning newspapers, with the exception of the Morning Leader, treat the disappearance of Kent J. Loomis as a serious affair. one of the special dispatches from Paris confirm the dis- patch sent by the Morning Lz2ader cor- respondent, saying that Loomis was seen in Paris yesterday and left last night on his way to Abyssinia. So far as London is concerned the disappear- ance of Loomis continues to be shoud- ed In the deepest mystery. The Lon- don manager of the North German Lloyd line is quoted as saying that the matter has become a serious ome, as every effort to find Loomis has falled. Loomis was proceeding to Abyssinia to deliver to Emperor Menelik the re- cently signed cdmmercial treaty be- tween the United States and Abyssinia.” It has now been arranged with Wil- liam H. Ellis, who accompanied Loomis from New York, to proceed to Abyssinia with the treaty, which was in the baggage of Loomis and was brought here from Cherbours. Ellis left Paris for Marseilles to-day, where he will take the steamer Oxus to-morrow for Jibutil, whence he will proceed inland to the capital of Abys- sinia. He will be gone about four months. Ellis positively declines to state whether he had the commercial treaty between the United States and Abys- sinia, but it has been learned from a reliable source that the treaty is in his possession.
