The negroes fired upon were in the employ of Stevedore Geddes. of the Harrison line of steamer.

There was only a handful of men on the scene at the time of the shooting. The wharf at * this point is almost to tally covered with freight and nearby are a number of box cars.

At 7:15 she set ner colors, ' prov- t ing to be a Spanish gunboat. Ilimme- 2 diately ordered the American ensign x hoisted on the Allianca and salited s the Spaniard, which salute was duly a returned by her. I then. salnted once I more and supposed it was atfan 'end. t But about five minutes later the a Spaniard fired. a blank cartridge and c a few minutes later anothei' one, -fol- N lowed shortly afterward by three solid t shots, all of which fell shbrt 'of the c Allianca. but showing' c6nblusively s that theSpaniard was firing at us. I c being fully six miles off shore and on I the high seas paid. no furiftier attention s to the Spaniard, but kept"'upon- my r course. The Spaniard kept up the. t chase; although gradually. di-opping I astern, fully twenty-five miles. . ] I desire to know it the Spaniard had t any right to fire on my ship, with the probable chince- of endangering the t lives of the.passeno'ers and crew under I my charge, and co' pe-e to heave to e as he probabl.y intended. t I'respeetfully ask -for information I on that. subject' as I did not.

Marci 12.--he anisdon of an act of tile i'2isia iire from the code prepared some time go a'nd -.'opted by the State Lzfrisia ure witnout reading. has cost nearly 11 county treasurers in the State $2o ach, The act was omitted by the codi ifer while preparing the code. and thetL the codewas adopted all pther aws thaii th'oe -mentioied therein vere'tepealed. *The - mattere developed yesterday vhen -it was called to the attention of 3mptroller General Norton. - The .omptpoller, inasmuch as a legal uestion as ~to the amount of salaries a commissions each'treasurer is to re :eive from the '93-'94 coll'idtion of xes was left in doubt, referred it to he Attorney General. Mr. Norton xplained the 'trouble somewhat in his shape: , The attention of the department was alled to.it by several of the treasur rs.:tliemselves. 'It hppears that in 882.an ~adt".*as passed fixing the inouit that each treasurer should re eive in-Yommissions during the fiscal ear at $800, an .eyception being made f Qharleston,.where the amount al owed was ab.>ut $2,000; and in Horry, %hesterfieldand Lancaster, where the .giounts were less. In 1883 another act was passed raising the general amount rom $800 to $1,000. It-now develops hai this last act was omitted from he codification of the laws of the state;-and .that code,- -having been dopted by -the Legislature . and all ts not contaed therein havg been leclared repealed, the difficulty is to now whether the treasurers shall et eir $,00Q or only800, the latter %e' te only'act ina tle code. La-tvening.the;Attorn'ey Gen'ral endered thezfollowing opinion: Ion James.Norton, Comptroller Gen eril. - Sir: The con\.imns allowed by aw 'to the county treasurers in this 'tate are as follows:, - In all the counties, except Chester ield, Lemington, Berkely and Orange urg-3 pe cent. upon first $10,000; 2 i ent upon next $0,000; 1 per cent ipoh next $10,000-; and one-half of 1 >er cent. upon all 'anidunts collected iver $30,000; providid the same shall Lot exceed $800 or be less than $500; xcept the county of Charleston, where he commissions shall not exceed ,6O0 && $1,000 is allowed for cleric serviees. In Lexfington 'county the treasurer .ets a salary of $600 a year in - lieu of 1llgommissions.

MCB RULE !N ACOLORADO MINING CAMP. Americau 3'urdered, and on a Blood hounid's Evidence. Six Itafans Shot to ]kath-~A German Lynched for Rape. DENvER1. Col., March 13-Mob rule has reigned among the miners in the coal camps of Huerfano county since Sunday night and seven of their vic tins-all but one Italians, have, been slain by bullets from the mob's Win chesters. Four of the Italians were kiled from ambush yesterday, while being taken'prisoners in a wagon to the jail at Walsenberg after a coro ner's- commitment for complicity -in the murder of Abner Hixon, a Tem perance saloon keeper at Rouse. An American boy who was drivin the wagu was unintentionally kil ed by the fusilade of bullets. Before day light this morning a mob of miners and citizens of Walsenberg gathered outside the jail where two Italians were confined, got inside by a pre tense, andkilled both the prisoners. It is reported that the same mob, .thirst ing or more bloodshed, later took out of jail a German charged with -rape and killed him. The names'of the dead so far as known are as follows: Joseph Welsby boy, driver of prisoners' wagon; Lo renzo Danino, .killed in jail. He beat Hixon to deAth; Pete Jacobini, killed in jail. . The names of the four. Ital ians killed offthe road are unknown. Five 'othe- su ' ts had been releas ed fiomcdstody ore the mab. rose. All of them lived at Rouse,.whep ' the '*ltians far- outnumbered tihe Azueri cans. .. Governor McIntyre telegraphed the State Departinet at Washington that he had instructed the Sheriff of 'Huer fano coiinty'to give him particulars and protect the Italiansfrom further mob violence. . He stated in his -dis patch that from information, he be Ileved the Italian miners were Amer-% ican citizens, but he was not certain. He further stated that militia nearest the scene could be forwarded at short notice. Tonight'ie received a meagre report from Sneriff O'Malle, who said the two killed were ld on the road, the others escaping. He has instructed the sheriff to call-for assistance if nec essary in doing his duty.: A -report from Walsinber tonight states that three of the Italians who were be'i brought here from. Rouse esca their'names being given as Antonio Gobetto. Stanislo; Vittano and Fran cisco Rosetto. It is- also stated there were eleven Italla"s in the wagon. Today's attack upon the jail was the.result of the extreme excitement provoked by the summary vengeance of Hixon's friends.' Three other Ital ians, who viere in custody as 'pssible accessories to the murder of ixon, were overlooked by. the mob.: The massacre of the fiv.e men from ambush was evidently well lanned, with the excqptionof the ng .Af .the driver. Four ofTose-killed ha been held for trial by the coroner's jury. It is.open ly asserted that Welsby s death was accidental. -In order to be cer' that the fifthItalian held for Hixon'' mur deir should not escape, the mob today did not stop to identify the two prison ers found in the jail, but riddled both with rifie balls. The motive for the murder of Hixon is the subject ''of much speculation. The deceased was thirty years ofd and a native of Arkansa, and was not of an aggressive or. quarrelsome disposi tion. It is thought that he was attack ed last Sunday while on the raad from Walseuberg to Rouse, a coal ca~mp six' miles distant, and knocked frora~ his horse by a blow on thehead. Workmen going to the Rouse mine discovered Hixon with his skull frac tared. .The injured man was uncon scious and died two hours'later. There was abso)i.tely no clue to the pcrpe trators of the .crimre, but-T. J:-Brewer, pit boss of the coal mine, .solv~ed this difficnlty.. Hastening. to his honze, he secured a trained bloodhound and put him on the scent. The -dog struck a trail that led the pursuers" to the rear of a salotm half a mile away. The inatelligent brute rushed to an old table standig in the rear roo'm. An ecam ination of the table revealed fresh blood stains. Lorenzo Danino and Jobattb Antonio, who were found in thie room were immediately, arrested. The dog continued. to a' neighorm cabii where-Pete Posetta and.rn Anrico were found. The quartette of Italians made many damaging admis sions of the'knowledg~e of-the murder and upon close <questionino' the names of five others implicatea were di vulged. Danino was charged with being thae chief conspirator. Horse men scoured the surrpunding copintry and by 4 o'clock in'the afterjioon all the suspected Italiansdrere under ar rest and lodged inail where they re mained until calledto attend the in est. "After the attack on the wagon party all was compara'tive'ly qniet untilso after midnight. About..that r;ime seven 01' eight men, wearing masks knocked at'the door of the jail, where Lorenzo Danino,who was charged by the other Ifalians as having struck .the blows that -killed Hixon on Sunaay and the Italian wounded in the wagon attack, wvere confined. In answer to a ques tion the men said O'Malley, the sher ~if, wanted to entor. As soon as the :lor was opened the guard-found guns in their faces. Part of .the masked men then went to the cell? where the two Italians were confined and fired ng~ht or ten shots. Each prisoner re 3eived four or five bullets. One died nstantly, but the other lived a short aime mn great agony. Whiskey Seized.
