Literal War Breaks Out at ?z
Cananea, Mexico, Where k
a
is Located Big Copper ?
Camp of Greene Co. .
A special from Naco, Ariz., says: P
Thirty-five Mexicans and six Americans
were killed Friday at Cananea, r
'Mexico, forty miles south of Naco, ^
where is located the great copper g
camps of Colonel W. C. Greene. d
The trouble arose over the demand js
of the Mexicans for an increase in S(
wages from $3.50 to $5.00 per day. ti
Every effort was made to pacify n
the excited Mexicans. However, be* h
tween 4 and 5 o'clock Friday aften- c
noon the Mexicans opened fire on t<
the Americans with the result as c
stated. G
There has been bad blood at Can- j
ianea for some time, and only a month a
ago the home of the superintendent
t -of the mine was dynamited by un- ti
kuo?rn parties. Friday one of the po~ ^
lico^.-:ii of the city was killed by an q
.Anuvlcan, who claimed it was a per sen:-'
grievance he had for the Mex- 0
lean. This started the outbreak. n
Colonel W. C. Greene, president e
of the Cananea Consolidated Copper s
company, wires B. A. Packard, mana- c
ger cf his cattle ranch, that forty- ^
one men had been killed. Ameri- p
cau Consul W. J. Galbraith wired a
the war department asking that n
troops be sent from Fort Huachuca, a
Ariz., to protect American citizens e
and property.

Vice Consul Alvarez, a Mexican at ^
Cnnanea, stated that American sol- Q
diers or armed men would not be al- ^
lowed to cross the lin* ^
QUIET IS RESTORED.
Latest dispatches from Bisbee state
that the situation at Cananea is again
normal. The American volunteers
who went across the line at Naco
with Governor Ysabel of Sonera on
Saturday morning, returned to Bis- c
bee at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. u
Their services were no longer need- r
ed, although their presence there dur- d
ing Saturday before the arrival of
Colonel Kosterlisky with Mexican ru- s
* rales, held the situation in check. s
The town is now under martial k
law, and Colonel Kosterlisky is dfearming
Americans and Mexicans r
alike. A telephone message to the h
Bisbee Review Sunday, says not a s
single shot has been fired since Sat- I
nrday afternoon at 6 o'clock. Colonel v
Kosterlisky and Governor Ysabel, as- ii
sisted by General Torres, are all on o
tbe ground, and Colonel Greene makes
the statement that the trouble is e
over. e
t A conservative estimate of the num- s
^ ber killed m the two days' fighting is
thirty-five Mexicans and six Amerl- n
cans. "v
There has been no public excitement
in Mexico City over the Cananea
riot, although much concern was
6hown by American residents lost {
the trouble might spread through the
unwise action of the people of Can>
anea. ^ s
There was some censure expressed \
of Consul Galbraith for what'appear- J
ed to be his one-sided attitude and \
call for aid from his government i
That more Mexicans were killed and c
wounded than were Americans Is t
thought to show that the latter were i
^ possibly the aggressors. j

At the meeting in New York of the

Moted Irish Leader and Originator of
Land League Passes Away.
A notable career closed Wednesday

illness Michael Davitt, noted Irish

Mr. Davitt retired from the representation
of South Mayo in parliament

BOMBS AND BELLS
Aftermath of Alfonso and
Victoria's Wedding.
SIXTEEN PEOPLE KILLED
One Bomb Was Fortunately Deflected
and Lives of King and Newly
Made Queen Were Saved
Procession Scattered.
At Madrid, 'Spain, Thursday at
noon, King Alfonzo and Princess Victoria
of Battenburg were married in
the Church of San Jeronimo. Just as
they were pronounced man and wife,
the news was signalled to the waiting
crowds, and all Madrid broke Into
frantic demonstrations of joy, while
cannon boomed and church bells
chimed.
Entering the royal coach the king
and queen of Spain began the return
journey to the palace amid scenes of
the wildest enthusiasm, the throngs
shouting "Long live Queen Victoria!"
Just as they were nearing the end
of the progress tb the royal palace,
o hnmh n&rrowlv missed ending their
lives.
An official statement indicates the
possibility that two bombs were
thrown, one exploding in the air by
striking a telegraph wire, and the
other falling so close to the royal
carriage that a groom at the head of
the wheel horses was killed, as also
were the wheel horses.
At least sixteen persons tfere killed
and a large number wounded. Suspicion
points to a Catalonian named
Manuel Duran, as the leader of the
regicidal conspiracy, and he Is In
prison awaiting examination.
The following were killed: Captain
Parrcsa, commanding part of the
king's escort; Lieutenant Reysient;
Lieutenant Pendergast; six soldiers;
the Marquise of Colosa; her daughter;
Don Antonio Calvos his niece,
aged six years; Jose Sola; military;
Luis Fonseca; one joyal groom, who
was leading a horse drawing the
coach carrying the king and queen.
Several of those killed were standing
on the balcony of the house, from
which the bomb was thrown.
The explosion occurred just as the
royal couple were about to enter the
palace. The route of the cortege had
been diverted from Arsenal street to
Mayor street, owing to popular desires.
The procession had just passed
through M!ayor street, and was
about to turn into the Esplanade leading
to the palace, when an explosion
shook the buildings in the vicinity,
stunning a large number of people
and throwing the cortege into, inextricable
confusion.
The royal coach was brought to a
sudden stop by the shock, officers and
soldiers of the escort falling to the
ground about the equerry and" horses
that had been killed. The "screams of
the terrified multitude mingled with
- T tttoq (m.
the groans 01 iue u^us. *?, ?
mediately seen that the royal coach
was Intact, except, as It had been
damaged by flying splinters. King Alfonso
immediately alighted and assisted
Queen Victoria out of the carriage.
They then entered another
coach and were driven swiftly to the
palace.
All this happened so quickly that
the people away from the immediate
vicinity were not aware of the tragedy.
Soon, however,, there appeared
the empty royal coach with two
horses missing and the other spattered
with blood, several of them
bleeding from wounds. The grooms
and drivers looked deathly pale in the
spangled unifon^. Then came a boy
shouting that a bomb had been
thrown at the king. The appearance
of the king and queen in a coach
brought out delirious ovations. The
fact was reoognized that the sovereigns
had been spared.
In the meantime the scene of the
tragedy presented a horrible spectacle,
with dead men and horses lying
about literally torn to pieces. Intense
excitement prevailed, the mob
invading the streets, while the guards
soiight to maintain order and block
the approaching streets. The bodies
were wrapped up in blankets and
removed on litters, while the wounded
were taken to hospitals In ambulances.
The pavement was covered
with blood and the upper stories of
the buildings nearest were spattered
with it.
The place from which the bomb
was thrown is a boarding house.
The tragic event and the narrow
margin by which King Alfonso and
the new queen escaped death has
caused the brilliancy of the royal wedding
to be temporally forgotten, although
it was to have inaugurated a
period of unprecedented festivities.
A FAKE, OR A FACT?
Nihilists in Portland, Oregon, Plan to
"Remove'' President Roosevelt.
The presence in Portland, Oregon,
of a large body of Russian Nihilists,
who, it is alleged, have been plotting
to assassinate President Roosevelt,
has just been learned through detectives
who are actively at work en the
case.

SHONTS ON CANAL
Head of Commission Answers
Questions of Atlantans.
MAKES BANQUET SPEECH
Explains Some Inside Intricacies in
Connection with Great Ditch and
the Situation as It Prevails
at Present on Isthmus.
One of the largest, most representative
and enthusiastically interested as
fcemeiages 01 auouutlu> w<u uiai. &auiered
at the New Kimball Wednesday
night to hear and welcome Theodort
Perry Shonts, chairman of the isthmian
canal commission.
The big banquet room of the New
Kimball was crowded, the guests coming
at the invitation of the Atlanta
chamber of commerce. At seven
o'clock a delightful buffet supper was
served, and it was not until after
eight o'clock that Mr. Shonts was introduced
for an address. However,
Just before making the regular address
which he had prepared, Mr.
Shonts stated that he had been asked
a number of questions by the members
of the chamber of commerce regarding
the Panama canal, and he
would take great pleasure in answering
them.
Mr. Shonts, in answering these
questions, said in part:
"When the commission assumed
charge of its present undertaking, we
found affairs at the Washington end
in a chaotic condition. Our first work
was at this end to create a Washington
office of administration for supplies,
accounts, finances, etc.
"Preparing to start for the canal
in June, we received tne resignation
of Engineer Wallace, and for that
reason our trip was delayed, and it
was July before we arrived at Panama.
Here we found a state of affairs
little short of panic among the
employees, and it was evident that
the least trouble of any kind would
have preciptated such disastrous results
as to end in a real panic, which
would prove of terrible detrim*. it to
the entire undertaking. I do not
mean to reflect on any one, but merely
state what were the existing conditions.
"Governor Magoon was holding the
fort steadily, and the sanitary engineers
were doing their work effectively,
although it may have seemed to
others that the? were giving a very
great deal of attention \o theory. But
they had accomplished much, and had
proved that their theories were all
rigbt. After careful examination, the
first thing we did was to stop the
work that was going on, close down
the shovels and prepare a regular
campaign ?cr the purpose of. getting
ready to work on a sound and practical
basis. Sickness was on every
hand, supplies were secured only at
enormous prices, and there were some
hardly able to earn the real necessities.
"So all the digging was stopped, and
all available force set to work building
quarters to afford relief to all
classes of laborers. Even the American
clerks were then living in illsmelling
and unsanitary buildings.
We fumigated each and every house.
We built administration houses and
the usual accessories. In place of the
seven or nine thousand men at that
time, with sickness and fear on every
side, we now have a force of twentyseven
thousand men who are happy,
and at the time I left Panama the
percentage of sickness was less there
than it was In New York city, although
I should add that this was the
healthiest season in Panama.
"We built sewers and roads, and
gave Panama the first clearing up in
two hundred years. We built waterworks
and have water from mountain
streams, with four reservoirs of

health conditions building hotels
and mess balls, the laborers now have
houses fit to live in, and conditions
fit for work.
CONSTABLE OUTSPRINTED MOB.
Landed Alleged Murderer in Jail After
Exciting Chase.
Pursued by a mob, a constable
from Tipton county arrived in Memphis,
Tenn., Thursday with Will Williams,
a negro prl?cr, and placed
him in the Shelby county jail for safe
keeping. Williams, with two brothers,
is charged with killing Jack Bid
die, a weil known farmer in l.pion
county, recently.
It is reported that one of Williams'
brothers was lynched by & mob in
the woods near the scene of the crime.
BONDSMEN ASKED RELEASE.
Their Action Caused Banker DuBom
to Be Landed in Jait.
The bondsmen of Gordon DuBose,
former president of the First National
bank of Ensley, Ala., asked for release.
and Mr. DuBose was confined in
the county jail. He was arrested several
days ago by federal officials on
the charge of misapplying $48,000 of
the bank's funds.

' SENATE IS THE WINNER.
Conferees Make Few Changes in Rat#
Bill as Passed by Upper House.
"Jim Crow" Feature Cut Out.
A Washington special says: In sadness
and in sorrow Senator Tillman
has been compelled to abandon his
"jim crow" car amendment to the
rate hi1!. The pressure upon the republican
conferees, brought through
the ins!?cence of the northern negroes,
was too strong. They forced Senator
Tillman to recede from his advoccacy
of that provision in order to insure
the incorporation into the bill of the
five days' notice preliminary to a
hearing upon application for a temporary
injunction. This Is one of the
most important features of the bill,
and by holding it as a club over SenHill

conferees were able to compel him
to abandon his fight for the aouthern
negroes.
As agreed upon by the- conferees,
the rate bill is a complete victory
for the senate. This was, however, to
be expected for the reason that the
many amendments put on by the senate
strengthened the bill, and there
was no difficulty in inducing the house
conferees to agree to almost all
these.
One feature of the conference agreement
is the striking out of sleeping
cars. This may bring a lively fight
In one or both houses. There are adready
charges that this was accomplished
through undue influence
brought upon Senators Elkins and
Culloin, and there is talk of some
sensational charges.
TRIBUTE PAID CONFEDERATES.
Great Thrcng Attends Exercises in
National uemexery at wasnington.
Sunday several thousand persons
visited the national cemetery at Arlington,
in Washington, where, with
music and oratory, tribute was paid
to the confederate soldiers whose
bodies lie at rest beside the soldiers
of the north. The exercises were
held in the confederate section of the
cemetery, where lie 267 confederates
who died in hospitals and prisons In
the vicinity of Washington, and whose
bodies were placed there through the
act of the late President McKinley.
The services were under the auspices
of the Confederate Veterans Association
of Washington, the Daughters
of the Confederacy and the Southern
Relief Society.
A feature of the exercises was the
unvailing of the floral " Southern
Cross" by Miss Elizabeth Gould. It
was the gift of A, J. MioLaurin Camp

rsgs
Fated Car Contained Crowd of Pleat's
ure Seekers and Was in Chargs
of Inexperienced Motorman,
Who is Blamed.
\ Eleven persons were killed and 74
twenty injured through the overturning
of a large trolley car on the
Rhode Irland Company's line at
Moore's corner, East Providence, just |
after l o'clock, Saturday morning. ^ ^
The car, which was of the open type *||
variety, and had fifteen seats, was . >|
well filled with a party of Thornton
people, who were returning home
after a day's outing at Crescent park, *
a well known pleasure resort on the M
Providence river, several miles below
the city.
There were two people among the - ^
dead who could not be identified.
Mbore's Corner, the scene of the
accident, is five miles from Provi- vjg
dence, and is situated midway of iw
Crescent Park and the town of East
Providence.
lOn the Crescent Park side of -Jl|
Moore's Corner, there is a heavy
grade, at the foot of which is a sharp J|
curve. From the meagre reports received
after the accident, it Is
not apparent whether the brakes failed
to work. It is known, however,
that the car came down the grade -::|||
at a rapid rate of speed and, striking
the curve, shot the rails and was JSH
overturned. The car left the rails
with such great force that the trucks
left the body of the car and jumped
more than 20 feet from the track. -^19
The spot where the accident hap- .
pened is in a sparsely settled section '
and it was some little time after the :|a
wreck before the news reached the
city. Ambulances and physicians were M
immediately dispatched to Moore's
Corner from Providence. In the mean- ;||i
time residents of the neighborhood -|1|
were aroused and did all in their ^
power to relieve the sufferings of the - 4jj|
injured, some of whom were taken -|i
to the hospital as soon as the ambo? --'Jm
lances arrived. Others of the injured 3 ;
were removed to nearby residences. 'M
Many of the victims of the accident
were of English birth, and were 'M
employed at the British Hosiery Compaay's
mill and other textile factories jlj
at Thornton.
The motorman, W. J. Laucher, of
Olnevville, was making his first trip
over the road. Laucher was put in ^21

It was determined at a meeting of :
the Savannah, 6a., chamber of com*
merce Thursday afternoon to hold
an immigration convention in Savannah
about June 15. Many speeches
were made, showing the great scare*
ity of labor for farms, railroads, saw
mills and turpentine enterprises. '
