BLOODY FIGHT WITH BANDITS,
How Two Mineowners Battled for Their
Live.
St. Louis, May 21. Edward Callahan,
owner of the Barranra silver mine in
Mexico yielding 1000 tons of $20-ore a
day and a millionaire, is here en route
to New York to be treated for the in
juries he received in a fight with bandits.'
It waa widely repotted at the time that
be had been killed.
On April 29, Mr. Callahan and his
partner, James Kaline, were held up
near Ameca, Mexico,' by Mexican
bandits, while on their way to their
mine with the weekly payroll. After
receiving 17 knife wonnds, Callahan fell
across the wagon seat, weak from the
; loss of blood. Lying there' helpless, he
witnessed a terrible eight.
-" "The team had traveled perhaps 100
yards after we were attacked," said Mr.
. Callahan. "About 20 feet back, lying in
. the road, I saw Jim. He was on his
face, but I could see ' that he was not
dead, though the blood waa pouring from
a wound in his side and dyeing the dust
about him. . .
"As I lay there helpjess, I saw bis
hand steal np toward ' his gun, and a
sudden hope sprang np within me.
But the Mexicans, too, had seen the
move, and it cost him bia life. With a
yell, one of the fellows Bprang upon him
and wrenched his gun from his belt. ' I
bad raised my head to see, and, pointing
the eixshooter, he fired every chamber at
me, but without effect, though I dropped
down again. Raising his dirk, he plung'
ed it into poor Jim's body repeatedly,
nearly every blow, as an examination
afterward showed, going through him.
, Believing that (Jallaban was mortally
wounded the
bandits left him to his
fate.
. Strange Aeeldent In a Copper Mine.
Battle Mountain, Nev. May 21.
A peculiar accident occurred Wednesday
evening at the Adelaide copper mine,
about forty-five miles west of here near
Golconda. '
A miner named William Meagher was
working in a shaft about seventy-five
feet deep. . He bad put in a stick of
giant powder, fired the fuse and gave the
signal to hoist. His jumping info the
: bucket caused it to swing, and Meagher
was thrown out and fell, striking on his
head. The men on top were afraid to
go to bis rescue. ':..?..-.
. In a few seconds the explosion oc-
curred. The men descended and found
Meagher lying about three feet from
where the blast went off. His sknll was
badly fractured but he was not serious
ly hurt by the explosion, although the
shatt is only 6x11 feet. The injured
man was brought to the surface, and re
gained consciousness in three boors. He

ENGLISH THE LANGUAGE TO BE USED
,.
Greece Will Neither Fay Indemnity,
Nor Agree to Any Change
of the Frontier.
Nbw York, May 22. The Journal
this morning says :
Silver bullion has just sold at 60 cents
per ounce, the lowest point it has ever
touched, except for ' a short period in
1894, when it sold at 58 cents per ounce.
The steady decline in silver Is attrib
uted toconditionsabroad. Paris has been
fairly flooded with South American dol
lars which have been sold on this side
as low as two francs 22 centimes for the
dollar. The price of silver in the Indian
bazaars has fallen to 76 rupeeB, the low
est price on record. The exchange be
tween London and Shanghai has also
fallen to almost the lowest, and even at
the low rate, China does not' absorb a
large quantity of silver.
, Dating from the declaration by Japan
of its intention to abandon the use of
silver as its standard coinage and go up
on a gold basis, the price of the while
metal has been steadily declining.
a papal ruling.
Purpose Is to Hake Kngllsb. the Lan
(DS of the American Chare.
Chicago, May 22. Information was
obtained today that Rome has just
transmitted to the Catholic church in
the United States the most magnificent
ruling of recent years bearing on eccle
siastical matters in America. The de
cision. which has reference to parishes
made np of foreigners, is literally as fol
lows:
"Children born in America of foreign.
born parents, whose native tongue is not
the English, are not obliged, when of
age, to become members ot the parish
to which their parents belong; but they
have the right to join a pri6h in which
the language of the country that is
English is nsed. Catholics not born in
America, but knowing the English lan
guage, have the right to become mem
bers of the parish" in which English is
in use, and they cannot be compelled to
submit themselves to the jurisdiction of
the rector of a church built for. people
who continue to speak the language of
foreign country.'!
The evident purpose of Rome i9 to
make English the language of the Amer
ican cborcb, and thus to encourage the
development of a spirit of more perfect
union among the members of the Cat Cl
one faith. Parishes in which a foreign
language is r.sed are tolerated as tempo
rary institutions, which will disappear
as soon as the conditions making their
erection expedient will haye passed
away. The present ruling is perfectly
consistent with the enlightened policy
adopted and followed by Leo XIII.
Says Greece Will Not Pay.
Paris, May 22. Advices today from
Athens say the Greek minister of foreign
affairs, M. Skouloudia', . in conversation
with several foreign envoys declared
Greece will not pay any indemnity to
Turkey nor agree to the rectification of
the frontier. '
Fraternal Bodies Attacked. .
Oakland, Calif., May 22. An address
made before the Epworth League here
by William H. Waste, who is a past
president and an active worker, has
drawn widespread attention and occa
sioned general comment. .Waste treat'
ed of the "Relation of the Eoworth
League to the Associated Charities,"

offered the suggestion that fraternal
bodies failed to yield the assistance to
others that was rightfully expected Dy

to them for aid. ' ' . .

forward movement of the Turke.

WILL SEARCH AMERICAN VESSELS
The
President Signs the Bill Appro
priating: 850,000 for Relief of '.-'
Americans In Cuba.
. . New York, May 24. A dispatch to
the Journal from Clefuegos, Cuba, says :
In an interview; with -Captain-General
Weyler, npon his arrival .here from
Placetas, in reference to Senator Mor
gan's resolution, the general said :
"I am not surprised with the action
thus far taken, nor shall I be if the
bouse concurs in the senate resolution
and sends it to the president.' Your
jingoes are in the saddle, and evidently
bent npon forcing the country into some
foreign complications in order to detract
attention from the fast-approaching in
ternal crisis. : ' '."''".
"The few 'scattering bands of Cuban
dynamiters, railroad wreckers, horse and
cattle thieves, plantation burners and
highwaymen now in the field here, who
hold no port and possess no seat of civil
government, have no right to expect
recognition. Such distinction at Presi
dent McKinley's hands, issued in the
face of my own proclamation officially
declaring the greater part of the island
to be already pacified, would hold the
Washington executive np to the ridicule
of European powers, .and prompt a
healthy outburst of sympathy for the
Spanish cause, especially from neighbor
ing Old-World governments, aleo pos
sessing colonies in the West Indies, in
brief, recognition may aid the Cuban
junta in placing a few bonds in the
United States, bat it will at the same
time assure the successful issue of our
proposed new Spanish loan in Paris,
London and Vienna, and enable us to
carry on the war with renewed vigor.
''Personally, ! shall be glad. If recog
nition comes, our position then will be
more clearly defined. It will work
virtual abrogation of our special treaty
with the United States, place Yankees
residing in Cuba in an identical position
before the courts with other foreign reai
dents, and I shall be troubled less by the
constant complaints and often ridiculous
demands from American consuls. Ii
would also relieve the Spanish govern
ment of ali responsibility' for the de,
struction of foreign property not actually
within the line of Spanish defenses, and
further simplify matters by assuring us
the right to board and search American
vessels whenever suspected."
Continuing, the captain-general ex
pressed delight at the propositon to have
consuls here furnish free transportation
to all Americans who desire to go to the
United States, but said he considered
the plan to distribute to' resident
Americans as an indirect and nninstified
attempt to interfere in local affairs. 1
APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT,
Resolution to Relieve Americans
in
Cuba Becomes a Law.
Washington, May 24. The resolu
tion appropriating $50,000 for the relief
of American citizens in Cuba reached
the White House at half past 12 o'clock
today, after being signed by both houses
while they were in' open session. The
president signed the resolution immedi
ately. He will at once consult with the
state department reB pectin? the adoption
of measures of relief in addition to those
taken last week, when Coneul-General
Lee was authorised to draw npon - the
state department for $10,000 for pro
curement of immediate supplies.
Republican in Caucus,
. Washington, May 24. Immediately
after the adjournment of the senate to
day, the Republican senators went into
caucus. Allison said the caucus was call
ed on the .request of several senators,
and some of those who signed the call
stated they wanted to know something
about the plan of procedure for consid
eration of the tariff bill.
Aldrich, who reported -the bill, took
the floor, but bad not proceeded far
when some one aeked him for an ex
planation of the sugar schedule. Aldrich
went into quite an elaborate explanation
of the schedule, presenting th'e figures of
the present law, the Dingley bill andthe
senate amendment. He said the senate
amendments wers less advantageous to
sugar refineries than the Dingley bill or
the present law.

Madrid Heraldo Urges the Duke to
Resign.
, New York, May 24. A Herald dis
patch from Madrid says :
- This Heraldo in Madrid devotes an
editorial to theTetuan incident, strongly
urging the duke to resign. Each party
blames the other for the attitude of the
United States since the heated personal
discussion which caused the assault. ,
El Imparcial in an editorial this morn
ing criticises the government severely,
saying that its policy has always been.
one of indecieion and simulated optim
ism, and it fears the Duke of Tetuan's
act has brought the party conflict to an
acute stake. El Imparcial also con-
demnB the government for allowing
Americans in Havana to openly interfere
with Spanish concerns.
The Madrid press generally displays
great anxiety about President McKin
ley's attitude.
El Liberal makes no original comment,
and only quotes the opinion of the for
eign press relative to the American atti
tude. The Carlists are anxiously await
ing the outcome of the incident.
