KILLED TROOPS BY MINES.
How the Revolutionists Slew an Army of
Columbian Regulars.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 4. The
British steamer Atrato arrived here
from Colon, Columbia. She reports
that there was heavy fighting at Bocas
del Toro last week. The revolutionists
are said to have mined the town of
Bocas. While the government troops
were inarching into Bocas to recapture
it, the mines were exploded and almost
all of the government soldiers, killed.
The revolutionists still remain in pos
session of Bocas. Colon and Panama
are the only towns on the isthmus now
in the control of the government and
troops are being poured into these two
ports with the hope of stemming the
revolutionary advance.
The revolutionists are winning so
much sympathy upon every hand that
the government has decided to reorgan
ize its forces. The Atrato carried 40
government field officers from Savailla
to Colon, including General Guiveras,
who has been selected, it is rumored,
as the new governor of Panama The
revolution in the isthmus now greatly
hampers the fruit business there and
it is impossible to predict when quiet
will be restored.
To Start With Non-Union Men.
Denver, June 4. The strike situa
tion in the building trades is unchanged
today except for" the declarations of the
owners of the Ornamental Wire Works
that they will start up with non-union
labor. No serious trouble is antici
pated if the attempt is made.

Paluia, two of the president's sons,

went aboard to bid them good bye, was
Quite overcome bv the parting. He
gave each son a hearty embiace as 'he
left the steamer, and spoke words of
encouragement to them.
Striking Bakers Enjoined.
Kansas City, June 4. Striking
union bakers were today enjoined by
Judge John F. Phillips, of the United
States circuit court, who issued a tem
porary order restraining them from
patrolling in front of the Grand avenue
bakery, or otherwise interfering with
the employes of that concern'. The
action grows out of the lockout of the
union bakers by six leading firms,
members of tho Masters' Association.

cepted Great Britain's terms and they
were prepared to sign terms of surren
der. Mr. Broderick, the war secretary,
personally communicated this message
to King Edward, who was at Bucking
bam palace. But the government de
clined to take any chances and nothing
concerning the receipt of this message
was allowed to leak out. About 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon the war de
partment received the message from
Lord Kitchener, announcing the sign
ing of the terms of peace, .. .. '
. The clerk on duty at the war office
transmitted this message to Bucking
ham palace, where King Edward was
lunching. At about 5 o'clock word
was received permitting the publication
of this message, and the small notice
which was stuck up outside the war
office consisted of a copy of Lord Kitch
ener's cablegram. A similar notice
was put outside the colonial office.
Beyond these two skimpy bits of paper,
London knew nothing of the great
event. In the clubs, the hotels and
the newspaper offices, which were al
most all deserted, the momentous news
was ticked out on the tape.
Then like wildfire, at about 6 o'clock,
London awakened to the fact that the
South African war was over. By 8
o'clock the news had become generally
known. A few belated extra editions
of newspapers were peddled about the
streets, but before their appearance the
enterprising hawkers, who for a long
time past had kept union jacks, feath
ers and horns stored up in anticipation
of the present event, were much in evidence.
Cabling "from Pretoria, the corre
spondent of the Daily Mail, after an
nouncing the signing of the terms of
surrender, says the British authorities
absolutely rejected the suggestion of
the Boer delegates that the terms of
surrender should be ratified by Mr.
Kruger, and declared that the Boers
in Europe had no hand in the settle
ment. "The terms willTshow," continues
the correspondent, "that the British
government carried its contentions on
every vital point, while the minor
concessions, particularly those in re
gard to the generous financial treat
ment, will greatly appeal to the Boers
in general. The value of Lord Kitch
ener's personality as a factor in the
conclusion of peace can never be over
estimated. There is no doubt that
peace will be popular among the
Boers."
Forest Fires in Arizona.
Tuscon, Ariz., June 5. Forest fires
continue unabated in the Huachuca
mountains. Hundreds of thousands
of feet of lumber have been destroyed
in the last four days. A large force of
men has left Tombstone to fight the
flames back from the watershed of the
Huachuca Watershed Company, which
supplies the town of Tombstone with
water. Two companies of soldiers have
been sent to help fight the fire.
Fight With the Yaquis.
Nogales,Ariz., June 3. An out
break of Yaqui Indians has occurred.
A fight took place 30 miles from Her
mosillo, in which eight Yaquis were
killed and two Mexicans. The Yaquis
retreated in a southeasterly direction
tnd another fight is expected. The
disaffected Indians number about 400,
of whom 100 tre fighting men. These
Yaquis have hitherto been peaceful.
They are not hostile to Americans.
arbilTwas today offereiintne"T!o7!seT
The senate public lands committee
today favorably reported a bill provid
ing that in issuing permits for grazing
on forest reserves no preference shall
be given to the flocks or herds of one
btate over those of another, nor shall
authority be given to any person or
persons not in the government sen ice,
nor to any association or corporation
to pass or grant any permit to graze
sheep or other livestock on such re
serves. This latter provision is to cut
off dictation of local stock associations
heretofore in evidence throughout the
West.
MORE JOIN RANKS.
Number of Strikers in Anthracite Coal Fields
Increased.
Wilkebsarre, Pa., June 5. There
were no developments or incidents of
special mention in the anthracite coal
miners' strike today. The minework
ers tried hard to bring out additional
engineers, firemen and pump runners,
and the companies were equally earn
est in their efforts to hold the employes
that have been loyal to them. The
union succeeded in getting out quite a
number of men and one or two colleries
were ' compelled to shut down their
pumps because of a lack of men, but in
all other cases the 'operators were able
to fill vacancies by drawing on their re
serve forces of office and other'employes.
The mine owners declare . that thus far
they have employed very few nonunion
men, and have plenty of workers to
draw on.
The entire coal belt remains compar
atively quiet, although disturbances of
a minor nature are becoming more fre
quent. Two hundred men from Nure
burg marched into Oneida, where Coxe
Bros. & Co. have a big collery. There
was some promiscuous shooting, but no
one was injured. A car carrying spe
cial officers was sent from Drifton to
the scene of the disturbance, but when
the police reached there the crowd had
dispersed.
BAD TRAIN WRECK.
Southern Pacific Passenger Train Derailed
by Open Switch Two Killed.
Redding, Cal., June 5. The south
bound Oregon express, on the Southern
Pacific road, which left Redding at
10 :45 o'clock last night, was wrecked
about. 15 minutes later, near Clay
creek, four miles from this city.
The accident was caused by a half-
open switch, which had evidently been
left in that condition by some unknown
person. The train is what is known
as a double header, having two engines,
and was running at a good rate of
speed, as it was on a down grade.
Both engines were thrown into the
ditch and completely wrecked.
Engineer J. M. White and Fireman
Fred Laffel, of the forward engine, were
tnrown under the engine and crushed
to death, their bodies being fearfully
mangled. A force is working to recov
er their remains, which are still under
the engine with which they went down
to death.
The mail car was thrown across the
track. All the coaches were ditched.
A number of the passenger s were
more or less injured, but so far as can
be learned, none were killed.
Incendiary Fires at Pekin.
Pekin, June 5. Fires occurred yes
terday at the French barracks here and
today at the quarters of the Austrian
troops. Although the fires were large,
the resulting damages were, small.
lhe hres"are said, to nave been ot in
cendiary origin. When the buildings
burned there was much excitement and
rejoicing among the crowds of Chinese
who had congregated outside the lega
tion qaurter to jnjoy the sight of the
flames.
KING EDWARD'S UlKl hUAY.
icially Celebrated in London Military and
- Naval Parades.
London, May 31. Tho birthday of
ng Edward, who was born Novem-
9, 1841, was officially celebrated
sterday, it having . been decided, as
bounced in the official gazette, April
that his majesty's natal day. was

me stations May 30, as being the
lost suitable to make a military die
lay. On the other hand, foreign s ta
lons will celebrate it November 9, the
tnal anniversary of his birth.
Great interest in the celebration was
parently not diminished by the ex
ctations of greater series of. events
irrounding the coronation. The tc wns
roughout the kingdom were gaily
prorated and the shipping at the vari-
lis porta made the gayest display of
tinting. The day was observed at all
tqe home military and naval head-
barters with parades and salutes.
be chief celebration was the ceremony
trooping the colors, on the. Horse
uards parade here, and the presenta
on of colors to the new Irish guards.
CURED OF LEPROSY.
Case Is Successfully Treated at St Louis
by the Quarantine Officer.
St. Louis, May 31. Dong Gong, the
hinese leper, who has for four months
ast occupied an isolated house near
Quarantine, has apparently recovered
torn his malady and will be released
rithin two months unless the disease
eturns. A remarkable oil, the product
f an East Indian tree, has been the
pie treatment administered by Martin
. Woodruff, superintendent of Quar
ntine. Discoloration has disappeared
rom the patient's face and limbs, and
feeling has returned to the spots of
esh which were insensible to the
i icking of pins or the touch of hot
rons. Unly on one of the patient's
pgs and one wrist is the faintest red-
ess visible.
LABOR TROUBLE IN MANILA.
General Strike of All Trades is Threatened
Want Fifty Per Cent Increase.
'Manila, May 31. The labor troubles
which have been brewing for a month
are now on the eve of coming to a head.
Three of the largest American employ
ers of Filipino labor have been notified
that they must advance salaries 50 per
cent all around or face a strike. One
firm three years ago paid employes $3
per week, and is now paying them $30
weekly. The firm says a further ad
vance is impossible. It is the intention
of Isabelo de Los Reys, the organizer
of labor associations here, to secure an
increase of wages in all trades or force
a general strike. The merchants are
alarmed at the outlook. They say
Filipino labor costs more now, in pro
portion to the results, than American
labor. The wages are now from five
to 10 times higher than under the
Spanish regime.
Cecil Rhodes' Fortune.
New York, June 3. Cecil Rhodes'
executors have decided that the pro
bate of the will should be taken out in
South Africa, cables the London cor
respondent of the Tribune, and this will
be done after the return of Dr. Jame
son and Mr. Mitchell to the Cape.
Nothing definite is known as to the
extent of Mr. Rhodes fortune, but so
far aa has been ascertained, it will
amount to $25,000,000 or $30,000,000.
His educational scheme has been gone
into by the executors, but it will be
some time before arrangements can
be completed.
Coal Famine in the East
New York, May 30. Another ad
vance of 50 cents a ton was made in the
price of soft coal by the retail dealers
throughout the city today making the
price $5.60. An advance of $1.60 per
ton in anthracite coal was announced.
Many small towns in New Jersey are
beginning to feel the scarcity of anth
racite coal. Suffern village has been
in darkness for several nights, having
no electric light. Lamps are now used
in Ridgewood. At Spring Valley, N.
Y., the silk mill, the pipe factory and
the shirt works shut down yesterday.
Mitchell Says the Men Must Win.
Indianapolis, May 31. President
Mitchell, of the United Mineworkers,
left here tonight for Chicago. There is
still no change in the strike situation,
President Mitchell announced. The
call. for the proposed convention, which,
it is understood, the five district presi
dents of the miners have agreed to, has
not been issued, and Mr. Mitchell will
give no opinion as to when it will be
sent out. Mr. Mitchell expressed him
self vigorously as of the opinion that
the men must win, and said he was
prepared to fight it out to the bitter
end.

poses to bestow a decoration on John

I of having a military attache for the
legation at Havana assigned as soon as
j possible, and mentioned Captian Clark,

Portland, June 4. Reports received

the election of Chamberlain for gov
ernor by about 750 rotes. Five coun
ties are yet unreported, and it is esti
mated that they will break about even.
Returns from nearly all the counties are

the probability is against a change that
will overcome the present lead of Cham
berlain. Mr. Furnish, however, still
expresses confidence that the full re
turns will put him ahead.
