THE SHAH KILLED
I The New Bill to Exclude Chinese Re.
quires Other Than Chinese
Evidence.
Only Two New Battle-Snips to be Built
Alaska Was Refused a Delegate
In Congress.
San Francisco. May 1. Another
supposed strnnirler is behind the bar
of the city t prison, and, unlike those
who have preceded hi-n, he is, in a
m asure, self-confessed, and was ao
caught in the very act of throttling a
woman of the half-world in a dark and
deserted alley off Montgomery street,
near Washington. It was at an early
hour this morning, when the crime
was committed, and at that time, the
electric lights being out, it was as
dark as pitch.
Officer F. Robi, who patrols Mont
gomery street, was walking along his
beat, when he was startled upon reach
ing Merchant alley to hear the gurg
ling sound of a strangling human be
ing. His mind being full of the recent
outrageous murders, he quickly ar
rived at the conclusion that another
helpless woman was being assassinated.
and rushed up the alley. Just as he
reached the center of the block he
heard a man's voice cry out:
'If you cry out I will strangle you to
death as I did the other notorious
women of your class,"
This spurred him on his search, and
finally he spied a large man with his
lingers clutched around the throat of a
woman who was prostrate on the pave
ment. The would be-assassin and the
officer saw each other at the same
time, and the former released his hold
on his victim and sprang as if to es
cape, but Robi was too quick for him,
and soon had him safely ironed.
CHINESE EXCLUSION LAWS.
Bill for Their Amendment Sent to the
House.
Washington, May 1. The secre
tary of the treasury today sent to the
house a draft of the bill amending the
Chinese exclusion law. It provides
that in cases affecting the rights of
Chinese to enter or remain in the
United States, or where persons ' of
Chinese descent claim the right to re
enter the United States as citizens.
there shall be required testimony other
than that of Chinese persons. In
cases where affidavits are taken before
notaries public or justices of the peace,
and are proven falfe, the persons mak-
inr-them -shall be- lidbleuto. perjury v,
In explanation of the necessity for
such a law, the secretary says that in
raanv instances the Chinese apply for
admission to the United States on the
ground that they were born in this
country and visited China with, their
parents at 'an early age, where they
remained for many years, and in every
instance the testimony of Chinese per
sons in support of their claims is pre
sented. It has been held by the courts
that such testimony, when uncontra;
dieted, is sufficient to establish the
claims. .
PROPOSED SEW BATTLE-SHIPS
Reduced by the Senate From Four to Two
Pacsea by Majority of Four.
Washington, May 1. Senator Sher
man securred the passage of a bill to
day appropriating $75,000 for the ex
penses of the Bbring sea commission
soon to meet at San Francisco to'deter
mine the amount of damages to be paid
for the seizure of the Canadian sealers
in Behring sea.
Butler presented a bill making the
Mexican silver dollar and Japanese
yen, each containing illt grains 01
pure silver, and the trade dollar full
legal tender dollars in the United
Slates. la supporting the bill Butler
declared that if the Federal govern
ment would not : make these silver
coins legal tender, then states bad the
power to so recognize them. If con
gress did not act, Butler said, he would
advise the state of North ' Carolina to
exercise its constitutional rights in
this direction and be hoped .the other
states would adopt the same course.
The naval appropriation bill was
then taken up, the question being on
the amendment of Gorman reducing
the number of battle-ships from four,
as reported, to two. ' Without further
speeches a yea and nay vote was taken,
resulting in the adoption of the Gor
man amendment, 31 to 27. '

THE PI NAB 1IEL KIO . BATTLE.
All Havana Discussing Antonio Maceo'
Late Victory.
New York. May 5. A Herald dis
patch from Havana, says:
All Havana is anxiously discussing
the battle in the mountains of Plnar
del Rio province. It is believed that
the insurgents who persistently at
tacked General Ynclan's troops far
back from Cacarajicara to the sea,
wera led by Maceo in person. The
stronghold stormed by Ynclan's forces
was not, properly speaking, a fort.
There is an old ranch on the top of the
stony hill at Caracajicara, whose sides
form a precipltious descent to the road
which winds through bold rocks and
are not wide enough for a column to
spread out to advantage. There-is
little timber or brush around there.
The insurgents fortified the road in
two places by barricades, one' above
the other, with the intention of pre
venting the Spanish troops from reach
ing the hills where the mnin rebel
camp is located. The officials say
that the insurgents. fought desperately
and that the Results given prove they
had every advantage of the situation.
They poured down shot from above
upon the troops, who were practically
shut in a cut in the ravine. It is sup
posed that rebels were sent from the
point of attack to notify Antonio i
Maceo who hurried forward to attack
Ynilin. Official reports say that he
was repeatedly repulsed.

Another Btampede for Alaska Two Hun
dred Miners Have Gone North-Muza-far-Ed-Dln
Duly Proclaimed
Shah.
LONDON. May 2. Copyright, 1S96,
by the Associated Press.) It is ru
mored in this city that the assassina
tion of the shah of Persia was brought
about by the machininations of his el
dest son, Massoud-Mirza, governor of
Ispahau. The latter was born in 1850,
while the new shah, second son of the
deceased monarch, was born in 1853
but the latter is an offspring of a wife
higher rank, and thus was chosen to
succeed his father in place, of Massoud,
his elder brother. The shah often re
buked Mirza for his unruliness, and in
1888 recalled him, and only allowed
him to return to Ispahan after disband-
ng some of the regiments and order
ing him to pay more than the usual
tribute. ' -
Massound- Mirza, who is also known
as the Zil-er-Sultan, or shadow of the
kingdom, resented this treatment, and
it was believed that he might make an
attempt to usurp the throne.
MasssoudMirza, who is enormously
rich, is unpopular on account of his
severity and intolerance, and on the
other band, Muza-far-ed-Din, the new
shah, is much loved by the people of
the province of Aaerboijan, where the
Persian army is chiefly recruited.
The discontent of the Babist sect.
upon which Massoud-Mirza, is be
lieved to have worked, is due to the
late shab did not allow them to estab
lish their religions, bis refusal to do so
being based on representations made
to his majestv that it would conflict
with the existing faith in Persia, and
split the people into religious factions.
The Babists have always been kept in
check, and little has been heard of
them for some years past.

Another Boatload of Prospectors
and
Dogs for the North.
Poet Townsend, May 3, The
steamer Mexico sailed for Alaska this
evening with 210 passengers and 784
tons of fright, 32 head of beef cattle
and about 40 dogs. The steerage pas
sengers complained loudly of .being
forced to occupy quarters .with the
cattle and dogs. The passengers are
nearly all old miners who have been
north before, and know just where
they are going. Many are going well
supplied, some taking sufficient provi
sions to last two years.. . '
Among the passengers were a young
Mellakahtla Indian, Edward Marsden,
who, after a four-year's college course
in Ohio, is now attending . Lane
