U. j Bresse, a policeman, and mortally I wounded Nat Kawley, who died on ! the following day. Perhaps his greatest show of daring J was displayed on July 1 at South Isay, near Olympia, when he held up i six men and forced four, including C'apt. Clark, of a large gasoline launch, to embark with him on Puget Wound and pilot him up stream for ten hours. In 1597 Tracy murdered Valentine Hoge, a Colorado cattle man, and William Strong, a boy in the same «tate. A total reward of $5,600 was offered for his arrest, Governor Mc- Bride, of Washington, offering $2,500 for his capture, dead or alive.

An Account of n Battle Which Waa Fought on the lalanda, Washington, Aug. 7. —Copies of Ma nila newspapers received at the war department give interesting informa tion concerning doings in the islands, which have not been fully covered by ■cable. An account of the battle of Bayan, .Mindanao, states that after Col. Bald win had his line drawn completely around the fort, "the intrepid Ameri cans went up the hill, sweeping the bolomen like chaff before them. Through carnage unparalleled since the Alamo, the fort itself was at last reached and here our troops met an insuperable obstacle. The high walls were insurmountable and men dug their fingers into the earth and jumped upon each others shoulders in their efforts to get at the foe with in, who was pouring lead into them. Those inside the fort, at last re luctantly surrendered anil afterward made a break for liberty, in which about 40 more were killed. Of the 500 ■who defied American authority about 40 survived." Details also are given of the cap ture and murder on May 30 of five men of Troop M, Fifth cavalry, by a party of Ladrones. A native prisoner made a full confession and furnished a list of nine natives, who assisted in the murder. ICeTolntlonlata In Sore strait*.

Chicago, Aug'. B.—-The temper of tlio oonvention of Federated Cat India (Societies relative to the l'hil* ippine question was put to thy test at the closing session yester day. John 'J'. Keating, a national of ficer of the Hibernians, offered a sub stitute resolution for those previ ously brought before the meeting, Mr. Keating proposed that the dele gates dismiss the friar and the poor school questions with an expression of satisfaction with the manner in which the subject is being handled by the Vatican and administration. When motion on substitute was put, there was but one affirmative vote, and that one was Mr. Keating s. The convention then adopted the follow ing resolution on the subject: "We hereby express confidence that the Hon. Theodore Koosevelt, presi dent of the United States, will per form his duty under the constitution and laws and our firm belief that he will institute a rigid judicial inquiry Into any abuses by subordinate gov ernment officials in our territorial possessions and promptly rectify such abuses. We are especially confident that in his dealings with the serious problems arising in the l'hiiippitie Inlands, property and personal rights guaranteed by treaty, laws and con stitution will be faithfully safe guarded and protected. "Kesolved, That we extend to the friars in the Philippines our fullest sympathy in this, their hour of triiri; that we appreciate the value of tneir services in the cause of religion and humanity; that we pledge them our support as American citizens in up holding the hands of our government in its determination to see that tliey are treated with that common jus tice that belongs to all who enjoy the protection of the American ting. "J'esolved, That this federation congratulate the Vatican and the American government on the position attained in the negotiations, regard ing the questions which have arisen in the Philippines and we express our full confidence that these negotia tions will be continued until a just and amicable solution shall be ob tained." Other resolutions regretted the present circumstances surrounding the Indian schools and pledged active and moral support in remedying tin conditions. The establishment of Catholic high schools, wherever prac ticable, was advocated; sympathy was expressed for the Catholics in France in their present troubles and suitable recognition was taken of the deaths of Archibshops Feehan and Corrigan. A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. Thirteen Liven Are Known to lie l.imt by au ICxplnalon «l (.an In a Mine. l'ueblo. Col., Aug. 8. —A special to the Chieftain from Trinidad says: A disastrous explosion occurred at ti: o'clock last night, in No. :s mine at. Bowen, a small camp about ten miles north of this place. Thirteen lives are known to have been lost. The exact number of men working on the night shift and in the mine at the time of the explosion is unknown. The explosion occurred about 800 feet from the mouth of the slope and was caused by fire damp. immediately after the night shift had started in the sloping a start ling explosion occurred, entirely fill ing the mouth of the slope and shak ing buildings and breaking windows a mile distant. The mine is filled with gas and the rescuers are afraid of afterdamp and are unable to stay in the mine more than a short time. Mothers, wives and children of the dead and imprisoned miners are almost crazed with grief and the scene presented at the mouth of the mine is a most pathetic one. The powder house in the mine, usu ally confining 1,000 pounds of pow der, blew i■ |> and it is this which caused so great danger. The general belief is that the entire mine has been ruined and if not, it will take months to get it in working order again. The rescuing party is pushing forward with all posisble haste and before many hours the exact number of lives lost and the total amount of damage can lie determined. «, New York Vaelit Cluli'a t'rulne.

QUEER ORDINANCE. It Forbid* Two I'crftoim to Itldfi I pon llox of Hired Carriage in Havana. Havana, Aug. 7. —Mrs. Squiers, wife of the American minister, recently drove from her home in Mariano in a hired carriage with a footman on the box, to call upon the wife of the French minister at the Jlotel Ingle terre. When the carriage stopped at the hotel the footman went to an nounce the visitor. In the meanwhile first one policeman and then two more officers ordered the driver to drive away from the position occu pied in front of the hotel. The foot man, who is also an interpreter, re turned, and told the policemen that the occupant of the carriage was tho wife of the American minister. The policemen si rugged their shoulders at this information and insisted that tho carriage should drive away; they also ordered the footman to come down from the box and get inside the car riage. The chief of police has called upon the American minister and explained to liim that a municipal ordinance forbids two persons to ride upon the box of a hired carriage, and that car riages arc not allowed to stand in front of the sidewalk at the Hotel Ingleterre. The policemen in ques tion will be discharged for their eon duct. SYSTEM TIED UP. Kinploj'M ot the Falrliaveil and Went* villi* Itallroad Co. on a Strike.

Activity has been noteworthy in lum ber regions, and lish packing made new records. Aside from the fuel scarcity and some congestion of tratlic the iron and steel situation continues propi tious.
