One Man Kiili'd mid Several u - I.. Cti-tnr- Oloiiulo Spnog-s- . Colo., Sept. 8. A pitched battle occured in this city yesterday between the two warring1 factious of the silver Republican party of this state, in which one man was killed and three wounded. The dead man is Charles S. Harris, an employ at Denver of the Gulf railroad. The wounded were spirited away by their friends, and their indentity has not been definitely established. It is said that a man named Rainier was shot in the cheek, but not seriously injured. Another man had his hand shot nearly of? and another got u flesh wound in the arm. The fight was waged for possession of the opera house, in which the silver Republican state convention was to meet today. An armed guard reprefaction, was in senting the Teller-RlooChairman Broad, possession. who had been deposed by National Chairman Tonne, sent an armed force to drive the guard out of the theatre. After a hot scrimmage, in which many shots were fired, the Tellurites fled in dismay. Harris and the men who were wounded are supposed to have been members of the attacking force. Chairman Blood, A. M. Stevenson and other leading silver Republicans openly charge Sheriff Boynton of this county and Internal Revenue Collector Frank Robert of Denver with leading the attack. Sheriff Boynton states that he, Mr. Rowbert and Chief of Police Gathright did not go to the opera house until the battle began, and then only to take possession of the place. Five men were arrested in the opea house, and one, it is claimed by the police, had a smoking Winchester in liis hands. The prisoners are: Walter Russell, .1. W. Lupton, J. J. Long, A. C. Smith, A. F. Monge, all of Cripple Creek. They are charged with the murder of Harris, and informations were filed in the district court against them. A guard of twenty men, tinder Boynton and Gathriglit, hold the opera house, and the Teller people are refused admission. In a published statement Chairman Blood intimated that I. N. Stevens, vice chairman of the National Silver d Ex-Stat- e party during the last presidential campaign, and others arranged with a gang of thugs to come from Denver and assist in capturing the theatre. Mr. Stevens brands this statement as absolutely false, and says he knows nothing whatever about the opera house affair. WEYLER ATTACKS SAGASTA, Declares Tlmt the Home Government was Responsible for, the Loss of Cuba. Madrid, Sept. 8. The chamber has followed the senate in discussing the late war behind closed doors. The Republicans and Conservatives vehemently protest against this action and avow they will make public the proceedings, despite the fact that the government imposes secrecy. In the senate General Weyler declared that the mistakes made in Cuba could not he blamed upon the army, but upon the politicians at the head of the government. The latter, he declared, were responsible for not sending supplies to the armies in Cuba and Porto Rieo, and. indeed, for completely abandoning them. The ministers of war and marine, he said, ought to have resigned. Had the army been properly equipped, it weuld not have failed. It would have been better for Admiral Cerveras squadron to remain at the Canaries, for no practical end was served by What sending the ships to Santiago. measures did the government take to protect the the squadron, General Weyler ask hotly. The responsibilities for the surrender of Santiago rested wholly upon the government, instead of General Toral.

NEEDLESS An Flngli'i Surgeon Cannot Understand W hjr eo Many American Soldier Die. New York. Sept. 7. Sir William MacCormiek, president of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, surgeon to the Prince of Wales, and one of the most distinguished members of h;s profession in Europe, who acted as Ambusurgeon in the lance association In the war, was asked his opinion concerning the causes of the high mortality of the United States troops. That the mortality is high is unfortunately patent, said he, especially when compared to the illness among our expeditions to tropieal countries. But our experience in that respect compares very favorably with that of all other countries. France suffered terrible mortality from illness in Madagascar nothing I fancy in battle. Italy, too, had serious losses from the same cause in Abyssinia. In our expedition to the west coast of Africa, our losses from illness have been trifling. Is the west coast of Africa more unhealthy than Cuba? Sir William was asked. Of course it is much more unThere is no healthy, was the reply. reason that I can see why with proper precautions mortality from illness among the United States troops in Cuba should have exceeded our mortality from such a cause on the west coast of Africa.

President McKinley and as many members of his cabinet as can do so will attend some portion of the peace jubilee, which begins at the Omaha exposition on October 10. The president so informed a delegation of Nebraskans who called at the White House and presented to him a handsomely engrossed invitation to attend. Only pressing public business will interfere with this programme, but at this time the president sees no reason why he should not go. The delegation consisted of Senators Allen and Thurston, General John C. Cowin, J. L. Webster and W. J. Broach. Invitations also will be extended to the members of the United States supreme court and the leading officials of the army and navy and the diplomatic corps. The presidential party probably will leave here October It is the present intention of the president to make his visit to the exposition an incident of a general tour of the west, which will extend, probable, as far as the Yellowstone park. The detailed arrangements for the trip have not yet been made. Trans-Mississip- pi TERRIBLE BRIDGE DISASTER. Two Span Give Am ay and Eighty Men are Hurled Into the Seething River Below. Rogansburg, N. Y., Sept. 7. Two spans of the international bridge of the New York & Ottawa railroad, now tinder construction across the St. Lawrence river, fell without warning, with eighty-twmen at work on the bridge, all being thrown into the river some sixty feet below. Over thirty-eigwere picked up and taken to Cornwall hospital and thirty are now missing. The bridge consists of three spans, of wli ich two were complete, and the third was nearly completed when the south pier gave way at its foundation, causing both spans to fall into sixty feet of water, taking its load of human freight with it. The construction of the bridge was in the hands of competent and reliable contractors, and was considered perfectly safe, but it seems that the swiftness of the current was underestimated. o ht WILHELMIN A ON THE THRONE. The Beautiful Young Queen Now Rules t he Netherlands Amsterdam. Sept. 7. Amidst the deafening shouts of her people, Queen Willielmina was enthroned queen of the Netherlands. The day was a most beautiful one, the sun bursting forth in all its glory from behind a cloud just as the young queen left the palace, which is considered as being a happy augury for the young sovereign. The ceremonies in the cathedral, when the queen mounted the throne and delivered her address, and recited the oath to uphold the constitution, was a most impressive one, while the royal procession to the cathedral was magnificent. During the procession the mother of the queen received an ovation and was greeted with endless cheers and cries of long live the queen mother. The ceremonies ended with a banquet in the palace, at which Queen Willielmina proposed a toast for the welfare of the Netherlands. OF THE CORTES.

FATES SAD ROMANCE THREE BROTHERS UNDER FERENT NAMES. DIF- Truth Stranger Thau Fiction Chance th Element Tlmt Unites the Fraternal Trio, Two of Its Member Having Lived Long in the Same City. O From the Chicago Daily News: The strange story of the separation Id childhood of the five sons of Patrick Dolan, at one time a blacksmith at I.ockport, N. Y., after the death ol their mother and the happy reunion ol three of, them all that are now living came to light with the visit to Chicago of Fred Dooley of Rochester, N, Y., who is now dividing his time between the homes of his long-lorelatives. Probably the most peculiar feature of the story is that all but two ol the brothers grew to manhood undei different names and for several years two lived within a few miles of each other iu Chicago and at the same time each was prosecuting a vigorous search for the other. The brothers now living and enjoying the reunion are: William Doolan, a hardware merchant living al 1231 Madison street. Thomas Dolan, assistant engineer in the fire department, connected with engine company No. 57. Fred Dooley, a barber in Rochester, N. Y. The two who died since the separation were: Danial Doo. ley, lately a baker at Rochester. Jamea Doolin, who was a sailor and claimed Buffalo as his home. The story is best told by Thomas Doolan, whose efforts in finding hl3 brothers have never waned since he first took up the search. He gives the following narrative: Years ago my father, Patrick Dolan, and my mother, whose maiden name , was Katherine Green, settled in having come to this country from County Louth, Ireland. Father was a blacksmith and I have been told was fairly prosperous. The family consisted of five boys. While we were all in tender years mother died and soon after father placed Daniel, Fred and myself in the Sisters Orphan home at Rochester and then disappeared. Since that time nothing has been heard oi him and it is likely that he Is dead, William was adopted by a man of the name of Casey, and an elderly woman, one Daughn, cared for James. Later, however, James was also placed in the Orphans home. 1 soon tired of life in the home and one night ran away and went to Wilson, N. Y., where for several years I made my home with an old farmer whose name I cannot recall. For years I never heard from my brothers and drifted about the country doing almost anything that was honest I came to and upright for a living. Chicago, was married, and now have three children. I often wondered if I should ever again see my relatives and had almost given up hope when you can Imagine my surprise when two men walked into the engine house and announced that (hey were my brothers. They were William and Fred, the latter having come from his home in Rochester, where, in an odd manner, he had learned of our whereabouts.
