PRESIDENT OF HAYTI IS MURDEREI
PUBLICLY SHOT AND BODY DRAGGED THROUGH STREET*
PORT AU PRINCE, July 28.—The expected
attack on the French legation to lynch President
Guillaume, took place this afternoon, and ainid
scenes of the wildest confusion the black president
of Hayti, was dragged out of the building and shot
to death in the square in front of the legation. The
French minister protested against the mob violence,
hut the crowd was blood crazed, and nothing could
deter them from carrying out their fiendish ends.
After being shot dead', Guillaume’s body was tied to
a horse, and dragged throughout the streets of tin
city, to the admiring plaudits of the populace. Tin
greatest disorder prevails here, and the foreign
population is praying for the speedy arrival of tin
two American cruisers that are steaming here at
full speed.
PORT ALT PRINCE, July 28.—When morning
broke, President Guillaume was still sheltered in
the French embassy. The authorities of the embassy
feel that the president is far from safe, but the
embassy has no guards. All the doors have been
heavily bolted and locked, and preparations are
being made to withstand' a siege, although the
building is not of strong construction. There is no
possibility of spiriting the deposed president away,
as the revolutionits are on guard around the build
ing, and a close watch has been kept all night. Tin
mob around the prisoners is gathering in number?
every hour, and is becoming more threatening in it?
attitude as the day passes.
The deposed officials yesterday executed 16C
political prisoners, including former president of the
republic, Orestes Zainor. The execution was under
the direction of General Oscar, who was governor
general of Port Au Prince under Guillaume. The
wholesale execution of the political prisoners was the
cause of the rebellion which yesterday resulted in a
new figure guiding the ship of state. The feeling
against Guillaume and his henchmen, is intense and
■ Violence may be expected before the day is over. The
'revolutionists after gaining control of the city,
captured General Oscar, who conducted the execu
I tions, and hanged him outside the Dominican lega
tion. The body is still there, and is the gruesome
object of fascination for the rapidly gathering
crowds. Two American cruisers are hurrying to
this city for the purpose of protecting all foreign
, residents.

LOS ANGELES. July 28.—Secre
tary of State Robert Lansing has
asked Wiley Jones. Attorney-General
for Arizona for a further reprieve of
the five Mexicans who are awaiting
the death penalty in that state. On
account of the acute nature of the re_
lations between the United States and
Mexico, Bryan asked for a reprieve
for the murderers, some time ago, and
his request was granted.
The reprieve given by Governor
Hunt on Bryan’s request expires next
Friday, and the State Department is
asking for the same thing at this time
on similar reasons. Jones replied to
Lansing practically refusing to com
ply with his request, saying, “The
United States has no right to inter
fere.” Unless a further reprieve is
granted the men will be hung at
Florence the day after tomorrow.

Samples of free-milling ore, impregnated with
gold were brought from Port Wells last night from
the Nugget claim, leased by the Cordova Mining &
Development Company. Dr. W. H. Chase, A. B.
Cooper, G. A. Harmon and N. Clasen made the trip
to the property in the launch Pansy and they are all
very enthusiastic over the prospects of opening up
a big paying mine. Mr. Harmon made a survey for
an aerial tram, which will either extend to the beach,
GOO feet, or to the bgse of the hill, 3,000 feet, when
it is decided where the mill will be located.
Wagner & Johnston are reported to have struck
five feet of ore in the tunnel they are driving, which
carries good values. Their property is on the beach,
about half a mile from Golden.
The Cordova Mining & Development Company
has four properties upon which it is doing work. The
Nugget claim, is logged and is above timber line,
at an elevation of 1,700 feet on the mountain, a mile
northeast of Golden. The veins were discovered in
1911. Two tunnels have been driven, one 152 feet ;
long and the other 65 feet.
The country rock of the ore bodies is graywaeke
and black slate. The two ore bodies are about 700
feet apart. The original discovery is reported to be
a 4 to 10 inch vein, traveable 70 feet, with a north
east strike and nearly vertical dip. The tunnel is
driven on the lower showing, a fissure 4 to 30 inches
wide with a length of about 200 feet. The fissure
tilling consists of sheared slate and graywaeke. The
quartz in the fissure varies from only a little in places
to a solid vein 20 inches wide. The gangue is quartz,
with some calcite and considerable chlorite. The
metallic ore minerals include gold, silver, galena,
and pyrrhotite. The ore is said to contain ehalcopy
rite and pyrite. Limonite occurs, as usual, us an
alteration product of the iron-bearing sulphides.
Golden Wonder No. ft. claim has been bonded by
this company and is above timber line on the moun
tain northeast of Golden, about 1 VL» miles from the
town. The developments consist of a deep 30-foot
open cut along the lead at an elevation of 1,440 feet j
uid some stripping. The country rock is chiefly
date with some massive gray wacko. The hods are
'oldod' and sheared. The fissure ranges in width
'nun 8 to 44 inches and is trafrable for over 250
'eet. The fissure filling consists of crushed slate, in
«>nie places with little or no quartz. In other places
piartz occurs as long and narrow stringers and
eases lying parallel to the walls of the fissure. At
the open cut the fissure is 44 inches wide and con
.aims a 3-foot quartz lens about KM) feet long. The
hanging wall side of this large quartz lens is smooth
ind shows horizontal slickensides, and there is an
inch of gouge on the hanging wall.
The nonmetalic ore minerals include (piartz and
small amounts of calcite and chlorite. The gold is
free. The sulphides are present as tiny specks in
the ore and' include dyrrhotite, pyrite, chaieopyrite,
arsenopyrite, and sphalerit. Limonite occurs as a
surface alteration product of the sulphides. Assays
ranging fro $30 to $KH) are reported on this ore.
The company own Mountain Claim, Nugget
Fraction, Home Rule and Nugget Claim No.
GERMANY LOST 500,000 MEN WARSAW
Special to The Times By Associated Press. .
LONDON, July 28.—Throughout the newspaper
articles on the situation in Poland which appeared'
today, there runs a tone of confidence1 in the ultimate
outcome, which has been conspicuously lacking
heretofore. Although the Germans now hold a great
line extending from the Gulf of Riga, on the Baltic
Sea, sweeping southwestward around Warsaw,
thence encircling the city, and stretching away to
the Galician border near Sokal they have yet con
siderable fighting to do before they can take the
Polish capital, and in the meantime are suffering
enormous losses in point of casualties. So far in the
Polish campaign it is estimated that the Teuton
armies have lost five hundred thousand men. Some
of the military movements place the Teuton losses
in tin* present movements at even a higher figure.
The Russian front has not yet been broken although
this stupendous price for victory has been paid in
advance. The Narew line on the river north of
Warsaw is still holding, and back of that they have
the even stronger defenses of the Bug, and the almost
impassable country between the Narew and the Bug.
In the north of Poland the Russians are continuing
their stubborn resistance, and have checked Hinden
berg’s advance. To the south the combined AUstro
(jerman forces are desperately striving to hurl back
the Slavs and seize the Lublin-Chehn railroad.
Although Mackensen lias been for days upon- the
threshold of success, the Russians with remarkable
tenacity, refuse to yield any ground, and the Teu
tons have so far been unable to achieve their goal.
West of Warsaw, there lias not been much activity
between the contending forces, and on the whole,
quiet prevails in that region.
Chicago Pays Respect to Eastland Victims

t Special to The Times By Associated Press.
,, CHICAGO, July 28.—Additional information
i. secured today about the number of passengers on
the fitted Eastland brings the number of victims of
f the catastrophe up to 1362. Of this number 827
0 bodies have been recovered from the Eastland and
all but five have been identified. Five hundred and
thirty-one persons, who were on the ship art* still
unaccounted for, and it is believed they are still
entombed in the wrecked hulk, or are stuck in the
r mud of the river bottom.
Six hundred victims of the accident were buried
today. ■ The whole city was in mourning out of
respect for the dead. Many down town business
closed for the day, and draped their edifices in
black. The ball games in both leagues were called
off. All flags throughout the city are at half mast.
The weather today was beastly, all tin* funerals
being held in v pouring rain, which however, did not
prevent great crowds of silent people from witness
ing mournful processions as they passed. There was
not near enough hearses in the city and suburbs to
accommodate all the dead', and all sorts of vehicles
■were impressed into service to carry the flower
draped caskets.
The coroner’s inquest into the cause of the
death of the victims is still proceeding. It was
brought out in court today that the apparatus by
which the water ballast was worked, was not in good
operating condition when the ship listed. The ongi
neers of the vessel, were unsuccessfully trying to
pump water into the compartments at the time the
Eastland went over.
