A ehort distance further on he was hor-

immediately instituted a. search for the
other two, who lie found half a mile

no murks of violence or injury of any
kind ami they were scarcely cold.
The flexibility of the ' limbs
Indicating unit death had overtaken
them all within the hour Ihnt Mr. Gon-
nzles had been on the niesn. The only
phiuili le theory that could be formed as
to the cause of iheir death was that the
extreme fright caused by the terrible
concussion of dements which he him-
self had witnessed hud killmi Ihe three
men hi the samii lime, The expressions
of their features, which bore the itn-
pres-ion of flight and terror sustains
this theory and and it is believed by
neighboring ranchmen that these men
were perhaps the only human victims
of the great Southwestern earthquake.

Lieutenant Guiterez and Louis Klncou
was executed, liie trio fnced death
bravely. All refused at first to hnvetheir

Colonel Vnrrnti the men allowed them-
selves to be blindfolded. A,volley was
then IIred on tlie condemned men and
the exnuiiiiing surgeon a few minutes
Inter pronounced nil three dead. These
were I lie pet sons who ci'ealed the trou-
ble on the American side of the line
some weeks ago. They brought n squad
of soldiers on to tlie American side
and attempted to take a man
from loe.nl ollicers who wns not under

liie ttiieo condemned men were held In

were bruaiilit In re and a BiitHelent nuin-

Joint ,Vital Commission.
I.oxnox, May (I.—It bus transpired
that sir Henry Holland, secretary of
state for tlie colonics, announced in the
colonial conference here on the 27th ul-
timo. Htm the government hoped to ar-
raiige. with Kiaine for a joint, naval
commission for tlie government of the
new llvliredes. The commission, It was
stated, would have power to protect
settlers, traileis nntl missionnrles. and
would also Im empowered to land ma-
rines to punish natives'for committing
outrages, and io mnintuiti order. Tlie
murines, however, are to be withdrawn
when the special work for which they
were Inniled was accomplished. If the
scheme proposed was accepted by France
it was to be arranged; that French gar-
risons now occupying the chief harbors
in the new Hi hredesshould retire. Aus-
traliniis, itli w ithout exceptions, depre-
entid any policy which even seemed to
recognize French pretensions in tlie
new llehreth's. Marquis Salisbury, who
w a a present, supported the speech of Sir
Henry llolhind in jnstiflcniion of the
governments proposal. The premier's
argument Instead of inodlfvlng.Incensed
t lie delegates, and served but to Inten-
sify their wrntli. His remarks Implied
that tlie Australian demands hampered
Kngland iu her negotiations with
France and lie maintained ihut the colo-
nists .made a mistake lu not accepting
the compromise which the carl of Rose-
berry proposed nnil which the premier
said would have prevented tne exten
sioii of the evils complained, of by the
Australians ns nrislng from the sending
if liencli convicts to the South I'acilic,
[id the rejection of which had made it
lllcult for the English government to
approach France with any request that
she courted In r liberty of action as to
the USes to w Inch she should put her
own territory. "Surely." exclaimed
Mnrquis Salisbury, "the colonies do not
ilcslie to make renewed agitat ion for ca-
sus belli," Tlie premier's speech Increas-
ed tlie dissatisfaction of the delegates to
such nn extent Unit Sir Gratham Uerry
agent-gencrsi of Victoria, twitted the
prime minister with having made a
speech that "would have been excellent
coming from tlie mouth of the French
premier."
Earthquake Inres&iKuUou.
WaLui.Mi.iox, May 0.—The United
States geological survey litis 'nken lui
medlate.netion for the put pose of col-
lecting valuable itiioruintioti in regard
to the recent earthquake! in Arizona.
The plan is to send letters of inquiry
ivith printed questi .ns relative to the
exact tune liie shocks were felt, their
dura! tiiu and any other particulars which
will give an Idia of the intensity of liie
shocks, apparent direction in wiiieh lhe
wave traveled, accompanying 6ounds,
effect on springs, wells, counter moun-
tain, ranges, etc. tireat reliances had
been placed upon voluntary assistance
of correspondents of tu wspapers, etc.,
In the disturbed mci, w hicn assistance
resulted In the case of tlie Charleston
earthquake in accumulating a vast
amount of data. Naturally the exact
time is the most dtilii iiit to get, al-
though one of tlie most important and
best reports iniitle as n rule is by tele-
graph operators and railroad otiieiais,
whose time is corrected by daily tele-
graph. The director of the geological
survey announces it any one who will
be willing to send in tlie facts which he
thinks will be of Interest, especially the
exact time, and wilt send a postal card
with his address to the survey at Wash-
ington n pniitcd circular and franked
envelope will be at nin e sent him, his
report to be incorporated with other
data Collected. I lie disturbed area
seems to be. roughly speaking,-a circle
of a radius of lour bundled miles, fully
one quarter lift large'a* the Charleston
earthquake, and nearly u third'of the
area of the Riviera earthquake last Feb-
ruary.
