Cleveland, Oct. 2—Wall
Lee, a Chinese laundryman,
recently married a white wo-
man, and shortly afterward
applied for citizen papers, hav-
ing talfen out his first papers
four years ago. The question
was raised whether under
the act of Congress of 1832
he could become naturnjised#
and the case was continued.
Probate Judge Tilden today
heard argument and issued
citizen papers to Wall Lee who
exhibited celestial delight
when mado to understand
that be was "allee samee

this morning in an attack
upon the municipal hall by a
large mob of citizens,
.Judge Santos was defended
b.v the chief of police and his
whole torce. After aa hour's
tight the mob wss victorious,
and took possession of the
hall. During the tight Judge
Santos and bis chief of police
were killed, and over twenty-
five men on both sides badly
wounded. At last accounts
the mob still held possession
of the city.
Later and more reliable ac-
counts from Mexico say that
Judge Jose Santos and his
police officer were killed by
the notorious outlaw, "El Ca-
vóte," -'the wolf," who escap-
ed fromjpnson,in New Laredo,
four days ago., where he had
been confined on the charge
of complicity in the Mexican
National train robbery.. After
his escape he went direct to
the town of .Salinas and
gathered a force of some sixty
outlaws on the road. His
reason for killing the judge
was because he had caused
his arrest iu the train robbery
business.
Atter his raid on Salinas,
UE1 Cayote" left with an
augmented force of eighty
men, with the expressed
determination to paint things
red in several localities in
Mexico, which had been in-
strumental in his arrest aud
imprisonment.

Laredo, Oct. 2—Particulars
are received of a bloody af-

Mexico, which is situated on
the Mexican Rational railroad,
forty miles this side of Monr

It seems that Judge Jose
Santos, who lias been the chief

arbitrary acts, the chief, of

Savannah,*Ga., Oct. 2—
There was no opposition to the
state Democratic ticket. Iu
a fpw couti°s the Republicans
had candidates for senators
and representatives. The Re-
publicans, however, elected
only ono or two of their can-
didates. It is estimated that
the whole vote of the State,
including the Republican vote
for members of the legislature
is about 200,000. The legis-
lature is overwhelmingly De-
mocratic in both branches.
The United States scnatorehip
was not an issue, and temper-
ance cut no figure in the elec-
tion.

Paris, Oct. 2—At the meet-

day, Prime Minister Ferry
assured his colleagues that the
occupation of Kelung by Ad-
miral Courbet would finish
French operations in China.
He stated that he had reason
to believe that peace would
soon follow the event.

at Too Chow, two months
ago, when China was willing
to conciliate and satisfy
France.
Now she is determined up-
on war and the government
and people alike are prepared
for it, and Li Hung Chang;
asked Minister Young if tho
smallest state iu Europe
would submit to a liko op-
pression, to which the latter
replied "no." Li Hung
Chang said: "Then why
should tho greatest nation iu

Replying to a question from
Minister Young, Li Hung
Chang said the action of the
French had nullified the con*
vt-ntion, hut if Franco had
fulfilled her obligations China
had done likewise.
Minister Young applauded
the viceroy's patriotism, and
explained to him that he was
obliged to obey orders from
his government and present
the French demand.

the additional statement that

PUBLIC PROCLAMATION
MADH OF DIAZ'S ELEC-
TION AS PRESIDENT
OF THE REPUBLIC.
City of Mexico, Oct. 2—A
public proclamation was made
today of the election of l>iaz
to the presidency of the Rep-
ublic'for the ensuing four
years, beninniug December 1.
The proclamation was ic-
ceived with great rejoicings
by tin populace, who are ex-
pressing their good feeling by
firing of cannon and riuging
of bells.
Troops are parading the
principal streets.
All classes alike view the
early and peaceable retire-
ment of the present corrupt
administration as the national
salvation, and look forward
to a new era of prosperity
under the leadership of their
favorite and successful gen*
eral and statesman, Porfirio
Di z.
Chinese officers must know
their Snn-tso, an extraordina-
ry writer on tactics, who was
probably contemporary with
the author of the "Iliad." Sun-
tse understood war as did
Phillip of Macedón, who boast-
ed that he had taken more
towns by gold than by steel.
With him the essence of the
military art is corruption and
intrigue. "Labor unceasing
ly," lie sfl^rs, "to embarrass
your enemy. Vou can do so
in many ways, but here, is the
best. Neglect ao opportunity
of debauching the best moo
on his side; ouiit nothing—
neither offers, nor gifts, nor
caresses.
A pair of fly specs will not
assist weak eyes.
