ustaclo Lojoda und Jesus Gucrerra , organ-
zed themselves into a band to try their luck
n the reported Eldorado.
The course of their Journey lay through
a desert for 130 miles , nnd on the third day
after leaving Santa Hosa their water supply
gave out nnd their team of horses was left
behind to Its fate. For six days the men
lived on the Juice of the maguy plant. On
the seventh day two of the Mexicans , driven
cra/.y by itlio heat and thirst , broke away
from their companions and soon became lost
"n the desert.
Other members of the party gradually
est their strength and were loft behind to
die. The only man that came out of the
terrible ordeal allvo was Mr. Knapp. who on
the tenth day reached the San Jose do Pled-
ras ranch , where ho received water and
kind treatment. Upon regaining his
strength ho was escorted to San Juan Sabi-
nas by a different route than the ono which
had proved fatal to his companions. Ho is
now resting at the ranch of Mr. Banada and
will soon take his departure for his old
homo in the United States.

CIVIL 81SUVIVE 1'OLIcr.
Iloir Cleveland Pronoics to Conduct the
President Administration.
New YOHK , May 21. The World this
morning , in its editorial page prints the fol
lowing In double leaded type , from its
Washington correspondent :
The president's civil service policy has
not changed since it was announced in the
World on Saturday , May 13. A malicious
report to the contrary was invented by n
newspaper openly .hostile to Mr. Cleveland
and really antagonistic to the democratic
party.
Mr. Cleveland has no intention of refusing
to make appointments for political reasons.
Ho will not make removals for political
reasons , unless offensive partisanship is
charged and proved. Ho will make and
countenance , however , a good many re
movals , and every vacancy thus made will
bo filled by a democrat.
Mr. Cleveland In Ids last administration
experienced great trouble from the partisan
ship of bureau and division chiefs. Men
whom ho had retained In ofllce did their ut
most to cmbaras's his administration. They
were willing to risk their places for the pur
pose of discrediting the democratic admin
istration. They were not civil service re
formers. They were spoilsmen , appointed
for partisan reasons , under the spoils sys
tem. Tlioy hoped for preferment and pro
motion by aiding the return of n republican
president.
Some of thcso mon wcro In office when
Mr , Cleveland returned to Washington. A
few of them havebeen dismissed and others

this kind in the service. It is based on

can rely in confidential positions.

VAU-AUAISO , Chili ( via Galvcston , Tex. ) ,
May 21. [ By Mexican Cable to the Now
York Herald Special to Tun Bnn. ] Pres
ident Montt has commuted the sentence of
Senor Brlcoro , ono of the persons connected
with the revolutionary plots against the
government In April , who had been sen
tenced to bo executed. Great pressure had
been brought to bear upon the president who
was overwhelmed with petitions for the
oxcrolso of executive clemency in behalf of
the condemned man.
The president called n special mooting of
the council of state early Saturday morning
and at 1 o'clock a. in. Brlccro was conducted
to an ordinary cell , having up to that hour
been confined in that portion of the prison
in which these sentenced to death are kept.
The council of state discussed all the peti
tions which had been lllcd and decided that
the man should not bo put to death. It Is
probable that Briccro's sentence wllP bo
changed to Imprisonment for life.
All over Chill a sentiment In opposition to
the execution of Briccro has been worked
uu. Not In years has so much interest In
the fate of a condemned man been shown in
this republic. Petitions for executive
clemency came from all parts of the country
and some were sent from other
South American republics. So great
was the Interest that President
Montt was hissed by a crowd of university
students because ho declined to interfere
with the execution of Bricero when they re
quested him to do so. There is no doubt
that the government was forced to change
the sentence by the display of public senti
ment.
President Montt has been overwhelmed
with thanKs for his action in saving the man
from execution.

END OF THE WHISKY TRUST

In lltd Himpc.
CHICAGO , III. , May 21. [ Special Telegram
to Tun Bnn. ] The Whisky trust appears to-
have received Its death blow Saturday
nlht by the withdrawal of Its chief ills-
tillers. Woolncr Bros. , E. S. Hasten , H. fi.
J. Swabachor and J. 11. Francis , served
written notice on John Beggs , first vlco
president of the Distilling and Cattle Feed
ing company , that they had withdrawn from
the "trust" and would take possession or
their respective distilleries.
The announcement of this action was mada
by Samuel Woolncr to a reporter at Wool *
ncr's homo In Peorla. Mr. Woollier said ha
fully realized that the withdrawal of tho-
distilleries owned by these men was a death
blow to the "Whisky trust , " and to use his.
his own language :
"It looks ns if this move would bust the
Distilling and Cattle Feeding company. Tha.
withdrawal ot the Grove and Union distil
leries , which I represent ns trustee for
Woollier Bros. ; the Manhattan , owned byr
E. S. E-iatonj the Pcorla , the property ot
John II. Francis , nnd the Northern , owned !
by the Schwabachcrs , means the dropping :
out of the live best paying houses in tlio
Distilling and Cattle Feeding company.
Hohlnil With Its Kent.
The reason wo withdraw is because the >
Distilling nnd Cattle Feeding company has
not paid us our rental under the leases for
the ground upon which their distilleries ,
stand. Now tlio capacity of the Grove and
Union distilleries is 7,501) ) bushels a day ; thoi
Pcorln runs il.OOO , the Manhattan il.ODO , and1
the Northern y.OOO , which makes ,
a total daily capacity of 10-- ,
500 bushels , which has gone out of the >
concern. The worst ot It , from the stand
point ot the Distilling and Cattle Feeding ;
company , Is that thcso are the best proper
ties In the company and are ths ones upoi *
which the trust mostly depends -Wo are
now in possession of our bouses and have
men there looking after the property. 1 was
at the Grove mid Union this morning and' '
have started men at the work of taking ,
stock.
The firms withdrawing from the Distilling-
and Cattle Feeding company will deliver nil
spirits und grain ou hand. That is , wo will
pivo up personal property , taking back the
naked plants , machinery , ete. The notice
wo served on Mr. Begg so stated and wo.
do not consider that wo have any right-
to the stock. Tno reason wo served ,
the notice ou Vlco President Hogg was because - ,
cause President Grcenhut was in Chicago ,
and wo did not know when he would return.
He and John S. Slovens were in Chicago ,
looking after Iho quo-warr.into suit com
menced by Attorney General Alaloney , nuf
understand Mr. Grcenhut , returned last , ' *
"night and I presume our notification
ha * < licen placed before him by ;
this time. The principle reason why weu
withdrew was because wo have not received7
the rentals for some tiuio past. That Is the ,
rOuson nil of us have drawn out. There Is a
clause in our lease with the trust that wo
can withdraw if the rentals are not paid for
sixtv days. In thcso'biises iho rentals hava
not been paid for many months , "
It- ) Domino Assured. ' ,
This is certainly the end of the trust for- *
it has been very hard up for some time , and
now that Its source of revenue is about shut ,
off , the outlook is a very dreary one. Mr.
Woolner also said there wcro several other
houses that , would soon withdraw. Of the ,
eighty houses that were in tno trust not ,
nero than ten have been miming of Into , ,
'ho houses that withdrew yesterday were ,
iinonir the strongest in the trust. Several' '
