(rant amnesty to the mutineers, all

were finally" granted? "The mutineers
Immediately surrendered th? ves
sels.
The demands were granted be
cause the mutineers threatened to
bombard the city.
The chamber at an earlier session [
had adjourned without action.
The mutineers demanded an of-,
Octal promise of amnesty before they
would surrender and the news to- '
day that the chamber had refused
to act .upon the Immunity resolution
caused fear that the sailors would
tarn the kuiis of the snips loose up
on the city without waiting furth- ;
er.
Details of the fighting on ship- (
boird were learned todny. The of- \
fleers of the vessels went to their
death bravely fighting with drawn
swords and pistols.
Captain Neves was given a chance
to save himself by Joining the muti
neers but he refused. He was giv
ing an'order when he was shot and
killed.
Other officers who were standing
by rnshed forward with drawn
swords to avengo his death when a
volley from the sailors mowed them
down, several of them falling asross

ARMOUR SAYS
CLIMAX PASSEO
Kansas City. Nov. 24.?Whan C.
W. Armour predicted two weeks ago
that live stock and meat prices
would decline in sympathy with a
general tendency downward of
prices of other foods the public was
somswhat skeptical. Today the
bead of the Armour Interests In Kan
sas City pointed to declines in the
prices of cattle, hogs and sheep at
the stock yards snd to similar re
ductions In the wholesale prloes of
mests.
"It is evident that the climax of
high prices has been reached and
passed." Mr. Armour said.
"There are abundant crops every
where, and that Is helping to bring
down the plrces of meats. The great
shortage of bogs la this country U
being relieved to sods extent. That
of course forces pork prices down."
Today's wholesale prtee of pork,
beef and mutton are considerably
below the prices of a month ago
and a shade lower than the prices
of a year ago..
