UNABLE TO GET AWAY. Captain-General Campos Can- not Escape From Bayamo. VIRTUALLY HELD A PRISONER. All Attempts to Rescue the Leader Have Been Made In Vain. SANTIAGO pe CUBA, July 23 (via Key West, Fla.), Aug. 1.—Excitement here about affairs in Bayamo does not diminish. The people areall anxious for news from CROSSING THE TETON RANGE IN TEN FEET OF SNOW—A CHARACTERISTIC WINTER SCENE IN THE BANNOCK COUNTRY. [From a photograph furnished by “The Call's” special correspondent.] “The nearer the troops approach Jack- sons Hole the more there is heard corrobo- rating the stories told of the hard charac- ter of the men who precipitated the pres- ent trouble. A number of reputable citi- zens and their families, who were passed | in the Teton Basin, said they had come over the mountains because of the threats made by some of the Jacksons Hole men to go out and attack the Indians as soon as the troops drew nearer, thereby putting the lives of ail white settlers in danger. people say the original trouble was d by prospectors, hunters and parties ble means of support, and that people took no part in the affair. standing the threats made lerk, R.

Captain Jim will ask all the Indians to go back to their reservations without fight- ing. If they do not go he will assist the soldiers in removing them, and will call upon his tribe to assist. Great hopes are entertained that Captain Jim may be able to influence the red men. He is a wonderfal orator, has an aimost magnificent presence, and in fact is looked upon as a second Red Jacket. Captain Jim served with General Crook in the Piute war, and bears the highest testi- monials from him. He is also well known to General Coppinger. When asked whether the Indians now in the Jacksons Hole country could fight all the soldiers on the way, Captain Jim said: “One Injurd man alie same three whitee man, when Injun man know country. ‘When Nez Perce war broke out, Injun man had 700 warriors and whitee man had 4000, Injun man scared whitee man alle time four months, and kill 150 whitee man and Injun man lose only four men.” When asked for his opinion of the out- come of the present trouble the wily old chief replied: “Injun Agent Teters he tell me no talkem now. Pretty soon, maybe so, heap lot of fight. Maybe so Injun man he heap killem nigger soldiers man, maybe so all of ’em. Injun man maybe so he go back home, me think so. Maybe so he fight now; me don’t know. Whitee man he killem five Injun man an’one papoose. Injun man heap mad now; bad heart. Me go see and maybe bring him home to reservation. He no come, maybe so big Father bring more soldier man.” Two days ago as a party of thirty Lemhi Indians were entering Jacksons Hole under the leadership of Chief Jim they were warned by a settler named Curtis to keep away from there. Chief Jim re- plied that his Indians did not receive rations enough to keep them from starv- ing and that they would as soon be killed by white men as to starve on the reserva- tion. The Indians went on into the Hole to hunt big game, This statement from Chief Jim is sup- ported by Indian Agent Teters of the Fort Hall Reservation, who says that his Ban- nock and Shoshone Indians must be given more rations or allowed the privilege of hunting in Wyoming, as the majority of them cannot live on the present allowance without hunting. Very few of these In- t the life of Agent Teters and his | troops all summer. In order to reach the Indians it would be necessary to go up Cash Creek Canyon, an almost inaccessible pass, in which 100 Indians could defend themselves against an army. The party of seventy-five settlers who started out last Monday to attack the In- dians went as far as this pass without find- ing them and came back. Bishop Enyon | of the Mormon settlement at the foot of Teton Pass greatly deprecates the action that has been taken by lawless settlers in Jacksons Hole. He says it has endangered the lives of all the legitimate settlers in all that coun- try. The Bishop believes that satisfaction must be given for the killing of the In- dians, or the life of no settler or any of his family will be 'safe for years to come. nock Indians for. forty years, and he says their retaliation will. fall upon the inno- Bishop Enyon has lived among the Ban- | there. ws, however, is very difficult to obtain, as the Government is cauntious, and besides that communication between Manzanillo and Bayamo is almost impos- sible at present, as the insurgents are very numerous around there and don't allow any one to pass. Of seven messengers that the Spaniards sent from the first-mentioned city to the 1atter, five were caught and hanged by the rebels. Of course it is known that something very seriousis going on. Marshal Martinez Campos is unable to leave Bayamo, and is, morally speaking, a prisoner of the in- | surgents. The Government has sent about | 10,000 soldiers to Bayamo, having taken | troops from here, Santa Cruz, Holguin, Gibara, Cienfuegos and Manzanillo, but it is said that the rebels don’t allow them to reach Bayamo. According to news received here the 3 A TROPHY FROM THE BANNOCK COUNTRY. [From a photograph furnished by “The Call’s” special correspondent.] cent as well as the guilty, so that revenge is secured bv killing white people, The troops marched into Marysvale, in Jacksons Hole, late to-night. The trip has been an enjoyable one as a whole, and en- livened by some good trout fishing. The infantry is hardly half way yet, and camped to-night on Canyon Creek. The infantrymen were given the only scare that either has had since the start. Just at dusk last night atthe campon Moody OCreek, two travelers reported a camp of fifteen Indiansonly ashort way Continued on Second Page, battle with Martinez Campos on his way to Bayamo was a terrible one, the Spaniards receiving a severe whipping, the insur- gents taking as prisoners a lieutenant- colonel, a commander, two captains and two lieutenants. The Spaniards entered Bayamo in such great haste that they left great numbers of wounded soldiers on the field. These were taken care of by Maceo and his people, Maceo ordering his men to kill chickens to make broth, he himself assist- ing in giving the broth. The insurgents have had three battles since then with the soldiers sent to Ba- yamo, but up to this hour no particulars have been learned here. On the night of the 20th inst. a body of Spanish troops on duty in Songo, one of the stations of the American railroad, seriously wounded a lieutenant and a soldier of their own, thinking they were enemies. The latest rumor says that Martinez Campos is slightly wounded in one leg and that the insurgents have set fire to a part of Bayamo. The samtary condition of this city grows worse every day, and the yellow fever has increased to such an extent that the Con- suls of Colombia and Venezuela have asked the Governor to inform them whether or not the disease can be con- sidered as epidemic, they desiring to com- municate to their Governments the true situation. The Governor consulted the Board of Health, which body answered affirmatively. The soldiers are dying in great numbers daily in the military hospital. The Span- ish troops on the island at present are 42 battalions and 15 additional companies of infantry, seven squadroms, one battalion of artillery, one battalion of military en- gineers, 26 companies of infantry, 13 squad- rons of the Civil Guard and one battalion of military police. Total number of soldiers, 52,326; one captain-general, seven generals of divisions, 12 brigadier-generals, 28 colonels, 82 lieutenant-colonels, 194 captains, 949 first lieutenants and 295 sec- ond lieutenants. HAVANA, Cusa, Aug. 1.—The text of the proclamation issued by General Mar- tinez Campos restricting the publication of war news excepting under Government approval, is as follows: There being repeated instances in which the press publishes news dispatches and corre- spondence which mislead the public and tends to favor the insurgents and to damage the national army, I avail myself of the authority conferred on me by the third article of the law of April 23, 1870, and I decree: First—It is absolutely prohibited to publish news referring to the campaign when it is not of official origin. Second—The staff office will handle the press news and facts, the publicity of which is not included in the above clause. Campos, Cienfuegos, July 29. FELL INTO HOT DISPUTE, Populists at the Ohio State Convention Were Tur- bulent. Chalrman Preyer Boldly Accused of Scheming to Sell Out the Party. COLUMBUS, Omio, Aug. 1.—The State Populist Convention fell into’a dispute at the very beginning this morning. Chair- man Hugo Preyer of Cleveland attempted to continue the central committee of last year for another year. This was fiercely opposed and brought out the statement from Preyer that a scheme was on to get control of the party and sell it out. After long discusiici® the matier was laid aside for decision lejer on. The con- yention then selected the usual committees and took a recess to 2:30 ». M. : After recess the delegates appeared in better humor and the old committee was retained, with a few necessary changes. At midnight the committee on resolu- tions agreed upon a platform. It indorses Coxey’s good roads and non-interest bear- ing bonds plank, favors the abolisbment of national banks, asks a law making all contracts providing for payments in gold illegal, favors per diem pensions, demands the unlimited coinage of silver at the legal ratio regardless of the policy of any other nation and the issuance at once of sufficient greenbacks to make the volume of currency equal to §50 per capita. A GEOGRAPHICAL CONGREMS. Great Exploration That Will Be Pursued in the North. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 1.—The interna- tional zeographical congress at its session to-day received a gift of several valuable works from Prince Roland Bonaparte. A resolution was presented affirming that the greatest geographical exploration yet to be undertaken was to be pursued in Arctic fields, in view of the great additions to geographical knowledge which must re- sult from such exploration. 1t was therefore recommended that as- sembled scientific societies throughout the world urge in whatever way seeming to them most_ effective that this work is undertaken before the close of the century. Professor Eliz Reclus read a paper on the construction of a terrestrial globe on the scale of 1:1,000,000, and Mr. Henry J. Bryant of Philadelphia read a paper on the Esquimaux of the extreme north. Severai delegates attended a ‘furden party at Kew this afternoon and to-morrow many of them will visit the warship San Francisco at Gravesend. ot 7 8 RUSSIA AND BULGARIA. The Czar Will Only Recognize a Prince as Ruler, LONDON, Exa., Aug. .—A semi-official statement issued in St. Petersburg disposes of the rumors that Russia would probably recognize Prince Ferdinand as ruler of Bulgaria. The statement is to the effect that Russia will never enter into relations with the existing illegal Bulgarian Gov- ernment which has been forced upon the principality by a usurper. Russia simply demands that a Prince shall be chosen in accordance with the provisions of the Ber- Ilin t:reaty, with the concurrence of the orte. g A4s to Trinidad Island. LONDON, Exg., Aug. L.—United States Embassador Bayard informed a United Press representative that he knew of the alleged seizure of the little Island of Trini- dad by Great Britain_only through the newu}lnger reports. He had no official knowledge of the incident whatever. He understood, however, that some cable company had found the island useful for the establishment of a station. He thought it was just as well that the island had been found to_be of some use and benefit. inasmuch as it was a barren spot which nobody has hitherto seemed to want. o een As to Salisbury’s Victory. DUBLIN, Ireraxp, Aug. 1.—The Irish Catholic, the organ of Timothy Healy, says: “The first result of Lord Salisbury’s | fihees 5 (b victory is the demolition of the compact limiting the extent to which Irish national rights should be urged. We rejoice at this, as Ireland is once more to seek the absolute repeal of the act of union.” ROBERT J. DETHAONED Crown of the King of the Turf Taken by Joe Patchen.

Y., Aug. 1 e JOE PATCHEN, PACER, NOW EKING OF THE TURF. Robert J, the king of the turf, is king no longer. The honor was wrested from him by that game black stallion Joe Patchen, in the most exciting speed contest ever seen on a grand circuit track. It has been said since last season that Joe Patchen was a great racer, but even his warmest ad- mirers did not believe that he was sveedy enough to defeat the phenomenal Robert J when driven by Ed Geers, the ‘“silent man.” In the auction pools Robert J sold for $25 and the field for $5. In the books the Hamlins’ world-beater wasbarred. He was supposed to have a cinch on the race, and most of the betting was on Joe Patchen for a place. After the first heat, $1 on the field would have brought $50 on RobertJ. The second heat was the beginning of the surprise that was to follow. The favorite and his rival came into the stretch neck and neck, after pacing the middle half in one minute. Jack Curry, who was driving Patchen, seemed to push the black whirlwind under the wire and he won by the shortest kind of a nose in 2:041{. The last two heats were a trifle easier for the black stallion, although he won by less than a length each time. It was the fastest four-heat race ever paced and the last heat in 2:051¢ was the fastest fourth heat ever paced. Patrick O’Connor rode a mile on a bicycle to beat 2:00.

Burchett states that he has reliable in- formation from parties, including the Sheriff of Logan County, that Willett was no other man than Bill Doolin, and he lived for four months east of King Fisher under the name of Willett without his identity being discovered. The Sheriff has sent for the parties who killed the man and the investigation will begin early to-morrow morning.

George Kirk, an Owner of the Line, Compelled to Yield Gracefully. FORCED TO OPEN THE BOX Officers and Citizens Joln the Pur= suit of the Cool, Nervy Bandit. MERCED, Cay,, Aug. 1.—The Coulter ville stage, coming this way, was held up and robbed by a lone highwayman about twelve miles northeast of this city a little after 2 o’clock this afternoon. George Kirk, one of the proprietors of the stage line, was driving at the time, and had one passenger aboard, who, on request, contributed what he had—a $10 piece. Young Minges of the town of Snelling came along about the time of the hold-up, and the robber commanded him to hitch his horse to a telephone pole and made him Loid the stage team. Mrz}(irk was compelled at the point of a pistol to use the sledge-hammer the robber had with him on the iron box, and the box was broken open in short order. The operation delayed the stage about an hour. Several packages of coin were taken, bug the amount is not known. The robber inquired about the Mariposa stage. Kirk told him the road it traveled was about three miles from there, but that it had already passed down. The highwayman had on a mask, wore a light-colored hat and used two pistols in stopping the stage. A posse from Sheriff Warfield’s office, Constable Mack and several officers, besides District Attorney Ostrander and the vic- tim of the hold-up, Mr. Kirk, are now scouring the foothills for the robber. The people of Merced are very much ex- cited over this unexpected act of outlawry. It has been known for some time that many worthless characters had been lurk- ing in the foothills between this cily and Snelling, but it was not thought that they would resort to such desperate practices. The people for miles around are up in arms, and every farmer who can spare time from his crops will be in the field hunting the bandit. The stage company and Wells, Fargo & Co.’s express have offered rewards. Sheriff Warfield will pay a reward for the arrest of the robber. The character of the country in the neighborhood of the scene of the robbery is very much in favor of the bandit, and if he is acquainted with the trails that lead through the small valleys and foothills it will be almost impossible for the pursuers to capture him. Nevertheless a spirited chase is being carried on. A message received from Hornitos to- night stated that Sheriff Warfield believed he had discovered a hot trail, and that three of his trusted men are in close pur- suit. The robber is described as a man of medium build. He was very cool in his operations, and it was evident that he was not a new hand at the business. FLED FROM ENSENADA. Strange Story Told by a Mining Man From Lower California. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Aung. 1.— George ‘Williams, a mining man from Lower Cali- fornia, came tearing across the boundry line this morning, arriving in the city after nightfall. He was worn out and his horse was almost dead. He told a story about being driven out of the country by M. Caballero, the Gov- ernment mining agent at Ensenada, on account of an article he had wntten in a San KFrancisco paper criticizing Caballero’s manner of dealing out mining laws. ‘Williams said he madea trip from Ene senada, 101 miles, 1 a day and a half, getting out of the saddle but once. Caballero neplied to Governor Sangines for Williams’ arrest for defamation of character, but the Governor refused to grant the application, when Caballero at- tempted to get him arrested on a bogus charge and thrown into jail. A friendly rurale in the Governor's office who gl:)t wind of the plot told Wil- liams, and he jumped on his horse and struck_for the United States. He said if he had been overtaken by an officer he would simpl¥l have been killed. His story, however, reveals some discrep- ancies, and the fact that he was rather in- timate with the daughter of a prominent Mexican in Guadalupe Valley may have aided in his flight. JEALOUSY CAUSED IT. Attempt of a Railvoad Maw's Wife to Commit Suicide. SPOKANE, Wasn., Aug. 1.—Mrs. C. E. Rodgers, wife of a well-known railroad man, made an attempt to commit suicide _this morning. She took a big dose of laudanum, and fearing that that would not be sufficient, turned on the gas. The odor of the gas attracted the atten- tion of the landlady of the house where she was sleeping. The door was forced open and physicians were called, who by most strenuous efforts were able to save her life. Jealousy is said to be the cause. P s Drowned Near Towles. TOWLES, CAL,, Aug. 1.—Yesterday the body of Daniel Murphy, an old miner who has been missing since January 1, was found in the hills three miles from this place. The Coroner of the county was notified of the discovery, and after the inquest the remains were shipped by friends of deceased to San Francisco. For Pacific Coast Telegrams see Pages 3 and 4.
