2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER ‘13, 1895. e R e e esasivint United States Senator Nelson has just received a letter from Dulany Hunter, who wasa page when Mr. Nelson was in Congress, but who is now connected with the consular service. He was sent out last summer by the Department of State to establish consular posts in Asia Minor, made important by the Armenian troubles. He writes from Trebizond, and his letter, dated October 11,is full of interest. He says: “On the night of the 4th 4000 or 5000 armed Turks made a demonstration against the Armenians of this place, alleging that, a few days before, Armenians had fired upon a Turkish official who was passing through Trebizond on the way to Constan- tinople from the interior. Fortunately the authorities were able to restore order be- fore any shots were fired. “On the morning of the 8th suddenly a shot was fired, it is believed by an Ar- menian in desperation at hearing of the death of a relative in the riots at Constan- tinople. Then other shots were fired al- 1nost immediately, and in a flash the whole town was in a state of anarchy. The Ar- menians were entirely surrounded by ihe Turks and massacred—even the soldiers firing upon them. About 500 perished, and they were the best youth and brains of the community. “The women and children were spared and so were all the foreigners, though for hours we thought it was to be a general massacre. The killing commenced at about 11 o’clock, and between 3 and 4 o'clock the pillage and looting of peoperty began and lasted until sunset. About $1,000,000 worth of property was destroyed. The military is now in control, re-enforce- ments have arrived and order prevails, but there is still grave anxiety. The Ar- menians do not yet venture out, and the most serious rumors are in circulation, but as they will be disproved or the powers will have taken action before this reaches you I will not say anything about them.” el OCCUPIED BY ARMENIANS. The Turkish Garrison at Zeitoun Comi- pelled to Surrender. CONSTANTINOPLE, TurgEY, Nov. 12.— Advices from Zeitoun, Asia Minor, say that the Turkish garrison at that place has been compelled to surrender to the Ar- menians. The financial situation in Constantinople is still unsatisfactory, and the impression vprevails that the powers have agreed upon joint action in the matter. Americans here are somewhat anxious, owing to the absence for several days of news from the districts in which there are | American missions. United States Min- ister Terrill has wired to Darput asking | Missionary Darnham, who is stationed | there, as to the safety of his mission. | The Porte, in reply to the identical note | of Germany, a and Italy demanding | that the Porte’s scheme for reform in | Armenia be officially communicated to them, has informed the representatives of these Governments that their requests SOCIETY AT THE SHOW Great Array of Fashion at the New York Exhibition. BEAUTIES IN THE BOXES. Belles From Baltimore, Boston and Philadelphia Divided Honors With Grace. HORSES RECEIVED SOME NOTICE. Drill of the Mounted Park Police Followed by the Awarding of Prizes. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 12.—Brilliant as was the opening of the horse show at Madison-square Garden it was eclipsed by the second day. All the afternoon society veople were out in great numbers, and during the evening the boxes and arena seats were filled with the best known men and the handsomest women of this and adozen other cities. From Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston society belles were present and vied with one another in the contest of beauty and fashion that divided honors with the equine contest in the tanbark ring. During the day the horses received some attention, and horses from all parts of the United States and Canada declared that the exhibition is the best that has been seen on this side of the Atlantic. In the evening the promenade was packed with a surging mass of humanity, whose chief interest was in the boxes, and the horses were neglected. The programme both day and evening was an interesting one. Ponies and hackneys in the day and mounted park po- lice in the evening were the principal features. The police, in their business- like grav uniforms, maneuvered and evo- luted like crack cavalry regiments and furnishea plenty of entertainment for the spectators, Sergeant W. C. Egan was in command. Judging the pairs of high- steppers followed the park police, and test- ng green hunters over the jumps closed the evening performance. The prizes were awarded as follows: Class53—Horses and delivery-wagons: First will be complied with without delay. Later news from the disturbed sections | shows that the situation in A Minor has | become more serious than ever. Fresh disturbances are reported to have occurred | in Marash, Bitlis and Siva It re- ported that the Turkish garrison at Zitoun, | which surrendered to the Armenians, have | given up their arms and ammunition and | that the Armenians now occupy the Zitoun | barracks. HOBBED BY 0 WO, = St. Louis Society Much Excited | Over a Most Peculiar | Escapade. Dressed in Her Husband’s Clothes Mrs. Shelton Stood Up Mrs. Stewart. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 12.—The news of | a sensational attempt at robbery yesterday | in the fashionable West End of this city | is made public to-day, and as the parties | are quite prominent in society the affair is | creating a furor in social circles. M Wiiliam Gentry Shelton and Mrs. J Stewart, with their husbands and fami! occupy a handsome brick residence at 4060 West Belle place. Tuesday the ladies had agreed to go shopping together, and as a matter of | precaution, Mrs. Stewart placed a purse | containing nearly §600 in her bosom. Mrs. | Shelton left the room to dress for the | | | shopping tour. A few moments later Mrs. | Stewart was startled by the entrance of | what she supposed to be a young man | about 30 years of age whose features were concealed by a handkerchief and who | demanded her money or her life. The would-be robber held a handkerchief | satarated with chloroform to Mrs, Stew- | art’s face, but in the struggle which ensued the cap of the robber was knocked off, re- vealing an abundance of hair which conld only helong to a woman. The robber be- | coming alarmed at the screams of Mrs, | Stewart, beat a hasty retreat, and the latter | indviged in a fit of hysterics that brought | to the house nearly all the neighborsin the block. To them Mrs. Stewart related her experi- ence and made the startling statement that her assailant was none other than Mrs, Shelton and that she was dressed in her husband’s clothing. The relatives of the latter woman made strenuous efforts to suppress the story of the escapade and insist that Mrs. Shelton at times is so much under the influence of morphine and cocaine as to not be responsible for her actions, £ el MAY WANAGE THE ATCHISON. President Jeffery of the Denver and Rio Grande Being Boomed for an Im- portant Position. DENVER, Covo., Nov. 12.—It is now be- lieved in local railway circles that E.T. Jeffery, president of the Denver and Rio Grande, will be selected to manage the Atchison. The foreign bondholders of the Colorado road are also heavily interested in the Atchison, and they are so highly pleased with the record made by the Rio Grande during the presidency of Mr. Jef- fery that they strongly urge his election to the Atchison, believing that he can strengthen that company’s securities by his management of its affairs. Mr. Jeffery’s friends are making a strong effort to land him in that berth, and they arenow in New York with documentary evidences of various kinds to prove to the foreigners and others the executive ability of the Rio Grande president. So sanguine is the feeling here that Mr. Jeffery will be named that discussion has begun upon the uestion of his successor. Charles H. hlaacks, assistant general manager, is mentioned for the place. i Skl gy John B. Drake Dead. CHICAGO, Irn, Nov. 12—John B.

Destruction of the Residence of Ex-Sen- 3 ator Palmer. DETROIT, Micu., Nov. 12.—The resi- dence of ex-Senator Thomas W. Palmer, Ppresident of the World’s Fair Commission, was destroyed by fire early this morning, together with most of its contents, which consisted of valuable works of art and bric-a-brac collections from all over the world. The loss on the building is $30,000, with $15,000 insurance. No estimate of the loss on the contents can yetbe made. The fire was caused by the crossing of an elec- tric-light wire with that of the telephone connected with the house. g T DEFENDER’S CREW ANGRY. They Have Drawn Up a Protest to Be Sub- mitted to the New York Yacht Club. GREENS LANDING, Maisg, Nov. 12.— Down hege, where the whole of the crew who sa on the Defender during her races were picked, there is the greatest in- | dignation among the men. Captain F. P. Weed, who had the honor of selecting the crew, stated to-day that he had interviewed all those forming the crew, and they had under oath stated that there was no change made in the Defender after the official measurement. They tes- tify that the Defender was measured both times in the Erie Basin, as prescribdll in the rules governing the international races, and that everything was done openly and above board. The men feel the insult keenly, and as a result they have drawn up a denunciation, to which they have affixed their signa- tures, which will be forwarded to the New York Yacht Club with a request that 1t be sent to Lord Dunrave: GIGANTIC FLYWHEEL BURSTS. Two Houses Wrecked and Four Pegsons Injured. ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. A gigantic flywheel burst in the power-house of the Albany Railroad Company late this after- noon. Two houses, one of them two blocks from the power-house, were wrecked. Four persons who were injured were in a saloon opposite the power-house, one of the pieces of the wheel tearing ount the whele front of the saloon and another piece the whole upper portion of tne house. Those injured are: John Piehl, right leg fractured, bruised about body; Louis Thuis, injured about left breast and head badly cut; Charles Meyers, proprietor of the saloon, badly injured about legs and | bruised about the body; John Faust, in- jured about head and legs by falling tim- bers. No one in the power-house was hurt. The damage will aggregate $50,000. FREEDMEN'S AD SOCIETY. Failure of an Attempt to Change the Administrative Policy. No Action Taken on the Question of Confining the Work to the Negro Race. CHICAGO, IrL., Nev. 12.—An attempt on the part of the co: ittee on resolu- tions to change the admlnistrative policy of the Freedmen’s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, made at to- day’s meeting, was not successful. The committes reported in favor of abolishing the office of one of the corresponding sec- retaries and appointing instead a field su- perintendent, who should have actiye charge of the work in the South, with headquarters in the Central South. The report precipitated a long discussion, which ended by the proposition being laid on the table. A majority of the members argued that as during the last quadrennial | more vrogress had been shown than at | any other time, despite the financial panic, | a system under which such good work had | been done would not need to be improvea upon. Bishop J. N. Fitzgerald presided at the | morning session and Rev. J. B. Scott con- ducted the devotional services. Thecom- | mittee on appropriations report in favor of | granting the following appropriations: | Sam Houston College, Austin, Tex., $10,000; Philander Smith College, Little Rock, Ark., $5000; Bennett College, Greens- boro, N. C., $3000. Four thousand dollars was set aside as a contingent fund for the use of teachers in these colleges. The gen- eral appropriations amount to $43,650. | This sum covered all expenses incurred in running the affairs of the society. One thousand dollars was appropriated to Mur- phy College contingent on its raising the | money. The report of the appropriations committee was adopted. As usual at the yearly conferences of the Freedmen’s Aid Society the question of | isolating the work so as to include the ne- gro race only was discussed, but no action was taken on it. Bishop Merrill was of the opinion that the society was greatly hand- icapped, as being obliged to attend to in- stitutions for educating the poorer class of whites in the South. It was pointed out to him, however, that the General Conference | had four times refused to separate the | work 1nto two classes, and that to do so | would be equivalent to drawing the color | line, and on these representations he did | not press his point. ! The general committee adjourned until next year at the close of the morning. sl hen THREATENED BY A CRANK. Crazy Janitor Graham Had Decided to Kill George M. Pullman and J, B. Griffin. CHICAGO, IiL., Nov. 12.—Wilham B. Graham, one of the George M. Puliman employes in the Pullman building, was arrested because it was feared that the lives of Puilman and J. B. Griffin, one of Mr. Pullman’s superintendents, were in danger. Graham had made threats to shoot both Pullman and Griffin, and there was a de- cided sensation in the palatial office struc- ture at Michigan avenue and Adams street when the fact became known, and that Mr. Pullman’s private policeman, as well as city detectives, were searching high and low for Graham, who has been employed about the building as an assist- ant janitor and occupied a room on the sixth tloor of the building. About 5 o’clock he was found in his room, and after a chase through the building was secured. Graham at first denied having made the threats and talked in a rambling manner. Finally he declared that Pullman and Griffin were his deadly enemies and that he had been warned to get them out of the way. Oneof them was to have been removed by the 17th and the other by the 27th of this month. Graham was ex- amined by the City Physician ahd sent to the Detention Hospital for the Insane, where he will remain until his sanity is passed upon. T No Damages Awarded. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 12.—The jury in the case of Mrs. Helen M. Gouger vs. Hon. Elijah A. Morse, M.C., for $20,000 damages for alleged libelous statements concerning her, this afternoon rendered a verdict for the defendant. Cuban Insurgents Stood Off the Spanish Forces. HELD THE STRONGHOLD. Regular Troops Driven Back After a Fearful Slaugh- ter. SEVEN HUNDRED WAS THE LOSS. General Maceo Maintained His Posi- tion Through the Valor of His Followers. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 12.—A dispatch to a morning paper from Santiago de Cuba dated the 1st inst. states that a big battle was fought on October 29 a short distance from that city. General Maceo and the army of the east had been strongly re-enforced by a large part of the army of the west and interior departments and numbered in all over 4000. They had a large field battery and had fortified themselves strongly in the Corde Libre mountains. The position is one of the strongest and most stratgetic in the eastern part of Santiago de Cuba, and both sides had made every endeavor to hold the place. The rebels were driven from the position a month ago by the arrival of heavy re- enforcements to the Spanish garrison at Santiago de Cuba and during the last two weeks succeeded in capturing 1t by some desperate fighting in which a large num- ber of men were lost. On the 29th the regulars pumbered nearly 5000 men and made a combined at- tack from three sides. The heavy rain which had fallen in the valley prevented any heavy guns being brought up, so the Spanish foot regiments made the com- bined attack without the help of heavy artillerv. The atiack was made with great dash and spirit and for a time it seemed that the place must be recaptured. The weight of the insurgent artillery told in the end and the regulars were soon in full retreat to Santiago de Cuba. Their loss was over 700 men, while the insur- gents’ loss was only —_— TRIED BY COURT-MARTIAL. Severe Sentence Imposed on Men Who Carried Correspondence. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 2 (via Key West, Fla., Noy. 12).—The trial by court- martial of Manuel Paloma Varona and Rienero Avilez, accused of sympathy with the r&bels and of carrying correspondence to them, was held yesterday in the jail of this city. The accused were sentenced to fourteen vears’ hard labor and will be sent to Ceuta to serve their time. A number of political prisoners were brought to this city last night from Guan- tanamo and placed in Moro‘Castle. All are prominent men of Guantanamo. The Spanish column of General Garcia Navarro went on a scouting expedition through the country around the Daiquiri and Juargua iron mines and Lagran Piedra, but could not find a single rebel in all their march. On the morning of November 1 the guerrillas of Caney encountered a band of 150 rebels about a mile from that place. They engaged in a fight which lasted about forty minutes, the rebels having two killed and seven wounded, while the Span- iards had twelve killed and twenty-three wounded, among the latter a lieutenant. The rebels captured two mules laden with provisions. On October 30 the Spanish column of Commander Roseabel, 200 strong, arrived at Guantanamo after being out two days. They had an engagement with the rebel leaders Ruen and Gil, with 200 men, in Baiquiri and Vega Grande. According to Spanish reports the rebel | loss was two kiiled and five wounded. The Spanish captured some guns and ammuni- tion and two horses. They had two wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Juan Te- jeda and Commander Punel have been promoted to be colonel and lieutenant- colonel of the army respectively for their important services since the beginning of the war. Since the publication of the news here that General Pander had been ordered to come to Cuba many families have been preparing to leave Cuba, and a great num- ber of men are making arrangements to join the rebels in the field. WESTERN BALL MAGNKTES Stormy Meeting of the Associa- tion at Which Thirteen Cities Were Represented. The Formation of a Circuit for Games for the Coming Year. CHICAGO, Iin, Nov. 12.—Thirteen cities were represented at the meeting of the Western Ball Association at the Tre- mont House to-day. The meeting was a stormy one and little business was ac- complished during the morning meeting. The percentage plan was adopted in place of guarantee followed. last year, and the circuit for the coming year was formed with Lincoln, Neb., Dubuque, Iowa, and Denver, Colorado, out. e new circuit is: Rockford, Peoria and Quincy, Ill; Cedar I§nnids, Des Moines and Sioux City, Towa; St. Joseph, Mo., and Omaha, Neb. At the night session T. J. Hickey of St. Joseph, Mo., was chosen president, secre- tary and treasurer and George W. Brackett vice-president. A committee of three to arrange for next season’s schedule was ap- inted as follows: F. C. Lander, Rock- ord; 8. ¥. Frick, Des Moines; D. BE..Dug- dale, Peoria. The committee will report at the next meeting, which is to be held at Rockford at the call of the president. Carroll and Pedroes, two Chicago players who have been disciplined an§ were in- eligible, were restored to the list of eligi- ble Elayers. . There will be a short meeting before ad- journment to-morrow. e STANFORD DISAPPOINTED. Manager Faton Chagrined atthe Loss of a Practice Game. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Nov. 12.—Manager Eaton was somewhat cha- grined on receiving the announcement from the Olympic Club this morning that itcoula not play its eleven against the FOUGHT A BIG BATTLE Stanford boys this afternoon. It is evident that some misunderstanding prevented the practice game which Captain Cochran had planned for the men. The fact that Berkeley is to have three practice games with the Olympics this week will m‘o%mbly result in Stanford arranging a like series of practice games for the coming week. Captain Cochran was disgusteg because his men could not have the advantage of a game with the San Francisco men to-day, ut gave the players a hard practice game this evening to make up for it. Jackson Reynolds, Garton and Franken- henme{, all of whom have been off for some time on account of injuries, resumed work last night. The practice was much better than had been seen for several days previous. The Varsity had all it could do tohold down the second eleven, which was composed of several aggressive players. One of the finest plays of the year was a sixty-yard run of Spalding’s in a scattered field. " He was aided by good interference and his work reminded spec- tators of the fine runs made by Abe Lewis last vear. Fisher, '98, and Adams, '98, are piaying good ball for new men. has arrived at the university and will aid Camp in getting the team intg condition. He reports that several Reliance men have signified an intention of coming down to Stanford to aid in putting the team in shape. st ON THE EASTERN TRACKS.

GARDEN CITY BEATEN., ZLos Angeles’ Baseball Cracks Bat Out an Easy Victory. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Nov. 12.—About 500 people atterded the ball game at Ath- letic Park this afternoon, quite a number of ladies being among the spectators. It was a good crowd for a Tuesday. Mana- ger Flynn’s “‘Rabbits,” by good fielding and heavy batting, took the third game from the visitors. Mauck and Speer were the battery for Los Angeles and Rettger and Bolan for San Jose. The Angels made nineteen hits and two errors and San Jose eleven hits and no errors. The score was 13 to 4 in favor of Los Angeles. Decker and_Cantillion were on the sick list, and Pete Lohman played first base in fine style, bearing out his reputation for an all-round player. S Ziegler Broke a Record. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 12.—At the Blue Ribbon meet of the Fouuntain Ferry Cycle and Athletic Association held here this afternoon Otto Ziegler Jr. of San Jose, Cal., broke the world’s mile competition, making it in 1:53 2-5, the former record being 1:55.

Invalids Pouring Into Denver by the Thousand to Be Healed by the Ex-Cobbler., DENVER, Coro., Nov. 12.—The Schlatter craze is fast growing into a mob., To-day it was by the most cautious of handling that the great crowd was kept in subjection and forced to obey orders relating to positions in line. Tickets bearing numbers were issued and all had to form the long queue according to the numbers. So many applied that the line at dayhght extended four blocks. As fast as the people passed the healer others came 1into line at the rear. Schlatter dismissed at the rate of be- tween 400 to 500 an hour, having declined to-day for the first time to bless handker- chiefs. Trains are pouring in, additional invalids hoping to reach the man before he ends his public work on Friday night. His mail to-day numbered twenty-seven bundles, each containing from 100 to 150 letters. While he works people are con- ssantly appearing in the crowd to publicly relate the cetails of their cures. No as- tonishing cures are witnessed there, but tales of cures are abundant enough. The Methodist Bishops arriving to attend the great missionary meeting visited the scene to-day and viewed the crowd from car- riages. R B T REGULARS LEFT BEHIND. Governor Altgeld of Illinois Would Not Follow Them in Parade. ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 12.—Not an officer or private of the regular army marched in the procession which led the Chicago visi- tors to the exposition grounds. The pro- gramme was arranged for a military parade, which was to be led by the Fiith Regiment of Infantry, U.S.A. Colonel Koch, whose command is stationed here, was ready to lead his men, when the Gov- ernor of the State of Illinois putin his veto. John P. Altgeld said he would not ride in any parade in which Federal troops were a part of the procession, and inas- much as it was Chicago day, and the pres- ence of John P. Altgeld as Governor of Tllinois was necessary to the occasion, the Federal troops were left at home. S KILLED IN COLOMBIA. Compelled to Crowd. BOGOTA, Coromsis, Nov. 12.—Heavy firing early this morning in the barracks drew an immense crowd, which was or- dered to disperse. The crowd became so great that it was impossible to move quickly, and impatient officers ordered the troops to charge with bayonets. Meeting resistance and shots from the crowd, the troops began firing into the people and a regular battle ensued. The people re- treated, leaving twenty-three killed. The cause of the firing 1n the barracks was that a part of tlfe guard attempted to desert and resisted arrest. They were tried and fourteen shot.

ONE WAS A SUB-CHIEF. When the Tribe Is Informed of the Killing It Is Feared They Will Retaliate. PRECAUTICNARY STEPS TAKEN. Eight Police Sent to the Scene of the Crime and Troops Held in Readiness. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 12.—A tel- egram dated from Ignacio, Colo., yester- terday was received at the Indian office this morning from Agent Day telling of the killing of two Ute Indians by whites. The telegram says that Juan Tobias, of the Indian police, while out hunting, found the bodies of Raven Nough, a sub-chief of the ‘Winnimiche band of the Utes, and one of his men, who had been murdered by the whites. The bodies were partly covered by snow, and had evidently been dead some time. The murder was committed between the big bend of the Dolores River and Plateau Creek, off the reservation. They were Lunting, a pastime secured to them by the treaty. There are other In- dians in the same locality and a like fate may overtake them. Agent Day says the absent Indians have not yet been informed of the murder and expressed a fear that when they are blood will flow. The Indi- ans on the reservation, he says, are coun- seling in a menacing manner, and he in- forms the commissioner that he deems it advisable to hold a company of calvary ready to advance at once if necessary. Agent Day says he has wired the Sheriff of Montezuma County to be on his guard and to aid 1n investigating the affair. He has left to the bureau officials the matter of communicating with General Wheaton, commander of the Department of Colorado. Commissioner Browning took Agent Day’s telegram to Secretary Smith,and the latter will probably refer it to the War Depart- ment for its instruction. Commissioner Browningreceived another telegram from Agent Day dated November 12. Itisasfollows: “I have sent eight police, in charge of Stanley A. Day and Joe Smith, to the scene of the murders There is no danger from my Indians here, but they are excited and uneasy. More danger on account of the fear of Western Utes than any other agency. I have ordered 300 rounds of cartridges from Du- rango, more to allay the fear than of any thought of baving to use them. I will re- port the result of the investigation by wire. The police will reach the scene of the murder Wednesday night, as it is 100 miles distant by road and trail. The police reached Duraneo last night at 10:55.” CAN'T TRACE THE ROBBERS Detectives Unable to Locate the Men Who Raided the Express Office. Night Agent Krout Was Too Badly Scared to Remember Their Description. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Nov. 12.— Notwithstanding the utmost effort of the police, county and Wells-Fargo secret ser- vice officers, together with the county bloodhounds, up to a late hour to-night not even a shadow of a clew has been se- cured of the two robbers who so success- fully held up Night Express Agent Krout of the Wells-Fargo Exprefs Company last night at the Santa Fe depot and relieved him of $§20,000 in currency and only by pure accident missed securing another package containing $35,000 more.

Captain Dodge of the Wells-Fargo secret seryice with two detectives arrived here early this morning from Cripple Creek but report seemng no suspicious characters on the trail. There are fully a dozen men at work in various directions scouring the country, but up to the vresent time their endeavors have not Leen rewarded with anything tangible. The express company is searching for some one who was evidently acquainted with the fact that a large sum of money was to have been in transit last night, be- lieving that the hold-up was a pre- arranged plot. The county will offer no reward, the general opinion being that the express company was derelict in its duty in not providing sufficient protection when such large sums are being trans- ferred. Agent Krout has been with the company several years and has always borne an excellent reputation. DENVER, Cor., Nov. 12.—It is now be- lieved that the express robbers who so coolly secured $20,000 last night of the Welis-Fargo Company’s station agent at Colorado Springs are A.J. Gray, alias Sam Wells, and J. E. Stuart, alias Marr, two noted crooks who broke jail in Colorado Springs last month. R. S. Montgomery, another crook, was in jail at the time, and because he was not taken into the confi- dence of the jail-breakers he sought the express company in Denver and offered ta reveal the hiding-place of these men, whom he then stated were planning to rob the company. The officials here declined toa listen to him then, and now they are eagerly seeking for Montgomery, who has disappeared. s POLITICAL PRJSONERS SHOT. They Were Twenty-Seven Brazilians Who Favored the Monarchial Cause. RIO JANEIRO, Brazin, Nov. 12.—Pere sons arrived here to-day from Nictheroy announce the shooting there of twenty= seven political prisoners Sunday morning, among whom were two colonels. This caused great excitement in all circles. The executed are known to have been in sym= pathy with the monarchial cause, which is daily gaining ground. It is stated that many officers of the army and navy have sworn to join the movement, and many officers now operating in the south against the rebellion also favor it. It also stated that both England and Germany will favor the movement, and the plan is to place a German prince on the throne of Brazil, probably Prince Henry of Prussia. -—— The Czarina’s Condition.
