JASPER, Ind., May 11.—In a desperate battle with a deputy BSherif George Reeves was shot to death to-night near Huntingburg while being taken from Jef- fersonville Reformatory to Jasper, where he and his brother John were to be placed on trial for a murder committed sixteen years ago. Sheriff Gastrop arrived in Huntingburg with the prisoners at §o’clock this evening. In company with Deputy Sheriffs George Gastrop and John Huther the prisoners were started in a carriage to Jasper. By the time the carriage reached a point three miles from Huntingburg the pris- oners had quietly worked the handcuffs | from their wrists and _as the carriage started to cross Paloga River bridge both | mer. sprang to their feet and leaped from { the carriage. | "John Reeves was quickly overtaken, [bound and again placed In'the carriage. Deputy Sheriff Huther followed in pur- suit of George Reeves. He fired twice | from a rifie at the fleeing prisoner with | out effect, the latter finally making an | attempt 6 climb a steep, embankment to | get into & dense wood. Here the deputy | overtook him and a hand-to-hand battle | ensued, Reeves using his handeuffs, which 'were still fastened to one wrist, |in an endeavor to dash out the Sheriff's | brains. Huther, feeling that Reeves was about | to_get the better of him, made a final | struggle and succeeded in throwing off | his adversary’s hold so that he could | reach his révolver In a .rear _pocket. Drawing the weapon he leveled it at ;}l}eevtes’ breast and shot him through the eart. The Reeves were to be tried in Jasper for the murder of two deputy Sheriffs, John E. Gardner and William Cox, on the | afternoon of June 1, 1885. The brothers, it is alleged, escaped after committing the crime and were not recaptured until sev- eral months ago, when they were arrested | in"ilinols. ~ Before being brought to In- diana they were incarcerated in Ken- tucky, charged with arson and bank rob- bery at Birds Eye. It is said that at this time they secured $31,000, which they hia before they were recaptured.

AERH ST Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SANGERVILLE, Me., May 11.—The stage which plles between this town and Abbot was held up by four robbers yes- terday In true Western style. The driver says about noon he met four men, but was wholly unsuspiclous that they meant mischief. One of the men came up to the driver and said he was a Deputy Sheriff | and began to talk to him. The first thnig the stage driver knew he was knocked from his seat with a club. Before he lost consciousness he realized that the man had seized his horse by the bit and he had been given a stinging blow on the head. He did not know anything for some time.' ‘When finally the mail driver came to himself again the men had fled and had taken about $6 in money and express packages. No letters were touched, the express evidently being the thing the men were after, The mall driver says one of the men was an Indian, and this one and perhu.g‘s another he thinks he could iden- tify. he Postoffice Department at Wash- ington has been notified. bt Fails to Secure His Liberty. 1L.OS ANGELES, May 11.—A. W. Clapp, who is wanted in Salt Lake for alleged forgery, was before Judge Smith “to-day on habeas corpus proceedings, but he failed to get his liberty, and was remand- ed to the custody of the Chief of Police. In her petition for a writ Miss Helen Clapp alleged that her brother was being restrained of his liberty without legal pro- eess in that no complaint had ever been filed against him. This point, however, was not well taken, inasmuch as the pris- oner is being held on a warrant for a fugi: tive from justice, for which the law spe. clally provides and which was in every ‘way regular, » J POLICE HOLD RUNAWAY B0Y Youngsters Who Came From New York Confess. AR San Jose Officers Communi- cate With Parents in the East. S Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, May 11.—The finding by Chief of Police Kidward of Creston de Forrest, son of Derwin de Forrest, assist- ant manager of the Hoffman House, in New York, clears a mystery that has for several weeks baffled Gotham's detec- tives. It was believed that young De Forrest was kidnaped on April 23, the date on which he disappeared. Now it is known that he only ran away from home to see the world. De Forrest {s but 12 years old, and with him is Harry Ray, another New York lad, two years his senior. The boys bought tickets to Willows, Cal., for $%0, and to passengers whose attention they attracted on the train they said they were being sent to their grandfather, a farmer named De Forrest. They said their mother had put them on the train, and besides tele- graphing to their grandfather to meet them at the depot at Willows had given them an envelope with his address upon it. This they claimed to have lost. ey sald their names were Charles and Fred Roberts, and that they had visited their grandfather here four years ago with their mother. As no one named De Forrest could be found at Willows the rallroad officials took them to Sacramento, and later brought them here, believing that Willows, a suburb of this city, was where their grandfather lived. Here they were turned out upon the tender mercies of the world. The boys applied to the police to find “Grandpa’” de Forest, but the author+ ities were unable to do so. As they were about to find shelter in a barn for the night Mrs. J. W. Trousdell of East San Jose took them into her home and she has cared for them for the last ten days. The boys stoutly adhered to their story that they had been sent to their grand- father. Yesterday Chief Kidward received a dis- pgtch from J. Cadogan, manager of the offman House, asking him to locate Creston de Forrest, who was believed to be in this vicinity. The singularity in name attracted attention, but last night joung De Forrest denied that he was ihe oy wanted. This morning he confessed to the police that he was Creston de For- rest. Ray will not say much about him- flye]fkfur(her than that he lives in New ork. De Forrest's father has been communi- cated with and the lad will be kept here until his parents are heard from. The boys say they merely took the trip to see the country and concocted the story the told so_that they would not be arrested. Young De Forrest left his bank book with $1300 to his credit at home. MRS. JULIA DUNN LOSES HER DIAMONDS Chinese Servant in a Sacramento Home Charged With the Theft of the Gems. SACRAMENTO, May 11.—Mrs. Newton Booth and Mrs. Julia Dunn of San Fran- cisco are visiting at the residence of Judge J. H. McKune, 1511 H street. Yesterday afternoon, while taking a bath in the bathroom, Mrs. Dunn placed a buckskin bag containing dlamond rings valued at $1600 on a shelf. After the bath Mrs. Dunn stepped across the hallway to her room for some linen. She was away only two or three minutes. When she staried to return she saw the Chinese servant, Ah Chung, coming out of the door of the bathroom. As soon as she re-entered the room: she discovered that her diamcnd rings were gone. An alarm was sounded at once and Ah Chung was questioned about the rings. He said that he did not know anything about them. Word was then sent to the police station and Detective Fitzgeraid was detailed upon the case. As soon as the officer made an investigation he was convinced that the Chinese servant had stolen the diamonds and placed him under arrest. At the time the rings disappeared the only persons in_ the house were Mrs. Dunn, Mrs. Booth, Mrs. McKune and the Chinese. A g STRUCK AND KILLED BY PRESIDENT’S TRAIN Unknown Man ;nmd Shockingly Mangled on the Track Near Morocojo Station. SALINAS, May 1L.—An unknown man, terribly mangled, was found at Morocojo station, nine miles from Salinas, this morning. The Coroner decided that the man had been dead seven or eight hours and it is belleved he was struck and killed by President McKinley’s special train, which passed there at 1:15 o’clock this morning. Nothing was found on the body which could aid in identification except two pawn ‘tickets and a memorandum book. One pawn ticket, issued by the Bell Loan Office of Seattle, was numbered 716 and called for a telescope. It was dated April 16. The other, from the O K Loan Office in Seattle, was dated April 15 and called for a watch. It was numbered BO51. s SKAGUAY POPULACE DRIVES OUT INDIANS Spread of Smallpox Epidemic Causes Alarm Along the Alaskan Coast.

The Pyramid Pile Cure is the safest and surest pile cure on the market, because it contains no mfiheral poisons nor opium ror cocaine, but can be used with abso- lute safety and certainty of cure. Many physicians are naw using the Pyramid Pile Cure in place of surgical Gperations, belng vainless, convenient to use, and the patient can attend to his daily occupation while the cure is being made, as it is used at night and no addi- tional treatment is necessary. Dr. Wharton says the Pyramid Pile Cure will prove a blessing to mankind, when it is remembered that heretofore a surgical operation was considered the only cure with all its danger to life, intense pain and an expense of from ten to one hundred dollars, to say nothing of the possible return of the trouble. The Pyra- mid Pile Cure is sold by druggists at 50 cents and $1.00 and does the work quick- ly and safely. A book on cause and cure of piles will be malled free by addressing Pyramid Company, Marshall, Mich. DESPERADOES bIVE BATTLE 10 OFFIGERS Sheriff of Shasta Over- takes Two HEscaped Prisoners. Fugitives Open Fire and One Is Accidentally Killed by His Comrade. Bt gl o Constable Walker of Modoc County Receives a Mortal Wound in the Encounter. PO S S ADIN, May 11.—Sheriff Behrens of Shasta County arrived here this morning | on the track of Dorland and Illingsworth, who escaped from the Shasta County Jail April 9. A Modoc County Constable, L. 8. Walker of Alturas, met Sheriff Beh- rens here and they located the fugitive three miles north of Adin. A _hand-to-hand combat ensued. Dur- land was killed, supposedly accldentally, by a bullet from his companion’s rifle, as he was between the Sheriff and Illings- worth, Dorland did not shoot, as the | Sherift had him covered, but Illingsworth | fired a score of times, three bullets pterc- | ing the Sheriff's clothing. Constable Walker was shot through the left hip, probably fatally. Illingsworth escaped. Dorland’s body was taken to Adin tc await a Coroner’s Inguest. alker, besides being Constable at Al- turas, is the operator of the California and Oregon Telegraph Company’s office at_that place. REDDING, May 11.—Under Sheriff Rich- on received the following telegram at 4:45 o’clock: Tracked fugitives sixty-five miles after hand-to-hand fight. Constable of Alturas | probably fatally shot. Several _bullets plerced my clothing. Came out O K. Dor- and killed. Start for Redding to-morrow. “C. H. BEHRENS.” Sherift Behrens left here on Wednesday | for Modoc County after B. H. Dorland | and W. C. Illingsworth, escaped prisoners from the Shasta County Jail, who were reported to be’ making toward Idaho. From the telegram, which came by way | of Reno, it would seem there were two | fatalities resulting from a desperate cn- | gagement. \ Dorland and Illingsworth escaped from | the jail here by gaining access to the in- sane ward, pulling out the staple of the lock of a door leading into the jail yard, | scaling the high wall and gaining the | hills west of town. Sheriff Behrens be- | lieves friends must have shielded the men for a while afterward. Absolutely noth- | ing could be heard from them for a couple | of weeks. Then they sent into Delta, thirty miles north of Redding, for car- tridges. They were heavily armed. ‘Where they procured the weapons, unle: from those who shielded them, is a mys- tery. Behrens was notified and got on their trail west of Delta, but lost it when they turned upon the railroad track. It | is now believed the fugitives followed the | track, probably at night, to Sisson and | then 'started east for Idaho. Behrens | heard of their suspected presence and | left here on Thursday morning for Al- | turas. The encounter of this morning was | the resulf. | THEY WILL GATHER | AT HANFORD NEXT YEAR | Veterans in Session at Pacifific Grove Select the Place for Next Encampment. PACIFIC GROVE, May 11.—The closing sessions of the thirty-fourth annual en- campment of the Dcpartment of Cali- fornia and Nevada, G. A. R., was held | here to-day, and the veterans will leave | to-morrow, feeling that tne best encamp- ment in the history of the department has been held at Pacific Grove. From start to finish the affair has been one long suc- | cess, and the entertained and entertainers | are equally well pleased. | Very little business beyond the installa- tion of the newly elected officers was ac- complished during the day, the time be- ing occupled by the President's visit and by preparations for this great event. Department Commander Mott and Com- mander-elect Stone went to Del Monte to visit the Presfdent this morning on behalf of the veterans and arrange the pro- gramme which was so successfully carried out this afternoon. The only other busi- ness transacted before adjournment was the choice of Hanford as the place where '];xh?GHEXt department encampment will be eld. To-night the annual campfire and ban- quet was had in Monterey, and this func- tion concluded the programme of the en- campment. —_—— FLAMES SHOOT UP FROM AN OIL WELL Pocket of Gas Encountered by a Drill Is Ignited and Derrick Destroyed. BAKERSFIELD, May 11.—The Pitts- burg Company’s well in the Sunset dis- trict took fire to-day. The machinery and rig were destroyed and in all ur%babllity the well will have to be abandoned. The well was being sunk by contract taken by Jewett & Blodget. The con- | tractors have had hard luck and are losers on the venture. Considerable oil has been struck and the well was looked upon as an ultimate producer, but from various causes the work has been delayed. Opera- tions were suspended a month ago, but a few days ago they were resumed. A pocket of gas was struck, walch ignited and set fire to the works. It is probable another contract will be entered mto whereby a new hole will be sunk on the property. o0 HANGS FROM PRECIPICE TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED Foolhardy Young Man Loses His Hold and Falls Into a Rocky Chasm.

On the Other Hand, Ameri- cans Have Observed the Rules of Warfara. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. i CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N.| W., WASHINGTON, May IL—Atrocities | committed by Filipinos upon American soldiers is the subject of a special report recelved by the War Department from Manila. The report says: Instances of atrocities committed by natives upon United tSates soldiers who have become separated from their regiments or have fallen irto their hands are tod numerous to mention. | In the T'wenty-sixth Infantry, Privates Dugan. Hay and Tracy, of Company B, were murdered by the town authorities at Calinog. FPrivate | Nolan, ‘at Dingle, was tied up by the hands while in a ‘stupor, and insurgents were sent for and cut his throat with a sangut. The body of Corporal Denehy, of Company D, was dug up. burnt and mutliated at Dumangas. Private O’Hearn, captured by apparently friendly peo- | le near Leon, was tied to a tree urnt for four hours with a slow fire, and _finaily slashed up. Lieuten- ant Max Wagner was assassinated _on the road to Potoan on October 1 by insurgents disguised in American uniform. In November at Jaro a large flag of truce was used to entice officers into ambush, and by order of the native commander all persons aisplayed white flags in the country where our troops operated, not for protection, but to give warning to the insur- gents to hide their guns and disguise them- selves. Detalls can be furnished of butcheries | at Leganes and Mina, and of a burial alive | near Barofac Nuevo. As against these atroci- tles, the conduct of the American troops in the | Phiiippines has been =0 humane as to be a | continued course of surprise to all forelgners | and to the natives themselves. Americans Follow Rules of War. The War Department supplements the report with these comments: There may have been instances in which na- | tive troops operating on the side of the United | States have practiced tward the natives of other tribes the methods of warfare followed by the barbarous or semi-civilized people, but | £0 far as the departmert is advised, and it has made most careful and painstaking investiga- tions into all charges of this character, the laws and customs of war, as practiced by all | civilized nations, have In no instance been de- | parted from by officers and soldiers of the | United States in the Philippine Islands. The special report from the Philippines was the result of an allegation made by | Sergeant Charles S. Riley of Company M, Twenty-sixth Infantry, in_a private let- ter written to a friend in Northhampton, Sergeant Riley described the “water cure treatment” administered to natives to compel them to disclose where they had secreted arms and ammunition. | The major commanding the battalion, | the captain of Company and Sergeant\ Riley himself assert positively that no | officers or soldlers of the regiment took | part in_any water cure proceedings or | other inhuman treatment of natives. This has been the invariable result of investi- as to the foundation of sensational stories sent home by soldiers in letters to their relatives. On a Tour of Inspection. 1 Secretary Root has approved a plan by which Brigadier General Breckinridge inspector general of the United States army, will proceed to the Philippines for an extended tour of inspection. The start will be made about June 20, on the trans- ort Ingalls, leaving New York by the Blez canal. There are a large number of military posts scattered through the Philippines, and it is understood to be the idea to get a thorough knowledge of their condition and needs, not only for the President, but with reference to the tran- sition stage from military to ecivil rule, which is now being rthld% brought about. It is expected at the War Departmeni that the homeward vement of the vol- unteer regiments in ‘he Philippines will begin to-day or tio-morrow by the de- parture from Manila, of the transports Hancock, Pennsylvania and Buford, car- r9ing the Thirty-first, Fortleth and Forty- | first Infantry. The rémaining seven regi- ments will be forwarded by other trans- ports between now and the 20th inst., and the officlals of the quartermaster's de- | partment predict tha; the last of the vol- | unteer army will be in this country ready | for muster out June 10, ten days betorei | that army expires by Iimitation. Pursuit of Filipine Bands. MANILA, May 11.—The trial of Captain Frederick J. Barrows, of the Thirtieth Volunteer Infantry, quartermaster of the department of Southern Luzon, on charges connected with the commissary scandals, was finished to-day. The verdict Pas not been announced. The department of Southern Luzon is | sending various expeditions in pursuit of | the remaining Filiplno bands. It is ex- | pected that the island of Mindoro will be occupied in the neer future. Many fugi- tive Tagalogs and a quantity of arms are reported to be concealed in Mindoro. The | TUnited States Philippine commission is overrun with applications for civil posi- tions, and the officers of the new prov- inces are submitting many questions to | the commission. The routine business of | the Commissioners is heavy. The provin- clal officers have encountered no serious difficulties. A party of insurgents partly burned the ‘bridge néar Lucban, Tayabas Province, on Thursday night, but were driven back without loss on either side. Aguinaldo’s life is quiet. He seldom | goes out and is always accompanied by a | guard, as there is some apprehension of his assassination by friends of General Luna or personal enemies. ‘There will be another car.
