The bill seeks a decree declaring that certain_property held in New York by the defendants was purchased with the | funds intrusted to Captain Carter as a | dishursing officer, and by him, through | conspiracy with the contractors, fraudu- | lently converted to his own use.

SEATTLE, July 30.—There is general uneasiness among the shingle manufac- turers that may lead to a general shut- down of the twenty-one shingle mills in Washington.

They tried the Porto Ricans without ood results, as the natives of that island were not accustomed to such hard and continuous work as was required of them y their Hawalian employers. Powderly labor There are in the Southern tates of the United States thousands of colored men who would make ideal la- borers on the Hawalian plantations they were offered sufficient wages to in- duce them to leave their homes here and remove to the islands. The contract labor law does not stand in the way of their employment, but as far as is known in ‘Washington no effort has ever been made by the planters to secure the colored la- bor from the Southern States. it HINESE MURDERER ARRESTED IN NAPA Detective Ed Gibson Leaves to Bring Jue Lin Ong Back to the City.

SALT LAKE, July 30.—The Oregon Short Line and the San Pedro railroads have again become involved in a contro- versy over a right of way in Lincoln County, Nev. The land in question is known as the ‘‘Culverwell ranch” and both companies lay claim to the property by right of purchase. News has just reached Salt Lake that on Sunday the Short Line forces, having | completed the road to Callentes, or Clo- ver Valley Junction, as it was formerly known, decided to push their work south- ward without delay. They had proceeded but a short distance when they encoun- terad a strong barbed-wire barrier, which had been constructed on the edge of the Culverwell property by the San Pedro Company. Three or four watchmen of the latter company were on the ground and warned the Short Line people against crossing the line. The Short Line force paid no attention to the warning and pro- ceeded to demolish the barrier and con- tinued the building of their road toward the coast. Parley L. Williams, attorney for the Short Line in this city, when seen to-day, said his company was building a railroad; that it had its own survey and intended to carry the work through. C. O. Whittemore, attorney for the San Pedro road, did not care to discuss the matter, but intimated that he would haye the entire invading force, principals and all, arrested for trespass.

Sympathizers All Over the World Said to Have Con- tributed for Munitions. NEW YORK, July 30.—Dr. A. J. Res- tapo, agent of the Colombian insurgents, and Raoul Perez, who was General Uribe Uribe's private secretary, declare, the Times will say to-morrow, that the gen- eral is now in Colombia. They refused to tell just where he is, but sald that they expect cable advices from him to-mor- He will have the assistance, they say, of General Herrera and General Ma- tin and their armies. The latter has 3000 men in the interior of the Department of Tolima. Senor Perez explained that in Colombia there has always been a certain degree of antagonism befween the Freemasons and the clergy, and that this fact was taken advantage of by the insurgent party. Sympathizers all over the world, he aver- red. contributed $200,000 for munitions for General Uribe Uribe's operations. Dr. Restapo, Senor Perez further explained. while he was in Europe bought 15,000 Mauser rifles of the most modern pattern. He also bought 2000000 cartridges with the funds, Uribe Uribe being in need of ammunition. All this armament, Senor Perez says, was shipped months ago to Cclombia in sailing vessels, labeled as po- tatoes and asparagus. Still further, according ic Perez, if the eral party, of which General Urlbe be is the head, succeeds in overthrow- ing the Conservative party's Government the French Panama Canal Company will be notified that all of its concessions are void, that company having been notified some time ago if it bought concessions when the Government was willing to sell it would gain nothing if the Liberals won. The Colombian Conrsul General, Bri- gard, said to-day that he theught Uribe Uribe was either in Maracaibo or Cura- €O A? the Maritime Exchange to-day it was reported ths4 Herbert O. Jeffrys, who was sald te hold a high position in_ the Colombfan military service, is in New York and that he has been negotiating for large amounts of supplies and inspect- ing vessels with a view to their possible sale and their conversion into ships of war. He is rumored to have said that Uribe Uribe had been glanning opera- tions of an extensive kind, and that after Colonel Murillo left Savanilla on the steamer Allegheny, from which he was taken ashore as a prisoner, important in- formation was gained by the Colombian Government. It appears from an interview which Dr. Restapo gives to the Tribune that the rifles and cartridges bought for the Lib- eral forces were sent from Europe to his city and from here to South American and West Indian ports. From these ports they were conveyed in schooners to Colombian ports. OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Large Number of Patents Issued to Inventors of Labor-Saving Devices. WASHINGTON, D.

The Daily Mail this morning character- ized as “baseless and mean” Brodrick's assertion in the House of Commons yes- terday that the paper had a hablit of sur reptitiously buying secret War Office in- formation, adding that if Brodrick ven- tured to repeat outside of the House thaf the paper had stolen official documents it- would prosecute him for libel.

PARIS, July 20.—The police here have unearthed a gang of turf swindlers and card sharpers, whose actions were char- acterized by extraordinary audacity. The first discovery was made at the end of May, when a horse named Colimacon (the Snail) and known as a worthless plater won a race at Colmbes easily, with the betting 12 to 1 against the horse. A week later Colimacon engaged in a similar per- formance at Maisons-Lafitte. The Jockey Club investigated the run- | ning of Colimacon and fourd that a first class English racehorse had been su tuted for the original Colimacon by a Belgian named Herebout, who had p: viously been warned off the French race- courses. The police then took the matte; up and discovered that Herebout was (he head of a perfect organization of crooks | working in France and Belgium. 1 QUEEN DOWAGER N DIRE PERIL Unknown Men Seek the Life of Maria Pia of Portugal.

NEW YORK, July 3.—A Journal spe- cial from Madrid says: Captain Emilie Diaz Moreu, who commanded the Cristo- bal Colon during the battle of Santiago, paid a glowing tribute to-day to Admiral Schley and the Brookiyn. He said: “‘All the American officers, with no excep- tion, did their duty in the naval battle at Santiage. So did we. although it s cer- tain we were vanquished by superiority of force. It Is absurd amd unpatriotic to make an exception in the case of Admiral Schiey. It is absurd because the Brook- Iyn was in the thick of the fight throu out. She was at the mouth of the harbor when we tried to pass out and engaged us with a terrific fire, doing frightful dam- age to the end. We surrendered to_the Brooklyn forty-five miles west of tiago. “The Brooklyn was the first to encoun= ter us as we were coming out and the first to lead in pursuit, and she kept up the lead. with the Oregon vastly aiding. The i Brooklyn's conduct was brave; henes Schley’s was brave. Schley was on a post, where he was put by Sampson. After the battle commenced each co mander acted ackording to circumstane: and events show the Brooklyn bore a brave part. 1 the American ships the Brook- the most exposed to our fire, and to that of our batteries. Schley's own re- port was a model of plain, sailorlike and gentlemanly statement. Schley directed that our officers ain their personal ef- fects. A coward is never generous.
