He was greeted with enthusiastic ac- | clamations and the band played the pon- { tifical march. A chorus, composed for | the occasion, was sung by a choir of sev- eral hundred pupils ‘from the clerical | schools in Rome, who marched past the | Pope, carrying banners.

He went first to Port Madison, ard from there took up the chase, accompan- fed by a small body of determined suards. After the battle Thursday night Tracy slept in a graveyard on the outskirts of Seattle, proceeded to the ranch of Fisher Friday morning, secured food and slept and rested in the woods all that day and night. Early Saturday morning he ap- peared at Meadow Point, on the water front three miles north of Seattle. There he compelled a Japanese fisherboy to row him to Madigon Point, twelve miles across and down the sound from Seattle. He dis- | missed’ the Japanese boy, declaring that the latter would be killed by Tracy’s pals if he ever told of the trip, CONTEMPLATES MURDER.

Tracy then read Friday evening's pa- pers, and after learning how Mrs. Van Horn had betrayed his presence in her house to ‘the butcher boy said he had been cdreless in not keeping every one in that house constantly under his cye. “My carelessness in this respect made it necessary to kill two officers,” he said, After this conversation he made them give him a large bundle of clothing and hats and six days’ supplies of food cooked for him, put on Farmer Johnson's suit of Sunday black and had the food, cloth- ing and blankets made into bundles, At 8 o'clock he bound and tightly gagged the Johnson family, made the hired man, Anderson, carry the bundles to Johnson’s rowhoat, put Anderson in the boat at the oars and started down the Sound. TUGBOAT IN PURSUIT. Mrs. Johnson released herself and the others two hours later and notified Dep- uty Sheriff McKay, who lives at Madi- son Point. McKay secured a boat and sent word to Seattle this morning. Sher- iff Cudihee was summoned from Bothell and at 10:30 o'clock, with several men, started down the Sound in an electric tugboat looking for the white skiff con- taining the daring desperado and the farmhand. Tracy has fifteen hours’ start, and the supposition is that he will row all night, probably kill Anderson, sink the boat and disappear into the wild forests of Northern Washington, where he can live many days on his supply of food.

AW TRACY ON PUGET SOUND AGUINALDO IS GIVEN LIBERTY, BUT FEARS HAND OF ASSASSIN CASTRO TO HEAD AN ARMY Venezuela’s Chief to Take Command in- Person. Leavesthe Capital To- Day to Engagethe Insurgents. WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, July 6.—News has reached here from an official source in Caracas that Presidegt Castro will leave the capital of Venezuela to- morrow for Valencia, in the State of Carabo, to take command of the 4500 Gov- ernment troops concentrated there. Those troops are to oppose the main army of the revolutionists, which, under the com- munds of Luciano Menoza and Solagnoo, is marching toward Valencia from Bar- quisimeto. The revolutionists are esti- mated to number more than 3000 men. Preparatory to departing from the cap- ital President Castro published a proc- lamation to the nation, in which he says he recognizes the fact that anarchy ex- ists in Venezuela and promises to re- establish peace shortly. During the absence of the President from Caracas General Vicente Gomez, First Vice President, will act in his stead. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO CHLOROFORM FAMILY Perpetrator of the Deed Is Believed . to Have Been an Escaped. Murderer. BUTTE, Mont., July 6.—A diabolical at- tempt) was made at an early hour this morning to chloroform a family of seven persons, with the object, it is presumed, of abducting Eva McCaffrey, a quarter- breed Indian girl. The perpetrator of the deed is sald to have been Peter Dempsey, the condemned murderer, who escaped from the County Jail about a year ago. Dempsey is known to have been enam- ored of the Indian girl prior to his arrest. The man made three attempts to enter the house. He was seen by Sergeant Dawson, who took a shot at him. D X g - C oo AMERICAN AND FILIPINO LEAD- ERS WHO HAVE JUST HAD THEIR FIRST MEETING. | - —— Filipino Leader De- sires Bodyguard of Soldiers. ANILA, July 6.—As a result of the proclamation of am- nesty on July 4, the guard of American soldiers has been withdrawn from the house in which Aguinaldo lived in Manila, and Lieutenant Johnson, Aguinaldo's custodian, took the Filipino to-day to see General Chaffee. It was the first meeting between the American | general and the leader of the Filipino reve olution. Lieutenant William E. MacKin- ley of the Ninth Cavalry acted as inter- preter. Aguinaldo was told that he was free to g0 anywhere he pleased, and General Chaffee asked him if he had any com- plaint to make of American discourtesy or harshness. Aguinaldo replied that he had no such complaint to make. He told General Chaffee that he was going to visit friends at his home in Cavite Viejo, in Cavite province, and inquired what protection the American authorities would afford him. He seemed to be afraid to venture out. General Chaffee replied that Aguinaldo would get the same pro- tection as any other citizen. The former Filipino leader then asked General Chaffee to prevent the courts re- quiring him to testify in civil suits. Gen- eral Chaffee replied that he had no au- thority to grant this request, and advised Aguinaldo to make a social call upon act- ing Civil Governor Wright. This Aguin- aldo said he would do, but he declared that he would go at night, as he was timid about appearing in the streets in daylight. The release of the former Filipino lead- er has renewed speculation as to possible vengeance upon him by friends of Luna and his other enemies. Luna was a Fili- pino leader whom Aguinaldo caused to be killed in 1899. ADMITS RHODE'S REPORT. The court-martial trying Captain James A. Ryan of the Fifteenth Cavalry on the charge that he was unnecessarily severe | with the natives of the province where he | was stationed has admitted, for purposes of cross-examination, the entire report of Judge Rhode, which forms the basis of the charge against the captain.

Judge Rhode has testified that he had no personal knowledge of the facts in the principal allegations, and has declined to give the names of his informants. He admitted and then denied the right of the' defense to require an answer to the ques- tion as to where he obtained his informa- tion.
