Was Carry In a Ur( Amount of Money When Captured Shafter U Greatly Annoyed Over Sampson's Keport Oos Not Care to Kciorrect the Controversy Other News of Interest. Kansas City. Dec. 1. It was ru mored at the stock yards this afternoon that Grant C. Gillett, the absconding cattle kins, had been captured in Mexico and $100,000 in cash recovered. The report is generally discredited. Charles A. Shaeffer, president 01 the F. George Holmes Commission a. 1 . coin p iny, swore out a warrant neru to day charging Gillett with having ob tained $19,500 by false pretenses, xoe warrant was placed in the bands oi an oflicer and the latter left the city to night. M. A. Fike, attorney for the Holmes company, tonight made this statement: 'Gillett is under arrert in Mexico. Anomcerhas gone for him and we will get him back, we hope, at a very early date." Id other quarters it is stated aimo&i ... . i Ml. I f in a positively mat uuieu ia ku " Mexico, but that he is in custody on American soil, that he has a large sum of money in his possession and that his captors are negotiating with his creditors here to exact a stated percentage of the money as their price for turning Gillett and the funds over to his creditors. It was stated quite positively her tonight that Gillett was under arrost at Chihauhau, Mex., but the state ment could not be confirmed and at a lato hour the Journal received a dis patch from Jefe Politico, published at Chihauhau, stating that so far as known Gillett was not in custody there. Ueneral Shatter Is Annoyed. New York, Dec. 1. General W. R, Shafter was today shown a copy oi Admiral Sampson's report on the op erations of the United States fleet at Santiago after the destruction of the Spanish fleet, in which the admiral denounced the suggestions which he attributed to General Shafter, that the navy was unwilliDg to assist the A.Antf-k t Via army in lorcing an euirnum u ." harbor. General Shafter did not conceal the fact that Admiral Sampson's criticisms annoyed him greatly. "This controversy has been iougni over before." he said. "The records sneak for themselves. My letters and disnatches to Admiral Sampson as toll the storv. I HUU - have nothing to add to them. The treneral went over the news nanor svnoosis of the Admiral's report i i and pointed out that the correspond ence given therein showed that he hH pannaatad Admiral Sampson to send a representative to tne cere monies of the surrender of Santiago .nri that. Via did not siffn the terms of surrender himself. "As I did not sign them," he said, I certainly would not consent for Ad miral Sampson to do so," INVESTIGATORS RETURN HOME. Their Experience With Witnesses Is of an Unsatisfactory Nature. Washington, Dec. I. A majority of the War Investigating commission arrived here today after a visit to New York and Boston. Ex-Governor Woodburv and Dr. Conner were left to conclude the work in Boston. The commission will resume its sittings here tomorrow. The commissioners are anxious to . I secure a statement irom uenerm Brooke covering his connection with the Chickamauga Park camp and they are hopeful that he will return to this country to testify. The returning members report that it was very dim- cult to secure witnesses in either New York or Boston, the persons summoned generally manifesting a disposition not to press charges. Rostom. Dec. 1. The hearing of tbe War Investigation board was con tinued today. Dr. Edward H. Brad ford of Boston, who superintended the landing of troops brought to Boston by the vessels of the Volunteer Aid asso ciation, was questioned about the case f Lieutenant Tiffany, it appeared io be the doctor's opinion that had Lieu tenant Tiffany been sent to a pospital instead of being given in care oi hia friends his life might have been saved. Being an oflicer and on a furlough when he reached Boston, Lieutenant Tiffany was not subject to orders by r. Bradford. Mason Deuies the Charge W. G. Mason, the nlht operator at Julian, writes and complains about un Item than appeared in The News of the 1st inst, in which it saya that he had "a fighting jag on." He denies that he was drinking and says tnat he had just grounds for the trouble that he got into and was compelled to interview ih police judge. The News does not know that Mr. Mason was drinking, what led up to the trouble or why he pleaded guilty and paid a fine. The News is pleased to make any correction at any time for Mr. Mason or anyone else that may feel that it has stated other than facts. Nebraska City News. lOO for Letters About Nebraska.
