Colorado Kpriniis, Col., Nov. 13. -Notwithstanding the titniont ef forts of the police, county officials and Wells-Pago secret service, together with the bloodhounds, up to a late hour tonight not even a shadow of a clue had been secured of the two rob bers who so successfully held up Night Express Agent Krout, of the Wells Fargo company, last night at the San ta Ve depot, and relieved him of ?20,- 000 in currency and only by pure acci dent missed securing another package containing $35,000 wore. Beyond the fact that both men wore crudo gunny sack masks, and were of small stature, Ag-ent Krout is apparently too scared to remember anything, and It Is doubt ful if he could even Identify their voices. Captain Dodgo of the Wells-Fargo secret service, with two detectives, ar rived here early this morning from Cripplo Creek, but reports seeing no suspicious characters on the trail. There are fully a dozen men at work In various directions scorning the coun try, but up to the present time their endeavors have not been rewarded with anything tangible. DENVER. Colo., Nov. 12. It Is now believed the -express robbers who ho cooly secured $20,000 last night from the Wells, Fargo & Co. station at Colorado Springs ari A. J. Oray, alias Ham Wells, and J. T. Ktuurt, allaa Uarr, two noted crooks who broke Jail In Colorado Springs last month. It. S. Montgomery, 'ii not her crook, was in Jail at the time, and because he was not taken into the confidence of the Jail breakers he sought the -express company In Denver and of fered to reveal the hiding place of these men, whom he then stated were plan ning to rob the company. Tim ofliclals here declined to listen to him then and now they are eagerly seeking for Mont gomery, who has disappeared. HE BLAMES THE TURKS. You nu: American a AVItnem of the TiirklMh Mussac-row.

A diabolica1 murder of a mother and child, it Is sup posed for the purpose of robbery, vats re vealed today, followed by the self-de-atructdon of the fiend when lie realized that hta crimes had been discovered and lynching awaited him in all probability.

Kuntz stated while here that he had been a master mechanic for a railroad,' and letters were found in his 'trunk addressed to William Kuntz, 157 Grand avenue, Kansas City. Lat Monday evening a tall, fine-looking man, accompanied by a woman and pretty girl, registered a t the Motel Ham ilton as C. Sohuler arid family. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon .Sehuler, who waa really Kuntz, hired a buggy and took thu woman nd girl to the depot, despite the inclement weather. At 5 o'clock he returned the vehicle and ate supper wt the hotel without exciting any suspicion, retiring afterwards. Dur ing the night a sheep herder discovered two bodies lying in the brush In Chacon bottom, just beyond a small reservoir, two and a half miles from the cen'tral part of the city. He noticed trails where tihe bodies had been dragged through the thorns by the murderer and the prints of the buggy wheels were noticed on the ground.

It is now believed that the powers will not take definite action against the porte uutil all the naval squadrons shall have as sembled in Turkish waters, which will be about the time that the British am bassador, Sir Philip Currie, returns after consulting with his government as to the future uction of Great Bri tain. In the meanwhile the state of suspense is decidedly wearying, and the ambassadors themselves will be preatly relieved when the hour for ac tion on the part of Europe arrives. That this time is coming now seems to be only a question of days. There seems to be no doubt that the spirit of revolution is spreading even among the old Turks, and the young Turkish party is said to be ripe lor re volt. The army needs money for pay, equipment and provisions, and the same state of afl'airs prevails in the navy, ilut the arrears of pay are not forthcoming, and there is much, grum bling in consequence, except among the palace troops, which are kept well fed, well paid and comfortably idle, for upon them depends the safety of the Sultan, who is in hourly dread of assassination. Under thee circum stances it is not astonishing that the army and navy are becoming disaf fected, and nobody would bo as tonished to hear that they had bided with the revolutionists, should the uprising take place. Re Drying to the inquiry of United States Minister Alexander W. Terrell, as to the safety of the American mis sionaries, Commissioner Darnhamhag telegraphed from Harput saying that the missionaries are alive but in ex treme danger. Mr. Terrell has in formed Tewfik Pasha ihat the govern ment will be held responsible for the safety of the Americans. The Turk ish minister for foreign affairs has as sured Mr. Terrell that everything pos sible will be done for their protection. As Mr. Terrell has great influence with the palace authorities, it may be presumed that Tewfik Pasha will keep his word. Fresh disturbances are reported from Maiatiah, where a number of persons have been killed, including four priests of the Society of Jesus, who were under French protection. The French ambassador, Til. Cainbon, has been appealed to, and is preparing a very strong representation on the subject to the porte. A squadron of live French warships has sailed from the Piraeus for Turk ish waters, and it is stated that an Italian fleet will rendezvous with the British fleet within a few days. There has been serious trouble at fnesarea, not far from Jerusalem, but no details of the rioting there havo yet reaehel this city. CANAL SCHEME INDORSED. The lulled States CouiniiBslon'a Report on the Nicaragua Project Favorable. Washixotox, Nov. 14. Trustworthy information hum been received as to the contents of the report of the com mission which examined into the feas ibility and cost and recommended a route for the Nicaragua canal. It is in the hands of the President, who is using it in connection with his work on his annual message to Congress. It indicates that a canal across the Isthmus via the Niearaguan route is entirely feasible from an engineering point of view. The cost of the pro ject as estimated was $1 ill, 000, QUO, but it is stated that this sum is too small by some millions. The route as propose! by the com mission is I7;i miles long, or three or four miles longer than that which the canal company propjscd. The com mission made surveys to the right and left of the company's route and has suggested some changes whicli it be lieves will be advantageous. The commissioners' waterway will be supplied with locks The San Juan river and Lake Nicaragua will be empio.t cd, but the former will require considerable dredging. The lake is lifty-six and one-half miles across from the San Juan to the month of the l.ajas. Some dredging will be required on the west coast of the lake, which is slioal for a distance of something like l.t'.'.o feet. IJrito will be the western terminus of the canal and the distance from this port is a little more thin seventeen miles. The estimate has been miido that in order to cmipleip the canal which the commission or ijios,, i years will bo required with it force of '.'0,0J tr.eu eciistauMy employed. EMPEROR OVERBIDDEN.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 14 The offi cers at the Lauca-ter ouuty jail yester day morning at about 7:30 o'clock were the most surprise! people in town, when Juror C. B. Yates, who had Ieeii serving in the Davis murder trial, cunie rushing up the jail Fteps. batless tivni biing, end with the cold sweat stajidii;K in great drops upon his face. Turnkey Harry Jones was the first man to Yates, and to have heaped upon him a shower of exclamations, such as an insane man alone can bestow. "They'ra after me! They have been running electric currents through me! They all -want to convict Davis and I don't! Won't you maUe them stop writ ing those notes about me? Protect me"' from those men; they are to 1 lg t chlor oform me. Thpy put chloroform in my coffee! Don't take mo back on the jury, will you?" These exclamations and a h;)t of others in a similar strain, he kept re peating ito the surprised turnkey, who had scarcely turned from the telephone over which instrument he had just re ceived notice of Yates' escape from the jury's room In the Capital hotel. Sheriff Miller was at-once called out of lien and endeavored to quiet the man, but in response he received only a continu-. ance of the incoherent remarks. As no argument on the part of th Blierilf could convince. Ya'tes that ther was no conspiracy against him, he was kept at tlie jail un'tll Judge Holmtw came down to the court house, when be was taken Into the Judge's priv.-i.ti otlice. Judge Holmes und Sheriff Miller together, labored with him for nearly an hour, and when It became evident that nothing could be done with hint, a medical examination was ordered. Dr.. Giffen and Dr. W. M. Kn-app were sum moned and ordered to take Yates to St. Elizabeth's hospital, there to subject him to an examination and to report im mediately afterward in court. At 2 o'clock Judge Holmes discharged the jury, telling the attorneys thai this was the only feasible way out of the unfortunate turn affairs had taken. A fpeclal venire of 21) namen was at once issued, made returnable on Friday morning at 9 o'clock. Over a hundred of the names drawn ar: from this city. Matters will be coiid.u'ted as exrdi tiously as pos.-ible und it is thought a jury may be obtained before the middle of next week, though the notoriety which the discharge or the present Jury has given the present, casa, will nmke it difficult to lind people in lvanea.ster county who have no opinion in th-j matter. A RAPIST ESCAPES. A Key I.r ft in the link flprnti the VTay to Freedom for Alonit Moors. Pl.ATTSMoi th. IVh Co. Neb.. Nov. 14.-- (Special.) Last evening between 6:"0 and 7 o'clock Alonzo Moore, who was confined in the Cass county Jail on a charge of rape, made his escape. At about half past six o'clock Jailor Den son brought the supper tray down stairs to the prisoners and placed it in side the steel cage. The door to the cage is operated by a lever, which is completely covered by an iroa box. The jailor locked this box. and, instead of taking the key with him, wenr. up stairs to supper, leaving it in the lock on the iron box. li was a very easy matter for Moore to reach through the bars and unlock tlie box, and then slide the lever and step out into the corridor. Ouce outside the cag?, he broke a hole through the rotten floor nd crawled out through a hole in the wall the same which was used by the live men who escaped from the jail a ccuple of months ago. The escape was discovered a few minutes afterwards, but as it waa dark Moore had a snap iu getting away. Sheriff Kikeubary has offered a reward for information leading to the atre.it of Moore. He is described as a short, dark-complexioned man about ten! one years of age, wearing a dark mus tache. Moore's victim was a fifteen-year- old girl named Veronica Patterson of Kock Bluffs, a few miles south of tbi. city. and. ns the state had a pood ea- against him. he would umloubo.'itiy havo been given a long term in tr.e penitentiary.
