THE INSURGENTS TAKE REVENGE
Repressive Measures Have Reached
the Utmost Limits of Barbarism A
Gloomy View of the Crisis in Bul
garia Set Forth.
LONDON According to a Sofia tel
pgrani to the Times the Turkish re
pressive measures in Macedonia have
readied the utmost limits of barbar
ism, and it is evident that it is the
s intention to accomplish this by de
fgrees the total extirpation of the Bnl
garian population.
Within the last few dajs. says the
Times correspondent, twelve more
Christian villa?jes"have been handed
ovr to fire and sword, and the women,
children and the aged hate been mas
sacred indiscriminately. Convoys of
prisoners dispatched to Monastir have
been murdered by their escorts on the
way.
A private letter from a foreign res
ident in Monastir says even the local
Turks are disgusted and mediate as--rssiuatiug
the consul in order to pro
vokc European intervention.
The insurgents are doubtless taking
a terrible revenge and are executing
the revolutionary piogram to the let
ter. The repotted concentration of
large Turkish forces in the Adrianoplc
district nt" Mustafa-Pasha, Kisylagach
and other points on the Bulgarian
frontier is regarded with much appre
hension in Sofia.
A special dispatch published this
morning gives a gloomy icw of the
crisis in the Balkans. According to
teports from Constantinople a rnmot
whs current that war had already
been declared against Bulgaria. Tl

SAIL SET.
VERY FAST TIME.
New world' Record Made by the
Horse Dillon.
READVILLE, Mass.-Beforc a great
crowd of spectators at Readvillc on
Monday, and with track and weather
conditions perfect, Lou Dillon trotted
i a mile in two minutes, a new world's
record. So that no breeze might in
terfere, Millard Sanders, driver of the
great mare, brought out the daughter
of Sidney Dillon for the attempt early
in the day.
For pacemakers there were two run
ning horses hitched to road carts,
Peggy from Paris, driven by "Doc"
Tanner, and Carrie Nation, driven by
Scott McCox.
The first score was fruitless, Lou
Dillon making a break just before
reaching the wire. On the second at
tempt, however, the word was given.
Starting Judge Walker rang his bell,
but Tanner, nodded or him to say "go"
and turning to Sanders, called to hiji
to come along.
Tanner kept Peggy from PrHs di
rectly in front of the peerless chest
nut trotter while McCoy lay at her
wheel. In this way the trio went to
the quarter pole in thirty and one
quarter seconds. With never a skip
Lou Dillon went so smooth-galted
down the back stretch as to lead
those not timing the mile to believe
that her speed was not alarmingly
fast.
The half was clicked off in 1:00.
Around the turn to the three-quarters
pole the clip quickened, the third
quarter being in 30 seconds, mak
ing that mark of her journey in 1:31.
Faster and faster came Tanner with
the runner and right with him trot
ted the handsome California-bred
mare. Sanders was sitting perfectly
still, but McCoy was crying aloud to
his runner to cheer on Lou Dillon.
To the amazement of all the quarter
was driven in twenty-nine seconds,
thus making the mile in the wonder-

SIX MASKED MEN
HOB THE DEPOT AT M'FARLAND,
KANSAS.
STATION IS QUICKLY LOOTED
Railroad Men Are Soon Subdued
Passengers at Lunch Counter Rush
to an Uustairs Room and Save
Themselves by Blocking Entrance.
M'FARLAND. Kan. At 1 o'clock
Friday morning six masked men,
heavily armed, appeared at the Rock
Island depot and started to enter the
office door.
Conductor Monnchan of freight train
No. 48, which had just pulled in, and
Night Baggageman Charles Toler saw
them aad hurriedly attcmptedJo block
the door, but the robbers forced an
entrance and, after taking their mon
ey and watches, beat the railroad men
into insensibility.
They then rifled the depot of its
contents and going hurried to the eat
ing house, held up and took all the
valuables from half a dozen men on
the platform, employed at the round
house, and a part of the train crew.
Passengers at the lunch counter scur
ried upstairs and blocked the entrance
effectively. The bandits then looted
the eating house cash register and
silverware, doing their work in a cool
and collected fashion, after the man
ner of veterans.
Then, apparently as a joke, they
marched and carried six of the Rock
I&Iand employes, including the night
hostler and Baggageman Toler. and
locked them In a refrigerator car and
disappeared in an easterly direction.
' During the thirty minutes of their
presence not a shot was fired and
only Monnchan and Toler were in
jured. Two hours afterthc robbers disap
peared Sheriff Frv had organized a
posse, released the prisoners from the
refrigerator-car and galloped in pur
suit. The bandits were headed to
ward Topeka.
The banditts secured eight watches
and probably 130 in money. They
left McFarland on foot: The night
agent at Paxico. four milccs cast of
McFarland, saw them itass by along
the tracks on foot at 2:30 o'clock.
At 1 o'clock Friday afternoon there
is a report from Paxico that Sheriff
Fry and Chief Custy pf the Rock Is
land detective force, aided by four
county deputies, have the robbers lo
cated in a patch of timber near Pax
ico. Advices from Paxico at 2:30 show
that tha bandits eluded the posse in
pursuit and passed on through the
thick brush.

of the Time Limit '

Reliance ....11:02 1:55:10 4:38:45
Shamrock HI 11:02 2:07:40
NEW YORK. With Reliance less
than a third of a mile from the' fa
ish and Shamrock III. hull-down on
the horizon, fully two miles' astern of
the gallant defender, the fowrth race
of the present series for -the America's
cup Thursday was declared off 'be
cause of the expiration of the time
limit of five and one-half hours, as
happened on Thursday last. Although
officially it was no race, the defeat
administered to the challenger was
so ignominious that whatever linger
ing hope remained in the breasts of
the friends of Sir Thomas' boat van
ished. Reliance's victory was in ev
ery way more decisive than that of
last Saturday. Shamrock was out
sailed, outpointed and outfoolcd from
start to finish.
Reliance beat Shamrock ho'pelcssly
in the work fifteen miles to wind
ward, rounding the outer mark twelve
minutes and thirty seconds ahead of
it, a gain in actual time of eleven
minutes and twenty-nine seconds.
Down the wind it steadily increased
its lead. The real interest of the day
was not against Shamrock, but was in
the exciting struggle of Reliance in
the last half hour to reach the finish
line before the regatta committee fired
the gun which should announce the
expiration of the time limit.
Did not finish.
SOPER AND HUCKLEBERRY.
Government Officials Speculate in In-
dian Lands.
WASHINGTON. D. C It is stated
at the department of justice that
charges and allegations which have
been made regarding the official con
duct of United States Attorney P. L.
Sopor, his assistant, Mr. Huckleberry,
and United States Marshal Colbert,
all of Indian Territory, arc already
under investigation by officials of the
department and in due Jime a full re
port will be made to the attorney
general.
Messrs. Soper and Huckleberry are
alleged to have associated themselves
with one of a number of trust com
panies having to do with Indian
lands, but no charge is made that
the particular company with which
the gentlemen are connected have
been guitly of wrong doing.
The charges against United States
Marshal Colbert relate to his-official
conduct outside of Indian land mat
ters. The department of justice will
make a thorotigh investigation of, all
the charges.
PRESIDENT IS GRATIFIED.
Thankful That Consul Magelssen Es
caped. OYSTER BAY. President Roose
velt was notified Friday night by a
representative of the Associated Press
of the incorrectness of the report that
Vice Consul William C. Magelssen at
Beyroot, Syria, had been assassinated.
The president expressed gratifica
tion that Consul Magelssen had es
caped without injury from the assault
of the would-be murderer. He an
nounced, however, that no change
would be made in the plans of this
government and that the European
squadron which he ordered to pro
ceed immediately to Beyroot, would
continue to its ordered destination.
It can be said that the president
and Secretary of State Hay loth re
gard it advisable in view of the pres
ent state of unrest in Turkey, to
have American war vessels in Turk
ish waters:
For several hours President Roose
velt and Secrelar3- of State Hay were

the situation in Turkey. At the con
clusion of the conference Secretary
Hay announced his intention of re

WJLLET MISSED THE MARK
.Minister. Leiehman Explains How
Error Came to Be Mads Csrrec
tion Relieves the Tension Walsh
ington Officials Now Think Dialo
macy Will .Be Successful.
WASHINGTON A decidedly new
turn in the case of United States Vice
Consul William Magelssen at Beyroot.
Syria, who was reported to have been
assassinated last Sunday, developed
LFjiday night when it became known
that the report was incorrect and that,
although Mr. Magelssen had been shot
at, he had not been injured. This re
port came to the State department In
a dispatch from United States Minister
Leishman at Constantinople, who said
the mistake in making the original an
nouncement was due to a mistake in
translating the cipher message to the
minister. The dispatch from Mr.
Irishman followed closely on the same
subject which had been shown to the
prominent officials of the government.
The dispatch of the minister was com
municated to the president at once at
Oyster Bay, but up to a late hour
nothing had been heard from him on
the subject at the State department.
Its contents were extremely gratify-,
ing to the officials of the government
here, as it relieved the situation of its
extreme tension and leaves the way
open for an amicable and peaceful ad
justment of the incident. Whether
or not orders will be given calling off
the proposed cruise of the European
squadron to Turkish waters is a mat
ter for future determination.
Acting Secretary Loom is declined to
make public the text of Minister Leish
mans' dispatch tonight, but he gave a
summary of its coatents.
As stated in the press dispatch it
showed that Mr. Magelssen had been
shot at by some person at the time tin
kn6wn to the officials, but that he 'had
not been hit. The local Turkish offi
cials were prompt to express their re
gret at the occurrence and were exert
ing themselves to apprehend the as
sassin, but thus far had been unsuc
cessful. The minister's dispatch also said
that Consul Ravendal had reported to
him that some of the consuls located
at Beyroot had reported to their gov
ernment that the situation at that
place had become exceedingly unsafe;
that this condition of affairs had ex
isted for some time and that some
thing ought to be done to relieve the
tension. The opinion was expressed
that the attempted assassination of
Mr. Magelssen would probably bring
matters to a focus and some effort be
made to avoid further trouble.

ten miles to the leg. the fleet-footed
cup defender. Reliance, again showed
its heels to Sir Thomas Linton'. chal
lenger, taking the second race of the"
cup series of 1903 by the narrow mar
gin of one minute and niceteen sec
onds. It was as pretty and as bard
fought a contest as has ever been
sailed off Sandy Hook, and had the
wind not fallen during the last ten
minutes- the record for the course,
3:12:15. made by Columbia two years
ago in its memorable race against
Shamrock II. would have been broken.
As It was Reliance sailed the thirty
miles within two minutes and thirty
nine seconds of the record, which
speaks wonders for its speed in the
wind that was blowing. Reliance's
victory, narrow as it was. would have
Decn even smaller had not Captain
Wringe, the skipper of the British
joat, bungled the start, sending his
craft over the line nineteen seconds
aftcr the last gun and handicapping
it tp that extent. At every point of
sailing the defender's superiority was
demonstrated. It gained one minute
ind fifty-one seconds in windward
work, forty seconds on the run to
ihe second mark and forty-five sec
ands on the close reach for home.
Based on the magnificent showing
It has made in the two races already
sailed, it is the belief of many ex
perts that the cuu is safe and that it
will take something better than Fife's
latest creation to get it.
An assemblage of excursion vessels
almost as large as that of last Satur
day poured down through the Narrows
