HAVANA , April 18. Captain General Mar
tinez do Campos has Issued from Santiago
do Cuba n proclamation offering pardon to
all Insurgents with the exception of the
leaders , who will lay down their arms and
aurrcnder. He has made preparations to
Immediately pursue the members of the
bands who refuse to come In under the
proclamation , and the warfare against them
will bo waged vigorously. It Is stated hero
that some of the Insurgent bands have taken to
torturing helpless residents of the country
districts who have Incurred their displeasure.
At Blanqucsal , near Manzanlllo , a grocer
named Miguel Laiireada was surprised at
night by Macco's band. Ho was cruelly
tortured and horribly mutilated , after which
lie was tied to a tree , where he was left
for buzzards to cat. Manuel Igleslo , a
Brocer of Buejlcto , Manuel Rletos and on
old man named Vlcalna , who' fought against
the rebels In the last revolution , have been
murdered by roving Insurgents.
Senor Dupuy de Lome , the newly appointed
minister to the United States , arrived at C
o'clock this evening. It "Is expected he will
proceed for New York on Saturday , after
Investigating the Alllanca affair.
Private advices from the province of
Santiago do Cuba show that the forces of the
Insurgents do not amount to nearly the
number claimed by the rebels. Among the
leaders of the various bands are : Emlllo
Glral , a white man , who commands 200 men ;
Alfonso Goulet , mulatto , COO ; Bernardo
Gamacha , white. 100 ? VIctorlano .Gnrzen ,
white , 400 ; Louis Benne , ' mulatto , 20/ ) ;
Eduardo Domlngucz , white , 200 ; Vlctorlano
Hicrrezuelo , mulatto , 200 ; Qulntln Bandera ,
negro , 1,000 ; and Perlco Perl , white , 1,100 ;
a total of 3,000 , men. Of this number. 1,300
are said to be armed with rifles , while the
others use shotguns and machcttcs as
weapons. The rebels do not possess a single
piece of artillery.
Considerable excitement has been caused
by the fact that the rebels ore again re-
oortlng to the Incendiary tactics that caused
Eiich enormous looses to the planters during
the last Insurrection. The central planta
tion , the property of Senor Nicholas Cas-
tano , situated on the coast near Manzanlllo ,
l > as been burned by the' rebels. Two mil
lion arrobas of sugar cane were destroyed.
The advices do not show whether the ma
chinery of the plantation was destroyed.
Should the rebels burn many of them , the
loss would bo enormous. It Is stated on
good authority that the troops commanded
by Colonel Santoclldo have cooped up a
band of Insurgents In the mountains In the
province of Santiago do Cuba , and that
their capture Is onfy a question of time.
The rebels are making a stout defense , and
a very hot flro Is being exchanged.

TAMPA , Fla. , April IS. The steamer
OlUctte arrived from Havana tonight. The
passengers bring news of the revolution as
follows : The Cubans endeavored to cap
ture Guantnnlmo early Tuesday , the 10th.
The Cuban force wns 7SO , while the Spaniards
numbered 4,500. The Cubans presented a
body of about 200 men , ami the balance
advanced In ambush on cither side of a de
file. The Spanish threw themselves Into
the defile on the Cubans , killing fourteen.
The ambushed forces poured a continuous
volley Into the Spaniards , completely de
moralizing them nnd compelling them to
form a hollow square. .After a long stand
with heavy losses , the Spaniards made n
cautious retreat from the defile. The en
gagement lasted eight hours. The Cubans ,
becoming acquainted with the Spanish num
bers , withdrew.
Six thousand soldiers are now In Guan-
tnnlmo , and 4,000 more have been asked forte
to protect the city against the Insurgents
who , the passengers say , will moke another
attempt to capture the town.
The Cubans are now subject to a decree
the text of which Is : "Should any Cuban
or Spaniard propose peace , he will be Im
mediately executed. " The Cubans today are
Bald to have entire control of the province
of Santiago , excepting the largest cities.
The Spanish troops are concentrating In
Puerto Principe. Yesterday morning for the
first time. It was officially announced In
Havana that Marti and Gomez had landed
In Cuba.
General Carlllo , who distinguished himself
In the last revolution , has been brought
from Reumdlos , where he ) 'was ' arrested
some tlmo ago , to Havana , and put In
Moro castle. Ho Is Bald to bo an American
citizen.
A battalion of troops left Havana at 3
o'clock Moi day morning on an urgent call
from an Interior plantation owned by Mr.
Hlgnl of Connecticut , sixty-eight miles from
Havana. There were seven skirmishes
fought there last week. Ho raised the
American flag nnd sent word to the forces
of Spain that ho would hold them respon
sible for the damage done to his property.
Both sides then agreed to respect the prop
erty. A Boston firm putltng In machinery
on the same plantation made the same
complaint , but their property was not dam
aged ,
Consul Williams expects to leave Havana
on Saturday. Ho will go direct to New
York.

LONDON , April 18. Frederick Harrison ,
who sayo he has been a resident of Hawaii
for seventeen years , has written a letter to
the press from San Francisco , complaining
of the treatment to which British tubjects
have been subjected In Hawaii , He says :
"When the plan of revolt was prematurely
discovered In January the government seized
the pretext to make wholesale arrests. I ,
with others , was confined In a crowded filthy
prison. British subjects and others were
subjected to torturei , In the hope of obtain
ing evidence and to dragoon them Into testi
fying as directed. To the credit of England ,
only one man lurrendcred to the dastardly
methods. The dark cell , hunger , being
thrust naked Into a tank cf cold water until
the victim fainted , threats of cxccutlcn , the
arrest of other members of the prisoner's
family and bribes arc only samples of the
methods employed. "
Harrl-'on also complained that the British
government did not take any notice of the
affidavits which were forwarded to England
by British subjects who were subjected to
oppression of this character.
The St. James's Gazette , commenting on
Harrison's letter , says the Hawaiian govern
ment applied a mild form of torture to the
prisoners accused of sedition against the re
public , and expresses the opinion that the
British foreign office should Investigate the
charges mada , adding : "If true , wo are
bound to withdraw our recognition of this
government of second rate. "

MONTREAL , April 18. Two by-elections
were held to fill vacancies In Quebec con
stituencies yesterday. In Vercheros , a
French-Canadian and Roman Catholic con-
stltuency , the Issue was pre-eminently the
Manitoba school question and the government
hoped to redeem a lifelong liberal seat on
their plcdgo of remedial legislation to the
Manitoba Roman Catholic minority. The re
sult was disappointing to them , as C. A.
Colflone , liberal , defeated F. J. Blssaleon ,
ministerialist , by a majority of 281. In the
general election of 1S91 the liberal majority
was 103. In Quebec , west , the situation was
different. Thomas McGreevy , who was Imprisoned -
prisoned for defrauding the government In
connection with the Quebec harbor works
contract , stood for the seat , which he lost
on account of the scandal. Hon. John H.
Hearne , who succeeded him , was a conserva
tive and his death has made the vacancy.
McQreevy was opposed by R. B. Dobell , who
defeated him by seven votes. Dobell Is a
supporter of the liberal trade policy of tariff
for revenue , but , It Is understood , will give
the government an Independent support on
other questions.
TORONTO , April 18. The election which
took place In Haldlmand to fill a vacancy In
the Dominion Parliament was more important
than Is usual with a by-election , from the
fact that It Is the first time that an Ontario
constituency has spoken sine ? the order was
Issued from Ottawa suggesting relief for the
Roman Catholic minority In Manitoba. Dr
Montague , who takes the portfolio of secre
tary of state , represented the Dominion gov
ernment , nnd Jeffrey McCarthy , equal rlghter
solicited the Orange vote as a protest agalns
Interference with provincial rights. In the
election last held Montague had a majority
of ninety-eight. Today the figures stand
Montague873 ; McCarthy , 22C ; Montague's
majority. C47.
HALIFAX , N. S. , April IS. The by-elec
tton for the Dominion House of Common
yesterday In Antlgones resulted In the return
of Colin Slclsaac , liberal , by a majority o

ROME , April 18. The pope , through th
congregation of the propaganda , has ad
dressed a letter to the Canadian bishop :
condemning the frequenting of Protestant or
neutral schools by the Roman Catholics of
Manitoba.
WINNIPEG , Man. , April IS. Archbishop
Langevln of St. Boniface was Interviewed
this afternoon regarding the cablegram from
Rome announcing that the pope had addressed
a letter to the Canadian bUhops condemning
the frequenting of Protestant schools by the
Catholics of Manitoba. Ills grace said no
such communication had boon received by
him , and that the only letter upon the sub
ject of the schools which he had received
had come from Cardinal Vicar Ledochoskl
at Rome , a summary of which he had already
given to the press. Ills grace translated
the passage In that letter which referred to
the "godless" schools and .which reads as
follows : "Some have erroneously thought
there Is no danger In these schools which
are called neutral , and that Catholic children
can be Indiscriminately sent to these schools ,
but the very fact of such Institutions exclud
ing the true and all other religions from
their teachings Inflicts a great wrong upon
religion Itself and displaces It from the high
position It occupies In every human life , and
particularly In the education of the young.
It Is not right to say that parents can supply
privately the religion which should be part of
the school routine. "

WASHINGTON , April 18. The Impres
sion Is growing here that President Zelaya
f Nicaragua has taken too optimistic n
lew of the state of the relations between
Great Britain and his own country In as
suming that the former has decided to de
sist from carrying out her ultimatum to
Nicaragua , and that she will agree to allow
he . claim for Indemnity to go to arbltra-
lon. H Is regarded as a significant fact
here that Earl Klmberly , the British
foreign mlnlstci , has Just returned sud
denly to London , nnd It Is believed the ex-
ilanatlon of the delay In action Is to be
'ound In the fact that none of-the subor
dinates In the British foreign offlco felt like
assuming the responsibility for action In
the absence of Earl Klmberly.
Dr. Guzman , the Nlcaraguan minister
icre , has not heard from his government
is to Great Britain's purpose , but he Is
lourly ' expecting an answer to his cable In
quiry. From the delay In answering ho
believes the Nlcaraguan government is as
ret uninformed as to the latest phases of
.lie situation , and It probably Is In com-
[ nunlcatlon with Its representative at Lon

NEW YORK. April 19. The World has re

PARIS , April 18. The Petit Journal an
nounces that It has good authority for stat
ing that the prefecture of pollco has detailed
a number of detectives to Investigate an an
archist plot , the object : : which was to as-
sasslnato M. Faure , president of the republic ,
during the fetes at Havre In honor ot his
visit 16 that city. President Faure repre
sented one of the districts of Havro In 'the
Chamber of Deputies previous to Jils elec
tion to the chief magistracy of the republic.
The president Is also a ship owner of Havro
and a member of Its Chamber of Commerce ,
of which' body he was1 formerly president.
During the Franco-Prussian war he com
manded a battalion of volunteers from Havre
and led them to Paris , where he took part
In the suppression of the commune. Natu i-
rally the Inhabitants of Havre have been lookIng -
Ing forward to the nresldent's visit to their
city with considerable pleasure and a num
ber of elaborate fetes have been organize ! In
order to show the esteem In which he is
held In his electorate.
According to the Petit Journal , an an
archist , known as "Petit Bordeaux , " a man
of a typ ? similar to Caesaro. the murderer
of President Carnet , and Ravachol. the an
archist who was executed after hav
ing 'been convicted of being con ,
cerned In dynamite outrages , left London
recently on his way to Havre In order to
assassinate President Faure. Petit Bor
deaux , who Is a deserter from the French
army , was watched by the London police
and by the French detectives detailed to
keep an eye on anarchists In London. Consequently -
sequently his departure from London was
promptly signaled to the pollr-o of Paris and
of Havre. The authorities of these two
cities and elsewhere are taking the most
active precautions In order to protect the
president from Injury.
Whether the story Is true or not , It would
seem certain , at least , that the anarchists
have commenced operations , for two In
fernal machines were found In this city yes
terday. The first was found In the Hue St.
Simon and contained a number of loaded
cartridges ; the second was found on the Es
planade drs Invalldes and consisted of a
cylinder charged with dynamite.
President Faure arrived at Havre today
from Rouen and was enthusiastically cheered.
At the prefecture the president cordially re
ceived the officers of the British war ship
Australia , especially sent to represent Great
Britain In recognition of the French courte
sies extended to Queen Victoria during her
stay In the eouth of France.

SAN FRANCISCO , April 18. Theodore Du.
rant was very cheerful this , morning and
greeted everyone with whom ho came In
contact with a wn He and pleasant words. The
palpable change In the conduct of the accused
man Is caused by the belief that the police
have exhausted every mine of Information
against him , The searching ot the church Is
finished , and no further evidence has been
brought to light. He rested well last night
and ate a hearty breakfast this morning , Po
llco Surgeon Somers visited him this mornIng -
Ing to study his actions , In anticipation of a
plea cf Insanity , when the case Is brought
to trial. Dr. Somers says that Durant shows
no signs of an. unbalanced mind , tn fact , he
spcke with Intelligence on every subject that
was brought up. Durant seemed very pleased
that ho did not have to make a trip to the
morgue today.
Another witness has come forward , who
thinks he saw Durent and Miss Williams , era
a couple very much resembling them , at about
11:15 : o'clock Friday night. As he- passed
them he heard the young lady laugh and the
young man was smiling. Ho did not observe
their actions afterward , but says they were
walking toward the church. The description
tallies exactly with the- dead girl and Du
rant , ami If they were the persons hU < testi
mony will go to prove that the girl was not
dead early In the evening , as has been sup
posed.
Chief Crowley Is still hard at work trying
to strengthen the evidence against Durant.
Ho says that his men bavo so far obtained
no clews which would lead one. to believe that
the murderer had an accomplice. The chief
had a conference with the detectives engaged
on the case today , and not one of them have
found anything to prove that Durant IB not
the guilty man.
General Dickinson , Durant's cttorney , called
on him today anJ the two held an animated
conversation , which lasted for some time. At
the conclusion of the conference General Dick
inson Informed several persons that his client
Was about to make a statement which wvs not
to bo made public at present , and requested
the pollco to see that IJurant was not dis
turbed. Durant worked the whole afternoon
on the document and dented himself to all
newspaper men and his friends. Little hope
Is expressed that any bloody clothing belong
ing to the murderer will bediscovered. . This ,
the police say , is the only weak point against
the prisoner.
A slight reaction In public opinion ha ; set
In In favor of Durnnt , brought about , no
doubt , by the testimony of those who wit
nessed his coo ! actions after tbe discovery of
the body. His comrade * ' of the signal corps ,
who were present when the npws of the findIng -
Ing of Miss Williams' body , and that Durant
was wanted for the crime , was flashed by
the heliograph telegraph system from this
city to Mount Diablo , say that not a intts-
CD ! moved or flush passed over his face. His .
actions at the Christian Endeavor meeting on J
the night of the murder of Mlpa Williams
were so gay and ho teemed so self-possessed
that there are many who think the police
have run down the wrong man. On the other
hand , the circumstantial testimony against
Durant Is fed strong that something else will
h.ivo to be done to remove from the minds
of many people the Impression that be Is the
guilty man. The Inquest today did not go
on , but will ba resumed tomorrow.

KNOXVJLLE. Tenn-j April 18. Four hun
dred miners In the Rojral Coke and Coal com
pany's mines at CoaJ Creek , Tenn. , have
walked out because the- company refused to
discharge a mine superintendent and thirteen
miners brought from * Ohio , The shutting of
the mines throws out of employment 200
people besides the miners.
It Is feared tonight that the trouble of two
years ago with the- miners will b repeated.
This morning a supply cf whisky reached
their camp , and , becoming Intoxicated , a
number of the leaders made an attack on Mor
gan , the superintendent , whose discharge the
men demanded. Morgan and his friends
opened fire , fatally wounding a miner named
Hendrlckg. This precipitated a free fight. In
which a number of shots 7-cre fired , the Mor
gan party retreating- tbe "woods. The- miners
refuse to tell how many of their number were
hurt , but they are greatly excited , and the
whole valley Is arming. Tbe sheriffs of
Campbell and Anderson counties are on the
scene with deputies , but It Is feared the
miners will get a fresh supply of liquor and
cause trouble.

EVANSTON , Wyo. , April IS. ( Special
Telegram. ) The grand Jury empanelled by
the district court of Ulnta county last night
returned a true bill charging T. S. Crocker ,
a wealthy cattle man of this city , with the
murder of his partner , Harvey Booth.
Crocker was Immediately arrested. He will
be tried at the September term of court.
On the night of January 20 Harvey Booth ,
one .of the best known cattlemen of western
Wyoming , and a man of much wealth , was
found In the harness room of his stable , In
the heart of the town cf Evanston , mur
dered. He waa last seen alive at a store a
little before C o'clock on that evening , where
he made a small purchase , and went alone to
hls > stable to receive a load of straw he had
purchased. It Is supposed that he was struck
on the head with a hatchet or some blunt
Instrument as he entered the granary. Then
his head was beaten to n pulp. It was at
first supposed that the murder was committed
for robbery.
The offer of liberal rewards for the arrest
of the perpetrator of the crime led to much
work by detectives , which finally led to
suspicion in the direction of E. S. Crocker , a
partner of the murdered man , and the In
dictment by the grand Jury.
All the testimony before the grand Jury
and the coroner's Inquest has been kept from
the public , consequently It Is impossible to
say upon what the prosecution bases Its case.
Two years previous , on the same day , Wil
liam Crawford , n partner of Crocker & Booth ,
disappeared , and no one has heard a word
from him , and It is now supposed that he
was also murdered , but by whom It Is not
known.
The case Is one of the most remarkable In
the annals of crime , and will create deep In
terest when It Is brought to trial.

PHILADELPHIA , April 18. Ex-Mayor
William B. Smith of this city secured a ver-
diet of $45,000 damages against the Times
and Its editor , Colonel A. K. McClure , for
having charged that Smith owed largo sums
of money , had given bogus checks and fled
from the country. Before the trial ended
Colonel McClure caused a sensation in court.
He rosr , and addressing Judge Gordon , al
leged that he was not being treated fairly
by. the court nnd also that his witnesses 'were
being bribed. Ho also requested his attor
neys to withdraw from the case. The Judge
said the court was not showing any favor.
The Times today says : "The. ycrdlct was
simply a startling climax In the perversion
of Justice In Its own sanctuary and It will
certainly ba so regarded , not only by the
entire press of the etate and country , but
by every considerate and fair-minded citizen.
Had Mr. Smith been a man of the cleanest
reputation , of the highest character and
stainless In all his records as public oltlc.'a !
and citizen , a fair-minded court and Jury
upon a fair trial , with no semblance of truth
in the libel complained of , might have al
lowed a verdict of $5,000 or $10,000. But n
verdict of $45,000 rendered in favor of a mau
who in the highest ofllclal position he held
In the city was Impeached for the misappro
priation of public funds and In one ofllclal
military position waa dismissed from the
service for misappropriation of military funds ,
and whose subsequsnt reputation aa a busi

could not be explained In any other way than
by a startling climax In the perversion of

cerning the new 4 per cent government

It was to the effect that the successful bld-
uers In London for the new 4 per cent bonds
had cold a large amount through arbitrage
houses In this city , deliverable here In
Aufnist , at prices considerably below the
price prevailing In this market , due allow
ance being made for the difference In Inter

trage brokers , members of the syndicate
here , and that J. P. Morgan , who Is now In
London , Old the same thing Immediately
upon his arrival there , and stopped all
further sales of the bonds on the terms
mentioned. Now It Is said no bonds can be
obtained In London , except at the equivalent
of the New York mntket prices , with the
necessary allowance for difference In Inter

syndicate , were unwilling to talk about the
matter today , except to protest they had
no knowledge of any such transactions us
those mentioned. They admitted , however ,
that bonds had been sold In London deliv

During tbe Morning.
PITTSBUno , April IS. There was a
crowd of eager nnd excited people In tbo
lobby ot the Stock and Oil exchange when
the gong sounded this morning. The disas
trous break In oil from $2.02 to (2.17 ( at the
close ! yesterday had so staggered brokers that
they prepared for anything today. But the
surprise at the opening was an agreeable
one to holders of certificates for the open
Ing quotation was $2.25 , and this was Imme
diately followed by a sale at $2.40 , an ad
vance of 23 points over yesterday's clotlng.
From this It sold down to 37i ! , and at 10'SO
was ! quoted at $2.41 bid , The Standard aga > n
raised Its prlco this morning , but only lOc.
It reached $2.CO and for the first tlmo since
the boom struck the market , the exchange
price was below the Standard's.
Reports I from all the fields Indicate that
lero Is no cessation In activity and the
rospcct for the new territory goes on with
nnbatcd zeal.
From 10:30 : until noon the oil market was
ulte active , and It nearly recovered from
the big break of jcstcrday. The highest
olnt reached this afternoon was $2.57. and
the lowest $2.35. At noon oil was quoted at
$ 2.55 bid. Speculators are getting over their
care of yesterday and are gaining confidence.
The activity of the oil market Is having a
tlmulatlng ! effect on local securities. Plilla-
elphla Gas , Wcstlnghouse and other local
locks went up this morning.
The market was steady and active all after-
eon , but took n slight slump IUMI- the clos > e.
'ho highest point reached during tlin day
wa $2.57 and the lowest $2.i5. It ctscd : at
$ 2.44 bid.
BRADFORD , Pa. . April IS. The break In
oil yesterday has killed the speculative IH-
Ilnatlons and the brokers' offices arc de-
erted , as all holders of oil were cleaned out
esterday. The Standard Is paying $2.60 for
xcdlt balances , a gain of 10 cents over yes-
erday.
TOLEDO , April 18. The number of now
Igs that are being erected In the northwest-
en Ohio field Is something enormous , and If
the prlco of the crude product holds up any-
vlicro near what It Is now the oil trade will
nake this by far the greatest year In the
Istory of the Trenton limestone field. Pco-
pic M-lio never had an Idea ot embarking In
tin oil business are out hustling for lease ! ,
hero Is a fascination about the oil Industry
hat ; catches them all , and when once In It
hey are there to stay. Every outgoing
rain In the direction of the oil country Is
oadcd down with passengers. Ten-barrel
errltory is now considered very valuable
by the trade , which Is hustling after It. On
iaturday last the shipments of Lima crude
by the Buckeye Pipe Line company amounted
tn 84,119 barrels. The runs were 113,543 bar-
els. The largo runs are accounted for by
tin selling of oil by those parties who were
oldlng ! for better prices. The shipments
vere very large , and if they average that ferny
ny length of tlmo the surplus will diminish
cry rapidly. The largest and most Im-
> ortant well completed In the Trenton rock
llstrlct during the past few days Is the
iroperty of Talt & McDonald , located near
Montpcller. It started at better than 300
barrels a day.

PEND13R , Neb. , April 18. ( Special Tele ,
ram. ) Sheriff Mullln , who attemptc-d to ar-
est an Indian policeman this morning about :
iovcn inllco from here , on the reservation ,
ras overpowcreJ by Indian police , handcuffed )
nd taken to the agency.
Late this evening ho returned to the city.
ID had been taken before a Jiutlco of the
teaco and released on his own rccognlzancs
o appear for trial Saturday. He at once or
ganized n posse of ten armed men and ro-
urned to the reservation with the alleged In-
entlon of arresting the agent and Indian po
le. .
At 11:30 : the posse started for the Marmton
ousc , seven miles from here , where eight
ndlan police arc known to be stopping over
Ight , holding possession of the house , fron >
vhlch they drove the leaser this morning.
The police are armed , and a lively encounter
lay occur , but the pose Is made up of the
cry nerviest nnd coolest headed men that
, ould bo picked out , and , should the pollco
cslt't arrest , there will surely be bloodshed.
Many of the citizens will remain up until
.ho result of the attempted capture Is known.
The object In going at this late hour Is to
nke them by surprise and capture them wlth-
> ut shedding blood If possible. If , however ,
Jio pollco have a sentinel out , which Is re
garded as quite probable by men who are
veil posted on the nature of the Indians , there
s no doubt that a fight will occur. They cx-
< eot to reach the house where the reds are
limrtertd by 2 o'clock. ,
Thsro are conflicting rumors regarding the
nanncr In which the sheriff was arrested.
n his hurry that ofllclal failed to make that
icliit clear. One rumor l to the effect
hat the Indian pollco road a war-
ant to him which had been Issued several
lays ago by United States Commissioner
Spencer at Dakota City , and which the Indian
lollcc have since been carrying around , await-
Jig a chance to catch him on the reservation ,
ivlille another report says that when the sher-
ff arrived at Waterman's place , the men
ivhom the pollco were trying to dispossess ot
heir land , and attempted to read a warrant
or their nrrcst , three or four of the Indiana
ipized the sheriff nnd handcuffed him , whllo
ithers stood around with drawn revolvers , a
warrant tor him not to resist the police.
This story seems to be the most authentic *
ml Is generally ucepted as reliable.
The sheriff went to the reservation ,
alone this morning instead of taking help ,
and his action In refusing help has created
lonsldcrablo unfavorable criticism. While.
L good many are Inclined to censure the
sheriff for attempting the arrest alone , It
s now belloved that ho acted wisely , for It
s believed that had a posse of men gene
hero would probably have been several llvea
lost , and the sheriff thought , by going alone ,
the Indians would submit to arrest. Their *
action this morning , however , confirms the
itory set afloat some time ago that Beck hail
nstructed hU police to resist arrest by civil
authorities.
