Just UH day was breaking Acting Chief I
Alllo , Captain iMontaguo and other oUlcers
rapped on the door of the Shnnnhan doml-
rllc and demanded admittance. This time.
there wore no shots and no refusal , for j
Jvtr . Shanahan promptly opened the door
and permitted the officers to enter. Shana-
faan was found In bed with a revolver In
each hand. He gave hlmticlf up to the offi
cers without any resistance. Not knowing
what might happen if the prisoner was
ledged In the city jail. Chief Alllo drove
to the county jail with him as rapidly as
possible.
While on the way to jail Shanahan was
questioned by the officers about tbo affair.
Ho said that Joyce and Caflaban entered
IIH | saloon and called for beer and while
ho was drawing It they commenced to j
"jolly" him about holding hi hi up. As ho
turned to eel the glasses on the bar Joyce ,
ho alleges , advanced behind the bar with
ono hand In his hip pockot. This action
Shanahan considered suspicious , especially
on account of what had been said , and he
grabbed a revolver nnd jamming It against
Joyce's abdomen commenced pulling the
trigger. After a shot or two bad been fired
Shanahan says that Callahan took the gun
( from him nnd fired , the bullet grazing one
of his eyebrows Sbanahan sayu ho wrested
itho revolver from Catlahan and pumped
bomo lead Into him. Ho Insists that the
mon were trying to hold him up and claims
that the shooting was done In self-defense.
Chief Allle nnd Captain Montague do not
place much reliance In the holdup story , as
Shanahan's statements are not berne out
Iby the facts. In the first place Joyce was
shot In the mouth and not In the abdomen.

limit-nit to Secure IlIdoiioe. .
The seeming of witnesses has been a hard
matter , for only one man has been found
who admits that bo saw any part of the
affair. This man Is named Deimisey. and
he says that when ho looked Into the saloon
Callnhan was standing at the bar begging
Shnnahan net to fchoot him. Dempscy has
agreed to bo a vvltnom and tell what ho
knows about the case when the coroner

tlmo ago and have been working steadily at

In Chicago Callahan bometlmcH goes by the
jiamo of Connors The fact that these men
nro known by different names has caused
tiomo people to think that Shanahan's story
of the attempted holdup Is all right The
jtollce , however , do not place much reliance
in. this , as men who are cmplojed In pack

tthon they mo\o from ono locality to an
other.
A telegram was received jestcrday nftcr-
noon from Joyce's parents directing that
< ho remains bo forwarded to Chicago for

At the suggestion of County Attorney
Shields , Drs C. M Schlndol nnd W. S. Cur

An n\oltliiI Im-ldeiit.
Ono of the most exciting Incidents of the
rffalr wan when Acting Captain Montague ,
accompanied by Officer Ed Henley , walked
along the east eUlo of the saloon building
and stopped at the Hide door. .Montague
opened the screen door nnd then rapped. As
ho did HO ho stopped aside , although still
holding the door open. The sound of rap
ping had hardly ceased when a shot from a
heavy revolver was heard and tbo crowd
ntatidlng nt the corner of Twenty-eighth and
Q streets saw a man across the street nnd
directly opposite tbo door fall Into the gut
ter. The officers at once ran over to see If
another killing -nns to bo added to the list ,
but .found that the man who had fallen was
only drunk and the shot had frightened him
eo that ho fell. Montague was near enough
to the door when ho rapped to hear Shana-
Jian'a wife Ba > , "Don't shoot , " but Shana
han did not heed and pulled the trigger U
< was found later that the bullet , 45-callbcr ,
had lodged In the doorslll , within a few
inchea of where Montague and Hanlcy were
standing
After this Incident Captain Montague saw
It was napless to attempt to capture Shana-
Qinn as long as the crowxl was about , mud so
ho directed the men under him to dtsperso
the gathering and keep every ono away
from the vicinity of the saloon This was
no easy task , but was finally accomplished.
Officers1 were stationed nil nbout the build
ing In order to prevent Shanahan's escape.
With no sign of activity the crowd slowly
melted away until only n Tow- were left

for something to turn up ,

While llng on the floor of the drug store
Callahan had several sinking epelle , and It
vuu feared that each one would bo his last.
Hli strong constitution , however , pulled him
through , but Dr. II. K. Scblndel stated that
the wounds would ultimately prove fatal.
The doctor said tbo patient might live two
daye but hardly any longer than that.
Shojtly after 3 o'clock the police arranged
to tuko Callahan to the South Omaha hos
pital , < > nd It was there that Acting Chief
Alllo and Captain Montague tried to get a
vtatemcnt from him , Cullauan was per
fectly conscious at the time and recognized
tha officers. He , bowcv r , positively refused
to make any statement In any way con
nected with the affair Yesterday afternoon
County Attorney Shields nnd the officers at
tempted to nectiru nn ante-mortem state
ment , but Callahan was still obdurnto and
positively refused to talk on the subject.
However , he promised to make a statement
today If he felt well enough to talk.
A crowd constantly hung nbout the doors
of Taylor's drug store where Callahan lay
on the floor djlng. Every few moments
homo one would vc ner the Infprmatlon

crowd moving , thus preventing 4 forma
tion of any plans. A half dozen different
men In the crowd were heard to offer their
services ns leaders of the proposed lynching
party , but for some reason the rank and file
hung back. The shot fired nt Captain Montague -
taguo when he rapped on the door hnd evi
dently Intimidated some who were present.
The remains of Ed. Joyce lay at Drow-
cr's undertaking rooms nil day nnd during
the forenoon quite a crowd collected In
front of the place. As there appeared to bo
no objection to allowing the remains to bo
scon many wcro shown the face of the dead
man. An Inspection of the body shows that
the Jjullet entered nt the right side of the
nio'uth , knocking out four tueth nnd sever
ing the carotid artery. The bullet was
foimd lodged just beneath the skin at the
buck of the neck and was easily removed.
Shnnahan's saloon has been closed by the
police.

In nn interview Sunday night nt the
county jail Sbnnahan told n concise ,
plausible story descriptive of the ehootlng.
Ho declared that there was not a disturb
ance In the saloon , and that besides Joyce
nnd Callahan there was present only ono
other man , whoso name ho docs not know.
The shots , ho stated , were fired In self-de
fense.
"I will toll you Just how It was , " Shann-
han said , "It waa closing up for the night ,
as It was a few minutes after 12 o'clock ,
when the-so two men entered the bar room.
There was another man there I don't know
his name. Ho was standing near the screen ,
leaning on the bar. I am acquainted with
the men I shot , but I don't know their
names.
"Tho biggest ono came arojnd the corner
of the bir , where I was standing. 'Shana
han , ' he said , 'I understand you have told
people that if I ever tried to take your gun
as I did Condon's jou would shoot me. '
Thlfl same man tried to hold up Condon's
saloon about two weeks ago and ( Tailed. He
tried to take Condon's gun from him nnd
did so ; that Is what ho was alluding to
Replying to him , I only said , 'I don't know-
about that. ' 'Well , I know , ' the fellow con
tinued , 'and I am going to take your gun
nnd your money , too '
"He reached for his pistol pocket. I
grabbed his wrist , preventing1 him from
drawing his pistol , and shot htm twice.
Afterward ho ran out. His partner , the
llttlo follow , stood In front of the b-ir all
this time , covering me with a revolver. As
soon ns I fired I dropped down behind the
bar co the little fellow couldn't hit me. The
third man keipt shouting to the little fellow ,
telling him not to shoot at mo because ho
might hit his partner.
"The smaller man , supposing I was down
behind tbo bar , crawled up over It to try to
get a shot at .me , but I had crept along to
the flnd f , Uia\bnr.-and , > looklnsdround5ihb
corner I sawrliTrn as mas trjlng to see what
had become of me. Then I let him have
two shots and he dropp'cd.
"All t'irce men left the saloon. I locked ,
up , went up stairs , loaded my revolver and
got reidv for those fellows to return. One
of the five chambers of the pistol contained
a shell that had not been fired. In about an
hour I hcaid seme mon pounding on the door
as If they were going to break it In. Then ,
I fired ono shot Into the floor to scare them
I didn't know- the men wcro officers nnd
thought they might be the men I had shot.
Whoever they wcro went away.
" \bout 7 o'clock In the mornlnc the po
lice carne for me. I was In bed , but my
wife told mo and I Instructed her to let them
In. Then they arrested me. I was not
under the Influence of liquor when I did the
shooting because I had not been drinking.
It was Saturday , payday , and I have to keep
clear-headed on every pnvday , as there Is
always a largo trade then. "
Shnnahan stated tbnt the man ho first shot ,
the larger of the two , hnd tried to hold up
Thomas Condon's saloon , 170 South Twenty-
eighth street , about two v\ecks ago , Shan
ahnn said that Condon did not report the
attempted robbery for fear that it would
harm his trade by so doing.

KINGSTON , Jamaica. July 30 > A private
cable dispatch received here by way of Cape
Hnjtlen reports that the revolution In San
Domingo Is progressing favorably. The dis
patch says that the real reason for the
detention of President Houreaux's body nt
Santiago nnd its Interment was that the
country between Santiago and Porto Plata
Is occupied by the Insurgents , who , abin-
donlng tbolr plan of occupying Moca as a
base of operations , are concentrating to at
tack Porto Plata , which Is feebly garrisoned ,
Great excitement prevails owing to the
fact that the government has not been able
to ascertain the extent of the ramifications
of the revolution and Is growing demoralized
through the death of the president.
In the event of the revolution succeeding ,
according to the private cablegram , It
is probable that Jlmlncz and Jltones , the
reputed leaders of the revolution , will agree
to retire , offering the presidency to Gen
eral Maximo Gomez , who would prove acceptable -
ceptable to all parties. A deputation , It Is
reported , is going to Cuba to confer with

SnrKronx Sent from IVnuhltiKtoti ,
WASHINGTON , July 30. Surgeon General
Wyman of the marine hospital service was
Informed Saturday night of an outbreak of
what was feared wns jellow fever nt the
Nntlonnl Soldiers' Homo nt Hampton and

ice from Wilmington , N. C. , Norfolk and
Washington to Investigate the sickness there ,

hero and take measures to prevent the spread
of the disease.
Dr. Wyman himself will go to Hampton
in a few days to take charge of the work
of preventing a spread of the disease If

of the surgeons dispatched to the homo re
ported today that the symptoms very much
resembled those of yellow fever nnd while

illness was the dreaded jellow Jack. The
government will adopt strict precautionary

violence , and apparently very little attention
was paid to the Big Coiibolldntcd cirs ,
which rnn on nil lines on schedule time.
On the south side and out Broadwaj to
New burg the cars were run practically
empty , but the east side lines , and especially
those running to the parks , weio well pa
tronized , though they carried fewer passen
gers by far than usual on fair Sundajs
Adjutant General Axline , speaking of the
fear of the people to ride on the cars In
certain sections of the city nt night , 'f.ald
today : "This state of affairs is likely to
continue for several weeks or months unless
R settlement Is reached. The only way to
put a stop to It Is to declaic imrtlal Jaw
That will require 4,000 or D.OOO soldiers nnd
every street will be patrolcd Everybody
will be required to remain Indoors after a
certain hour and all who are out after that
tlmo without a permit will bo arrrsteiU
But martial law would put an end to the
trouble cffectuillj- . "
The only exciting Incident on the south
side was the hold-up of an ice cream wngon
by a crowd of soldiers who took from It a
four-gallon frcecer full of cream. They cf-
fered money for the cream , but the dilver
of the wagon icfused to accept It , saying he
could not sell It. The soldiers say they or
dered the cream several days ago and the
dealer promised to deliver It , but It did not
come , probably because of the boycott.
When the soldiers saw ono of the company's
wagons coming today they stopped It , took
the cream and offered to pay for It. The
people In the neighborhood looked upon this
as a great outrage , but the soldiers only
laughed and treated It as a joke.
Business Agent Pratt of the Union of the
Big Consolidated Strikers Issued n state
ment today in reply to the Intimation that
there wns a breach between the strikers
and the employes of the Llttlo Consolidated.
The latter have organized a separate union
and have decided not to take part in a
wympathetlo strike. Pratt thinks they
should have joined his union and ho says
In his statement that the motive which
prompted the organization of the separate
union was not 'pure. Ho accuses certnln of
the Llttlo Consolidated employes of trying to
head off n strike on those lines , and ho Inti
mates that it Is unwise to divide the funds
and energies of the two unions.
A number of ministers preached on the
strike today. Tonight at the I'lrst Methodist
Episcopal church Rev. Louis Albert Banks
took occasion to denounce the violence that
had taken place nnd condemned the proposed
boycott ns highwaymen's tactics. He was
loudly applauded by the largo congregation
present. An aged member of the church
then delivered a iliort address , endorsing
whnt the minister said , When ho called upon
all who endorsed , the sentiment expressed to
rise the whole congregation stood up.

TRIESTE , July 30 ( New York World Ca
blegram Special1 Telegram ) Since his ar
rival hsro Admiral Dewey has received nil
the newspaper correspondents who called ,
IncliicMng thom of ninny European papers.
Certain European correspondents , misunder
standing American democracy , mistook the
admiral's kindness for carelessness and with
only n word or two of cnsitnl convcrsntlon ,
or with no framework of fact nt all , built
up nn elaborate fabric of Imagination.
Admiral Dewcy treat- * nil these fabrica
tions with silent contempt He has not In
n jcar denied a sitrgfe statement Imputed to
him or a story told nbout him. One corre
spondent , robing upon tlio admiral's rule ,
( capped the climax of falsehood , The adI I
mlral's patience Is nbout exhausted. In Ma
nila 8avcr.il American correspondent * wcro
constantly received on the llngshlp nnd to
them the ndmltal often spoke frecl.iin.1
with cnndor , but never without iobcr/e. I
have often , In the six months tbut I hive
been with htm as n corrcspon lent , heaul
him In private conversation sp ° . k ot our
German relations , but never anything ic-
motoly like the opinions attributed to him
In this Interview. Ho Is always diplo
matic.
The last few days have been very quiet
for the admiral. He drove jestcrday to the
Emperor Prancls Joseph's training stable In
the countrjHe has received a heap of
mill , which has received careful attention.
Nearly all the Olympla's officers nnd men
have locovcred from the fcvor. The con
duct of the men on shore leave hero , ns
elsewhere , has caused unusual admiration.
The Olympla departs on Tuesday for Naples ,
where It is due Friday.
United States Consul Hossfeld sent nn
autograph album to Admiral Dewey today
and with It the card ot the owner , the Prin
cess Mary do Llgourl , who was an American ,
i Miss Williams , before her marriage. The
admiral noticed many Turkish signatures in
i the album , dated jears ago.
! "Is It possible , " ha asked , "that this Is
' the daughter of the American minister to
j Turkey whom I met when I was an ensign
on the old frigate Wabash' 1 was In Con
stantinople on her In 1858. "
It turned out that she was. She did not
remember having met the. admiral , though
ho must hnvo been among other officers ot
the Wabash whom she met. But she was
a great beauty In those dajs and the admiral
remembered her after forty-one years He
sent his launch for the princess and they
exchanged reminiscences. She had married
an Italian prlncewho Is now nn Inspector ot
the Austrian * Lloyds * f 1 *

"In this conversation the admiral spoke

This party chartered a boat nnd got along
side ! and exchanged greetings with the
bojs. , Whedon was allowed to get on the
lower end of the ladder and embrace his
foil.

The bojs all reported a good vojnga across ,
with little sickness. The Lincoln and
Omaha bojs were reported to b In good
health. Colonel Mulford came down on the
bridge and received from The Dee corre
spondent his first news from home , being
a letter from his wife.
Some time after midnight Governor Poyn-
ter and a few others wont out to the ship
on a tug , but by that tlmo most of the
men had gene to bed , and the a pa being
choppy the \lslt was not lengthy.
Men In .lolly Spirit * .
At 7.30 this morning the party con tstlug
of C. O. Whedon , Judge. Ryan and The Boo
correspondent woio out In the bay In a
launch and were allowed to stand at the
top of the gangway at the deck of tha Han
cock and were nblo to converse and shako
hands with the Nebraska bojs. They were
undergoing medical Inspection , which lasted
two or three hours. Cadet Taylor was the
only other Nebrasknn who got out to wit
ness this ceremony.
The Hancock had moved over to Angel
Island , about five miles from the city. The
men all looked fine and were In Jolly spir
its. Only fourteen nero unable to assamblo
on the deck for Inspection. None of these
were serlouslj 111.
"The passage across has been flno , " said
vMajbr Eager , "and the men are all feeling
satisfied. 1 think they h , vo gained on an
average- ten pqumh More lnco Jhey salloj
for home. " i .
This statement was repeated by other offi
cers and men. Colonel Mulford said the
men could not possibly fool bettor. The pm-
sago across was without Incident. The ship
averaged about fifteen knots. There had
been one delay of six hours before reaching
Nagasaki on account of a break ID the ma-
cblneiy.
During inspection In the morning the band
played a number of lively airs. The men ,
as soon as they could leave the vaults , cnma
forward and consigned to The Bto corre
spondent scores of letters and telegrams to
bo sent as their first messages homo. They
examined cuilously the revenue stampi , .

The dcmonstiatlon Unit v\ni arranged and.
widely advertised by Governor Poyntor ,
Congressman Stark and Adjutant General
Ranyhercby the Hancock wa , to be met
In the harbor with a decorated tug , brass
band and other festivities , failed to nu-
tcrlall/c. The gubernatorial party did not
iliowup untir Just at noon , after the trans
port had anchored alongside the govoinmmit
wharf. Then the three Nebraska ofllclals
drove down In a carriage and viewed the
ship from the wharf , but there was no dem
onstration of any nature.
The other Nolmiaka people who had been
Invited to accompany the governor on hla
ollklal boat nero disappointed nnd did not
reach the ship until llvo hours after the
party headed by C. 0. Whedon , as chalr-
man of the state reception committee , had
climbed on board.
There was an Incident when the Hancock
started to steam In from the quarantine
station that might have been serious. Ait
the ship started Judge Jlyan attempted to
get on board the launch that had been char
tered and which bad been lying alongside.
Ho was too late and dnnglod for a time
over the briny deep. It took the efforts
of four sailors to rcacue him and got him
back nn board ,
The visitors who came on board the trans
port during tin ) day wore all Interested to
see young Grayson , the Ncbraskan who fired
tbo first shot In the Philippine war , Gray-
on very modestly explained that when It
cama to a question as to whether
ho or the Tagal was to bo shot
ho acted true and quick and downed the
other fcliow.

Just bcfaro the transport came up to tha

and tbo mall for tbo regiment was brought
off from hhoro There were a great many
lettern nnd the boys crowded around with
great anxiety as the names were called off ,
Most of them looked happy ever the news
from homo , but there wcro some sad fates.

trickled down his face ,
A comrade observed him and Inquired.
