NEW YORK, July 29.Tho Hamburg
American lino steamer Allegheny which ar
rived here today reports that It wua held
In tho harbor of Savanllla, Colombia, tor
twelve houra. Passengers on tho AIIpbIipiw
leport that Abel Mtirrlllo was arrested on
the ship at Cartagena and taken ashore by
tho Colombian authorities. Murrlllo pro
tested against bla arrest, claiming that he
was entitled to tho protection of tho Gcr
man Hag.
.uurriiio is said to bo tho secretary of
uencrni urihe. Ho went to Colombia, It I
reported, wun a passport given by the
representative of the Colombian govern
ment at Washington with tho understand
ing that his mission to Colombia was a
peaceful one.
ncn tno vessel arrived at Cartagena It
was ordered detained by the authorities
there. Tho captain protested that ho was
Bailing under tho Gorman Hag and that no
otllclal of Colombia had a right to stop thu
wiBnei tor any purposo whatevor. This pro
lest was unheeded, however, and search
was made for Murrlllo, who was found on
CICCK.
" uctmreri mat no would not do ar
rested and running to ono of tho ship's
masts ne solzed tho German flag which was
lying tucro and wrapped It about him.
Then he stood forward and cried out: "I
am under the protection of tho German Hag
and you have no right to arrest me."
According to the passengers on the Alle
gheny the Colombian ofllccrs, notwithstand
ing the protest, seized the man and dragged
him from thu vessel.
.Murrlllo Anticipated Trouble.
According to a signed statement made by
three of the Allegheny passengers Mur
rlllo left the United States about four
months ago on a passport signed by the
Colombian minister In Washington. On his
arrival at Savanllla ho was arrested and
taken to tlngotn, where be wjs released on
tho undemanding that ho would sail on tho
first vessel for tho United States. This
Murrllio did, boarding the Allegheny ut
Savawllla. H. expressed ream that he
would bo arrested at Cartagena and whun
the vessel arrived at that port ho refused
to go ashoro when word was brought that
tho governor wanted to too him. His ar
rest followed. The statement made by tho
passengers then says that tho captain of
tho Allegheny again protested against the
nrrest, saying It was against the Inter
national law and lit the same tlmo the
captain told the mate to put tho German
ling on tho gangway so that tho Colombian
oflleors would have to tread on It If thoy
took Murrlllo.
Tho . arrest did not tako place at this
tlmo and tho pollco withdrew on tho cap
tain's protest. Later, however, tho ship's
clearance papors wore refused and tho
statement was made that they would not
bo furnished until Murrlllo was surren
dered. A signed statement concerning the Inci
dent then says: "Tho raptaln then went
on land and after a while returned with
more policemen and wo then thought that
he was going to glvo up tho passenger In
exchange for his papors. The police went
tip to Murrlllo and tearing from him the
dirty rag,' as they called tho flag of
Knlsor Wllhclm, took tho prisoner from the
ship." This statement is signed by Edward
J. White, a DrltlBh subject, Klme Van Den
Dorborgo, a Gorman and Charles F. Tope,
a citizen of tho United States.
Neither tho officers of tho Allegheny or
of the line would make any statement con
cerning tho arrest of Murrlllo.
At tho olllco of tho German consul gen
eral in this city It wan said that Captain
Lowe made no complaint thero of tho de
tention of his vessel,
.utlllCN 1 1 ii me Oilier.
Kmll li, lloas, agent of tho Hamburg
American line, said today that ho had re
ceived tho report of Captain Lowo and had
cabled It to the home olllco. What It was
ho would not say.
"1 havo placed tho whole matter before
the homo olllco," ho said, "and thoy will
decide whether or not to take any action.
1 nm not an International lawyer and do
not know whether there remains anything
for tho German government to do. At any
rate, It Is out of my hands."
Martinez I'erez, a prominent Colombian
here, says that Murrlllo would no doubt be
confined In the old Spanish prison In Car
tagena. This prison Is below tho sur
face of tho sea nnd prisoners confined
there, lie says. Invariably contract malaria
nnd tbolr health breaks down. Letters re
ceived hero from a Colombian conserva
tive, local Colombians say, assort that tho
conservatives tried to have fruits and del
icacies taken to Murrlllo in prison, but thu
eflorts failed. This occurred tn Bogota. It
Indicates, the Colombians here say, how
bitter tho feeling against Murrlllo must be,
when even conservatives nro refused an op
portunity to show him favors.
Why Ho Took Milllirt-Kto. '
I'orez says the reason Murrlllo took tho
peace manifesto to Colombia was that
Home ope must go to show its authenticity.
Accordingly Murrlllo as Urlbo-Urlbe's prl
oto secretary took tho document.
A J. Itcspo, ugont for the Colombian In
surgents In this city, says that the reports
of Goneral Urlbe-Urlbo's whereabouts are
contradictory. Colombian official tell
where ho Is, according to Hespo, but they
don't know. Ho says further that General
I rlbc-Urlbo's whereabouts are certainly
Known to the reprecntatlves of the In
eurgents here, but they cannot bo told as
jet. He predicts that within a tow dayB
all will know where tho general Is and
what he U doing.
According to letters received here today,
Itcspo -avers, Marroquln, tho Colombian vice
president who had previously overthrown
President Sau Clcmentr, has himself been
overthrown mid Imprisoned by the soldiers
of Qulntero CIderon. Itcspo predicts more
usurpations of power of thts sort, but bo
tl'inka that after a short fierce struggle

WASHINGTON, July 29. (Special Tele

reply to a letter from Scnntor J. H. Mil
lard, protesting against tho plain appear
ance of the rear elevation of the new post
office building in Omaha nnd asking that
the department make the two main sides,
Sixteenth and Seventeenth ltreots, conform,
snya that It will bo Impossible to comply

Ing would of necessity tako on by reason
oi tnu cnango in exterior Is wholly unneces
sary. The letter goes on to say that tho
present structure, even without the addi
tion which is now under way, Is wholly
adequato to accommodate all departments
of tho government, postofflcc, courts and
customs, nnd oven military, should it bo
decided to remove tho Department of tho
Missouri from Its present quarters in the
old postofflce building.
Mr. Taylor said today: "Omaha has been
well taken care of. It has a magnificent
postofllce building nnd 'to change tho stylo
of architecture would leave tho structuro
lu n most unsatisfactory condition. Wo
could not see our way clear to accept Sena
tor Millard's suggestion."
Trouble Over Trndershlp.
Thern is troublo over tho tradershlp on
the Omaha and Winnebago agency In Thurs
ton county. Not that this Is at all unusual,
for It has been quito tbo regular thing to
nave all sorts of troublo over this impor
tant place over slnco the agency wns estab
lished. In Colonel Deck's time, when ho
was agent under the Clevclnnd administra
tion, the tradershlp became almost a cause
of war between the republican and demo
cratic members of congress who repre
sented Nebraska In tho Fifty-third and
Fifty-fourth congresses. Finally a change
In the administration camo around, Mc
Klnley succeeding Cleveland, nnd tho Ash-
fords, who wero then traders, gavo wny to
tho O'Connors, Colonel Peck being followed
by Major Mathewson.
Now tho troublo grows out of tho Indian
office having renewed tho permit of tho
O'Connors to trade for another year. Sena
tor Millard has placed on fllo in tho In
dian office a letter protesting against the
removal of tho O'Connors lease, and tho
mutter rests there.
Commissioner Jones said today: 1 will
not removo a man from ofllco against whom
charged have not been preferred unless
I know personally hla unfitness for tho
place. Thero aro no charges against tho
O'Connor Uros., that I am awaro of. Thoy
are endorsed by Agent Mathowson, who Is
ono of tho best agents wo hnvo over had
at tho Omaha agency, and I can see no
good reason for tho confiscation of a
trader's property when ho is guilty of no
wrong."
Iintlnii Sol I at Onion,
nids wero opened today In the office of
Indian Commissioner Jones for tho con
struction of a brick schoolbutldlng and
frame hospital building nt tho Indian
school at Genoa, Nob., tho last Indian ap
propriation bill having appropriated $30,000
for tho erection of these two structures.
Andrew Kiowlt of Omnha Is on the surface
of tho bids the lowest, although ho is a
shade higher on tho hospital than contem
plated by the appropriation. It la believed
tho commissioner will recommend to the
Treasury department that tho two bids bo
lumped, in which ovent Klewlt will get tho
contract. His bid Is: School building, J22,
960; hospital. $5,390; total, $28,350. Other
bids were: James H. Owen, Minneapolis,
school building, $27,990; hospital. $7,990:
J. D. Hermann. Norfolk. Neb., divided his

school building of brick or rubble as follows:

steady and persistent showers that havo
provalled slnco Sunday morning that havo
brnught tho needod relief and Improved
