OF IOWA URGED TO OFFER A REWARD GoTtrnor Likely U Put a Prioe on tbe Murdtreri of th Turning, BURLINGTON RUNS INTO UNION DEPOT All Roads Are Preparing; to Rob Spe cial Trains to Car for the Heavy Traffle Dnrlnaj State Fair Week. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 24. (Special.) Gov ernor Cummins has returned from an out ing at the lakes In northern Iowa and Is being urged to offer a reward for the arrest of persons connected with the Tuman mur der In Muscatine county. The case Is beginning to attract a great deal of at tention tn eastern Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Tuman were murdered at their home in the country, about six miles from Musca tine, and It la now believed the motive was robbery. Tuman and his wife lived In a lonely cabin by the riverside and when the bodies were found there was nothing In the cabin of value, but neighbors knew that they had possessed some valuable pearls only a few days before the murder. These pearls were worth not less than (1,000, and they cannot now be accounted for. A number of different persons have been arrested, but it is believed the right one has not been found. It was known that Tuman had planned to sell the pearls and go to Nebraska and buy a farm, but It la not known that he did sell them. A man named Dan Williams who lived near and has not been seen since Is strongly suspected of the murder. The governor will probably offer a reward unless something turns up new In the case In a few days. Democratic Convention Called.

GENERAL PINZON IS BROKEN DOWN War Vessel Purchased hy Colombian Government n I'nlted States Bo comes I'nseaworthy- at Very Critical Time. ' WILLEMSTAD. Aug. 14. News has reached here from Veneiuela that In conse quence of the reoccupatlon of the port of Carupano, Bermudes, by a government force the blockade at that place has been termi nated. Topeka has left La Gusyra tor Haytl. Tbe departure ot Topeka from Venezuelan wat ers Is taken to prove that the United Statea minister at Caracas, Mr. Bowen, believes that the final result of the Matos revolution ary movement will be delayed. KINGSTON, Aug. 24. Details ot the cap ture of the Colombian gun boat Boyaca by the Insurgents outside of Panama have reached here. Boyaca was captured August 1, by the insurgent gun boat Padllla, after a short and unequal fight. It had on board nearly 200 soldiers under command of Gen erals Ferrero and Enao, who were to re inforce. General Morales Berti at Agua Dulce. Boyaca also carried several colonels. a supply ot ammunition and a considerable sum of money. An American gunner named Rose, who was serving on board Boyaca declined to sail on Its last and fatal expedition. Boyaca Now at Panama: Flying the Insurgent flag, Boyaca is now guarding the entrance to Panama harbor, presumably with the intention of prevent ing steamers or other vessels from bring ing government reinforcements to Panama. Nothing definite la known on the Isthmus of the situation of General Morales Berti at Agua Dulce, but many persons believe that the general after withstanding a siege of several days, during which his forces were subjected, chiefly at night, to a severe ar artillery fire from the Insurgents, perceived the hopelessness ot rscelving reinforce ments and supplies from Panama and was forced to surrender the troops of his com mand to the Insurgents. The Insurgent forces In the Agua Dulce district are said to number between 2,000 and 8,000. Associated with General Berti in the defense ot Agua Dulce was General Castro, who gained notoriety at the previous battle of Agua Dulce. Herrera Haa Colossal Task. If the reported surrender of the govern ment forces at Agua Dulce Is true, the Insurgent general, Herrera, is confronted by a big problem to provide food and shel ter for and to control thla large and hos tile element Owing to the fact that tho government line of communication between Panama and Agua Dulce Is broken but lit tle news reaches Panama from the seat ot war, although the contending forces are Ouly tnv Uoji' bitMC-h tlvSk tut-piC6. Rumors are current that several detach ments of Insurgents have been seen at various stations on the railroad line be tween Colon and Panama, and attack at either end of the line is expected, in some quarters, to occur at any time. Because of the presence of tho Insurgents on the railway, the government is anxloua to ob-. tain reinforcements aa soon as possible. Fresh trouble la aald to ba brewing in the interior, and owing to the refusal of th steamship companies to carry troops, the bringing of reinforcements la no easy matter. Plnson Useless. The government's vessel. General Fin- con, arrived at Cartagena a ' week ago from Colon. It Is now said to be Impos sible tor General Pinzon to again go to sea in its present condition. Important parts of its machinery have been com pletely ruined. Pinzon was formerly the American yacht Namouna. It waa bought by the Colombian government and entered its service lsst summer. Government officials In the Isthmus as sert that the newly acquired government cruiser Cartagena will shortly bring troops to the Isthmus. In other quarters it is said Cartagena Is not at Savanna, but baa gone to Santa Marta, whence it will proceed to Trinidad, in connection with the detention there of Llbertador, which has been in the service of the Matoso revolution against President Castro of Venezuela. Tho Colombian government recognizes the revolutionary situation to be serious. Many persons question the ability of the insurgents to hold Colon if they attack and capture that port, owing to the fact that they possess no gunboats on the At lantic aide. Tho government is endeavor ing - to purchase atfother war vessel ; In the United States for use on the Pacific coast There is at present no foreign man-of-war at Colon. DEATH RECORD.

After working four yeara for enough money to send back home in Italy and get the girl to whom he was engaged, reports the New York Post. Lulgl Burglo now finds that, be baa got to go to court and fight the United States government for permission for her to land. ' Burglo aent tba girl enough money for her to buy her wedding finery and a seo- ocd-class cabin ticket to -New York. But the girl determined to sacrifice a few things snd took steerage. Here is where their troublea began. ... j On arrival at Ellis island In July Maria waa held up by the doctors on the regis try Una and sent to. the hospital for ob servation, owing to ye trouble, - which eventually developed into trachoma, a dis ease for which hundreds of immigrants are deported every year. The edict finally went forth that the, girl must go back. Tbe spe cial Inquiry board ordered her deported on the doctor's report, and she waa to have returned to. Italy on a ahip sailing this week.' But Burglo, securing the services t a notary public, drew up a marriage con tract between himself .and the girl, which, when signed and acknowledged, constituted a legal marriage under the laws 'of New York state. ' Armed with this document, Burglo applied for a writ of habeas corpus for his 'Wife, whom he claimed waa made an American citizen by the marriage, and is now being Illegally detained by the Im migration authorities. Washington advised the local authorities thst under the United States Immigration ststute the woman was not within, the country when the marriage was entered into and abe must not be al lowed to land. If permission should be granted in her eaae. It was said, it would pave tbe path tor almost unlimited oppor tunitlea to evade tho immigration law.
