If Ti baldos succeeds in winning over the fleet as It Is rumored he will ,lt la feared he will bo In a position to carry out his threats. Meanwhile an element in the military league which Is opposed to the revolt has Issued a proclamation denouncing Tibaldos aa a traitor who broke hi oath to the league. This afternoon a regiment of Infantry and a battery of field guns were sent to Skaramanga, on the coat a few miles west of Athena and opposite Leros, the point on the Island of Salamla where Tibaldos' men are entrenched- It is now Bald that Tibaldos has gained the support of the entire torpedo flotilla of eight ships and threatena to employ these in sinking the rest of the fleet. As Tibaldos holds th arsenal and ammunition depots, the vessels In the possession of the governmen are without ammunition and have not been mobilized. It Is feared that the ships thus far loyal may Join the revolt particularly since the military league la now hostile to the revolt In the navy. U. P.

TELLS OF SEEING FIFTH BANDIT Hans; Aronnd School Itefore Robbery Occurred and Waa Seen with Others Whom School Teacher Posi tively Identifies. A drama within a drarna Is being enaotec in the federal court room, where the five men charged with the Overland Limited train robbery are on trial. The inner play la the effort of certain ' members of tho South Omaha police force to minimize the part taken by tho Brown Park schoolboys In the discovery of the bandits. Those who think they ran see such activity on the part of the police at tribute It to the sordid motive of desire for ' the money prizes hung up for the capture and conviction of the bandits. Nor Is this all. Members of the police force are at odds among themselves, too, and Jealousy toward one another has cropped out. On the surface yosterday was a day of activity with respect to Hill Matthews and even that atolcal person was visibly per turbed when Miss Elizabeth Hayes, prin cipal of the Brown Park school, identified mm as naving neen seen twice cy ner in the Immediate neighborhood of the Vchool building a day or two prior to the Over land Limited mall robbery. Matthews Much In ' Evidence. Miss Mayes saw him once with Torgen- son near the school house, and they were apparently scanning It closely. She again w Matthews come up to the school house alone and again he seamed to have a peculiar Interest In the building. Miss Hayes watched him closely on both the occasions of his visit, from the window of the building and is positive of his identity. This evidence so closely linking Matthews with the robbery was a surprise to the at torneys' for the defense, and Matthews was himself deeply and visibly interested In her recital. It was the first time during the trial that he haa seemd to take more than a parsing interest In the proceedings. Fully aa Important as waa her Identifi cation of aMtthews was the further testi mony of Miss Hayes that during the four or five days preceding the robbery at Mud Cut May 22, ahe had seen Woods, Torgn on, Orlgware and Shelton prowling about the Brown Park school building six or ten times. She has seen them bo fre quently thtre that she had no hesitancy In Identifying themimmedlatcly after their ar rest, and also in the court room. Miss Hayes Murked Revolvers. Her testimony was straightforward and direct, and all of the men under arrest watched her with the keenest Interest dur ing the hour and a half she was on the stand. She told further of the several articles recovered by the school children In the hol low near the school, and how gho markM ana closely examined all of them and took the numbers of the two revolvers that had been turnedx over to her, Including the overalls, flash light, hnts, ' handkerchiefs and cartridges, and which sho subsequently turned oyer to Probation Officer McCauley by whom' they wero turned over to the South Omaha police officers. She told an Interesting story of finding the cinder footprints In the school build ing leading from the basement, which re sulted in the discovery of the seven mall Backs in the attic of the school and also of the discovery of the three rain coats, pair of overalls anil a ploce of rope in the attic, by herself end Janitor Vavia. Miss Hayes had taken tho precaution to mark all of these articles and identified them by the tie marks. When one of the rain coats was held up for Miss Hayes to ex amine more closely. Woods turned and whispered to aMtthews. Miss Hayes was subjected to a rigid cross examination by both Mr. Macfarland and Mr. Fleharty, attorneys for the defendants, but her testimony was not shaken in the slightest degreo. ( Sooth Omaha Pollea Jealoaa. There have been some Indications that the officers who made the arrest of Woods, Torgeuon and Grlgware are trying to mini mize the part that the school boys took In the discovery of the men prowling about the school building and adjacent hollow the night of May 27. One of the Jurors asked permission of the court to ask a question of Captain Turnqucst, who testified In the forenoon that he had arrested Woods about 11 i o'clock or a little after and Intimated that no one was around when he made the arrest. The Juror asked Captain Turn quist: 'Why did you go down there Is no body was there?" e Turnquest replied: "Because I got a call that a policeman was wanted In that neighborhood." Probation Oflcer E. S. McCauley testl fled briefly as to receiving the recovered loot of the aliened bandits from Miss Hays. Officer David W. Mawhinney of the South Omaha police force told of his participation In the arrest of the thre men and Insisted that It was he alone who arrested Woods, before he aaw Turnquist. He also testified that there were several boys about there when Woods was arrested. Later he took Woods up to the South Omaha Jail where he turned him over to the Jailor, as he had been directed to do by Captain Turnqulxt. Detective Eck Klsfelder of South Omaha told of the an est of Torgenson and Grlg ware. Ho made the arrest according to his statement a'uout the time that Cap tain Turnquiat came up out of the hollow, both making the arrest of the two men practically together. Mawhinney had had intunwhllo gone up to the Jail with Woods. Did !ot ere TnrnuaUt. The remainder of his evidence leUted to the searching of the accused men at tha South Omaha Jail.
