AN UNF0UNDED RUMOR.

That Which Was Started In Relation to
the Island OF San Domingo.
F. S. Samuels. director Of the SANTANA
Bay Company, in speaking to a CALL re-
porter yesterday In reference to the rumor
that the port SANTANA Bay in the western
part of the island of San Domingo had been
coded to the United States aud that the
cessiOn had been confirmed, said: There
can be no legitimate foundation for such a
rumor. You must first consider the fact
that il there had been any negotiations be-
tween the San Domingo and United States
Governments Secretary of State Blaine
would have had the handlingof them Now
that he has resigned from the Cabinet, If
any negotiations of that nature had been
pending they would have been suspended.
The simple fact of his resignation would
have ended negotiations.
THE members of the SANTANA Bay Com
pany, who are all American citizens, have
been endeavoring to have the State Depart
ment of this country take action In regard
to having the company reinstated in the
possession Of rights to the peninsula and
bay of SANTANA, which the company pur-

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
Preliminary Hearing of the Leaders of

Preliminary Hearing of the Leaders of
the Revolutionary Movement.
BY the steamer Monowa, which arrived
yesterday, we have the following Associated
Press advices from Honolulu to June q:
Nothing could tend more to prove the
ability of the Government to maintain the
autonomy OF the Hawaiian Kingdom than
the complete control which has been shown
OF political affairs during the past few
weeks. The State prisoners, consisting of
some 20 people altogether. and which in
clude the acknowledged leaders and agita-
tors, Volney V. Ashford and Robert W.Wil-
cox, have had preliminary hearing, the re-
suit of which, as far as the prosecution is
concerned, shows that there Is sufficient evil
denee to warrant the commitment of the
prisoners for jury trial. The penalty for
treason in this country is DEATH for con-
spiracy Imprisonment at hard labor for not
more than 10 years and fine not to exceed
$1,000. The evidence adduced has been very
damaging. The leaders will probably be
expatriated. Ashford is a British subject
and his interests are being closely looked
after by the British commissioner.
The Legislature was opened May 30 by
the Queen in person. The Queen delivered

Hold Ups. Express Looting. Etc.


The Daltons were second cousins of the
noted James boys who defied the law IN
Missouri for so many years, and through
them were related to the Youngers, who are
now serving life terms of imprisonment in
the penitentiary of Minnesota. Bob Dalton
was the first of the boys to enter upon ca
reer of crime. While he was scarcely more
than boy he became a cattle thief, and did
thriving business driving of cattle from
the herds on the Cherokee strip, and taking
them across the Indian territory into Color
ado, where he would sell them. He was
joined soon after he entered the business by
his brother, Grafton Dalton. Their depredR-
tions became SO frequent and troublesome
that tho cattle men Organized to drive them
from the strip. posse of cowboys was
formed for that purpose, and gave the Dali
tons hard chase, finally losing them in the
6ilds of New Mexico. The next heard of the
Daltons was in California, where they took
to train and stage robblng. While robbing
the stage there one of the passengers was
killed in the attack. This spurred the officers
on to extraordinary efforts to effect the cap
ture of the gang, and Graf Dalton was final
ly captured. While being taken to place
for safe-keeping, he was rescued by the 9TH
or members of his gang, the whole party d
nally escaping after being chased out of Cal
ifornia and through good part of Arizona.
In the spring of 1889 the gang turned up
again in the Indian territory, and when Okla
hOma was opened to settlement the Dalton
boys secured a choice claim for their mother
near HennesSy, where she still lives, sup
ported by one of her sons. At the time of
the opening Bob Dalton was United States
deputy marshal, being selected en- account of
his peculiar fitness TO deal with desperate
characters. After the opening he returned
to his life of outlawry, and he and Graf were
then joined by their brother Emmett, the
youngest of the brothers. They were at that
time also joined by Texas Jack, and they
soon gathered about them several desperate
characters.

of them, but two more citizens lost their
lives. Only one of the robbers escaped, the
one who had been left holding the horses.

Big FREIGHT Business.

CHICAGO, October 5.-Chairman Midgely,
of the Western Freight association, reports
that the southwe Missouri river roads
are doing an enormous east bound business.
During the month of September the ship
ments of cattle from Kansas City amounted
to about 5000 car loads, the heaviest move
ment ever known in a single month. The
the same PERIOD amounted to upwards of
1O, 900 car loads. All roads were crowded
with business that they were cramped for
cars with which to fill their orders, and it
was largely due to this state of affairs that
east bound freight rates from the Missouri
rIYar continue steady.
