In view of the killing of j. R. Hill of New
Jersey by United States soldiers, on the
10Th inst, and of other outrages charged 10
tie troops, Colonel E. NJ. Hyde, special
agent of the War Department. began an

testified 10 the rowdysm of the soldiers.
William E. Briefly saw the shooting OF
Hill. He ran from the State line west
of Chilocco and SO did Hill. The crowd
started on run because of the firing OF
two shots by the soldiers. They thought
it to be signal. Rev. d. Delong saw the
killing. 1t occurred at 1905 noon by his
watch, standard time. There were thou
sands of people ahead of Hill when he was
shot G. w. Vaughan and others testified

Victoria has an echo here. 1t is suggested
that the British fleet would be more
sstrengthened by the addition of large
number of fast cruisers with powerful
rams, and vessels Of type smaller and
less expensive than the monster battle
ships which seem to find so much favor
with British shipbuiiders.
In this country the reported increase in
the naval estimates has caused much dis
satisfaction among the Radicals and Lib
erals, who claim that Germany does not
need a strong navy or any addition to her
army.
= The ship building experts of Germany
have followed closely the criticism made
IN England upon tie British wsrship
which recently met with disaster, and the
German experts insist that the present type
of German warships is especially unsuited
to Germany. 1t Is more than likely that
the Government will meet with serious
opposition in carrying out Emperor Will
Hams project to increase the strength of the
German navy.
LONDON, Sept. 30.-Something of a SEN
saton has been caused by the announce
ment that boi!er-maker In Chatham
doekyard had been discovered filing holes
with red lead instead of rivets. II this
scamping of work has been practiced gen.
orally in the Guyerpment dockyards. it is
suggested that many of the leakings and
collapses of boilers in British warships are
easily explicabe. The newspapers declare
the culprit ought to be punished more ade-
quately than by mere dismissal.

SACRAMENTO. Sept. 30.--The Evening
Bee this afternoon published sensational
story OF the confessing by George Sontag.
the notorious train-robber. Sontag having
expressed his willingness to tell all he
knew, j. B. Hume, the Wells, Fargo &
Co. detective; Colonel j. B. Wright. Faii-,
road division superintendent. and stem
ographer went to the Folsom penitentiary
yesterday and the prisoner told the story
of his crimes in the presence Of the gen.
tiemen just named and Captain Aull,
warden of the prison.
Sontag's narrative is an extensive one,
making between 5000 and 10000 words.
He told of all the train-robberies in which
he and his brother John and Chris Evans
were implicated. including the Coils rob-
berry.
All the particulars were learned from
Sontag as to how the details were ar
ranged for the recent bold break OF the
prisoners at Folsom peniten tiary. It
proved the theory of the warden that
William Fredericks, the ex-convIct now
wanted for the killing of Sheriff Pascos of
Nevada County. had placed the arms and
ammunition where they could easily be
found by the prisoners at the proper time.

brother John is dead. The Evans family
has not treated old Mrs Sontag in very
cordial manner, and George doubtless
thought nothing was to be gained by
silence. But he is shrewd man, and
undoubtedly demanded that some sort ofs
promise Tor the hope of eventual liberty
be held out 10 him. In fact, it is UNDER
stood that he received a promise that in
return for his aid to the officers an inter-
cession for Communication of his life sem
tence would be made with Governor Mark
ham, but the men who heard the confess
sion refused TO tell the Bee reporter
whether this was so or not.
Railroad officials declined to give out the
complete details of the confession on the
ground that it would be Improper to do so
at the present time.
The confession Of George Sontag will be
used against Chris Evans in the trial soon
