of dissatisfaction was the publication of the
efforts being made by the United States for
the peaceful settlement of existing interna-
tional differences and the garbled hIisrepre-
sentation of the note written by Secretary
Gresham to the Japanese minister of for
eign affairs.
1t is alleged that that note was purposely
misquoted by enemies of the administra-
ton. ana that the japanese minister is sus-
pected of having allowed newspaper men
to see the note. 1t Is not even intimated
that he was in any way responsible for the
distortion of the message. His error, If the
report Is true. consisted of allowing 1t to
be seen by outside parties. The Japanese
minister is a man of high honor and great
ability, and is not believed to have been
guilty of such a grave diplomatic dis
courtesy. His recall at this particular time,
when there Is special need of the services of
an experienced diplomat to represent his
country at Washington, is mainly respon-
sible for the circulation of the story given

WHAT CAPT. EvAky SAYS.
he Goes Where Ordered and Does
What Is Ordered

What IL Ordered
Capt. Robley D. Evans, the present naval
secretary Of the light house board, who
was recently ord cred by Secretary Herbert
TO the command Of the New York, the
finest ship in the navy, has returned to
Washir gton from q short rest at Old Point
Comfort
When questioned as to his new detail.
capt. Evans said that it was a very great
surprise to him. as he yet had two and a
half years of shore duty to his credit. Two
years ago he was In command Of the Bering
sea heet. which was q most unplea SAINT
duty, and he had hoped to be permitted to
serve out his term OF shore duty with hts
wife and children. He certainly had not
asked for the command of the New York
and to his knowledge the only one who
knew of the proposed action was Secretary
Herbert himself.
The ceptain, who is one of the youngest
or his rank in the sci vice, appreciates the
compliment Of being ordered to the COM
mand of one of the finest ships afioat,
though 1t was not sought or desired. Capt
Evans said he went where he was ordered
did what he was ordered and when he had
no orders he did what he thought was right
under the circumstances. He will leave
washington on August 10, and assume COM
mand of the New York on August 20. The
New York Will be the flagship of Admiral
Meade.

Arrest Of the Men Suspected of the
Tarsney Assault.
COLORADO'S ADJUTANT GENERAL
The Story Of the Plot and the
Active Agents.
G r E A E CITE MEN T

DENVER, Col, July 28-Six men have
been arrested for completely in the tarring
and feathering Of Adjutant General Tars-
ney at Colorado Springs-three in this city
and three at the springs-and more arrests
are to follow. The prisoners here are John
A. Reagan, who was turnkey at the jail at
Colorado Springs on the night the outrage
was committed; his brother, Michael Rea-
gen, and ex-deputy sheriff of Ell Paso coun-
ty, and shorty! Allen. alias Thomas Cor
den, who was one of Sheriff Bowers army
of deputies in the Bull Hill warfare.
Allen is said to be the man who poked the
gun in Gen. Tarsney's face at the Alamo
Hotel and applied the tar and feathers TO
his person. Three men arrested at Colorado
Springs are J. ]. Mullin, son Of a wealthy
Boston mine owner and prominent society
man; Herman Rebbeke, who was a deputy
sheriff during the Cripple Creek trouble.
and Eugene Kinney, one OF the hack driv-
ers who took the party of masked men with
Gen. Tarsney to Austin Bluff.
1t is said Chief of Police Armstrong of
this city has succeeded in unravelins the
plot against Tarsney through revelations
made by ex-Deputy Sheriff Parker of FL
Paso county. According to his story, the
plot was arranged in the ante room of the
Jail. and under Sheriff Bob Mullins. leader
of the Cripple Creek force of deputies. was
the guiding spirit. j. b. Mullins, Parker
says, furnished money and Rebbek bought
the tar and feathers. Parker is sure the
money changed hands in the presence of
I rnkey Regan.
'arker saw Bob Mullins J. ]. Mullins,
Shorty Allen. Herman Rebbek and a depu-
ty named Wilson get into q hack and drive
toward the Alamo Hotel. 1t is alleged that
Regan has said Sheriff Bowers turned a
prisoner charged with murder out of Jail
to participate in the outrage.
Under Sheriff Mullins went on a trip to
Michigan and Wilson Ohio when the
grand jury convened. but they have been
located, and 1t is said their capture is GER
tain.
Excitement is very high at Colorado
Springs over the arrests, and the Denver
detectives who made them have been threat
ened with similar treatment to that given
Gen. Tarsney. Their prisoners were taken
away from them by Sheriff Bowers and re-
leased on bail.

CABIN JOHN LAND.
n Bill Allowing SaIe OF Property
Passed the Senate.

n Bill Allowing Sale OF Property
Passed the Senate.
Mr.. Hunton this afternoon called up from
the Senate calendar Senate bill 211S. au-
thorizing the sale of title of the United
States to a tract of land in Montgomery
county, Md, to VIM. II. and George Bob
niger. This bill was reported favorably
from the District committee. 1t provides
for the sale of the small tract of land
which has for many years been used by
the proprietors of the hotel at Cabin John
in the belief that they owned it. From a
survey recently made it has been ascer
tanned that this tract is in reality a por-
ton of the land acquired by the govern
ment for the Washington aqueduct.s The
owners of the hotel have improved the
tract, and the bill merely authorizes its
sale to them if in the opinion of the Sec
retary of War the said sale will in no wise
be detrimental to the Washington aque-
duct, Col. Elliot, in cnarge of the aque-
duct, said in a report the bill: Il do
not suppose that any one now living knows
how the encroachment happened to be
made but 1 am satisfied it was done in
ignorance of the boundary line of the
United States land and without any wrong
intent
The bill! was passed withou. any objec-
tiOU.

ments Passed by the Senate.

ton by the Senate today on Senate bill
22f, to prohibit the interment of bodies in

cent OF the gross amount of the sales, to-
gether with reasonable attorneys fees and
other expenses incurred IN the enforcement

The Committees Report.
The District committee in its report on
the bill stated:
THE land within the limits of the GEM
etery consists of about thirty acres, sit
uated at the intersection of Maryland ave-
nue. Fl street northeast and 18th street
northeast, and Immediately adJoins the
city limits; was conveyed to the associa-
tion, and is held by it in fee except such
lots as have been conveyed to lot owners
The burials that have been made have been
on the southern side of the cemetery and
near Benning read In the immediate
neighborhood of the cemetery there is a
large and rapidly increasing population,
who have made objection to the continued
maintenance or the place as a cemetery
and burials there, on the yround of the in
jury and danger thereby caused to the
health of the Inhabitants. The drainage
from. the. cemetery Is toward the south and
toward numerous houses that depend upon
wells for their water supply. Numerous
cases of sickness in that vicinity have been
occGsioned by impure water, as appears
from the communication and petitions
oompanying the report of the Commission
ers."
