Reno county to investigate violation
Of the law, especially the prohibitory
law, in that county. Judge Martin IN
his instructions TO the jury a few days
ago was so severe on the joints that the
men who owned and operated them
deemed it good policy TO shake the
white sands of that city from tnelr
shoes for few days while the grand
jury was in session. They came here
and are having their ears close to the
ground to ascertain what is being done
The sentiment in Hutchinson Is very

A CLEARWATER BARN.

Orders the Team that Carried Him safe

Cared For--Outruns His Pursuers and
CooIIy Informs the Clearwater Livery
man that the Team Belongs to Geo. hill
of MuIvane Liveryman Reads the
Eagle and Tells Mr.. Hill TO Come and
Get His Team.
George Hill OF Mulvane recovered the
fire team of horses at Clearwater yes
terday with which Robert Freeman
made his escape.
Freeman was the man accused Of rob
bling store at Mulvane an account OF
whose escape was publishe in the Eagle
two days ago.
II has now been learned that Free
man went to Clearwater the same night
on which he made his escape and after
having eluded his persuers four miles
northwest of Haysville and drove his
painting team into livery table at
Clearwater and told the liverman that
the team belonged to Geo. Hill Of Null
vane.
Freeman ordered the team to be we'll
cared for stating that he would return
in little time and pay the bill. That
was the lat the liVerman saw OF free
man. Seeing an account OF Freeman
escape from Mulvane in the Eagle the
liverman notified Mr. Hill and ne went
to Clearwater and got his team yester-
day.
1t is supposed that Freeman left the
team as he did, so as 10 prevent a
charge of horse stealing being brougnt
against him in case he was captured
Nothing has been heard OF Freeman
since he left the livery stable IN GEAR
water, and il is now supposed that after
leaving the team at hte livery barn tha'
he took a train and left the country.
This whole transaction shows Bob
| Freeman To be a man of "A good deal of
nerve and a cool calculating fellow who

! now that he has had time 10 get well
out of the country.
Freeman had every reason to believe
! that Deputy Sheriff Grant Green and
I the crowd of farmers who were IN per

1 hind. But for all that he drove the
I spirited team of high bred horses into
l the livery barn at Clearwater as cody
as a farmer drives from his field where
| he has been at work 10 his dinner.
/ 1t was natural TO suppose that man

and ]. b. Barlow 10 Winfield last night.
They are the two young men charged
with rObhing the money drawer at the
railroad station at Arkansas city and
who were arrested here by Chief Mas

description furnished by the railroad
officials at Arkansas City.
4 reporter for the Eagle asked to SEQ
the two men before they left the city
prison and was shown 10 their cell. Bar
low was lying down On Il cot and Paul
Murphy was setting on Il chair facng
the door. When asked if he had any
thing to say for the Eagle. Murphy
made no reply but turned round in his
chair and looked at Barlow.
BARLOW got up from the cot and
paced back and forth in his cell ana
said what did the Eagle say about LIS
this morning. / suppose YOU made us
out very dangerous desperadoes. We
have asked 10 see the Eagle but the po-
lice refused to let us read II.
Barlow and Murphy both have au-
burn hair and blue eyes. Murphy is
rather slender while Barlow is heavy
set with broad forehead and more in
cined to Roman. They both appear
much more intelligent than the aver
age prisoner one sees in the city jail.
When talking Barlow looks the per
son with whom he COnVerSes square IN
the eyes and he has pleasant cOuntc-
nance. When asked 10 give an ac-
count of themselves. Barlow said:
We have employed Amidon * Con-
ley to defend us and l think they would

other reason that do not want To talk

disadvantage. The expectation that the
Government would maintain a courageous
front as long as defiance was possible, was
strengthened on May 8, when it was
learned China had asked that the date for
exchanging ratifcations should be deferred
ten days and had been sharply refused.
As it could not be doubted that China
acted at the instigation of the adverse
powers, this emphatic response in
dicated anything but disposition to
quail. So likewise did the decree
of the War Department on the same day,
summoning all the reserves in body for
active service and ordering the re-enforce-
ment of the garrisons in Yzo. While it ap-
peared incredible that Japan could dream
of joining issue with the three giants, it
was hoped that way had been discovered
TO ward off the impending danger until the
definite announcement of their purpose
could no longer be avoided, and that the
Government would keep bold counten-
ance while single chance of preserving
the conquests in Manchuria remained.
This illusion, after being cherished for two
days, was painfully dispelled. On May A
came the intelligence from Kioto that the
offer had been made by Count Ito to re-
linquish the whole of Manchuria, except
the southern portion of the Lao Tung
Peninsula, on which Talien and Port Ar
thur are situated. This was the first init
nation of the Ministry's resolve to yield.

EARTHQUAKES IN ITALY.

King Hum6ert Takes Active Measures
for Relief.
ROME, ITALY, May 21.-Severe earth
quake shocks were experienced yesterday
evening at Sopleto, town situated on a
hill about twenty-four miles north of
Rieti. Much damage has been done and
many houses were destroyed. Assistance
has been sent to Sopleto from Rieti, and
everything possible will be done torelieve
the sufferers. The damaged town has a
population of 1000.
The dispatches from Florence show that
the authorities there are doing everything
possible to repair the damage done by the
earthquake of Saturday. Troops have been
employed ever since the disaster succoring
the suffering in the neighboring towns and
villages, and the distress has consequently
been greatly lessened.
King Humbert has from the first, by his
special request, been kept informed re-
garding the extent of the disasters and the
measures OF relief, and has personally di-
rected the operations of the military au-
thorities. He is understood to have sub
scribed literally from his private purse for
the relief of the destitute.

ATTACKED BY SPANIARDS
During the Sharp Fighting
the Insurgents Are
Routed.
THE REVOLT NEARING AN END.
1t Is Said the Movement Lacks the
Support of the Better Glasses
Of CubanS.

HAVANA, CUBA, May 21.--An engage
fought to-day in Eastern Cuba, in which
Jose Marti, who was proclaimed President
of the revolutionary party, was killed and
his body positively identified. Colonel
Salcedo received positive information that
band of insurgents under the command
of the well-known leaders, Jose Marti,
Maxine Gomez, Masso and Barrero, had
taken up line of march to pass the river
Neuto in the direction of Victoria de Las
Tunas, with the design of marching upon
Puerto Principe. Colonel Salcedo dis
patched Colonel Sandoval with a detach-
ment of troops to march in pursuit of the
rebel band.
Colonel Sandoval found the enemy en-
camped at point between Bias and Boca
de Dos Rios, on the right side of the Con-
tecamaster River, small tributary of the
Cauto. The strip of land between the two
rivers is high, thus making it strong po-
sition.
Nevertheless Colonel Sandoval attacked
the camp and found his troops harassed by
scattering fire of single shots from cover.
The fight lasted for an hour in this man
ner, at the end of which time the Spanish
troops advanced and took the enemy's pe-
sition. dividing the insurgent forces on the
narrow strip of land by their advance and
compelling the rebels to fly. The Spanish
troops hotly pursued, and came upon the
body of Jose Marti, who was later posi-
lively identified.
Of the rebels twenty were killed and
many others were wounded and left in the
camp when they took flight. The Spanish
force took some correspondence of the
rebel leaders along with them, among
which are some important papers. The
arms and horses of the insurgents were
also taken. The Spaniards lost five killed
and seven wounded.
COLON, COLOMBIA, May 21.-According
to advices from reliable sources the insur-
rection in Cuba is rapidly falling. The
revolt, it is represented, lacks the support
of the better classes of Cubans; the
Spanish military commanders are succeed
ing in isolating the trouble to one district,
and the end of the uprising is expected
in few weeks. A band of insurgents pur-
sued by troops has burned the railroad
station at Maya and two stores near Songo.
