GEORGETOWN Demarara), Nov.
l9.-Latest advices from the contested
territory between Brazil and French
Guiana report that Vega Cabral the
uncrowned King and autocrat ruler Of
Counani. Carsevenne and Mapa, con-
tinues his open hostility toward all
French subjects. and has now num-
Der of them in captivity.
1t is now announced that Evariste.
who piloted the French gunboat Ben
goH to Amapa, and who, it was re-
ported, had been burned at the stake
by order of Cabral, did not die 1t ap-
pears that Cabral had given the order
for the man to be burned and he was
prepared for execution. He was tied
to stake, the wood about him was
lighted, and he became unconscious
from his torture. which gave rise to the
statement that he had perished 1t ap-
pears, however, that when he lost con-
sciousness, Cabral ordered the fire
quenched and that efforts be made to
restore Evariste. Their efforts were
finally successful, and Everiste was
| committed to prison.
The situation is considered most crit
1cal and the official as well as the pub
lie opinion is now that at all points of
the contested property the lives of the
French subjects Will be seriously i'm
periled if the Government does not
take resolute military steps to occupy
the whole of these regions, or to at least
break the power of CabraI.
Should the National Government at
Paris delay much longer to take the
necessary steps in this matter. the peo-
pie of Cayenne will themselves under

Cabral, and an expedition. the cost of

placed so that a stop had to be made
and the scoop removed. Twenty-Five
minutes were lost in this way. The
train arrived here at 5:0S p. m,
tWenty-three minutes behind schedule

The New York Central Railroad Com
pany decided to lop off twenty-five min
uteS from the running time of the EN-
pre- State Express between New
York and Buffalo, in order to MAIN
tain their claim for operating the fast
est regular train in the world. Recent
reductions in the schedule times of
trains between London and Edinburgh
have given England the claim of hav-
ing the fastest train in the world On
the east coast route from Kings Cross
to Edinburgh the run of 392l5 miles is
made in 400 minutes, an average speed
of 02.46 miles an hour. The New York
Central people therefore decided to cut
down their running time and make the
444 miles between New York and Buff
falo at the rate of 33l4 miles an hour,
and place America ahead for rapid
train service over long distance runs.

At various points we will have man
to do the work. subject to instructions
from the Division Superintendents, but
the more important work will be done

MURDER OF GEORGE MORRIS.
Belief That the Motive for the Crime
Was Robbery.


STOCKTON, Dec. 2-SheriH Yam
cey. who has the McReynolds trio,
charged with the murder of George
Morris, in custody, says that Ada Me
Reynolds is one of the most cold
blooded beings he ever met in his eXpe-
rience.
The Grand Jury is in session, and will
proceed at once to return indictments
against the McReynolds, in order that
the case may be brought to trial at the
present session of the Superior Court.
Those portions of Ada McReynoids
confession which charge Morris with
improper relations are discredited by
his friends and relations, who main
tain that it is only an attempt to cover
uo the motive of the robbery. There is
considerable excitement at Chinese
Camp, but nothing serious to the pr!S-
oners is appreherded, owing. TO the
preparations of the officers to bring the
case to a speedy trial.
