Especial 10 The Herald,

POCATELLO, Ida, July 25.-Ad-
dttional evidence OF the thorough
manner in which both the settlers
and the Indians in the Jackson's Hole
valley are preparing for battle con-
tinue to arrive every day. Ike Hill,
the We'll known travelling man of the
Shnms Grocery company, of Salt
Lake, was in Pocatello last night,
having come directly here from a
trip through the very portion of the
country south Of the Yellowstone
National park, in which the bush
Whacker's campaign is being carried
on between the barricaded settlers
and the ambushed Indians. Mr.. Hill,
after careful inquiry, learned that
there are seventy-five heads of fami-
lies in the Jackson's Hole valley. For
two weeks they have, with rare fore
sight, been preparing for the conflict
that now exists. In order to forestall
the Indians, messengers were sent to
buy up all the ammunition that could
be obtained in that section of the
country and so we'll have they sue
ceeded in laying in q good stock be-
fore the passes were watched by the
red men that they have now on hand
about loo rifles and every settler is
equipped with 1000 rounds of am
munition. The fear is now expressed
that when the Indians learn that the
troops are surely coming they may
endeavor TO make a sudden strike and
then make all haste for their reser-
vations, so that by the time the
regulars get here they will be peace
ably lounging in their accustomed
haunts.
Troops cannot reach the besieged
settlers before Monday. Jackson's
Hole is blockaded by the Indians.
Four hundred Lenhis have Joined the
Bannocks.

The Important Point.

WASHINGTON. July 25.-The reported
firing on the Carrie f. Lane, an Ameri-
can schooner, by a Spanish cruiser off
the Cuban coast, has not been reported
officially TO the state department, and i'll
the absence of any definite statement of
the act the officials decline to express an
opinion on the subject.
in this ca Sc is the exact location of the
Lane when she was signalled to stop.
The captains statement is that it was
off Cape Antonio, but he does not say
whether or not he was in the three mile
limit. If he was not he could not claim
exemption from q demand TO establish
his identity, as was contended by Sec
rotary Gresham in the Alla1ca case, for
his was not a vessel following q regular
route, but one cruising from port to port
in the West Indies In view of the fact
that several filibustering expeditions
have succeeded in landing in Cuba from
the coast of Jamaica and other of the
West Indian islands, officials here are
not surprised that the Spanish COM
mander should exercise every precaution
to make sure of the innocent purpose of
any small sailing craft seen lowering
about the Cuban coasts, and it is felt
that this particular commander acted
within his rights if he fired a shot across
the Lanes bow If she failed to stop when
signalled in regular form. The small size
and appearance Of the schooner, it is
said, was against her and calculated to
excite suspicion as TO her object.

BULLS NOT IMMORAL.
MAY BE IMPORTED INTO THE
UNITED STATES.
If There is Any State Law Against
Bull Fighting, it May BE En-
forced, Says the Secretary.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The treasury
department has declined to entertain the
protest made by the vice -president of the
Humane society against the. admission
into this country of bulls and toreadors
from Mexico tor bull fighting eXhioiIioas
at the Atlanta exposition. The society
asks that the bulls pc excluded on the
ground that they were immoral instru-
ments and the toreadors that their adnis-
sion would violate the contract labor law.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, in reply,
cites section TO- of the act OF Aug. %,
1894, prohibiting importation. of ANY OBJ
scene book. pamphlet, drawing, painting,
instrument or any other article of i'm
moral nature" etc. The letter then pro-
ceeds: Il have to inform YOU that the
department is unable to perceive that the
Importation Of bulls for the purpose ind-
Gated comes within the letter or spirit Of
the prohibition, contained in The provi-
sion of the law quoted and there
fore declines to Issue the desired jnstIuc-
lions. 'If as stated the exhibition of bull
nghting is prohibited by the laws of
Georgia, it is presumed that the authori-
ties OF that state will prevent 1t, but the
subject does not appear to come within
the Jurisdiction OF the department.

WILL NOT GET IT.
PENSION TO PRINCESS KAIULANI
Is REFUSED.
Did Not Propose to Give Her Four
Thousand Dollars Year and En-
courage Her 10 Overthrow the
Existing Government.

San FRANCISCO, July 25.-The
steamer City of Pekin arrived today
from China and Japan via Honolulu
bringing the following advices:
HONOLULU. July 1S.-Princess Kaiu-
LAM will not get her pension. This
was practically decided on the 18th
inst, when the senate referred all pen
sions and permanent settlements to
the regular session. The item was
$4,000 per annum, to commence with
April last. When the matter was dis
cussed in the senate McQuandless
made a long argument against the
passage of the measure. In his opin-
ion $4,000 given to Kaiulani was $4,000
paid out to assist in the overthrow of
the government, and to support his
position he cited the action and ex-
pressions of haiuleni and her guar
dian and their evident desire for a
restoration OF the monarchy.
Ministers Hatch and Smith made
strong arguments in favor of the item
on the ground that IL was a moral
debt which the country owed. Smith
hoped the time world come when the
legisla ture representing the intelligence
Of the community would vote an al
lowance to Liliuokalani. Minister
Smiths remarks about the queen are
construed TO mean that she Will soon

JAPS MOVED DOWN.
CHOLERA CARRIES OFF VERY
MANY VICTIMS.
piseaseI Taken to Japan By the
.4orce, That Returned From the
War in China and Corea.

SAN FRANCISCO July 25.-Cholera IS
raging in japan and nearly every pre-
vince in the little empire reports
heavy death rate from the disease. The
officers and passengers Of the City OF
Picking tell tales Of deaths from cholera.
in the streets of cities where the steamer
called. From the outbreak OF the dis
ease until the date the steamer sailed
from Yokohama, 1,1SS deaths had been
reported. The disease was brought to
japan by the forces returning from the
war in China and Corea. and whenever
a. regiment was sent home and disbanded.
cases Of cholera began to develop. and
the disease spread with such rapidity.
that the physicians Of the district were
unable to keep it IN check. Military
ouarantines were established and all
regiments returning were held until all
traces of the disease were stamped out
In spite of such precautions, and the
united efforts of the quarantine officers
and civil physicians, the plague became
81 prevalent that all the way fron 50 TO
100 deaths a day are reported
from IL. and as many more are said TO
occur that never reach the ears OF the
authorities.

DAVENPORT, Ia, July 25.-Tears
came TO Mrs. Smythes eyes when she
read a. dispatch from Chicago last
night stating a body had been found
in the Holmes building at Sixty-third
and Wallace streets, which was sup
posed TO be that Of her grandchild,
Pearl Conner. The poor child. The
poor child" she sobbed out Then
picking Up an evening paper. she ex-
hope in the printed lines: "Oh. sure it
was only bones they found. and how
could they tell whether they were my
grandchild's or not? The papers say
nothing about q. body"
Mrs. Smythe has at last succeeded
in finding the letters of H. II.
Holmes to herself, written at the time
when the murderer had either slain
or was plotting the killing of Mrs.
Julia L. Conner and her daughter
Pearl. In the first letter, dated Octo-
Der 81, 1892, Holmes shows consum-
mate skill in effacing himself from
anything in connection with himself.
He inventS law suit in which his in
tereStS are involved and claims he
wants Mrs. Connor as a witness who
would prove valuable To him. His
connection with the law i'll Chicago
was mostly with regard TO judgments
for small amounts. and yet he writes
to Mrs. Smythe of a case in which
$4,000 depended on her daughters tes-
timony. Possibly while disposiTzg Of
his victims body he wrote to Mrs.
Smytne. Holmes had never seen
either Mr.. or Mrs. Smythe, yet he
writes to the latter for the first time
in his life and opens his letter in an
innocent strain of inquiry. 1t was just
like an ordinary business letter.
Holmes asks a simple question: VIII
you kindly communicate with MIS-.
Conner and say TO her from me that
it is absolutely necessary for us to-
hear from her with regard 10 the suit
in which she is interested as a, wit
ness"
This was the first intimation to Mrs
Smythe that her daughter had disap-
peared and the first line she ever re-
ceived from Holmes. The aTch-mur-
derer used the letter paper OF the fic-
titious Campbell-YateS company, at
Nos. .01-703 Sixty-third street, Chicago,
and dates his letter October 81, 1892.

UNIVERSAL SATISFACTION.
Everybody Glad That Troops Have
Been Ordered Out.

CHEYENNE, Wy, July 25.-The
news that government troops have
been ordered to the front was received
with universal satisfaction. Governor
Richards at once wired General

erty, and return the Indians to their

centration of different bands of In

An Omaha Record.

OMAHA, July 25.-H. II. Holmes,
swindIer and murderer, has an Omaha
record. The officers here claim to have
positive evidence that Holmes was in
Omaha in 1881 for a short time and was
here again in 1893 for several months.
in the employ of the Elkhorn railroad
as q special officer. At that time he
went under the name of H. H. Howard,
and Howard Nudge, both of which
aliases he has used at other places.
The Omaha police thought at that time
that Holmes, or Howard, as he was
known to them, was implicated with
the Headspeth train robbing gang
which suspicion led to his discharge
by the railroad com pany. The fact
that Hedspeth was responsible in Civ
ing Holmes record TO the police lent
some color TO the opinion. but his con-
nection with the gang could never be
clearly established

PHILADELPHIA. July 25.-District
Attorney Graham positively announced
that H. H. Holmes will be tried in this
city for the murder OF Benjamin F.

In view of the fact that the district
attorney has said Holmes would be

conviction. Information as to whether
