THE MEN AND THE HORSES
Foundation for an International Row With the
Republic OF Ncxco

Republic OF Texico
SAN DIEGO, April 5.--The case of the
three Americans, Joseph C. S. Carter,
william Carney and D. A. Moore, who
were arrested during the latter part OF
Janary by Mexican officials on the charge
of smuggling horses over the border, and
we've imprisoned at Ensenada seems
from all accounts to be in a more unset
tied state than ever.
W. ". Bowers, representative from the
Seventh congressional district. brought
the matter before the state de-
partment. with the result that the men,
after examination, were ordered released.
their stock re turned to them, and they
lett to use their own discretion about re-
turning to United States territory with
their possessions.
There the matter was supposed to have
ended, so far as the governments OF both
countries was concerned, and official Cor
respondence between United States Vice
Consul Godbe, Assistant Secretary OF
State Uhl. ". W. Bowers and NJ. koge-
rothe, Miniter of Mexico, would seem to
bear out that suppositlon.
The men, however, give an entirely
different version of the result of their
trial, stating that they were still viz
tualy prisoners, their stock still withheld
from them, themselves forbidden to quit
Mexican soil. They claim that local
officials are using discretionary powers
not warranted by government orders,
and ask that the state department give the
case immediate consideration.

Bandits

HENNESSY. o. T., April part of
the posse in pursuit of the bandits who
robbed the Rock Island train near Dover,
Wednesday night came upon the gang
thirty five miles west OF Henuessy. at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. A fight en-
sued, in which one of the robbers was
killed, and two others wounded. AS soon
as the robbers we're sighted the deputies
jumped from their horses and used them
as breastworks, while the robbers made an
attempt tu resist. Two of their horses
were shot from under them, and one man
was killed. Another was badly hit, but
he too succeeded in getting away.
The marshals gave chase to the outlaws
and finally cornered them in a bunch of
timber about two miles from the scene of
the battle A waiting game is being
played as the outlaws must have food and
water. The dead man was brought to
Hennessy at Ii last night and has been
positively identified as Dick Ycager alias
Gyp Wyatt, on whose head there is an
aggregate reward OF over $50Q0 including
$1,000 offered yesterday for each OF the rob-

THE CARSON MINT STEAL
Shortage Now Aggregates One Hundred
Thousand
r1elter Who Has Been Spending $500 and
5000 Month Under Suspicion.
Arrests Looked For

CARSON, New, A pril 5.-Su perinten-
dent Mason, OF the Government assay
office in New York, has been in full
charge of the mint-scandal Investigation
here for two weeks. He has already dis
covered shortages that approximate $780,
900, and all the suspected melts have not
yet been examined. The town is full of
secret service detectives, under control of
Agent Grant OF Chicago. and they are
shadowing officials and learning the his
tory of their recent eXtravagant habits.
None of those suspected can escape. The
grea test steal yet discovered in one melt
was unearthed by Superintendent Mason
a few days ago. He found that one run
of melt which purported to contain 2200
ounces-half gold, half silver-had but
forty ounces of gold. The shortage on
this fraudulent melt. therefore was about
$22, 900.
The principal man under suspicion is
Assistant Melter and Refiner John Jones,
who has been in Office under Hirsch Har
ris and who came to him as a hold-over
from the Harrison administration. The
detectives are at work on Jones record,
and they claim to have discovered that
he has been spending $500 to 5000 month
on an income Of $125. He was first ssus,,
pected by Hirsch Harris. Harris relied
largely on Jones, the practical man in the
department, but grew very suspicious
when bars that ought to have come out
with q large percentage of gold were re-
turned nearly pure silver. He reported
the shortage to Ex-Governor Jewett Ad.
ans, superintendent of the mint. The
shortage was Immediately reported to r.
e. Preston, superintendent OF the mint at
Washington, and Expert Assayer Mason
was forthwith dispatched here to investi-
gate. The crimes were committed by the
substitution of bars, and it is known that
the frauds extend over period of five or
six years.

was read. The prisoner remained silent
throughout the proceedings. he was
then taken to Bow street. He was not
arraigned in the police court. as at first
stated, but was placed in the dock in the
police station. Here he stood with his
hands in his pockets while the charge
against him was being taken. A police
inspector then read the charge aloud
and asked Wilde if he had anything to
say, adding the usual warning that any
thing he said might be used against him.
The prisoner remained silent and appar-
emily indifferent.
He was then searched, after which he
was locked in a cell. Shortly after he had
been locked up one of his friends arrived
in a carriage at the station. with Glad
