SAN DIEGO. Cal. March 23.-The in
vestigation of the robbery of big gold
bar and gold coin at Ensenada took a
sensational turn to-day when Allan Pratt
aud James T.. Garratt were arrested there
charged with the crime. They are beng
held on suspicion, but the arrest of Gar
raft. who was not known to have been
suspected, indicates that the authorities
have a clue, which may result in the con-
vic;ion of the guilty parties. Allan Pratt
has for SIX years served Manuel Riveroll
as cashier and confidential clerk, and was
in full possession of the secrets of the
firm, knowing also the combination of the
safe. He is young EnglIshman and his
reputation has been the very best. James
Z. CARAT is a young Canadian, and for
some time was clerk for the International
company a. Ensenada. Both men are

23.-John J.. Waller, formerly United
States consul al Tamatavc, Madagascar,
has been found guilty of corresponding
with the Hovas after n trial by the French
court martial and sentenced to 20 years
imprisonment. On April 20, 1891, Mr..
Waller secur ed n concession from the
Hovas government of the whole northern
part of the Islands of Madagascar, in spite
of the repeated protests of the French resi-
dents aud the French colony generally.
According to the French pioneer colonists
all the natIonalities are engaged in the
India rubber trade and they considered
that their vested interests had been IN
jured by the concession to Waller. France
hitherto has claimed a protectorate over
the Is and of Madagascar and Great Brit
ain has recognized il. But the native gov
ernment of Madagascar repudiates the
French claim to proteciorate and France
is now sending TO Madagascar a large ex-
pedition TO subiue the IL vas.

saying: Il, is time for the great Amer!-

not conceive by what authority n French
court martial attempted to assert juris-
diction over an American citizen not ac-
lively engaged in hostilites against them.
As to the charge against Waller that he
has been in correspondence with Hovas,
officials here assert he has a perfect right
to do SO. Moreover. they fail TO see why
Waller should not be given the benefit of
a fair trial by civil courts. The United

pointment practieed in Topeka. He was
prominent in politics, being an elector
for President Harrison in 1888. He is
spoken of highly as man we'll read in
the law and of good habits. He had the
best of application papers when he was
appointed by President Harrison, consul
at Tamatave in February, 1891. He held
the office until the arrival of his successor,

this afternoon that tho conservatives and

Prince Bismarck's name as n rallying cry

result of the reichstag vote was instantly

tense annoyance can be judged by the
following telegram, which he Immediately
penned TO Bismarck:
II have to convey to your highness
an expression of my most pro ound
indignation at the resolutions
which tho reichstag has just adopted. 1t
is in the most complete opposition to the

BOHEMIAN, March 23--A courier arrived
in Bozeman early this morning from East
Flathead, about 80 miles from Bozeman,
with Information of shooting affair in
which Dave Humphrey, a prominent
ranchman of that section, was the victim
of the most dastardly outrage perpetrated
in this section for many years. Last even
ing Humphrey heard his dog barking and
upon going to the door to speak to him,
he was shot in the stomach by some uu-
known person, and after six hours of
awful agony died at / o'clock this morn
ing. Before he died he was asked il he
had any idea who shot him, and he said;
II am a dead man aud Joe Cole did it,"
Last fall Humphreys stepdaughter. who
married Cole, ran away with a bachelor
living on the adjoining ranch, by name of
John J.. Giesey, leaving three children.
Mrs. Cole has since returned TO her nus
band and Giesey is again on hIs ranch
near by and it is thought that some new
phase of this old trouble was the cause of
the shooting. DR.. Safely left this morning
early to attend Humphrey, who was
alive when the courier left for Bozeman
last nj ght. Upon the doctors return this
evening ID was learned that about half an
hour before Humphrey was shot as
Giesey, his hired man, and Joseph Kopp,
a Bozeman butcher, were sitting at the
supper table, some one shot through the
window at Giesey, the bullet striking him
in the cheek only grazing 1t. but tearing
about half of his nose off. The hired man
blew out the light and upon going out
they found where some one had jumped
the fence and gone down the road toward
Humphreys. They went back into the
house and knew nothing of Humphrey
being shot until this morning. Sheriff
Caldwell. Deputy James f. Keown and
County Attorney Halloway left Bozeman
early this forenoon for the scene OF the
shooting but had not returned late this
evening. 1t is believed by some in Boze-
man that the shooting was not done by
Cole but Humphrey before his death
stated that Giesey had also been shot b.
Cole which being SO, makes it appear as
IL Humphrey had some idea that this
might happen. Humphrey leaves a wife
and two children.
