BAD BILL AGAIN.
Tries to Liberate Prisoners at Fort
Smith, Ark.


Smith, Ark.
FORT SMITH, Ark, July 26-Cher-
okee Bill got his hands on another re-
volver today and used it in an attempt
to liberate prisoners confined il muir
derers' row of the United States Jail
His attempt was bold one and resuS
ted in the death of Larry Heating, the
Oldest guard on the force.
Night Guards Tom Parker and
Larry Heating had just gone on duty
and Turkeys Eoff and Mcconnell
were engaged in locking IN. On ac-
count of the hot weather and the long
days the prisoners were allowed to
remain in the corridor until nearly Z
o'clock. When running insthe prison
ers, all retired to their cells and the
two upper floors were run in without
incident on murderers' row. After
the brake had been thrown, Eoff went
in to lock the cells, while Mcconnell
remained at the door. When Eoff
reached the cell next to Cherokee
Bits, he found the keyhole plugged
and while he was trying to clean il
out Cherokee Bill came to the door
and fired, shooting Heating through
the stomach. He ran to the end of the
corridor and fell dead. EOff ran back
to the corridor on the east side of the
cells and Mcconnell Parker and sew
eral deputy marshals ran in and
opened fire on Cherokee Bill whenever
he tried to leave his cell. His ammu-
milton was nearly exhausted and he
agreed to surrender his pistol to
Henry Starr, which was done. The
pistol with which he did the work was
a pearl handle IL calibre. How he got
it is a mystery, but Josie Brown. his
sister. who has been here several DAYS
and visited him twice, has been ar
rested for it and is now in the county
jail. The murdered guard was very
popular and many threats of lynching
have been made, though the citizens.
who were terribly excited, are now be-
coming cooler. None of the prisoners
left their cells. except Bill. and he i'm
mediately jumped back into it, and
the guards have everything in order.
though there is much confusion among
the prisoners.
Crawford Goldsby, alias Cherokee
Bill, alias Gorilla, is only 10, but has
been convicted of train robbery and
murder.
One murder case is pending in the
supreme Court of the United States.
and the charge of killing his brother
inlay IS still on the docket here.

WHY 1T WAS REFUSED.
French Government Did Not Want
The Facts Known.

the Facts known.
WASHINGTON. July 2e.-rhe officials
of the state department are at present
anxiously awaiting Information from Am
bassador Eustis as 10 the manner in
which the second demand for the record
OF the Waller court martial, which was
held in Tamative, has been received in
France. It is now learned definitely that
the French government refuses TO furnish
the record on the trst presentation of
the request and that this refusal was
met on the part OF the state department
by moro positive and pressing demand
for all the papers The lei artment is
Informed by Mr.. EIISti5 that this demand
has been presented There has been quite
sufficient time for an answer, but none
has been received. The course of the
French in their refusal tC supply the
record is most unusual and as no ex-
PLANTATION was Youchsafed, the Depart
ment is at a loss to know On what ground
il is based.
The supposition is gaining ground that
Frances refusal tn furnish the record is
due TO a desire not TO give publicity to
revelations made IN the letters from Wal
Ter, which were Intercepted by the French
authorities concerning the misconduct of
some of the French soldiers In letters
which have been received here from Wal
Ter within the last Jew days. he reveals
the fact that in his letters to his wife
he informed her OF 9arious outrages COM
nlitted on the native women of Tamative,

these proceedings as to reflect on the
French soldiery il Madagascar in way
which the French authorities might not
desire to see published to the world. Their.
is good reason for believing that in case
of a second refusal by France to comply
with the record, a third denanc will be
made and more reremptOry. The state
department authorities consider the case
as one of Importance because liable to
develop some very delicate and intricate
questions before shall be finally dis
posed of. It is known that Secretary
Gresham took this view of il and it is
believed that while he has not had oc-
casion TO go into The details TO the ax-
tent that his predecessor did, Mr. Olney
feels that it is d matter of gravity.

Sympathy of All Reputable

NEW YORK, July 26.-The Cuban
patriots new have q national head
quarters in New York. In the past
the headquarters of the revolutionary
party in this country has not been a
settled one. The Fifth Avenue hotel,
where General Rafael de Quesada
lives, was one favorite gathering place.
After the election OF Senior Palma as
national delegate, his home at Central
Valley was a mecca Tor the faithful.
Then Senior Palma came to the city
and made his headquarters at the
Hotel America. Last night new and
permanent headquarters were opened
at No. 66 Broadway. This 1t to be Dele
gate Palma's office. The headquarters
are a suite of four rooms, and a COM
petent CORDS of clerks and stenograph-
ers will be kept at work all the time.
General Quesada and his secretary will
also have headquarters here When
Senior Palma was seen at his head
quarters he said:
The opening of headquarters is no
infraction of the neutrality laws. We
are not carrying on any intrigue, en-
listing men or raising money. The idea
is to systema tie the work and give it
an air of business. There is such an en-
ormous amount Of cores ondence and
also so many inquiries to be answered
it is better to have some known head
Quarters. The war is now On in Cuba
fairly. The island is in an uproar

all we can with our moral support
..Then, too. we want the world to
know that this is not a guerilla war
fare, ard that the Cuban insurgents
have the sympathy of reputable people
in the United States. The prospect of
the Cuban provisional government be-
ing recognized after few more vic
tories are won is excellent, and We
want to make a straightforward show

eyade or break the laws
