Spain to be Held Resp onsIble.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.--The State
Department mas taken steps to have a
thorough investigation made of the
circumstances surrounding the killing
of Charles Gown, a young American
accompanying the Cuban revolution
ary army in the capacity of cores
pondent for a Florida newspaper.
Atfidavits procured by counsel for the
family of Gown 60 to show that while
he was with a force of rebels under
Major Valencia at Corredas, near Ha.
vana, last July, a strong force of
Spanish troops was encountered, and
Gown, who was unarmed. and, it is
asserted, was a non comratant, sur.
rendered to the Spanish colonel. It
is alleged that although be was sup
piled with an American passport and
papers to establish ais newspaper con-
nection, he was executed on the day
following his capture, without an op.
portunity to- claim and exercise his
rights under treaty as an American
citizen. Consul General Lee will en-
deavor to ascertain all OF the facts as
the basis for further action by the
State Department directly through
Minister Taylor, but the work is nee
essarily slow, as is the case in many
of such affairs, because of the great
difficulty experienced in securing re-
ports of the facts when the killing oc'
ours outside of the larger towns.

never had anything to dowith Mix
sons purchases. He then told about
Scruggs informing him of what he
had discovered in Cincinnati. He
and Mixson went to the Governor and
told him. They saw the boy after.
wards and he confessed. After that
the Governor told me he had told
Tiilmap and he thought Mixson ought
to resign. I told Mixson and he said
he would resign whenever the Cover
nor wanted. The Governor after
wards told me that he had ad-
vised Mixson not to resign. never
saw anything to implicate Mixson.
When all the facts were fresh In my
mind 1 never saw any circumstance
that would indicate that he had done
wrong. Twas willing to fad any
thing. but didn't know where else TO
to 20. Governor Evans told me that
Mixson's boy was trying TO make a
deal with whiskey h uses. Hubbsll
told Tillman and I told Mixson not to
let him have anything to do with
them.
Mr. Williams asked Mr.. Tompkins
as q member Of the Board of Control,
why the Governor wanted Mixson 8
resignation.
The reply was the only thing the
Governor said to him was that he
wanted him 10 resign on account OF
his boys. The Governor asked was
there really anything for the board to
consult about it2 Mr.. Tompkins said
he had signed some revocations of dis.
tilling license. He said he never would
sign paper to license distillers. Gov
ernor Evans then went on to say there
were few meetings of the board and
all that was done was perfunctory.
Mr.. Tompkins asked whether it was
necessary to call the board together to
take away Columbia's profit. Cover
nor Evans then said that the profits
had been taken away before he came
in Office. Governor Evans and Secre-
tary of State then had lengthy col
loquy about the responsibility of each
for acts af the board, which had moth
ing to do with the investigation and
after time the chairman called them
TO Order.
In reply to Mr.. Barber he said he
knew nothing of any commissions ex-
cept as to Mixson's boys.
Chairman Jones asked if Colonel
Tompkins had ever heard anythin, ,
rejecting on the presen board.
Mr.. Tompkins: Oh, yes. I've
heard talk. Uaughter.) -
ACTION DEFERRED. I
There being no further witnesses the
board went into executive session at
$50. After several hours session,
they announced that all action had
been deferred until the next regular
meeting in October.

A VIGOROUS PROTEST.
To Which the Sublime Porte was Con.
strained to Yield

CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 1-Mr. J.
W. Riddle, secretary and in the alb.
sence of Minister Terrell, charge
d'affairs of the United States legation.
has made a vigorous protest to the
porte against the action of the Turk
ish governor of Bitlis, in ordering
the immediate arrest of Messrs
Cole and Knapp, American mission.
aries at that place, and accompanied
the protest with threat to sever diplo-
matte relations with the porte unless
the order of the governor was revoked.
Mr.. Riddles protest was Endorsed by
Sir Phillip Currie, British ambassador.
The porte yielded to the protest and
gave instructions to the governor Of
Bitlis to permit Mr.. Knapp, who has
been ordered to come to Constantinope
to answer charges, preferred by the
Turkish authorities, of sedition and
murder, to remain in Bitlis and await
a better condition of the roads, which
are now unfit for travel. The governor
was instructed iS the case of Mr.. Cole
to allow that gentleman to act as he
pleases, and to perform missionary
work generally without hindrance. IT
is regarded as likely here that the
action of the governor of Bitlis was
designed to test the American pulse.
An encyclical from the Armenian
patriarch was read in all the Armenian
churches on March 80 announcing the
amount of relief which had been given
the Armenian sufferers in Asia Minor

DAMNING EVIDENCE
Against Arson strong. the Alleged Muir
derer of the stone Family.

AKRON, o., March 31.-Ansou Strong.
the alleged murderer of the Stone
family, was arraigned before Mayor
Harper at eight o'clock to- night. He
pleaded not guilty. He was repre-
scented by no attorney and made a
lengthy statement privately to Mayor
Harper.
The mob which collected about the
Jail this evening is still in evidence and
its numbers are undiminished. Every
one seems to have the impression that
they are there to square accounts with
Strong, but no one has attempted to
lead the crowd in a business-like move
ment on the jail.
Up to this evening the evidence
gathered by Detectives Dunn and
Mintz points very strongly to Strong
as the murderer of the Stones.
On visiting the home of Strongs sis
ter in Ravenna, Dunn searched the
Ravenna house and found an overcoat
and pair of trousers which had been
recently washed. The officer took
them to Akron where, upon close ex-
animation, the stains of blood were
very plain on both garments.
Hattie Stone told Officer Dunn to-
day that she is quite positive that the
assassin not only wore black mask
but also black beard. When cap
tured, Strong's face was clean shaver
except for mustache and faint traces
of burnsides. Up to Friday, however,
Strong wore heavy black beard.
Evidence is at hand showing that
Strong was seen in the railroad yards
at Kent shortly after dark Saturday
night, and the belief is that he was
there to secure a coupling pin with
which to commit the murders
The whole chain of evidence points
to this conclusion: Strong left Ra.
VIENNA Saturday night, going by train
to Kent. Saturday night he stole q
horse from a farmer, committed the
Stone murders, rode rapidly back to
Kent on the horse and took a freight
train back to Ravenna Sunday morn
ing.
Between midnight and one o'clock
Sunday morning terrific rainstorm
prevailed in the city of Tallmadge.
which may account for the soaking of
the garments worn by Strong and
found at his sisters house in Ravenna

Broke His Irons.

George Pierce was the center of an
other episode at the federal jail, Fort
Smith. recently. Ever since he and
Cherokee Bill made a murderous at
tempt TO break Jail, Pierce has been
kept in irons in his cell, but succeeded
the second time in breaking his
shackles. He rubbed them along the
edge of his iron cot until he wore the
chain in two. He refused to come out
of the cell after he broke the irons. and
two guards entered the cell and after a
sharp fight. overpowered him. Pierce
now occupies the cell where the death
watch was kept over Cherokee Bill. 1t
is better lighted and guarded. He is
one of three to hang April 80.

Five hundred rebels first attacked the
vanguard Of the government force,
and later 400 men attacked the rear
guard which was then reinforced.
Another attack was then made on
the vanguard and left flank, and the
troops were compelled to form a square

used in the attempt to hold the rebels
in check, but without avail. After a
hot fight, the troops were compelled to
retreat. They lost many killed and
wounded.
Throughout the fight and during the
retreat of the troops, the insurgents
used their machetes with deadly eff
feet. The greater part of the convoy
| fell into the hands, of the rebels.
Many oxen that were destined for the
use of the troops. were killed by the
extreme heat With the convoy were
7. sick and wounded Spanish soldiers.

GREER COUNTY.
Damaging and Misleading Statements
Corrected.

WASHINGTON, April Attorney
General Harmon says the dispa tch
about the action of the supreme court
of Oklahoma in reference to Greer
county is inaccurate in many details
and misleading. The supreme court
of Oklahoma, acting upon suggestions
from Washington, declined TO recog-
nize Greer county as an organized
county from the fact that it was not
organized. 1t was necessary that the
county should be under some iurisdic-
ton. The act creating Oklahoma into
a territory conferred upon the supreme
court the power to act as it has. in at
taching Greer county for judicial pur-
poses to Oklahoma county. even If
that county was 500 miles away. 1t
was the nearest county to which it
could be attached
Greer county will be organized, Mr..
Harmon says, as rapidly as possible
and provided with county officers and
courts, and then it will be detached
from its present alignment To do
this, however, will require some time.
Attorney General Harmon further saws
the report that there 20 are muir
derers awaiting trial in Greer county
does that county an injustice. There
are but three cases awaiting trial and
only one OF them is for capital Of
Tense.
