SOLD JEWELRY TO HIMSELF.
Daring Frauds of an Agent That Cause
the Failure of New York
Dealer

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 24.-The
police are looking for Charles Querin, who
was an agent of the Eagle Jewelry Com
pany, of which Frank PoIlatchek was the
proprietor. Mr.. Pollatchek, who made an
assignm ent for the benefit of his creditors
last Wednesday, says that his financial
collapse followed the discovery that Quer-
in had by means of bogus checks defrauded
him in the last few months of $1,000.
Querin has not been seen since last
Monday.
Pollatchek said last evening that he had
employed Querin several months ago, and
had given to him large quantities of dla-
mond jewelry on memorandum. The new
agent made surprisingly quick sales, and
every week gave his employer a check for
the amount be was supposed to have COL
lected. Querin's check was returned
stamped 'no funds" last week, and then
he disappeared.
Then Pollatchek began an investigation.
He went in search of some of the persons
to whom he supposed Querin had sold
goods, and was surprised to find that no
such persons had ever lived at the ad-
dresses given. Then it was, according to
the story of Mr.. Pollatchek, that the man
ner of the operations of the agent were
disclosed 10 him.
For months Querin had been industri-
ously selling iewelry to himself, making
out forged bills of sale and keeping up the
small weekly payments. Pollatchek found
that the agent had disposed of $22, 900
worth Of iewelry to himself, paying $1,000.
When he finally took his departure he had
about $14, 900 worth and also about $4,000
worth more on memorandum, of which he
had made no returns whatever. 1t was
the discovery of these alleged populations
which forced Pollatchek to make an
assignment He expects shortly to re-
sumo business.

CHOOSE THE SIMPLER METHOD
Fishtraps Along the Island to Be
Removed on Orders From
Washington.

ASTORIA, Or. April M.-Lieutenant
Stranb of the Fifth Artillery, United
States army, took possession of Sand
Island yesterday with detail of eighteen
men, and drove the Washington militia,
which has been in possession for the past
ten days guarding fish traps, off the
Island. The militiamen are accused of in
timidating fishermen, and protecting
Washington State trapmen who placed
traps in the open channel of the Columbia
River, contrary to the directions of the
United States engineers, at the same time
occupying the Sand Island Government
reserve, within the original State line of
Oregon off the island. The Oregon au-
thorities were very conservative, simply
directing the attention of the Federal
Government to the acts of the Washing.
ton militia under the open direction of
Governor McGraw.
United States engineers made hasty re-
survey of Sand Island to be sure it con-
formed to the old lines. The post COM
mandant at Fort Candy was directed to
clear Sand Island of Washington militia,
ia ke possession. permit no one to approach
the island nearer than low-water mark.
The officer, to be polite, delivered to the
militia officer in charge orders to eyacuate.
The militia officer refused until he had
consulted his superiors. When the COM
mandant of the post had this reported to
him he sent officers back with an order for
the militia to prepare to leave within
twenty minptes, or they would be thrown
off. This hurried the militia and in a few
hours they were back to the Washington
shore. Lieutenant Straub, with detail,
took possession and is now in charge
1t is reported on good authority, but not
officially substantiated, that orders have
been given to have all traps along Sand
Island removed

BAKERSFIELD STRIFE.
Repeated Arrest of a Liquor Dealer at the
Instance of the Law and Order
Society.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, April 24.-For
some time determined warfare has been
waged here against dives by an organiza-
tion of citizens. For short time last year
all the disorderly places were closed, owing
to the efforts of this organization, and no.
torious "Big Bertha" who kept the most
disreputable house, was driven from town.
Several months ago, however, two places
were opened. Last week, after a hard
fight, the Supervisors revoked their
licenses and both were closed. One is said
to belong to San Francisco brewer1es and
is run by one Holmes. After being closed
for one night he reopened the place. He
was arrested, but persisted in keeping
open. Last night two attachments were
filed for debts due here and the place was
closed.
San Francisco breweries are repre- sented
here by r. G. Morrison, and he conducts
place where bottled beer is sold. The lead
ers of the Law and Order Society ascer-
tanned on Tuesday that he had no license,
and accordingly on Wednesday Rev. ]. w.
Phillips, Congregational minister and
leader in the purity movement, swore out
a warrant and had Morrison arrested He
gave bonds but refused to get license.
On Thursday he was rearrested, gave
bonds and continued to defy the law. To-
day another warrant was sworn out. This
will be kept up every day until he either
shuts up his place or takes out license.
He claims that the breweries directed him
not to take out license, and threatens to
retaliate by having the Law and Order So
ciety leaders arrested tor malicious prose-
cution.

General Weyler Carrying Out His

HAVANA, CUBA. April 24-Oficial ad-
vices received here state that Colonel AL
dea, while in pursuit of parties of rebels,
encountered several bands of tn EN- on the
Carmen estate, near Sabanilla, in the
province OF Matanzas. The Insurgents
were fleeing from an attack which had
been made upon them by the Rey column.
The troops charged upon the rebels on all
sides, forcing them to take refuge in the
cane fields, which were burning fercely,
and many of them perished in the flames
which they themselves had started.
The troops continued in pursuit OF the
fleeing rebels, killing many of them.
Twenty-.hree dead insurgents were left
behind, and it is believed more than that
number perished in the cane fields Others
than Government authorities assert that
the affair was similar to many others
which have occurred wherein unarmed
men were killed. The official report say
the troops had one man killed and one
wounded.
Colonel Francis reports that the rebels
fired upon the rear guard of his line near
Mariel, but retreated as soon as the troops
returned the fire. Captain Medina Lajas
with force of guerilias, together with the
forces of Vlzcaya, dislodged the enemy
from the estate of Estrella, near Cienfue-
gos, of which the Spanish took possession.
The rebels lost twelve killed and the troops
lost one wounded.

is still held in prison here pending the de-

upon his conviction and sentence last De-
Gem Der, to life imprisonment in the mines

General Weyler is satisfied that nothing
in the line of intervention or recognition
OF belligerency may be looked for from
Washington, at least for the present, and
the public executions of prisoners of war
which were suspended for time have been
resumed. There is supposed to be gen.
eral understanding among commanders of
Spanish columns that no prisoners are to
be taken in engagements in the field.
All Cuban patriots who fall into the
hands of the troops through being
wounded, or some other reason, are liable
to be shot at once and counted with the
number killed in battle. Some of the
Spanish commanders act according to this
understanding, but others decline to slay
unarmed and wounded men and deliver
their prisoners to General Weyler in
Havana. Many of these so-called pris-
oners of war never carried gun or en-
gagged in battle, but we're taken from plan-
tations or small towns or hamlets in the
interior where the Spaniards assume that
all men are rebels, and are not far from
being right. The prisoners are brought to
Havana, bound and strongly guarded to

HAZELTON, Pa. April 24-An excit-
ing shooting affray occurred at White
Haven this morning, when posse of citi-
fleeing from Mauch Chunk. Shortly after
midnight five men gained an entrance to
the East Mauch Chunk postoffice. They
blew open the safe with dynamite. The
noise aroused the citizens, and the robbers
were chased away before they secured any
plunder, and they boarded Jersey Cen
tral freight train.
Chief of Police Transnue of White Ha-
ven was notified, and collecting posse he
tagged the train. The robbers were dis
covered in one of the cars and answered
the summons to surrender with their re-
volvers.
One of the robbers dashed for the door
and was mistaken by companion tor an
officer and was shot in the hip. He
tum bled out on the track followed by
another man, who was struck by deputy
with his gun. The fellow ran and was
shot. He went over the embankment and
disappeared in the river and it is believed
was drowned.
Blood stains on the tracks show that he
was wounded. Another memper of the
gang was captured by another deputy and
the others escaped during the excitement.
The two men in custody to-day refused
to give their names or say where they
came from. No papers were found on
them, but quantity of dynamite, fuse.
