Carloads Of Ammunition Ready.

Chicago. Aug. SO.-The Times Herald
says:
Two undred Americans and three car
loads of ammunition are supposed.to leave
Chicago tomorrow night for Jacksonville,
Fla, there To board the steamer Soledad
for some point In Cuba. The date OF the
Soledad's departure is, according TO
Spanish reports. fixed for Thursday.
The Americans composing the Chicago
contingent are made up mostly of unem-
ployed. They have enlisted for II months
and are TO receive salary of SO a
month. On the event of Cuba receiving
her freedom from Spain each soldier is
promised a large tract of land and sum
of money.
Lieutenant Colonel Dominguez of the
New York .Iunta, is now in Chicago.
He comes as the agent of President Cis-
neros and Treasurer Benjamin Guerra.
He brought several thousand dollars with
him and has been using IL among those
who were found willing to join tho in
surgents. UNLESS spanish Consul. .tarnando
Stau al Giminez who will ask the Fed
eral Court for an injunction prohibiting
the moving OF tneso men and ammunl-
tinn, is sue cessful, the mon will meet to-
dav with knapsacks nud rifles ready to
join the forces of Gomez in the Pinar del
Rio district
Just exactly by what line the Cuban
soldiers Gre TO travel between this point
and Jacksonville is not known.
Inc Spanish consul. acting under
orders from Minister de LONE, who is
now at Lenox, Mass, has sent out a
notice to oil lines running south to the
following effect:
You aru hereby warned not to carry

hour last night the consul telegraphed TO
Minister dc LONE asking IL he should ap
ply TO United States District Attorney

On this question the consul is I'm doubt,
although he says Ii appears To him that
under the law he has the same right To

would where they were about To board u
ship az Jacksonville. At all events ~ Is
likely thar the matter will be brought to

Rev. DIR. Richard 5. Storrs, who is sum-
mering at Shelter Island Heights, was
asked yesterday concerning his resignation
OF tho presidency Of the American Board
OF Foreign Missions.
1T is not true - he said, THAT my resig-
nation has anything to do with the boards
being short of funds. That il is short is,
however, true The funds are entirely
supplied by tequests and gifts Some of
them take the form Of real estate. which
has deprecated during the hard times.
Investments which the beard made have
fallen in value. However, i am perfectly
satisfied with the work of the board dur
ing my presidency. We have done much.
Missions have been established in China,
Japan, Persia, the islands of the Pacific
and other places Our best work. i think.
has been done in Turkey. My reason for
resigning is that | think it is time was

AttlebOrO Officers Trap
DevrieS.
Further Development in the
SeekOnk Feud.
COrbett aud the Prisoner Met To-
day 10 Court.

The feud between the Corbett family
and the Armenian settlement which has
been in progress in Scekonk for the past
two months took new turn yesterday
when Attleboro officers visited and sur.
rounded tho home of the Armenians and
finally arrested one Of the participants
in former pitched BATHS on charge OF
assault with intent to kill.
Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff
Briggs, Officer Inman and William
Bingley of Attleboro accompanied by DIR.
Thurber went to the Seekonk settlement
for the purpose of arresting John Devries
on a charge of assault with intent to kill.
Devries resides with GirigiasArzamanian.
an Armenian and his wife is the woman
who. IL is said, held back crowd of
about dozen men. armed with stones
and clubs who had invaded the
Arzamanian domicile by displaying a re-
volver.
This same Devries is also the principal
witness in the case against John Corbett
accused of shooting Arzamanian. This
case Is to be heard in the Taunton court
one week from "Wednesday.
From the start of the feud he has been
pected some trouble as in some mysterious
way he had learned that a warrant had
been issued for his arrest.
When the deputy sheriff and his COM
panions went to the place yesterday morn
ing they found the house locked.
1t was considered advisable to await
the return of the occupants of the place
because If they learned of the visit of the
party there was probaDility,of1bl 1bloodshed
on the occasion of the second visit. Dur
ing the past there had, according TO all
reports been promiscuous display of
revolvers and numerous shots fireu. so
the deputy sheriff and his assistants
were 10th to take too many chances and
wanted TO do their work as quietly az
possible.
They secreted themselves in the woods
near the house AID their positions were
such as to enable them TO have a view Of
every side OF the building and the barn
and TO guard all approaches TO the place.
These mon waited from IL to 3 o'clock
and.then Officer Ininan was Obliged to
return TO Attleboro for patrol duty.
The remaining trio shifted about un-
easily but with dogged determination
watched for their man. IL was nearly 10
O'Clock, and they had about decided they
had been given the sliD when the noise or
an approaching team was heard. In n
few seconds carriage containing Girl
gals Arzamanian came into view.
DIR. Ihurber had previous acquaint-
anco with the Armenian, and after recog-
nizing him he stepped from his place of
concealment and spoke few words OF n
secret nature to the fellow Then he ad
viseu the man to enter the house. He
learned that Devries was coming along in
few minutes, ana after advising ARA
manian To go into the house and not to
give warning to his friend, he returned
TO tho bushes.
A couple of minutes later Devries came
along. He went TO the door and the
deputy sheriff was there about the same
time. ArZamanan, who saw this hap
peninR, yelled. LOOK out, they don &
want you" What he meant by that Pc
culiar expression has furnished the police
food for thought.
