ESCAPED FROM JAIL.

EDWIN BECK AND ELWOOD COYLE
TOOK UNCEREMONIOUS LEAVE
OF SHERIFF FLINN'S ESTAB-
LISHMENT.
Two prisoners, Edward Beck, of viii
wington, and Elwood Coyle, of Ala
bama, who had almost a year yet to
serve, escaped from Jail last evening.
They were convicted of beating a
Chinaman and stealing the contents of
his money drawer, and were sentenced
to term Of two years.
During their Incarceration they have
been model prisoners, and have
caused but little trouble, although they
were suspected of being in touch with
a recent attempt to escape, and which
was foiled by the SON of Warden
Hance. The men had the freedom of
bhe corridor, and Coyle was employed
as assistant fireman, and had access to
the cellar at all times, as had Beck.
The men sawed the bars in the cellar
leading into the back yard of the iail.
and after having gained the yard and.
using a rope made from blankets which
had been placed in the cellar for the
purpose of being dried, escape was am
easy matter. The time chosen for the
work was at the change of watch. The
escape of the men was not discovered
until they had at least a half hours
start, and all attempts to catch them
have been fruitless. IL is thought thev
went to the West yard of the p. w
and B. railroad, where they boarded a
train.

the upper Yukon was named Lebarge
in 1865 after Mike Lebarge, a member
Of the exploring party. The board ad-
heres to the original Lebarge. In 1883
Camerden named one Of the lakes Of the
Yukon headwaters Lindeman, after DR..
Lindeman, now vice president Of the
Bremen Geographical society. This
sometimes appears as Linderman, but
the board adopts Lindeman. One Of
the principal tributaries of the upper
Yukon is the Lewes river. This is often
miscalled Lewis. The inlet river and
village at the head of Lynn canal,
which now appears almost daily under
the form Dyea. is an Indian word which
has appeared in many forms. Admiral
Meade, in 1869, wrote it Tyya. The
board adopts the form Taiya. For the
lake and river variously called Hoo
talinqua or Hotalinga the board adopts
Teslyn. An Indian village on the mid
die Yukon is called Nul1ulukayet. This
has been written in several forms, in

1 rina played us false at Pitt. Even be- | fore we left the ship all preparations had been made, for landing party. On the landing stage at Piti-which is really the port. of Agana, that place affording no protection to Shipping-we waited with what patience We might for the Spanish officials to end their con- sultation. Precisely twenty-five minutes had elapsed when the Spanish Cover nor and the three gentlemen who had taken part in his deliberations-the captain of the port, the doctor and Captain Duarte of the Spanish infan- try, the Governors secretary-came down the landing with a sealed letter addressed to Captain. Glass.
 Here a second surprise awaited the 'dons, for Lieutenant Braunersreuther promptly broke the seal and handed the communication to an interpreter. 1t was surrender, in due form without condition, of everything in the way of troops and military supplies on. the island of Guam.
 Lieutenant Braunersreuther compiet ed at 4 o'clock the work which he had so we'll begun in the morning. Talk Charleston, under command of Lieu tenant Myers, in four boats, he pro- ceeded once more to Pitt.
 The Spanish garrison, its two officers. Lieutenant Ramos and Lieutenant Ber- ruezo, of the Spanish naval infantry, with guns not loaded, lounged about the landing stage, and behind them the Chimorro militia was lined up

The work of disarmament, although pa thetic, was set about in businessiike fashion and was soon accomplished. Fifty-four Mauser rifles, all in good condition, and four Spanish flags were taken from the regulars and loaded into the boats. Fifty-four Remington rifles. also we'll kept, were taken from the mi -litia There were also 1000 rounds of ammunition. Then the militiamen were set at liberty, the Spanish regulars, lit tie more than boys, were loaded upon sampan with their officers and the Governor and all transferred on board the Sydney, which vessel had been called inside the bay to receive the prisoners. C.
 The guns and ammunition and flags were of course brought aboard the Charleston. It was, all in all, as neat a bit of work as was ever done in war

to the captains cabin, promptly told
 that they were prisoners of war and ordered to convey to the Governor of the Ladrones, Don Juan Marina, a. de- mand from Captain Glass on behalf of the United States Government that he should come on board. The gentle men returned to shore considerably more ,crestfallen than they had come, promising, however, that the Governor, who was at his country house nine miles away, would be on hand to meet the captain.
 The Governors secretary, Captain Duarte, and the Governors interpreter came back to the Charleston in the afternoon with letter from the Gov ernor This epistle forms a part of the official correspondence, but it was clear from what took place later that it's language was not at all satisfac- tory. The Spaniard was playing for delay. Captain Glass was in a hurry to proceed to Manila. He was not, therefore, in a humor to .accede to a request that he come on shore to ne- gotiate, Don Juan Marina's envoy hav- ing represented that the Spanish law would not permit that OIIlclal to come on board a foreign man-of-war. The captain of the port, under parole, went back to the landing at Pitt through the coral reefs protecting the low island of Apapa, and the interpreter was in structed to return to the Charleston early on Tuesday morning, June P.
 Early on Tuesday morning, in a small boat, Lieutenant Braunersreuther, En- sign Evans, the Spanish interpreter, myself and half dozen stalwart Jack les, all well armed, pulled away from the ship for the landing at Pitt. MT. Braunersreuther bore a letter from Captain Glass to Governor Marina, de- manding the surrender of the Ladrones without condition. He had been in structed to allow not more than thirty minutes for the consideration of the de- mand.
 In the meantime, out on: the fleet there was the greatest possible activity. Captain Glass had not sent his navi- gator ashore without support, and we saw later how completely we would have been avenged had Don Juan Ma

IN BOARD THE U. 5. ;. 4 CHARLESTON, HARBOR OF
 H H SAN LUIS DE APRA, Island of Guam, June 22.-Events fol- lowed each other in quick se- quence once the Charleston had headed up for the channel through the coral reef which makes San Luis de Apra the best harbor for all purposes | in the Middle Pacific.
 The Charleston steamed in up the harbor until, 5000 yards ahead, loomed the walls of the old fort of Santa Cruz, i built in 1908. It was impossible to tell | from the ship whether the place had
 guns or garrison, although some people, evidently native Chimorros, could be
 seen on a point, off the starboard bow, | jutting out in front of the town of Su- ! maie. It was behind this point the chart located the fort of San Luis, though no trace of it remains now.
 Thirteen shells from her forward g. pounders the Charleston sent shrieking across the calm water, shortening the range with each shot, but getting no returi- Fort Santa Cruz, as afterward appeared, must have been deserted by it's garrison and its armament removed at least ten years before.
 The Charleston ceased firing and En- sign Evans, with a boats crew which had been ordered to visit the Japanese vessel to make sure of it's identity. had just started from the ship when two boats were seen coming off through the reefs at the northern side of the bay, the foremost carrying the Spanish flag and evidently containing several off, cials. It was 9:30 when the Charleston opened fire on the fort. It was 10:30 when the Spanish officials came. on board, ignorant of the fact that war was waging between Spain and the United States and profuse in their apol- ogies that, their saluting battery being at Agana, they had been unable to re- turn the Charleston's salute.
 The visitors were the captain of the port, Lieutenant Commander Jose Gar cia Gutierrez of the Spanish navy and Dr. Jose Romero of the Spanish navy, port surgeon. They were taken below
