Black Grenadines rather
have the call in Silken Dress

He Told How He Found Out Where Shaw Was, and How He Was
 Taken Without Resistance.
SHAW IS VERY MUCH
 OBJECTED AND SICK.
It Is Not Known When the Prisoner Will Be Executed, as Several Le- gal Points Must Be Settled
 Beforehand.

Gleburne, Tex, Aug. 23.-John B. Shaw, who escaped from the jail here just three days before he was to have been hanged for murder, is again be- hind the bars of the same jail He was brought here Sunday by several off eers from Malakof, Henderson county, near where he was arrested.
 Fully 2o00 people were at the depot when the train reached the depot and fully 1000 marched with the officers from the depot to the jail
 Among the officers who accompanied Shaw to the city was his eaptor, Deputy Sheriff Walter Anthony, who lives at Malakoff He said:
 "A section hand came across the Trim ity bridge to my house about goo yards from the bridge and informed me that q suspicious character was coming that way. l went to the bridge and waited, soon Shaw appeared and I halted him. He at first sid his name was Chambers, but afterwards admitted that he was the man l wanted. He was completely Jagged out and said he had trave.ed 20 miles from away over OH Riehland creek. He had no pistol or other arms and said he did not want any as be did not want to Kill any one. | immediate ly took him to Malakoff and from there to Athens.
 Shaw told the story of his ezclne and of his lodging the officers since he left the jail. He denied that anyone assist ed him out of jail, and said he had lived since his escape principally upon chick en he had stolen from farmhouses.
 As the train neared CIeburne Shaw seemed almost overcome. He has been sick for two days, and it was sad to see his face contract with the effects of the terrible feelings which were swelling up in his breast. When he saw the 2000 people on the depot platform he smiled and said they were very curious.
 He was placed i'll jail at midnight. He was very week and the officers furnished him medicine to stimulate him. He said he had @ presentiment from the first that he would never get away and he seemed sadder and more dejected than he had ever been.
 Shaw's ol l mother, who has stuck to him all trough the trial as only mott- CT can, broze down and wept when she heard of the capture of her son and hs.s now lost all hope of saving him, as the governor has refused to commute his sentence.
 It is not known when the execution twill take place, as there is a legal ques- ton or two that must be settled by Judge Hall or Governor Culberson. It is thought it will be about Friday or at tho outside Friday week

SAMPSON WILL STILL
 RETAIN COMMAND.
His Appointment as One of the Cuban .. Commissioners Will Not Affect His Being In Charge of the North
 Atlantic Squadron,

Washington, Aug 3-The navy de- partment expects to award the contract for first class ooaling station in the Samoan islands in the course of q week or 10 days, and the work will be ener- getieally prosecuted to completion in or der that the station may be utilized by American warships early next year Several companies have entered the competition and no doubt is expressed that good terms will be obtainable in any event within the $250 GOO available for the purpose.
 Congress appropriated 9Io0, GOO in 1899 to take advantage of the Samoan con cession and all surveys were made for the wharf and the defense of the site at the time, but more than half of the money was expended for coal and the lowest bid for the structural work and pier approproximating $70,000 it was impossible to let the contract Since that time congress has been too apathetic to make further appropriation The navy department has, however, discov- cred an unused appropriation of $200, GOO made i'll general terms for q coaling station in the Pacific, with the inten- ton that it should be spentat Pearl har- bor and this will be now taken as an emergency measure for Pdgo Pago.
 The specifications and the contract will provide for q per head 256 feet long and AS feet wide, in 40 feet of water with q wharf 2o8 feet long connecting it with the shore The structure will be entirely of steel and of most sub stantial character Its piles will be solid rolled or forged steel eight inches in di- ameter and provided with screw points three feet in diameter to secure a firm hold in the sand and coral bed of the harbor which is 200 feet deep few hum dred feet away from the pier head. Ashore there will be two coal sheds con- structed wholly of steel upon heavy con crete floors l50 feet long by 100 feet wide. A narrow gauge rail with double track will run from all parts of the pier to the upper part of the coal sheds, and the contract calls for 24 two tons of the dumping cars, and the cables and ma chinery to operate them. The contract also provides for the erection of a sub- stantial dwelling and large storehouse, the entire establishment to be completed within twelve months under a penalty of $l00, GOO day
 Naval officers declare that Pago Pago harbor is the only landloeked port of refuge III the Samoan group, and that is the best harbor among the islands of the Pacific ocean. The property owned by the United States at Swimming Point, is the most sheltered part of the harbor, as well as the most accessible and easily defended point. The land immediately back of the coal sheds rises to a level of 160 feet, and here It is proposed to mount several heavy guns,
