WHERE IS MONSIEUR POTEL?
CASE OF MYSTERIOUS DISAP-
PEARANCE AT OGDEN.
Frenchman From Aspen Leaves His
Wife to Purchase Tickets and
Drops Out of Sight.
Especial 70 The Herald.D

Ogden, March ia case of myster-
ious disappearance that seems. to grow
more mysterious as the hours go by
has come to light in Ogden. Last night
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Potel of Aspsn.
Colo. came into ogden en- route for
San Francisco. Mr.. Potsl left his wife
few minutes to go and buy some
sleeper tickets. He did not return, and
the lady, becoming alarmed, notified
the police, who have searched diligently
ever since, without finding any trace of
the man.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Potel are French
and speak English very imperfectly.
This circumstance would aid materially
in tracing him, had he endeavored to
inquire the way, as he must have done
if he tried to wander about in Ogden.
The lady says he had all of their
money, both the railroad tickets and
her watch as well as his own. She is
about 40 years of age, while he is a year
or two her senior. She spent much Of
the day at the police station. endeavor-
ing to aid the officers in their search.
In the 81 ternoOn she sent a message
to her husbands brother Gustav Potel,
at Denver. This evening a reply came
from the telegraph officials, stating that
Gustav Potel had left yesterday for
San Francisco. Mrs. Potel is nearly
frantic. and believes that her husband
has been foully dealt with for the sake
of his money.
Gustav Potel is expected in from
Denver at 2:30 in the morning. he hav-
ing left there before the message ar
rived from Mrs. Potel.
The brother of the man who d;sap-
peared failed to arrive on the 2:30 clock
train. 1t is thought he will come on
the noon train. No trace has been re-
ceived up to this hour of Ed Potel.

LIANT AND TRACY MAY RETURN
COLORADO OFFICIALS WILLING
TO GIVE THEM UP.
Can Be Convicted of Hoy's Murder
After They Have Served Out Their
Terms In Utah.
Special to The lIerald.)

Denver. Colo. March 19.-Governor
Adams yesterday received letters from
officers in Routt county, favoring the
plan of allowing the Robbers Roost
team. Liant and Tracy, to be taken to
Utah, to serve out their sentences in
the Utah penitentiary. from which they
escaped. They say the evidence against
the men. who are charged with the kill
ing of V. S. Hoy. is so unmistakable
that they can be convicted of the muir
der, even if the time elaDsing before
they are returned to Colorado be 20
years.
1t is not yet a settlin thing that Gov
ernor Adams will not allow the men to
be taken to Utah. He thinks, himself,
the cost of keeping them in the Routt
county jail will be more than will JUS
tify the trouble at present. 1t will be
possible to bring the men back to this
state to answer for their crimes after
they have served eight years in Utah.
The governor viii endeavor to hear
from the principal officials of Routt
county. and will also find out all about
the cases before making a final deci-
sion. Today he wrote to John T. Shu-
mate, district attorney at Glenwood
Springs, for information.

RUMoRED CAPTURE OF PANDo
tt Caused Great Rejoicing Among
Cubans at Key West.

st. Louis, March ia special to the
Post Dispatch from Key West, Fla,
saws: A dispatch from Havana an
nounces that General Pando. the sec
ond in command of the Spanish forces
III Cuba, has been captured by a band
of insurgents under General CaliXto
Garcia. The capture was made in the
Trinidad district of eastern Cuba This
news is considered by Cubans to mean
that the greatest blow that the insur-
gents have vet dealt to Spain has fall
len. General Pando has long been con-
sidered the only real fighter among
the legion of Spanish officers the crown
has sent against the Cubans. He is
spoken of as the one VINO never sleeps,
and during the past few months has
engaged in numerous battles with Cen
erals Garcia and Rabi along the River
Cauto, in the eastern part of the is
land.
Key West IS gay with Cuban flags,
and Cuban sympathiZers are beside
themselves with joy over the news of
Pando's capture. Hand in hand with
this information comes news that the
Cubans have succeeded in landing a
where a general uprising has taken
place.
There is much conjecture as to what
Will be done with General Pando.
New York, March 19.-At the head
quarters of the Cuban junta in this
city nothing has been heard of the re-
ported capture of General Pando. There
was a disposition to discredit the story
and to ascribe its origin to some en-
thusiastic, but irresponsible, person.

various bureaus. The naval bureau of
ordnance has contracted for $500 600
pounds of brown powder, which is prob
ably the largest. single order ever given.
This was divided between the Califor-
MIA Powder company and the Dupont
Powder company. These concerns to-
gether, are furnishing the bureau about
10000 pounds daily and within a week
or so it is expected the capacity of these
two works will be brought up to 10000
pounds of powder daily. The order is
sufficient in the aggregate to give 200
rounds for every gun afloat in the
American navy and with this large sup
ply on hand, the navy, for the first
time in years, will be more than amply
supplied with powder

Washington, March 19.-There is no
doubt that the authorities here are
keeping themselves fully advised as to
the movement of the Spanish torpedo
hotiila. now en- route from Spain. I'D to
last night the official advices were to
the effect that the fiotilIa had not left
the Canaries, where a stop was made
to await the arrival of a Spanish
cruiser. Persons acquainted with the
facts say that the stop at the Canaries
is emily temporary. and that there is no
purpose on the part of the Spanish gov
eminent TO turn back the torpedo boats
because of the removal of the Texas
and Massachusetts from Key West. On
the contrary. the purpose. as made
known in Washington. is that the tor
pedO flOtilla viii continue its trip TO
Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t was stated
today by one high in naval authority
that no steps had been taken toward
intercepting this fiOtilia or warning it
away. There has been considerable
conjecture in this line by naval officers,
but on the idea that if emergency was
in fact near at hand, it would be mex
pedient To allow a large torpedo fiotilla
to rendezvous on this side.
The fact that Rear Admiral Sicard
has remaining with him at Key West
a formidable squadron is due to the de-
sire of the authorities TO have a strong
fleet there when the report of the court
of inquiry is read. and the result of the
policy TO be inaugurated by the presi-
dent has made itself apparent
1t has been determined by the officials
to continue the sharp watch which has
been kept on the torpedo boat fiOtilla,
and should they attempt TO move to
Porto Rico. to make a vigorous protest
to Spain, looking toward orders for
their Immediate return to the Canaries.
and if Spain should refuse to comply
with these representations. the plan
prepared by the officials contemplates
not only the formation of a flving
squadron. but the dispatch Of cruisers

NEWS AT THE JUNTA.
New York, March 19.-At the office of
the Cuban junta in this city there was
general rejoicing this afternoon when
the foregoing dispatch, received by the
Associated Press from Havana, was
translated.
T. Estrada Palma read the bulletin
very carefully and said:
'Of course we don't doubt that the
Spaniards have suspended operations in
eastern Cuba, and that General Pando
is seeking a, conference with the Cuban
leaders.
General Pando has been trying to do
the same thing ever since his arrival in
Cuba. So far he has been unsuccessful
and we are positive that he will remain
So"
FOR AN INVASION.
The gathering of large Cuban forces
near the Jucaro Moron trocha is prob
ably for their passage through it in or
der to invade the western provinces,
as was announced in the Associated
Press cablegrams few days ago.
There viii be no conference between
the Cuban leaders and Pando, or any
other Spanish representative.
The belief of the Havana officials
that the Spanish propositions will be
accepted is pTeposterous.
THE latter portion of the dispatch
speaks for itself.
THE Cubans will not admit of any
solution of the war unless it is based
on absolute independence of Cuba"
UNFOUNDED RUMOR.
Havana, March 19.-The report circu-
lated here that General Pando. the
Spanish commander-in-chief in Cuba,
had been captured by the insurgent,
General Garcia, is untrue. According
to the latest advices General Pando has
left Ciengo de Avello and was proceed
ing to the eastward probably with
Puerto Principe as his destination.
