SAFE CAPTURED.
The Thieves in Custody and Most Of the
Cash Recovered.

The thieves have been run to earth
thanks to our efficient Shorthand
most Of the money taken from Daniels
& Newsom's safe has been recovered.
or course the Hole-in-the-Wall story
was a blind. The fact is that Sheriff
Hazen had located one of the thieves
within a few hours after the robbery,
and in that belief had put up a job on
as he had planned, and resulted in the
capture of two of the men who did the
work. and the recovery of something
over 5000 of the money taken from the
safe. Ed Nevis was arrested and
brought in from the north on Tuesday
night, and on Friday Sheriff Hazen
came in from the west with Jim Dale.
who was arrested by Sheriff Rice at
Casper, and who had $740 of the money
taken from the safe on his person when
searched by that officer.
Nevis was the first a suspected,
and knowing his passion for gambling,
Sheriff Hazen commissioned him as his
deputy the next morning after the crime
and sent him to Collaborating the
deputy sheriff there to watch him.
Nevis promptly blew in 5000 of the
stolen money in a poker game as soon
as he reached there and vas arrested.
Acting on information received from
him soon after his Incarceration, tele-
grams and postal cards were sent out
describing Dale, and his arrest follow
ed.
The story of the crime reads like a
chapter fem a nickle novel. 1t was
planned by Dale, who had experience as
a crook. and who did all the work. He
and Nevis hung around town-for three
days awaiting a favorable opportunity
to crack the crib. spending their days
in the hills and bad lands north of the
city and sneaking about the outskirts
hole in the safe and fired the shot.
Nevis says that when the safe blew
open he Thought the entire building
had caved in, and ran for the back door.
but that Dale never budged, and was
busy gathering up the loot before the
smoke had cleared away. The money
about 81 1900 in cash-was divided
Then Cheyenne river was reached,
after daylight.
Messrs. Daniels & Newsome gave
Sheriff Rice a reward OF 800 for maxi
ing the arrest.-Douglas Budget.

works on China and her people. The

adds. carries with it Chinese ofiicial rank
and promotes him from the blue to the

the second class.
There was at first considerable OPP
position to this appointment, but par
ticularly owing to the efforts OF Ii

CERVERA AT MADRID.
Declares He Has n Clear Conscience
Regarding Santiago.

Madrid, Sept, 22.-Admiral Cervera
arrived here today. There was no in
cidents worth noting in connection
with his arrival at the capital. In an
interview the admiral said he had a
clear conscience regarding Santiago.
Nations, he said, Grew great by their
victories and not by their defeats, how
ever glorious they might be. Spain had
lived in a dream, and she had now to
face reality. The admiral added that
his warships were not destroyed in bat
tie, but by fire.
General Toral, the Spanish COM
mander who surrendered his forces at
Santiago de Cuba has also arrived here.
He did 80 without attracting any atten-
ton. He is now sick in bed.

SECRETARY ALGER
DECLARES THE WAR DEPART
MENT NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR CAMPS.
Officers Will Be Held Ac-
countable for Any Such Conditions
-If Found Incompetent They Will
Have to Give Place to Others-Dif-
ficulties in the Way.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 22.-Sec-
rotary Alger, who arrived last night,
was out early this morning.
About 9 a. m. the secretary and Sur
geon General Sternberg, accompanied
by Brigadier General Boynton, left for
Chickamauga park, where they spent
the day in critical inspection of the hos
pitfalls, over which there has been so
much controversy. Before leaving
Chattanooga, General Alger said to a
representative:
THE press has been disposed to ex-
.aggerate the condition of some of the
camps. and things have been charged
against the war department which were
untrue and warranted. l want the
facts, and all the facts, to come out,
and have nothing to withhold from the
public.
THE great trouble has been that the
people have not appreciated the i'm
mense problem of forming an army of
100000 volunteers. without arms and
without necessary equipment. The
Spanish war came on us almost like
a bolt from a clear sky, and 1t found
every branch of the war department
~unprepared for the task OF equipping
and handling such a vast number of IN
trained men.
For a time there was difficulty in
furnishing supplies and equipment for
the troops. but that was to be expected.
The department has only a limited sup
ply of tents, and 1t had practically no
wagons or ambulances to start with.
There were a thousand or more details
to look after, and a fairly disposed
public will understand the disadvan-
tages with which the war department
worked for many weeks. As fast as
possible, supplies and equipment YER
sent to the several camps, and IL there
has been lack of medicines and neces-
saries of life the fault Is with the COM
handing officers Of the camps.
There may hayel been some incom-
potent officers, general and cosonels. in
charge of some oh the camps. and. If
such is found to be the case. they will
be held strictly to account for their
misdeeds.
III there are any commanding officers
who are now incompetent, or who fail
to put their camps in first-class con-
dition and keep them that way, I pro-
pose that they shall be replaced by
men who are competent anC who see
that perfect sanitary conditions are
established and maintained"

ed to a call and declared that naturally
Chickamauga park was absolutely
healthy and the water pure, and that
the sickness at Camp Thomas was
traceable directly to the failure of com
handing and regimental officers to OBJ
serve the sanitary regulations which
had been issued on the subject by the
medical bureau.
The party left for Huntsville at 10: 80
o'clock and will visit Admission, Allan
ia and Jacksonville. returning to Wash

Walcott on International Bi.met-
allSm.

Senator Walcott wants another trial at
international bimetalism, hut he bases
his arguments on the Eurc-ean masses
and not upon the men x..1 run finances
and politics in Europe. In speech in
the Senate he says:
Whatever difference of opinion msy
exist as to the ability of this country
alone to maintain the parity between
silver and gold, there is no question that
the concurrence OF other nations would
help the cause OF binetalism in the Uni-
ted States. and efforts to secure il ought
to receive the support OF every citizen
who is isopposed to gold monometalism.
international bimetalism 10 not myth,
chimera. The people of Europe are
even as We are. struggling to keep our
heads above water aud seeking blindly
for that which may make for them pros-
perity and progress.
"Much of the recen. legislation in Eu-
rope looking to the increase of gold hold.
lngs and the depreciation of silver, knds
lie origin in the exigencies OF Q nation
where readiness for war is the paramount
oeeessity. There Is hardly q statesman
ia Europe who believes the laet word has
yes been said upon the question OF the
reconciliation of silver, and hardly one
who would not welcome an effort to settIs
the question internationally. Only te'E
days ago. just before Christmas. in q
debate in the French chamber, N. Melin
again declared from the tribune that the
French government MAS one with the

An editorial in the New York World
on Prodigal Poverty has attracted con-
siderable attention. According to it
poor people are many times to blame
for their condition, and we can see
this ali around rs without going back to

grinds himself still further down by
spending most of his money for liquor,
and not alone for liquor but Tor other
things that are unnecessary, an illustra-
lion being the manner in which be
takes his family to the circus when
they need the money for food and
