JOHNSON JORDAN WANTED.
Leading Collins Witness Said to Have
Been Implicated in McFar-
land Murder,

TOPEKA, July 12.-(Special) Johnson
Jordan, the negro witness who figured SO
prominently in the John Collins murder
case, is wanted again, not as a witness in
murder case, but as principal in one.
The authorities claim he is implicated in
the double murder at Mcfarland two
weeks ago.
johnson Jordan has not been seen in To-
peka since the news of the murder was
printed: He was here during the :aces,
June 20 to "a, and visited his familiar
haunts. Mcfarland. the scene of the MUIR
der, and Alma, four miles from there, are
familiar places to him, as he has relatives
living at the latter place and has visited
there often.
When Williams was resuscitated by the
physicians after the ATTEMPTED lynching at
Alma on Sunday, the officers told him that
he would be lynched before night, and he
confessed, and besides practically admit
ting his own connection with the crime he
implicated James Render, Bill Collins and
Johnson Jordan. Render had implicated
Jordan before that time.
Johnson Jordan is supposed to be in
Pueblo, and Bill Collins Is thought to be
In Denver. Ex-Sheriff John NJ. Wilkersen
and Special Officer Fassler, of the Rock
Island, are looking for the two men. The
officers were told that they were in Kan
sas City and another officer was sent there
to look for them.
The colored porter on Santa Fe train No.
s to-day made the positive statement that
he put Johnson Jordan off the train this
morning at Larned- Jordan is mentioned
in the confession of 'Trilby," now In jail
at Alma FOR the murder Of Harry Tandy,
as an accomplice.

NEW MEXICO TRAIN ROBBERY
Colorado Southern Passenger Held Up
Near Folsom by Four Men
Tuesday Night

TRINIDAD, COL, July 12.-Southbound
passenger train No. l, on the Colorado
Southern railway, was robbed by four men
at point five miles south of Fulsom,
N. NJ. The holdup occurred at 1880 clock
last night at the same point at which the
passenger train was held up last Septem-
ber.
After the train had been brought to a
standstill and the crew had been intimi-
dated by guns, the robbers used dynamite
will good effect, blowing open the sides of
the express car Superintendent Webb and
the Wells-Fargo express agent, Glover,
both state positively that nothing was Sc
cured by the robbers.
Superintendent Webb left for the scene
of the holdup on special train, accom-
panied by officers with horses. He is con-
fident that he will be able to overtake the
robbers.
There were but few passengers on the
train, and they were not molested. AS
soon as the robbers had searched the ex-
press car they mounted horses, which were
hitched near by, and, firing a few shots
to alarm trainmen and passengers, fled
without any attempt to go through the
mail car.
!, Parties here who claim to know say
that there was a large amount of money
In the express safe, as well as valuable
express matter.

Another Pee Gee Connection.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, July 12.-(Spe-
cial.) The fact that Mayor ]. A. Woodson
Of this city. has been granted a vacation
is generally known here, but the further
fact that he has gone to New England to
finance a big railway scheme of great In
terest to Southwest Arkansas and North
east Texas has not yet been made public.
Mayor Woodson Is receiver of the South
west Arkansas and Indian Territory rail-
road, now in operation from Smithton, on
the Iron Mountain, to Pike City, Pike

Wall Street Rumors.

NEW YORK, July 12.-WaIl street was
as full of rumors to-day as a gas balloon
1t was reported that the Chicago Terminal
Transfer Company has passed under the
and that the Kansas City. Pittsburg &
Gulf had been acquired by the same COM
bination. It Is said that the Union Pacific
is very largely though indirectly interest
ed. The rumor regarding the Pee Gee is
very persistent and 1t is said there are
good grounds for believing that the syndi-
cate has acquired a controlling interest in
the stock and bonds
1t Is also currently rumored in the
"street" that the Goulds are about to con-
solidate their Southwestern railroad prop
critics. The principal story Is to the effect
that the first step will be the absorption of
the Texas & Pacific stock by the Missouri
Pacific, to be followed by similar merger
of the Missouri Pacific with the Wabash
road The st. Louis Southwestern, it is
said. is TO be annexed to the Missouri Pa
cifc.

DESTINY OF CUBA.
Juan GuaIberto Gomez Says 1t Is In
dependence-NOthing Less
AcceptabIe.


HAVANA, July 12-At the meeting held
last evening in the Payret theater, after
the street demonstration and parade in his
honor, Juan Gualberto Gomez was himself
the principal speaker. In the course Of a
long address, dealing with the reasons for
beginning the war against Spain, he said:
1 am now, as l always have been, a sep
aratist, and l still demand the separation
that 1 asked before the war; not only sep
aration from Spain, but from any and all
other nations. People only begin a revolu-
ton when this is absolutely necessary to
life and progress. If a superior force de-
ters them before their object is attained,
there IS merely the question of delay
The revolution will inevitably return.
Nations, like stars, have their seasons of
eclipse; but, following their orbits, they
emerge and accomplish their final destiny.
The destiny of Cuba is only independence
The basic ideas of the revolution were no
mystery, and, therefore, a synopsis now.
which would really remind us of past suf
ferinS and of incidents only to be recalled
with horror, is unnecessary. Still, we would
return to those direful days II 1t had to he
Honor Is as much a necessity in a nations
life as food in the life of the individual.
and 1t ought to be insured, If possible.
even though the attempt may result in
catastrophe and death.
Such disasters we can avoid by perfect
unison, by raising our voices to declare
that this country is ours and that we want
1t for ourselves, by forgetting our enmities
by obliterating personalities, by drawing a
line through our terrible past and by de-
voting ourselves to the future
I'VE should give due thanks to the Ameri-
cans, whose progress and power inspire
our admiration, but this does not mean
that we should resign ourselves to tute-
lage to be exercised over us. Let US make
the same statement to the United States
that the American colonies made to Eng
land when they declared in 1776 that the
Americans owned North America
The entire speech was in this spirit.
The local press praises it to-day as "the
most important occurrence since Janu-
ary L.
Most of those present at the meeting were
negroes, and many of the banners borne
in the procession showed the legend, In
dependence or DEATH"
The yellow fever alarms of the last few
weeks have caused the department a good
deal of annoyance AS a rule, they have
been due to sensational and unreliable
news. No attempt, whatever, has been
made by General Ludlow or the sanitary
authorities to maintain secrecy regarding
the facts. On the contrary, the fullest
publicity is given, every hospital is opened
to inspection, all inquiries by properly ac-
credited correspondents are promptly an
swered, and every effort to discover sus-
pected cases is welcomed and facilitated.
