THAT KILLING WAS THE RESULT OF A "WO- MAN IN THE CASE"-MUR- DERERs AT LARGE. THE SHERIFF RETURNS Not With the Men but With the Deadly Bullet-Wilson
 Implicated.

Sheriff Mccoy returned this morn. irg from English or Cooper's Island, where he went to, if possible, cap ture Berry Johnson and Oscar Will son, the two negroes who together killed three men at that place last Sunday.
 The sheriff did not capture the men but brought home with him the winchester bullet that went through the negro, Overby's 6rain, a heavy plank and entered the side of house near by. The cartridges used by Johnson, who shot both Wimber- ly aud Overby to death, were the best winchester smokeless car- tridges made.
 The mystery brought about through the assassination of J. M. Mckinney, the negro foreman, who acted on tue coroner 53ry, and V ho was found dead in his bed Monday morning. has been partly solved by the officers. Oscar Wilson, the negro who supplied Berry Johnson with the winchester f1fe, roomed in the same cabin with Mckinney. He thought Mckinney knew little too much about him and who was the only person who knew that Wilson had furnished Johnson with the gun, so it is thought that he decided to murder Mckinney. Sometime dur ing the night he went into McKin- ney's soom and sent bullet through his brain while the latter was asleep, He then secured enough ammunition to last him and with winchester in hand, fled. IL is supposed that Johnson and Wilson, both oi whom are well armed, are together.
 Up to the present writing, how ever, nothing has been learned of their whereabouts, though the off cers have been informed that they are making for the Mississippi river h the direction of McGehee and Arkansas City. Officers at both places have been notified to keep an ''open eye" for them. Sheriff Me Coy went 10 McGehee this morning on the southbound Iron Mounta in passenger train. He says he thinks he has the men located. and hopes to capture them n this trip.
 As is usually the case. woman is the cause of the horrible Sabbath tragedy. It seems that Johnson had been paying close attention to a "yaller damsel'' named Mary Jones. as stated in Mondays Graphic Harry Wimberly, another negro, had tender spot in his heart for the same woman and told Consta- ble Hodo 10 arrest them. Johnson borrowed Wilson's gun and went after Wimberly, with the heretofore men toned fatal results.

devoted to the formation Of an independ-
ent government for Cuba, which shall be-
the end of 1901. The letter has caused a
great sensation among the Cubans gem

BOgus S Ambulance Corps.

washington, April 19.-United States
Consul Hay at Pretoria has notified the
state department by cable Of the re-
ported action of the members of the
Chicago ambulance corps in taking up
arms in the Boer army instead of con-
tinuing with the hospital corps, to
which they had pledged themselves up
on leaving the United States. Appar-
emily the Portuguese authorities at
LOurenzO Marques had doubts as to the
actual neutrality Of the men, for the
party was detained many days at the
port before they were allowed to pro-
ceed over the railroad to Pretoria.
The dispatches state that letter
from Miss Barton turned the tide in
their favor. Miss Barton was said to
have declared that certain members of
the party We're known to her and be-
lieved to be going under true colors.
The officials here say nothing can be
done by them to prevent such violations
of faith as are reported from South
Africa. The men did not go out with
arms and so did not fulfill the legal
description of filibustering party.
which would have enabled the United
States authorities to prevent their de-
parture. Similarly the Portuguese ,au-
thorfties probably were themselves
obliged to let the unknown men pass
through Lourezno Marques and 1t
would appear that unless the, British
government can induce the Portuguese
to take different view Of their obli-
cations. Portuguese South Africa will
remain an open doorway for recruits
entering the Transvaal. =
