Former Consul Believes British May
Have Copied Our Code.
Kansas City, Mo-, April 3.-James
Buckley of this city. who was United
States consul general at Gogota in 1897,
says he is convinced that the British
government is in possession of the CT
pher code used by the department OF
state, and thinks he can account for
the manner in which the code was Sc
cured. He says: "In 1890, when Dr.
jeremiah Caughlin was appointed con-
sui general at Bogota, he found Will
liam G. Boshell, the vice consul gen.
eral, in charge. DR.. Caughlin made
an inventory of the office and found
the code missing. Mr.. Bashell said
1t had always been kept in a certain
bookcase, and could not account for its
absence. Three weeks later it was re-
turned to the bookcase as mysteriously
as 1t had disappeared. Boshell was a
British subject. He became involved
some unpleasantries in Bogota. and
returned to London in 1897"

Gen. Chermside was engaged from

evacuated the hill and the main ridge.
Then Gen. French attempted to flank
the Beers to the west, and they were
seen galloping to the north. The
British occupied the ridge. from which
across easy country could be seen the

that a minority of The Beers did all
the work, the majority having fed
from the positions they had previously
held for the purpose of drawing the
British fire.
