sins of Gov. GOebeI.

Frankfort, KY, April Establishments
We're returned by the grand jury to-day
against John w. Davis and Green Golden
as accessories to the murder of Gov Goe-
bel.
Green Golden is a cousin of Wharton
Golden, who turned states evidence. Davis

and tried to escape from Frankfort with
Caleb Powers.
The case against w. l.. Hazelipp. who
was accused of completely in the Goebel
shooting, was dismissed.
1t is persistently reported here tonight
that Gov. Taylor has been indicted by the
grand jury and that the indictment was
returned to-day along with those against
Capt. Davis and Green Golden. but that
this indictment will not be given out until
Gov. Taylor returns from Washington.

CARRINGToN REACHES BEIRA.
More RumOrs That Johannesburg
Mines Will BE Blown Up.

London, April 10, 2:1O p. m.-The arrival
East Africa, and the reiteration of the
report that the Beers intend blowing up
the johannesburg mines, are the only
items of news that mark to-days war
cables.
Weeks must elapse before Gen. Caring
ton will be able to concentrate his forces
on the borders of the Transvaal or ap-
proach Mafeking.
According to a runnor in circulation at
Lorenzo Marquee, a Boer force has been
sent to intercept Gen. Darlington, but 1t
is not thought to be of sufficient strength
to cause anxiety.
The Natal Mercury is responsible for the
renewed fears concerning the mines,
printing accounts from newly arrived
refugees, saying elaborate preparations
for the destruction of all the johannes
burg shafts have been carried on under
the supervision of the state mining en-
gineer, who is alleged to have requisition-
ed all the copper wire in the town for the
purpose of making connections.
The Bloemfontein dispatches remain full
of trivial details but are absolutely silent
as to the future.
According to a dispatch from Ladysmith,
dated to-day, the Beers are much discon-
certed by the present condition of affairs
Their fortlfications and forces, numbering
about 1000 men, are spread over ridges in
contemplation of British advance
through the Waschbank valley, north Of
I.adysmith, which has not been occupied
The Boer patrols are very active and are
constantly laying traps.
A proclamatio issued at Cape Town to-
day allows trading between Cape Colony
and the occupied portions of the Orange
Free State to be resumed.
"A patrol of Cape police near Boshof, yes
terday, captured, two Beers, oxen, some
wagons and 200 head Of cattle.
Two Germans who recently arrived at
Cape Town have been sentenced to a
years Imprisonment for having suspicious
possession of 100 rifles and GOO cordite car
tridGes.

PORTO RICo's CURRENCY.
The Exchange VIII Soon lie Made
for American Coin.

Washington, April 19.-The treasury de-
partmeut has completed the arrangements
for the retirement of Porto Rican money
and the substitution of American currency.
james A. Sample, the chief of the issue
division of Treasurer Roberts Office, and
w. +. Watson of New York, an expert ac-
countant have been selected to go to
Porto Rico to make the exchange and will
leave before May l.
The work is 10 be done under the Porto
Rican bill recently PASSED by Congress
which provides for the retirement of Por-
to Rican pesos ana all other money on the
island and the exchange therefor of Ameri-
can money.
1t is estimated that there are 100000
pieces of silver and other metallic curren-
cy in the island and now in circulation
These pieces are worth 100000 pesos
Congress has decided that the exchange
shall be made on the basis Of 60 cents for
the pesos. About 100000 of American
money will therefore be required to take
up all the minor money in Porto Rico.
The first shipment of American money
will be made to the island between now
and May l, by an army transport and the
Porto Rican money viii be brought back
here as 1t is taken up and recoined.
The exchange will be made largely
through the Porto Riean banking and bus
mess institutions. 1t will be Il long time
before all of the Porto Rican money IS
turned in, but the bulk of it probably will
20 out of circulation within a few months.
Treasurer Roberts says he will send
gold, silver certificates and sub-treasury
coins to Porto Rico to replace the pesos
and other coins. The silver certificate Is
the only form of United states currency
which will be used at present in the island.
The amount Of each kind Of money to be
sent at once is as follows:
Minor coins, $4,000; subsidiary silver,
O0O0 silver certificates, $260,0O0 and gold
coin, Sl65, 600, making 100000 in all.

RAIN HAS STOPPED WARFARE.
Beers Have Not Yet Abandoned the
Siege of KVeDener.

London April 20, AIS a. ma deluge of
rain, lasting ten days, has brought the op-
erations in the southeastern part of the
Free State almost to a standstill The
creeks have become roaring rivers and
the roads are streams of mud
A singular message, dated Bloemfontein,
April 10, 1855 a. M, and beginning via
press censor, Bloemfontein," reports an
exchange of shots in the direction of De-
Wetsdorp, where the Beers are said to be
concentrating, after their withdrawal
from Wepener."
There is nothing else to Indicate that the
investment of Wepener has been abandon
ed by the Beers. Notwithstanding the rain,
however the British have made some prog
ress, as Dew etsdorp has been occupied by
them, presumably by the advance of Gen.
Bundles division. DeWetsdorp is about
twenty-four miles from Wepener.
An obscure message from Aliwal North,
dated April l9, says that Gen. Brabant
has arrived there, but whether he return
I'd alone or with his troops is not clear.
Beers reports from Aliwal North aver
that from 5000 to 10000 Beers are at
Wepener.

concert for the benefit of the widows and
orphans have been cabled. No less than
seven separate accounts have been pub

The concert, the weather and the bare
statement that Lord Roberts is about to
move are about the only things that the
censor has allowed to pass, and the war
correspondent who announces that Lord
Roberts is ready to move does not specify
the direction in which he is going.
Gen. Hunter, from Natal, commanding
the newly formed division, arrived at
Bloemfontein yesterday (ThursdaO and

Lord Roberts. To what point he proceed

that he will operate west of Bloemfon-

HAY NOTIFIES DEPARTMENT.
Action of Chicago Ambulance Men in
Taking Up Arms.

Washington, April 19-United States
Consul Hay at Pretoria, has notified the
state department by cable of the report
ed action of the members of the Chicago
ambulance corps in taking up arms in the
Boer army, instead of continuing with
the hospital corps, to which they had
pledged themselves upon leaving the
United States.
Apparently the Portuguese authorities
at Lorenzo Marquee had doubts as to the
actual neutrality of these men. for the
party was detained many days at the port
before being allowed to proceed over the
railroad TO Pretoria. The dispatches stat
ed that a letter from Miss Barton turned
the tide in their favor. Miss Barton was
said to have declared that certain mem
bers of the party were known to her and
believed to be going under true colors.
The officials here say that nothing can
be done by the government 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 a filibustering party
which would have enabled the United
States authorities TO prevent their depar-
ture. Similarly, the Portuguese authori-
ties probably found themselves obliged
to let the unknown men pass through
Lorenzo Marquee and il would appear
that unless the British government can
induce the Portuguese to take different
view of their obligations, Portuguese
South Africa will remain an open door

ing Laws-The Measure Has Al
ready Passed the senate.
Washington, April 19.-Green and Gay
nor's legal advisors are boldly attempting
TO hold up" Congress, and prevent the
passage of a special act by which Messrs
Greene and Gaynor of New York may be
tried in the courts of Savannah for their
alleged completely in the Carter conspir-
acy.
Mr.. Rose, who has thus far led the fight
in behalf of Capt. Carter and his assist
ants, is in Washington with an array Of
legal talent from New York to prevent
the House from passing the special act
recommended by Attorney General Griggs
by which the recent decision of Judge
Brown of New York may be overruled
and Messrs. Greene and Gaynor may be
tried by the Georgia court in spite of the
decree to the contrary by Judge Brown
The bill has passed the Senate, but Mr.
Rose predicts that it will not pass the
House. Judge Ray of New York is chair
man of the Judiciary Committee having
the bill in charge, and Mr.. Rose intimates
that Judge Ray is in no hurry to report
the bill to the House for action.
1t is claimed by the friends of Carter
Greene and Gaynor that the pending bill
is repugnant to so many existing laws
that it cannot and should not pass. They
assert that it conflicts with the inter
state commerce law, the antitrust law
and several other acts. which would be
practically set aside by the enactment of
the new law proposed by Attorney Cen
eral Griggs to cover this particular case.
Mr.. Rose says the bill passed the Senate
without objection because no one took
the pains to carefully examine it's pro-
visions In the House the friends of
Greene and Gaynor were more active and
energetic apd it seems that even Con-
gress is not beyond that powerful and un-
seen influence which is behind the bril-

RIVERA CALLS ON CUBANS.
wants Them to Unite in Asking In
dependence in 1901.

Havana, April 19.-Gen. Rius Rivera,
Secretary of Agriculture, Industry and
Commerce, has written letter, which is
largely circulated, calling upon political
parties of all shades to. unite in order 10
present a united front to the government
and people of the United States when ask
ing that the year 1901 shall be devoted TO
the formation of an independent govern
ment for Cuba, which shall begin to act
on its own responsibility after the end Of
1901.
This plan he offers as a solution of the
political problem now so greatly compli-
Gated by the existence of various par
ties.
Many influential Cuban politicians. how
ever, believe 1t would not be wise for all
the advocates of independence TO form one
party. Their view is that two parties
would act more effectively than one, and
they would be able to check each other.
The letter of Gen. Rivera has caused
a great sensation among the Cubans gen.
orally, coming as it does from cabinet
secretary; and the feeling is that, as the
letter is to all practical intents a call
upon the Cubans to demand independence
he will have to resign.

In which 1t Is Said That Germany

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Rio Janeiro, April 4-Advlces from the
frontier of Brazil and Uruguay show that
a large amount of arms and ammunition,
including Krupp guns and Mauser rifles,
together with large quantities of other war
material have been imported into the state
of Rio Grande do SUI in the extreme
south of Brazil.
Federaist newspapers here and there
assert that well made plan Is on foot to
detach the southern states of Brazil and
to form a confederacy with Uruguay un-
der the protection of Germany. The three
southern states suspected of the project
are Rio Grande do Sui, Parana and Santa
Catharina.
The recent visits to that section of The
German minister to Brazil, Count Arco
Valley, and the German consul, are said
to be connected with such an undertaking,
which, according TO the federalist press,
is being promoted under cover of a pre-
tended separation of Rio Grande do Sui,
from the rest of Brazil.
The Gazeta de Noucias and the Cidade
de Rio have both published n series of ar
ticles dealing with supposed plans of Ger
many to take advantage of any future
difficulties of the United States in order
to protect the southern part Of Brazil.
The former journal points out that the
territory now inhabited exclusively by
Germans in Brazil is far more extensive
than all Germany, and the Cidade has re-
