HAD ENOUGH FREEDOM.
Escaped Criminal Gives Himself
Up to the Prison Au-
thOrltieS.

Waupun, Wis, Jan. Special /
Cold, tired, frightened, hungry and dis
cUura ged. Ferdinand Knaak, who escaped
from Waupun Thursday night. asked TO
be taken back to prison again. He was
thoroughly tired of his brief liberty and
had all he wanted of the outside world
The man was confused and the warden
was only able to get Il very incoherent
story Of his movements from the time OF
his escape until he was brought back
to prison. All the man knew was that
he wanted to get back. He was not
used to the great outside world.
Last evening the warden received Il
telephone message from Oaktield saying
that the escaped convict was there Off
GERS were hurriedly sent to the place and
the escaped convict was brought back
TO prison. II refused to say anything AT
first, but after considerable urging he
told a confused story Of the escape
He said that the three had been plann-
ing the escape for some time He was
given considerable freedom about the
prison SO it is supposed that the two 9TH
CT men took him into their plans "a they
thought he would be Of use to them.
knaak says that on the evening OF the
escape he three We're standing m the
tower when one Of the men suggested
that he go back to call for something
that he had left. He went back. return
ing III 4 moment but they were gone.
He supposed that they were waiting for
him on the outside so he slid to the
ground and got outside of the prison,
but he could finI nothing Of the other
men,
1t was dark and he was confused He
wandered about the prison city not
knowing where to go or what to DO. He
hid every time he saw anyone coming.
At last he struck out for the open coun-
try and got lost in the Horizon marsh
about seven miles from here. After
wandering about for long time he made
I'D his mind that he must find shelter or
die.
Suddenly before him he saw a farm
house and making his way there SUM
1r0ned the farmer. He then told him
that he was an escaped convict and that
he wanted to go back to prison and
begged him to allow him TO sleep in the
barn and give him something to eat.
The farmer took pity on the poor man
and after giving him food locked him in
the barn While he summoned the officers
from the prison.
Knaak is an ignorant man and is not
an experienced criminal. The other two
are old-timers in crime and the prison
officials expect that it will be some time
before they are captured.
Knaak will probably be given several
days solitary confinement to pay for one

FLANK MOVEMENT FAILED.
Suspicion that Butler Is Suppressin.
Part of the Bad News

New York, Jan. Dispatches from
London says that the military experts,
the newspapers and the people ir the
street take a gloomy view of the situa-
ton on the Tugela, il being the general
belief that Gen. Buffers thanking move
ment has failed as completely as his
frontal movement of last month"; The
idea prevails that the war office has bad
news which it is keeping from the public
and that the list-Of casualties which was
given out yesterday does not cover the
losses of Gen. Warren from the annoy
ing. fire" spoken Of by Gen. Butler Since
the fanking movement began, on January
10. Gen. Butler has reported 60 killed
and 5S9 wounded and go missing. II is
remembered how his casualty list grew
from day to day after the defeat last
month. and it is feared the losses of the
past few days have been frightful. Gen.
Butler is criticised for the form of his
message, which reads as though he. We're
trying to saddle the blame for the de-

SIX AMERICANS SHOT.
Said to Have Been Executed by Or
der of Ger. Torres

Ell Paso. Tex. Jan. 27.-The mail last
night from Guaymas, Sonora Mexico,
brings the news that u report is cur
rent there that six Americans-David
Cusick, John Eldridge, George Iunt.
Charles Burns, Lon Webster. and Hen
ry Williams-were shot last week. near
the foot of the Bacatete mountains, east
of Guaymas, by order of Gen. Torres,
who is in command Of the Mexican troops
now operating against the Yaqui Indians
IN the Racatete range.
1t is further reported that the matter
was brought to the attention Of the Amer
lean consul at Guaymas. but that the
latter declined to- act. 1t is said the
Mexican troops found the Americans in
friendly intercourse with the Yaquis,
whom the troops have surrounded in the
range. Some of the names are known
here. and are prospectors.
Americans at Guaymas warn all
Americans to keep away from the Yaqui

the fighting at the Tugela. Roberts is in
no way responsible for the operations for
the relief of Ladysmith. for they have
been conducted under advice from the
war office in London. 1t was said some
time ago that Roberts favored leaving
Ladysmth to its fate and marching on
Bloemfontein, the capital of the Free
State. 1t is expected that under Roberts
direction there will be fighting in the
western district soon, the British armies
having been reinforced and. the. plight Of
Kimberley being urgent. The suspense
in London IS quite as trying as at any
time in the past fortnight.
: The Leader says: Gen. Butler is very
sorry to say that the capture of Spiopkop
has been abandoned. So, we dare say,
is Gen. Warren, for it knocks the bottom
out of his tactics. His true tactics were
to move by Actor Homes with weeks

No Lack of Men. "
The Morning Post says: THE Beers
appear to have no lack of men, for 1t
turns out that the affair Of Tuesday at
Chievely was not a British but Boef
reconnaissance, and the Boer efforts
against Ladysmith have increased,
The affair Of Tuesday at Chievely,
was the discovery of unidentified, troops
moving around on the east of Ladysmith
reported from Chievely-troops imagined
to be. British irregulars detached from
Gen. Buffers column to reconnoiter.
1t is Understood that the House Of
Commons will be asked to appropriate
$40 100000 to cover the war expenses up
to March 81. This is in addition TO the
S5O,0O0,0O0 already appropriated.
Politicians talk of multiplying these fig
Eres by two or four to cover the total ex
penses of the war.
French Press Rejoices.
Paris. Jan. 27.-3:40 a. m.-Most OF
the French papers hail with keen salts
faction the announcement that the Brit
ish have abandoned Spionkop. The am
biguous wording of the first dispatch had
led them to declare that the British war
office was keeping back something and
they now insist that this dispatch must
have contained the fact that Sir Charles
Warren had abandoned deposition and
this was suppressed by the war office.
All comment upon this extraordinary
step, and express the opinion that 1T IS
sufficient TO drive any nation TO despair.
The Mat!n even goes so far as to make
this insinuation:
The British government willingly gave
the nation false JOY when it knew it had
the truth. Was il from motives of poll
cy or from other motives? TO what
must we attribute such sharp practices?
Signor Crispi acted thus at the time
of the AbySsinian war. We believe
Lord Salisbury to be a stranger to SUCH
proceedings. which are only applicable if
the direction of affairs is in the uncon-
trolled hands of Mr.. Chamberlain.
