List of the Accused.

Pekin. February 5.-The Chinese pleni-
potentiaries, Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang. had n protracted meeting this
morning with the foreign ENJOYS. Twelve
names Of prominent Chinese officials were
submitted with the request that China
keep faith with the powers and punish
the persons named commensurately with
their offenses.
The Chinese plcnipotentiarieS replied
that Chna's earnest hope was TO carry
out fully the demands of the powers and
that she felt sure the punishment which
would be iuilicted would be satisfactory.
1t was discovered that two out of twelve
OF the persons named were already dead.
In certain cases the Chinese plenipOt en-
Jiaries gave reasons why the punishment
inflicted should DO Punishment and not
DEATH asserting that. in these cases. they
particularly desired ban-shment because
the persons in question were SO closely re
lated To the throne.
After a long conversation on the subject
of punishment il was decided that the
foreign ENJOYS should draw up q full list
of all accused officials. both national and
provincial. with indictments specifying
the guilt Of each and a statement of the
punishment required which would then
be presented to the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries for definite action.
Ii Hung Chang. who Is very weak from
his recent illness. had to be carried i'll and
out Of the British legation. He is unable
to walk. but his head seems as clear as
ever.
The foreign ENJOYS were impressed with
the evident desire of both Prince Ching
and Ii Hung Chang to come to terms.
Prince Ching asked whether. provided
China showed by every means In her
power desire to carry out the terms of
the joint note. the foreign troops would
leave Pekin.
The foreign envoys replied that this was
a subject they could not discuss beyond
SAYING that. If everything were satisfac-
tory. they believed the powers would be-
gin to withdraw the troops early in the
coming spring. but this depends largely

Traitors Work for Insurgents.

Manila, February 6.-Thcodorio Carran-
"a prominent and wealthy Spanish
merchant and hemp and cocoanut buyer,
was arrested this afternoon charged with
furnishing supplies to aid the insurgents.
Carranza Is also a partner of ID. Nj. Car
man. an American contractor and owner
of boats, who had considerable trans
portation contracts with the government.
The provost marshal and secret service
officers have been watching a number
of merchants and transportation men
for sometime past. The police officials
have had a long interview with Carranza
and the arrest of several merchants Is
expected to result.
At the close of the interview between
the police and Carranza the latter was
placed in confinement In the Anda street
police station, Carman was arrested to-
night and, after considerable question
ing. was sent to the same station.
Tho men are charged with conducting
the business of buying copra from insur-
gent presidentes at Pagsanjan, in the
eastern extremity of Laguna de Ray,
and also with paying assessments for
the insurgent cause.
Furnish Insurgents Uniforms.
The evidence adduced tonight was to
the effect that the prisoners have sup
plies of the striped clothing, used for in
surgcnt uniforms. Both the insurSent
presidentes who claimed to have dealt
with CarranZa and Carman are now i'm
prisoned in Manila. one of them, Fa-
bella, fears hanging, because he was
captured as an insurgent after having
sworn allegiance to the United States.
He made strong statements tending to
implicate Carman and CarranZa and con-
frming the statements of Reyes, who be-
came presidentc of Pagsanjan, after Fa-
bella's arrest.
The police have letters and verbal
statements from Carman, which
sought Fabella'S release, assert
ing that he was a patriotic American
subject According to papers found, both
the presidentcs are culpable insurgents.
CarranZa and Carman admit trading
with insurgents, but deny contributing
to their cause or furnishing them with
supplies.
Carmen Is one of the best-known Amer
leans in Manila. He has a monopoly of
carrying goods going through the custom

made a great deal of money. He pos

Married in Haste.

Courted, married and deserted IN
three weeks is the sad yet romantic
story of pretty Miss Laura Graves, OF
Weston, who is now searching for her
runaway husband in the towns along
the Monongahela river. To a CORE
spondent she gave in full the story OF
her experience. Briefly told it is this:
Three weeks ago a man represent
ing himself to be Col. Thomas Aubin,
and in the employ Of savings and
loan society of New York, came to
Weston. The hotels being filed, ne
obtained lodging at the home OF Miss
Graves. He was apparently about 80
years old, with jet black hair and an
unusually handsome face and ply
sique. At once he seemed to be IN
fatuated with Miss Graves and, claim
ing to have been with the United
States Army in the Philippines as
colonel of a regiment, he entertained
Miss Graves with thrilling accounts of
his military experiences, laying stress
on his assistance to General Lawton
in several engagements.
These war stories worked upon the
tender passions of Miss Graves and
were a fitting complement to his
handsome appearance and arlstocratic
demeanor. In one week he had asked
Miss Graves to marry him and she
gave her consent. Her parents OBJ
jected at first, desiring to know more
of the history of Colonel Aubin. He
finally overcame the objections and
the couple were married.
A week later they left Weston and
started on supposed long honeymoon
trip, first going to Brownsville, Pa,
river town 40 miles north of Morgan
town. He gave her some handsome
presents and they took quarters at the
best hotel in Brownsville. They were
there just five days. Colonel Aubin
gave check in payment for his bill
and the couple went to Pittsburg'
Next day constable followed with a
warrant charging the Colonel with
forgery. Upon the pretext of finding
a brother from whom to get some
money he lodged the officer and has
not since been seen.
