British War Secretary

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Mr. Brodrick, the

that two dead natives, their handS TIED

Later in his speech Brodrick said Great

Of Taboga Island by

Use Steamer Taken From
Government to Worry
Sailing Vessels.

COLON, Colombia, Thursday, Nov. T.
Following are the details of the capture
by insurgents of the steamer Darien,
which was recently purchased by the
Government from the Darien Gold Min
ing Company at Panama:
- The Darien was dispatched by the Co
Iombian Government, toward the end of
october, to convey rapid-fire gun and d
lar supply OF rifles and ammunition to
the forces now stationed at Aguadulce
II IS rumored that she had on board 5000

er had been ordered TO keep well in sight
OF Chorrera, the headquarters of the in
surgent forces, on her way to Aguadulce
In compliance with this order il appears
the captain of the Darien steamed too
ctose 10 lano wnen in the vicinity of
NnOfrera ana the sUreamer grounded on
z SAND bank in sight of the rebel forces,
Who soon surrounded her with canoes,
open boats, etc, and took possession

Inc rebels, on the rise of the tide, i'm
meolauely ordered the captain to steam

sOUln OF Panama, ana on arriving there
tney signaleo 10 the officer commanding
the military contingent there to come on

prisoner and compelled TO write an or
Ger tor the force under his command TO
embark with all haste with their arms.
In this manner about thirty men and all
the arms and ammunition at Taboga were
captured.
II is said the Government believes that
the captain of the Darien was in the pay
OF the rebels.
The Darien has since been trying to
capture sailing vessels having Govern

JAPAN FAILS TO SELL
HER BONDS IN AMERICA
Mikado's Representatives in This
Country Report the Collapse of
the Project

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 13.-The Japan
Herald says the scheme of the japanese
Government for the acquisition of money
from abroad by undertaking the sale of
public bonds on the American market has
finally ended in a fiasco. AS is well
known, the Government has been at
tempting the introduction of foreign capt.
tai, with a view of undertaking such pub
lie works as are necessary, and it is a
fact that for a time the negotiations with
American capitalists made a favorable
passage, but subsequent to the death of
Mr.. Mckinley the market condition for
the sale of Japanese bonds became dis
couraging. Marquis Ito, who is now in
America, did his best on behalf of the
japanese Government, but, having exact
ing conditions alleged to have been de-
manded by foreign capitalists, he has be-
come compelled to recognize the failure
of his exertions, and Mr.. Takahiri, Japa-
nese Minister in Washington. has like
wise dispatched a telegram to his home
government announcing the total collapse
Of the expected acquisition Of foreign cap
ital.
In view of the hopelessness on the part
of the Government to resume its attempt
on advantageous terms, the authorities
have made up their minds to map out an
other financial programme, but as to the
nature of the fresh scheme nothing has
vet come TO light.

Mystery Surrounding the Killing of
Two Indiana Women Remains
Unsolved

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Nov. 13.-An the
efforts of the entire police and detective
forces of this city to find a clew to the
murderer or murderers of the two wo-
men whose dead bodies were found lying
in bitches by the roadside in opposite
directions from this city yesterday have
proven unavaillng. Several suspects are
under surveillance, but developments in
the murders have not been sufficient to
warrant the police in making arrests.
While it is evident that both victims
were killed about the same hour Tuesday
night, 1t is still believed the women were
slain by the same fiend.
John Kifer, young ra1lroader, was ar
rested as a suspect. He was with Miss
Renner on Tuesday, but Kifer succeeded
in convincing the police that he was in
nocent of the crime. Miss Renner was
the daughter of well-known and highly

w. H. Fiheld was one of the very early
attorneys of this State and one of the
organizers of the Republican party in
california. While he always took a most
active part in the affairs of the party
and of the State, he was never a candi-
date for office, though he might have had
many nominations. He preferred always
to be worker in the ranks of the party.
The deceased attorney was born in
Jackson, Mich, in 1S43 and came to Cali
fOrnia at the very outbreak of the gold
excitement. He settled in San Francisco
and married the daughter of Captain
