FIGHT AT ANY MOMENT.
Government Troops md Rebels at
BOcas del TOro.

Colon, Colombia, Sept. 4.-The Unit
ed Fruit Company's steamer Sunrise,
chartered by Herr Beckman, the Ger
man consul at Bocas del Toro, arrived
here this morning with a view of OBJ
tanning the presence of the United
States gunboat Machias at Bocas del
Toro, where fighting is expected to
begin at any moment.
The government troops have ad-
vanced within a mile of Provision ISL
and where the insurgents are, and are
now occupying a superior position.
Herr Beckman failed to obtain the
presence of the Machias at Bocas del
Toro, as she is needed more urgently
at Colon.
Last night the Colombian govern
ment brought troops, artillery and am
munition by special train from Pana-
ma to Gatun. on the outskirts of Co
lon, owing to the threatening attitude
of the rebels there.
One thousand troops have arrived at
Barranquilla from Honda, destined for
Rio Hacha, where Gen. Pinzon, Colom-
bian minister of war, has lately been
busy mobilizing troops.

ARTHUR HOWARD CAPTURED.
Reputed Slayer of GEN. Lawton in
the Tolls.

Manila, Sept. 4.-Lieut. Hazard of
the Third Cavalry, has brought in here
Arthur Howard, the American deserter
who was recently captured by the lieu
tenant while in command of some Ma
cababe scouts in the island of Mindoro.
He was placed in jail and will shortly
be courtmar tailed.
Howard denies that he was ever an
American soldier. He claims he was
born in Spain, that his father was Eng
lish and his mother Spanish, but that
he espoused the cause of the Filipinos.
In 1896, after peace was declared, he
says, he went to Hong Kong and re-
turned in 1898 as Aguinaldo's chief of
artillery. While in that position, How
ard also declares, he made friends with
many Americans before the insurrec-
ton, including Gen. Greene.
He cast his lot with Aguinaldo at the
time of the rupture with the Ameri-
cans, and he says that he brought in
sixteen American prisoners, under
flag of truce, at Angeles, in Septem-
ber, 1899. Howard denies that he COM
manded the force at San Mateo which
killed Gen. Lawton. He speaks like
an educated Englishman. Lieut. Haz-
zard says he. himself saw Howard
at Angeles in 1899. Two former Cal
ifornia volunteers to-day identified
Howard as a deserter from their regi-
ment, named Valley, of Company A,
who deserted in 1899.

Schley has made request of the Navy
Department that number of witnesses
which he expects to call before the

Admiral Sampson. Some private let
ters have been received, however
rather favorable in tone. One of these
came about a week ago from Mrs.
Sampson to Judge Advocate General
Lemley, Mrs. Sampson having attend
ed to certain correspondence, owing TO
his indisposition. Mrs. Sampson stated
that the admiral was considerably i'm
proved. The official reports from the

Frankfort, KY. Sept. 4.-James How
ard and ex-Secretary of State Caleb
Powers, convicted as conspirators in
the Goebel murder, quarreled in Jail
here this afternoon. Howard threw a
heavy inkstand at Powers, striking
him in the head. Powers was knocked
down and bled profusely.
The only witness was ex-Adjt. Gen.
with the two men. Powers was too i'll
tonight to be seen. Howard, on the
advice of his attorneys, refused to talk.
Howard's new trial will begin here
next Monday and his attorneys have
been in conference here all day.
Powers was unconscious for thirty
five minutes and it was at first

but DIR. Demaree said late to-
night that he could find no
evidence of a fracture. He remained
with the patient until a late hour.
Symptoms of conclusion developed and
a slight paralysis of the left arm and
side appeared. DIR. deMaree would not
state how serious he thought the
wound might prove, but intimated that
he considered his condition serious.
Col. ]. h. Dixon. assistant adjutant
general under the administration of
ex-Gov. Taylor, who had just re-
turned from Eastern Kentucky, where
he collected considerable money for
the defense of both Powers and How
ard, was in the room with the men at
the time of the trouble. A controversy
between the two men arose as to df-
vision of the money. Both grew angry
and Howard seized an iron inkstand
and hurled it at Powers with terrific
force. Powers was struck on the side
of the head. A branch OF the temporal
artery was severed and cash of four
inches laid open.
Both men have been in Jail more
than year and apparently have been
the best of friends. Howard. talking TO
Col. Dixon afterward. expressed regret
that the affair occurred.

HOUNDS ON THEIR TRAIL.
They Are Trucking Express Rob-
hers Near Ey1au.

St. Louis, Sept. 4.-Only meagre in
formation has been received at the Of
fees in this city of Vice President and
General Manager Britton of the st.
Louis Southwestern road Cotton
Belt) regarding the robbery of pas
senger train last night near Eylau
(Texas) station.
After blowing open the express safe
with dynamite. it is stated, the rob-
bers secured two sacks of loot. This
they transferred to an engine which
had been detached from the train. En-
gineer Henderson was compelled to
put out the headlight and the robbers
took charge of the engine. Two of
the robbers assured Henderson they
knew as much about running the en-
gine as he did. The engine was run
south at full speed, followed by En-
gineer Henderson on a nandcar, which
he had secured from nearby section
house. Henderson came up with his
engine about four miles from the scene
cf the robbery. The machine had been
deserted by the robbers, who, the en-
gineer believes were all railroaders.
The bandits had escaped into the
dense woods surrounding the track at
this point. Henderson ran his engine
back, coupled the train together and
the run southwark was resumed after
several hours delay. The robbers had
not molested the passengers, nor did
they attempt to break open the mail
car.
The train left st. Louis Monday
evening. At a. m. a posse of horse
men under the sheriff of Boyd county
left TeXarkana to scour the woods on
both sides of the track. They were fol-
lowed at 2;30 a. m. by another posse on
an engine.
Bloodhounds kept at the penitentiary
at Rusk, Texas, for pursuing escaped
convicts were Immediately taken to the
scene of the robbery on special train.
Everything that can be done to cap
ture the robbers, the Cotton Belt Of
ficials say, will be done.
Engineer Henderson was unable to
give definite description of the gang.
They were all closely masked, but he
was sure they were young men.
