from THE SUN Correspondent at La Guayra.
LA GUAYRA. Pee. 23.-The Red d liner
expected. reached La Guayra early this
morning under the escort OF the American
gunboat Marietta. She at once proceeded
10 her wharf and landed her mails and
passengers
She Immediately began to discharge
her cargo. at which work she has been
engaged all day. The reason for the haste
in unloading the steamer was due to the
fact that her commander was served with
notification from the allied feet that the
Caracas must leave the port before night.
This notification was at first interpreted
a. meaning that the steamer could return
tomorrow and finish discharging. but sub
saquently it was explained to her captain
that he must leave for good.
II will he impossible for the steamer
to discharge all her cargo within the pre-
scribed time. and she will. therefore, take
s2s packages out with her when she sails.
Commercial men and the members Of
the American colony think that the action
OF the British and Germans ia very harsh.
For time yesterday 1t looked a. II there
might be trouble over the Caracas. The
Captain OF the Italian cruiser Giovanni
Bausan, which was the only warship en-
forcing the blockade Of this port, notified
the American Consul and Commander
Diehl Of the United Statee gunboat Marietta
that the Caracas could not enter the harbor
when abe got here
The action OF the Captain was considered
illegal and hostile to American interests.
Commander Diehl and the legation ofhcers
at Caracas. who had received protest
from the Red b Line. took vigorous action
toward the Italian officer and obtained
permission for tho American steamship
TO enter the harbor.
The British warships have captured two
schooners. the Maralia Luisa. coming
from Hguerote, and the Castor. from
Maracaibo. Both vessels belong to Ger
man Of the name of Stolk, and they were
carrying goods and property owned by

The German cruiser Gazelle appeared
here yesterday and left Immediately. The
British cruiser Tribune also left. towing
captured Venezuelan schooners.

Cudihee, without the loss of a mo-
ments time, also repaired to the
place, and in the gathering gloom the
men distributed themselves around
their unsuspecting quarry, Cudihee
secreted himself in front of the Van.
Horn home and the three other vol
unteer guards took up positions in a
semi-circular position on the oppo-
site side of the road Neither had
they long to wait, for hardly had the
men secreted themselves when Tracy,
walking midway between an aged
rancher, who he had held up at the
point of his gun and forced him to
drive toward Fremont, and another
man who mysteriously disappeared
after the shooting, left the house
from the front door. What followed
is best told in the words of Mr..
Knight, who participated in the thrill
ing encounter which Immediately fol-
lowed.

the fact that the team was hitched
in plain view of the road and direct
ly in front of the gate. | was hiding
within six feet of the team Tracy
and the two men came out the des-
perado walking between the two.
They approached the horses from the
side opposite where | was concealed
and passed within six feet of where
| was crouching. 1t had grown dark,
so that it was only a matter of con-
| lecture as to the exact position occu-
pied by the three men. Breese arose
and called out, Drop that gun, Tracy
just as the middle man passed around
where I was concealed. No sooner
had the words left his lips than two
shots rang out in quick succession
and by the flash of the last one !
saw Breese reel and fall to the
ground, l did not know at that time
that one of the bullets had also
found target in Rawley who could
see by the flash had stood within a
few feet of Breese. | am certain that
Breese also fired before he fell to
the ground. Here l arose from my
place of concealment and fired two
shots at the retreating murderer. AS
Breese fell to the ground Cudihee
jumped a fence behind which he had
been stationed and fired two shots
in quick succession at Tracy, who
was fleeing with all speed for the
brush''
Tracy went in an easterly direction
toward Ravenna park and the dark
ness stood him well in hand, for once
in the shaow of the dense underbrush

Washington, July 3.-The president
has formally declared the restoration
of peace in the Philippine archipela-
go, and has placed the islands under
complete civil control, and has ex-
tended general amnesty to the Fill
pinos who have been in rebellion.
These three things, marking one
of the most important chapters in the
Philippine history, were accomplished
through the issue of three separate
orders and proclamations, one by the
president over his own signature, ex-
tending amnesty one by Secretary
Root, by the presidents orders, re-
lieving General Chaffee; and third,
which takes the shape of a general
order, addressed to the entire army
of the United States, in which Sec
retary Root takes occasion to express
the presidents high appreciation of
the work it has accomplished both
in Cuba and in the Philippines

WRECK ON MONTANA CENTRAL

Great Falls, July 3.-The heavy
rain which fell continuously from
o'clock last evening until late this
afternoon in this vicinity was respon-
sible for two wrecks, four washouts
and the death of two men on the
Montana Central The men killed
are Charles Peck, engineer on the
westbound freight, and William Nc
Cameron, fireman on the same train.
The wreck which resulted in the
death of the two men occurred one
mile and a half east of Portage, and
II miles east of Great Falls The train
was travelling slowly when it rounded
a curve and struck the washout,
about 5:15 this morning. Almost on
the instant the engineer saw the
danger his engine plunged into the
hole. The tender piled upon the cab,

arose Tracy again fired twice, and
Raymond who had just crouched to
shoot fell backward and against An
derson, and dropped to the ground
stone dead. AS Raymond reeled back,
Sefrit fired at Tracy, and the convict
turned his attention to him. Sefrit
fell to the ground and again fired at
the convict. Tracy shot twice in
quick succession at his assailant
Anderson, in the meantime had
plunged through the brush to flank
the convict. He met Nelson and
Brewer. Before they could move a
STEP Tracy fired three times and a
second later Williams crawled out of
the brush on his hands and knees
into. the opening around the cabin,
with blood apparently streaming
from every point, He was shot three
times under the heart and even as he
appeared to view lurched to one side
and stretched out unconscious. AS
Williams collapsed, Tracy disap-
peared.
The whole adventure had hardly
taken more than two or three min
utes. Raymond lay dead, still clutch
ing his revolver; Williams had his
gun still firmly grasped in his hand.
The smoke of the battle had not
drifted from the scene before the sur
vivors were working over the dead
and wounded Anderson carried
Williams up the railroad track, to a
place where Brewer and Raymond
had tied horse, and he took the
wounded man to the hotel at Bothel
After leaving the stump, Tracy
fled through the forest like a hunted
animal. The pursuers had no chance
to follow him. Deep underbrush
grows between trees, with here and
there cowpath winding in and out
He went along one of these until he
struck the road which follows al
most the same route from Bothel to
Pannina. He walked toward the lat.
The farmer was travelling in his wa
gon toward his home, north of this

and said: 81 am deputy sheriff and
one of the men on Tracy's trail
must go to Seattle at once and need
your wagon. You will drive me
toward the city as quickly as posi-
BILE. There is not time for delay
He spoke quickly, but without the
least trace of excitement He hardly
gave the farmer time to answer be

side and ordered Johnson to dive
on. The last heard of tho, they

TWO COMPANIES OF STATE MILITIA ORDERED OUT
TO Aid the Posse Its Unsuccessful Efforts Kill

Wayne and then Routed Force Of Policemen in
Killing Two

Seattle, July 3.-This was a red
letter day in the annals Of convict
Tracy He killed Policeman e. e.
Breeze and wounded fatally Neil
Rawley in the city limits in the even
ing, after having murdered Deputy
Sheriff John Raymond of Snohomish
county and probably fatally wounded
Sheriff John Williams of King county
earlier in the day In his hopeless
flight for safety he had no considera-
tion for human life. Tracy probably
covered 90 miles Thursday. He was
first encountered by a Seattle posse
near Bothel at $3.50 in the afternoon,
Evidently the convict caught sight
of his pursuers before they saw him
and he had taken commanding po-
sition in a clump of huge frs and
opened fire before he was discovered.
He fired five shots in all Raymond
was instantly killed by one of the
first rife balls. Another struck the
raised rifle held by Williams and
split it into four parts and entered
the deputy sneriff's breast. He will
live, it is believed at a late hour to-
night.
Governor Mcbride of this state,
who is in the city with adjutant gen
eral of the state national guards, is
taking the keenest interest in the
chase. He has announced a reward
of $2,500. This with others offered
by relatives of the victims of Tracy S
rife brings the six rewards offered
to total of $5,600. The governor
further than offering the reward, has
ordered General Drain to send two
companies of the state militia to aid
the posses, the members of which are
securing all the northern suburban
territory of Seattle. Sheriff Cudihee
returned to this city at 2:30 O'Clock
this afternoon. Friday morning a
large number of deputies will be re

They heard that Tracy had been seen
near Wayne. Here the party decided
to make search, as it was an idea,

railroad track. 1t bore the fresh i'm

cabin. The men marched toward the
cabin with their rifles and revolvers
ready for action, the rain falling al
most in torrents. Suddenly from &
stump about 80 feet away, Tracy's
face and neck shot into view, at the
same moment he flung his 30-30 Win
chester into position across the
stump. The report came almost
simultaneously with his appearance
He had nred pointblank at Anderson
