FLIGHT is RENEWED.
Tracy and Merrill Again Escape Posse and
Are Away-One of Posse Shot.

Vancouver, Wash June 17-Appar-
emily undisturbed by the presence in
their immediate vicinity of new army
of pursuers, Tracy and Merrill yester-
day held up another farmer for the ne
cessaries of life, to-wit: clothes and
provisions, and selecting the vulner-
able spot in the guard line that was
thrown out to head them off, went on
their way, presumably rejoicing. The
feature of the pursuit yesterday was
the shooting of a member of the posse,
by another member, who shot in the
belief that he was going to bring down
one of the convicts. The fugitives are
now in the tall timber. in the neighbor-
hood of Lewis river. Guard Carson is
on his way from Walla Walla with
fresh set of bloodhounds, and will ar
rive this morning to join in the chase.
The volunteer members of Company G,
w. N. g., are guarding such farm
houses as Tracy and Merrill are likely
to select for food this morning, and
sheriffs, detectives, posses, citizens and
guards will again hit the trail and start
in full cry ON the fresh scent radiated
from the clothes the game left at the
ranch of Henry Tiede, four miles from
Vancouver, where they offed with the
old and onned with the new yesterday
morning. ...-

NOW IN WASHINGTON.
Conviets Tracy aud Merrill Cross Columbia
Near Yancouvst

NSAT SAHCOuVeE.
Vancouver, Wash, June 16.-Addins
the theft OF another team to their
already long list of crimes, Tracy and
Merrill, the desperate outlaws, between
Friday evening and last night, made
their way through Clackamas county,
across Multnomah from the Clackamas
line to point opposite Fishers Land
ing, crossed the Columbia, and now, a
week from the time of their escape
from the penitentiary at Salem, are in
the neighborhood of Fourth Plain,
Clark county, Washington, with an
other posse on their track, another
sheriff in charge of it, and three detect
ives from Portland as reinfolcements.
As it was in the beginning, it is now
they will either be captured or killed
or make their escape. Merrill is now
on ground with which he is thoroughly
familiar, having been born in CLARK
county and brought up in Cowlitz, and
is thus better situated tnan while in
Oregon. The country is much the
same, formed of low-lying hills, cut by
IaEiAos, anu oSorsIo"A ny uuueFDTusn
and scrub frs which afford the best
kind of cover. AS the men are armed
with 80 80 rifles and have an abundance
of ammunition, it does not seem likely
that the desire to capture them will
bum any more fiercely in the breasts OF
their new set of pursueFs than it did in
those of the posse that laid down its
arms and gave up the fight at Barlow
Friday afternoon.

PENSIONS FOR MANY
INDIAN WAR VETERAN BILL is
PASSED BY HOUSE.
It Now Goes to the President for His Ap.
proval and Signature His Influence q
Great Factor in Securing Passage of the
Measure Oregon Delegation Is More
Than Pleased

Washington, June 1S.-The house
has passed the Indian war veteran bill,
for which the Oregon delegation has
been struggling so many years. The
bill is Identical with that which passed
the senate on February IS last, except
for an unimportant verbal amendment.
As passed, the bill makes Immediately
applicable the provisions of the Black
hawk pension act. Those who will be
rewarded are the surviving officers and
enlisted men, including marines, mill
tia and volunteers of the military and
naval service of the United States, who
served for 80 days or more, and were
honorably discharged under the United
States military, state territorial or pro-
visfonal authorities in the Cayuse war
of 1887, 1S4S-49, on the Pacific coast,
the Oregon and Washington Indian
wars from 1851 to 1856, and numerous
other Indian wars. The bill also
makes provision for the widows OF such
officers and enlisted men, provided that
such widows have not remarked, and
provided further that where there is no
record of enlistment or muster into the
service of the United States, in any of
the wars mentioned in the act, the re-
cord of pay by the United States shall
be accepted as full and satisfactory
proof of such enlistment and service;
and provided, further, that all con-
tracts heretofore made between the ben
eficiaries under this act and pension
attorneys and claim agents are declared
null and void
The bill will now go back to the
senate, where the amendment of the
house will be concurred in, and the
measure will then 60 to the president
for his signature. The fact that he has
heretofore Endorsed the bill insures his
early approval.

BOER LOSSES LIGHT.
Commandant Kemp Fives Some Interesting
Figures.

Kimberley, June 19.-Com mandant
Kemp, General Delarey's lieutenant,
who surrendered at Mafeking June II,
has arrived here. In an interview
he gave some interesting figures re-
garding the war. He said that about
$4,000 Beers were in the field at the
outset and that only l 500 out of 1000
available fought at Colenso, where the
Boer losses we're not heavy. At Spion-
aop, where the British suffered so
much, the Beers had only So men
killed. In one of the fights outside
Ladysmith, the Beers had 56 killed
and over 100 wounded. Their losses
we're heavier at Brankspruit and Vlak-
enfontein. The Beers were often wor-
ried by the British shrapnel and lyd-
dite guns, but when entrenched they
did not fear the shells. Members of
the Boer forces often managed to get
into johannesburg, Krugersdorp and
Pretoria, securing valuable inforna-
ton, and frequently crossing the block
house line al night. Commandant
Kemp did not allow the Beers of his
commando to wear khahi, the British
uniform.

MILITIA AT PAWTUCkET.
Will Not Be Withdrawn Until Tranquility Is
Entirely Restored.

Pawtucket, R. l., June IS. - When
in the opinion of 10 prominent citizens,
including Mayor Fitzgerald and Chief
of Police Rice, tranquility has been
restored in place of mob rule, the
militia ordered here last week by Gov
ernor Kimball in connection with the
street car strike will be withdrawn.
This conclusion was reached at meet
ing between Governor KimbalI, Briga-
dier General Tanner and so business
men at the state armory today.
With the exception of three cases OF
stone throwing, the day was quiet.
Cars were operated on all local lines in
this city during the day and in Central
Falls as usual, but were withdrawn to-
night.

South Bend, WASH, June 16.-Paul
Under wood, accused of the murder of
his three-weeks-old baby, was captured
about $50 O'Clock. Saturday morning
near here. From the start the officers
have been trailing him, Deputy Sheriff
Markham, of this county, w. S. Kind
red and 6. L. Houk, all experienced
woodsmen, keeping the trail. while the
others sought to head the fugitives off
by beating the woods ahead. AS usual,
they started out at daybreak this morn
ing, and at the hour stated Sheriff Cud-
ihee saw Underwood come down a hill,
and the latter, evidentlyssspying the
officer, dropped into the tall grass on
the tide land at the bottom of the hill,
but gave himself up promptly when
Cudihee came up to him. He was ap-
parently making his way to Cedar
river, and had about half of his supply
of provisions left when captured. He
was placed in the custody of Sheriff
Rqney, of this county, in whose charge
he was brought to this city. He was
taken to barber shop for shave and
then to the Jail. His first wish was
for glass of beer, which was not graf
flied. He was not fully satisfied with
his quarters, and sent word to Sheriff
Cudihee that he would like cleaner
quarters.
Underwood seemed greatly surprised
when told that his wife protested all
connection with the crime. He says
she helped him to do away with the
baby, but that it was dead before it was
thrown into the water.

FIVE SOLDIERS BOLOED.
Act OF Filipino insurgents in the Island of
Luzon.

Manial, June 1S.-Friendly natives
in Manila say a report is current among
their countrymen that five soldiers of
the Sixth cavalry who were captured
by insurgents May 80 have been boloed
to death near Teresa, in Morong prov,
ince, Luzon. This report has not been
confirmed by the American authorities
of that district.
Twenty-Five members of band of in
surgents who were captured while fight
ing with General Lukban, in Samar,
took the oath of allegiance to the Unit
ed States and were subsequently re-
leased. Four members of the band
were killed in the engagement which
resulted in the capture of their COM
panions. The 25 who have sworn al
legiance have seen General Chaffee and
have promised to give him all the as
sistance in their power in the work OF
maintaining the present peace condi-
tions in Samar. A committee has been
sent to Samar to appoint sSenor Loren
tee governor of the island and to estab
lish civil government there.
1t is expected that general amnesty
will be declared by July 1. This
amnesty will result in the release of the
Filipino prisoners now ON the Island of
Guam.
The prospects on the Island of Leyte
for a speedy termination of armed re-
sistance there are bright. Since the
ports of the island were closed surren-
ders of insurgents to the native con-
stabualry have occurred daily.

BOERS ALL YIELD.
Surrenders Are Proceeding With the Greatest
Good WilI-Scouts Rewarded

London. June 1s.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from South Africa show
that the surrenders of Beers are pro.
ceeding with the greatest good will.
The total of those who have already
surrendered numbers $500, and the
British are extending every possible
kindness to the men who come in. The
appearance of General De Wet at the
camp at Wynburg was the signal for a
great display of enthusiasm. When he
arrived at camp General De Wet was at
once surrounded by thousands of Boer
men, women and children, who clam
ored and struggled to shake the hand OF
their hero. He warmly applauded the
staunch support that the women had
given the burghers during the war,
which he said had greatly encouraged
the men in the field. Continuing he
recommended his hearers to be loyal to
the new government and said: --
perhaps it is hard for you to hear
this from my mouth. but God has de-
cided thus. fought until there was
no more hope of upholding our cause,
and however it may be, the time has
now come to lay down our arms. AS
Christians, God now demands that we
be faithful to our new government.
Let us submit to his decision"
Neither General De Wet nor General
Steyn, ex-president of the Orange Free
State, was wounded during the war.
General De Wet has not seen his wife
for two years.
The concentration camp will be con-
verted into supply depots to provide the
retul ming burghers with the means to
rebuild and restock their farms. The
wives and families of the Beers will, if
desired, be maintained at the expense
of the government while the burghers
are preparing their farms for their re-
ception. Two thousand of the native
scouts who fought upon the British side
during the war will Immediately be
disbanded, and each scout will be pro-
vided with pony and enabled to re-
turn to his farm.
