Is in Possession of Special Informa-
 tion.

Washington. April 14.-Representa- tive Cochran of Missouri was Satur- day the recipient of the following dis patch dated St. Joseph:
 "I have just come from Lathrop. where I saw the British officers in their British clothes. They have ship ped 120,0G0 horses and mules to South Africa and are hiding behind two ob- scure horse dealers. It looks like q violation of the neutrality laws. Take the matter up in congress. Let me know when you do. R. g. Graves"
 When. asked if this was a violation Of the neutrality laws, MT. Cochran said:
 Yes. most assuredly. and there is no conflict of opinion on this question by laWy-rs and writers on interna- tiCnal law. To sell horses CT other war munitions in the open markets is one thing. and to allow one country at war with another to maintain on American soil military posts for the purchase Of war materials and base of supplies. where they are concentrated to be shipped to the scene of war by the paid officials Of the belligerent, is still an- other thing"
 MT. Cochran will bring this matter before the house at the first opportu- nity. An effort for a rigid congress sional investigation will probably te made if the president does not take it up promptly.
 Mir. Cochran. had a conference with General Pearson of the Boer army, rCW in Washington, who put him in possession of further detailed inforna- ton of the opera Nons of British army agents at LathrCp, Mo-. and New Or leans.

GOT CURTIS AT LAST
Sheriff AuEds In Town Te4te1 day
 With His Famous Prisoner

Sheriff John L. Munds of Tavapai county arrived in town yesterday morn ing with William R. Curtis. alils Piu Wesley, t1e alleged burglar and stage obSer, for whom the authorities CT Yavapai county have been searching for nearly two years The United States authorities at one time joined in the search, for when the stage out O; Hot Springs was robbed the United States mail suffered also. Curtis was located in the C2naraa country about three months ago. where he was driving team for the Greene Consolidated company and going by the name Of Bill Wesley, name he used to bear in Colorado when he was en- gagged in outlawry there some years ago.
 He was arrested at the request Of Sheriff Munds, who obtained Q requi- sition on the governor and went after him, expecting to get him without any delay. The sheriff spent more than two weeks in Mexico thinking that every day would be his last one there The Mexican authorities seemed dis posed to help in every way they could, but there were so many delaying in cidents that two weeks ago the sheriff returned, having been assured that in the course Of time Curtis would be e. ! lVered over to him.
 Soon after the sheriff got back to Prescott he learned that the governor of Sonora was ready to issue an order for the eXtradition of Curtis and he returned to Mexico. where he was held up for another week, for the order had not yet been made out. It was ac complished at last and finally Curtis was landed in the United States. 1 While these dilatory proceedings were going on Curtis gave out the inn pression that he as anxious to get out | Of Mexico as the sheriff was to get nilN out. He said he was willing to waive extradition, but that could not be done in Mexico. It trarspires tkat he did not want to come back. What he wanted was time. His wife in the meantime was staying with him and creating sentiment in official circles in his favor. She had about $620 and with the aid of a Bisbee lawyer was throwing every obstacle in the way of Curtis eXtraditon.
 Alter Sheriff Munds returned the first time Curtis nearly escaped jail by filing off his shackles. lie was intercepted ny the guard just as he was making a rush for freedom On the way back the sheriff stopped over at Bisbee one night with his prisoner and that night someone tried to coirppt the guard by offering him $290 to let Curtis have q chance for his liberty.
 Mrs. Curtis came in on the same train which carried her husband in the custody of the sheriff, but she was hot .'.3laNvsG : to communicate with him. She hung about the jail q greater part of the day yesterday and was al- lowed to see her husband. bus alway under the surveillance of an odif

 POLICE ABSENT
Too Mueh Authority Probable Cause
 Last Weeks Disturbances.

Brussels. April 14.-The day passed here in perfect tranquility. Several meetings were held in the suburbs during the evening, but order was maintained. This fact was mainly due to the conspicuous absence of the pc lice, especially the gendarmerie, whose excess of zeal has been the chief cause of the collisions during the past few days.
 Dispatches received here from mining and industrial regions indicate the ex- istence of a serious situation with re- gard to the strike. This has even ex- tended to the textile workers at Ghert. At Hulk striking quarrymen had an encounter with the gendarmes, in which several men on both sides were injured One gendarme was fatally wounded and another escaped by swim ming the river.
