MISS STONES. CAPTORS.
Porte Claims Cnptives Did Not Give
Enough Information


Constantinople, Sunday, Aug. 31.-
The report circulated in the United
States by a news agency that the
Turkish government had addressed an
abrupt note to United States Minister
Leishman, saying that it absolutely
refused to further discuss the respon-
sibility for the capture by brigands of
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the American
missionary, and a companion in Sep
tember 1901, as the outrage was not
committed on Turkish territory, is not
true.
the Porte's responsibility is indisputa-
BILE, since the capture, payment of the
ransom and liberation of the captives
all occurred in Turkish territory. The
correspondence on the subject of meas
ures taken for the discovery and ar
rest of the brigands continues, and the
insufficiency of efforts displayed by the
Turkish authorities has been the sub
ject of complaint by the United States
legation.
The Porte is following its usual
course of trying by every means. to
evade the demands of the legation for
the capture and punishment of the
guilty persons, alleging among other
reasons that the captives, when re-
leased, did not furnish sufficient in
formation to enable the authorities to
find the brigandS.

serves of the Seventy-fourth, Seventy

This afternoon Hunter shot at man
who was passing along the beach, but

and Hunter shot him from ambush.
Both his eyes were destroyed by load
of buckshot.
Three other patrolmen were sent to
effect Hunters capture, and in an at
tempt to carry the house by storm,
Patrolman Arthur Brill received a load
of buckshot in the face, destroying one
eye. The charge struck him full in
the face and chest. He, too, is likely
to die.
Soon after the police had posted the
guard. Hunter opened fire on them.
Four officers were wounded.

on both sides, Hunter set fire to the
house, or ii caught fire. Hunters
wife ran out of the front door and at

rear, but he was run down and cap
tured

HELD UP THE. MESSENGER.
How Train Robbers Went Through
Express Car

Nashville, Tenn. Sept. 1.-Early to-
night, between this city and Franklin,
Tenn, eighteen miles south of here, the
local safe on the express car of the
Louisville and Nashville through train,
north-bound, was rified of it's contents
by two masked men, while Express
Messenger A. B. Battle, covered by a
revolver, stood in the corner of the
car with his hands above his head.
The robbery occurred just after dark,
and according to the messengers own
announcement. one of the principals
was Gus Hyatt, who recently made a
sensational escape from the Tennessee
penitentiary here while serving a fif-
teen-year term for train robbery Ex-
press officials estimate the loss at
about $500, it being in packages taken
in since leaving Montgomery, Ala. The
two big through safes were not mo-
Tested.
The men forced the messenger to sig
nal the train to stop just before it was
entering the South Nashville yards and
quietly took their departure. No posi-
tive clue as to the robbers, or the Ill
rection they took after leaving the
=
the police are hard at work on the
case
The story of the robbery, as told by
Messenger Battle, is substantially as
follows:
I'VE pulled out of Franklin at 6:45,
forty minutes late, and l began to pre-
pare to check up my business for re-
port at Nashville. I had opened the
safe and was in front of it, when 1
~
| looked into the barrel of a big re-
volver, held by a man with a red hand
kerchief tied over his face, holes be-
ing cut for eyes, nose and mouth.
Get up and hold up your hands,
he said, Or 1 will put a hole in your
head
Standing behind him was another
man wearin& black handkerchief
over his face, and also having me COW
cred with his pistol.
Il stood up and he ordered me to
stand in the corner of the car with
my back to him and my hands above
my head, saying, If you dare turn
around, I'll shoot. Keep your hands
up.'"
Il didn't look around to see If he
had his gun on me, but obeyed him.
Both men had sacks attached to their
belts and 1 could hear them putting
the packages away. The man who
did all the talking said once, Hurry
up George, we are getting close to
Nashville Finally, he called me to
pull the bell cord, but not to look
around. 1 obeyed, but the signal was
not answered, and with an oath he
ordered me to pull it again. This
time the train slowed down, but l
don't know exactly when the men got
off
Finally the trainmen came to see
what the trouble was and 1 told them
of the hold-up.
THE man who did the talking was
about feet and 10 inches tall and
weighed perhaps 100 pounds. When or
dering me to pull the bell cord he said
Tell them you saw Gus Hyatt
Before they got off they made me
put out the lights and then stand in
the corner again. The man who said
he was Hyatt had on overalls and a
blue Jacket, and wore a black SLOUGH
hat. His companion was taller and
thinner. He wore jeans trousers, a
blue flannel shirt and blue and black
cap. can't say how they entered my
car, as l had my back to them"

OIL YMPIA MADE A DASH.
Ran Into Woods Hole and Seized
Communication stations.

Communication stations.
Woods Hole. Mass, Sept. 1.-The
United States cruiser Olympia dashed
into this port this forenoon, landed a
force and seized ali telegraph, tele-
phone and cable stations, thereby cut
ting off all communication with Mar
tha's Vineyard and Elizabeth Island
or course the seizure and the de-
struction of Geographic and cable IA
ciities were figurative, and 1t required
the decision of an umpire to make
plain whether or not the point attack
ed by Admiral Higginson had been
won.
AS soon as the landing was made.
the telegraph and telephone offices were
entered by sufficient force to have de-
stroyed the property, or at least the
instruments, and at the same time a
boats crew had located the cables
with graphing hooks and held them a
sufficient period to have allowed for
the cutting of them. there seemed to
have been no question that the move
had been entirely successful.
The Olympia appeared off this port
suddenly early this morning, and i'm
mediately two boats put off toward
shore. One was a launch and the
other a whaleboat, and in them was
a detachment under Lieut. l.. M
Everhardt. The launch landed here,
while the whaleboat lay off shore and
at once began graphing for the cable.
The men under Lieut.. Everhardt rush
ed to the Office of the Martha's Vine
yard Telegraph Company and then to
the telephone station and carried out
their orders to make the seizure. Hav-
ing accomplished this work, they re-
turned to their launch, Joined the
whaleboat and returned to their ship.
This move cut off the only commun-
ication with the islands of Nantucket
and Marthas Vineyard, which are
very important observation stations.

Holding 1t Retired.
Block Island, r. l., Sept. 1.-The
Beacon Hill signal and wireless tele-
graph station. established by the
army in connection with the extensive
war maneuvers, was captured by the
fleet representing the enemy, under
command of Rear Admiral Higginson,
just after o'clock this morning. The
station was abandoned after a bonn
bardment of two hours and a quarter
by the battleships, and the guard es-
capped before a superior force of ma
rines, which had landed under cover
of fire from the vessels at Great Salt
Pond harbor. Eight hundred marines
are now holding the station and
guarding the approaches, while the
fleet is anchored off shore.
1t was scarcely midnight when the
patrol of the Block Island life-saving
station discovered the fleet off the
eastern side of the island. The signal
was at once given, and the men con-
sidered an attack imminent. They
had four hours leeway.
At AIS the battleships ran in and
opened fire. The range raked the
Great Salt Pond and the Beacon Hill
station. The reverberation shook the
island to it's base. The firing was
continued until $50, when a collier
and dispatch boat entered the har-
Dor and landed a force of men. Be-
fore the attack of this detachment, the
station having been reduced by the
previous bombardment. the men at
the station made their escape.
The landing force of 800 was divided
and squads were stationed on each
side of the breakwater and at other
points along the shore while an ann
pie force was sent to occupy the Bea-
con Hill signal station. AS the feel
lay off shore seventeen vessels could
/ be counted, including GOLFERS.

What German Correspondent Snys
of War I'm the Philippines.

What a German Correspondent Says
of War in the Philippines.
Berlin, Sept. IA correspondent of
the Frankfurter Zeitung, writing
from Manila. replies to the charges
of cruelty on the part of the Ameri-
can army appearing in European
newspapers. He says:
Perhaps no other nation, except the
United States, would have had the pa
tience to meet the stubborn resistance
of the Filipinos in Samar for two long
years with such humanity as, upon
the whole, has been the case. 1t is
not to be wondered at that the Ameri-
can leaders finally let their gall run
over at the treacherous tricks played
upon them and adopted sharper
measures. OF course, some excuses
occurred, but it is highly inadmissa BILE
to select these few cases and serve
them to the public as typical of Amer
lean war-making."
The correspondent also emphasis the
injustice in the expectation that the
Americans will, In every case, observe
the rules of civilized warfare while
fighting such a foe"
The writer praises the political
shrewdness. combined with modera-
ton, Of making surrendered insurgent
officers governors of provinces"

gercd the strikers.
Wilkesbarre. Pa. Sept IAN extra
guard was placed at all of the colleries
of the Kingston Coal Company. Ed
wardsville, to-day. The strikers have
been in an angry mood since Saturday,
because one of the guards at No. 4
mine is alleged to have made the re-
mark that he hoped the mines would
keep closed until the strikers became
so hungry they would have to eat their
children William Williams, the super
intendent of the mine, has promised
the strikers that il it can be proved
that such a remark was made he will
discharge the guilty man at once.
The authorities are investigating the
fire which destroyed the barn of David
Davis at Edwardsville last Saturday
night. Davis is a coal and iron police
man and the striking miners, 1t is al
legged, made threats against him. 1t is
now believed that the barn was set on
fire.. The fire communicated to an adj
joining barn and both structures were
destroyed.
