Washington, Nov. 18.-"It has been

luxury, unless reference is made to the
excellence Of the enlisted mems o

enlisted. men with the accommodations
low provided in army transports, 1
.avor continuance OF that luxury. In
ny opinion the transport service needs
10 defense whatever, and no excuse is
offered for it by the department
charged with it's operations. 1 submit

Indianapolis, Ind, NOV. E&.-The po-
lice of this city have uncovered one of
the most sensational Gases OF systemat-
.lc robbery of a Railroad company that
has come to lighs Within recent years.
More thar forty employees. of the Zig

Cleveland, O., came to the city to con-
fer with the detectives. He found evil
dence for the arrest OF railroad men in
different cities between Indianapolis
and Bellefcntaine, O., one in Pittsburg
and ore in Philadelphia. Mr.. kleeman
said most of the stolen goods We're sold
In small towns along the line Of the
railroad. ~.
The police believe that much OF. the
plumber is being destroyed. The news
of the exposure has reached all the
towns along the Big Four lines, giving
the thieves opportunity TO destroy evil
dence. Ten persons are now under
arrest here and will be tried November

Many well to do families of this city
will have to surrender goods %whiehsthey
have in their possession. Stolen. err
.ticles have been traced to several north

persons ignorant of the fac that they
were stolen. Second hand. stores and
many small stores about the city con-
tanned from time to time much of the

Scare at Bocas Del Toro.
Colon, Nov. .16.-Cutters from the
American warships were dispatched to
stop the German steamer Markonan-

Ing a launch towards the harbor.F It
was thought that the Markomannia
was coming from a Colombian port,
but it appears that she had been char
tered at Bocas del Toros to bring the
alcalde Of that port to Colon.
There was a big scare at Bocas del
Toro on the receipt Of news via Fort
Limon, Costa Rica, that the Colombian
government was sending 5000 troops
to retake the port, which had already
declared its allegiance to the new re-
public and the alcalde left on the
Markomannia for Colon for the pur-
pose Of obtaining arms and ammuni-
ton with which to equip 50OFvolunteers
to resist the expected Colombian at
tack. The alcalde, however, has re-
turned to Bocas del Toro to allay the
fears Of the populace n to give as
surance that the landing of Colombian
, troops there will not be permitted.
