New YOrk's Superintendent Of Com
bustibIes of Opinion the "Mafa
Affair." Was Not Hoax.

NEW YORK, May 10.-The police, so far,
have failed to solve the mystery surround
Ing the leaving of box of dynamite on the
Cunard line dock yesterday. There is a
diversity of opinion among the officials as
TO whether the matter was intended to be a
hoax not, but all agree that the possi-
bilities of a great explosion and a great
loss of life were many.
Superintendent George Z. Murray, of the
Bureau of Combustibes. said to-day that
there were no detonating caps attached to
the dynamite sticks, and that without these
caps 1t was not likely the dynamite would
have exploded from a fuse. He says, how
ever. that if the box had been given a
sudden jar at the time the fuse burned
down to the dynamite, an explosion might
have resulted He also said that he had
experimental with the clock work, and
concluded that it had run about five hours
when found, and that it still had about
ing lever. He does not believe hoax was
intended.
Police Commissioner Greene said to-day
that it had been suggested to him that the
whole thing was hoax, but that the sug-
gestion would not divert him from his pur-
pose of having the matter sifted TO the bot
tom. This is too grave matter he said,
Ito be considered lightly, although it be a
hoax. | shall try to find the person or per-
sons who placed the dynamite on the pier.
The offense is punishable b. an imprison-
ment of twenty years, and to prevent re-
should be made of some of the participants
in the affair"

MANILA, May 10-Captain Pershing and
his column have returned to Camp Wears,

the country east of Lake LanaO The col
umn experienced no opposition after the
fighting at Taraca. The prisoners captured
at Taraca took the oath of allegiance to
the United States and were released.
Among the Moros killed in the Taraca
forts were nine dattos and one sultan. The
moral effect of this fight will be far reach

further hostility in the Lake Lanao coun-
try.
Captain Pershing estimates the population
of Taraca at $4,000 and that of the district
at 100000. He says the population of the
Lake Lanao district has been underesti-

LEXINGTON, KY, May 10.-The capture
of Curtis Jett, charged with the assassina-
ton Of j. B. Marcum in Jackson Monday,
was accomplished without bloodshed at
o clock Sunday morning. He is now In the
Clark county Jail at Winchester.
Bearing a warrant which had been sworn
out by Samuel Jett. uncle Of the accused,
Sheriff McChord and posse of seven left
Winchester al midnight Saturday. Reach
ing Jackson's ferry, ten miles distant, at
2SO a. m, they put away their buggies and
crossed the Kentucky river to Madison
county in canoes. They proceeded on foot
to the home of Mrs. A. Haggin. Jett's moth
er, two miles from the ferry. Six of the
posse were stationed around the dwelling.
and Sheriff McChord and Deputy Stockley
approached the front door and knocked.
Jetts mother answered. and after some par
ley admitted that Curtis was within. They
were admitted and found Jett awake, but
still in bed. He shook hands with the sher-
iff and said that he would give no trouble.
Reaching under his pillow, he drew out his
pistol and turned it over to his mother to
keep. He made no show of resistance, and
was landed In Jail at Winchester at a. m.
Jetts stepfather, A. Haggin, charges
that when Jett reached his house last night
from Jackson he proceeded to draw his
pistol on him and ordered him to get out
of the neighborhood. Haggin went to
Richmond and swore out warrant, charg-
ing Jett with breach of the peace by as
sault with a pistol.
In the Jail to-day Jett was communica-
tive on all matters save the killing of Mar
cum. ''rll get out Of this all right" was
the only statement he would make that
could be construed as reference TO the
charge. He said he wanted TO be tried In
nouncing his uncle who had him arrested
and said that the score would be evened
up when he at liberty. When asked
in reference to the statement that five
men would testify that he killed Marcum
he simply sneered and replied, Whats
that to your"
To Sheriff McChord he was equally nom
communicative as to the Marcum tragedy.
Jett is twenty-eight years of age, athletic
in build, with deep-set, keen eyes, and has
rest was agreeable surprise to the off,
GERS, who feared an encounter. Jett de-
MED that he drove his stepfather from
home. He will be arraigned Tuesday and,
1T is supposed. will be transferred to the
jackson district for trial.
The report that b. j. Even was shot at
Jackson last night is untrue Even was
with Marcum when the latter was assassin
ated last Monday.
How the report became current Satur-
day night that Il. j. Even was assassin
ated at Jackson Saturday evening is un-
explained. No trains run from Jackson on
Sunday by which news could be brought
out and efforts TO obtain any satisfactory
explanation from any. Jackson service by
wire fruitless. However. 1t is certain
that Even was not shot Saturday.

this is true or false declare that the Stand

claimed. and Turkish troops are guarding

spondent says in conclusion, that the only
way to clear the atmosphere is by war
with Bulgaria.

MED here that the powers have lodged
claims for damages resulting from the

were arrested and when the papers of the
secretary of the Bulgarian diplomatic agen-

The statement that the Porte has re-
quested Austria and Italy to withdraw their
warships from Salonica has been confirmed.

which promises to be one of the busiest of
his journey. His train arrived here at mid

his party had breakfast.

desired to spend the day quietly.

has addressed to the Rev. William Morri-
son, of Lexington, Va, a member OF the
American Presbyterian mission, who recent
ly made public here charges of tyrannical
behavior on the part of the whites in the
Congo over the native population. Mr..
Houdret points out that during the Rev.

held interviews and was In correspondence
with government officials concerning the
matter of land and other questions of in

the charges of ill-treatment of natives

The consul general concludes his letter
as follows: Your allegations would have
been more serviceable If they had been
made direct to the authorities at Brussels,
who desire to repress abuses if any have
been committed.
