JACKSON, KY. May 29.-The town Is
perfectly quiet tonight A heavy storm
has been raging since sunset Tho guard
has not been increased in numbers the
past twenty-four hours. but all roads ara
under surveillance. There Is no press CEN
sorship. The correspondents are kept
within the confines OF Camp Jackson at
ter sundown. but their dispatches are
given to messenger boys, who are es-
corted to the telegraph office, one mile

and the vigilance of the authorities has
been doubled. The Gatling and Hotchkiss
guns are now In places believed to be
the most advanta geous to the troops, and
for the protection Of the jail.
What is believed to be the first accurate
information regarding an attempt to re-
lease Jett and White came in to-day. 1t
Is said that several OF the mountain des-
peradoes have been riding night and day
since the two prisoners were lodged In
Jail here spreading the news of the cap
ture. and urging the mountaineers to be
prepared to rescue their comrades. The
military authorities here have no tnrther
intelligence from the mountains, and, al
though many efforts have been made to
secure something more definite, 1t has
been fruitless.
1t has been decided to keep an outpost
on all roads and mountain passes not
only at night, but during the day. This
probably will result In call for more
troops and the field OF operations is thus
widened.
Attorneys for both sides in the Jewett
and White cases agreed to-day to allow
a Jury to be drawn from another county
than Breathitt. When court convened
Judge Redwlne. over the objection of Mr..
