GEN. BELL
EXPLAINS
No Apologies For
His Actions.
Says Men Will Continue to
Be Transported Will Be
Confined in Prison Pen
If They Return.

Cripple Creek, Col, June 14.--Adju-
tant General Sherman Bell, in com
mand of the military here, has issued
a statement concernin0 the deporta-
tion of union miners and others from
the. Cripple Greek district. The state
ment was prepared at the request OF
an eastern newspaper for an opinion
as to why the deporta tions do not con-
fiict with the provisions of the consti-
tuition of the United States against de-
priving any person of life, liberty or
property without due process OF law.
1t reads in part as follows:
The powers of the military In deal
ing with an organization engaged In
insurrection against the lawful au-
thoTfeies of the state. in q criminal
conspiracy against the Lives of It's cit
izens, recently has been defined by
the honorable supreme court of this
state in re Meyer, to which refer you
for my authority / am taking only
such steps as are necessary to restore
peace in this community and to render
safe the lives of its citizens. Many
innocent lives already have been sac
rificed and the authorities of Colorado
propose that these assassinations shall
cease.
In older and more settled commun-
tiles the election of who are and who
are not desirable citizens may get a
slow process The people Of Color
ado love order and peace and law just
as much as those of the older com
munities, but they sometimes make
their election of citizens In hurry,
and the murderous, unspeakabIe out
rage at the independence station a
week ago, coming as a elimination of
many hidden crimes. all traceable to
the Western Federation Of Miners,
precipitated such an election
1T is not uncommon out here for
the peacable citizens to go to a man
of the community and tell him to go,
that ne is not wanted. Such notice
is never disregarded The one noti-
fed goes for the good Of the commun-
1ty If there is no other law there is
at least a fundamental one that gives
the people the power to hang one man,
send another to the penitentiary, fine
lesser cTlprit and the unw1itten pow
er.StO impose the lighter sentence Of
enforced departure to other fields foI
those who, having transgressed nc
written law, are vet disturbing ele-
ments in the general peace.
These men were deported to the
Kansas Colorado line and more will
follow tomorrow for which no apollo
gies are made to anyone. Should
they return they will be Immediately
placed in the military prison and there
remain indefinitely

DENIES THE REPORT.

st Petersburg, June1 A., 11:56 a. m.
The Novoe Vremya's s military expert
authoritatively denies the report that
General Stakelberg is on the march
south. He declares that the only
Russian forces on the Liao-Tung pc
ninsula above Port Arthur consists of
cavalry and railroad guards and adds
that 1t. is scarcely possible to interfere
with the siege operations before Port
Arthur The chief mission of the
Russian cavalry detachments, he says,
is to hamper the movements of the
Japanese columns from the south to
the north
The NovOe Nremya devOtes a long
editorial to arguing that wireless COM
munication with neutral territory does
not constitute q breach Of neutrality,
the enemy having practically the same
remedy as in the case of cable COM
munication. namely. as previously ca
bled. in one case cutting the cable and
in the other in stationing a vessel rig
ged with wireless apparatus between
the sending and receiving stations,
thus interfering with communication.
The calling out Of the army reserves
In Kazan, Kieff and Moscow military
districts was announced to-day This
step is for the purpose of filing up
the skeleton reserve corps and to re
place the regular troops already gone
OF going to the front. Tt also fore
shadows the dispatch of four Nolg.l
corps which was predicted in these
dispatches month ago. The latter
would give General Kuropatkin two
hundred thousand more men.

SHOT HIMSELF.
Mystery About Supt. of
Water D. A. Harris's
Act.

New Britain, June I'D. A. Har-
ris, superintendent Of the water de-
partment of the city, shot himself In
his room to-day. No cause is assigned
for the act unless it was that he was
the one to whom $92.5O was sent from
some unknown person in New York,
and which fell into the hands Of John
Remson and Samuel Bosworth, both
of whom were in court this morning
for obtaining the money from the
Adams Express Co on June 3 under
false pretenses. Harris is a single
man about so years Of age and is not
expected to recover
Remson, who cashed the express or
der, was fined $50 and costs in court
this morning and Bosworth, who iden-
tilted him as ID. "A. Harris, was given
three months in JAIL

DEAL FORMED.
Harrison and Hearst Fac.
tions Forced to Make
Deal.

Springfield, I'll, June 14.-The plan Of
John F. Hopkins of Chicago and the
majority OF the members of the state
central committee to make Frank P.
Quinn of Peoria temporary chairman
of the democratic state convention,
which meets to-day, has forced the
Hearst and Harrison factions Of the
party into an alliance, defensive and
offensive. The deal between Harrison
and Hearst was arranged last night,
but the fact that it had been made was
guarded with greatest secrecy. There
were six men representing Harrison
and Hearst in the conference and each
man pledged himself to say nothing Of
the compact until after the adjourn
ment Of the committee of the state
central body. 1t was feared that if the
Hopkins men knew Of the arrangement
they would offset 1t by unseating suf-
ficient number of Harrison and Hearst
men to leave them In full control OF
the convention. The deal is sadyan-
tageOus to the Harrison people, for
while they have about one-fifth as
many delegates as Hearst, they are to
have one-half the delegates at large
to the national convention and an equal
voice in naming the candidates for the
state Offices provided the alliance Is
able to control the convention, as it's
leaders express themselves confident Of
doing.
The Harrison people on their part
have agreed to vote for an instructed
Hearst delegation, and to secure the
11fip floi1s Tcr1a
! Williams from the presidential race.
Edward Iaahiff of Chicago, who was
one of the Harrison men present at last
nights conference pledged himself to
the fact that Mr. Williams would with
| draw if requested to do so by his back
ers from Chicago. George T.. Dickson
of Chicago has come out as q candi-
date for lieutenant governor. Stringer,
Prentiss and Crolius are still the lead
| ing candidates for governor. StTinger,
however, is showing the most strength.
The situation was later made more
complex by the announcements of Con-
gresham Williams that he was not in
clined to withdraw, as his Cook coun-
/ ty friends had said he would do. Will
| liams has eighty-seven instructed. dele
gates In the convention who would be
left to him if Cook county should
/ abandon him.
There is talk Of two conventions to
be held in the same hall in the event
| of the Hopkins people being able to
prevent roll call.
It is certain that Hearst and Harri-
! son can control the convention if ever
they get a roll call, and equally sure
| that Hopkins will rule 1t rs long as he
prevents q roll call
There are, therefore, likely to be sew
proposition as soon as the convention
meets.

Looking Cakes.

New York, June 14.-Adulterants
highly injurious to the health have
found in innocent looking cakes, cheap
caramels and other sweet stuffs sold
freely to A4ildren here, and a report
has been made to the attorney general
Of the state by chemists working un-
der direction of the state department Of

In one instance eleven grain OF par
afla was found in four small chocolate

that paraffin resists the action of

ENGLAND WILL LOSE.


London, June 14-It appears from a
question and answer in the house Of
commons to-day that the fall of Port
Arthur will make an end of British
tenancy OF Wei Hai-Wei. on the shan
TuDg promontory. Earl Percy, the un-
der foreign secretary, informed the
house to-day that under the Anglo
Chinese convention of 1898 Great
Britain's lease of this Chinese port
was only valid so long as Port Arthur
remained in the occupation of Russia.
A Chefu dlspatcn 81, uIal accoro
ing to the captain of one Of the Japa-
nese cruisers blockading Port Arthur
the Russian cruiser Novik has been
out of the harbor on several occasions
hunting Japanese destroyers. The cap
tain thought that the distractions at
the mouth of the harbor prevented the
exit of the larger Russian vessels.
According to the Japanese the Rus
SLAMS have three submarine boats
which have presumably been put to-
gether at Port Arthur since the begin
ming of the war.
Tokyo advices say that the recent
Japanese bombardment in the vicinity
of Kaiping, south of Newchwang,
caused Russian forces to the number
of 3.0O0 with twenty guns, to evacuate
Yinkow.
Two men who were taken prisoners
by the Japanese report that two Rus
sian regiments, numbering in all about
5000 men, arrived recently at Man
chalin, yafangow and Vafangtien.
The prisoners say also that large num-
bers of Russian troops are coming
south from Mukden.
A detachment of the feet has bonn
barded and dispersed two companies
of Russian troops who were on Kai.

fleet bombarded the enemy for two
hours near Yingchintsu and Tsantia

them.
