MUCH FIRING HEARD.
Reason to Believe That an Engagement

spondent of the Associated Press at

Sounds OF very heavy firing were
heard at $50 o'clock this wednesday,
morning. The firing evidently vas be-
ing done between here and Port Ar
thur. 1t s believed at Teng Chow that
the long expected sea fight among the
Miaotao islands has taken place.
THE japanese battleship Asahi. f1y-
ing an admtrals flag, was seen off Che
Foo yesterday, going to the west. and
there is no doubt hat the remainder
of the Japanese fleet was in the vicinity
of Port Arthur. The Russian teet was
terday.'

of the steamer Lockshan. which arrived
today from New Chwang. reports that
he heard heavy firing between 5 and Z
o'clock this wednesday, morning In

Judge Stevens. of Ouray. ordering the
arrest of Adjt. Gen. Bell and Capt.
Wells for contempt of court in not
complying with the writ of habeas

we will not recognize the writ of
attachment, and the military authori-
lies will not appear in court. Neither
will we give up Meyer. We will claim
that the courts have no right to enjoin
or arrest the officers or members of
the military While they are on duty.
They are not subject 10 attachment or
injunction at this time. If the district
court of Ouray is to be allowed to in
terfere in the carrying u of the plans
of the military under martial law, there
is no reason why a justice of the peace
might not with equal authority inter-
vene and render the military absolute

POPE Ar ST: PETERS.
Plus Celebrates His First Appearance,
There With Great
Cerenonv,

Rome, April 1S.-For the first time
since his coronation, the pope went this
morning to St. Peters TO say mass in
celebration OF the thirteenth centennial
of 81. Gregory the Great. The inn
me.ase basilica of ST. Peters was filed
more Than 10000 persons being present.
THE pope was in the best of health. On
This express recommendation the au-
offence refrained from applause or cry
Ing out. %contenting themselves with the
waving of handkerchiefs.
Inside St. Peters was the usual grand
sight Which nee seen is never for
gotten. There was only three tribunes,
four members of the aristrocracy, the
diplomatic corps. and the royal fam
illes respectively. There were also spe-
iciaiiy reserved places for the pope's
three sisters.
The arrival of Pope Plus was herald
ed by Il blare of silver trumets, al
though the procession was as gorgeous
as ever, the bright red cardinal gowns,
lmingling with the brown monks robes
and white w of the choir. the ben
lgeous canopy of picturesque ostrich
fans, and the glittering helmets OF
guards, its reception seemed cold after
the frantic applause permitted by Pope
Leo. This, however, heightened the eff
feet of the choir which greeted him,
with music as he came in.
After a brief halt the cha4}si q:
the sacrament tha -aky roceeded tc
the thrsass~I4+-- tEJae Swn was placed
y NV ~ I 9 q by Cardinal Wacchi. I'm
n~lediately after the browning the pom
tiff celebrated mass to the a~ccornpani-
ment of the Gregorian chant, which
echoed solemnly throughout the vast
Basilica.
At noon the pope re-entered his apart
ments, the procession being formed in
the same as on entering the
church. There was no applause, and
the lack of incident except that several
persons tainted, especially women, ar,l
soldiers who had been in Piazza since
four this morning.

Cor Having Disregarded cours,

Trouble.
QUESTION: WHO'D GUILTY.
Court Demands That General Bell ans
Captain Wells Be Brought to
Justice, Eut Governor
Says No.
QUESTION:: WHO is Gu,LTYa

Ouray, Colo, April 1S.-District Judge
Stevens today declared Adjutant Gen
eral Bell and Captain Wells 10 be III
contempt Of court for not complying
with a writ of eeabeas orpus which re-
CURED the officers to bring before the
court today Charles Ill. Meyer, presi-
dent of the Western Federation OF
Miners, who they are holding in con
fnement al Telluride.
The court ordered the sheriff TO ar.
rest the two officers.
The judge severely criticised TIL.
course OF Governor Peabody and the
military authorities.
If the military continues to disregard
the order OF the court and refuses tc
release President Meyer, Attorney
Richardson, representing the Western
Federation of Miners, will apply to tine
state supreme court for u writ OF
habean corpus.
The return to the writ made by Gep-
eral Bell through Assistant District
Attorney Howe Of Telluride excused
his failure to produce the body of Mr.
Meyer on the ground thai he deemed it
unsafe to bring Meyer TO Ouray or to
reduce he military force in San Miguel
county by so dong. and that the gov
error had ordered him to disregard the
writ.
Judge Stevens said:
The people OF Curay will rightly re-
sent the ilnputation thai General Bell
or Captain Wells could not come alone
and in safety before this court.
"A very grave question is presented
as to whether it is the striking miners
or the governor of Colorado and the ma
tional guard that are engaged in insur-,
rection and rebellion against che avs
of the state.
IF there is to be a reign of military
.despotism in this state, and civil au-
thority is to have no jurisdiction, tho
latter might as we'll go out of business"
Judge Stevens refused to permit the
filing of the return of the writ, ordered
that Charles S. Mover be discharged
from custody, issued ana order of at
against General Bell and
Captain Wells. assessed Il fine of $500
each, and expressed regret that the
governor was not before the court. as
considered him equally guilty with
General Eel and Captain Wells.
