RATIFIED BY PANAMA.
Treaty With Costa Rica Regarding
the Boundary.

The State Department has been officially
advised that the boundary treaty with
Costa Rica has been ratified by the Pan
anna congress. The department regards this
as most important. since there are many
American interests on the line between
Panama and Costa Rica, and no one up to
the time OF signing the treaty had been able
to tell exactly under what government these
interests came. This anomalous condition
Of affairs caused the United States govern
ment to urge both Panama and Costa Rica
to get together and try to fix upon a perma-
nent boundary line. The matter was sub
mitted for arbitration to President Loubet
Of France, but when It came to drawing the
line indicated by the award they found
themselves in about the same position that
they were before. Finally, however they
concluded a treaty which now has been rat
lied. 1t Is not doubted that Costa Rica will
take similar action within q short time.

CORPORAL KNOW LES
TO BE TRIED BY A MILITARY
TRIBUNAL.

As result of Geographic correspondence
between the War Department and Gen. Nc
Caskey, cOmmandant Of the department of
Texas and Maj. Penrose commanding the
post at Fort Reno, the department COM
naander has been instructed to arrange for
q prompt trial by a military tribunal OF
Corporal Edward L. Knowles of Company
A. 18th Infantry. on the charge of assault
with intent to kill Capt. Edgar A. Macklin
of Company D. 18th Infantry. at Fort Reno

arrested on the 9Th instant on the charge
Of having shot Capt. Macklin and the prin-
cipal evidence against him is blood-stain-
ed khaki blouse or coat, hearing his initials.
found hidden on the target range near the
post.
He was turned over to The military au-
thorities. and has been since confined in
the guard house at the post.
Civil Authorities Took Cognizance.
The territorial authorities took cognizance
Of the case. and Knowles was bound over
to await the action OF the grand jury Of
Canadian county at the opening term of
the court. Owing to the delay involved
In the civil proceedings against the prisoner.
and also because the criminal code of Okla
homa does not cover cases Of '.assau lt
Will HIteIt 10 XIII, tne autnCrttleS at
Washington decided to proceed with the
trial before military court without await
ing further action by the civil authorities
1t Is explained that the necessity for
haste In this case arises from the fact that
the 18th Regiment of Infantry, including
all the companies at Fort Reno. IS under
orders to start for the Philippines in few
weeks Many of the witnesses in lie case
against Knowles are members of that regi-
ment, and the department does not desire
to detach them from their regiment when it
starts for the Philippines.
Corporal Knowles was not member of
the battalion at Brownsville at the time
of the midnight raid of August IL, and so
far as known, none of the soldiers dis
charged on account of that affair is in any
way involved in the shooting of Capt.
Macklin about four months later
Difficulty In Trial by Civil Courts.
1t is said that the difficulties in the way
of securing proper trial of Knowles by
the civil courts Of Oklahoma at this time
are mainly due to the present chaotic state
Of affairs in Oklahoma incident to it's birth
as sovereign state.
The laws Of the territory cover the crimes
of murder and assault. but make no refer
ence to attempted murder The military
authorities desired to try Knowles on that
charge, and consequently Gen. McCaskey
was ordered to detail a general court-mar-
tial for the purpose.
So far as known no information has
reached the War Department to confirm
the rumor of the existence of a plot among
the colored soldiers at Fort Reno to kill
all their white officers, and the rumor finds
little or no credence among the officers
stationed In this city.
