Watching Suspected Vessel.

Washington, June 13.-Although no news came today from the revenue cutters which are watching the movements of the suspected filibuster steamer Nanticoke, Captain Commandant Ross tonight ex- pressed confidence that no vessels would leave Virginia or North Carolina waters with contraband aboard.
 Advices from Norfolk tonight conflict with the report from Beaufort to the ef- feet that the Nanticoke is at Edenton. They state that the vessel is at Frank lin. Va. which is located on the Black Water river 30 miles above Edenton. It Is stated that last reports from Franklin received late today were to the effect that an unknown vessel that may be a private yacht or a revenue cutter is an- chored in the Black Water river near the Nanticoke. The officers of the Nanticoke have been very courteous to visitors, the dispatch says. but are reticent when the subject of their destination Is preached. The steamer is said to be heavily loaded with coal.
 Although the Nanticoke's officers said last night they expected to sail early to- day she was still at Franklin when the last reports were received from that place tonight.

Government Officers Are Watch ing Steamer to See If t

SHIP CANNOT BE SEIZED
 WITHOUT DEFINITE CLUE
Authorities at Washington Have Or. dered Vessel Watched Under Suspicion That It is Ready
 To Sail With Firearms.

Beaufort N. C., June 13-With two revenue cutters, the Seminole and tho Pamlico, on watch, with a northeastern running off the coast and great seas making the inlets connecting the North Carolina sounds with the Atlantic ocean Impossible for anything but the strong est craft, the chances of the success of a filibustering expedition from these wa ters directed against Venezuela are today very small. Yesterday afternoon the cut ter Pamlico left her headquarters at New Berne, N. C., under instructions from the treasury department to get in touch at once with the ancient sidewheel steam CT Nanticoke, which is suspected of fili- Clustering intentions. This vessel was at last accounts, at Edenton, a little North Carolina shipping port, at the mouth of Chowan river far back on the west coast of Albemarle Sound.
 The treasury departments activities were invoked because of persistent ru mors that ex-President Castros friends were planning a hostile expedition against President Gomez's government. It was alleged that ten or fifteen thousand stands of arms had been shipped from Belgium to America for this expedition.
 According to advices received the pro- motors of this enterprise realizing that 1t would be impossible without attracting the attention of the law officers to trans ship this large number of rifles with the necessary ammunition at any of the Att lantic ports, has planned to send them to some interior port of entry perhaps as far inland as Chicago or Cincinnati. Then they would be quietly transported to some small south Atlantic port and shipped to Venezuela. Secret service men and other agents discovered that two vessels, suitable for filibustering pur- poses had been sold by a New York ship brokerage firm to unknown parties Both were in the vicinity of Norfolk and one was found to be- Zhe old sidewheeler Nanticoke. The nanaa of the other can not be learned Tf Nanticoke was To- cated at Edenton, N. C., whereupon the revenue cutters were called into service to watch her, and that Is the situation today.
 There is no warrant for the seizure of the Nanticoke unless the revenue officers are able to obtain more information as to her mission than they now have in their possession. However, there is noth- Ing to prevent them from searching the vessel which they will doubtless do if they fall in with her. Furthermore, there is possibility that a great mistake has been made, and there has been nothing Illegal about the sale of the Nanticoke and the other unknown ship, and 1t is reported from one quarter that the ves- sels are really designed to ply in peace full trade upon some of the inland waters of Venezuela.

WAITING FOR NEWS
 FROM SHIPWRECK

New York, June 13.-Mere driblets of news are all that steamship companies here have received concerning the wrecked Cunard liner, slavonia, off Flores island, the Azores. About the only ad- ditional private information which was received in New York today was a mes sage to the North German Lloyd of- ficers, saying the Princess Irene to which the no cabin passengers of the Slayonia were transferred after the wreck, would not reach Gibraltar until late tomorrow. She had been expected today, but the delay incident to the transfer of passen- gers added another day, and thus holds up details of the wreck which will be available immediately when she touches ct Gibraltars

Sebastopol, June 1S.-All hope is gone of saving the crew of the Russian sub marine Kamdala. which was sunk in col lsion with the battleship Rostislav Fri day night, or of recovering, the wreck, owing to the great depth of water.

ROBBERS LOOT TRAIN.
Union Pacific Overland Limited Held
Up Near Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., May 24.-Four masked
men held up and robbed Union Pacific
passenger train No. 2, known as the
Overland Limited, few miles west of
the city just before midnight Saturday
night, and secured seven mail sacks,
believed to have contained a large
quantity of registered mail.
They evidently got on the train at
some point west of here. The holdup
occurred about five miles west of the
city limits, in deep cut along the re-
Gently constructed Lane cutoff.
The robbers climbed over the tank
and forced the engineer to stop his
train, and then proceeded to the mail
car. The clerks were forced to open
the door and hand out seven pouches of
registered mail.
Once they secured the bags, the rob.
bers hurried away in southerly direc'
tion, and permitted the train to pro.
ceed. The passengers were not molest
ed, and as soon as the robbers left the
scene of the hold-up the train came tc
this city.
The chief mail clerk was singled out
by the robbers and ordered to point Out
the registered mail. This he did
and the robbers gathered up sever
pouches. The leader then remarked:
"This is all We can get into our au
| tomobile,"

HAS NEW FORMULA.
Major Nichols is Successful in Color
Photography Experiments.


Spokane, Wash, May 24.--Major
Nichols, U. S. A., of Fort Wright, a
veteran student of photography, has
been successful in reproducing colors
by developing the negative with a
formula of his own.
For years he has devoted considera-
BILE attention to color photography and
has studied the discoveries of Lumiere,
of France, founder of the system. He
recently sent to New York for some of
the Lumiere plates, which have met
with little success by the photographers
of the country.
81 tried little experiment of my
own, with the result that l have been
able to produce some negatives which
show the colors of the object in detail, "
said Major Nichols this morning.
He showed some plates which were
taken on the military grounds and con-
tanned the most minute detail in color
ing.
"My side line is devoted to the max
ing of lantern Slides" continued the
major, "and it is my intention to take
a quantity of plates of this kind to the
Islands in August and to devote consid.
cradle of my spare time to making
pictures of tropical scenery"

Medford-The court of Jackson coun-

steel bridge across the Rogue river at
Woodville, below Gold Hill, which will
open large agricultural district ada
cent to Woodville but across the river.
The trade of this section has hitherto
been diverted to Grants Pass but now
the little city will get all of the trade
of that section. A planning mill, box
factory and brick yard have recently
been added to the industries of Wood
vile and work has just started on {

BUY jackson Timber Road.

Medford-With the sale of the Paci-
fc & Eastern railroad to j. R. Allen,
of New York, during the past week,
the hopes of Southern Oregon residents
that the road be extended to the timber
belt northeast of this city above Butte
Falls have risen tremendously, and
realty values in the country along the
line of the proposed extension have
made corresponding increase. 1t
seems that at last the road is to be
completed, and with its completion
one of the largest standing timber
belts in the Northwest, as yet un-
touched by the woodman's axe, will be
made accessible.
