lowing a midnight council at the palace
troops were today rushed to the disaf-
fected district The insurgents are re-
ported as retreating to the hills pursued

The insurrection is believed to be of a
serious character. Last night the gov

Col Jane, revolutionary veterans, had
taken to the woods at the head of about
score of followers.
Council of War Held.
Miniet is a man of influence, and it
was feared that many malcontents would
rally around his standard. The council
of war was hastily called at the palace,
and the situation thoroughly discussed. 1t

ney. Early this morning trains carrying
1900 troops, infantry and cavalry, left

Monteagudo had orders to reach Ell Ca
ney in the shortest possible time

Gates that the government considers the

at the capital that the troops already
at Ell Caney had started in pursuit of the
insurgents, who were said to be retreat
ing through the difficult hill country.

quantity of arms at the headquarters of
the Veterans Club, of which Col Jane is
the president

not known here, but for several days past
rumors have circulated through the prov

The rumors were declared by officials of
the government to be without foundation.
For several days reports of a threat

the State Department. These were not
taken as indicating any serious op.

STOCK PRICES SLUMP
TO NEW LOW LEVELS
LackaWanna Loses Thirty
Points, and Other Declines
Are Serious.

NEW YORK, July 26.-A process of
forced liquidation was responsible for
some very severe declines in prices in the
stock market today The effect was most
pronounced in stocks that pay no divi-
dend. but that have been affected by
hopeful prospects Of initial payments OF
those that had newly begun payments
and had narrow surplus of earnings
over dividend requirements.
Calls for additional margin and discrim-
ination against collateral in loans forced
these stocks on a market in which no de-
mand existed. The move was the conse-
quence of last weeks unexpected dividend
reduction in National Lead, coupled with
the fall in the general stock market that
has followed.
An Opportunity for Shorts.
Some steadying effect was caused in the
market leaders by the demand from
shorts to cover, even while the less prom
inent stocks were declining precipitately.
The break in corn helped to steady prices.
ST. Louis Southwestern preferred suf-
fered loss of 8, Southern Railway pre-
ferred IA. Missouri Pacific AZ, Brookly n
Union Gas Az. Sloss Sheffield Steel 4,
Central Leather preferred 3a4, Republic
Steel preferred. Westinghouse Electric,
American Hide and Leather preferred and
Interborough- Metropolitan preferred 3,
and many others ! to 3 points.
Some Losses hun Big.
Liquidation was steadily punctuated
into the afternoon and began to have in
creasng effect on some of the high-grade
standard stocks.
Active trading stocks lost the effect of
the short covering demand and joined in
the downward movement their losses
ran generally from to over points.
Lackawanna sold at a decline of 80,
Central Railroad of New Jersey II, Mis-
souri, Pacific 12A. Rock Island prefer

established.

Session

Detectives Securing Country
for Bouseman Murderer.
REWARD FOR THE CAPTURE
Belief Grows That Revenge Was
Motive for Crime.
NEGROES UNDER SUSPICION
Discovery Of Dynamite and Fuse
Near Bouseman Home Suggests
Design Against Family.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RIDGEwAY, Va, July 26.-Aided by
bloodhounds, detectives brought from
Roanoke today began a systematic
search through the negro quarter for
the person or persons who threw the
bomb which killed ex-Mayor A. H.
Bouseman.
The belief that the outrage was the
work of negroes whom he had Of
Tended in an official capacity is gaining
ground. and feeling is intense. The town
is crowded with residents of the sur
rounding country and lynching is fear
ed Induced by the reward offered by
the town council for an arrest and
conviction, as we'll as by the general
excitement. posses are today securing
the surrounding country.
Dynamite and Fuse Found.
The discovery of four sticks of dyna-
mite and yard of fuse hidden in the
bushes near the Bouseman home, but
few feet from the place where Mr.. Bouse-
man lay when he was injured, has IN
creased the general indignation. The ex-
termination of the Bouseman family is
believed to have been the real object of
the criminals.
Word was received here today from
Richmond that Gov. Mann had offered a
reward Of $3.50 on the part OF the state
for the apprehension and conviction OF
the person or persons responsible for the
assassination. This makes a total reward
Of 81 900, the town council having offered
a reward Of $500 and the board Of super
visors of the county $3.50.
Every negro residence about the little
town has been ransacked The blacks
are resentful and some have armed. All
weapons are taken from them when
found.
Possible Motive for Crime.
All known friends of a negro killed two
months ago by an officer who was pur-
suing another negro are being examined.
This case aroused great indignation
among the blacks, who charged that the
mayor ordered the police to shoot. Mr..
Bouseman and two officers were indicted
as the result of this case. The motfve
assigned for the mayors killing is espe-
cialiy deplorabie and disturbing to the
community. as 1t marks the first case OF
revenge-that is, the using OF a bomb by
negroes in revenge for real or fancied
wrong in Virginia
Immediately upon the heavy blast of
the explosion, which shook the entire
vicinity, Mrs. Bouseman rushed from
the house and found her husband lying
on the lawn. with both .legs blown off
below the knee. The man was con-
scious, and for some time directed the
efforts of those who were endeavoring
to aid him. Physicians amputated the
legs just below the knees. but the VIC
tim oied at o'clock next morning.
The coroners jury at the inquest dis
covered no new facts, and rendered a
verdict that Bouseman had come to his
death by means Of an explosive thrown
by some unknown party.
