When tho American Secretary of "
State ofllclally kicked out the Zeluyun t
envoy from Washington, but permit- J
ted him to remain In tho capital ^
<ilty as an "unofficial" moons of
communication between the Nlcaraguaa
and American governments, he
oleo made tt know that ho would J3
receive "unofficial" information from
Nicaragua through Dr. Salvador ^
Castrilla, tho representative in Washington
of tho Kstrado, or revolutlon^
ory party, in Nicaragua.
Just in how far Castrilla has con- c
ferred with and poster Mr. Knox c
we are not to know, says the Augusta
Chonicle. But if Dr. Castrliln
talks as volubly and foolishly to the
American 8tate Department as * he H
does to the American newspapers,
he is a pretty "warm numboiV'-afl
one of tho Washington newsboys
would put it. n
In a recent issue of the New York t
Herald, Dr. Castrilla attempted to 1
I confirm to tho American public nil T
the terrible things which Mr. Knox i
hae alleged against Zelayn and a (
^ great deal more. But, in his zeal t:> i
ahow what an awful mun Zelaya is |
capable, he shows himself so igno- ,
rant that if he does not lose his \
"unofficial" head, he certainly ought f
to. But road what ho Bays: . *
"The plan Is now for Zelaya to1
uoe every meana in hie power to
injure Americana," I)r. Castrilln
said, "and if he la dofeated ho will
leave for Antwerpt, where hlR wife
now awalta him. Zelaya has ae-'
elared to his confidential advisors
hia intention to fight. Hut first he
< will mako a determined effort to
Interest the Amorlcan Congress
against the State Department, and
also to seek to enlist the services
of Japan against the United Stutea. N
"Soaor Corea, formerly Minister
of Zelaya to the United States, iH '
hero in Washington now, and I know j J
positively that he has in his trunk (
credentials to the Japanese to mako \
an alliance with Japan Emperor.14
Strange as it may seem, Zelaya seems t
to think he can, against the United *
States. He first conceived the idea J
in 1897, and has boon brooding overt
the plan for some time.
"The details of the Zelayan plan '
show that Zelaya la willing to prom- "
tee to Japan a canal in Nicaragua (
and will also pledge himself to do- 8
etrey the Panama Canul If Japan <
so desires. Of course, the Idea is 1
ridiculous, but It shows to what >
Zelaya and his advisors scheme to (

"The confidential agents of Zo- f
Vaya are spurring him on to fight, t
^ telling him that the American peo- r
pie will admire hla courage and that
he will come out well In the end.
Flret they have advised him to address
the American House of Rep- t

and asking that the government stop t

of Tcrriblfl TriigtMly in Savannah.
Victims of u revolting crime, Mm.
Eliza Grlbble, agod 7 0 yearn, und her
daughter, Mrs. Carrie Ohlunder, were
found dead in their home, No. 401
Perry street, West, In Savannah, Ga.,
Friday, while a third woman, Mra.
Maggie Hunter, aged 312, found Just
inside th<? front door of the house,
is at tho Havannuh hospital dying.
Physicians state that Mrs. Ohlunder
was the victim of a criminal as
sault Just before she was killed.
One hundred and fifty negro men,
caught in tho meshes of the police
drag net through Yamaeraw, the
negro section of tho city, are prisoners
in the police station, the theory
of the pollco being that a uegro
uian, having plunned au assault upon
Mrs. Ohlunder, was compelled to
commit the other crimes in order to
escape.
Other arrests will bo made until
every negro In tho city who in any
way resembles the description of u
negro who during three days had
been frt^uently about the promises
of the house of tho murders is a
prisoner.
Tho police believe that this negro,
using an axe taken from the woodshed
In tho rear of tho Grlbble home,
beat Mrs. Grlbble to death, struck
down Mrs. Hunter und utter assaulting
Mrs. Ohlunder in tho wide, long
hall way, where tho bodies were
found, finished his terrible work by
beating in her skull with the weanon
Mrs. (Jrlbblo evidently was uttackod
from behind, as Bhi? Hat in an easy
chair reading. On tho lloor, bo9l(le
her body, were found the newspaper
she was reading and her spectacles.
One, or possibly two, blows were
dealt her. Her groy hair, blood
matted, shows the Imprint of the
blunt axe.
Then the murder stealthily approaching
aged Mrs. Orlbble, killed
her. It la believed that Mrs. Ohlander
was attacked as she left her room
to enter the hall way, was assaulted
and killed. Mrs. Hunter's skull
was crushed In and her death is a
matter of but a few hours.
Tho motley hord of prisoners are
quiet and frightened In tho police
station and Jail. It Is believed that
if tho negro suspecbHt of the crime
la caught ho can bo quickly Identified.
Hloodhounds have beon ut work
in an effort to take the troll from
tho woodshed where tho axe wan
found by the murderer, but an
tho house of mureders U nlmobt
within tho heart of tho city and as
tho murders were probably conutnlttod
several hours beforo the discovery
of the bodies, the dogs will be
of little use.
Mayor Tiedoman, of Savannah, has
offered a reward of $1,000 for the
capture with evidence to convict of
tho slayer of Mrs. Gribblo and Mrs.
Ohlunder, and tho assailant of Mrs,
Maggie Hunter, who was not identl
fled for hours after tho discovery
of the murders.
It is now almost certainly known
that a negro, the negro who was at
first Buspootcd is tho guilty man.
Persona have been found who state
that thin negro was seen entering
the Orlbblo house w*ith the fatal
axe In hla hand, and was aeon cloning
tho shutters to the windowH of
the hoiifto, and to leuvo the preiaisoh,
all at tho hour when It 1b Imv
llovod the inurderB wero committed.
This negro'H de?crlptlon hua beoti
printed on handbills and Hcnttered
broadcaBt over the city and couuty,
,JHth tho reward offored, and all
-nearby towns have been notified and
are on the lookout. Police officers
In automoblloH have covered all the
roads for miles surrounding tho city,
while posses on foot have scoured
the places where automobileH could
not go. The house-to-house search
of negro homes continues. It seeuio
Imrdly possible that the egro can
long remain at large.
Merchant Hund bagged.
At Winston-Haiem, N. C., Frank H.
Watlington, a merchant of that city,
was sandbagged and robbed hv throe
negroes Bunday night. After boating
Mr. Wutllngton into unconsciousness,
the norgoes dragged him about fifty
yards from the street, where they
rifled his pockets. About ono hundred
dollars In cash and some valuable
papers were seen rod by the
robbers.

None of the membors of tho court

for tho abolition of tho regiment
of negro troops, which are provided
for by law will be made by
the Southern delegation In congress.
Thua the bitter debate that marked
the final days of tho Koosovolt
administration threatens to be renewed.
The evidence discovered by the officers
who compose the court Is wild
to be susceptible of complete proof.
Certain members, it la reported,
made personal examination of buildings
across the road from the fort I
lu Brownsville and discovered hul- i
let holes in the sldeB of three hous-1
es. Continuing their investigations,,
they discovered the bullets, which
were of the regulation army design.
Following back the line of lire as
shown by the track of the bullet,
the marksmen could have been nowhere
else than within the barracks.
The congressional defenders of the
negro infantrymen maintained that
the only tiring In the town was done
by men of the Twenty-tlfLh who had

Fought Against Their Scctlans In
tho hitn War.
In a speech at tho New York
Southern Society dinner a few nights
ago. Secretary of War Dicklusou
made this statement:
"It !? generally accepted that the
Civil War was a contest betwcou
1 people of Northern blood on one
Hido nud people of Southern blood
Qn the other. This is a great error
We are slow to look beyond genera lilies
to the essential ti>uth. The
1 Civil War was a war betwivu tho
1 States, but as to the participants
It was purely a local question. There
1 were seventeen brigadier generals,
four major generals and one llou'
tenant general In the Southern army
! who wore born In tho Northern
States. Of these, seven were born in
* the State of New York. Of the first
1 live, who were full generals of tho
Confederate ariny, Cooper, who was
the ranking officer, was born In New
York, and Albert Sidney Johnston
was of a Connecticut father and a
MKwacouseuB mother. Ktrby Smith,
the lust goneral who surrendered,
wuh of Now England parentage.
Eighty of the graduates of West
Point who entered the Confederate
arm woro t>orn in the nor-secodlng
: States.
"Hut there was reciprocity on our
part. Kentucky brought forth the
central figure of the epoch, Abraham
Lincoln; Virginia gave birth to
' Thomas, the rock of Chicamauga,
and Tennessee, produced Parragut,
the gr?*atest of the admirals. The
commanding oftlcers of 12 of Furragut's
22 ships at the battle of Now
Oreaus were l>orn in slave-holding
States. Early In the war the commanding
oftlcers of the Northern
army was a Virginian and the ranking
oftlcer of the Southern army
was a New Yorker. Southern people
when they review this list and
see how much they aro Indebted
should at least pause heforo making
generalizations. We are even under
obligations to the North for the corner-stone
of the Confederacy, the
doctrine of secession."

At 2 o'clock Sunday morning at
n hot supper at Goooe Pond, a negro
named Ned Ktuard got into an

the dead and frozen bodies of nine
.of the crew of the Bessemer and
Marquette ferry No. 2, which loft
Conueaut, Ohio, Tuesday morning,
carrying 32 meu and probably
foundered in the mlddlo of Luke
Erie.
For 4 8 hours the Commodore
Porry luid been scouring tho wtitors
of eastern Lake Erie for tho traces
of the car ferry but, until a tiny
ten-man yawl was slghtiMl 1 f? miles
off Erie at 1 1 o'clock Hunday, had
almost given up hope of being ablo
ever to toll a portion of tho story
of tho fate of tho big car ferry.
Ah the Perry came abroad of the
drifting half water-logged yawl, tho
men gathered at the side of tho tlsh
boat saw that they had arrived ui
lute. The nine occupants of tho
boat, which was marked "Bessemer
and Marquette No. 4," were frozen
st.lll in death. Taking the yawl
In tow the Perry made nil steam for
Erie, arriving thorn Into Sunday.
All pollen reserves were calb-d out
and ambulances lined the wharves.
Nowh of the finding of tho boding
had reached tho city, and thousands
of persons swarmed to tho wharves.
Ah Hoon hh tho fish l>oat made afast
a force of men with tackle ?ot to
work raising the dead bodies to the
dock, where wagons were In w tiling.
Tho procession passed through
the principal streets of the city with
hundreds of people following it.
At tho coroner's morgue tho following
identifications were made:
II. Thomas, second cook. Port Stanley;
William Kay, J. W. Sonars,
waiter; O. K. Smith, steward; F.
Stool, fireman; J. Shenk, fireman;
.1. Hart, oiler; P. llagen; Charles
Allen, all of Conncaut.
Tho cook of tho car ferry was
tho only mun to wear an overcoat.
Tho eight other men wore dressed
In overalls and Jumpers, Indicating
that departure from the car ferry
had been hurried. In the how end
}of the boat was found complete
clothing for one man and It is tho
belief thut the yawl orlglnHlly contained
ton men and that one bocoming
craz?nl had discarded his
clothing and Jumed into tho Joy

Albert J. Wolse, of Erie, treasurer
of the Keystone Fish company,
and tho Pair Htato Iron works, was
