Topeka, Kims., Nov. 10. Sheriff Cook
and Deputy Sheriff "Williams, of this
county, were captured by two escaped
convicts" from the Fort Leavenworth
military prison this afternoon at Paul
ine, live miles south of Topeka, and
held prisoners In Hie farm-house of a.
man named Wooster for several hours.
The convicts dually escaped between a
Hue of pfdlce sent from Top"ka to re
inforce the sheriff, and are now at
large, lioth were slightly wounded.
Wooster was badly wounded by one of
ilit eimviels when he tried to tire on
them. Mrs. Wooster and Sheriff Cook
ncro held In-fore the convicts as it
shield by the prisoners in making tin Ir
es-eupo. , posse is in pursuit tonight.
.U 2.U0 o'clock this afternoon some
farmer bo-.s. near Pauline, learned
that the convicts were in the neighbor
hood. Hastily lorniing :i posse, armed
with target ritles. pistols and clubs,
they guvoehuse. Neither of the con
victs were armed, and they were un
able to make a stand. letter, Shcritf
Cool; und Deputy Williams arrived.
Coming upon the convicts, both ollieers
llreil. wounding the men. but not dis
abling thein.
The convicts then lied through a
small opening in the timber and lan
Into the house of Farmer "Woosler.
Sheriff Cook telephoned to Topeka for
assistance, and then took up the cliase.
Thinking the convicts had run around
the house, Cook darted through the
open door, intruding to sm prise them
at tlie rear door. Hut instead of this,'
the convicts had gone into the house
and tlie olllccr almost fell into their
arms.
Sheriff Cook was ordered to give up
his gun, which in. lld. Deputy Wil
llams by this time bud reached this
house and entered without knowing
what had liappined inside and lie, too,
Mas made captive by the convicts. In
the meantime rid ' of Police Staid of
Topeka, and i-ip a ollieers were on J
their way. They anived at Ihu Woos- j
ter about an hour alter Hie ollieers hud
been Imprisoned. Chief Stahl imme
diately began negotiation;! with the
convicts to give up their prisoner.? and
t surrender themselves but Hie con-
lets only laughed.
Wooster Laid Low.
Fanner Wooster then managed to get
gun and was about to moke an at
iuek on the convicts when one of them
laid him low from the butt end of a
levolver taken from one of their cap
lives. The convict broke Wonstor's
right hand and made an ugly gash in
his head. One of the convicts told '
Sheriff f'ook that he would be killed
if ho made the slightest move looking
toward their capture. In Hie mean
time this police officers on the outside
had surrounded the building hut wore
afraid to inako a move for fear that
Cook and Williams would suffer. Mrs.
Wooster had fainted (luring the excite
ment. She dually revived and at 7
o'clock the convicts placed the woman
and Sherllf Cook In front of tlioo.i as
shields und made for the door.
Then after exacting a promise from
tlie sheriff that he would not permit
the ollieers on (he uutt-ldo to (he on
them they started for Hie open. As
they left the house the frightened far
mer. Ids wife and the submissive sheriff
before them, the couvlols passed be
tween a cordon of pollen who easily
could have captured theni and slurted
for the railroad track. The sheriff n
turn had oxaeied u promise front (he
police that they would not molest Un
convicts and they did not.
After covering a considerable di.
tuiK-o down the truck, tli invlcls
suddenly disappeared through a hedgi"
fence, bidding the ollieers a mocking
farewell.
The convicts hud secured n good
start before the nfllcr-u. had reiovorod
from their surprise. Then some of the
policemen wanted lo pursue, but
Sherllf Cook would not penult it, sir
ho laid promised the convicts immun

THE GROWTH
OF OUR NAVY
Demonstrated In the Annual Report
of Chief of the Equip
ment Bureau.
THE COALING STATIONS
Rear Admiral Brndford's'Statements
Show That Over Two Million Dol
lars Were Spent Last Year for Coal.
Tlie Purchase Amounted to 324,108
Tons American Coal Now Scat
tered All Over the World Where
Stations Can Be Secured.
By Kxtlushc Wile train The Aitoclati il 1'riiS.
Washington. Nov. 10. A striking il
lustration of the growth of the Ameri
can navy is presented in the single
stntement in the annual report of Hear
Admiral It. B. Kradford, chief of the
equipment bureau of the navy thai h"
spent 2,aVS,lll last llscal year for yiM,-
10S tolls of coal at an average cost of
$T.ni per ton. The report says that
this was nearly !,,718 more tons of coal
than was used during the preceding
llscal year. Ten years ago the coal
consumption was 711,000 tons per an
num. The domestic coal costs Sti.'JO per
ton and the foreign coal, of which
there were, used lU.'i.OtiG tons, cost SS.uO
per ton. Admiral liradford has scat
tered American coal all over the world
wherever suitable storage could be
found. He has placed H',000 tons at
Yokohama
a and 5,000 tons at Piehlui- !
ilco, nml he has sent large '
que, Jlexlc
quantities to Guam and to the Philii
pines. He carried 0,000 tons by wab r
from the Atlantic coast to Mare 1s-
land, California, where it came into
competition with Knglish Cardiff coal.
They have averaged tlie same in cost,
viz., $9.29 per ton, but, at present, ow
ing to tht! .scarcity of American freight
vessels, the best Cardiff coal is con
siderably cheaper at Mate Island. It
is recommended that two large steam
tea-thousand-lon colliers be built to
keep depots supplied in time of peace
and to accompany the Meets in time of
war.
Summarizing the work accomplished I
at various co-jiiug stations during tlie 1
year, the report takes up Ciivlto and ;
says that the bureau is about to open
bids for a, 43,000-ton coaling station
there. Efforts have been made to ob- !
tain a site for a coaling station :il ,
Cebu, but thus far without success.
Coaling stations have been located nl. 1
Port Isabella, liassuilin Island, and at
Pollock, Mindanao. A complete sta
tion has been established al Yoko
hama, Japan, and it is now fully
stocked with coal. The same state
ment is true at Pachiliulque, Mexito,
where, through the courtesy of the
Mexican government, our coal and col
liers have been admitted to tlie sta
tion without port or customs of any
kind, in tlie AVest Indies, a little work
has been done at San Juan on the
coaling scale, but Admiral Bradford
expresses regret that little progicss
has been made in securing sites for
other coal depots in the AVost Indies.
Cuba Should Be. available.
It is said to be particularly essen
tial that some of the deep-wa'.er ports
of Culm should bo made available lor
this purpose, as tlie entire waters sur
rounding Cuba are most Important in
a strategic sense and supplies of coal
should be near at hand. h'stlmuies
are submitted for improvement of llu
coaliug stations at most of the Atlan
tic ports, Including a complete mod
ern plant at Norfolk. Admiral lirad
ford specifically says:
"As the department is aware, af
forts are being inudo to establish other
navul coal depots at important locali
ties, which it is deemed unvlo lo dis
cuss hi 11 report of a public character,"
Admiral Urndfurd s.iys very little
about his favoiite project In a triins
Paellle submarine telegraph cable,
contenting himself with the slalenient
that the bureau Is now In possession
of all data reiiulred, so far as sureys
are concerned, to lay this cable. In
the same conenetlon, ho renews his
recommendation for a careful examin
ation of the Pacltle ocean west of the
Hawaiian Islands, to locate dangers to
navigation, lie recommends that ad
ditional hydrogruphlc olllees be estab
lished at Manila und at Peusucolu, Pin.
The report says that the subject of
wireless telegraphy was followed care
fully during lhe year, but it does not
appear advisable to adopt any particu
lar system tit present or to aciitlro any
more apparatus than necessary for
purposes of instruction. It is clear
that no system, as yet, has passed be
yond tlio experimental stage. Though
most of the principal naval powers
have adopted some form of wireless
telegraphy for their ships, It Is be
lieved, from Hie reports received, that
none are satisfactory. It was clearly
shown during the International yacht
races that the diillcultles of "Interfer
ence" could uol be overcome with the
apparatus now in use.

COMPLICATIONS IN THE
CASE OF MISS STONE
Mr. Dickinson Threatens to Hold the
Bulgarian 'Government Responsi
ble for Harm That May Come
toi the Captive.
lly i:Lhisivi- V ,- tiom The Asiociateil l'rcir.
So flu, liultturiu, Nov. 10. Informa
tion has bdeu received here from
Doubnitza that the baud of brigands
holding captive Miss Kllen M. Stone.
,lle Aln'jri ,,l missionary, called about I
" 'wlnight ago ..t the village of Smet-
chevo and subseiiucntly proceeded to
I the monastery of the Itilo, but the
i movements of the troops compelled the
brigands to .lice toward tho frontier,
where they are now In hiding.
It is also asserted that the brigands
have recently been treating Hiss Stone
'tilth more severity in order to exer
cise pressure and to compel a more
ready acceptance of the conditions.
, Consul General Dickinson is inflexible.
He insists thut tho surrender of Miss
' Stone must precede or be. simultaneous
! with the payment of the. ransom. Ills
I attitude is Justilied by the known de
I termination of some members of the
band, particularly the captain, S?an
ilaslcy, lo kill Miss Slone and her
companion, so soon as the ransom is
received, owing to the fact Hint tho
captives have now acquired informa
tion concerning lhe secret committees.
Competent persons, however, express
the opinion that tho cupidity of the
brigands will overcome the fear of re
velations, and all such approve the de
claration of Air. Dickinson.
Yesterday Mr. Dickinson made ener
getic, representations to the Bulgarian
government against the movements of
the Dulgnriuu iroops, reproaching the
1 otllelals with the fact that notwith
standing their solemn promises to give
I him all assistance In their power, their
1 action was embarrassing tho negotia
tions, retarding a settlement and plac
ing in jeopardy the life of Miss Stone.
He made a definite declaration that tho
Bulgarian
overnntetit would be held
responsible for the death of Miss Stone
and of all the consequences of her
death, should It be proved that tho
attitude of the Bulgarian government
lorced the brigands to kill their cap
tive. THE COLOMBIAN

canted the greatest excitement among

I It seems that General Trlbe-Trlbo
refused to believe the report, declaring
I that lu; had no fears as to the future
' of the Liberal caus-e, because President
Castro hud given hint a cast-iron pledge
not to forsako him.
"Should President Castro prove un
true to the Liberal cause, exclaimed
General Uribe-Urlbe, "tho result would
1 be his ruin. Tho war will eater Co
I lombia before Christmas."
l There Is considerable feeling against
i the Castro family among the Colombian
! Liberals and along the frontier, in con-
M-quenci- of a widespread rumor that
celestlno Castro, who Is commander in
chief at Kail Cristobal, has been pri
vately selling cattle to the enemy, tho
cattle being whisked across the fron
tier by means of alleged raids of Co
lombian Conservatives, Dining one of
these raids a dozen soldiers were killed
on both sides. It In said that the cattle
change hands at a prearranged price

Is chawed directly to Celestlno Castro

Paris, N'ov. 10. Tlie French foreign
olllco has announced thai the sultan

Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman minister of
roreign affairs, wrote a letter to M.
liapst, councillor of the French em
bassy, In Constantinople, notifying hint
of the signing of the Irudc, which, while
settling the. original French demands
accepts the fresh demands as set forth
in a dispatch to tho Temps from Con
stantinople Friday nntl cabled to the
Associated Press, together Willi uti ad
ditional clause by which the sultan
pledges himself to consider as author
ized in full right the foundations, ex
tensions, constructions and repairs or
the schools and religious and hospit
able establishments, which France may
desire to carry out If the porte is ad
vised of her intentions, and makes no
objection within live months.

faction and M."DeIcasse on the receipt,
of M. Bapst's dispatch this morning

The Press Comments.
Paris, Nov, 11, Tlie morning papers,
in their comments on the termination
. of the Franco-Turkish incident, fol
low party lines strictly. The suppor-
t tors of the government hall the out
come as a gieat diplomatic, nio;lil and
I material success. Other Journals eilhi"'
' affect scepticism Willi reference to the
linal outcome or assume that it is reui-
1 ly ,1 check disguised by the sultan.
' Sonic papers even hint Unit France
has actually backed down, owing to
the coolness with which Hie poweis
I luue received her explanations logatd-
. ing Hie objections and the scope of'
' the naval demonstration.
I "We hope the demonstration will be
sullleient to restore forever the pres
tige of Franco in the Fast." says the
Figaro. "Doubtless the very near tit
luru will show if so great a result has
been obtained so cheaply."
Tin.' Gaulois, while admitting that
success has been achieved, remarks:
"The instability of the government
and the contradictory policy of its di
plomacy, are such that even the sultan
thought there was no risk in trailing
the French like mere Armenians. The
Mllyleue expedition Ik sild to have dis
abused hint, bill must we always mo
bilize a licet in order to force a foreign
nation to respect us'.'"
The Seicle remarks: "We have an
other promlbi! added to so many. Wo
tiro somewhat in a hurry In announc
ing the end of the Franco-Turkish enn
lliet,, The Petit Parsieime, which voice
the views of the government says: "H
Is for Frunei' a considerable dlplomatl'
Miccess. The rapidity and precision 01
the nunemeiit of Hie squadron was a
military success which Kiirnpu has no
Heed. Our dignity In the Levant and
