Washington, March 12. (Spl.)-At

been hoped and wns believed that Gen

Indicate that the war in the Philip

From private sources the Information
Is brought that tho rebellion will con

surgents will be given opportunity to

Louisville, Ky., March 12.-(Spl.)-
Clvll war practically rages In Kentucky
today. Both Governors today fear the
other will attempt to nrrebt him and
both nie surrounded by armies. Armed
for any emergency, about 75 special of
ficers today arc patrolllug in and about
the Capital hotel, Beckham's head
quarters, lo guaid against any attack
by Taylor's army ' in itato licusc
square.
Taylor's military force wns supple
mented by the arrival of a company of
GS men from B.irbourvllle. They were
'iiuirtered in the State House Sfiur.re,
and cannon was brought out to lend a
mote war like rolo-inp to the scene.

today the soldiers would be ordered to

Dchoney swore In nn extra guard of
about 75 men, who armed themselves
heavily. About 50 of them remained

of the men to be arrested will be kept
secret until the arrests nrc made. Tay-
lor says the ?100,000 reward bill pass
ed by the Legislature is simply a fund
to HWfiir nway the lives of innocent
ltepubllcniiH nnd that ho means to
pioti-ct them. The Lexington company
of state mllltln has deserted to Beck
bam. A battle between the Barbour-
vijlc company and tho deserters nt Lex
ington was expected when the train
rnshpd through there. The trip wart
inniie by way of Paris, and at Itlch-
mmid news was received of the capture
of Secretary of State Fowcrs and Cap
tain Davis. Captain Black saw that
nt once an attempt to capture the men
lu bis command was very probable.
Cal"ng his men together he cautioned
them to keep cool and deliberate. Tho
blinds of both coaches were dinwn
down and the doors locked. A stern
command was given, there was a click
us tho men deftly tilled their rifles with
ball cartridges and then came the mo
ments of suspense and watching as the
train drew near Lexington. The men
ciouched down between the seats, pre
pared to give the attacking party a
Ihely time. Cnptain Black's fears
weie not groundless, as was f.howti
about a mile from Lexington, when
two blue coated bcouls, mounted on
swift horses rode rapidly away townid
the city when they discerned the train.
Xo attempt, however, was made to In
terfere with the train and It passed
swiftly through Lexington. As it
n eared Frankfort th blind- wpre
again drawn and the cou.pacy ngnin
piejiared to resist capture. There was
no Interference though and the troops
disembarked In front of the state
house and went into camp with picked
nieu there.
