herortjf»ilpn here is still serious. The
revoivpe
\sf

continue to concentrate

lliOtJHavana,De!
No Trouble at Havana.
Oct. 3.—The disarming of
.rebel forces in the immediate vicinity
of Havana began today without opposi
tion. Many men are allowed to keep
arms which they claimed to be person
al property. Special trains during the
day will convey the disbanded troops
homeward. No trouble Is reported to
have occurred in many parts of the
(island. Preparations are being made
at the palace for the reception of Gov
ernor Taft, who .establishes offices
there this afternoon.
Marines on Special.
Pour hundred and fifty marines from
Camp Columbia left for the Pinar del
Rio region by a special train last night.
The orders came from Governor Taft
ot 6 o'clock, and half an hour later the
Y'ttalion
had boarded a train and de­
parted for the west. While no disor
der is anticipated when the revolution
ists, who are disbanding, reach their
home, the provisional government and
military authorities consider the actu
al military occupation of the Pinar del
Rio region quite as essential as the oc
cupation of the other portions of the ls
U-nd. and regard it: best to have
American force there to insure the pre
servation of order.
Disperse in Three Days.
-One thousand of Guerra's followers
will go to Pinar del Rio on special
trains, wlille 1,800 others will start to
marcn to their homes, taking with
them their horses and extra mounts.
It is the purpose, eventually, to restore
tall horses to their rightful owners.
}T-t is believed all revolutionists in the
icinity of Havana will have been
"X eacefully dispersed in three days. Gen
ral Guerra and Castillo are actively
(v-operating to this end.

J'OAKLAND
HAS BIG CHINATOWN.
Ten Thousand.Celestials Find Quar
ters Across the Bay.
Oakland, Cal., Oct. 3.—Ten thousand
Chinese, nearly every one of them
r|| paving crossed the bay since the fire,
iow occupy homes in Oakland's new
Chinatown, which has sprung up along
mJ Firat, Third and Fourth streets, be
.• tween Alice and Webster.
Scarcely a day passes when a permit
is not sought at the city hall for the
prection of a frame building, not ex
ceeding $300 to $400 in cost. A major
ity of these buildings are for stores in
which a room or two is apportioned for
.' lodgers.
A notable exception Is the $50,000
frame structure at Eighth and Harri
son, on the edge of the old Chinatown,
and which is said to be intended for a
theater. License Inspector Conley
looks on the Chinese as a fair source
of revenue to the city, and estimates
that there will be 25,000 of them in
Bide of a year if the present increase
is sustained. They are gradually
spreading beyond the ample boundar
ies alloted the:j, and may extend to
the old settlement.

Roy Hoyle, a special officer for the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, who assisted
in the defense of the jail, was killed.
Among the jail defenders wounded
was Aid. A. S. Lyons.
News of the negro's crime Inflamed
a section of the citizens, whose nerves
already were on edge as a result of the
second storm experiences, which start
ed out to capture the negro. A fierce
hand to hand fight occurred at the door
of the jail. Hoyle and Lyons were shot
in the first volley.
Victim Mob Seeks is Boy.
The negro, Dick Robinson, who Is
only 17, and still wearing short trous

year old daughter of Blount Sossaman,
who lives about three miles from here.

not far from her home when she was
attacked. Later, she was found lying
unconscious by the roadside and was
taken to her home.
Detectives were placed on «the track
of the negro and within three hours he
was captured. He was taken before
the Sossaman girl, who at once Jdentl
fled him. Deputy Sheriff Fatch, know
ing that the life of the negro would be
taken by a mob if he brought him into
this city, caused him to be conveyed to
a station several miles up the Mobile
and Ohio railroad.
Speakers Urge Crowd to Lynch.
There have been several assaults
upon white women within the last few
weeks and the news of this latest out
rage caused intense wrath and ex
citement. As early as 6 o'clock in the
evening crowds of men commenced to
gather in the downtown streets, and by
8:30 500 men had formed at the inter
section of Royal and Dauphin streets.
The crowd was harangued by several
speakers, who urged them to take the
life of the negro if he could be found,
and in a short time the entire crowd
was on the march for the jail.
Sheriff Powers met the leader of the
mob and informed them that the man
they were seeking was not in the jail
and had never been brought there. He
offered to let anybody whom he person
ally knew pass through the jail to sat
isfy the crowd of the truth of his state
ment.
About forty men walked through the
corridors, some of them returning and
assuring the members of the mob that
the man was not there.
Force Door With Telephone Pole.
While several men, including Hoyle
and Lyons, were still in the Jail a por
tion of the crowd led by a tall, raw
boned man, whose name is not known,
seized a telephone pole which had been
blown down in the recent storm and
dashed It against the closed part of a
double door, one-half of which was
open. The door fell with a crash, and
almost instantly a shot came from a
revolver in the hands of a man stand
ing in the gate. Others followed, and
Hoyle and Lyons fell.

remain where he is.

EXTORTERS TO PLEAD GUILTY.
Willing to Admit That They Tried to
Force Money from Mrs. Robinson.
Racine, Wis., Oct 3.—Frederick
•cocking and Hiram Ml'ler, arrested in
Milwaukee on Monday on a charge of
threatening to kill Mrs. Richard Rob
inson or members of her family If $25,
000 were not paid them, were arraign
ed yesterday. They were willing to
waive examination and enter pleas of
guilty, but were not given the oppor
tunity, because the district attorney
has not gathered all the evidence.
Their examination was continued a
week. Stocking and Miller were
sent to jajl as they were unable to fur
nish $2,500 bond.
Stocking has confessed that he was
the instigator of the plot and that Mil
ler, his brother- in-law, knew nothing
of the affair until Sept. 27, when the
money was in a Milwaukee bank. Then
Stocking Btys he informed Miller of his
attempt to extort money and that he
was using cha name of 1 J^thci- Roman.
Miller declared he was innocent un
til he endeavored to aid Stocking.
Stocking's reasons for making a de
mand for money from the Robinsons
was because of the wealth of the fam
ily, which fact he learned while su
perintending the interior decorating
and furnishing of the Robinson home
and the deep interest and comradeship
of parents, son and daughter.
"AL" ADAMS NOT SUICIDE?
Coroner Is Not Convinced that There
Was No Foul Play.
New York, Oct. 3.—Coroner Harbur
ger yesterday gave an Intimation that
he was not convinced that the death
of "Al" Adams, the former policy king,
was a case of suicide. The coroner
said:
"The police and all the witnesses to
the death of Adams believe he com
mitted suicide, but the position In
which I found his body, lying over a
chair and the head resting near a cus
pidor, leads me to believe that there
might have been foul play.
"I am In doubt as to the motive for
a man of such wealth to take his life.
The force of the shot penetrated the
forehead and the ball hit the door, im
beding itself in the wall. This shows
how powerful the shot was that ended
his life. It is supposed that he got out
of bed at 7:45 a. m. Generally people
do not commit suicide when they rise
from slumber."

Give* Out Statement Defending
Courts From Editor.
New York, Oct. 3.—Judge Alton B.
Parker last night gave out a state
ment in reply to an attack made upon
him by William R. Hearst In a recent
campaign speech. In his address
Hearst said Parker had appeared in
an election case on the side of election
criminals in the court he formally
graced, and there argued and secured
a re'versal of an opinion he had former
ly rendered.
Parker says in his statement that
he has fr years "submitted without
reply to Hearst's wanton assaults,"
and would not now pay any attention
to his "insulting and maliciously false
speech" were It not from the Infer
ence that the speech constituted an at
tack upon the court. While that court
needs no defense, Parker says "an op
portunity Is afforded to warn the peo
ple that a man having such concep
tions of the judiciary as will permit
him to make such an attack, ought
never be permitted to name men for
the bench, as it Is said Hearst con
templates doing under the Murphy
