A BUNCO KING ESCAPES'
Prisoner Reed Takes Quick Leave
‘ of His Guard.
RULRR GREEN GOODS TRUST
He Was Serving a Fourteen Years Sentence
in the Massachusetts State Prison. He
Was Taken to Worcester to Consult; Law-
yer and Eluded His Keeper. Reed Was
a Noted Confidence Man.
Worcester, Mass, Nov. 1.—John Reed.
the notorious bunco king, who was ser—
ving a sentence of from eleven to four-
teen years in the state prison, escaped
from a keeper at the Sherwood House
in this city early yesterday morning.
Reed was brought to this city by
Keeper J. L. Abbott of the state prison
for consultation with his counsel, Col-
onel \V. A. Gile of this city.
The keeper took his man to the Sher-
wood House, where an appointment
was made to meet Colonel Gile, and re-
mained with the prisoner all the even-
ing when Reed’s wife, 'who came up
from Boston, called. .
Shortly before 12.30 o’clock Abbott
left the room to go to an adjoining
room, and when he returned about ten
minutes later, found that his precious
prisoner was gone.
A hurried ‘search of the hotel was
made, but no trace of Reed was to be
found, and Abbott notified local police
headquarters.
No trace of the famous prisoner was
round after he left the hotel, and the
local police and Abbott believe it pos-
sible that Reed caught the 12.29 a. n1.
train for New York and the West.
The local police are scouring the
town and the police of all surrounding
towns were telephoned a description of
the man.
Abbott telegraphed the police of
Springfield in time to intercept the man
if he was aboard the western bound
train.
Reed is thirty-nine years of age, five
feet eight inches tall, weighs about
165 pounds, has light hair and light blue
eyes, wore a brown derby hat, black
overcoat with satin lining, blue suit.
colored shirt with a red stripe and a
white standing collar.
The overcoat belonged to Proprietor
P. H. Hurley and was taken by Reed
from the hallway as he left the ho—
tel.
John Reed, alias George Spencer,
alias John Greenhalge, was arrested
at Philadelphia last January for swind-
ling several Massachusetts farmers by
the three—card monte and green goods
games. .
He was 00mm0nly known as the
“prince of confidence men,” and was
reported to be one of an association of
brainy, unscrupulous men who are be-
lieved to have formed a green goods
trust with a capital of five hundred
thousand dollars.
It was supposed that there were at
least eight men in this trust'. Their
field of endeavor extended from Ver-
mont and Massachusetts in the east,
to Kentucky in the South and Indiana
in the West. Traces of their nefarious
progress have been visible in seventeen
states.
In Indiana alone the unsophisticated
gave up about $60, 000 to the “Green
Goods Trust.”
For the Nlcaragu Canal.
New York, Nov. 1.—A dispatch re-
ceived by William R. Grace & Co. yes-
terday confirms the report that the
Nicaragua. Congress has granted to
Edward F. Cragin of Chicago, Edward
Frye and Frank Washburne a conces-
sion for the building of the ship ca-
113.1.
The concession will take effect in Oc-
tober, 1899, when the Cardinas—Menpcal
grant, which was obtained in 1889 by
the Nicaragua Canal Company, an or-
ganization with which ,Warner Miller
is prominently identified, expires.
Mr. Grace said yesterday afternoon
that the syndicate had not yet met.
and he did not feel at liberty to tell
the names of the capitalists forming
it. He said, however, that C. P. Hunt-
ington was not interested.
Porto Rican Gets a Commission.
Washington, Nov. 1.—-The first na-
tive Porto Rican to receive a commis-
sion in the United States army is Dr.
Jose Lugo—Vina, who was recently ap—
pointed, after a personal consultation
with the surgeon—general of the army
and other officers of the war depart-
ment.
Dr. Luge-Vina was appointed to be
an acting assistant surgeon and has al—
ready been ordered to report to Major
Nathan S. Jarvis, brigade surgeon at
New York, and to sail on the first
steamship for Ponce, Porto Rico.
He has been a practicing physician
in his native country and was appoint-
ed to the military service because of
his expert knowledge of treatment for
yellow fever and other diseases pre-
valent in the island.
‘7'7' llIore Indian Troubles
'Washington, Nov. 1,—Word has
reached the interior department of
trouble threatened by a band of young
Sioux on the Pine Ridge agency in
North Dakqta, who are reported to
have started an organized movement
for the forcible removal of Indian
Agent Clapp from the reservation.
There is nothing on file at the depart-
ment that is averse to Agent Clapp.
The agent is an army officer who is ex-
ecuting his duties satisfactorily and
the "question of removal or transfer is
not to be entertained.
In Honor of Surgeon Gibbs.
Washington, Nov. 1.—The president
has directed that the general field hos-
pital at Camp- Hamilton, Lexington,
Ky., be known as the John Blair Gibbs
United States Army General Hospital,
in honor of Assistant Surgeon John
Blair Gibbs, United States navy, who
died on June 1231898, frOm wounds re-
ceived in an engagement with the
Spaniards at Guantanamo.

BLANCO’S ORDER MAYSTlFIES.
May be a Clever-Scheme to Delay Evacu-
ation Further.
Washington, Nov.
1.——-Two construc— '
i
tions are put upon the recent order of .
General Blanco that the Spanish troops
in Cuba..-shall not be discharged, but
shall first go to Spain and receive their
pay.
This cancels the previous order of
October 4, saying that such Spaniards
as desired could remain in Cuba.
Should the troops chose to return
under this later order to Spain it would
give the Spaniards a pretext for ask-
ing a longer time for evacuation, which
may be their desire.
On the other hand it is urged by a
high war department official that the
cause of this order lies in the inability
of Blanco to pay them and in the hope,
therefore, that they would desert and
thereby relieve the Spanish government
of further obligation.
The Spanish regular troops in Cuba.
are now much scattered, and number
about 85,775. 11 the Province of Pinar
del Rio there are in all 10,450 men. In
the Province of Havana there are 14.- "
100 men. In the Province of Matanzas
there are 8,500 men.
In the Province of Santa. Clara there
are 23,206 men, of whom 12,550 men are
in the Spiritu division. In the Trocha
Jucaro Moron there are 6,100 men.
In the Province of Puerto Principe
there are 5,000 men.
The Province 01' Santiago originally
contained 13,525 in the Manzanillo 'di-
vision, 7, 700 in the Holguin division and
21, 250 in the Santiago division.
the total of 42, 425 men in Santiago prov-
ince about 24,000 men have been trans-
ported to Spain, leaving about 18,425
now there.
These are regular Spanish troops,
with whose transportation the com-
missioners will have to reckon.
Besides these there were over 80,000
volunteers and guerillas.
Civil Service Refonners. .
W‘ashington, Nov. 1.—The Civil Ser- '
vice Reform League has sent a letter
to the president expressing its hope
that he will not, as“ reported in the
public press, withdraw a number of
places now filled by civil service meth-
ods from the scope of the civil service '
rules. The letter says:
“The League submits for your con—
sideration the
changes, whatever their motive and
however plausibly they may be explai-
ned by those by whom they are sug-
gested, will be greeted alike by the
friends and enemies of the merit sys—
tem as a step backward—a step the
more significant because itu'ill be the
first step backward avowedly taken by
the executive branch of the government
since the civil service law took ef-
fect.”
Last. “'cek of Ike Conipalgn.
New York, Nov. 1.——The last week of
the campaign opened .with unusual
snap at Republican campaign head—
quarters. Chairman Odell and Colonel
Roosevelt were on hand early making
arrangements for the fight in New
York county.
Chairman Quigg of the county com-
mittee was in conference with the colo-
nel for some time yesterday regarding
the local campaign.
The colonel will practically devote
the remaining days before election to
his canvass in Greater New York. He
will spend one day, Vednesday, on
Long Island, and will make short runs
to Albany and Troy, but otherwise he
will confine his work to this locality.
. The Tammany speakers’ bureau has
made arrangements for several meet-
ings in- each assembly district every
night this week. In a ‘few days the
executive committee will meet to re-
ceive the usual yearly election predic—
tions of the district leaders. Each
leader will submit an estimate of the
vote in his district.
Judge Augustus Van Wyck spoke in
Utica with ex-Governor Hill last eve—
ning. He will return to» New York to—
day. He has only three more-speaking
dates—Poughkeepsie, November 3; Al'-
bany, November 4, and Troy, Novem-
b0] 5.
Foreign Co- porrgttons Must Pay.
Washington, Nov. 1,—The United
States supreme court has'announced
its decision sustaining the constitution—
ality of that feature of the tax laws
of New York, which lays a tax on for-
eign corporations doing business in the
state, according to the capital em-
ployed.
The case was instituted against
James A. Ruberts, controller of the
state of New York, to test the law and
to vacate an assessment made on the
capital of a large ,Western drug house
which has a branch‘in the city of New
York.
The lower court sustained the valid-
ity of the law, and the supreme court
now affirms this decision.
Indiana Strike Lenders Shot
W'ashington Depot, Ind.,
Richard Reibmeister and Alonzo Rags-
dale, coal strike'leaders, were shot by
a. non-union miner,
yest'érday.
Kocher claims that Ragsdale tried to
hit him with a brick and that Reib-
meister attempted to strike him.
Kocher fired five shots, two of them
taking effect in Ragsdale’s neck and .
one in Reibmeister’s side. Ragsdale is
seriously hurt.
The Celtic at Bahia.
Washington, Nov. 1.—The Celtic, one
of the colliers accompanying the battle-
ships Oregon and owa. on their voyage
to Honolulu, put in at Bahia yesterday
and cabled notice of her arrival to the
department.
As the Celtic left. Tompkinsville at
the same time as the battleships, it is
expected at the department that the
latter will also arrive a, Bahia in a
day or two.

Reported Orders for Volunteer Mobiliz -

ported Change of French Policy Con-
cerning Ali-ici. To Raise the \Vluote
E;yptiou Question.
London, Nov._1.—T11e British naval
preparations are being pushed with
great activity. The British emergency
squadron is assembling at Devonport
with all possible’speed.
Seven battleships and one cruiser
have been thus far designated to join
this squadron.
Officers and sailorshave been hur—
riedly recalled from leaves of absence.
several battleships and cruisers at
Portsmouth are taking their full crews
on board. and other warlike prepara-
tions are being made. A number of
signal men on duty with the British
.channel squadron, which arrived at
‘ Gibraltar this morning, have been or-
dered home for service, it is presumed,
on board the auxiliary cruisers, if the
latter are required for active service.
A supposed Russian spy was arrested
at a fort near Harwlcn yesterday mor-
ning. The man was already under sur—
veillance and went to a redoubt, where
he tried to obtain some information
from a sentry regarding the fortifica-
tions. '
He was promptly arrested and inqui-
ries are being made regarding his an-
tecedents.
It was asserted yesterday that the
commanding officers of the London vol-
unteer regiments have received orders
to prepare for immmediate mobiliza—
tion, and that the different artillery
corps have been informed of their al-
lotments to the forts on the southern
and eastern coasts.
The Pall Mall Gazette yesterday af-
ternoon said; -
; “England has been and even now is
so near war that the government has
, carried its preparations to the farthest
'. limit of the preparatory stage. It has
been arranged to call out'the reserves
and militia, and to mobilize the volun-
teers simultaneously, and to form large
camps at various important railroad
junctions, where rolling stock and loco-
motives will be concentrated.”
There was an unexpected gloomy
feeling yesterday morning on the stools:
exchange, and the Pat‘is'"Bourse, both
these markets being influenced appar—
ently by the aggressive tone of some
of the French papers.
Paris, Nov. 1.——The Eclair says that
it learns on reliable authority that the
Fashoda question will be settled favor-
ably to Great Britain by the recall of
Major Marchand. France, the pape1
adds, yields all, reserving only the
question of the right to the Bahrel-
[Ghazal district, which she does not
iconsider as belonging to Egypt. The
papel also says:
I “M. Delcasse, however, has now de-
(ided to raise the whole Egyptian ques-
tion, which should have been done from
the first, thus avoiding the humiliation
of yielding to the British ultimatum.
When the question is thus enlarged,
France will not be alone in its discus-
sion with the Marquis of Salisbury.
Egypt interests all the powers. Russia
has promised M. Delcasse its most ef-
fective assistance, and, besides Ger-
many has the biggest interest, in view
of her East African possessions and
trade in the far East, that the Suez
canal should not become exclusively
British, and is disposed to support
Fianco— Russian arguments for a defi—
nite settlement of the Egyptian ques-
tion.’
Work at Halifax.
Halifax, N. S., Nov. 1.—-—Every availa-
ble shipwright in this city has been
engaged by the naval authorities here,
13316 the- battleships and other vessels
A for Sea as soon as possible.
Saturday the men worked all day,
something unprecedented in the dock
yard here. The great activity display-
ed is the result of messages from the
home authorities.
The battleship Renown, the cruisers
Pelican and Cordelia, the gunbost Co—
)lumbine, and two torpedo boats are
now here and are being fitted out as
soon as possible.
1 So far they have not been ordered
iaway, but instructions to that effect
are hourly expected.
A Yellow Fever Bark Missing,
Norfolk, "Va., Nov. 1.—-The wherea-
I bouts of the bark Maryland, on which,
5 when at Havana, there were five cases
of yellow fever and three deaths, is a
mystery.
The Maryland sailed from Havana
. on October 18 for Baltimore against the
protest of Dr. Brunner, sanitary inspec-
5 tor of the marine hospital service at
iHavana, who advised the captain to
proceed to Tortugus quarantine.
The Maryland, had she entered the
capes of Virginia. would have been
held up at quarantine, but the officials
yesterday said that nothing had been
seen of the vessel, on which it is feared
other cases of the disease have devel-
oped.‘
' Sioux Threaten I‘roub‘e
Washington, Nov. 1.———Word has been
received here by the interior depart-
ment that a band of young Sioux on
the Pine Ridge agency in North Dako-
ta, have organized a mOvement for the
forcible removal of Indian Agent Clapp
from the reservation.
Secretary. Bliss said yesterday there
was nothing on file at the department
that is adverse to Agent Clapp, and
that the question of removal or trans-
fer is not to be entertained.
