SPRING ST. Union Junction robbery. Chief Harrigan learned from a furniture dealer that a honse on Swan avenue had been fitted up for four men and one woman. The gang disappeared from the house three days after the Glendale robbery, leaving the furniture behind them. Their baggage was traced to the depot, thence to Omaha, where the party split, taking different routes west.

From the descriptions of the fugitives no doubt was left in the minds of the police and detectives that Sly was their leader. On Satnrday last a man answering Sly's description was arrested by Robert Pinkerton in the Los Angeles post-office. He denied that his name was Sly, saying it was A. S. Denton.

That clinche'd matters, as Sly's full name is Adelbert Denton Sly. In bis possession was found 2000, a lot of personal property and the watch taken from Messenger Mulrennan of the Adams Express at Glendale. Sly's arrest was kept quiet until today, with a view to get. ing some of the balance of the gang. This hope was partially realized today, when, as announced in a press dispatch from San Francisco, a woman calling herseft Florence Waterman, who the detectives assert is connected with the gang, was arrested in that cityt The officers feel confident that it is now a comparatively easy task to secure the rest of the gang.

Sly's avowed ambition is to be a second Jesse James, but aside from bis daring and utter disregard of distinction of mcum and tuum, his most notable characteristic is singularly abstemious habits. The other men associated with Sly in the robbery are equally desperate, and all are well-known ta the police. Marion Hedpeth, whose wife or mistress was today arrested in San Francisco, was first connected with the affair by local detectives under Chief Desmond. Another man whom the detectives want for robbery, but who is still at large, is L. R.

Wilson of Omaha, a man of notorious character, who has been concerned In several affairs, but -always managed to escape prison. CHINESE DIPLOMACY.

Besides four 10-lnch breech-loading rifles, two 8-pounder Hotch-kiss rapid-firing guns and two 37-mllll-meter Hotchklss revolving cannon, the vessel has the very newest thing in ordnance, two 6-pounder Schroeder rapid-firing cannon. These gnns have never been tried on a United States cruiser before.

They throw a six-pound, bighly-explssive shell every fifteen or twenty seconds from a distance of 8600 yards with the greatest accuracy. They can be used at 7000or 8000 yards.

Fresh Outbreak of tha Messiah Craza Among1 Indians. Chejennes and Arapahoeg Holdlns; Wild Orgies In Indian Territory Tie Old Talk of Expelling Whites and Bringing Bsc It Builalos. 1v Telegraph to The Timet. Fort Reno (I. Dec.

30. By the Associated Press. The Messiah craze has broken out afresh among the Chey-ennes and Arapahdes, and no little anxiety is felt. While it is quiet enough near the reservation buildings, dancing has been going on in the hills for several days and the craze is apparently spreading. The leaders are Whirlwind and Old Crow of the Cheyenne and Left Hand, head chief of the Arapahoes.

At first the gatherings were small, but Indians have been streaming into the camp until now there are from 1000 to 2200 present. Tbey declare that the Messiah who Is to expel the whites, bring back the buffalo and restore the hunting grounds Is soon coming, and the "ghost dance" will be kept up day and night until he arrives. Runners have come in from Walker's Lake, inciting the Indians to activity and predicting an early appearance of the Messiah. The 'ghost dance" goes on day and night, the Indians being divided into relays, one party relieving the other as fatigue overcomes them. All are provided with "ghost" shirts, and seem terribly in earnest.

Scouts report that wild whoops and yells can be heard at all hours, day and night, from the hills where the tribes are gathered. As yet the excitement has not reached the Comancbes, but it is feared they too may become involved. This is regarded as a serious danger, as the Comanches have ample supplies and ponies. In which the Cheyennes and Arapahoes are -deficient. All are well armed with Winchesters and revolvers.

Officers experienced in Indian warfare are not inclined to believe that any serious outbreak will occur at present, as the Indians have a horror of a winter campaign, but the excitement may cause them to depart from their usual practice.

The Wife of One of the Glendale Gang: Caught in Oakland. The Recent Arrest In This City Proves an Important One. "Lenton," the Man Captured, Proves to be Sly, the Leader of the Band, an ex-Convict Much Wanted In Missouri.

By Telegraph to The Timet. San Francisco, Dec. 80. By the Associated Press. A woman giving; the name of Florence Waterman has been arrested by a detective here and it is claimed that she not only acknowledges being the wife ot Marlon Hedpeth, who is suspected of being one of the gang of train robbers which held up the train at Glendale, November 80, but has given information which may lead to the arrest of other members of the band in addition to Albert Sly, who was arrested last week in Los Angeles by Detectives Pinkerton and Whittaker, and who was taken East on Sunday without the formality of extradition papers.

On December 14 Detective Robert A Pinkerton was in this city paying a social viiit. When he was about to return East he received a telegram from Chief of Police Harrigan of St. Louis stating that he believed that two of the robbers were on this Coast. Subsequently similar information was wired to Chief Crowley, giving a description of the men. Among other things he stated that a trunk had ben shipped to Oakland to Marion Hedpeth, but it was addressed to Florence A.

Waterman, a woman who Is supposed to be the robber's wife. Chief Crowley turned the matter over to Capt. Lees, and, at the request of Chief Harrigan, Lees, Crow, ley and Pinkerton were asked to cooperate in the search for the robbers. From further information received from Harrigan it was learned that one of the men could be found in Los Angeles. Pinkerton and Ross Whittaker therefore proceeded to that city and there found Albert Denton Sly, one of the robbers.

He was conducting a saloon. After his arrest upon his person was found a watch stolen from the messenger of the train. Meanwhile Lees, assisted by Detect Ives Silvey, Byranv and Cody, kept a sharp lookout for the trunk which was in the Wells-Fargo express office in Oakland. Ever since the 14th of the month the office has been sbadowed night and day. The officers were san guine of success.

They felt sure that sooner or later the owner would apply for the trunk. was spoiled yesterday morning, however, by the publication of a telegram dated Los An geles which recited the details of Sly's capture Dy finKerton. This put Hedpeth on his guard and lorced him to seek seclusion as remote from danger as possible. Yesterday, nowever, the watchful officers were re warded by seeing Florence Waterman walk into the Wells-Fargo office and in quire tor tne truna. Of course she did not find it, for it was already in the pos session ot 'Japt.

Lees. About half an hour before the woman called at the ex press office she rented a room in Oak land, telling the landlady that she ex pected a widowed sister to arrive that day from Salt Lake City and she wanted to nave her trunk sent to the room. After the woman left the express of fice she gave the officers a very lively chase. It was raining fearfully, but she went on plodding around block after block until finally the detectives, tiring of sprinting in rain, overtook the fleet ing beauty, arrested her and brought tier io mis city. Capt.

Lees says the woman refused to talk at all, but she does not deny any thing, not even that she is the wife of Hedpeth. She will probably be held as an accessory. Whittaker and Pinkerton came up from Los Angeles on Sunday evening with Sly in charge; They were met at Modesto by Captain Lees. Sly consented to go right on East after Lees had explained to him that it would only be a matter of two weeks before extradition papers would arrive. Consequently the party took the evening train for Sacramento and there caught the Eastern overland.

An effort will be made to induce the woman to tell what she knows, but the outlook is not promising. Capt. Lees says that was clothing in the. trunK. nut declines to go into ue tails concerning its contents.

SLY'S CRIMINAL RECORD. An ex-Convict Who Was Concerned in Several Train Ho liberies. Sr. Locis, Dec. 80.

fBy the AssocI- ated Press.J The leader of the gang who robbed the Adams Lis press messen ger at Glendale on the night of November 80, together with a woman ac complice, are under arrest In San Fran cisco, and the capture of the remainder of the gang seems only a matter of time. The leader is Adelbert D. Sly, a noted ex-Missouri convict. The latest series of exploits by Sly and his gang began with tne robbery of the Omaha street car barns last October. In the same month they robbed the Kansas City street car barns.

Then came the robbery of the Pacific Express Company on the Missouri Pacific near Omaha No vember 4, and the American Express Company near Western Union Junction. JNovemoer 12. in all these Sly was the leader, and the engine of war was almost invariably dynamite. After the Western union Junction robbery William Pinkerton found that Sly, in 1883, while in the employ of the American Express uompany at bt. Joe, defaulted with a package containing Alter a loyg search ne was apprehended in California, returned to Missouri and sentenced to seven years in the Missouri penitentiary.

On being released from the penitentiary he asso ciated himself with a gang of rough burglars, their headquarters being in h.anias City and Umaha. A qmet in vestigation began and Sly was located in St. Louis a few days previous to the Glendale robbery, it being thought that he was connected with the Western Garza's Band Dodging About the Frontier. A Report That They Have Captured a Mexican Datachment. Gen.

Stanley Thinks They Have Encountered Bourke's Forces. The Hnrder of Gen. Garcia and Desertion of His Troops Confirmed la dlcatlons That the Rebels are Verjr Numerous Bi Ttlenraph to The Timet. Nzw SO. By the) Associated Press.J The Times-Democrat's Laredo special says: "A tele gram has been received by CoL Core In Nuevo Laredo from Gen.

Garcia at Mier saying that Capt. Hardie, U.S.A., has notified him that his (Hardie's) scouts reported that Garza's men were massing near El Tlgre crossing on tho Rio Grande, on the line of Starr and Zapata counties, below Rio Grande) City. Capt. Hardie stated that he was marching or the point and asked Garcia to be on hand with Mexican troops to receive the marauders when they cross to Mexican soil, "A report was brought to this city from Zapata county to the effect thai Garza's troops had captured a of Mexican troops with arms and equipments. Thereport states that the revolutionists executed the officers and gave the men a chance to go without arms or join the revolutionary forcei and they took the latter as their choice.

The report, however, Is not credited here. "Capt. Pollok, commander at Fort Mcintosh, is of tae opinion that both side of the Rio Grande should be patrolled by American and Mexican troops. Garza and his band have little chance, to act and must necessarily disband soon." HUMORS OP A TIGHT.

Stanley was to the foregolug effect and came from the officer commanding Fort Ringgold during Bourke's absence. The murder of Gen.

The killing occurred at Mier. The nambet of the deserters is not known. Later. Gen. Stanley feels certais that an action took place today between Garza's men and the regulars.

oarza's force a large one, Laredo Dec. 30. An interview with the United States Marshal, just in from Garza's operations, shows that there is certainly a large fores with Garza, and in one of Garza's detachments which Capt. Hardie followed there were not less than 800 men. At the camp, where they had taken a single meal, were found the remains of eight beeves, which had been slaughtered; also thirty-one camp-fires.

Xh trails bore proofs of a company of sev eral hundred men. Capt. Hardie fot lowed close on the trail of these mei until they crossed the river. The country has a dense growth of chapparal, which is almost impossible for a horse to penetrate, and the conn-try is broken by deep arroyos, which compel the troops to dismount and pick their way carefully and with great difficulty. Capt.

Hardie has spies and scouts stationed in various directions and is doing everything possible nnder the circumstances, considering the impassable nature of the country. There are rumors of a battle between Garza and Mexican troops, but inquiry across the river in New Laredo failed to con. firm them. JCO SEWS AT GALVESTOS. Galveston, Dec.

By the Associated Press. The Herald's correspondent at Valparaiso telegraphs that President Montt today completed his cabinet by the selection of Juan Castll-Ion as Minister of Justice. The complexion of the cabinet is two Liberals, one Montt-Vartsto. one Radical and two Conservatives or Clericals The correspondent hears that the first act of the cabinet will be to consider the relations with the United States.

By the Asso ciated Press.J The coast-defense' vessel Monterey is at the wharf of the Union Iron Works in very much the same condition she was three weeks ago.

Yesterday a few men were at work upon her, putting bagging on the steam pipes and covering everything that needs It with non-conducting material. They worked in a superstructure protected from the storm by the upper deck. Now and again the sound of a hammer would break the stillness about the vessel, but for hours It was In gloom, and all of the heavy hatches were down so that the rain might not do injury to the work already done. The vessel Is nearly finished. All the joiner work is done.

The cabin furnishings have been ready for some time. They have been put in place, found perfectly satisfactory, and are now stored in the shops for safe-keeping. The placing of armor on the vessel would do considerable damage to the cabin work, which will not be put back until the plating is in position. To fit it again In place, however, will not take much time. While there are only a few men working on the vessel Itself, about 100 workmen are busy upon parts of it in the machine shops, upon fittings and other details of the vessel.

They are at present working to get the vessel in readiness for her dock trials which will take place before the icean trials, if the Government sees fit under present circumstances to ask for the latter. The electric light plant is one of the most important elements in the preparation for the dock trials. In a few days it will be finished. Steam has already been up And it is expected that in about two weeks the dock trials will be held. Those at ithe works apparently have reason to believe that not a hammer has been struck upon the turret armor of the Monterey In the works of Carnegie Phipps.

If any orders to push matters and to work men night and day have been issued the orders have gone there and not here. The turret armor Is a necessity. Information has also been received of the progress made at the Bethlehem works. The latter manufactory has the contract to make the barbette armor. This plating covers the machinery which in a stationary apartment moves the gun in the turret above.

The gun carriages are also protected in the barbette. At the Union Iron Works it is understood that the armor for the aft barbette is almost complete at the Bethlehem works and that it will be shipped probably on February 1 next. When the forward barbette can be completed Is a matter for conjecture. The forgings have been done and they are partly tubed, but they have yet to be machined. Bethlehem Dec.

80. An official of the Bethlehem Iron Company said this morning that they had received no notification from the'Navy Department to hasten the manufacture of armor plates for the coast-defense vessel Monterey or any other vessel, and bad no evidence from Government sources that hostilities with Chile were close at hand. KGAN'B WHITE ELEPHANT. Legation Refugees Proving a Source of Merlons Embarrassment. New Yobk, Dec.

30. By the Associated Press. A Washington dispatch states that the fact developed yesterday at the Cabinet meeting that the refugees at the American legation in Santiago are proving a great source of embarrassment to the administration. In the event of hostilities between the United States and Chile it would be impossible for this Government to afford them any further protection. In the event of war Egan would be given his passports and permitted to leave the country in safety, but not so the refugees.

It seems, too, that the refugees are proving themselves a white elephant on Egan's bands. Tbey Insist upon being entertained in the most hospitable fashion and tbey seem to feel their right to the best which the legation affords unquestioned. READY FOR SERVICE.

Another Version of the Manchuria Rev It The Stories of Massacre and Other Crimes Said to Have Been Exaggerated, By Telegraph ta The Timet, Vancouver (B. Dec. 80. By the Associated Press. The Canadian Pacific steamship Empress of India arrived this morning from Hong Kong and Yokohama.

The Shanghai correspondent of the Yokohama Daily Mail says that China has scored a grand diplomatic success. The riots in the Yang-tse Valley would have called down on her head the wrath of European powers if the critical situation In Europe did not allow her to escape. She has made promises in profusion, but has dona nothing. The recent riots are attributed to the Ko-Laoh-Hui, a secret society, but Dr Griffith John has learned Incontrovert-ably that the inflammatory placards that were the chief cause of the riot did not emanate from Hunan, but were instigated by Chon Han, whose action had the direct sanctionand approval of the provincial authorities. It is urged that European powers should quell any Hu-nanese outbreaks and thereby not only strengthen the Peking government, but inspire respect for European rights.

The Yokohama correspondent of the Vancouver News-Advertiser says: "Fresh developments have taken place In China. Affairs had scarcely settled down after the riots on the Yang-tse River when news arrived of a rising in the north, which, so far as we can discover at present, must have been a very serious affair. The affair, which has by this time become known throughout the east as the Mongolian revolt. Although it really occurred in Manchuria it began on November 0. It seems that a young Chinese officer, stationed in the city of Choo Yang, just outside of the Great Wall and bordering on Manchuria, took it into his head to attack the stronghold of a brigand chief some distance to the northward.

The bandit In question was a man of considerable influence, having a following of about 1000 men. The Choo Yang officer having taken the stronghold retired to his own station. Soon after the bandit, seizing a favorable opportunity, attacked the officer's stationand put the garrison to the sword. Having subjugated the city the brigand leader raised the standard of rebellion and giving battle to the imperialist troops, defeated them. Reinforcements were, however, sent north from Tientsin and, the latest news is to the effect that the government forces have met and dispersed the rebels, retaining the city of Choo Yang.

"Most alarming telegrams have been published, describing the murder of Christians, ravishing and massacre of nuns and other horrible crimes, but it is believed that these stories are unfounded."
