Lieutenant Carmona was in bath ing in the Tames river, near Tampico, where he was stationed, when his com panions warned him that -a monstrous vlesperate efforts to escape, but was seiz- w at ion in its possession which it is said incriminates a number of prosperous men jis having had a share of , the stealings and upon whichCarter will be prosecu ted on criminal -charges whenha ha served out. his oresent five years term in 'the Leavenworth, penitentiary It was stated at thje department this morning that the agents of the Depart ment, of .Tusti-e had -traced every penny of, the sum said to have been stolen by Carter and hsvd found it in the hands of business men who had shielded the ex-eantain duriug the ten years cover ing the extensive : f ramU. 5 A sworn statement has -lcen obtained from Car tel to the effect thar he onlv had S772, (AM), and that if $2,3(K,000 had. been ta ken the balance must lie in the hands of outsiders who 'were interested in the. op erations. . This has been ,. investigated withilie result that all of the funds have tieii tniced "and the posset sor,s will be made to tell where and how they canieJ to get the money. As soon as Attoruy General Knox a? stimes his placer at the head jof, the De partment of Justice attachments will be sworn out against all of those known to have received part of the money." At least four men will be placed under at rest as knowing where and how the cash was obtained and for haying protected Carter in his stealings. Another' result M ill lie the re-arrest of Carter, as soon as he leaves the penitentiary. The names of the men to be arrested are not niade public,-as Carters attorneys are said to be on the watch to defeat the plan and the department has no intention to fore warn them An important piece of evidence Secured by the department is the denial by R,' W. Wescott of Brooklyn, that he ever gave Carter any sum of -money, Carter told that the sums of easwheh he had in bank and invested in real estate were were presentedto him T)y Mr. Wescott, wno is nis taiuer-ui-iaw. , - , Among those who are under, indict ment for complicity in the Carter case nre B. DAGreene and John F. Gaynor of Kew York,4 and while it was not admit ted today, it is believed that the ;Depart-' ment of Justice, will take the cases ouf of the hands of th Georgia State author ities and proceed against the men on charges made by the government, so they may be tried without delay. The names of the agents who worked, up the cases are withhld, but they will be made public when the attachment pro ceedings begin. ;' f A Department of Justice official, in Of II ITflPI atiiA - un oiiiiiii VISITS WASHINGTON Busjness Transacted for Con stituents at Departments Washington, ; "April 0.

Following - the capture of Aguinaldo' comes the .announcement that Trias, the, native general who some time ago yield-' Pd ..to the "Americans, will shortly leave Manila for an important trip to Lip' and Batangas. It .is understood th.it he will be the personal representative of ' Japan Preparing for' Hostiii ' V ties with Russia Agmnaldo. to treat for the surrender of the iusurgeut generals, ".Ma var, Tiuo and Lucban. . . Trias will,-bear credentials signet! by Agtiinaldo and Avill Ive failly authorized to order the generals, in the name of the-captive chief, to lay down their arms and swear allegiance to the Iuited States. It is announced that Generals Alejan drino and' Cailles,- with General Lacuna, have been - outlawed for violating the ' rules i-of civilized warfare,- and that the' iX'lnaming recalcitrant rebel chiefs in the field ire . not regarded as having enough influence to place oltstacles in the way of plans for the restoration of peace.' General- Trias will extend his mission to : the southern islands later. The au- thorities here are elated over the pros pects of ending the insurrection, and they regard the mission f Trias as important fttud' wholly promising. It is said that - assurances have been received that there is no donbtof his being well received by the- iusurgeut leaders and the I-Hlipnion jp general, a nd that throughouthe arinii -pelago there is a growing disposition' to end military -oierations and restore the . peace and the trade of the islands. ' The ,ilate c:i which Trias will leave Manila has not yet been announced, but it is understood that it will be very soon. There are reports that he will carry to the Filipino generals a manifesto call ing upon them to lay down their arms. RIVEHERSuSlAIL NOT AFRAID TO FIGHT Pekin'Apri' G. It is feared here that th Chinese 1 problem will not be settled without , further serious outbreaks., in volving losses of life among , the foreign ers' in the empire. From time ' to time rumors of a more or less alarming char acter have been received from --different- pTOndtiicer fine as ever seen localities, and it -is known ..that there have been minor outbreaks in some of the provinces. . ; The feeling of concern has been aug mented by the reeeipt of a letter from Mgr. Yannertselaer, who is stationed at Siwantze on the Mongolian border line. In his letter to Archbishop Favier he states that there has been a revival of Boxerism at Kweihuan Chang, northern Shensi. He fails to make any statement concerning the nature of 'the outbreak or whether there has been a loss of life or . property. Monsigneur annerssaioer expresses the opinion, however, that re bellion is imminent in Mongolia ami he f ejirs that there will be a serious out break soon unless measures are taken to prevent it. . The ooimon is general uere.tuat tne delay in settling the indemnity and pun ishment questions is having a bad effect. ft 'is believed that tlie Chinese m out lying districts have been led to believe, that there is serious disagreement among he - powers over the problems involved and that: when, the quarrel becomes! acute they may profit by it if they take immediate action. Further tidings from Kweihuan Chang are . awaited " here with anxiety on the part of . many of the foreigners. . 'Berlin, April 6 A 'dispatch to the xkalanzeiger from 1 Pekin states that he Chinese jilenipotentiaries, in a reply to the ministers, dated yesterday, agree to carry out the demands of the powers for the jmnishnient of additional guilty officials, in accordance with the- supple mentary list furnished by the ministers.
