New York, Jan, 28—At no time since
the beginning of hostilities has there
been snoh exoltement st the headquar-
ters of the Onban revolutionists In thle

the steamship J. W. Hawkins, which
had been fitted oat st great trouble
and expense as a flllbnsterer, had been
wreoked off the eastern end of Long
Island Sunday night and abandoned
by the revolutionists and orew Mon-
day morning.
Tbe news oeme as a thunder bolt
among the leading spirits in the re
volntlonary oamp here, for tbe even-
ing papers In late editions published a
report to the effeot that the steamer
Hawkins had been fitted oat at 1385h
street and Bast river, In this olty, with
arms and smmunltlon, and this, If
proved, was likely to get the leaders
Into trouble with tbe government.
The story, was to the effect that the
revolutionary party recently purchased
the steamer in Baltimore. She had
been engaged in the tithing trade. She
was commanded by Captain Hall and
her mate was 0. H. Crowell.
Jose C. Hernandez, one of the flit
bnsterers, who arrived in the olty, Is
oredited with having called at the
revolutionary headquarters and hav
Ing made a fall report of the aooldent
and olronmstanoes attending It, to
Revolutionary Minister Palma. The
latter le said to have given him money
to assist members of the party now In
this olty and Boston.

Several fishermen and others who have
seen the vessels on tbe Long Island
ooast not far from the olty, report

work of fitting tbe vessels has been In
progress some time and it is stated
that the vessels reaohed Cuba in safe-
ty. They pass oat of the soand at
different times by Mountain point and
New London. Government people
were watching the-New York end of the
island, not expsotlng the flllbasterers
would leave by this route. The last
vessel sailed about a month ago. It Is
understood that the arms and ammuni-
tion with whloh the vessels were laden
oame from Conneotlout factories.

plaoes are entirely Inadequate aud in-
sufficient, He said our cities are open
to attaok by any country having a large
navy, and It would take years to create
the necessary armament.
He estimated the entire oost of ooast
defenses for adequate proteotlon of
the oountry at about 180,000,000 for
fortifioatlons and gnns. This would
not Inolnde the oost of ammunition

Walsenbi rg, Col, Jan. 28—Sheriff
Ed Farr reoeived a telegram yesterday

train going eonth. The telegram was
signed by W. B. Sayres, Pinkerton de-
teotlve. The shtrlff was on hand when
the train arrived and et the request of
the deteotlve arrested a passenger
who gave his name as Sam .Tones and
said be was on his way to Fort Worth,
Texas. He was searched and $4,GOO
oaeh found sewed In his olothes.
The man’s name le Krout and he ie
Springs, who was suspeoted of being
Implicated In the Wells, Fargo robbery
at that plaoe some months ago. Tha
elder lvrout arrived lu Colorado
Springs January 21st from Oerro Gor-
do, 111., and has been constantly
shadowed. Tuesday morning when he
boarded the train at Oolorado Springe,
a deteotlve got on to keep him com-
pany. Krout was taken back today.
Colorado Springs, Jan. 28— Since
the robbery detectives hare been con-
stantly working on the case and the
arrests today are tbe results of the evi-
dence said to have been oolleoted.
After the evening train on the Santa
Fe pulled out on the night of Novem
her 11,1895, two express packages con-
signed from Denver banks were mis-
sing. One contained $20,000 and the
other $15,000. George Krout said two
men had overpowered him and taken
the paokeges, overlooking one that
contained an additional $15,000.
The elder Krout Is a plain farmer
who has been living In Illinois. Slnoe
his arrival In Oolorado a week ago he
frequently displayed large sums of
money, and this Is one of the reasons
that led to his arrest.
Soon after the robbery George Krout
left his position with the Santa Fe and
it Is not known whether he was dis-
charged or not. He had been a trust-
ed employe of the company for nearly
ten years and bad borne a first-rate
reputation. He was unmarried and
under 30.
Both men are sullen and say noth-
irg beyond a mere denial of the
oharge.
