AMERICUS. Ge^ Sept. 11.—The epi demic of burglaries Just started here came to a sudden termination yester day in the capture of Gene Fooler, the king bee, a bad negro for whom the officers had long been looking.

Wright, of At lanta, charged with making and circu lating counterfeit money, are still Jail here, and to make It doubly certain that Coffee will be here when his case is called, his bond has been raised from $6,000 to $10,000. This Increase was made upon the suggestion of Dls trict Attorney B- A. Angler, who Is the opinion that Coffee Is the ring leader of the gang. Before the Increase was ordered Cot fee's bond was the largest, being $p, 000, while the bonds of the others were fixed at $8,000 each. A few days ago Coffee arranged to furnish a $5,000 bond, but before It was presented be passed upon Judge Newman Issued an order instructing the United States marshal to double the size of the bond. This action of the court was a com plete surprise to Coffee, and quite disappointment to him, as he had tele graphed his wife that he had secured hts bond and would come home at once to remain until the trial of the case was called. From what can be learned the objection to the first bond required was not so much on account of quality, but to its quantity, the court not wishing to take any chance of Cof fee getting away. It Is stated that the court has idea of increasing the bonds of others, believing that the amount fixed in the other four cases will guaran tee that the defendants will be court when their cases are called trial.

CHE FOO, Hept. 11, $2:20 p. m.— According to the latest new* received from Port Arthur the Ruaalana on September 4 shelled the Japanese cov ered trenches In front of Pallrhualng and destroyed them. Everything waa quiet along the entire line during the night of September 4th, hut in the morning It wag seen that the Japanese outposts had crept closer to the Kua- slnn lines. One Incident of the reernt bombnrfl Ing of Port Arthur waa the striking of the roof of n hospital by a Japanese shell. The Japanese fire waa drawn to the hospital by the placing near it by the Rusalans of heucon signals. One small Russian scouting party succeeded In creeping close to lhe Jap anese Intrenchment* on Corner moun tain, but the barking of doga gave them away. Japanese reserves poured Into the Intrenchment* and opened fire on the Russians, but a shell from a Russian battery landed In the trench and killed nrfany of the Japanese sol diers. and the remainder retired. This enabled the Russians to occupy the trench until dawn. The trench evident ly waa unimportant, for the Japanese made no attempt to retake It and the i Russian scouts withdrew shortly after daybreak. On September 6th. a small body of Japanese troop* captured some outpost trenches on High Hill, which Is not far from Corner mountain, but | upon the Approach of a Russian de tachment they evacuated this position without fighting. The Port Arthur Novlker, in a recent Issue, declares that a Jafauiese colonel has been executed because he failed to occupy a certain position on Corner Hill within a specified time. In Its Issue of September 2 the same (wiper says that a Japanese torpedo boot struck a mine fourteen miles southeast of th- ioarbor and sank, and that ou the da/ Hu* Is small.

The general opinion Is that the vessels will go by way of Suez, but some rumors say .that the Capo route will be taken. The derision of the admiralty to send out the fleet In the face of the existing situation in tho far East Is evidence of the temper of the government to pros ecute the war to a finish. It is understood that there wan con siderable divergence of expert opinion on the question of delaying 'he Mailing of the fleet until thl* spring, but the emperor turned the scale In ordering Immediate departure. Mobilization In southern Rum.iIs was announc-d today and in addition practically nil the re- servo officers of the navy have been called out.
