A NEEDT.- June 11-I. aa m.)-At this
tun tha chances of capturing tha bold
outlaws Tracy and Merrill seem very
slim. The posse comprises, two or threa
hundred men, sheriffs, constables, militia
and cltiaena." led, by Sheriff Durbln of
Marlon county and Sheriff Coat of Clack
amas county.- - .-. . ...
The militia from Oregon City arrived
late last night at this place and, acting
on the advice o( Bherlff Cooke, proceeded
to MoUala, end there deployed for tha
night They took" up pott of duty, alj
along; the MoUala woods, watching every
trail and road. " The fugitives were last
seen at Groves" Tarra house, three miles
from Needy, and they were heading to
ward the Umber baok Of MoUala. i ';
There, was reason to inspect that the
men, an reaching this pause woods, might
spend some time In sleep, aa they were
almost exhausted from their travels with
out opportunity, to rest ,
An effort: Will be made today to pene
trate the woods In an endeavor to run
them out and most : of the posse are
surrounding the! timber. .
" There are some, however, who hold'ahe
opinion that the convicts, knowing, that
they wera closelypreased, would not, dare
stop until they dropped from fatigue, and
should this theory prove correct, -the ntm
have passed beyond MoUala corners and
got' Into the thickly wooded Clackamas
foothills. ; L " ' "' "
Nearly every possible outlet has been
carefully guarded since 4 o'clock yester
day afternoon, ana yet no trace of the
men has been obtained since they left
fl roves' housed There were many rumors,
and while the most likely were followed
HP by the officers, none1 vof them proved
of any value as clues.

Carson, with, the bloodhounds, went back

WASHINGTON, June 11-The President
this afteVnoon sent a special message te

the circulation of reciprocity literature.
HIS URGENT APPEAL.
After quotlrfg extracts from his first
message urging reciprocity, the President
says:. ,r ... .
"Yesterday I. received by cable from the
American Minister to Cuba a most earnest
appeal from!; President Palma or legis

Cuba Is financially .turned."
He - goesjont. -sahat tha '.United

arrangement .to apply to all articles that
Cuba, grows or .produces,.,; In his judgn
ment no- American Interest would be

proposed action, . He declared It was to
our advantage as a nation that the grow

by Amrelcan producers. In closing he
said: ' "
"We are a wealthy.' powerful nation,
Cuba a' young' republlo, still weak, who
owes to the United States, her birth,

I ask that we help her as she Struggles
along .the painful, difficult road of self
