How CarusO Was Murdered.

CONFESSION OF THE THREE ASSASSiNS.
Giovanni Azzeo Antonio MercurO and Igna-
zio Bove, the three Italians suspected OF the
murder of Fillipo Caruso at Chicago, have con-
fessed their connection with the murder, and
out of the mouth of each one enough evidence
has been secured TO hang all three. 1t seems
that strangulation was the method of murder
employed. 1t was the custom of these men to
shave each other when occasion required, and
in order to take Caruso unawareS it was pro-
posed by Mercurio to shave their victim. When
he was seated in the chair, a common wooden
affair, OF the sort usually found in kitchens,
Bove and AZzeo took him by the arms to pre-
vent his escape, and Mercurfo grasped him
round the throat and pulled his head back upon
the top of the chair, gripping his windpipe until
the wretched victim of their avarice ceased to
move. During the frantic efforts of the stran-
Cling man to escape from death, his trowsers
pocket, containing the coveted money, was cut
by one of the assassins, and the savings of his
life eXtricated. The trunk was then purchased
and the body packed therein.

THE FIGHT At PENJDEH.
Caused by the Afghans Saying They
Would Thrash the Russians as they
Had the English.


Would Thrash the Russians as They
Had the English.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.-Gen. Komaroffs
latest dispatches regarding the collision be-
tween the Russians and Afghans near Penjdeh
reterate with fuller details his earlier accounts
of the affair. He says the Afghans sent a taunt-
ing message to the Russians declaring that they
would thrash the Russians as they had
thrashed the English"
The Afghans, Gen. Komarof again insists
fired the first shots, and SO were responsible for
bringing on the engagement. Gen. Komarof
says he learned from prisoners who were cap,
tured in the battle that the Afghan leaders had
ordered the Sariks to furnish contingent Of
1000 men to the Afghan army. The time
which had been allowed the Sariks to deter
mine whether they would comply with this
order expired on the very day the battle occur
red, and an answer from them was expected by
the Afghans on that day.
The effect produced by the Russian success on
the minds of the neighboring people was
SO great that directly after the battle the Sarik
and Ersarik Turcomans offered their allegiance
to Russia A few days after the battle, on the
9TH of April, Gen. kOmaroff says he wrote to
Tab Salar, the Afghan commander at Penjdeh,
that he had no further animosity against the
AfghanS.
