sensational as the one just received

information. however, as it told that the
Americans who were seized had been
released Immediately afterwards. The
secretary added that the department
is in constant communication with
Samoa through its agents, one of whom
is stationed at Auckland. and the latest
information received is to the effect that
affairs are quiet in the country and
that no serious trouble has occurred
since the 5th instant.

itory amendment was repealed by q vote
Of B. 449 more than the three fifths Of the

ASSASSlNATED.

a Texas Physician Assassinated While
Waiting Dying Woman.
FLoREsvILLE. Tex, June 19.-Dr. r. +.
Fouts. a highly esteemed citizen, was
called yesterday morning on a profess
sional visit to a sick lady some miles from
town. He found her condition SO serious
that he started back to town to get neces-
sary remedies, and soon after his de-
parture the patient grew worse. and a
messenger was sent after the doctor to
hurry his return. This Office was UNDER
taken by young man named Popple; he
overlook the physician near the negro
colony when they were fred upon from
the roadway by three or four men. DR..
Fouts was shot through the breast
and Popple received a bullet in
his right arm. The latter, see-
ing his companion fall from his
horse, clapped spurs to his animals
sible. leaving DIR. Fouts helpless and
dying. The shooting occurred about three
O'Clock yesterday morning in front Of the
residence of a negro named Whiffor, and
in the hearing and sight of a colored
preacher, Rev. r Holmes, who heard the
wounded man groaning, but stated he was
afraid to go to his assistance and the doc
tor bled to death. The deceased man
leaves a wife and two children behind
him. who were at the time visiting in a
neighboring county. Indignation in
Floresville runs high against the colored
people residing in the colony, and it is be-
lieved the assassination was the result of
mistaken identity, the murderers intend
ing to shoot a colored man who is accus.
toned to ride horse similar to the one
DR.. Fouts rode. Tho inquest is being held
secret, and over forty witnesses have
been summoned to testify.

O'Sullivan Ready to Tell What He Knows
About the CrOnin Murder-Burke Identi-
fed.
CHICAGO, June 21.-Patrick O'Sullivan
the iceman indicted for completely in the
Cronin tragedy, has been removed to the
So called boys department of the jail-the
recognized haven for ''squealers"
O'Sullivan is the person whose business
card and whose curious contract with the
doctor for medical services were used to
lure Cronin to death.
The story is given out that the iceman
has offered to make c.ean breast of every
thing he knows. His motive for being
willing now to confess is alleged to be
fright over the arrest of Burke at Winni-
peg and the disclosure that Cooney, the
Fox" is being actively pursued
BURKE IDENTIFIED.

ceived the following dispatch yesterday

euRkE INDICTED.

The Chicago Grand Jury Indl0e8 the Ar
rested Party ut Winnipeg.
CHICAGO. June 20.-The grand jury in
the Cronin case at noon yesterday re-
turned an Indictment against Martin
Burke on two counts.
Burke, alias Martin Delaney, otherwise
called Frank Williams, is indicted first for
murder and secondly for conspiracy with
Coughlin, O'Sullivan and Woodruff for
the purpose OF committing murder.
Application will at once be made to
Governor Fifer by an officer who is now In
Springfield for papers for the extraditiOn
Of Burke. Those papers, properly attested
mont at Washington and the Secretary Of
State will make the formal request to the
Canadian Government for the surrendex
Of Burke.
It was only with reluctance that the
grand jury returned an Indictment against
Burke, and his partial Identification by
photograph being the only evidence
against him it is safe to say that the
request of Chief Hubbard and States
Attorney Longenecker would have
been ignored and an Indictment denied
until the Chicago people had pro-
ceeded to Winnip eg and clearly identified
tho prisoner as one of the Williams
Brothers. The testimony OF Michael
Gavin, OF the Chicago sewer department.,
who had known Burke, was very con-
elusive, however, and it was upon his evil
dence that the Indictment was returned.
Gavin testified that he had known
Burke for a long time. that he had fire.
quently heard the latter boast Of his
friendship with p. O,Sullivan and others
Of the suspected parties and that on one
occasion Burke had expressed his convic-
ton that Cronin was an enemy il not q
traitor to the Irish cause.

WAR MuTTERlNos.


European Powers Again DIsturbed-Ru4
si2's Increased AFmaments.
LONDON, June 2L-Peace or war; This
Is the que stion asking itself now, and the
profoundest judgment of the wissst states-
men in Europe is unable to furnish an an
swer. Those who speak for the Governments
most Immediately involved in the. wariike
rumors are ready enough to declare that
there will be no war. These are the as
surances that come from Berlin, from
Vienna and from ST. Petersburg. But 1t
Is noteworthy that while the words thai
issue from the lips of those who hold the
destinies Of Europe in their hands are as
peaceful as the sucking dove their acts
SAVIOR much more OF blood and iron.
The Powers most directly affected by
war rumors In the air are Russia and
Austria, and however sincere may be the
assurances Of each that her intentions are
peaceful, there is no question whatever
about the great extent Of the war prepara-
lions at this moment being made by both.
Such a despotism as Russia is able to q
great extent to do its work in the dark,
and little in the way of information
for the outside world can escape the
argus-eyed Russian censors.
Notwithstanding this. however, enough
information passes the Russian dead-line
from time to time to establish the fact
without question that imm ense war prep
or6ClOnS are gong on lu IsusSto anu On q
scale that has not been equaled since tho
war with Turkey. Austria has greatly
augmented the force OF men engaged in
terrifying the line of the Darina river, ON
the Servian frontier. That the character
Of these works is extremely formidable is
not denied at Vienna, and while Austria
insists tn as they are intended only for de-
Tense, Russia looks on suspiciously and
notes the facility which these works will
furnish for an incursion into her territory
when the time for action arrives.
Servia, governed as she Is for the time
by . weak executive. and hampered by an
uncertainty as to the future of her present
infant monarch, is in no position to make
formidable war preparations but Monte
negro, aided with financial support from
Russia, is already armed to the teeth, and
her army is on q war footing. Russia is
constructing armored ships on the Black
sea and pu shing them forward to compile
tion in hot haste, while on the Pacific she
is increasing her feet, fortifying her har-
bors anew and generally Gearing her decks
for action.
If the outcome of all this extraordinary
preparation is to be sweet and gentle
peace, then it will become useless hereafter
to pay any heed to the most significant
facts which may portend war.

PRINTER DROWNED.

Fatal Ending to Boating and Bathing
Trip.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 90 Leigh b.
Perring, the son of the postmaster of
Kendall, Kan, was drowned in the
Missouri river last night while bathing.
He and his roommate e. A. Farris, left
their boarding house, 80 Penn
street, shortly after supper for the
purpose of taking boat ride
After rowing for probably half
hour Farris proposed that they go in a
swimming. Perring agreed and they
rowed to the Clay County side, just oppo-
site the mouth of the Kaw. After being
in the water several minutes Farris no.
ticed his friend putting for the shore and,
judging by his labored action that some
ting was wrong, started to follosg
him. A moment later Perring called fer
the boat and Farris, reaching it, tried to
get to him. Before he could do so, how
ever, Perring sank Farris was within {.
foot of his friend when he sank, but was
unable to grasp him Both men were
printers and worked for the Hudson
Kimberly Company. Perring came here
three weeks ago. A search for the body
will be made to-day.

An AGED Murderess.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 2O.-December
II Richard o. Allen, an aged farmer liv-
ing five miles southwest of Washington,
Ind, was found tied to tree near his
house with his throat cut from ear to ear.
The death was thought to be case of sui
eide and no inquiry was made. A few
days ago, while laboring under religious
excitement, Mrs. Charlotte Allen, the
seventy-year-old widow of the dead man,
confessed to two colored servants that she
committed the crime. She said that she
and her husband had trouble as to who
was the rightful owner of the farm and in
order to settle the dispute she gave her
husband morphine in his tea Allen fell
asleep in the garden and she procured a
table knife and a rope and going to the
place where her husband was lying, tied
the rope around his body and. making sew
eral slashes at his throat, half severed the
head from the neck. She then dragged
the body to q tree and tied it there.
