BENT ON VENGEANCE.
Spain Will Make the Riffs Suffer for
Gen. MarRallO's Death.


MADRID, Oct H.-The statement issued
yesterday by the war Office. to the effect
that only twelve men were killed and six
teen wounded, including seven officers. in
Sundays engagement with the Riffs around
Melilla, is believed here to not contain the
full truth.
1t has had no effect whatever in allaying
the popular ferment and the demand for
vengeance against the Riffs shows not the
slightest sign of abatement. The belief is
almost universal that the Spanish loss in
the fight was severe.
The cable to Melilla has become useless.
and until 1t Is repaired mail communication
will have to be depended upon.
1t Is reported that the Riffs in great force
were attempting yesterday to throw up
fntrenchments one-third of mile distant
from Fort Camellos. They worked under
heavy fire from the fort. The Spanish
troops do not relax their vigilance by day
or night, fearing that the enemy may at
tempt to surprise them and take the forts by
assault.
Gen. Margallo. the Spanish commander
who was killed in Sundays fight, was buried
yesterday with full military honors Gen.
Macfas, now in command of the troops,
directed the ceremonies.
Cen Macias considers that the present
force of $500 men at Mellila is sufficient
for defensive purposes, but that at least
$1,000 will be required to allow Of offensive
operations by the Spaniards.
The Riffs are keeping UP a desultory fire
upon the forts today.

TIRED OF LIFE.
An Old osldier Decides That II 10 Not
Worth the Living,

Sick from the use of intoxicsnts and tired
Of life. William Robinson, an old soldier.
committed suicide in the lake in Soldiers
Home grounds this morning and his body
is now at the ur dertakine establishment of
j. W. Lee. The suicide had become despon.
dent. the result of numerous adversities
and had sought the flowing bowl as the
means Of drowning his sorrow. The only
way Of avoiding dark future so he
thought, was to take his life. He strolled
over the hills from the direction Of the
main building this morning and was going
toward the Whitney avenue gate There
was nothing in his appearance to indicate
that he was even considering SO sad a STEP
Beneath the huge trees about the hill over
looking the lake he walked to the path and
then he followed the pretty body of water
until he reached q rather romantic looking
spot For few moments he stood and
looked upon the smooth surface Of the cold
water.
Then he quietly removed his coat and
hat. there was a splash and in a short
time his soul was sent to the world beyond
The splash was heard from a distance and
one of the first to respond to an appeal for
help was Patrick Ford, the keeper Of the
Whitney avenue gate. When he reached
the edge Of the lake he was satisfied beyond
all doubt that the man was dead The
1t required the use of a fishing line to get
1t out OF the water.
Coroner Woodward was notified of the
affair and he gave permission for the re-
moval Of the body to the morgue
Robinson was the fourth old soldier who
has committed suicide IN the lake and
whose body was recovered by Patrick
Ford.
And they were all wilful Suicides" he
said to a Star reporter.
The Suicide.
Robinson was about fifty-five years old
He had been an inmate of the home for
some time. and then he left the institution
occupying house not far from the grounds
The house in which he resided belonged to
him, and in addition to what money he earn
ed by working. he drew a pension Of SIT a
month. He was getting along 80 we'll that
he sent to Ireland for his brother and sis
ter, and they came over to live with him.
They died. the house was sold. and on Sum-
day last the unfortunate soldier was read
mitted to the home.
The gatekeeper said he had been drink
ing, and he supposed he had spent the
money he got for his house.
1.-The soldiers" he said, "can get all the
whisky they want in the speak easies' out
side the gate"
The funeral arrangements Of the dead man
have not yet been made.

Ford & Graham's Trial Commenced
In the Police Court Today.
This morning in the Police Court Prose-
cutting Attorney Mullowney called the case
Of Ford & Graham, charged with having
sold adulterated milk. and explained to
Judge Miller that the information filed
against the defendants contained two
counts. the first alleging that they SUBJ
tracted from the quality Of the article Of
food such part Of 1t as to injuriously az
feet the nature and quality Of it without
making known such alteration to the pur-
chaser, and the second count alleging that
they sold the milk when 1t was not In the
nature, substance and quality demanded
by the purchaser.
Mr.. H. E. Davis, on behalf of the defend
ants, moved to quash the Information be-
cause 1t alleged no offense; that the alleged
violation Of the law was not sufficiently
set out, and that the law under which the
information was found was unconstitutional
and void.
A long discussion between court and coun-
sci followed, Mr.. Davis contending that
the information was defective, in that 1t
failed to set out how the milk was adul-
terated, and Mr.. Mullowney insisting that
as the Information contained the language
Of the act 1t was sufficient II being only
necessary to state that the defendants did

18th instant. Messrs. Amber and Jones ap-
peared for the prisoners. The girl was
servant in the house 1880 18th street north

latter had been forbidden the house, and he
then proposed to her to get even by taking
the things and giving them to him. He was
to come to get them at o'clock in the
morning, but he was at that time at the
station. On being closer questioned Letta
said he threatened to get mad with her If
she did not do as he said.
On cross-examination Letta said she left
the front door open at BANDS request, so
that Mrs. Greer would think that some one
else had got the things. He told her on
Saturday night to take the things, and she
took them the next night, and she was
told by him that he would come at 8 o clock
next morning. She denied that any one
promised that she would be released all
that was told her was to tell the truth.

mitted taking the things, and went to the

handkerchief, and said she had done 1t at
BANDS suggestion. Officer Terry testified
to going to the house and corroborated Of
icer Greer.
In the sergeants room, after she made
a statement. Bland said that he would do
anything rather than she should suffer,
but denied her story.
The defendant moved to take the case
from the jury, claiming that the girls
testimony was unsupported, but the court
overruled the motion.
The defendant, Bland. testified that he
was barber, working at 7th and o streets.
He had known I.etta Beckwith for two
years. On October Is he saw her and
not then nor at any time suggest to her to
take the jewelry nor any like 1t. Mrs.
Greer had spoken to him about Letta hav-
ing company at her house. but it was not
he heard Letta's statement and he denied
any connection with ii.
On cross-examination witness said he was
married man with one child, but he did
not live with his wife. Letta had seen
two young men once or twice and she said
that they were her cousins.
Mrs. Greer was recalled by the govern
ment and testified that she had cautioned
Letta about her company.
