Kills q London Actress, shoots Her Es-
oort and Kills Himself
LONDON, Sep. 22.-Much excitement has
been caused in music hall circles by the
shooting shortly after midnight OF Miss
Daisy Montague, a wsll-known actress at
the Empire theatre, and the gentleman
who was escorting her to her home In
Regent Square, Gray's Inn Road.
The police investigation into the shoot
ing has revealed the fact that the murder
er. who, after fatally shooting Miss Mon
tague and her escort, committed suicide
by shooting himself, was named Percy.
He was an electrician. The shooting was
prompted by jealously.
Percy had been engaged to marry Miss
Montague, but short time ago the latter
broke of the engagement, having, 1t ap-
pears, formed friedship for the man
whom Percy shot
Percy brooded over the disappointment
and attributed Miss Montague's action in
breaking the engagement to the fact that
the man wke had supplanted him in her
affections had more money than he had,
his rival being q wealthy tradesman named
Samuel Garcia.
Wednesday night, after the Empire
theatre closed, Percy, vino was watching
Miss Montague, saw her meet Garcia and
start for home with him. Percy followed
them, and when quiet street was reached
he FASTENED his steps and came up close be-
hind them. Without uttering word he
drew revolver and fired several shots at
them, all Of which took effect.
A constable heard the shots and ran in
the direction whence the sound came.
When he arrived he found Miss Montague
and Garcia lying on the sidewalk with blood
flowing from their wounds. while beside
them lay Percy, dead, he having shot him.

Feared, However, That the Rebel Ad-
miral VIII Again lombard Rio.
LONDON, Sep. 22.-Private dispatches
received here to-day from ioJaneiro state
that the situation there is unchanged.
Steps have been taken to treat with Ad-
miral Mello the commander of the rebel
squadron, who yesterday sent an ultima
tum to the authorities demanding the sur
render of the city under penalty of bonn
bardment.
The general opinion is that negotiations
with Admiral Mello, should he enter into
them, would be fruitless Of result, it being
believed that he is determined upon the un-
conditional surrender Of the capital.
The excitement in the city continues.
1t is hourly expected that Admiral
Mello will order the bombardment he has
threatened, and with his ships com
manding the city it is known that the
dsmage they will do will be immense.
The rebel vessels are in position to pour
furious fire into the city, and the wealth
ier residents have already fed the place.
Those who are forced by circumstances to
remain dread every moment to hear the
boom OF q gun that in their opinion Will
presage the destruction of the city.
