SMOKING AND DRUNKENNESS.

II never object to a patient smoking,

of tobacco. Not one man in a hundred

for drunkenness. excessive smoking is

Rio DE JANEIRo, March 1S.-[Copy-
righted by the Associated Press.l Judg-
ing from the course OF events here, it is
thought by impartial observers that the
Portuguese government does not intend
to honor the request made upon 1t for
the surrender of Admiral da CANA. Da
CANA took refuge on the Portuguese cor
vette Mindello when the insurrection
collapsed. President Peixoto demanded
that the admiral. and the officers with
him, be delivered into his hands. The
Portuguese minister declined to order
the commander OF the Mindello to surTen-
der the fugitives, and Peixoto appealed.
IL is said, to the Portuguese government,
to instruct its minister to order the sur
render of the insurgent officers.
Whether reply has been received to
the request or not cannot be definitely
stated, but this afternoon the Min
dello and the Albuquerque, another
Portuguese wRrship, having ON board
Admiral da CANA and 20 Of his officers,
put to sea. 1t has been thought in
some quarters that if the vessels at
tempted to leave the bay with
the fugitives on board troub le
would enaue. There is not, however,
the slightest opposition to their de-
parture, and, as a matter of fact, trouble
from this source was never probable.
The destination OF the war ships is not
known. 1t is conjactured they will go
south to Montevideo and land the in
surgent officers there. II they are
landed at Montevideo, they can easily,
if they are so disposed, join the insur-
gents in Sac Paulo and Rio Grande do
Sui, who are still in armed opposition to
the government.
The fact that Admiral da CANA and
his officers have succeeded in getting
out of the bay is matter of great re.
joicing among their friends here. There
is no doubt in the minds of anybody
that had the admiral been surrendered
to the government his trial by drum.
head court martial would have quickly
followed. There could have been only
one result of trial of this kind and
that would have been sentence OF death.
Yellow fever continues epidemic. The
death average is 20 a day.
BUENos AYREs, March 18.-Advices
received here from Rio are to the effect
that Admiral da CANA and his officers
will be conveyed to this port by the
Portuguese corvette Mindello. Presi-
dent Peixoto has ordered the Brazilian
minister at Buenos Ayres to demand
that the government of the Argentine
Republic consider Admiral da Cana
and his officers pirates and not allow
them to dieembark.

A HORRRRLE CRIME.


London Startled by a Tragedy of the
G0rti.s Order.
LONDON, March l8.--This city hae for
a comparatively king time been exempt
from murder, but today sensation was
caused by the die covery of crime that
in its details somewhat resembles the
notorious Gouffs murder that occurred
some time ago in Paris. The scene of
this latest horror MAS in Grafton street,
in the So Ho distri ct, which is infested
with foreigners of the lowest class. 1t
was in the immediate vicinity in which
the murder was committed that the po-
lice recently rRided the Anarchist club.
An Austrian woman named Marie
Hermann, who is W ell known TO the po-
lice as a night PROV ler, recently rented
a small room in a house on Grafton
street. On Thursdai7 night last she, in
company with an elderly man, was seen
to enter the room. Subsequently loud
ouarreling was heard in the room by the
other tenants in the ouse, but ss wordy
ware were of frequent occurrence, no at
tention WAS paid to than.
A woman named Hutchins, who
lodged with the Hermann woman, on
Friday found blood stains in sink and
spoke to the Hermann woman about
them. The latter passed the matter off
lightly, but on Saturday che changed
her lodgings, taking better apartments
in Marylebone street. She took with
her heavy trunk, which she asked
should be carefully handled. In the
meantime the sunpicions of the Hutch
ins woman were aroused, owing to the
blood stains found in the sink. In
addition it became noised about the
house that the man who had gone to
the woman's room had not been se en- to
leave it. The Hutchins woman followed
the Hermann woman when she moved,
and after learning her number, informed
the police that she suspected foul play
had been done.
Officers went to the house on .Maryle-
bone street, where the Hermann woman
had taken up her residence and
search was made of the apartznents of
her house. Her trunk was in toe room.
The police forced it open and found in
it the body of the missing man. His
head had been battered, evidently with
some blunt instrument. The body pre-
sented frightful appearance and the
clothing in which it was abtired was
drenched with blood. The Hermann
woman was taken into custody on a
charge of wilful murder.
The body has been recogniz sd as that
of well-to.do job kester naIned Stew
ems. He was 76 years old. 1t is be-
lieved that the Hermann woman had an
accomplice, as Stevens was a muscular
man. 1t may be, however, that he was
killed while asleep. The pris pner is 45
years old. She is ugly, almost to re-
pulsiVeuegs.
