Hayward Says His Great Blunder
Was in Not Killing
Blixt.
He Intended to Do So, But Blixt
Was Too Cunning for
Him.
Such the Story Alleged to Have
Been Told DR.. Burton and
a Reporter.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 12-The Dispatch has
the following regarding a confession
from Hayward:
Harry Hayward has confessed A
few hours before he was launched into
eternity he told DIR. Frank Burton, in
the presence Of u Dispatch reporter,
how he concocted the damnable plot for
the murder Of Kitty Cling.
Carelessly and even laughingly he
went over the horrible tale, not in de-
tail, but generally, and all during his
revolving narrative the smile never left
his face. The
One Great Regret of His Life
was that he did not kill Blixt, as he
desired, and only the brute intelligence
OF the man who actually committed the
murder led to the hanging of Hayward
Had he been able to carry out his de.
signs, had not the cunning Of Blixt
thwartcd his fiendish purpose, Hayward
would have had two murders to answer
for to his Maker. But the chances are
no earthly, tribunal would have ever
called him to account.
DR.. Burton listened to the awful story
as one in dream. He always believed
Hayward guilty Of the plot, but, even
insane as he considered Hayward, Dr.
Burton could hardly believe that the
man could sit there SO quietly and
calmly relate the story Of murder that
that startled the nation.
His Story Was Fr,gmentary.
Hayward's story was fragmentary.
! He did not let the events in the plot
follow sequentially, but picked up this
part and that part and jumbled them
all together i'll a breath.
He told the story, not in direct nara
tive style, but rather let it slip from, as
he expressed it, regret at things that did
not occur, and his failure to put Blixt
out of the way as soon as the killing Of
Kitty Cling had occurred.
THAT man Blixt was an awful d-n
fool said Hayward, musingly .'He
didn't have brains enough to stock a
wienerwurst. 1t took me weeks to train
him for the event. I rehearsed him
time and time again. until i thonght
the thing couldn't miss fire. III didn,t
see how it could miss. If Blixt had
had any sense at ali neither one of rs
would be in trouble today
.'Oh, what an unfortunate thing it
was ] did not kill that wretch!''
Was the Great Mistake of His Life.

CONCENTRATING THEIR FORCES
1nsnrgent Leaders Preparing to Risk a
Pitched Battle.

Pitched Battle.
HAVANA, Dec. H. = According to
trustworthy information received here,
the insurgents have been making rapid
progress through the province of Santa
Clara since the defeat of Colonels
Eugara and Eugerrio. The forces COM
manded by Gomez, Maceo, Reloff,
Sanchez, Carrillio, Guerra. Diaz and
other insurgent leaders, have united
and are now encamped at Vajaca, about
15 miles from Placetas, an important
town on the road to Santa Clara and a
point of great strategic value in its
relation to the seaport of Caiberten.
From the fact that so many Of the in
surgent leaders have concentrated their
forces, it is believed That Gomez and
Maceo have determined to risk a
pitched battle with the Spanish troops.

SURE HER TOOTH WAS PULLED.

The Power OF Imagination - Exemplined

Dentists have q splendid opportunity

lustration told a reporter about one Of

companied by her husband, and point
ing to her swollen face asked the den-
tist to extract the offending tooth. He
placed her in the chair, and taking the
small hand glass which dentists use put
it into her mouth for the purpose of ex-
amining the molar which was to be ex-
tracted
The glass had no sooner touched the
tooth thanshe uttered q frightful scream,
and. bouncing out of the chair, rushed
out into the waiting room, crying that
her Jaw was broken. The united efforts
of her husband and the dentist were for
some time unable to persuade her that
the tooth was not extracted and that
she could not possibly have been hurt
After examining her mouth with tho
aid of glass she finally became con-
vinced that the tooth was still in its
place. Taking her seat in the chair
again, she submitted to the operation of
extracting the tooth without a murmur
and expressed her surprise that the pain
was SO slight New York World.

Tho ssBreathing Cave"

tains known as the Fork range, is located

to exist 1t is called the Breathing
Cave" and is certainly a most wonder

months q current Of air comes from il
which is SO strong that full grown
man cannot walk against 1t, and in
winter the ''inrush" of air is equally
strong At times a most unpleasant
odor is emitted from the cave. which is
supposed to be from the carcasses of
dead animals which have been sucked
in and killed by coming in contact with
the inner walls of the inanimate, breath
ing monster. During the spring months,
when the change from inhalation to ex-
halation takes place. the air is filed
with pellets Of hair, dry bones. small
claws, etc, which are supposed to come
from creatures sucked into this dry land

Many scientists have visited and re-
visited the place for the purpose of
studying its peculiarities, but still the

than we have been accustomed to
use. because Americans are not only
making better woolens than they
