Texas, Miss Beulah Carter of Riverside.
Miss Carter is the daughter of J. d. Car
ter, president of the Riverside Lumber
Company. In June Leslie dropped into
Riverside as travelling salesman for Or
derff & Co. of Dallas. Texas. He was
formerly in their employ, but forged their
name and since that time they have vainly
sought him.
After stay OF two weeks in Riverside
Leslie induced Miss Carter to elope with
him. and they were married at Newport
while Mrs. Leslie No. l was in Texas,
ignorant of the existence of Nos. and 8.
For bridal trip they took in Memphis
and some Texas towns, returning to New
port after two weeks.
BY this time Leslie's funds were getting
low and he felt that one was as much as
he could care for. 10 get rid of Mrs.
Leslie No. 3, he fixed up telegram,
ostensibly from Riverside that Mrs. Carter
was at the point of death. While her
daughter was going to her he forged a
check on Mr.. Carter for s175. Leslie has
confessed his crime.

PLUNDERED BY TURKS
Continued from First Page.

News will tomorrow publish a dispatch
from Constantinople saying that the Port
has documents, claimed to have been writ
ten by Armenians at Kharput, declaring
the education given by the American mis-
sionaries has seduced their young men
from rectitude and brought calamity upon
them. The dispatch adds that elsewhere
the officials force starving Armenians to
sign papers declaring that the liberty en-
joyed under Turkish rule is not equaled
in any land.
The Daily News will also publish dis
patch from Odessa giving an interview
with Captain Noble of the British steamer
Loeb Rannoch, from Leith November 1
for Odessa, which arrived few days ago
at Chanak, at the entrance of the Dar-
danelles, a few minutes after sundown.
Captain Noble observed that the shore on
either side of the straits was lined with
troops under canvas and that cannon were
placed at close stages along the banks.
Two blank shots, one from each shore,
were fired at the Loeb Rannoch.
The captain did not heave his vessel to,
thinking that the shots were part of some
military maneuver. Soon three shells
were fired at the steamer. The first she'll
dropped under the bow of the steamer, the
second fell astern and the third whizzed
across the bridge few feet from the cap
tain's head.
Captain Noble instantly reversed the
steamers engines. He was astonished
and thought war had been declared be-
tween England and Turkey. Hitherto the
Turkish authorities have always allowed a
time margin for vessels arriving in the
straits after suDdown. The head of the
Dardanelles is covered with torpedoes.
ROME, ITALY, Dec. IA semi-official
telegram from Constantinople says that
the American ad I'm iral who is now at
Smyrna recently asked permission to visit
the Sultan on board his flagship. The re.
quest was refused.

STARVATION IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
From Many Localities, Particularly Fishing
Villages, Come Urgent Pleas
for Food.

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. Dec. 1.-The investi-
CATION by the Government authorities to-
day in regard to the threatened famine in
the island this year was finished to-day,
and the report OF the investigating COM
mittee submitted. The report shows that
already the terrible state of affairs which
has prevailed during the two last winters
is destined this winter to be surely aug
mented.
The greater part of the investigation has
been made among the fishing villages
removed from the capital. Here the dread
famine has not waited the arrival of winter
to commence its work. as already from all
sides comes the appeal for food, that
the inhabitants are starving. At a
meeting of the citizens committee
held to-day, it was voted to
make an appeal once more to the people of
the United States and Canada for help.
The British home Government has sent a
large supply, but even when all sources
are taxed the terrible state of affairs will
be but slightly ameiiorated and this winter
will be the hardest in Newfoundland's his
tory.

Requirements to Strengthen the
Army at the West in With.
standing the Spaniard.
CAMP0s TO FORCE FIGHTING
1t Is His Intention to Bring the Struggle
to a Close at Once, if
Possible.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. IA dispatch to
a morning paper from Santiago de Cuba
states that the insurgents have given up
all idea of making d direct assault on the
garrison of that city for the present. 1t is
known that during the last few days a
number of re-enforcements have been sent
to strengthen the army OF the west, which
is withstanding the Spanish advance from
Havana.
Both General Gomez and General Maceo
are satisfied that the war is ended so far as
the eastern part of the island goes, and
that if they cared to risk their men the
capture of the city would be almost assur-
edly carried out. They have wisely, there
fore, turned their efforts to holding in
check the Spanish advance from the west,
as with this accomplished Santiago de Cuba
will fall almost Immediately. Notwith-
standing the reports of reverses, the insur-
gents have by no means lost hope. Gen.
eral Maceo states that no stress car be laid
on the battles in the west in which the in
surgents were defeated by the Spanish ad-
vance, as at no time have they acknowl-
edged their ability to withstand the heavy
Spanish guns and the active cavalry.
The remainer of the war will be fought
mainly as it has been in the past-and the
method is surely the safest for the insur-
gents-that of ambuscades and guer-
rilla warfare carried out on a slightly in
creased scale.
General Campos fully realizes that the
large force at his command, even with
strong re-enforcements, would be unable to
make any material gains against the in
surgents in this manner of fighting, and
the whole method of carrying out his cam
paign shows that he means to bring the
struggle to an issue at once, if possible
With the information from insurgent
headquarters it is very doubtful if he will
be able to further force the fighting, and
now that he is on the verge of the noun
famous district in which the insurgents
have strengthened themselves, the events
of the next few weeks will show whether
the campaign is to be successful or not.
A dispatch from Havana from Spanish
sources states that battles are being fought
every day in the vicinity of Santa Clara
and that the insurgents are now making
their last stand. 1 is learned that the
two expeditions from Key West and Hail.
fax, with endorsements and ammunition
for the patriots, have been landed safely
near Cape Maysi.

MARGARET MATHER,S MITE.
Gireu O. Fortune Not to Contest Pabst's
Suif.

Suit.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, Dec. 1.-When
Margaret Mather boarded train for New
York city yesterday it was with the inten-
ton of never returning to Milwaukee as
the wife of Colonel Gustav G. Pabst, the
favorite son of Captain Frederick Pabst,
the brewer, who is worth q score of mil
lions.
This was her determination, if story
told by prominent citizen of Milwaukee
who is close to the Pabst family is true,
and there is no reason for doubling his
credibility.
The ex actress did not leave without a
valuable consideration. She was paid
$4,000 with the understanding that she
would not contest the suit for divorce that
was instituted by Colonel Pabst about a
month ago, as a result of her fierce attack
upon him with horsewhip on October 2
last.
at that time Colonel Pabst and his wife
denied that any trouble had occurred, but
within four weeks the colonel went to the
law firm of Winkler, Flanders, Smith,
Bottum & Villas and directed them to
start divorce suit.
Then he LETT the Guy, ana lie has not
been seen here since. His whereabouts
is not known. 1t was reported he had
gone to South Dakota for the purpose of
acquiring a legal residence in that State
with view of avoiding the publicity that
would follow the trial of the case in Mil
waukee. To-day it is said he Is in Indian
Territory.
When the announcement was made that
Colonel Pabst would sue, reporters who
called at the ColonePs home were tod
that Mrs. Mather-Pabst was seriously i'll
with nervous prostration. At one time
her life was despaired of.

UMPQUA BAR WRECK,
Details of the Bandorille's
Loss Told by Mate
Nelson.
CAPTAIN WINANTS FATE
Desperate Battle With Heavy
Seas in Sight Of His
Crew.
THE VESSELS CARGO SAVED.
Destruction of the Grounded Steamer
Will Be Accomplished by the
First High Wind.
THE VESSELS CARGO SAVED.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. Local United
States Inspectors Edwards and McDer-
mott yesterday received the following re-
port from Thomas Nelson, mate of the i'll
fated Bandorille.
"We were at anchor off the life-saving
station on Umpqua Bay on the morning
of the 21st inst, and at $50 hove anchor,
crossing the bar at 9 O'Clock.
1--WE were just over the bar and in
twenty-five feet of water when several
heavy seas struck the vessel and turned
her head to the southwark. More heavy
seas followed and the steamer would not
straighten up again. We were rapidly
drifting toward the south beach. We
tried to back in toward the channel again,
but the rudder chain carried away. Cap
tain Winant and went aft to get relieving
tackle on.
"While working with the tackle and try
ing to clear the tiller, which was foul, a
tremendous sea struck the vessel on the
starboard side and she went almost over
on her port beam. Captain Winant lost
his hold and went overheard. I threw
him line, but he could not reach it.
Then I threw a ife-buoy, which he Sc
cured and put on.
"At this time the engine became dis
abled and the vessel drifted rapidly to-
ward the beach. All this time Captain
Win ant was in sight, drifting shoreward
about as fast as the Bandorille. We struck
at 9:45 o'clock and the captains body
reached the shore at the same time, but
his life had gone out in the struggle against
the waves. The life-saving crew was on
hand shortly after and the steamers crew
was rescued at o'clock in the afternoon
by means of the breeches-buoy.
''The cargo is all out and the steamer
is resting easily in the sand. There is
very little water i'll her yet, but if a storm
should come up it is likely she will break
to pieces
The Yaquina Bay News says: An ex-
animation shows that Captain Winant
met his death from the effects of a heavy
blow on the left side and breast, which
would have killed him even if he had not
been thrown into the sea.
Too much praise cannot be given to Cap
tain Bergman and his gallant crew of life
savers for their noble efforts in behalf OF
the crew of the stranded vessel. Great
credit is also due 1. L. Smith for his kind
ness and consideration of the crew.
Captain Winant's body was brought to
this city in charge of the 1. o. 0. f. and
shipped to Alameda, Cal, for interment

End of a Suit of Long Standing against
a. Stockton Collector.


STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. IA case of
long standing was dismissed in Justice
Parker's court yesterday. 1t was suit
filed in June, 1892, when Charles Light
was Justice of Stockton Township. The
action was brought by H. C. Shaw against
Matt Jones for the misappropriation of
$116.
Jones was a collector in this city at the
time the suit was filed. Colonel Shaw had
given him accounts to the extent of S116
to collect. Jones, it was alleged. had COL
lected the money, or some of it. 1t was
about the time of the first trial of NJ. D.
Howell for couuterfeiting.
Jones was fearful of being subpenaed as
witness and left the city. The first seen
of him since in this city was yesterday,
when he showed up with Sheriff Cunning
ham to answer to the charge IN the
Justice sycourt. The examination was set
for o'clock.
Colonel Shaw was the only witness He
stated that all matters between him and
Jones had been settled amica bly, and
therefore the defendant was discharged.

Slain for Money and Their Bodies Left
in u Shaft.

private letter from Yoro says that two
Americans, Lewis Young and Frederick
Simmons, and an Englishman, Thomas
Clarke, who have been working in the
mines of that district, some weeks ago
discovered what they claimed was a most
valuable gold and silver mine near Talgua
This they worked on their own account
and reported that they had amassed con-
siderable wealth. None of the three being
seen for days, comment was caused and
search resulted in finding all three bodies
at the bottom OF shaft in a terribly mu-
tilated condition with many stabs. Moth
ing valuable was left in their cabin. The
authorities made the usual pretense of an
investigation, and are now trying to hush
the matter up.

TYSON STILL IN HIDING.
Enduring Needless Hardships In the
Picinity of B0nta.

STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. Little Moses
Tyson. who has been in the County Jail
like a common criminal since the fatal
affair at Banta, in which his father killed
Deputy Sheriff Buzzell, was taken before
Justice Parker to-day and released. The
elder Tyson is still III hiding, and the
search by local officers has been practically
abandoned, they relying upon outside
officers to apprehend the fugitive.
AS the affair stands now, it is almost
certain that Tyson would be released on
his preliminary examination, and the old
man is, consequently, enduring unneces-
sary hardships.
