Stamps Taken.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, April 8.
Harry st. John, son of ex-Gov. st.
John, of Kansas, and a member of
the last Oklahoma legislature, shot
and killed his wife this afternoon at
his home, two miles west of here.
By some means he had become pos
sessed of a letter addressed to her
and demanded to know the writer.
This afternoon about 8 o'clock he
hired buggy and drove out to his
place, and securing a gum, con-
fronted his wife with the letter,
threatening to kill her if she did not
disclose the author. She refused,
and as he claims, the gun was dis
charged accidentally, shooting her
through the breast. She died with
out uttering a word. Mrs. ST. John
was a Miss May Felbon. Her ia
Their, Willard Felbon, was formerly
county judge of Saguache county,
Colorado, and later warden of the
Colorado state penitentiary. She
leaves two small children. She was
about twenty-eight years old and
her husband about thirty-five, a
lawyer by profession, who has lived
in Oklahoma since 1885, st. John is
under arrest but refuses to talk.
Coroner Black has impanelled a jury
but a verdict will not be rendered
till tomorrow. The dead woman is
his second wife. His first wife, who
is now living in Illinois, secured a
divorce in 1887, alleging drunken
ness

1t Is Charged He Was on the Al
Iianca when She Was Attacked.
HAVANA, April 3.-Much specula-
ton is INDUCED in here as to the move
ments of Antonio Maceo, the mulatto
insurgent leader, who was recently re-
ported as having sailed from Central
American port for the purpose of TAX
ing the field in Cuba against the gov
eminent. 1t is the general belief that
he took passage on board an Ameri-
can steamer. either at Port Limon,
Costa Rica, or Colon, his intention be-
ing to land at Cape Maysi. The Span
ish wariship IConde de Venadito is
cruising in the waters of Eastern
Cuba, and her presence probably
caused Maceo to change his plans and
to proceed to Fortune island, one of
the Bahama group, about 100 miles north
of Cape Maysi. 1t is surmised that he
landed at Fortune island, whence he
wrote to his colleagues, notifying them
of his failure to land in Cuba. His
movements subsequent to landing on
Fortune island can only be guessed at.
There are not lacking those among
the government supporters who charge
that Maceo was on board the Ameri-
can steamer Alliance when she was
fired at by the Condo de Venadito off
the east end of Cuba, and that he
would have been landed at Cape Maysi
If the war ship had not been there to
prevent it.

ing the arrest of the supposed muir
derer, the negro, William Caesar. In
some respects the story of the crime
is one of the most remarkable that has
ever been told in this city, and the ac-
count of the transfer of the corpse in
its rude bundle from Caesars house
on West Twenty-seventh street, by
means of a Sixth avenue surface car,
in the early part of the evening, to
the place where it was found, seems
hardly possible.
Caesar, the woman's protector, was a
porter in the store of Youmans, the
halter, under the Hoffman house. IT
was ascertained that on Friday night
the couple had a violent quarrel, and
that the woman threw a glass at the
man, hitting him on the head. He
then threw her down on the floor. after
having grasped her by the throat with
both hands. There, lying on the floor,
it is said, he had her throat in such as
grasp that he thought he had killed
her, but when he released his hold, he
discovered that she was still breathing.
Then, according to the police, he Sc
cured the piece of cheese-cloth, which
was found tied around her neck OF
Sunday morning. This. it is alleged
he put around her throat and twisted
it, and then tied it into double knot
and strangled her. He slept as soundly,
it is said, as if the corpse of the woman
was not almost within his very sight.
The next morning he went to work as
usual, locking the door behind him. At
night he cut the legs from the body,
and, making a bundle of the remains,
took it on a street car to the point
where it was discovered

LOOTED BY CRACKSMEN.
springfield, Illinois, Postomce
Robbed.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 3.-The
postoffice here was robbed of about
100000 worth Of stamps and silyerware
today-s The robbery took place about
noon, while Postmaster Ridgeley was
at dinner. The robbery was not dis
covered until o'clock, and those i'm
pllcated have so far covered up their
tracks. Access was gained to the
vault by the use of duplicate keys.
The vault is located in the postmast-
er's private office, and the combination
is never turned except at night.
In order to secure entrance to the
vault, two keys had to be used, one to
open the spring lock on the door of
the office and the other to the inner
door of the vault. Both of these doors
were locked when Mr. Ridgeley re-
turned to the office after lunch. Be-
= sides the stamps, Mr.. Ridgeley had
stored in the vault his daughters we'd
ding presents, valued at $1,000. The
stamps and silverware would make an
enormous package, and it is hard to
conceive of a method to take them
from the building in broad daylight
without observation. 1t was o'clock
when Assistant Postmaster McMurphy
had occasion to go to the vault for
stamps. He found the interior of the
vault in wild disorder and everything
of value removed. This was the first
intimation that the place had been
looted. Mr.. Ridgeley, until a few
days ago, had about $4,000 in cash in
the vault, and the theory is advanced
that the thieves had some intimation
of this and that they were after it,
The work is, no doubt, that Of experts,
and they were compelled to work for
fully a week in order to secure the
keys, as the only opportunity they
could avail themselves of was at noon
when the postmaster and most of the
clerks were away.

Ruling In Private HfImer,s Case
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Assistant
Secretary Reynolds, of the interior de-
partment, has overruled the decision of
the last administration as to the line
of duty of soldiers, holding that a SOL
d1er being engaged in private business
and not in the performance of those
things which the law required of him
as a military duty, cannot be consid-
cred in the line of duty The last adj
ministration held very broadly in the
matter of the line of duty, and injury
received by a soldier while in the army
was generally considered pensionable.
Inc case decided by Assistant Secre-
tary Reynolds is that Of Henry A. Hill
mer, Eighth Indiana volunteers. The
claim was first rejected March 2, 1885.
and just at the close of President
Cleveland's former administration the
action was affirmed
The department holding: s'In this
case under consideration it is clearly
apparent that the statement in the GER
tificate that the injury complained of
was received by claimant while in line
of his duty was a mistaken conclusion
on the part of the certifying surgeon.
Riding a horse for personal pleasure
against the protest of his captain, who
warned him of his danger in attempt
ing to ride fractions horse, with
whose habits claimant was already
well acquainted, cannot be regarded
as in any manner connected with claim
ants military duty" A few months

La Union Constitutionale, a Spanish
official organ, of March 80 says: "As
everybody will see, we are receiving
from Madrid reports regarding the
trouble here in Cuba. 1t is strange such
news should not be given here before it
ever saw the ocean twice. 1t would
greatly facilitate the publication of
official news, which cannot be excluded
from the knowledge of the government.
Every occurrence of the instruction is
kept away fromsus, and when the news
at last arrives, it occasions more alarm
on account of our total ignorance of
affairs. We do not mean to reflect on
the government on account of this re-
serve; on the contrary, we think 1t
right where it answers the prudent
patriotic ideas, and for this reason we
have concurred in it, even submitting
of our own accord our work to the CEN
sorship of the authorities in the shape
of the first letter from our correSpon-
dent in the Eastern department But
this letter was mutilated by the censor
in such a manner that it's publication
was useless. The presence of our re-
porter in that region, who was to in
form us of affairs, is without avail.
Hence we must recall him without his
having answered the purpose for which
he was sent there. However, we will
continue faithfully in indorsing the or
ders of the authorities, by whom we
shall always be found without any
conditions in assisting them to estab-
liSh peace and order"
