NEW YORK. Sept. 16.-Ex- Commodore
James D. Smith. chairman OF the cup
committee, issued the following statement
to the press this afternoon:
Il have nothing to say in answer to
Lord Dunraven's letter of Sept. Is. My
committee is out of town. Lord Dun
raven has given his letter to the public
and our answer will come later.
"To strip this yachting question of all
side issues and special. but unimportant.

ditions old and new, that should not
have prevented him from racing Valkyrie
to the finish OF the match. the glaring
fact stands out that ne did not do his
duty to the Royal Yacht squadron, who
made the challenge for him. to the Eng
Iish people, nor to his supporters or to
himself. He prevented Defender from
showing her power and speed IN the sec
ond and third races. thus giving the syn
dictate which built her no opportunity of
displaying her superiority over the chal-
longing vessel.
Lord Dunraven had the personal right
to decline to re-saT the protested race Of
Sept 10, in a. written or unwritten offer
to him by MT. 1selin and approved by the
cup committee. which he did decline. He
had also the same personal right TO start

MINNIE DEAN HANGED.
END OF A LIFE FULL OF SIN AND
CRIME.
CIemency Refused, Though Asked
on the Ground That the Murder
ess Was Woman-Guilty Faith
ers in Court.

VANCOUVER, b c., Sept. 10
Minnie Dean, who was condemned to
death for the murder of infants intrus-
ted to her care, has been executed in
Invercargill, Auckland, New Zealand.
She protested her innocence up to the
last. Clemency was asked on account
of the murderess being a woman, but
the proof against her was so over
whelming that no mercy was shown
On the. scaffold she was hysterical
and had to be almost carried to the
drop. Just before the black cap shut
out the world from view she became
more resigned, but piteously exclaimed:
"Oh, Godl Let me not suffer- The
drop fell and death was instantaneous
The woman prayed necessarily to-
ward the last, but stoutly maintained
that she had no murder on her soul
and had no doubt that she would go to
heaven.
Minnie Deans crimes were the SEN
sation of last year in New Zealand. In
her prosperity she was patroniZed by
well-to-do scoundrels. who paid her
handsomely to become responsible for
their children. A mothers love, how
ever, induced an erring woman to seek
her child, which had been delivered 10
the Woman's care.
Minnie Dean had reported it dead
from natural causes. but the mothers
suspicious were aroused and detectives
were employed, when the remains Of a
number of children were found of ages
ranging from a few months to several
years, buried in every conceivable
spot about the place. The woman was
arrested and after sensational trial
was condemned to death on the evil
dence of the guilty fathers, who were
compelled to appear in court to assist
the crown.
Minnie's defense was that all the
children died from natural causes.
