THE CASE INVESTIGATED.
Charges Against Attorney Push Loo

Charges Against Attorney PuEh Look
ed Into by the Commissioners.
The case of Prosecuting Attorney Pugh
for nolle pressing the charges against Sa-
Icon eKeper Hall, in South Washington,
has been Investigated by the Commission
ers. 1t seems. after The Stars account of
the matter was presented to the Commits
sioners, the latter promptly called the at
tention of the excise board to the matter,
and Inspector Woodward submitted long
report, setting forth exactly the POSITION
of the District in the matter.
This report was then referred to the
prosecuting attorney for the District, and
the latter sent his report to the attorney
for the District, who was also called upon
to investigs te the case. The attorney for
the District in his report to the Commits
sioners, 1t is understood, states that there
is consid srable variance between the facts
as stated by Mr.. Pugh and the report Of
License Inspector Woodward of the excise
board. He adds that Hall will be prose-
cuted when Mr.. Pugh. returns from his va
cation.

case. the firm Of King & Co., doing business

today. The affairs of the firm were placed
in the hands of John F. Paret, but no
statement of resources or liabilities was
issued. Mr.. Paret said this afternoon that
King & Co. would settle with all creditors,
but it is not likely that business will he
resumed. 1t was rumored that another
firm of stockholders was embarrassed by
King & Co.'S failure, on account of being
creditors; but it was claimed by the iirin in
question that the failure does not impair
their financial standing, and that there Is
no danger OF failure for them.
1t is rumored on the street this afternoon
that If the continued ''bulr' market con-
tinues there will be an increase of CON-
missions among some of the stockholders
to the extent of one-eighth of / Per cent,
making the commission one-fourth of per
cent.
The assignees of Silsby & Co. were busy

The Report Sent by q Cuban Insurx.
ent Omcer.
Atrocities by Spaniards as revolving as
those committed by the japanese at Port
Arthur have just been reported by letter
to the Cuban revolutionary party in New
York from Juan Maspons Franco, chief
of staff, under General Maximo Gomez,
the commander-in-chief of the insurgent
army. Commander Garrido himself Col
onel Franco states, led the uniformed riot
ers. The Spaniards were wild for the spill
Ing of blood. Every human creature who
came in their path was ruthlessly slain.
Within five minutes the streets Of Baire
were deserted by the panic-stricken ma
tives, but the Spaniards followed them into
their houses and killed them in their own
rooms. age. sex and condition were
wholly disregarded by these liveried butch
ers," says Colonel Franco. "Old and
young women. children, even infants were
slaughtered. Shocking indignities were of
fered to the unfortunate victims before
and after death. The Spanish soldiers
stamped on the bodies of those whom they
lad slain, ar d ground their hoc.s into the
faces Of many who were still living.
Senorita Dolores Madeira, a beautiful
girl of eighteen, betrothed to an insurgent
lieutenant, was seized on the street, cruelty
beaten, repeatedly stabbed with bayonets
brutally insulted and finally hanged.

1t is Asserted That the Man In
Custody is Someone Else.
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. GA letter re-
ceived by L. w. Pack, editor of the Kansas
Independent, which is published in this city,
states positively that the man in custody
and representing himself to be George w.
Fraker the insurance swindler. is not
Fraker, but Schnell, a hermit who has
lived for years in Minnesota and Michigan.
Pack says the letter was written by a
well-known citizen Of Duluth, whose name
he declines to give at this time. Schnelrs
companion in the wood near Tower, 1t is
alleged was not arrested because his evil
dence would prove conclusively that the
prisoner is not Fraker.
j. P. Davis, president of the Kansas
Mutual Insurance Company. said last night
that there was not a shadow of doubt
as to the identity Of the man arrested at
Tower. He said 1t was George w. Fraker,
and that 1t would be but short time be-
