ing, among other passengers, Spaniards
and Cubans from the island. The Span

those that are not killed in the fighting
would be shot afterward. They ridicule
the idea of Cuban success. When asked
forced into the volunteer ranks, they said

The Spanish estimates place the insur-
gent forces at less than 5000 men, and the
reason assigned for the shipment OF so
many soldiers from Span to Cuba was
that as there are only 5000 soldiers per-
manently located in Cuba, Spain thought
1t advisable 10 place more of the standing
army there, so if the Cubans revolted
they would be overpowered at once.

This decision is of great importance to

NEW YORK, March 31.-One of the
most mysterious murders committed in
this city since the mutilated body OF "Old
Shakespeare" was found in a low resort
near the East River front, for whose
butchery Algeria Frenchy is now serv-
ing life sentence, was discovered to-day
shortly after o'clock A. NJ.
The victim in this case was young
colored woman whose dismembere
body was found wrapped in pieces of car
peting partially hidden from view in the
rear of the building of the New York
Company on the southwest corner of
Sixth avenue and Waverly place. How
long the remains had been lying there is
not known. AS yet the police have no
clew to the person or persons who de-
posted the body there.
Immediately upon the discovery of the
crime the police officers were notified.
and half dozen of the best detectives
were detailed to fathOm the mystery.
The body was found almost at the same
time by two men. One OF them was Jo-
seph Phillips, young electrician, and
PatrOlman hismire of the Mercer-street
Station.
The bundle in which the remains were
found was bound at each end with pieces
OF cloth, and leaving the middle portion
somewhat loose. Around ber neck was
tied in a double knot long piece OF
cheese cloth. This had been tied SO
tightly that it had caused Strsngulation,
aud had forced the tongue to protrude
from the mouth. This had been tied
across the breast with a strong piece of
cord. Both members had been hacked
off with sharp ak or butchers cleaver,
hanging from the disembered skin. A

found piece of note paper on which was
clot of blood, and written in pencil these
words, SO far as they could be made out:

word brother, while the word ditto"
was written between them.
Deputy Coroner Donlln removed the
piece of cloth with which she had been
straugled to death. He found that this
had been tied in a double knot, and that
1t had been the direct cause of death. The
other mutilations, he said, had been done
after death, probably with sharp AK or
butchers cleaver. There was nowhere
to be found any evidence OF a struggle on
the part of the woman. The Deputy
Coroner was positive that the woman had
been dead more than twenty-four hours.
He also said that the woman had been a
mother. The woman wore on the third
finger of her right hand plain gold ring
and on her left breast porous plaster.

been filed by Edgar 4. Cohen, whose
liabilities aggregate $500, 900, and who de-
ciares he has no assets. Cohen is the son
OF the late A. A. Cohnen, and who, dying
multi-millionaire, left his entire estate
to his widow. The property has been
kept practically intact, although Mrs
Cohen provided well for all her children
and gave each liberal financial start.
Edgar was member of the commission

ton. COhen's statement of his liabilities
includes debts ranging from 20 cents to
hundreds of thousands of dollars, due to
creditors in the East, Europe and the
