ARSENIC IN THE FLOUR.
POLICE CONVINCED THERE WAS A
DELIBERATE DESIGN BACK
OF 1T,
MANY CASES THOUGHT CRITICAL.
No Fatalities Yet Reported Among
the Six Hundred People Who @
Ate the Mixture.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec Am at
tempt at wholesale poisoning, in
large measure successful, was reported
to the health department today, when
information was given of the sudden
and serious illness of about 100 fami-
lies, numbering between 500 and 600
persons, living in the northwestern
part of the city. The cause of the sick
ness was traced to bread sold at a
bakery owned by Otto Figlesthaler. at
No. 528 Sherman street, which has q
very large trade. Tonight an analysis
OF the bread showed that it contained
arsenic. The 900 persons poisoned are
living, but large number of cases are
considered serious, if not critical.
The first intimation that the health
department had of the poisoning was
the notification by DR.. f. r. Weber
that family named Herzberg, at No
8S6 Fourth street, had been taken ill.,
and that the symptoms were those Of
poisoning. Later DR.. Robert Shearer
notified Secretary knott, of the depart.
ment, of another case at No. 61S Clark
street. From o'clock this morning
until o'clock tonight the telephone
bell in the office Of the commissioner
OF health was kept ringing, and at the
close OF office hours tonight more than
100 families had been reported as suf-
fering from symptoms of acute poison
ing.
The health department officials said
that 1t was evidently a case of arsen-
lcal poisoning. The symptoms are ex-
cesslve vomiting, accompanied by pains
in the stomach and severe headache
and chills DR.. Kempster stated that
he had been notified Of the condition Of
affairs and had ordered a complete in
vestigation.
Mrs. Figlesthaler, the wife of the
baker stated today, that she thought
that some one had deliberately put poi
son into the box containing the flour
from which the bread was made 1.
has been the custom Of the baker tC
keep the -four in the cellar from which
there are two flights Of stairs that lead
| directly to the garrett 1t is claimed by
| the lady who lives above the bakery
| that she heard some one moving about
! in the garnet early i'm the night before

| Figlesthaler family she said nothing
about it until she found out the nex'
morning that none. of the members OF
| the family had been near the garnet the
! night before.
The police are convinced from the in

of Subjects Presented

BOSTON, Dec. AT the second
days session of the national council of
women, there was large attendance.
The reports made were Of a most en-
PERTAINING nature, and the greeting
from the several councils were en-
couraging and enthusiastic For the
Indianapolis council, Mrs. Elizabeth

ton to the fact that this council has

ported that the work of the Quincy

tlnct entS-philanthropic, lit
erary, social reform and educational
and the work of each was outlined.
Mrs. Augusta L. M. Hunt, Of Portland,
Me-, detailed the work done in that city
and referred to several matters in
which 1t is hoped to enlist the attention
of the legislature. Chief among these
is the suggestion that after a will has
been probated, it may be examined by
any one, on payment of small fee,
newspapers being prohibited from pub
fishing any item of a will, except such
as refer to public requests.
Rev. Anna G. Spencer spoke for the
done by the council was the formation

lature the council succeeded in raising
the age limit Of child laborfrom ten to
twelve years, and in the appointment
of both men and women as factory in

Of the married woman's property
rights" bill by congress. Now, that the
bill has been passed, and a new ad-

ton will be pressed, and it Is expected
that it will result in the placing of the
men and women employed by the gov

gers by steamer from Havana tonight
say train with 500 wounded Spanish
soldiers arrived there today 1t was
said that most of them came from the
vicinity of San Cristobal and Candelar-
ia. No definite statement could be
had as from what battlefield they
came. Rumors prevailed on their ar
rival that Weyler had sustained an
other defeat. Counter statements were
also made that the vanguard of
Maceo's army had been defeated
Moreover it was announced that Wey,
Ter is on the eve of attempting to
storm some of the hill tops where
Maceo Is entrenched, and this has
raised great expectations in Havana.
This afternoon it was current rumor
on the streets that another garrison Of
Spaniards had deserted over to Maceo
with their arms, ammunition and
stores. The place was not given. though
it is supposed to be near Palacios
Over $50 men were in the garrison.
Late in the afternoon guerilla fight
ing was reported across the bay from
Havana. Just beyond the line Of
forts small party of insurgents made
a dash into the suburbs. They sue
ceeded in killink three Spanish sold
iers, capturing one captain and firing
several shots. They lost five men
killed.
Several American correspondents at
Havana have had friendly warnings
to the effect that Weyler is contem-
plating deporting some of the more
outspoken ones because their reports
do not please him.
