number of the friends of the deceased.
The services were conducted by Rev. Mr..
Ayres, the pastor of the First Baptist
church, Rev. DR.. Small, the former
pastor, and Rev. DR.. Fem Of the High
street Congregational church. All of the
clergymen spoke in the highest terms of
the high character, and womanly
Characterization of Mrs. Chase. The music
was beautifully rendered By mixed

Benjamin f. Harris, John Dryden,
Albert L. Burbank and Frederick Bru-
mel. The interment was at Eyergresn.

accused of conducting a reasonable cor

rumors he summoned the young man to
the palace and questioned him. Weyler
was apparently satisfied of the young
mans guilt, and told him that If he did not
commit suicide in twenty-four hours he
would be ccurt-martialed and shot.
The lieutenant left the palace, went to
his room, and in six hours was a corpse,
having shot himself through the heart.
Ihe affair was hushed up. and the Spanish
official report said the young man died of
