HUENEME.
A series Of Runaways with Possibly
81 =. Serious Results.

,HUENEME. Sept. 2b.-A series Of run
aways occurred here yesterday with dis
lastrous ana peculiar results. At this
tia4e ofjths year, dozens Of four. six and
eight horse teams come into town daily
with beans and barley to be unloaded at
the warehouses. Yesterday at noon the
whistle Of the bean cleaner blew as
usual and a six-horse team became
frightened and started on a run. Around
one Of the 400-foot warehouses they
took their course. frightening another
team. Then they started on wild run
for the gate. One team passed. through
the gate and up the street. The other
was less fortunate, the front wagon
striking against q post, and both It and
the trail wagon were piled in q heap
against the high board fence. In the
meantime the other team dashed I'D the
street. starting still third team. A Sc
rie4 OF smash-ups followed in quick sue
ceseion. The leaders of one team ran
into the end Of the trail wagon Of an
other outfit and one horse had a shoul-
defsalmost torn Off by the force Of the
shock. He was Immediately shot to put
him out Of his sufHerings.
Aman. driving along in q cart was
struck but AnOtemuch hurt. Another
wagon was broken and two of the
wheels went running On up the street for
nifty or sixty yards. The street was lit
tered with debris.
Ateamster named Brown became 30
wrought up over the accident that It Is
feared he has lost his mind. or is, per-
haI1s. himself lost. When parties offered
to help him gather up his broken har-
ness, ETC.. he told them that It would be
Of no use as he would not want them
aGaip. ana he soon after disappeared.
HIS peculiar actions caused some COM
iients and when 1t was learned that he
ID subject to fits Of temporary aberra ton
q search was Immediately instituted.
Thus far the search has been in vain.
Parties claim they have tracked him to
the Beach west of town, where he pulled
off his shoes and went on barefooted;
but they finally lost the trail, owing to
the rising tide having obliterated 1t.

SHE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
MARGARET FOSTER OF WALLING-
FORD HANGS HERSELF.

Arrested for Drunkenness, IA Woman Tries
to Die but She is Found by Matron Ire
land and Cut Down Before Life is Entire
ly Extinct-Taken to the Hospital-May
Not Recover.
There was an attempt at suicide in
the central police station lookup last
evening about 6:15 O'clock and but for
the timely arrival of Matron Ireland
the would-be suicide would have con-
summated the deed. The matron had
just returned from walk when Ser
geant Cook, who was at the desk, told
her that one female prisoner had been
brought in. Mrs. Ireland took the key
of the lookup and went to look after
the comfort of the unfortunate woman.
The sight that caught the matron's eyes
as she entered that portion of the lock-
up in which the female prisoners are
confined startled her She cried out,
"Cut her down! Cut her down." Ser
geant Cook rushed to the lookup and
found that the woman had hanged her
self. She had placed a handkerchief
through the bars of the cell door, and
then around her neck Then the wo-
man had thrown herself to the floor,
She was apparently lifeless, and those
who discovered her were sure that life
was extinct. Among those who were
in the police station at the time the wo-
man was discovered was Arthur L.,
Sloan, a medical student at Yale uni
versity. He followed the officers into
the lookup and assisted them to put the
unfortunate suicide on bench in the
corridor. Mr.. Sloan applied what REM
edies he had at hand.
Dr. Bellosa and Medical Examiner
White were notified. They found on
arriving at the police station that there
were some signs of life, but little hope
of regaining consciousness. DR.. White
ordered the woman taken to the hospi-
tai.
The efforts of the physicians at that
institution had met with but little sue
cess up to late hour this morning. The
woman had been in the lookup about
one hour and half before she attempt
ed to take her life having been sent

account of herself during the day. She
also said that she had a daughter liv-
ing in Fair Haven. The woman did not
disclose the name of her daughter.
There had been no inquiry at the police
station uo to early this morning for
any woman answering the description
of Mrs Foster.

Into Two Groups.

Berlin, April 26.-Referring to the pol
icy of the dreibund in regard to the sue
cession to the papacy the object being
to secure the election of pope to sue
ceed Leo XIII, who will be favorable
to the interests of the dreibund and less
inclined to democracy as we'll as less
friendly to France than the present
pontiff it is stated that advices from
high Catholic sources divide the prob
able candidates for the tiara into two
groups. The first of these, following the
present policy of Leo XIII, includes
Svampa, Ferrai and Santi, and the sec
ond with policy supposed to be less
politically biased and therefore more
favorable to the dreibund is headed by
Cardinal Galimberto. This group in
cludes Cardinals Vincenzo, Serafino,
Vannutelli and the brothers Capacela-
tro. The two ablest members of the
scored college, Cardinals Paraccohi
and Rampolla, are not considered, for
various reasons, as being eligible. The
question of the papal succession is GER
tainly stirring the secret depths of dip
lomatic life.

have not the ammunition or artillery to
operate as a fully equipped army.
They, therefore, resort to guerrilla war
fare, and Spain cannot make progress
against them. Gomez and Maceo are
men of military genius, The rank and
file of the insurgents worship their
leaders and obey orders implicitly, On
the other side there are jealousies, po-
litical intrigues and political ambi-
tions among all grades of Spanish Of
fcers, Twelve brigadier generals have
been sent back to Spain for incompe-
tency since Weylers arrival,
The Spanish troops themselves have
no heart in the fight. Their condition
is pitiable. In a few weeks the rainy
season will set in and yellow fever will
cut wider sWarths in their ranks than
the bullets of the enemy have vet done.
The entire interior is either in ac-
tual possession of the insurgents or is
in sympathy with them. In every
small towns the Cubans are doing what
they can to aid the men in the field.
In the large cities are many men of
standing who are thoroughly in sympa-
thy with the insurgent cause, but re-

leading families, and in some cases,
heads of families, have joined the insur-
gents. The fear of confiscation of prop
erty keeps others back. A gentleman
who owns a sugar plantation worth ST.
100000, recently said he had become con-
WINGED that Cuba must be free or an
nexed to the United States or all will
be ruined.
Englishmen, Frenchmen, Americans
and Cubans and even some Spaniards
who own property take the same view
The office holding Spaniards and the
merchants who profit by Spain's con-
tinuance in power still insist that Spain
must win. The rabid Spaniards who
forced the recall of General Martinez
Campos have recently attacked Cen
eral Weyler accusing him of being as
lenient as Campos. General Weyler
has endeavored to satisfy bloodthirsty
Spaniards and at the same time avoid
bringing down the wrath of the United
States on his head.
Mr.. Clark then spoke of instances
where the Spaniards shot prisoners of
war as bandits, killed unarmed peo-
pie, including women and children on
estates, and raided Cuban hospitals
and killed wounded insurgents. When
ever a massacre of peaceable citizens
occurred, he said, the Spaniards claim
ed to have won brilliant victory.

AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.
Expression of Opinion on the Conditions
in South Africa.

IN SGuth AFRICA.
Berlin, April 26-The officially in
spired press, speaking freely on the
subject are giving out an accurate ex-
preston of official and public opinion
as to the relations of Great Britain
in South Africa, which the papers de-
clare are not confined to encroachments
upon the Transvaal, but extend to the
whole Afrikander interests to which
Germany, these journals assert, is now
inclined to tender her moral support.
The North German Gazette argues that
the Cape states ought to obtain as
complete autonomy as Australia and
the remaining members of the empire
and with as full measure of inde-
pendence. Nothing short of this, the
Gazette adds, will effectively prevent
civil war.
The Vossiche Zeitung blames Mr..
Chamberlain, the British consul, for
want of tact in dealing with President
Kruger, for insulting the Boer admin
istration and for acting throughout as
though it were an absolute fact that
South Africa is going to pieces. 'It is
an extremely serious NATTER the
paper continues, "to find that the words
race war; are current throughout the
Cape. If conflict takes place between
England and the Transvaal the Brit
ish possessions in South Africa will
be at stake
The Altdeutschblatter boldly contends
that the Germans and the Beers ought
to hold together and force back Eng
lish invasion and forever make South
Africa a great field for German immi-
grafton, where Germans could preserve
their nationality and give solid sup
port to German doctrines, theories and
interests everywhere.
The Altdeutchblatter is less diplo-
matte in it's utterances than is the
North German Gazette, but the paper
better expresses the popular sentiment.
Apropos of the general German feel
ing in regard to England the cognate
question will the emperor go to Cowes
in the autumn as he had proposed to
do?" is being variously discussed with
the result that the preponderance Of
opinion is that he will not visit Eng
land If the present tendency of the
English policy continues and that no
inducement that can be offered by fam
lily connections is likely to pursuade
him to go. The inspired Magdeburg
Gazette says:
"The kaiser will not visit England
without fully considering the political
situation and the rapidity with which
changes are being made therein make
it hardly possible for him to decide
what he will do in the matter several
months ahead"
