SAN BERNARDINO'S
MURDER MYSTERY
Mrs. Rodriguez ConfeSses
to the Killing of a
Mexican.
Declares That She Drained the
Man to Protect Her
Honor.
HER STORY is NOT CREDITED.
Officials Believe That the Woman
Seeks to Shield the Real
Assassin.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct. g.
Mrs. VIRGINIA Rodriguez killed Mexican
named Manuel Monjarro this morning.
The woman gave the alarm herself and
the police were quickly on the premises.
They found Moniarro's body lying in a
pool of blood with his skull crushed.
The woman admitted that she had done
the killing, but declared it was in defense
of her honor. She claimed that after she
had retired the man came to the back
door of her house and demanded that it be
opened, or he would break it down.
Finally she opened the door and was con-
fronted by Moniarro with razor in his
hand. She pushed him over, seized an ak
and crushed his skull.
Tie story of the woman is not believed
in certain quarters and the officials are in
vestigating. 1t is intimated that another
man is mixed up in the affair and that the
woman's story was conceived to shield the
real murderer. The Coroner is also taking
hand in the endeavor to arrive at the
facts and this afternoon that officer re-
fused to proceed with the inquest claim
ing that he had received information
which If found correct would place an en-
tirely different aspect on the mysterious
affair

SAN JOSE CHINESE shot,.
All Wah Fired Upon by a Fellow
Countryman With Whom
He Gambled.
Claims He Was He by Three Men
While the Fourth Used
Revolver.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 6-Ah Wah was
shot through the hip by another China
man in gam mbling-house in Sixth street,
Chinatown, about IL o'clock this forenoon.
While All Wah and four others were
gam bling a row ensued over some money
owed one of the men by Wah, and the
latter says three of the men held him
while An Gong shot him. Wah then ran
out OF the house and fell in the street,
while his assailants escaped through a
rear door. He gave the names of the
other three men in the place at the time
as Ng Yueng, Louie and Mahk Jay Ming.
The authorities at once began a search
and arrested Chinaman found hiding in
Chinese bunkhouse. He denied having
had anything to do with the shooting, but
on his person was found a revolver with
one cham Der empty, and the bullet ex-
tracted from All Wah fitted the weapon.
Hong Quong, alias All Gong, was subse-
quently arrested by Detective Haleys and
positively identified by All Wah as the
man who shot him. When arrested he
was found hidden in a bunk over the
ambling-house where the shooting oc-
Cured. Wah says that All Sang, the first
man arrested, is one of the men who hello
him while Quong shot HIM.

Re- Endorsements Save Regu ars
From Apparent Utter
Annihilat;o ON.
HEAVY LOSSES ON EACH SIDE.
AS Usual, However, Weyler's Forces
Claim to Have Routed the
Patriots.

HAVANA, CUBA, Oct. 6.-Lieutenant-
Colonel Granada reports that shortly after
his column left Pinar del Rio city yester-
day he found at Guiana and Cantabria a
Spanish column surrounded by 5000 rebels
who had been sent by Maceo to attack the
Spaniards. Granada attacked the enemy,
who fired twelve cannon shots at close
range. A promiscuous retreat to Canta-
bria saved Granado's column as well as
the Spanish troops, which had been sur
rounded. The Spanish forces were united
at Cantabria, and in the meantime the
rebels had taken positions at Iona
Blanca. The united Spanish forces made
an attack upon the rebels, who were dis
lodged after five hours fight.
The rebels lost eighty killed and many
wounded. The Spaniards had twelve
killed and ninety-two wounded, including
four officers.
Yesterday fierce engagement occurred
at Toja del Negro between a force of 700
Spanish troops under General Bernalez
and the force of Maceo. The rebels occu-
pied good positions. The battle began at
2 O'Clock in the morning The enemy
made a stubborn defense, but were finally
dislodged. losing 100 killed. 1t is said that
when they retired they carried away 200
wounded.
The Spanish losses were Lieutenant
Colonel Romero ana General Bernalez' s
adjutant, killed Lieutenant-Colonel Chas-
ella and eight officers wounded. eighteen
privates killed and sixty-fve wounded.

HOLOCAUST At SUMMIT
Entire Family Burned to Death
in the Little Oregon
Village.
Charred Corpses of Mrs. Savage and
Her Three Children Found
in Ashes.

ALBANY, Or, Oct. 6.-News was re-
ceived here to-day OF a shocking tragedy
that took place Sunday evening near the
town of Summit in Benton County. A
whole family was burned to death, and
none of the nelghbors knew of the disaster
until the next morning.
On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Tom Savage,
living near Summit went to call on her
neigh bors, the Thrashers, and left their
house to return to her own home, not far
away, early in the evening. little later
a neighbor passing her house saw her in
the.yard cutting kindling wood, appar-
emily preparing for the evening meal. Still
later, about o'clock, a neighbor passing
the house noticed that everything
about 1T was quiet, and that the lights
were out.
On the follow ing morning Bert James,
irving along the road, discovered that the
house had been burned. He went over to
view the ruins, and found that there were
several backened bodies in the ashes.
An investigation was begun and the
body of Mrs. Savage was found in the
ruins beneath where her bed had stood.
Near by was the charred corpse of young
mains of the two Savage boys, burned to
crisp. They had apparently been
smothered, as there were no signs of a
struggle An ak lay on the floor in the
middle OF the room.
The cause of the fire is unknown, and
the affair is regarded by the neigh bors as
mysterious. The discovery of the ak on
the floor has caused suspicion that the
fire may have been preceded by foul play.

RUNS FOES At VALLEJO
Good Templars' Grand Lodge of
California in Annual
Session.
Absence of Ministers From the Order
Deplored-New Lodges
Instituted.

VALLEJO, CAL, Oct. 6.-The Grand
Lodge of California, Independent Order of
Good Templars, convened in thirty
seventh annual session in this city to-day,
Rev. J. w. Webb of Fresno, grand worthy
chief templar. presiding.
The Grand Lodge degree was conferred
on thirteen past officers A letter was re-
ceived from Past Grand Chief Templar
Hoag, announcing his inability to attend
the opening session owing to the death of
his wife. Resolutions of coincidence were
passed and ordered transmitted to him.
The report of the grand chief templar
was submitted at the oieloon session.
He regretted greatly that a gain in mem-
bership could not be reported. Though
the officers had striven to build up the
order, other religious temperance societies
had drawn largely from the Good Temp
lars. Comparatively few preachers worked
in the ranks, though all were for temper
ance. They prayed for it. some worked
for it, but they did not join the lodges.
He recommended rousing educational
meetings and personal attention TO juve-
nile work. Tue grand chief templar also
recommended that beneficiary feature
be attached to the order; that the number
of lady managers ard trustees of the
Orphans Home be considerably reduced
in the interest OF harmony and efficiency,
and that the elective members of such
boards be carefully chosen, with special
view to their experience and fitness rather
than their distribution over the State or
their personal popularity.
The Rescue, the official paper, is poorly
patronized and recommendation is made
that the columns of some weekly temper
ance paper be utilized. Women are well
coined into the order and the Prohibition,
PopuIist, National and Republican parties
are complimented for advocating woman
suffrage. The grand chief templar urges
all men to vote for the party that has tine
best temperance plank in its platform.
The grand secretary's report shows a
membership of 1926. Number of lodges
40. Eighteen new lodges were instituted
within year and il is hoped the down.
ward course has been checked. During
the year there has been loss of 1161 mem
bers and gain of 293. making a net loss
of s6S. The loss so far this ear is-198.
DR.. Oronhyatekha, past grand chief tenn
plar of the world, visited the Grand Lodge
this afternoon and made an interesting
address.
During the day resolution was intro
duced by Judge Thompson declaring that
in the opinion of this Grand Lodge the
time had come to consider the aivisability
of forming q corporation under which to
conduct the business of the Good Tenn
plars' Home for Orphans, and resolving
that for that purpose committee of seven
be appointed to consider the same and re-
port on Wednesday at the opening of the
afternoon session. The purport of the
resolution is that in the future no debt can
be saddled on the home. An effort Is to
be made to counteract the impression that
the orphans home is exclusively for or
phans of Good Templars, when, as is the
fact, it is open to all orphans.

STAGE ROBBERY
At CR.MEA HILL
Mail From Chinese Camp
Captured by a Lone
Outlaw.
Finds but a Single Money Order
TO Repay Him for His
Risk.
PASSENGERS NOT MoLEsTED.
Wells.Fargo's Treasure Box Is Taken,
but It Contained Nothing of
Va ue.

STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 6.-The stage
that runs between Chinese Camp and
knights Ferry was stopped an an early
hour tnis morning by lone highwayman.
The stage had five passengers-four men
and woman. AS it neared Crimea Hill,
midway between Chinese Camp and
Cloudman, the driver heard the COM
mand shalt" from the side of the road.
Having previously looked down the bar
rels of shotgun he did not hesitate, but
pulled up Immediately.
The coach was going up grade at the
time and the robber stepped from behind
a tree as it came up to him. 1t was dark
and all the driver could see was that the
highwayman held glistening revolver in
one hand. The robber ordered the ex-
press and mail matter thrown out, and
this was done with alacrity. Then the
highwayman ordered the stage-driver to
start the horses, and he did so without
further ceremony.
The passengers in the stage were much
frightened, but the highwayman did not
attempt to molest them, being content
with what he thought he would get out OF
the mail and express packages.
As soon as it became light the Postmaster
dL OlOuQ QIONo Otlb W IuC oCCHc VI tAC
hold-up and found that the mail pouch
had been rifed The letters were scat
tered over the ground about the empty
pouch, and registered letter containing
$65 was missing. This seems to be all
that the highwayman got for his pains,
as later investigation showed that he
got nothing of value from the Wells,
Fargo & Co. box.
1t has been the custom, since the hold
ups of the past year, to invariably send a
shotgun messenger with every stage that
contained anything of value, and, as
there was no coin to be sent from Chinese
Camp to Knights Ferry, no messenger
was sent. There is little doubt but that this
is the same man who stopped the Chinese
Camp stage on two former occasions.
In each instance ne got very little plum
der. The detectives in the employ OF
Wells, Fargo & Co. were confident after
the last holdup that they knew the
identity of the outlaw, but they have evil
DENLY not been able to locate him. After
the second robbery a number of the de-
tectives in the employ of the express COM
pany were in Stockton looking for the
highwayman to show himself here, but
they went away disappointed, as he kept
| to the woods.
Every effort is now being made by the
| authorities to catch the lone highway
man, and as he has secured very little
piunder he is not likely to 60 far from his
haunts.

IN A LONDON PRISON,
Walter M. Castle, Wife and Son
Accused of Having Stolen
Furs.
Colonel Castle, Brother of the Accused,
Says the Charge Must Be
Mistake.

LONDON. Eng, Oct. 6.-Walter Michael
Castle, who claims to be an American
merchant; Ella Castle, his wife, and Fred
Castle, his son. 10 years old, were arrested
to-day at the Hotel Cecil and were charged
at the Police Court with stealing several
sable and chinchilla skins, of total value
OF S105, from furriers of this city.
Evidence was presented that the pris-
oners had entered the shops, and after ex-
amining the furs went out without buying
any. Immediately after the proprietors
missed the goods the Castles had exam
ined.
The police say they found in the rooms
occupied by the Castles at the hotel sew
eral trunks marked "Mrs. William Castle,
San Francisco and "Mr. Walter Castle"
which contained the missing furs, much
jewelry and some old hand painted china.
Mrs. Castle, when taken into custody, said !:
I'VE bought most of the things in Ge-
neia and one Saturday we bought from q
booth in the street."
The prisoners were remanded for a
week, bail being refused, and the boy was
discharged.
In reference to the news that Walter M.
Castle, his wife and child, have been put
in Jail IN London on a charge of theft
Colonel Albert e. Castle said last night:
"This must all be a mistake. No one
who knows Walter will believe any such
statement. If Waiter is in Jail there is
some misunderstanding about the matter
I do not believe that there is anything to
it or / would have received personal dis
patch from him, but have not had such
a dispatch. Walter was to have started
for home with his family tomorrow"
Walter M. Castle is a member of the
firm of Castle Bros. He has always been
known as man OF high character and is
exceptionally popular, for many amiable
qualities, all over the Pacific Coast. He
has also been noted for public spirit and
enterprise, being one of the foremost
young business men of San Francisco.
He has been abroad upon vacation.

GOLD FROM THE YUK0N.
Returning Circle City Miners Bring With
Them a Good Seasons Wage
iu Gold Dust

SEATTLE, WASH, Oct. 6-Nine horny
handed miners from the Yukon walked
into the Hotel Butler tonight, registered
and deposited 125 pounds of gold dust
with the clerk for safe-keeping. They were
of the steam schooner LaSme's passen-
gers. numbering, all told, $50. The Lakme
arrived in port this evening, thirteen days
out from st. Michaels. The passengers. all
of whom are from the Yukon, came down
the river to ST. Michaels on the North
American Transportation and Trading
Companys steamer P. B. Weare.
Fifty of these miners were successful in
their efforts at goid-hunting, securing
from $4,000 to $4,000 each; in fact. con-
servative estimate places the Lakme's
cargo of gold dust at $3.50, 900. Nearly all
WAS taken from Mastodon, Deadwood,
Eagle and Cloendyke creeks, around Circle
City.

SAW THEIR SHIP GO DOWN.
Survivors of The Willie Rosenfeid Tell of
the Vessels Loss in
Heavy Gale.

NEW YORK, N Y, Oct. 6.-On the
steamer Carib Prince, which arrived this
morning from Rio de Janeiro, were Mate
E. III. Gillespie and wife, Steward Burn
ham and his wife, who was the stewardess'
and a cabin boy of the wrecked ship
Willie Rosenfeld, which left here on April
% last for San Francisco. Mate Gillespie
tells this story:
Two days after leaving New York
Charles Simpson of New Jersey cut his
throat. They got along we'll until on July11,
in latitude So south, longitude 60 west, a
southwest gale and tremendous sea struck
them. The vessel sprang a leak and they
could barely keep her free. On the morn
ing of the 18th OF August there was four
and half feet of water in her hold and it
was decided to leave her.
They began work on the boats and by
o'clock next morning were clear of the
ship. Two and a half hours afterward
they saw her sink.
The first boat was commanded by Mate
Gillespie, and contained Captain Dunphy,
Mrs. Gillespie, steward, stewardess, car
penter, boatswain and five seamen. The
second boat was commanded by Second
Mate Baldwin and contained six sailors.
Two of the men who shipped as A. B. IS
were Englishmen named Ross. They
were sons of an English barrister, who
had bought fruit ranch for them in Cali
fornia. and they were on their way to
take charge of it.
The third boat was in charge of Third
Mate Smith, formerly a Columbia River
fisherman, and contained six sailors
The boats soon got separated, bnt the
first boat and one other landed, which
one Gillespie had been unable to find out.
By II o'clock on this day it was blowinga
gale and the boats nearly capsized before
they hove to and took in sail.
The gale lasted about thirty hours. The
women suffered very much. They first
sighted land ninety-nine miles out of
Imbetiba, Brazil, and could see the people
on the beach, but could not land on ac-
count of the breakers They finally landed
at Imbetiba in the afternoon of August 10.
