Point

PORTLAND orr, July 15.-Henry
Cook, a Well-knOWn saloon man, shot
Mrs. A. Risley this morning at l o'clock
and then killed himself. The shooting
occurred in the southern part of the
city, at Second and Mill streets. The
two had been walking in that end of the
tcwn, and had evidently come to a Sc
rious misunderstanding over love af-
fairs. Two shots startled the persons
living in the vicinity, who rushed to
their windows and saw a woman run
ming down Second street. Then two
more shots were fired in quick success
sion, and Cooks body fell on the side
walk. Mrs. Risley owned a lodging
house at Seventh and Morrison streets
and was we'll known. Cook, who had
been employed in saloons for years, was
German, about 40 years of age. He
owned a place on Second and Ash
streets. Mrs. Risley was shot in the
back of the neck, but is not fatally in
jured. Cook was killed at once. The
trouble was caused by jealousy.

stories coming from oil portions Of the
country indicating that enlistmenIs

to Cuba to join the insurgents in their
struggle against the SpsniardS.
These enlistments are in direct vlo-
lation Of the neutrality laws and are
prohibited under severe pen altles.
For accepting commission TO serve
against Spain, a country with which
the United States is now at peace, the
penalty prescribed by section 1881 Of
the Revised Statutes is $1,000 fine
and three years imprisonment, while
for enlisting to serve against Spain
or hiring any one to enlist, the PEN
atty is almost as heavy, being a maxi
mum Of $1,000 fne aud three yearts
imprisonment. The enforcement Of
these laws naturally fall within the
functions Of the United States, TO
whose knowledge the attempt at in
friDgement is brought, but, X tho
movements continue on as large
scale as reported, IT is probable that
the department Of justice will send
instructions Of a SPECIAL character to

the President last spring, and enioin.
