IN THE FKEsENoH OF n1s LOVE
A san Francisco Youth Swallows Strych-
nine aud Dies.


SAN Francisco, Oct. 15.-Aided by
the hand of his sweetheart, Tessie
Moore, William T. Hamilton, youth of
10 years, last evening mixed a bottle of
strychnine with glass of water, swal-
lowed the potion, and within 15 minutes
lay dead at the feet of his sorrowing
love.
Last February Tessie Moore, now Is
years old, residing at 1929 McAliister
street, and William T. Hamilton, then
Is years of age, residing at 504 Baker
street, engaged themselves to be mar
rents refused their consent to the union.
This evening at $3.50 O'Clock young
Hamilton called at the home OF his aft
anced. He remained with her few
minutes, and then went to the drug store
at McAllister and Baker streets and pur-
chased bottle of strychnine. Return
ing, he told Miss Moore that he had
bought bottle of bromo seltzer. The
girl, believing what he said to be true,
led him to the kitchen, took from the
shelf glass and placed it to receive the
powder. Into the glass Hamilton
poured the poison. Attentive to her
lovers wants, Miss Moore procured for
him spoon with which to mix the
drink. This done, Hamilton filed the
glass with water and with "here goes,
Tess,'' drank off the deadly draught, the
unsuspecting maiden lovingly watching

AN 1NFANTILE CROOK.
EIeven-Year-old Boy Sentenced for
Burglary.

Burglary.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Dennis Myron is
only II years old; but he has been ar
rested fourteen times and is now under
sentence to the reform school as bur-
glar. He grew up in that unsavorv
neighborhood known as "Little HE'LL"
and about as soon as he wore trousers
fell into the companionship of thieves
and toughs. He helped woman in
shoplifting, and then took up thieving
on his own account.
Myron went 10 theater a short time
ago with Richard Mageevy, years old.
They took an alley ronte upon leaving
saw a window in the rear of No. 80,
Dearborn street, open. Myron told
Mageevy to get inside and grab what he
could while he watched for ''jigger."
He boosted the younger boy inside; no
digger" appearing, the boys got away
with cigars and some small novelties.
The next day there was SO much cigar
smoking along the docks that detectives
made inquiries. They traced the cigars
to the small boys.
When this criminal was sentenced by
Judge Clifford an angry look settled on
his dirty face, and his begrimed fist,
tightly clenched, was shaken just as near
Detective Walbaum's nose as the mite
could get it, as he said:
"You just wait; I'll settle you.''

Spain Is Soon to Cease Hos
tilities.
FIGHTING TO BE STOPPED MARCH l
Island win Then Be surrendered to
the Insurgents--Spain's Reason
for this Course.

CADIZ, Oct. l5.-If Spain has not put
down the insurrection in Cuba by the
1st of March, it is the intention of the
government to give up the struggle
and let the island go. The sig
nificance of this statement, coming direct
from an officer of rank in the Spanish
army, within the week, must certainly
be regarded as of no little Importance.
The above determination is an open
secret among those who are close to the
government, and it is said that the pol
icy is being adopted of exaggerating the
magnitude of the trouble in the Philip
pine islands with view of preparing
the people for the ultimate design Of
letting Cuba go.
By way of further corroboration of
this estimate of the situation it may be
remarked that while Spain is sending
more than 200, 900 troops to Cuba, who
are in the main very young and undisci-
plined, she is carefully keeping her SO,-
600 we'll disciplined and efficient soldiers
who may be available in case of an out
break at home. She is also keeping in
Spanish waters twelve warships which
are ready for sea, and which could be of
great service in Cuban waters in aiding
the United States in that police work
which she now asks that country to do
for her.
W. G. Foster, manager of the Eastern
Telegraph Company here, speaking of
the situation, said:
'FThere is no question that the govern
ment Is trying to use the PHILIPPINE
islands troubles to distract the peoples
attention from Cuba. There is no doubt
that Spain intends to do her utmost to
crush the Cuban insurrection between
now and March. Failing in that, am
informed that she will give up the
struggle.
'fAn important Issue is the fact that
Cuba has a debt of $500. 900 900, and that
if Spain puts down the insurrection,
Cuba will have to pay that debt, whereas
if Cuba wins, the payment of that debt
will-fall on Spain, who contracted it on
behalf of Cuba. Naturally the planters
who have been driven from the half
ruined plantations, however loyal they
may appear to be to Spain, really want
to see the Cubans succeed, as in that
case they would not be taxed by Spain
to pay the interest on the debt, and
could then start again under more favor
able auspices.
meanwhile every one is talking
about Cuba, and little is said of the
Philippine Islands, although the latter
comprises 10000 square miles, against
$4,000 for Cuba. In point of population
the PHILIPPINES have 1856, 900 as against
2.276.000 for Cuba and Porto. Rico COM
bined. 1 am satisfied that Spain will
either have won in Cuba by March let
next or have given up the struggle"
Governor Abril, governor of the Prov
ince of Cadiz, was next interviewed. In
substance he said that Cleveland had
not done much for Spain, and he did not
see how a change in administration
could make matters worse. unless the
independence of Cuba should be ac-
knowledged. He says he does not con-
template war between Spain and the
United States. The governor would not
say that great Cuban victory would

rope, was admitted to the bar in Phila-
delphia. and afterward removed to Al

ments of men, and he subsequently re-
ceived the thanks of the War Depart

iZing, equipping and forwarding troops.
He was the first United States Consul
General for France and Algeria IN
1S69-73 and 1902, and acting Consul

in Russia was still open. and he pre-
sented to Secretary Evarts the advant-
ages that would accrue to the COM
merce of the United States were a grain

port. The event justified his judg-
ment. since the exports of cereals from

ual protection of American persons and

Suicide of Banker WaSmanSdOrf, at
Chicago, Yesterday.
Unable to Stand the Wreck of His
Fortune and the Criticisms of
Depositers, He Shot Himself
Through the Head-Another Re-
suit Of the Illinois Bank Failure.

Chicago, December 27-Suffering
from depression caused by financial re-
verses. Otto Wasmansdorff, a well
known banker of this city, to-day fired
a bullet into his brain and died almost
instantly.
Banker Wasmansdorff killed himself
in a front hall bedroom at his home on
Cleveland avenue, at II o'clock this
morning. His sons, William G. and
Otto, Jr., who were in the parlor be
meath their fathers bedroom, heard
the report of the revolver and rushed
up stairs. Running into the room the
Mortified sons beheld their father lying
on the bed dying, a revolver lying at
his side He had shot himself
IN THE RIGHT TEMPLE,
and a tiny stream of blood was flowing
down his cheek. Everything in the
room was in perfect order. The deed
apparently had been deliberately
planned.
Mr.. WasmansdOrff was n member OF
the private banking firm Of Wasmans-
dcrff & Heinnemann, which failed a
week ago as a result of the failure OF
the National Bank Of Illinois. The
failure of his bank had crushing ef-
feet upon Mr. Wasmansdorff, and also
seriously affected his wife who is Ill.
The banker for several days was un-
able to eat or sleep. The criticism OF
unfortunate depositors weighed him
down. and he was in a constant troub-
led state Of mind. This morning the
banker appeared brighter and less trou-
bled in mind than upon any other day
since the financial crash that ruined
him. After breakfast with his family.
with whom he chatted pleasantly, he
glanced over the morning papers. lie
then engaged in frolic with his little
granddaughter, after which he retired
to his room. Fifteen minutes later
THE FATAL SHOT
was heard by the two sons. The young
men were overcome with grief, and
said they never had the slightest sus-
picion that their father contemplated
such an act. Mrs. Wasmansdorff was
prostrated by the shock
Al the llilc VI llt iolulS 'iN "S'N'"

Mr.. Wasmansdorff had been banker
in this city for more than n quarter OF
a century. and during all that time he
was member of the firm which went
down in the crash last Monday. He
was Of a retiring and unobtrusiye ma
ture and was known in the business
community as y conservative and hon.
est man. He was about 50 years old.
