viewed there and laid out to give the
appearance of suicide.
Summing up. the coroner concluded
that the wounds could scarcely have
been inflicted by the deceased, hrst'
because those made by bullets were
in a position almost impossible for one
10 hold gun on ones self, and second,
because the man had but one hand
and could hardly have reached around
on the left side and made the knife
wound where it appeared on that side.
The gun living so close to the back OF
the head. the blood all on the left side
and the suggestive wagon tracks, ALL
the coroner thought, pointed to the
dead mans coming TO his death by
other hands than his own.
The body was loaded into the dead
wagon and taken to the morgue, where
it was stripped and further examined
The deceased was. a man apparently
so years of age and over. He was five
feet six inches in height and weighed
in the neighborhood of $50 pounds.
The field in which the body was
found extends east and west from
Fourth to Sixth West and from Elev-
enth South a couple of blocks north
It is owned by Adam Spears and is
used as a pasture in summer. 1t is
low and marshy and was covered with
bullrushes. Mr.. Spears and his brother
went TO the field at about noon yes
terday to burn the rushes and were
about completing their work when they
discovered the body by its being un-
covered by the fire. The fire singed
the hair all off the head of the dead
man and burned the eyes out Of the
sockets, leaving the corpse a horrible
thing 20 behold.

an Italian saloon on West Temple
street. who knew the deceased and his
sons, called at the morgue in the even
ing and identified the body and later
one of the sons also called and con-
firmed the Identification. Coroner Of
Tenbach will hold an inquest today.
The deceased came to America about
ten months ago from his native country
and brought an Italian girl who mar
ried the son Graciano. He was ad-
mitted under the agreement OIL the
sons, it is said, that they would sup

lived first with one son and the other
until his disappearance two weeks ago.
He is not known to have had any
property, and the only effects found on
him was 50 cents in one of the coat
pockets.

from some person whose name he did
not know.
Martin Kaspereit said he had been a
seaman on the Laurada, and his story
of the alleged expedition was in the
main similar to that of the previous
witnesses. He was also under pay.
Captain Henry w. Mosher of the tug
Volunteer testified to having towed the
lighter Green Point, loaded with boxes
and other packages, from Astoria TO
the Laurada, off Montauk Point, on
May 9.
Counsel for the defense then re-
quested Judge Broan to direct a YER
dict of acquittal, on the ground that
there had been no evidence to show
that either OF the defendants had set
on foot or carried out a military expe-
dition in and from the territory of the
United States.
General Tracy raised the question
whether the case of the defendants
came within the jurisdiction of the
southern district of New York, or even
within the territory of the United
States. The constitution provided, he
said, that the accused must be tried
within the district where the offense
was committed. Montauk Point is in
the eastern district of New York The

WEYLER A BEATEN MAN
That Is How Gen. o. D. Howard
Views II.
THE TIME HAD COME FOR HIM To
RESIGN.
Howard's View of the Cuban War
Is That 1t Is More a Question of
Finances Than Fighting-Refuses
to Talk on Our Governments Po-
sition.

ST. Louis, Nov, 19.-In an interview
this morning anent the rumor that
General Weyler had resigned from the
command of the Spanish forces in
Cuba, General o. o. Howard, ex-com-
manding general of the United States
army, said:
LAS 1 see it, General Weyler was a
beaten man and it was time for him
to resign His troops were whipped
and his strategic resources were at an
end when he went back to Havana.
The individual command Of General
WeyIer showed the inability of the
Spanish army to disledge the in
surgents. If he could have whipped
them he would have stayed and
whipped them. His retirement was the
beginning of the end so far as Weyler
is concerned. My view of the cuban
war is simply this: 1t is a question of
finances, not of fighting. Spain is big
enough to crush out every 2anebush,
as we'll as every insurgent in Cuba. if
she can raise the money to pay and
provision the troops required; but
Spain has a mighty big job on her
hands. It has already been clearly
proved that the Cubans are greater
fighters, greater strategists and a
greater people. Whether Spain can
raise enough money to pay enough men
is something about which the world is
guessing"
General Howard thinks, also, that
the Cuban war has developed nothing
new in military tactics. He deemed TO
express an opinion as to wh-.tncr the
United States should interfere On be-
half of the Cuban insurgents.
