Cutters and Cruisers Sent to Sea to

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Acting Secre-
tary Wike has instructed collectors of
customs to look out for the steamer ].
w. Hawkins, alleged to have left New
York last Friday on filibustering ex-
pedition to Cuba. Senior de LONE, the
Spanish minister, says Calixto Garcia
is aboard the steamer, with arms, am
munition and men, and that the
steamer will take on more men and

Orders have been sent to the revenue
cutters Morrill,, McLane and Colfax, to

robbery, followed by murder. oc-
curred in this place last night. The
victim was Mrs. Edmund Tucker, who
resided ON Central avenue, near Bronx
vile. Mr.. Tucker arrived at his home
shortly after seven o'clock last night,
and to repeated knocking on the door
received no reply. The rooms were
dark, and he decided that his
wife was visiting some neigh
Dor. He called at the houses of
several, but could find no trace of her.
Upon returning to his home he
removed wire screen at one of the
windows and entered.
Mr.. Tucker found his five-year old
boy In back room. The child in
formed him that a man wearing
beard had entered the house about
dusk and struck and cholsed his
mother. Mr.. Tucker immediately be-
gan search and found the body Of
Hrs. facl<er q1I>o oNynaa shortly to bo-
come mother, in small hallway on
the sitting room. She had been choked
to death, as several finger marks were
plainly visible upon her throat. There
were several bruises on her breast and
body, showing that the burglar had
repeatedly hit and kicked her
The child has an injury on the right
temple.
After the finding of the body a
search of the house was made, and it
was found that considerable jewelry
and clothing had been stolen. The
general opinion is that Mrs. Tucker
discovered the burglar in the sitting
room, and when she made an outcry
he killed her. The police report that
man answering the description of
the murderer, as given by the child,
had been seen hanging about Mrs.
fuckers house during the afternoon.

THE WAR IN ABYSSiNiA.
Native Chiefs Angry at King Meneiik for
Releasing the Garrison at Makallc.

ROME, Jan. 27.-A dispatch from
Massowah says that messenger has
arrived at the camp of Gen. Baratieri,
the commander of the Italian forces,
bringing letters from Menelel, king Of
the Abyssinians,to to King Humbert, and
Gen. Baratieri.
Col. Gallinano, the commander of the
Italian forces which were recently

Makalle, after a long siege by the
Abyssinians, has not yet arrived at
Gen. Baratieri's camp. 1t is reported
that Col. Gallinano exploded the maga-
zine and blew up the fortress at
Makalle, upon leaving the town.
1t is reported that Abyssinian chiefs

son by King Menelek, rs thoy believe
they would have eventually forced the
Italians to surrender uncor ditionally.
1t is said that the Abysinis n army is

King Humbert signed decree yes,

A DRAWING GARD.

Thousands Throng the beach at Long
ranch Mu, = 20 IVA Ms'cn 'ne lnsnec.an. nosa no..s
hound. the steamer ~. paul. from Her
Cradle in the Sand Into Deep Water.
LoNa BRANoH. N. j., Jan. 27.-Ten
thousand visitors from the numerous
resorts north and south OF this place,
as well as from New York, Philadel-
phia and the larger New Jersey towns,
fioclsed here to-day and repaired to the
beach to watch the efforts made to
pull the steamer st. Paul, the famous
ocean greyhound, over the bar into
deep water The ship was moved 17O
feet seaward, but the food tide was
not of sufficient duration to enable the
crews of the steamer and the wreck
ing companies to haul her into water
deep enough to float. There were so
powerful tugs opposite the st. Paul
ready to render assistance, but they
were not utilized.
Six immense anchors were planted
in the sea about thousand yards
from the stranded vessel. Fastened to
the anchors were several steel hawsers
which were connected with the pow
erfuI capstan on tlle stern d the sllip..'
This capstan was rotated by steam
power furnished by the steamers boil
ers and engines. Everything was In
readiness for the haul and soon after
midnight the engines were started.
The hawsers frightened, the
capstan creaked, and inch by inch
the big st. Paul was pulled seaward.
When the tide turned to the ebb, the
boat had moved nearly one-third OF
her length and was placed In more
advantageous position, as, at low tide,
she was only six feet in the sand and
in II feet of water. The strain on the
hawsers was kept moderately taut
during the day in order to keep the
ship from again moving toward the
beach
No at snlpt was made to float her
while the afternoon tide was at the
flood. Those in charge predict that
to-morrow's high tide will be higher
than that of to-day, and with favor
able conditions they expect to COM
plete the work begun so auspiciously.
The sea was almost as quiet to-day
as the proverbial mill pond. This
state of affairs caused the life-saving
crews to remove from the ship the
line thrown to her when stranded,
which was used to run the breeches
buoy to land.
All the passengers of the st. Paul
were taken to New York in tugs late
yesterday afternoon, but the entire
crew. numbering 400 including many

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.



An Iowa Farmer and His Son Seek Re-
venge Upon the Family of u Neighbor
for Accusing Them OF stealing-One vic-
tim ON Each Side Shot to Pieces, and
Both In a Criticai Condition.
PATTON, Ia, Jan. 2s-One of the
worst tragedies ever known in this
part of the country happened about
seven o'clock Sunday night on the
farm of John j. Brown, four miles
east of here. Browns family had ac-
cused John w. Fleclss' family of steal
ing, and Sunday evening Flecks and
his son George, armed themselves
with shotgun and revolvers and
started to Browns house to settle the
matter, as they told Steighmeyer on
their way over. Steighmeyer tried to
get them to go back home and settle It
upsome other time, and the son wanted
to go back, but the father would not
hear of It and made his son go with
him.
On arriving they called Brown OUT
and as he stepped to the door, stuck
shotgun in his face, but he was too
quick and lodged SO that the charge
Igrazed the side of his head. On the
opbearnnce Of John Brovp,.Ir.. Yoilng
Flecks shot him, the bullet passing
through the left lung, and lodging in
the right.
During the fight that followed ten
shots were fired. The Browns, with
the assistance of Mr.. James and son,
got the arms away from the Flecks.

ESCAPED FROM SIBERIA.


Remarkable Experience of Prof. schwe-
nicke, an Educated Russian.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 27.-The Daily
Report this evening prints the story
of the escape from the Siberian mines
of Prof. Schwenicke, who before being
condemned to an indefinite term of
punishment held a position in the Uni
versity of Moscow.
Schweniclxe came to this country in
1893 and visited the Worlds fair, going
thence to New York. While there he
came in contact with the prominent
members of the Russian colony.
Among them was the editor of the
New York Liberty, the anarehistic
journal of that city. Upon his return
to Moscow he was arrested and thrown
into prison. The detectives of the Rus
sian government had reported his
meeting with the editor of Liberty in
New York.
AT the trial he was accused of having
been in confidence with the editor of
Liberty, and Prof. Schwenicle, not
knowing that the editor was nihilist,
admitted frankly that he had been
talking with him. He said, however,
that the meeting was merely a casual
one, and no political matters had been
discussed.
The court quickly convicted him and
sent him to the town of Yakootsk.
The governor of the prison, finding
that he was not of the ordinary stripe
of convict, but was university pro-
fessor, seized the opportunity of hav-
ing his children educated properly.
He excused Schwenicke from hard la
Dor and set him to work to teach the
children.
Some time after civil engineer who
had known Schwenicle in Mos
COW came to the place and assisted
him to escape. He made his way to
Yokohama, where friends helped him
to purchase ticket for San Francisco,
via Victoria. The professor is Rus
sian, of high intelligence, and speaks
nine languages.

WICHITA, Kas., Jan. 2s.-In the case
of Mrs. Leonard, who is charged with
being an accessory to the murder Of
her second husband last November, to
get S., 200 insurance, the jury was dis
charged after midnight Sunday night,

The trial of her former husband,
Marion Williamson who is charged
with being in the conspiracy, began
yesterday. He consented to the di-
vorce Of his wife shortly before she
married Leonard last fall. The evil

five hours before the murder, in Leo

Slsel treaty that the British gov

TlAstAited Press has reason to pre-
dict 4 Naat ere then the evidence of the
esis 4 3 of 3 Russo-T Turl<ish compact
Mir 0tc0ne 10 complete that iurtheri
denials will be useless. In the minis
terial circle it is understood that Sir
Philip Currie, the British ambassador
to Turkey, will be recalled shortly,
and that this action is due to the fact
that he has been over-reached and dis
credited in Constantinople.
The Speakers Constantinople corre-
spondent, whose accurate inside infor-
nation gives his communications high
reliability, has written, under date of
January 1S, that Russia is the absolute
master of the situation. The secret
compact guarantees the integrity of
the Ottoman empire, Russia agreeing
to assist in the restoration of order in
Kurdistan, and also to defend the Dar-
danelles. France has made her
bargain with Russia; and will
consequently give her consent to
the compact. Germany is currying
favor with the czar. Austria will
maintain a neutrality and await ber
opportunity. This, the correspondent
adds, is the end of the Intervention of
the powers-a triumph for Russia and
the defeat and humiliation of Great
Britain.
1t is believed that the Russo-Turkish
agreement is not embodied in a formal
treaty, but consists rather in an ex-
change of notes.
As the entente practically makes
Turkey Russian protectorate, it is
expected that twill be attended by
cessation of the Armenian massacres.
The car henceforth shares the sui
tan's responsibilities.
The London papers, discussing what
Great Britain will do, variously sug-
gest the open annexation of Egypt,
the seizure of an island near the
Dardanelles, and the sending of feet
to Constantinople. They generally
conclude, however, that it will be best
for Great Britain in the meantime to
lie low.
