MANY persons who are superstitious ro-

omen of bad luck, - said traveller, "but /

In the state insane asylum at the time.
One evening about II o'clock was sitting
In my room reading, when i heard the
door suddenly open, and on turning around
was startled to SEQ one of the patients, q
man whose mania often took n most vio-
lent form, standing In the doorway. He
had always been kept under lock and key,
and how he managed to get out Is mys-
terry to me to this day. / tried to appear as
cool as possible and asked him what he
wanted. Il have come to kill you,' he
replied, at tho same time taking from his
pocket pistol, which he had gained pos

As he advanced toward mo his eyes wan
dered around the room, when all at once
he saw his own image in large mirror
that hung on the wall. His whole domean-

forget all about me he crept toward what
no supposed TO be another man. Sudden
ly, with yell, he raised the pistol and
fired point blank at his image in the glass.
The mirror was broken into a thousand
pieces. His back was turned to me, and In
an instant sprang upon him and held
him till help arrived. I have always
thought that glass was the means of saw

HAVANA, Jan. 2.-The news received
from the front tends to confirm previ-
Gus deductions made regarding the
movements Of the insurgents. 1t is ad-
mitted once more that the Cubans are
again marching westward with the in
tention, apparently, of pushing for Los
Paleu, a small town ON the railroad
leading to Guines and well westward
of Matanzas and the town of Alfonso
XIII. Paleu is slightly southwark and
a little to the west of Cabezas, the most
westerly point yet reached by the in
surgents, and where they are reported
to have burned the railroad station a
day or so ago.

but He Cut the Wires as

Anglo-German Relations En-
dangered by the Exist

LONDON, Jan. 2.-The secretary Of
state for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, has issued the following state
ment of the Transvaal question:
Having learned on Monday evening
that DR.. Jameson had entered the Boer
country, have since been continuously
engaged in an endeavor to avert the
consequences of his extraordinary ac-
ton. Sir Hercules Robinson has by
proclamation publicly repudiated DIR.
Jameson's act, and has enjoined the
British subjects to obey the law and
remain quiet. DIR. Jameson and his
officers have also been ordered to re-
tire Immediately. 1t is hoped that
collision will be averted, but DR.. jane
son cut the wires as he advanced.
"The British agent at johannesburg"
Mr.. Cham berlain's statement contin-
ues, ''is moving forward to meet DR..
Jameson and to order him in the queens
name to retire forthwith. / have called
upon the chartered company to re-
pudiate DIR. Jameson's proceedings, Of
which the company says it is entirely
innocent" Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, premier
of Cape Colony, stated that DR.. Jame-
son acted without his authority. As
soon as he heard that he contemplated
entering the Transvaal he endeavored
to stop him, but found that the wires
were cut

Indications Point to Another Tie Up OF

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-The situation
OF affairs in the street railway trouble is
again very grave. The employees are
in executive session with their leaders
and it is evident from the atmosphere
OF things that second strike could
easily be precipitated. The matter un-
der discussion was the result of con-
ference held early in the night by a
subcommittee of the employees and
General Manager Beetem of the Union
Traction company. The meeting lasted
three hours, and at it's conclusion the
aspect of affairs was favorable for an
adjustment of the difficulty. In answer
to questions the men said they came as
employees of the company, but do not
deny their membership to the Amalga-
mated Association of Railway Workers,
which has been the stumbling block
throughout. The employees seem un-
able to agree on the question of declar-
ing another strike and the final out
come of the meeting is much in doubt.

WILL GERMANY INTERFERE?
Crisis Is Clearly Endangering Anglo
German Relations.


LONDON, Jan. "A dispatch from
The Hague to The Times says that the
Rotterdamsche Courant regards DIR.
Jameson's action in the Transvaal as
most fragrant example of British arro-
gance. 1t admits that Holland can do
nothing for the Beers and fears that
England will seize the opportunity to
wipe out the stain of the Majubhill in
cident. 1t also expresses the hope that
Germany will come to the rescue.
The Berlin correspondent Of The
Times says: The crisis is clearly en-
dangering the Anglo German relations.
Public opinion is excited and angry,
and, without doubt, the government
viii interfere, because relations have
gradually arisen between the Transvaal
and Germany which have assumed, in
the public mind, almost the shape of
moral protectorate by Germany over
the Transvaal.
