ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Lieutenant Hill Tries to End His
Existence.

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-The of
ficers on duty in the War Department
were greatly shocked to-day at a report
made to the department by the Pullman
Company of the suicide of First Lieu
tenant r. G. Hill, Twentieth Infantry,
who was attached to the military in
formation corps of the department.
The circumstances surrounding the
case were distressing. The officer, it was
said, made an end of himself while suf-
fering from an attack of hydrophobia,
or from temporary insanity, brought on
from fear of the dread disease.
Lieutenant Hill had been on leave of
absence about six weeks, and yesterday
started from Buffalo on his return to
Washington. The porter on the Pull
man in which he was seated noticed that
his actions were erratic, and kept him
under observation. The last night,
however he eluded his watchman, and
when the porter went in the closet room
he found on the floor a large pool of
blood and knife. The unfortunate of
ficer had cut himself and then thrown
himself from the window of the rapidly
moving car. This happened just be-
yond Harrisburg, Pa.
Lieutenant Whitney has been sent
from the War Department to bring to
Washington the remains of his brother
officer, whose wife is now stopping at
COlumb bus 0.
About two months ago Lieutenant Hill
was bitten by dog, supposed at the
time to-have been rabid, and his friends
here are confident, from complaints he
had made, that he was suffering from
the effects of the bite when he came to
his end
1t is said at the War Department that
he was an officer of unusual ability
He was appointed from Iowa, served as
Judge Advocate of the Department of
Missouri, as a member of the Inter
which involved survey work in Central
America, and had been aide de-camp
to General Porter.
WILLIAMSPORT Pa-). Sept. 21.-
The announcement of Lieutenant Hills
death is premature. He made the at
tempt to commit suicide by jumping
from the train, as narrated above, while
it was running about forty miles an
hour, but miraculously escaped death
About ) o'clock Hill walked into the
Pennsylvania Railroad station at
Montgomery and inquired for a physi-
clan to attend to big wound in his
wrist. He was brought to the Will
Transport Hospital, where he is now
resting comfortably.

Some Words Between the Governor and
Acting Chairman Phelps.
Professor Holden VIII be Granted
Leave of Absence and the Res
ignation of Professor Cotton
Will be Accepted-The Trouble
the Outcome of Differences
at the Lick Observatory.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-There
was a lively tilt between Governor
Budd, Acting Chairman V. H Phelps
and President Kellogg at the meeting
of the University Regents to-day over
the contemplated resignation of Pro-
fessor Holden.
Regent Phelps brought the matter up
by suggesting that as Professor Holden
of the Lick Observatory contemplated
resigning, it would be only right and
proper that the board allow him three
months leave of absence with pay, in
order to allow of his completing ar
rangements for the future.
Governor Budd said that it had come
to his knowledge that a letter was in
the possession of some member of the
board from Professor Cotton of the
Lick Observatory to the effect that he
rendered his resignation on account of
the conduct of Professor Holden. He
intimated that this letter had been sup
pressed by those by whom it had been
received.
President Kellogg admitted having
received the letter referred to, and stat
ed that he had turned it over to Chair
man Phelps of the Lick Observatory
Committee.
The latter stated that he understood
that Professor Cotton had disposed of
the matter by leaving both the ObserV-
atory and the State.
Governor Budd insisted upon the
production of the letter, and after 1t
had been read by Secretary Davis, the
matter was referred to a committee
for investigation, which will inform
Professor Cotton that his resignation
has been accepted, and will arrange for
granting Pr lessor Holden's leave of
absence

tween the United States and Spain as
to the war in Cuba are now entirely in
the hands of General Woodford. who
has had fruitful experience both in
peace and war, and will be equal to the

tanned in the dispatch from San Sebas-
tian to the Temps" of Paris, purporting
to give the substance of the interview
which took place Sunday between
United States Minister Woodford and
the Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish Min
lister for Foreign Affairs, at which Cen
eral Woodford is said to have insisted
courteously but firmly upon the neces-
sity of terminating the war in Cuba,

terminated by the end of October the
United States will feel justified in TAX
ing measures to secure the independ-
ence of Cuba.
In reply, the former Minister said:
MY lips are sealed until after my ar
rival in Washington
While Mr. Taylor refused to discuss
this matter, his manner tended to con-
firm the story told by the correspond
ent Of the Paris Temps"
Regarding the general feeling in
Spain, Mr. TAYLOR remarked: Il must
in justice say that / have never re-
ceived any personal discourtesy from
any one, but for the past year my resi-
dence was guarded by soldiers" "

victed of Cruelty to Animals.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 21.-Captain
Chas. A jerks, Troop A, N. G. c., was
convicted of cruelty to animals in Po-
lice Judge COnlon's court to-day. He
was charged at the instance of the local
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals for having allowed sixteen
troop horses to be confined on sand
lot adjacent to the armory without food
for over three days.
Judge Conlon in rendering judgment,
said that he had never heard of such
inhuman conduct since he had been
upon the bench. AS a National Guards

affairs could exist as had been testified
to.
