Yesterdays Returns Gave the Cuban Sub
scription Fund n Good start.

The work of getting subscriptions
may be said to have gotten fairly
good start yesterday. In a very few
instances the attention of subscribers
was directed to the fact that the books
are now open" Scores of citizens of
Anaconda, who propose to give toward
the fund, feel that their contribution
must be modest and they seem dis
posed to wait till the larger ones are
in. That is mistake, as this fund must
be collected with all reasonable haste in
order that it may accomplish the great
est amount of good. All sums, how
ever small. will be cheerfully received
and acknowledged. Anacondas fund
ought to be well advanced to-day. Fol
lowing are the amounts received yester-
day:

Dark and Bloody Murder,


SAN Francisco, Dec. 16.--A hor-
rible murder was committed here at
dusk yesterday evening. The victim
was a woman and the scene of the
crime was in che Mission district,
about five blocks from Emanuel
church,
Many of the scenes OF the crime and
the accompanying circumstances re
sembled the tragic deaths Of Minnie
Williams and Blanche Lamont. 1t
was 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon that
the dead body was found in an upper
fiat, at No. S03 Guerrero street, by the
tenants Of lower fat. The woman
had been outraged and her body
beaten to jelly with coupling pin,
which was found in one of the rooms.
The victim is supposed to be Mrs.
Mary G. Clute, wealthy resident OF
WatSonyille, California. She had just
rented the fiat from Miss Blanchard
and the noise of carpet laying was
heard by the people in the lever fat.
! The tacklng ceased and all was quiet
| for time: then terrible screams were
heard. The occupants of the lower
| Hat became alarmed and started to in.
| vestigate, when they saw man leav-
| ing by an alleyway leading to the
rear entrance. They asked him the
cause of the trouble but he vouch-
safed no reply and made his escape.
On getting up stairs the dead body
was found. The position of the body
indicated that the dead woman had
been outraged. The police are search
ing for Miss Blanchard and also for a
clue to the carpet layer.
Joseph Foley, the carpet. layer, who
was working in Mrs. Clute's recently
rented fiat this afternoon, has been
arrested. He says he went to the fiat
at o'clock, leaving at 5, but asserts
that he knows nothing Of any murder.

the resolution will pass when vote is

that the majority for it will be the
greater for the recent delay. There
will continue to be some opposition.
and the plea will be made that any
material aid given in accordance with
executive recommendation is all that
Gun be reasonably expected.
In the house the sentiment in favor
of the recognition of the Cuban insur-
gents is strong, and II very radical
measure might be passed If that body

SURPRISED THE POWERS.
Demand for a Slice of Greek
Territory Not Likely to
Be Approved.
Will Be Asked to Modify the
Terms but a Refusal
Is Expected.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, May IL The
porte has replied officially to the note
Of the powers and declines to agree to
All armistice until the following condi.
lions are accepted:
The annexation of Thessaly, an in.
demnity of e1O,00O,COO (Turkish), and
the abolition of the capitulations.
The porte proposes that plenipoten'
tiaries Of the powers should meet at
Pharsalos to discuss the terms of peace,
and declares that if these conditions
IRE declined the Turkish army will
continue to advance.
The demand for the annexation OF
Thessaly is based upon the fact that
the province was originally coded to
Greece on the advice of the powers
with the object of ending brigandage
and Greek incursions into Ottoman
territory, the porte believing at the
time that the cession would attain
these objects, but the recent incursions
of Greek bands and the events imme-
diately preceding the war have proved
to the contrary. This is the substance
OF the reply.
