The veteran statesman was on his

stating that his position in the next

make a peaceful government of the
island charge on this country.

Prime Minister Capovas has outlined a
programme of governmental reforms
which will be applied both in Porto
Rico and in Cuba. These reforms will
give the Cubans practical autonomy,
and will, l hope, settle the question. $"

Murder md Suicide.

SEDALIA, Mo, Jan. l6.-Crazed by
jealousy, John Snodgrass, a prominent
business man of Upton, blew his
wife's brains out with pistol and
then turned the deadly weapon on
himself with fatal effect. Both were
dead before anyone reached them.
The husbands suspicious that his wife
was unfaithful caused the two to sepa-
rate a short time ago. The husband
closely observed the actions of his
wife, and the visits to her residence of
two young men confirmed his suspi-
cions. He was seen to go to the house
occupied by his wife, and few min
utes later the shots were heard.

Boys Die In the Burning of the Dallas
u. Orphans Home.
DALLAS, Texas, Jan. l6.-At n late
hour last night the boys wing of Buck

The city, was destroyed by fire. Five
boys persisted in the flames, and sew
eral Others were burned. The dead
are: Carlos Jones, Birdie Britton,
Milton Britton, Martin Britton, un-
known child.
Before Mrs. Britton, the boys mat
ron, retired for the night, she had the
boys clean out and prepare stove sit
uated in the room just under her, for
the morning fire. This was her usual
custom. She then sent one of the
large boys, upon whom she depended
regularly for work of the kind, to see
if the work had been properly done.
He reported that everything was all
right and she then retired.
She had been in bed but short time
when she smelled smoke, and immedi-
ately jumped up to investigate. Even
then the floor under her feet was
almost too hot to stand on. Perceiv-
ing this, she Immediately raised the
alarm, and runners were sent to all
the rooms to alarm the children and
get them out of the buildings as
quickly as possible. In her anxiety to
get the children out she neglected to
assist those who were in her room.
After seeing large percentage of the
children had been removed from the
buildino and that others would be out
in few minutes, she suddenly remem-
bered her own children, and, running
to her own room, endeavored to rescue
them.
She was too late, however. The fire
had already entered her own room,
and although she fought the flames
with desperate zeal, she was compelled
to retreat with the atfrighted cries of
her children ringing in her ears,
knowing they were doomed to death.

may fairly be stated that thousands
of people are literally running away,
large crowds being seen running along
the road carrying bundles of their be-
longings and dragging their children
behind them. A few of them were
asked the reason of their haste, and
the answer was that they were going
off to their villages down the coast to
get away from the plague and the au-
thorities, who were anxious to secure
the lives of 10000 people for the recent
outrage of the queens statue.
