IN HIS OWN TRAP.
THAT IS WHERE CAvILL, THE
SWIMMER, WAS CAUGHT.
Tub Containing Air Usually, Was
Evidently Full Of Natural Gas,
Which the Swimmer Inhaled and
Was at Once Asphyxiated.

Stockton, Cal, May 23.-The death of
Charles Caviil. the noted Australian
swimmer, here last night, is ascribed
to a peculiar cause. 1t is thought that
he was asphyxiated by gas instead Of
being drowned. The Stockton baths,
where the fatal exhibition was given,
are filed with water from natural wells
and gases arise in the water in the
tank. Cavills exhibition of staying un-
der water for several minutes is said
to be trick to fool the people. for the
swimmer used an inve tied tub contain
ing air, in which taSSareathe while he
was under water The tub used last
might was placed in the water during
the day and left with sufficient air for
the exhibitor 70 breathe for several
minutes. Cavill went down and went
under this tub. as he had planned, and
there died.
It is believed that when the tub was
drawn down under the water il was

asphyxiation. When Cavill got under
this tank and breathed the gas he lost
consciousness.
Drs Manlev and Hinkle. who were
called in. say there was no water in the
lungs, and that Cavlll was asphyXiated
by gas.
Cavill was born in England and came
from a family of famous swimmers.
When II years old he commenced his
racing career and won over 100 races.
During that time he saved 81 persons
from drowning at sea and held medals
from the ROYAL Humane society, the
National Shipwreck society and the
Shipwrecked Mariners society. He
came here recently from Australia and
Immediately acquired notoriety by
swimming across the Golden Gate and
around Seal Rocks feats that no swim
mer had previously accomplished.

Washington, May 23.-The Morgan
resolution recognizing the belligerency
of the Cuban insurgents, which passed
the senate on Thursday, will not be
acted upon by the house this week.
That is the decision of the Republican
leaders. They have decided to block
the resolution until the plans of the
president which are now maturing are
formulated. There will doubtless be a
demand ON the part of the minority
for immediate action, but they are
powerless to secure consideration I'M
less the rules committee will report a
special order. This the rules commit
tee will not do. The majority will an
tagonize any attempt TO force consid-
GRAFTON with a motion TO adjourn until
Thursday. On Thursday the conference
report on the Indian or sundry civil
bill may be ready. If one or the ether
is not ready the house will adjourn
until the following Monday.

TETUAN-cOrIAS INCIDENT.
Premier Does Not Believe He is JUS
titled in Interfering.

tilted in Interfering.
London, May 23.-The Standards
correspondent at Madrid says:
In the conference held on Saturday
between the president of the senate,
the premier and Senior Sagasta with
reference to the Tetuan-ComaS incl
dent the president said he would not
be justified in interfering, as the al
fair had not occurred in the senate
chamber, but in the lobby. The
premier declared that the opposition
ought TO be satisfied if the Duke OF
Tetuan accounted in the senate cham
Der that he never intended to slight or
give offense to the Liberal minority.
He added that the government could
not dispense with the Duke of Tetuans
services as minister of foreign affairs,
because he alone was acquainted with
and able to conduct important
and delicate pending negotiations
with foreign governments (meaninS
America).
Senior Sagasta promised to give his
followers conciliatory advice, but said
he must be guided by their decision.
Accordingly he summoned meeting OF
the Liberals, who were in no con-
ciliatory temper However, after
prolonged discussion they gave note
OF confidence to Senior SaSasta, with
instructions to settle the conflict on
the understanding that they would not
enter the contest until the government
had given them such satisfaction as
Senior Sagasta deemed proper
The dissenting conservatives de-
cIared that they would follow the
Liberals and therefore ministeralists
only have been present in parliament
since Friday. The premier on receiv-
ing Senior Sagasta's reply went to the
palace to inform the queen regent who
summoned a council of ministers
The crisis has drawn popular atten
ton from the attitude of the United
States senate. which a majority of
members affect to consider without i'm
portance as bearing upon the immedi-
ate relations of the two countries.

how a staid and experienced statesman
like the Duke of Tetuan could have COM

easta is willing to do all he consistently
can TO minimize the difficulty of the situa-
ton. but it seems impossible that the

Especial to The Herald.l


Washington, May 23.-In an inter
view with a Herald representative last
evening Mr.. King stated that he had
been misrepresented by the Associated
Press report of his speech in the
house the other day in reply to Mr..
Cooper of Wisconsin. Mr.. Cooper saw
fit, in the course of his remarks IN
regard to the proposition to open the
Uncompahgre reservation to insinuate
that the governor of Utah and other
state officials were not men of in
tegrity or unQuestioned honesty. In
his reply. Mr.. King stated that he
knew the gentlemen well and that they
were all honorable men and worthy of
respect, but he in no way defended
soonerism. In conversing about the
matter last evening. the judge said
that there was no doubt but that the
frequent charges of soonerism made
against Utah state officials on the floor
of the house had prejudiced many
members against the proposition 10
open the reservation at this time.

the session as soon as possible Others
think a change of policy expedient and,
in fact inevitable. All admit the diff
ficulty of appointing Carlist min
istry to carry ON the business of the
country.
