A MISREPRESENTATION.
1t appears that the article in Wee

1t appears that the article in We'd
rjesdays Register concerning the
sports at the Turner picnic, was in
correct, and that this paper was i'm
posed upon by three active members
of the Wheeling Turnverein. The in
formation was published in the form
in which it was received from Peter
Meyer, Charles Higgins and Frank
Straub. On account of the fact that
these gentlemen were known to be
members of the Turner society, it was
not considered necessary to require
them to make affiidavits as to the
truth Of their statements, nor to cor
roborate them through other sources.
Their simple word was regarded as
sufficient. All of which gees to show
that appearance is often deceptive, and
confidence frequently misplaced.

OPERATIONS OF GOMEZ

Spanish Government to Hurry Its
Acceptance of American Terms.

Washington, August 11.-If any one

The officials here have known that the
Spanish garrisons in Holquin and
some of the smaller towns on the
north coast and interior were in des-
perate straits for food and war sup
plies, and had suffered an enormous
percentage of loss from disease, and

Shafter been checked In their opera

DRINK CAUSED IT.
Frightful Crime Of q Drunken New
York Police Officer.

New York, Aug. 11.-Policeman
Henry c. Hawley. OF the Tenderloin
station. while in a fit Of drunken rage,
to-day shot his wife, his mother, Mary
Hawley, his son, four years cid and
his daughter, six years old. He then
shot himself in the head. He was
taken to BeHeview hospital, where he
died sooon afterwards. The others
were taken to the New York hospital,
where it was said that they would die.
The only explanation of the crime
was statement made by Hawley's
wife before she lost consciousness, to
the effect that drink has caused all
this"
When Hawley's mother momentar-
lily recovered consciousness at the hos
pital this afternoon she made state
ment in substnce as follows:
''My son, Henry c. Hawley, had been
drinking and appeared crazy. He shot
his wife first and then shot me. Then
he shot his two children and himself.
The shooting occurred at our home
about noon
Owen Gallagher, employed in shop
at the rear of the Hawley apartments,
saw a good part Of the tragedy.
Gallagher. with other workingmen,
had their attention attracted by hear
ing Hawley quarreling with his wife.
The policeman was sitting in chair
at the rear window. He held a revolt
yer in his hand and was looking at
its barrel.
Gallagher heard Hawley curse his
wife, telling her "to get out of this"
Then the policeman's mother came up
and tried to get the revolver away
from him.
The old lady put her arms around
her sons neck and endeavored to take
the revolver away from him. He
showed her off and then the shooting
began.
Gallagher saw the policeman stand
up and aim the pistol directly at the
two little children. ''He shot them
down like dogs" he said.
AS the mother was putting her arms
around Hawley's neck, he was heard
to be repeating this sentence:
'I'll fix them all"

WANDA AT HOME.
Associated Press Despatch Boat Ar
rives in New York, After Eventful
Service.

New York, August 1.-THE steam
yacht Wanda, Captain Miller, which
has been in the service Of the Associ-
ated Press for nearly four months as
a dispatch boat, accompanying the
American feet and army in West In
dian waters, arrived here from Porto
Rico this morning, having touched
at Nassau en- route, and having cover
ed the distance Of about 1900 knots
in six days, under easy steam. On
board were Col Charles Diehl, as
sistant general manager; Mr.. E. R..
tombstone and Mr.. n. C. Wright, staff
correspondents. The Wanda has
steamed more than $1,000 knots in
carrying news to the cable stations in
Jamaica, Hayti and st. Thomas, since
leaving New York on May g. The
yacht witnessed the memorable bonn
bardment OF the defenses outside Of
Santiago, was present at the landing
of the troops at Daiquiri and Siboney;
witnessed the destruction of Ger
vera's fleet, having on that occasion
taken on board eleven surviving Off
GERS and men Of the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Pluton, and was pres
ent at the landing or the American
troops at Ponce, in Porto Rico. Now
that cable communication has been re-
stored in Eastern Cuba and Southern
Porto Rico, the necessity for dispatch
beats has ceased, for time at least.

three postponements. necessitated by the
elements, Jimmie Michael the little Welsh
champion, and Fred Titus of New York,
met tonight at the Coliseum in their
fifteen mile paced bicycle race. Michael
won easily by about 100 yards. 1t was the
general impression from the start that
Michael would win, but early in the con-
test the sympathy of the 1900 spectators
went almost unanimously to the New
York boy. While the latter was paced
badly, he rode hard and made several
strong bids for the race. On several oc-
casions his pace makers lost him entirely
and Titus was compelled to take hold
behind his opponents workers. On the
other hand Michael's men were as smooth
and even as clock work Michael had the
advantage also of having a triplet among
his PAGERS, while Titus depended entirely
upon tandems. Time, 2S:4S1-5. The fast
