sources. that the government knew yes

urday, after General Jsudemes had ta-
ken over the command from General
August, and that the latter had been
ordered 20 quit his post and to embark
on a foreign warshlp FOR Hong Kong.
Manila apparently capltulated be-
cause of lack Of food, the population
and garrison having suffered the great
est prlvations.
The cabinet has decided to order Cen
Blanco and ell other Spanish generals
in the Antilles to remain at their re-
spective posts until the evacuation is
completed. General Wesley Merritt 1t

cautions in order to prevent the insur-
gents from interfering with the capitu-

ment Of the Philippines.

AmW YORK TRAGEDY


That e Repeated EvoTy pAy-HoFribie
murder for Money.
NEW YORK, August 1s.-A woman
was murdered last night IN the Grand
Hotel. Thlrtv-arst street and Broad
way. Her body was found in q room
this morning. The head had been beat
en- in, apparently with piece of lead
pipe. The murdered woman was lden-
titled as Miss E. c. Reynolds, of this
city.
II appears that Miss Reynolds went
10 the hotel at 1880 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. In the registery she wrote:
'T1. Maxwell and wife" and room was
assigned to her. Between and 9 o'clock
she was seen walking through the DIM
ing room with man apparently about
thIrty-five years of age. The couple
left the hotel about o'clock, but the
time of their return is not known. Some
time after they had returnedN Il bottle
of wine was ordered to be sent to their
room.
At 945 this morning ehamoetmalo
found the woman lying dead on the
floor. The man was gone, By the body
of the woman lay a blood stained piece
OF lead pipe, sixteen inches long and
one and half inches thick. One end OF
the pipe had piece of cloth wrapped
around 1t as a handle. AS yet the police
have obtained no trace Of the man.
Miss Reynolds lived with her father,
Edward Reynolds, a contractor and
builder; her mother and sisters and
brother. When Mrs. Reynolds was In
formed of her daughters death, she
shrieked: "They have murdered my
child for her money" She afterwards
sald that her daughter had intended
visiting a dentist yesterday and had
gone to bank and drawn some money.
Mrs. Reynolds said her daughter had
drawn not less than $500. Miss Rey-
nolds, according to her mothers state
ment, was only twenty years OF 1ge.
Theodore Vail, chief OF police OF At
lanta, Ga, VINO arrived in this city yes
terdaV, occupied room adjoining that
Of the murdered woman. Chief Vail
says that before retiring last night ne
pinned $3.50 In bills under his pillow 70
the mattress. When he Rwoke this
morning the money was gone.
When the woman came to the hotel
she wore a handsome pair OF diamond
earrings supposed to have been worth
$3.50. These were missing when the
body was found and evidently had been
torn violently from the ears, In her
pocket only sixtV-three cents was
found.
An autopsy disclosed that the wo-
mans death had been caused by dis
location Of the spinal vertebrae. The
skull was not fractured as at first sup-
posed.
In another search of the clothing OF
the woman check on the Garfield Ma
tIonal bank for $4,000 was found, made
out to Emma Reynolds" and signed
by Dudley Johnson" Al the bank It
was said that the check was not good.
Nine dollars in bills was found under
the woman's corset One Of the dia-
mond earrings was found. but the
right ear showed that the other ear
ring had been roughly torn away.
