The Weeks Work

PARIS, Oct. 15.-The American and
Spanish peace commissioners closed their
first two weeks labor here this evening and
the progress made has been chiefly by neg
ative action and the attitude of the Amer
leans.
The first article of the protocol provided
that Spain will relinquish all claims of
sovereignty over and title to Cuba" Ma
turally the Joint sessions We're devoted to
the Cuban article. Naturally, too, the
Americans opened their case by the as
sumption that little or no action was neces-
gary regarding Cuba on tho ground that
its disposition was definitely fixed by the
terms of the protocol. Notwithstanding at
the meeting last Thursday the Spaniards
submitted suggestions amounting to hold
ing that the United States should take over
all or part of the Cuban debt. After read

DEAD CHINAMEN
The Verdict Is Suicide But the Facts
Are in Doubt


Are in Doubt
OAKLAND, Oct. 15.-Murder and sui
eide has wiped out within three months
a firm of Chinese merchants at Pleas
anton. The inquest upon the last VIC
tim, Jung Jheung, was held today, jury
finding a verdict of suicide.
There was suspicion that an attempt
had been made to stab the Mongol while
he was dying from opium poisoning. He
was slashed across the abdomen with
knife while DR.. Hirschheiser was in
another room making ready 10 attend
the poisoned merchant. The doctor
testified that there were several Chinese
with the dying man, and suddenly there
was great commotion. a Chinese
rushed out with knife. dripping with
blood, in his hand, exclaiming that the
patient had used 1t upon himself. The
wound was superficial. There was no
way to fix the possibility of determining
that murderous attack had been made.
Three months ago Jung Sing and
Wong Wah Sing, members OF the firm,
quarreled, and Jung was hacked to
death with an axe welded by Wong, who
was taken to the county Jail, where he
committed suicide by eating a large
quantity of opium which had been snug
