INSANITY AND DEATH
CAUSED BY FICKLENESS
North Dakota Volunteer Followed
From Cuba by Sweetheart,
Who Goes Mad, and Then
He Is Found Dead.
he Is Found Dead.

ST. LOUIS, Oct "A special to the
Republic from Deadwood, S. D., says: Al
bert Martin, a rancher living near the
Cheyenne River in Ziebeck County, en-
listed as a volunteer at the beginning of
the war and fought at the battle of Ell
Caney. After the battle he met Ramona
Perez, the daughter of an officer of Gar
cia's command, and they became sweet
hearts. Soon afterward he was attacked
by fever and sent home on sick leave. He
was engaged before his departure for the
war to the daughter of a neighboring
Ianchman and arranged to be married
while home on his leave of absence.
Meanwhile the Cuban girl had learned
of his illness and that he had gone home.
and she resolved to follow and nurse him.
Dressing in her brothers clothes she
crossed to Jamaica and secreted herself
on a fruit steamer bound for New Or
leans. Reaching there she tramped and
beat her way TO Hermosa, s. d. When
she arrived she learned OF her lovers ap-
preaching marriage and the shock drove
her insane. At the same time the Ameri-
can girl learned Of her lovers Irritation
and broke off the engagement. Martin
began drinking heavily and disappeared.
few days ago his body was found float
ing in the cheyenne River. Whether he
fell in while intoxicated or committed
suicide Is matter Of conjecture.

ELEVEN PERSONS ABOARD
UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCH MADE
FOR THE VESSEL.
It Is Supposed the Passengers Es-
capped, for Indians Tell of
Party Camped OF the
Beach.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Oct. 21.-Tappan Adney,
correspondent of Harper's Weekly,
who arrived here Wednesday from St.
Michael on the steamer Roanoke, brings
the news Of the probable loss of the
small steamer Abbie Rowe in Norton
Sound.
The steamer had on board eleven per
sons composing the Abbie Rowe party
of Boston. The party left st. Michael
September II for Chingik Mission, To-
Gated on Golofrim Bay, about eighty
five miles north Of st. Michael. Barring
accident they should have reached their
destination in three or four days
DR.. Brigham and wife. Mrs. Rowe.
Miss Blaine and another lady, members
of the party, considered the vessel in
capable Of weathering severe storm
and took passaPa on schooner which
left a few days before the steamer for
Chingik Mission, where they We're to
meet the remainder of the party. After
vainly waiting some time Captain VIII
liam S. Taylor. late engineer Of the rev.
enue cutter Bear, and NJ. +. Melsing.
formerly of San Francisco, began a
search for the missing steamer in the
yacht Edith. They followed the coast
to ST Michael without success.
Just before the Roanoke left st. Mi
chael, Adney says, party arrived from
the north WIN a story 10 the elLeCl
that the Indians had reported small
steamer wrecked, stating that they sf~w
a small crowd of men on the beach
around fire. 1t was generally believed
that this must have been the party
from the Abbie Rowe.
Adney also reported that while
searching for the missing vessel Cap
tain Taylor and Melsing picked up a
man in an open boat several miles at
sea The man had been without food
or water for several days and was Ster-
ling Martin of Chicago, who was left
adrift on a barge which was being
towed from st. Michael to Golofrim
Bay by the steamer Fortune Hunter
with a Chicago party on board. The
Fortune Hunter was caught in a storm
and was forced to cut loose the barge.
Several days afterward the Fortune
Hunter was picked up by the steamer
Tillamook in water-logged condition
An unsuccessful search was made for
Martin. After being cut loose from the
Fortune Hunter the barge foundered
and Martin put to sea in small boat.

EVACUATION DELAYED
BEYOND DATE FIXED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-It is now
certain that the complete evacuation of
Cuba will be delayed beyond the period
originally fixed by the administration.
This follows entirely without reference
to anything that has occurred in Paris
before the Peace Commission. The
War Department has about satisfied
itself that the task imposed upon the
Spanish authorities, namely, the re
moval and transportation to great
distance by sea of about 100000 SOL
diers, sick and well. with their accou-
terments, is beyond the ability of the
Spaniards.
Delay in the evacuation of Cuba will
cause a delay in the REIMBURSEMENT of
sovereignty by the Spaniards over the
entire island, which was set for De-
cember l. 1t is hardly deemed prudent
to undertake to assume charge Of the
municipal affairs Of Havana so long as
the city contains a strong garrison OF
Spanish troops, and it is felt that law
and order could be better maintained
in such centers by allowing them to re-
main under Spanish jurisdiction until
they are evacuated by the troops and
reoccupied by United States troops. 1t
is not to be understood from this that
the American Military Commissioners
are in any sense abating the pressure
they nave pIou6LI ~ 'Sei uPoii Tie
Spanish Military Commission to secure
the evacuation of the island and the
REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish sovereignty.
On the contrary, they have redoubled
their efforts to secure these objects, but
are not disposed to insist upon the per-
Torrance of impossible tasks, and their
demands will be largely shaped by their
knowledge that the Spaniards are act
ing in perfectly good faith in their ef-
forts to carry out the terms of the pro-
tocol.

PARIS. Oct. 21-English yellow jour
nalism is beginning to bear fruit here
There is no question that the relations
between England and France are be
coming very strained. This is simply
due to the clustering attitude of the
London papers over the Fashoda ques-
ton.
SO far the French press has been very
calm. Some little restiveness, however,
began to show itself a few days ago
lie Temps tonight has bitter comments
on Punch's cartoon, which shows
France as an organ grinder with mon
key on his barrel-organ, which is la
beled "Fashoda." John Bull is saying.
Go away" The organ-grinder replies,
What you give me?" Whereupon
John says: Nothing. But what will
give you if you don't?" This is not cal
culated to promote a pleasant under
standing.
Last night the Liberte asked if Eng
land really wished to provoke war. To-
night it dwells upon Sir Michael Hicks
Beach's speech and says: We cannot
and will not consent TO recall Mar
Chand. which would be purely and SIM
ply humiliation for the French flag
which he planted at Fashoda under eX-
press orders from his Government II
England persists IN maintaining her
indefensible demand We are as ready
10 run the risks of refusal as she IS TO
support the consequences of the atti-

1t would be mistake TO look upon
this as buster The Liberte only re-
fleets the firm determination Of the ma
ton. The people want peace, but not
at any price. The Liberties closing re-
mark is typical Of this sentiment. We
still believe" it says. that war be

q calamity for both nations. which have
so many reasons for wishing TO live in

cation. we have been and are ready to
make all possible sacrifices to maintain

tinents have limits. They are trying

MARCHAND'S REPORT
IGNORES KITCHENER

PARIS, Oct. 21.-Captain Baratier of
Major Marchands expedition, on hia
arrival at Cairo with his papers for the
French Government, said the mission
had not lost an officer or a soldier. He
added that the health of all the mem
bers Of the party was very good and
that revictualing on the march was
easy.
Major Marchand's report, telegraphed
from Cairo during the night, does not
mention the arrival at FaShOda of Gen
eral Kitchener, and only gives an &C
count of the incidents of the expedition,
with an elaborate description Of the
route followed, the places occupied, the
manner of occupation, the raising Of
the flag, the force left at each point
and the treaties of submission conclud-
ed with the tribes, in addition to
referring to an encounter with the Der
wishes.
1t is believed in certain quarters that
Captain Baratier is the bearer OF a
verbal report, which the French au-
thOrities were not willing to trust upon
the British telegraph lines.
The report only goes as far as the
beginning of September. and says that
on August 20 the supplies of the party
were abundant. The reason for the
omission Of any mention of the arrival
of General Kitchener at Fashoda is said
TO be the fact that the report of Major
Marchand was not ready when Captain
Baratier left FashOda. When the cap
tain started from that place he did
not think he would go beyond Khar-
toum.
Major Marchand, however deemed it
impracticable to send the finished por-
ton Of the report, intending to dispatch
the remainder of it as soon as Captain
T1aro+{ar returned RIt the paptaip on
arriving at Omdurman, found there in
structions telling him to go on TO Cairo,
from which place he VIII proceed to

Miss Russell denied the charge, and

separation which Signor Perugini gave

SAGASTA LOSES A
FAITHFUL COUNSELOR

don Bennett.
MADRID, Oct. 2L-Senor Moret has
become detached from Senior Sagasta,
whose faithful counselor he has been
In the peace negotiations. To-day it
was ostentatiously announced that
Senior Moret had left Madrid for his
country place. The cause of his de-
parture is political jealousies.
For some time the press has daily
commented upon the fact that Senior
Sagasta received communications from
Senior Montero Rios, and before he call
ed other Ministers he invariably re-
ceived a visit from Senior Moret.
The latest advices from Paris repre-
sent the discussions of the Commits
sioners as more cordial than in the first
days. To-day there is no longer talk
here of the Cuban debt as belonging to
Spain, but the discussion is over the
manner in which the United States will
guarantee it.

IN NEED OF BETTER SCHOOLS. Mission Road and Silver Heights

The residents of Mission road and Sil- yer Heights are of the opinion that they have been sadly neglected by the School Directors in not providing that sec ton of the city with school buildings cap- able of accommodating all the children who are anxious to participate in the benefit of public school education; and they go further and find fault with the board for the kind of temporary buildings provided to receive the overflow from the Munro Primary.
