GRAVE SITUATION.
United States and Mexico May B<
Without Extradition Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Unless the
unexpected happens, the United States
and Mexico will be without an extra
dition treaty ON the 18th of next
month. The situation promises to be
one of gravity, and the Mexican bor-
der is likely to be a paradise for fugi-
tives from justice and criminals of ev-
cry description until new treaty can
be agreed upon.
Mexico denounced the existing treaty
because our Government refused to de-
liver up on extradition proceedings GER
tain Mexicans who had escaped across
the line and We're accused by their own
Government of various offenses of a
criminal character, but who, it IS as
serted, were really wanted for political
reasons. The case of Guerra, who was
involved in one of the periodical raids
across the border of New Mexico, or
ganized by the leader Cara, caused
the break.
Mr.. Clayton, United States Minister
to Mexico, is endeavoring to make a
new treaty, but with the serious differ
ence in principle between the two gov
ernmentS as to whether a case like
Garza's is political or revolutionary or
the act Of a brigand, his task will be
difficult

MURDERED AND CREMATED.
Mysterious Disappearance of a Wo-
man Cleared Up.

HOT SPRINGS (Ark.), Dec. IA
Gradually the mystery surrounding the
disappearance from this city several
weeks ago of Mrs. Nellie J. Horn, a
beautiful young woman, who was vis-
iting the health resort, and who the
authorities believe was murdered by
young Hardy Sheffield and robbed Of
her money, is being cleared up. Hardy
Sheffield is in jail charged with mur-
der.
The Sheriff returned to the city to-
day from the home of Sheffield's BROTH
er, in this county, where 1t was report
ed that the body of Mrs. Horne had
been found. He brought a sack con-
tanning grewsome evidence that hui
man body had been cremated piece by
piece in Sheffield's house. The sack
contained human bones, ashes and
other articles recovered from the fire
place in Sheffield's house. Experts are
at work making a scientific examina-
tion of these CHASTITY relics, and it is
already established that the bones are
those Of a human being.
Sheffield's brother, in whose house
the crime is supposed to have been
committed, was brought TO Hot
Springs by Sheriff Williams and placed
in jail, as were also several others who
are charged with being accessories to
the crime. Some startling develop-
ments are expected

General Wood Prevents a Duel at
Santiago.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. A.
General Wood, Military Governor of
the Department of Santiago, stopped d
duel to-day that had been arranged
between Senor Trujillo, editor of I'll
Porvenir," and Senor Colono, editor
of Cuba Libre.'
An article recently appeared in
Independence" abusing Senior Tru-
jillo, charging him with being a
swindler, and accusing him of numer-
GUS crimes. Senior Trujillo attributed
it's authorship to Senior Colono, and
sent the latter a challenge.
Under the conditions agreed upon,
the duel was to have been fought this
afternoon on San Juan Hill. The con-
testaffts were to use six-shoOters, be-
ginning at twenty PAGES and walking
toward each other, firing at will. If
neither should be injured by the 9TH
ers six shots, the antagonists were to
reload and start again.
Chief of Gendarmerie Valient re-
ported the matter to General Wood,
who promptly arrested both men and
confined. them in their own houses un-
der guard.
To-day the stevedores went on strike
for higher wages. They have been get
ting $1.25 a day, and demand S1.S0.
General Wood ordered them to return
to work at once, threatening that if
they did not he would import Jamaican
negroes to take their places.
This morning the members of the
Supreme Court called on General
Wood to congratulate him upon his
nomination as a Major General.
Senor Tamanao of the court has re-
signed his Judgeship, in order to ac-
cept the post of Departmental Attor-
ney. His private practice is the larg-
est in Santiago, and the Judgeship in
terfered with it.

WAR INVESTIGATION.
CHAPLAIN KELLEY BEFORE
THE COMMISSION.
Testities as to the Conditions al
Camp Alger-Plenty of Food
But Hard to Get.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Rev. Fa-
ther Kelley, Chaplain Of the Sixth Vol
unteer Illinois Infantry, in testifying
before the War Investigating Commits
sion to-day as to the conditions at
Camp Alger, said that the food in
quality and quantity, so far as he
knew, was good, but there was diffi-
Guilty in getting at it. No one seemed
able to get medical supplies. He
thought the men from the city made
the best soldiers, being accustomed to
irregular hours. His only real objec-
ton to the camp was its proximity to
large towns, to which the men could
sneak off and get full 1t seemed to
him that the sanitary condition of
camps generally depended on the care
given by the officers to the men. for
the men were nothing but grown chill
dren."
DR.. Benjamin F. Pope, who was
Chief Surgeon in the Shafter expedi-
tion to Cuba and in charge of the
camp at Tampa early in it's occupan-
cy, said surgical dressing materials
enough to care for 5000 wounded men
were taken aboard the transports. The
supplies of drugs, however, did not
and he telegraphed to the Surgeon
General for a full supply. A part of
those sent out succeeded in reaching
him.
He ascribed the woes of the Medical
Department in that expedition to the
wholesale abandonment of the regi-
mental outfits of medicines and stores
by the regiments. He did not know
foy
ceded it was hardly likely that so
sweeping an abandonment would have
been made save on orders from Major
General Shafter, who commanded. He
admitted that some seriously wounded
were loaded in heavy, jolting army
wagons, and that this aggravated the
sufferings, but he only knew of one in
stance in which death might be as
cribed to such transportation
The travel ration, DR.. Pope said. was
hard fare for even well man, and
only under a skillful cook could it be
made proper food for a convalescent.
There was no money on hand to pur.
chase food. and he had ordered it to
be purchased and put aboard the
transports. He believed this had been
done.

him great trouble and uneasiness.
When the Relief arrived she was sup
posed to have 700 tons of supplies on
board, but though she was unloaded
on the 10th or 10Th the drugs ran out
again about July 10th.
DIR. Connor remarked that the short
age of drugs seemed to be chronic ev-
erywhere except at Montauk
General Dodge said: Please state
how you--were supported in your ad-
ministration by the commanding Cen
eral.'
II think" said DR.. Pope, that the
commanding General always listened
to my views, and gave me every sup
port military conditions would permit.
He promulgated the orders and sani-
tary regulations I suggested, and / do
not know of any instance where he
failed to support me-"

VANCOUVER B. c., Dec. 14.-Chin-
ese papers assert that 1000 men are to
be handed over to Lord Charles Beres-
ford to organize as the nucleus Of the
Chinese army of the future.
Hongkong papers declare that reports
published of the existence of a secret
treaty between the Russian and Chinese
Governments are perfectly true. 1t is
stated that large force under Russian
officers is to be ordered to Shan Hal

The secret treaty existing between
Russia and China is reported to be as

an emergency. In such case the COM
mand of the army and navy shall re-
main in the hands of Russian officers.

proper pecuniary compensation to
the Russian army and navy when their
services are required. The commander

Port Arthur shall hold himself at the
orders of the Chinese Government, and
he may be called upon to render assist
ance at any time

tween the japanese and Chinese Gov

permission of the Minister'S home Gov
ernment. 1t is reported that the let
