WHO LED THE SEvENTTENTH
OHIO AT Ell CANEY
WEAKENED. BY HIS WOUNDS
Excitment Attendant Upon Welcome
to His Men Caused Stroke Of
Apoplexy
Associated Press Special Wire.

ASSOCluteQ IesS 0pcCidl WIRE
COLUMBUS, O.. Sept. 16.-Brigadier Gen
eral Joseph T. Haskell died suddenly at his
home at the Columbus post about 4:30 this
afternoon. He was stricken with apoplexy,
the excitement through which he passed
during the day being the immediate cause
Of the attack.
General Haskell commanded the Seven
teenth infantry at the battle of FL Caney
and was twice wounded, in the left Shout
der and knee. He came home about a
month ago and was rapidly recovering. The
wound in his shoulder, however, had par
alyzed his left arm, which he carried in a
sling. This morning the Seventeenth reg
iment returned home and General Haskell
went to the depot in carriage to welcome
his gallant men. He rode at the head Of
the regiment through the city. and the
cheers of the people were directed almost
as much TO his individuality as to the regi-
ment. At the reviewing stand the crowd
surrounded the carriage and flowers were
fairly showered into the vehicle from ev-
cry side. Although not as strong as for
merly, General Haskell appeared rugged,
and his sudden death was a terrible shock
to his family and friends.
At 4:30 this afternoon Captain Clay called
at General Haskelps residence to pay his
respects. The general was resting at the
time, but came down stairs. They had
been engaged in conversation about five
minutes when General Haskell suddenly
started 10 his feet, clasping his hands to
his heart then fell to the floor. The only
exclamation he made was ooh! oh!'.
Captain Clay sprang to his assistance and
was surprised to find that his pulse had
ceased to beat. Post Surgeon Pitcher was
summoned and stated that death was
caused by apoplexy.
Mrs. Haskell was Frustrated by her hus-
bands death. Besides the widow two sons
survive.

More outrages
| SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Sept. 49,
More depredations are reported to have oc-
CURED in the neiEhborhood OF Utado. Sew
eral Spanish hac.endas and cafetetas have
been burned and two Spanish planters were
killed. These outrages are attributed to the
hover classes of the natives, actuated by
a spirit of revenge, and a lawless gang of
bri gands which has been operating near
Cia.le.
The Spanish planters fear for their lives
and are extremely anxious that the Amer
,cans hould obtain control In order 20 afr
ford pr otection, as the United states is
powerless now to preserve order in places
within the Spanish lines.
Upon pesition of practically all Of the res

After the details of the evacuation have
been completed the movable property and
military equipments which the Spaniards

so. will be inventoried separately.
The commission may arrange to purchase
such equipment as it desires to retain. This
will include field guns and quantity OF
coal which was shipped here for Admiral
Cervera's fleet.
Two hundred and, fifty members OF the
sixth Massachusetts, regiment are sick and
the men are anxious TO return home.
The details of the evacuation of the island
were practically completed at meeting
of the commission held today, and now all

shall place transports al the disposal OF
Captain General Macjas for the emparka-
