SISTERS OF THE EMPRESS.
They Were Residents of Paris and
Beloved By the People.

London, Sept. IA special dispatch to
the Sunday Times from Paris says;
THE assassination of the Empress Eliz-
abeth of Austria has created an immense
sensation in the French capital where the
sympathy of the people is all the greater
because it is remembered that her sisters.
the Duchess dAlencOn, persisted in the
terrible Charity Bazaar fire last year.
Her other sister. the former queen OF
Naples has resided in Paris since the
death of her husband and the murdered
empress was a frequent visitor here and

crowds gathered near the Austrian en-
bassy soon after the sad news begun to
spread through the city"

CONVENTIONS OPENS.


The routine proceedings of the con-
vention are as follows:
! At the opening of the convention the
! secretary read the announcement of
/ the vote Of the last night, which was
published in The Herald. AS soon as
/ this was completed Hon. Gustave
Kroeger arose and said that it was
apparent to all that unless a change
was made in the manner of returning
the vote, the convention would never
get through. He moved that the diff
ferent city wards and the country pre-
cincts consolidate their votes and then
hand the same to the secretary.
Hon. F. S. Richards moved as an
amendment that the lists of districts
be handed the secretary for cOmpila-
ton.
Judge Powers raised the point of no
quorum. The chair sustained the point
Of order.
The band entered at this point and
played Just Before the Battle, Mother

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.
As soon as order was restored Judge
Powers came to the platform on
question of personal privilege. He di-
rected the attention Of the delegates
to the fact that The Herald of yester-
day had charged him with working a
scheme to compass the defeat of Hon.
D. c. Dunbar for county clerk.
This is an error" said Judge Pow
ers, and one which, so far as 1 am
concerned, could have been corrected
by calling at my seat"
GAS for my sustaining the non-par-
tisan ticket, that is false. I voted for
Mr.. Dale and the Democratic ticket I
voted for none but Democratic nomi-
nees. Mr.. Piper ought not be made
to suffer by reason Of"
MOYLE RETIRES HIM.
Cries of point of order" We're heard
at this point and the chair interrupted
the speaker with the statement that
Judge Powers was out of order and
unless he desisted he would be COM
PEELED to order him to take his seat as
he was proceeding to work a lauda-
tory address in behalf of q candidate
Judge Powers disclaimed any inten-
ton of making a speech, but insisted
his Democracy had been called into
question.
The chair will vouch for the Dem
ocracy of Judge Powers" said Mr..
Noyle. as the speaker retired from
the platform.
The convention then adopted the
amendment as to the handing in of the

ASSASSIN SEIZED.

The medical examination shows that the
assassin must have used small tri-
angular file. After striking the blow he
ran along the Rue des Alpes. with the evil
dent intention of entering the Square Los
Alpes, but before reaching il he was
seized by two cabmen who had witnessed
the crime. They handed him over to
boatman and a gendarne, who conveyed
him to the police station
The prisoner made no resistance. He
even sang as he walked along. saying:
Il did it, and she must be dead"
At the police station he declared that
he was a Starving anarchist. with no
hatred for the poor. but only for the rich. "
Later. when taken TO the court house
and Intercepted by a magistrate in the,
presence of three members of the local
government and the police officials. he
pretended not to know French and re-
fused to answer questions. The police, on
searching him found a document showing
his name to be Luigi Luchini. born in
Paris in 1874 and an Italian soldier.
SEARCH INSTITUTED.
A great crowd quickly assembled around
the Hotel Beaurivage, where the officials
proceeded after interrOgating the prison
crime for the weapon and the accomplices
of the assassin
1t appears that boatman noticed three
persons close by following the empress,
who was making purchases in the shops.

The assassin told the magistrate that
he came TO Geneva in order 10 assassinate
another important person" but mad been
unable to execute the project. The reason
of his failure he did not give. but he de-
clared that il was only by accident he

HAVANA, Dec. 14.-About 8 a. m.,
when funeral procession, which was
escorting the hearse containing the re-
mains of Jesus Sotolongo, who was killed
in Sunday nights riot, reached the cor
ner of Infanta and San Jose streets, a
violent affray took place between the
members of the funeral party and some
employees of the military hospital The
following were wounded:
DR.. Betancourt, Cuban deputy for San
tiago.
Rafael Portuondo, Cuban deputy.
General Vidal Cuban.
Colonel Rivas, Cuban.
Francisco Lucas Blanco, Spaniard
Ramon Garcia, Spaniard.
Three women and two children
Garcia, who was stabbed, may die, and
Portuondo was badly hurt.
One version of the affray is that the
military hospital employees and num-
Der of Spanish privates who were stand
ing on the hospital portico refused to
remove their hats when requested to do
so. Thereupon the Cubans, it is al
legged, tried to knock off the hats and a
fight ensued. The privates fired on the
procession, the windows of the hearse
being broken and bullets striking the
coffin. Knives and pistols We're freely

GENERAL cAL1XTo GARCIA.


last week. On Tuesday night General
Garcia, in company with the other
members of the commission, attended a
dinner given in his honor by General
Miles, and it was result of the ex-
posure that night which eliminated in
his death. During the 12 hours or
more preceding dissolution, General
Garcia was unconscious most of the
time. At intervals he recognized one
or more of those about him. In his
dying moments, as all through his busy
and active life, his thoughts were for
his beloved country and its people, and
among his last words were irrational
mutterings, in which he gave orders to
his son, who is on his staff, for the bat
tie which he supposed was to occur to-
morrow and in which he understood
there were only 400 Spaniards to COM
bat Just before he died he embraced
his son. The remains were Immediately
prepared for burial and were placed on
bier III the room in which he died. A
large Cuban flag served as covering
and the head rested on one of smaller
dimensions
By direction of Major General Miles,
a detachment OF soldiers from battery
r, Sixth artillery, at the barracks here,
under command Of Lieutenant Cox, was
detailed as bodyguard for the remains.
AS soon as his death became known,
a number Of visitors, including many
public men, came to the hotel to express
their condolences. President Mckinley
manifested his sympathy by sending a

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Brook
lyn, Texas, Castine and Resolute have
been ordered to Havana. While there
is not the faintest desire to convey a
threat in the dispatch of these warships
to Havana, it may be noted that when
they lie within the harbor they will
hold the town in perfect subsection. It
is surmised that the suggestion came
from Admiral Sampson, who is now in
one of the suburbs of Havana, as a re-
suit of the unfortunate eruption at the
Hotel Inglaterra. At any rate the
event brought the authorities to a sud
den realization OF the exact state of af-
fairs in Havana and the imminent
danger of another such outbreak, which
perhaps might run into the proportions
of a riot and cost many innocent lives.
With only small force of American
soldiers in Havana province and those
removed at such distance from the
city as to make it difficult of access in
time to be Of service to the American
element in the city, now swollen to
large proportions by the advent of many
hundred commercial men and others
seeking opportunities for employment,
the necessity for some protection was
apparent. To increase the number of
soldiers materially is not easy, in view
of the difficulty of transporting them
as we'll as providing for them when they
reach Cuba, but the navy's motto now
is always ready, and it was decided to
hasten the ships named to Havana to
form formidable bulwark against any
anarchistic outbreaks that might occur
before the completion of the American
occupation of the city.

warrior and leader and the head of the
commission elected by the Cuban as

Sunday morning, shortly after 10
O'Clock, at the Hotel Raleigh, where the

change from the warm climate of Cuba,
with the hardships he had there en-
dured, to the wintry weather of New

for the pneumonia, which resulted in
his demise. He contracted slight cold
