WATCH HILL
FATALITY
discussed by the Medico-
Legal Society.
DEATH OF MISS FLYNN.
Doctor Morgan Satisfied That II Was
Due 10 Drowning.
RESPONSIBILITY OF scHooLEY.

The annual meeting of the Rhode
Island Medico-Legal society met in the
Office of DIR. William II. Palmer, No. 2S
Aborn street, yesterday afternoon. DIR.
Palmer occupying the chair. in the alb
sence of President Jay Perkins, and DIR.
George +. Allison, OF East Providence,
was chosen temporary secretary, until
the arrival of DR.. Alexander Marshall,
Jr. Coroner Eugene II. Lincoln met
with the medico-legal gentlemen, who
are all medical examiners from several
sections of the state.
The subject for discussion was "The
mystery OF sudden DEATH" and the
whole of the talk hinged upon the re-
cent Watch Hill tragedy, in which
Maria A. Flynn lost her life. and the
connection of Henry c. Schooley with
the affair. DR.. j. II. Morgan, the medi-
cal examiner who had charge of the
case, at the request OF DIR. Palmer,
spoke OF his reasons for believing that
the woman died by drowning, and thus
had conducted no autopsy.
He then gave a technical description
OF the appearance of the body OF the
girl, and Aaid that when sound her face
was pallid. her mouth drtpped froth,
about her lips and other portions OF her
body was goose flesh, ana blood had
settled on the surface, all strong indi-
cations of drowning. Her throat was
perfectly free from finger-marks, doing
away with any theory OF strangula-
ton, and her generai appearance, age
and occupation tended to show that Ii
was no case OF heart failure.
In answer to n question from DIR. Pal
iner as to whether Schooley was guilty
of causing her death. IL the woman
killed herself to preserve her virtue,
Coroner Lincoln held that, in his opin-
ion, Schoolcy wss the instrument that
caused the woman's mental distress
and, therefore. the result or such dis
tress, which in this case appears to
have been her death. The matter was
discussed at some length in general
way. after which the members of the
society partook OF dinner at the Hotel
Newman. as
At the conclusion OF the dinner the
following named officers were reelected
TO serve during the year ensuing: Presi-
dent, Jay Perkins: vice president. Chas.
French: secretary. Alexander Marshall.
Those who made up the gathering were
Drs. Alexander Marshall, Jr., William
III. Palmer. Gardner #. Swarts, Herbert
Terry. Nelson Reed Hare. OF Warren;
DR.. Harris, of Glocestcr: G. F.. Allison,
of East Providence; III. Wilcox, of King
ston, and Coroner Lincoln.

SURRENDER
OF MANILA

Madrid, Aug. 26.-The cabinet. at its
meeting today. examined the terms OF
the capitulation OF Manila as cabled by
Gen. Tejeiro. They appear to apply to
Manila only. According to Gen. Te-
jeiro's dispatch the question of the
repatriation of the Spanish troops is
left to the decision OF the American
government. K
The dispatches yesterday remarked
upon the fact that Gen. Jaudenes who
succeeded Gen. Augustin In the military
command OF Manila, had not sent dis
patch to the government. The latest
explanation OF this is that the dispatch
of Gen. Tejeiro really was sent by Gen.
Jaudenes. but that the latter forgot to
affix his signature.
