Retribution Follows a Crime.

George Bowman of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
was murdered near Dawson, Alaska, last
winter during a terrible snowstorm by a
companion named johnson of Springfield,
Mass. He was almost in sight of the
golden Mecca when his strength failed
him and he sank down in the soft snow.
Johnson, who was the leader of the party,
went back to him, and, with an oath, blew
out the unfortunate mans brains with a
revolver. This is the terrible story that
is told for the first time by j. 9. Sachs,
who has just returned to Seattle. Ills
partner, Edward Z. Calhoun of 4onkers,
n. Y, witnessed the terrible deed, which
was committed near their cabin, a short
distance from Dawson. Calhoun, too,
nearly lost his life from a bullet from
Johnson's revolver. Nothing was ever
heard of Johnson. It is presumed he per-
ished in the snowstorm while trying to es-
cane.

NO PLACE FOR TROOPS
HAWAII OFFERS NO GOOD CAMP
ING GROUNDS.
So Asserts Major General Merriam Ga
His Return-Americans should be
Withdrawn as Quickly as Possible
Vitality Slapped by Heat.

Mai. Cen. II, G. Merriam returned from
Honolulu on the steamer Australia. ne
said there was no suitable camping
ground in any Of the HaWaIlan lslahus'
at is hard to believe" he continued
s'that good camping grounds cannot De
found in the islands. Had anybody mace
that declaration to me before the trip l
would have thought him prejudiced. There
is absolutely no place wherein woulu
be safe to place American troops. Lever
ground is very unsanitary, and 1t IS I'M
possible to locate a camp on the upper
ground. That practically covers my IN
vestigations in a sentence. The FIRST ne"
York regiment is encamped four miles
from Honolulu proper, at point caAeo
Diamond Head. The camp is worse than
any we have had here. Although lumber
is at hand to begin the erection OF par
racks. there has not been any work done,
for the reason that a good location has
not been secured. The engineers and
New Workers are in tents, and that, too,
at a most disagreeahle season of the year.
The rainy season is just commencing, and
will certainly cause hardsh4j rs for the un-
seasoned troops.
"The weather on the islands was very
depressing, and l was compelled to lie
down each afternoon to rest because OF
the terrible heat I think the troops
should be kept on the islands as short
time as possible, as the weather draws
the vitality from the men. The sugges-
ton offered some time ago about sending
all the troops to the islands and making
them base of supplies for the Philip
pines is preposterous. There would be a
larger mortality than in all the camps in
the United States put together. l be-
lieve that only short STOP if any, will
be made by the troops of the next expedi-
ton to the Philippines"

Williamsburg Man Murdered and His
Wife Seriously Inju


Andrew Cassagne was strangled to
death by three men in the tenement in
Williamsburg which he occupied with his
wife. According to the story told to the
police by Mrs. Cassagne, she had left the
room for few minutes. Returning she
found her husband dead on the floor be-
side the bed, while three men stood over
him. She ran to her husbands side, but
was grasped by two of the men, who
choked her nearly to insensibility, while
the third man searched the room, finding
$500 under the mattress Of the bed. Mean
while Mrs. Cassagne had contrived to
reach the door opening into the hall, and
kicked upon it to call for help. Her as
sailants relaxed their grasp upon her
throat and she was able to scream, which
she did just as the three fed from the
tenement with the money. There were
dark blue marks upon Mrs. Cassagne's
neck, bearing out the story Of the assault
upon her.

GERMANY AND PHILIPPINES.

Representatives of Kaiser Say Re1a-
tions with America Are Friendly.
The foreign Office at Berlin has been in
terviewed regarding the Washington ca
blegram saying that the five regiments
to be sent to Manila were needed to watch
German manipulations there. The an
swer was emphatic. Such manipulations,
it is declared, exist only in the ina gina
ton Of Admiral Dewey. AS officially re-
ported, the conduct of Vice-Admiral
Diederichs throughout has been loyal to
both belligerents. Since that report was
received nothing his happened to disturb
harmonious relations between Americans
and Germans in the Philippines. Assur-
eddy, it is further declared, the German
Government plans no trickery and intends
no disloyalty there, and of that the Wash
ington Government doubtless is fully
aware, else Dr. Won Helleben, the Ger
man ambassador at Washington, would
not have been granted leave of absence.

Breaking Guy Line Has Serious Re-
suits at Neville Island.

Five men were injured at the new Gov
eminent dam at Neville Island, near
Coraopolis, Pa, by the breaking of large
travelling crane. The accident was caus-
ed by the breaking Of a steel guy line of
the crane, which precipitated a large der
rick from sixty feet above the crane to
the ground. In it's descent the derrick
tore away the supports Of the crane, which
crashed down upon the workmen. A huge
block of stone which was being raised
when the guy line broke fell a distance of
forty-fve feet among group of workmen,
but fortunately the men ran for their lives
and all but five escaped injury.
