SURGEON DUNCAN IN
CUSTODY OF A SHERIFF
And Now There Is Prospect of a
Clash Between State and
Federal Authorities.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Captain Louis
c. Duncan, surgeon of the Twenty-second
Kansas Regiment. is held by the Sheriff
of Fairfax County, Virginia, to answer
an indictment charging him with desc
Grating Confederate graves at Bull Run,
near Manassas. 1t appears that Dr. Dun
can, whose case has now become famous,
was not sentenced to five years impris-
onment, as reported from Camp Meade,
Pa, but escaped much more lightly at the
hands of the military court, there being
lack of evidence to prove that he actu-
ally took part in despoiling the graves.
The finding of the court-martial, ap-
proved by General Davis, was that Sur
geon Duncan be deprived Of his rank for
two months, be confined to the regimental
camp and forfeit half his pay for the
same. length of time and that he be repri-
manded by the commanding general
1t is understood that when the Sheriff
presented his warrant for him under the
State indictment Duncan voluntarily sur
rendered. A clash between the State au-
thorities and the War Department may
develop. The case has not been brought
to the attention of Washington as yet.

MILITARY COMMISSIONERS
WILL TAKE CONTROL
Plans for the Government of Porto
Rico and Cuba Approved by
President Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The instruc-
tons to the Cuban and Porto Rican Mill
itary Commissions weree drawn up and
approved by the President before he left
Washington. and are now ready to be de-
nvered to the President of each before he
leaves.
The instructions will not be made pub
lie, but their general terms are known to
be the same as those sent to General
Shafter regarding. the government of
Santiago and to General Merritt regard
ing the Philippines. This will mean that
the Military Commissions will take con-
troll of Cuba and Porto Rico, the same
the Military Governor controls that
portion of Cuba surrendered to the Uni
ted States after the Santiago campaign.
The many minor details relative to the
evacuation of the islands are left to the
Commissioners. who will report any diff
ficulty or disputed points to Washington.
There has been doubt as to whether or
not the United States would take con-
troll of Cuba, but the instructions to the
Cuban Military Commission settle any
question regarding the island. and means
that, for the present at least, the United
States will assume the government and
control of the remainder of the island,
as has been the case at Santiago.

FAILURE OF HARvESTS
CAUSES GREAT DISTRESS
Prompt Relief Can Only Prevent
Widespread Suffering in Many
Districts of Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29-Owing to
the failure of the harvests in seven dis
tricts of the government of Kazan and
in the provinces of Samaria, Saratof ST.
birik, Viatke and Perma, where the crops
are almost worthless, even the landed gen
try are beginning to ask the Government
for relief, and the authorities are adopt
ing measures to aid the sufferers. Inc
distress. however, is becoming more acute
every day. The peasants are denuding
their cottages of thatch in order to feed
done cattle and horses are dying in great
numbers The Government officials are
very slow in getting the relief measures
been the granting of permission to the
peasants to gather faggots in the woods
for fuel and to collect dried leaves for
fodder The peasants are exhausted from
lack Of food, and unless the promised
SUPPLIES are speedily sent the suffering will
be terrible.

in the Army.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The fol-
lowing statement regarding the medical
corps of the army and the American
National Red Cross Society was given
out by Surgeon General Sternberg to-
day:
Owing to the pressure of my official
duties I have not heretofore felt justified
In taking the time to make an explanation
with reference to my attitude toward the
American National Red Cross Society.
1t has been repeatedly charged in the
newspapers that | am hostile TO this or
ganization and have refused to accept its
assistance in the care of our sick and
wounded soldiers and sailors and that as
a result of this refusal there has been I'M
necessary suffering. .
These charges are without foundation,
except in 50 far as have objecred 10
the sending of female nurses with troops
in the field engaged in active opera tons.
We have a Red Cross Hospital Cops
in the army of enlisted men, whose duty
1t is to render assistance to the wounded
upon the field of battle and to care fer
the sick in our division field hospitals, and
/ have been of the opinion that female
nurses would be an incumbrance to the

"KID" M'PARTLAND
GETS THE DECISION

NEW YORK, Aug. Skid MCFARLAND
of this city got a weil-earned decision
over Jack DAILY of Wilmington, Del, af-
ter fighting twenty-five clean rounds be-
fore the Greater New York Athletic Club
tonight. The last time these two. met
DAILY got the decision on a foul in the
seventh round at the Lenox Athletic
Club, and since that time Mcfarland
has always claimed that he had Daily
whipped then. He insisted that on their
next meeting he would demonstrate his
superiority over the Delaware man, and
he did this very effectively tonight.
Both men were in splendid form and
showed, when they stepped in the ring,
that they had trained carefully. The
bout was devoid of foul work and was one
of the cleanest and cleverest exhibitions
ever given under the Horton law. There
was little to choose between the men at
the end of the go. but as Mcfarland had
done more leading than his opponent. the
referees decision in his favor was fair.
Days friends lost a lot of money on
the result and few bets were made in
the early part of the fight at to l on
the Delaware man. At no stage of the
contest were these odds warranted. and
it was evident at the end of the twelfth
round that the fight would go to the
limit.

PURSUED FOR YEARS
BY AN UNKNOWN FOE
Three Attempts Made to End the
Life of Murdered Mrs.
Morca,r Con
MOrSe'S Son.

POINT ARENA, Aug 29-The sons of
Mrs. Morse, the aged victim of an I'M
known poisoner, have concluded to sell
their interests here and locate In San
Francisco. Fearing that his life is in
danger, LIE Grand Morse, who narrowly
escaped sharing the fate of his mother,
has determined to shake the dust of this
town from his feet, hoping that in San
Francisco he will be safe from the enemy
who has pursued him for years, and who
he thinks, caused the death of his devoted
parent.
Three attempts have already been made
on his life. Who his pursuer is Morse is
at loss to know. He does not suspect
ANYBODY. Some years ago Morse was in
strumental in sending a criminal TO San
Quentin Before being taken to the peni-
tertiary the prisoner swore vengeance
against Morse. The man was released
about year ago, and was last heard of
In oregon. Morse, shortly after the muir
der of his mother. thought the ex-convict
mad planned the crime, and so notified the
detective who is working on the case In
shows that he had nothing to do with the
murder as he went to Oregon Immediate
~ after being released from San Quentin
and has been there ever since.
Many of the residents regret that they
did not seize a letter which Mrs. Spauld-
ing sent to Texas the day following the
murder of Mrs. Morse. Mrs. Spaulding
quietly left the house in which she lives
and hurriedly walked to the postoffice.
On the way she dropped two letters-one
addressed TO her daughter in FL Paso,
Texas, and the other to the Postmaster
of that city. They were picked up by
citizen, who sent them to the inspector at
San Francisco, asking him in the name or
justice to open them. The inspector opened
the letter addressed to Mrs. Spaulding's
daughter, who is the divorced wife of LIE
Grand Morse but refused to open the one
addressed to the Postmaster. Many per-
sons here now believe that in the envelope
which was addressed to the Postmaster
of Eel Paso was a sealed letter which the
writer asked TO be delivered to her daugh-
ter.
LIE Grand Morse to-day made known
the fact that his life is insured for $4,000,
his daughter, George, being named as
beneficiary The policy was taken out
about fourteen years ago, when his
daughter was mere girl. George is the
wife of Downs, the blacksmith, whose
name has been prominently mentioned in
connection with the murder of Mrs.
Morse.

SLEPT ON THE TRACK.
Intoxicated Youth Horribly Mutilat-
ed nv a Train Near Acampo.

LODI, Aug. pa young mans thought
Iessness caused his death at Acampo, two
miles north of here, at $40 last night.
Syloan Denehy. aged 49, was run over by
freight train No LOG and his body horri-
bly, mutilated. The remains were found
scattered along the track for over a hun
dred yards. The supposition is that the
victim went to sleep on the rails. The
engineer did not see him until too late
to stop, and the whole train passed over
the body.
Denehy and young friend visited Lodi
earlier in the evening, and when they
left town both were intoxicated. The
station agent at Acampo tried to per-
suade Denehy to go to bed shortly before
he met his awful end. but to no avail.
The deceased was well connected, his
father owning q large mercantile and
warehouse business. The burial took
place to-day and the inquest will be held
tomorrow, when the trains crew can be
present to testify.
