SUICIDE THEORY
 IS SCOUTED 
Physicians Think That HOff- mans Wounds Were Not
 Inflicted.
Almost Entire Unaninlity in the Med- ical Testimony Adduced at the
 Figel Trial.

The jury listening to the testimony given before Judge Carroll Cook in the Figel case underwent a severe mental strain yesterday. This is accounted for by the fact that medical testimony, with it's surroundings of peculiar sounding phrases and technicalities, Dr. Gallagher, autopsy physician, Coro- ner Hawkins and the expert testimony of pr. s. S. Kahn.
 Policeman George W. Russell was the first witness examined during the day. He explained the drawings he had prepared of the scene of the shoot ing, told of the blood stains on the car pet, door and furniture, and identified the door as the one he had cut out of the room in which the telephone had been stationed.
 Dr. John Gallagher autopsy physi- clan at the Morgue, was then called He testified that he had made post mortem examination of the merchants body at the Morgue in the presence of Chief of Police Lees, Dr. Hawkins and other physicians.
 Judge Murphy posed as an exhibit while the doctor pointed out the loca- ton of the wounds or the correspond ing points to those through which the bullets crashed into Isaac Hoffman S head.
 The witness said that it would be possible for a right-handed man to have inflicted the wounds upon himself, but that it was highly improbable. In cross examination the witness stated that he was not at the Receiving Hos pital at the time Isaac Hoffman was taken there and treated by the attend ing physicians.
 Dr. Kahn'S testimony bore out the statements made at the preliminary examination. l. is evident all the tes- tifying physicians are of the opinion that Isaac Hoffman was assassinated.
 The afternoon session opened with an interested Chinaman in the gallery and Coroner Hawkins on the witness stand Dr. Hawkins testified as to all of the experiments tried by him with a revolver loaded with blank cart ridges on a caaaver in the Morgue. The witness testified that the brain matter was injured and that the in- jury in the mouth produced profuse bleeding. The opinion was oiven th II it was possible for the decease mer- chant to have fired all the shots, but that 1t was not probable. The testi mony throughout bore out the state ments made by pr. Gallagh 1T during the morning. In cross-examination the witness stated that he had not been at the Receiving Hospital at the time the injured man was taken there for treatment, and that his testimony was given on facts witnessed at the Morgue.
 Dr. Morgan's testimony was in sub- stance the same as that given by the other physicians. and he also stated that his testimony was given merely from what he had seen at the Morgue at the time of the post-mortem exam ination. Officer J. G. Maloney was called to testify as to the whereabouts of his brother. who had testified be- fore, but he was in ignorance concern ing the matter.

SCHLEY'S ULTlMATUM.
Spain's Porto Rico Commissioners
Trying to Delay Matters.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Sept. g.
The Spanish evacuation commissioners seem
disposed to delay the meeting of the COM
missions. They say their instructions have
not yet arrived. but are expected on the
Alfonso XIII in the course of few days
They intimate that eve1 then they will need
time to study them. The American COM
missioners have replied that the first meet
ing must occur before Sept. IL. under the
terms of the protocol. The United States
cruiser Cincinnati, Captain Chester, arrived
this morning from st. Thomas and saluted
the Spanish flag and Rear Admiral Schley's
pennant TIE Spanish forts and war ships
replied. To-day being holiday, the city
was covered with Spanish flags, and all the
shops and banks were closed. Military mass
was celebrated in the Catholic churches.

DARK TRAGEDY In OHIO.
Squire Boyd and Daughter Found
Brutally Murdered.

CAMBRIDGE, o., Sept. S.-'Squire Boyd
and daughter, Mrs. j. L. Wyrick, residing
three miles east of here, were found brutal
ly murdered to-day. The body of Squire
Boyd was lying on the floor clad only in
his night clothes, with scalp wound made
by bullet about eight inches long and
passing over the top of his head. His face
and forehead had been terribly mutilated
by Some blunt instrument. There was evil
dence that struggle had taken place. The
body of Mrs. Wyrick was found in door,
way leading to her fathers room, clad in
her night clothes. She had bullet wound
through the breast Powder marks showed
that the pistol had been placed against her
breast.
Orin Law, son-in-law of Mr.. Boyd, was
found in another room unconscious. There
were no wounds or marks on his person.
Suspicion points strongly against Law and
he was arrested. Laws wife died about
three weeks ago and it is known that there
has been trouble between him and the mur-
dered man. Yesterday they had a quarrel
Law remained unconscious until about 6
o'clock this evening. He would not talk of
the affair.

ESTERHAZY NOT DEAD.
His Mysterious Movements Cause the
Publication OF Suicide Report.

PARIS, Sept. S-There is NO foundation
for the report circulated in the United
States that Major Comte Ferdinand Walsin
Esterhazy, whose alleged authorship of the
bordereau in the Dreyfus case is now being
considered by q special military commits
sion of inquiry, has committed suicide The
only authority for the suicide story is La
France. which asserts that the police have
confirmed the report. 1t is impossible as
yet to ascertain positively, but the best
sources of information discredit the rumor
There is however. considerable mystery
about Esterhazys movements. He is
variously reported as at London. Ostend
and other points The net is closing around
him.
Some of the papers are publishing circum-
stantial details of a confession he made in
the presence of witnesses, that he was the
author of the memorandum on which Drey-
fus was condemned, the borderaux.
Well-founded rumors are current that the
late Colonel Henry revealed the names of
his accomplices in the forgery. 1t is also
asserted that both the embassies concerned
have given renewed assurances that all the
alleged letters and documents in the Drey-
fus dossier are clumsy forgeries.
In any event Esterhazy is risking arrest
by evading a summons to wait upon the po-
lice conmissary, who is investigating Prince
Christian Esterhazys charge of embezzle-
ment.
Maitre Labon's request for the temporary
release of Colonel Picquart will probably
be granted tomorrow.

successful termination of the war and his
pleasure at once more being home, General
Miles said he had nothing to say at this
time in addition to the statement given to
the press by him in New York. From the
Pennsylvania station General and Mrs.
Miles were conveyed directly to their resi-
dence.
General Miles was asked to-day what he
thought Of the published reports that it is
believed in Washington circles that the
present public discussion of army affairs
will be dropped after his expected inter-
view with President Mckinley. He said:
Il decline to be led into a discussion Of the
matter. 1 shall Immediately enter the
tread-mill,' meaning my official duties. 1
shall call at the War Department first and
pay my respects and then shall go at once
to the Presidents mansion to pay my re-
spects to President Mckinley"
Before General Miles left his hotel in Jer-
sey City to-day his attention was called to
statements from Washington as to the pos
sibility of his removal frcm the high COM
mand he holds. He held up his hands and
said, good naturedly: Now. 1 am not going
to say word on that subject. ] said all l
made yesterday. You really must not ask
me for any more
General Miles did not leave his home dur
Ing the evening. 1t was expected that he
would call at the White House but he said
that he had no intention of doing so to-
night. He will resume his duties at the
headquarters of the army in the War De-
partment tomorrow morning, and will
avail himself of an early opportunity 10
pay his respects to the President
The tension over General Niless criti-
cism of army methods is gradually subsid-
ing, and in high official quarters the belief
was expressed tonight that no official at
tention would be paid to the criticisms. In
view of much loose conjecture over the
imminence of a court-martial or court Of
inquiry for the trial Of General Miles it
can be stated positively that those in au-
thority have not up to the present time de-
termined on any such course of action, nor
have they felt that such steps would be
conducive to the best interests of the pub
lie service. In some high official quarters
there is disposition to look upon General
Miles as being his own worst enemy and to
pass over his comments i'll advised
though not to the extent of constituting
insubordination or warranting official action
by the President or War Department

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Ex-Senator
Manders0n, of Nebraska, reached Washing
ton this evening and made his way quietly
to the White House, remaining with the
President two hours. Ee came here by in
vitation and it is believed has accepted the
tender of place in the peace commission.
Senator Manderson's name was under con-
sideration for a peace commissiopership at
the beginning, but he was passed over for
Senator Allison. The President now returns
to his old friend. Mr.. Manderson was sena-
tor from Nebraska for twelve years from
1888 to 1895. He was one of the leaders in
the Senate and had well-earned reputation
for conservatism and political sagacity. The
President, having experienced great difficult
ty in finding a Democrat of national repu-
tation to serve on the commission, evidently
concluded to abandon the search for that
sort of material and to make the commission
soidly Republican. Ex-senator Manderson
is sixty-one years old, lives in Omaha and
enjoys a very lucrative professional prac-
tice, being general counsel for several West
ern railroads, also number of rich cattle
companies and other corporations. He was
a dark horse among the candidates for
President at two or three national conven-
tions. He had charge of the Allison boom
at st. Louis.
Before General Manderson left the White
House this evening General Draper, min
lister to Rome, dropped in also by in
vitation. This call set tongues wagging
afresh in a new direction and at last ac-
counts the slate makers had entirely recast
the schedule. They had Ambassador Porter
transferred and promoted from Paris to
London, Draper moved from Rome to Paris
and Senator Mcmillan appointed minister to
Rome. Manderson was held in the air with
a possibility that the President might have
him in view for the Court of St. James in<
stead of a peace commissionership as first
mentioned The diplomatic chess board is
full of interesting prospects at the moment

Sink Their Arms in the Harbor.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-No official in
formation has been received at the War
Department concerning the reports that the
Spaniards are throwing their arms into the
harbor at San Juan, Porto Rico. although
it would not be unexpected. 1t is said that
until the commissions report or come to
some agreement regarding the arms in
Porto Rico and in the hands of the Spanish
outside of Santiago. Cuba, the United
States has no authority over them. From
what the ordnance officers have heard of
the Spanish arms they are not very anxious
to have them introduced into the United
States and will not regret their loss on
that score. The arms captured at Santiago
are being sent to the United States, the
Ordnance Bureau being informed Of sew
eral shipments

MILES'S TURN COMES TO-DAY
REACHED WASHINGTON LAST NIGHT
AND SECRETARY ALGER LEFT.
The Commanding General Suddenly
Becomes Silent and Refuses
l Further Information.

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Secretary Alger
has requested the President to order a
thorough and searching investigation of the
War Department. In this request the Sec
retary has been Joined by Adjutant General
Corbin. No decision has been reached yet
by the President as to what course he will
pursue. He has the request Of Secretary
Alger under consideration, but has not yet
determined whether he will grant 1t or not.
Secretary Alger had long conference with
the President tonight before leaving the
city, and impressed on him his earnest de-
sire that an investigation such as he had
requested be ordered. The question was
very thoroughly discussed in all of IT'S
phases. Secretary Wilson participated in
the conference. and General Corbin was
present during greater part of the time.
It seems now not unlikely that the investi-
cation viii be ordered, but it is the wish
of the President further to consider the
matter before announcing definite policy.
The question probably will receive consid-
GRAFTON at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow.
While all Of the members of the Cabinet
are not in the city. Secretaries Alger and
Long and Attorney General Griggs being
among those who will not be present at to-
morrow's meeting, it is said to be the wish
5ect with those Of his advisers who may be
there
Should the investigation be ordered. 1t
will include, probably, all matters relating
to the conduct of the war, so far as they
concern the War Department. Secretary
Alger expresses himself as confident that
such an investigation, If conducted prompt
ly and thoroughly. will result in much good.
Such an investigation as has been requested
IS. 1t is pointed out, beset with some diff
cultiess No charges of definite character
have been filed by any responsible person
or Official Sensational stories and rumors,
for which the administration has present
l-sovledge that there is no foundation, have
been circulated, and objection is made to
dignifying them by the ordering of an in
vestigation. BY those who desire and advo-
cate the investigation it is maintained it
can do no possible harm and may be OF
positive benefit in clearing away manifest
error from the minds of many people and in
placing the blame If any is to be placed
where it rightfully belongs.

Miles and Colonel Mauss and Colonel Mich
Ter, of his staff, arrived here from New
York at 6;35 o'clock this evening General

crowd from the wicket gate, through which
the distinguished party passed from the
platform into the station. to the carriage
which stood in waiting at the main en-
trance.
AS General Miles stepped from the rear
platform of his car he gave kind greet
ing to his coachman, who stood awaiting
him. and then handed to him bundle of
souvenir canes, while he grasped the hands
OF Captain Morton. Major Black and two
or three newspaper men. He was attired in
unconventional blue serge sack suit and
wore a white fiber. broad-brlmmed Porto
Rican hat. AS General Miles passed through
the crowd IN the station his hands were
grasped q score OF times by enthusiastic
men and women. He gave a cordial greet
ing to all and as he and Mrs. Miles and
Colonel Michier stepped into the carriage
the crowd burst into cheers
While expressing his qualification at the
