SURGEON-GEN SEAMAN OBJECTS. Overcrowding of the Transport Obdam With Sick Soldiers.

Santiago, Oct 2.-Surgeon General Seaman of the transport Obdam de- clares that there will be a repetition of the awful horrors that have character ized the voyage home of the other transports if more sick soldiers are sent on board the vessel for transportation to New York. He says that when the Obdam left Porto Rico many on board were sick, yet the first quartermaster refused to furnish wine for their use, but supplied them with hardtack and canned food, saying that he had no au- thority to do more. The surgeon said he would hold him responsible should any deaths occur and finally succeeded in obtaining suitable food for those who were ill. He asserts that the ship has every man she can carry and that if she reaches New York without any deaths occurring she will be lucky. Hearing that a number of other sick soldiers were to be sent aboard her the surgeon made a protest and stated that he was informed by General Lawton that his protest showed lack of disci- pline and that an officer had been ap- pointed to see how many additional men the Obdam could carry Surgeon Seaman says he will cable to Surgeon General Sternberg protest disclaim- ing responsibility for whatever may happen.

A Pittsburg Girls Awful Deed-Laten
 She Shot Herself.


 Pittsburg, Oct. 2.-Bertha Berlstein killed her mother to-day and later put four bullets into her body, from the ef- fects of which she cannot survive. The only explanation the girl gave for her terrible deed was: q wanted to die and did not want my mother to live and fret over my death" The crime, which was committed some time in the early morning, was not discovered until late in the day, when a son of the murdered woman entered the house. He went to his mothers room and found her dead. In room adjoining that of the mother the son found his sister still alive. To one of her broth CTS during an interval of conscioustess the girl told of the shooting of her mother. She said she had decided to kill herself and knew that the shock of her death would break her mothers s heart and concluded death would be preferable to her sufferings on earth Her mother she said, was sleeping when she went into the room. She pleiCSu llieS IGNUlNSI clOSe lU HeE DIGdSl and fired. Her mother sat up in bed and said: 'Bertie what are you doing?" the answer was another shot, which she says was fired at her mothers face. One more wound was inflicted after ward. Frederick Berlstein, the father of the family, was one of the best known residents of Allegheny. He died suddenly in December last from apop- lexy and since then the daughter has been Respondent.

 Boston,

With fresh pacers she will push on to Springfield, where she will take lunch and get more pacemakers who will take her to Worcester in time for dinner.

 Picquart and Dreyfus.
 Paris, Oct. 2.-The holding of the Dreyfus demonstration organized by M. Presence, one of the leaders in the agitation, for this afternoon, was pre- vented by the closing of the Sale Wagone by the police. The persons taken into custody yesterday were re- leased to-day. M. Henrand has been promoted to the rank of major. Slight disorders of a local nature, most of them in the vicinity of the offices of Libre Parole, occurred during the even- ing. Several arrests were made, but all those taken into custody were subse- quently released
 (Midnfght)-It transpires that many persons were slightly injured in the dis turbances which occurred to-day, though sticks were the only weapons used. It is learned that six of the per- sons arrested have been held. AL though the disorders have not been at tended with serious results, they have created intense alarm among the for
 
 an exodus will occur, the guests fear ing grave developments. The working classes so far have held aloof, but the leaders of the rival parties are doing their utmost to stir them up, and 1t is believed that the disorders will be re- peated.
 An ugly statement Is made by the Petite Republique to the effect that Colonel Picquart, who had previously taken exercise in the courtyard of the jail, has not left his cell since Thurs day, when he was seized with symp- toms of cerebral congestion, followed by coma. There is no means, however, of verifying the statement.
 LeMatin publishes a dispatch from Cayenne stating that the French cruiser Dubourdieu is lying off the Salut Islands waiting to bring Dreyfus away.

Manila, Oct. 2.-The national assem- ply at Malolos at recent sitting voted Aguinaldo a civil list of $75,O00, but Aguinaldo declined to receive anything until the army should have been paid An attempt was made by Paterno the speaker of the house, to have inserted a clause granting him an allowance be- cause of the office, but the proposal was rejected. The assembly is now en- gagged in discussing the constitution. The Spanish community is telegraph ing to Madrid In an endeavor to secure the enforcement of the release of pris- oners. The personal Investigations made in the provinces emphasize the intention of the insurgents to obtain a specific guarantee of valuable terms before releasing the prisoners now in their hands and 1t Is certain that they will never cheaply relinquish their dearly bought conquests. Everywhere Is seen evidences of appalling strug- gles Popular opinion favors autono- my, which it Is generally expected will be established. The people distrust the Americans, who, beginning to realize this fact, sent the cruiser Raleigh to the northwestern ports for the purpose of showing the American flag and mak- ing friends with the natives. A corps of physicians are experimenting hos- pital work.
