SANTIAGO CAMPAIGN.
Gen. Shafter Talks Of the Landing
Place Of the Troops.

CHICAGO, Oct 14.-General William
r. Shafter, in an interview here 1e-
garding the Santiago campaign, says
regarding the suggestion that the land
ing should have been made at Aqua
dores:
Amy commanding General who
would have landed his troops at Aqua
dores in preference to Baiquiri ought to
be court-martialed and shot for incom-
potency. 1t was not good beach on
which to land. The ground was dense
ly covered with a vine or plant more
deadly than poisonous ivy. Through
this the soldiers would have to cut
their way. The point was strongly
defended, and there was no water be-
tween AguadoreS and Santiago. The
ground was impracticable, if not inn
penetrable. Had landed at Aguadores
and invested Santiago, the Spanish
would have had road over which
they could have retreated from the city
if they so desired. Our army went
over the hills and cut off the Spanish
retreat

MORE TROUBLE IN FRANCE.
A Military Plot Against the Gov
eminent DISCOVERED.

PARIS, Oct. lit Isl announced here
this morning that a military plot
against the Government has been dis
covered. 1.-THE Rappal," "Aurore" and
Petite Republique Franchise" publish
almost identical stories on the subject.
1t appears that the plot was discover
ed by a General holding an important
position. The plotters were to have
taken action on Saturday, during the
absence of the Minister of War, General
Chanoine. 1t further appears that
when the Government was warned of
the plot the Ministers were not sur
prised, having already obtained infor
nation regarding the conspiracy.
The "Matin" says the plot was not
in favor of one of the pretenders to the
throne of France, who has been talked
about for some time, but was only for
the purpose of changing certain Off
Gals of the Government without touch
ing the President
The Premier, M. Brisson, was among
those who were not surprised when no
titled of the plot He promises to take
action in the matter.
The Government officials here refuse
to furnish any information regarding
the discovery of the plot, but it was
rumored this afternoon that the con-
spiracy involves Prince Louis Bona
parte, a Colonel of Russian Lancers, in
whose favor his brother, Prince Victor
Bonaparte, recently resigned the leader
ship of the Imperialist party. 1t is
added that certain political personages
handed the Premier important docu-
ments, including a cipher dispatch
comprising certain military men. The
Minister of War has recalled his an
nounced intention of leaving Paris.

MURDERERS HANGED.
One Was Formerly a Chief of Po-
lice at Muskegon, Mich.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14-George H. Jacks.
formerly Chief of Police at Muskegon,
Mich, and John Druggan, both con-
victed murderers, were hanged on the
same scaffold in the County Jail this
afternoon. Some time before the hang
ing Jacks sent the following letter to
the jailer:
Mr.. Whitman: My Dear Sir:
Please do not let any of the clergy in
to see me. If /, an innocent man, be
hanged to-day, without the right to
have the highest court in the land pass
upon my case, which is all prepared, at
great expense to myself and labor to
my friends; if I am refused this right,
which every man is entitled to, there
certainly can be no God above us, and
in that case, the clergy can do no good
So please do not allow any to see me.
Yours, GEORGE II. JACKS"
This request was complied with
Druggan was brought in first The
trap was sprung, and in seventeen
minutes he was pronounced dead. His
body was then cut down, the trap re-
placed and Jacks brought in. In four
teen minutes his heart ceased to beat.
Both men died of strangulation
the scaffold. Jacks prayed constantly
while the moose and shroud were being
adjusted
Just before going to the scaffold
Jacks. Notwithstanding his letter con-
sented to be accompanied by a priest.
On the way to the scaffold Jacks re-
peated aloud after the priest the pray
ers which the latter voiced.
"Oh, Lord, have mercy on my SOUL"
were the last words of Jacks.
Jacks was convicted of the murder of
A. j. McGhee, an aged collector whom
Jacks, assisted by VIM. J. Willows, now
serving fourteen years for completely
in the crime, decoyed into an apartment
house on Indiana avenue for the pur-
pose Of robbery. Jacks had a long
criminal record
Druggan was convicted of the MUIR
der of Robert Gudgeon, a saloonkeeper,
whom Druggan attempted to rob.

GENERAL SUMNER.
Will Be Sent TO the South and
Given Command of a Division.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-Major Gen
eral Sumner who received his promo
ton for gallantry in the battle of Santi-
ago, will soon be sent to one of the
corps in the South and given command
of a division. General Sumner is at
present Chief. mastering officer for
Pennsylvania, but has expressed his
preference for service with the soldiers.
With his command in Cuba was a
Captain of the British army, who told
him that the troops in India and other
tropical climates were inspected every
day by an English officer, to make sure
that they were wearing the flannel belt
next their skins, and also a pad on the
back of their necks. This was regarded
by the medical officers of the army as
a great protection against diseases in
cident to tropical countries.

The Stiff New Rope Cut Deep Into the Neck
When the Trap Fell,
Causing the Blood to Flow in
Cap-The Crime for Which
Miller Was Executed Was for
the killing of James Childs at
San Francisco in 1896.

SAN QUENTIN, Oct. 1s.-Murderer
john Miller. the hunchback, was hang
ed here at 1870 O'clock to-day. Ne was
cool to the end. After the drop the
blood spurted in great quantities from
his neck. He was nearly decapitated.
The stiff new rope cut deep into his
neck, severed thet large veins and arter-
les and left the trunk attached to the
mead by only the muscles at the back.
From under the black cap strong
streams of blood gushed, soaked the
coat of the suspended corpse, trickled
down the trousers into the leather slip
pers and to the floor and crimsoned the
hands of the doctors who tried To stanch
the flow. 1t was a sickening sight. and
the first of that nature TO mar any of
the twenty hangings which have been
performed atlSan Quentin Penitentiary-
The crime for which Miller was hang
ed was the killing of James Childs in
san francisco in November 1896. Be
ing in love with a woman named Mrs.
Nellie Ryan, Miller called 10 see her,
after she had informed him that she
did not care for his company. This
angered Miller, and he threatened to
Kill her. on the day of the murder he
renewed his threats, and she fed down
CIementina street, followed by Miller,
who had a pistol in his hand. Mrs.
Ryan's calls for help attracted James
Childs, who came to her rescue, but
was shot dead by Miller.
After a trial in the Superior Court
and an appeal to the Supreme Court
Miller was sentenced to be hanged. He
was a native of Germany, aged AZ
years. Ten years of his life were spent
in California, where he followed his
occupation Of carpenter and cabinet
maker He was hunchback, and I'M

PEACE COMMISSION.
Commander Bradford Testifies Be-
fore the American Board. !z

PARIS, Oct. 14-Commander Brad
ford, United States navy, who has ar
rived here from Washington, was ex-
amined this morning by the members
of the United States Peace Commission
relative to the conditions prevailing and
the main features of interest in the
Philippine Islands, which the command
CT is we'll acquainted with.
The fifth joint session of the two
Commissions was convened at 9 o'clock
to- day. 1t may be said that the first
second and third meetings scarcely pen
etrated the surface of any protocol
point, and less still the marrow Last
Tuesday, however, marked the Spanish
presentment regarding the Cuban debt
which has, during recess, brought the
Americans to serious preparations, ad-
justment of their diplomatic forces and
the formulation of a plan upon which
they may ultimately stand in relation
to the Cuban phase of their mission
here.
1t is not unlikely that since Tuesdays
meeting the Americans, who have been
exceedingly busy, have determined
upon an attitude toward the Spanish
proposition that the United States as
part, and that it has been reduced to
writing for the presentation to the
Spaniards, stating the American view
broadly as to what is the Cuban what
proportion is fairly chargeable to the
island as legal and beneficial thereto,
and the proportion to be charged to
Spain as beneficiary of the so-called Gu
ban debt A conclusion, however. should
not be drawn from the fact of this care
full weighing of the Spanish proposition
by the Americans that they accept
either alternative classification of the
Cuban obligation but rather that they
are acting on line and purpose to
meet every point raised as exhaustiveiy
as presented. They have thoroughly
traversed the Cuban debt views, and
proposals submitted in writing by the
Spaniards on Tuesday. The Americans.
therefore, undoubtedly submitted in
writing to-day their return for the
Spanish presentment and there will be
either an oral discussion to-day or a
written interchange of views at the
next meeting.
