officers under the ommander-in-ch chief,

should be recognized in time of war.
The order from Washington makes this
impossible. and therefore rendered my
resignation"

Asked for by Sampson.

Asked for by Sampson.
Washington, April 29.-President Nc
Kinley, as commnader-in-chief Of the
navy, gave the order for the American
fleet to fire on the batteries at Matan-
zas. This was clearly established from
highest official information. Several
days ago Admiral Sampson notified the
secretary of the navy that the work
of strengthening the Spanish batteries
at Matanzas was going ahead with rap
idity and that in his estimation the
work ought to be stopped or the batter
les reduced.
The recommendation of Admiral
Sampson was laid before the naval
strategic board and by II approved. The
matter was then carried to the presi-
dent. who at once sent orders to Ad-
miral Sampson to reduce the batteries
at Matanzas. The order never contem-

twenty miles from this city, on the st.
Paul road, was the scene of a double
murder, the victims being Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Nelson, husband II, wife, 56
years, living near the edge Of the viii
lage. Between 9 and 10 o'clock two
men came to their home. After secur-
ing admission they Immediately began
their murderous work. The old mans
head was crushed in with a club and
the wife was quickly pounded into in
sensibility. The fiends then set fire
to the house and both bodies were al
most totally destroyed by the flames.
Robbery was the object OF the terrible
deed. A few days ago Nelson sold q
house and lot in Boscobel for $500 and
the murderers supposed he had money
in the house. Whether they succeeded
in finding 1t is not known.
An aged lady had a room in the up
per portion of the house. She was
awakened by the entrance OF the men
and listened, quivering while they did
their work, too frightened to call for
help. She heard the old gentleman
begging for his life as the murderer
crushed in his skull. She escaped their
hands, but had a narrow escape from
being burned to death, as the flames
cut off her egress down the stairway.
Neighbors succeeded in taking her from
the upper window just in time to save
her from the flames. Sheriff Moulton
has a clew to the supposed murderers.
