Accused of Numbering Her
Sister.

death" she tearfully remarked. Some
time ago she engaged me to take care of
the rooms in her house. We always got
along We'll together until this man How
ard appeared on the scene. For some
reason he took an aversion to me- and in
every way tried to separate US. The day
my sister was so terribly beaten Howard
saw me going upstairs, and in a loud
voice he declared that l was trying to
nefraud her out of her property. A few
minutes later my sister accosted me and
after calling me several vile names she
struck me several times with the cane
she always carried. She continued to beat
me until ran from the room and sought
refuge in my own apartments.
Il am inclined to believe that Howard
inflicted the injuries which caused my
poor sisters death. He seemed anxious
to get possession of the house. He has
made several overtures in that direction
| swear l did not strike my sister, and
God knows l am telling the truth.
Howard, in order to save himself has
told the police that I am my sisters muir
dereT, and they have seen fit to arrest
Soon after Mrs. Mclaughlin was locked
up Detectives Reynolds and Oman ar
iitical meeting, but hearing that the police
were after him he returned to the house
and gave himself up to Reynolds and Di-
nan, who We're waiting for him.
He was Immediately taken to the City
Prison and his name registered on the
small book. 1t is the Intention of the
legation. Howard emphatically denies
that he struck Miss Dougherty.
1T is true l roOmed in her house, he
said when telling his story, land knew
her to be an honorable woman. At times
she would drink too much, and when in
that condition she was inclined to be
ugly.
ON the day her sister says she beat her
[ heard a row in the kitchen and went to
zee what the trouble was. Miss Dougherty
appeared in response to my knocking on
the door and started to limp across the
Yas, when she informed me she was suf-
tering from a blow on the head. AS her
condition became worse l hired a carriage
and took her to the City and County Hos
pital.
II did not know she was dead until a
friend told me-
Howard admitted he hau bought the
furniture in the house from Miss Dough-
erty few days before she received the
injuries which caused her death. He paid
her $50 for it. but she did not have a cent
when searched at the hospital The de-
tectiVeS have been unable to get a trace
Of the money but they are satisfied it was

Howard Judging from his hippant re-
marks, evidently regards his arrest as a
huge joke When he was escorted into the
prison he saw Mrs Mclaughlin seated on
b bench. Approaching the woman he
was responsible for her sisters death.

twenty-five yards OF the fort At that
moment the flagship Olympia, about
three thousand yards from shore, sent
single shell from one of her S-inch
guns. 1t was a splendid shot; it cut
along the back Of the Spanish wall
which ran from the sea 10 the fort,
and drove out any Spaniards that
were left there. Then there was
dash for the wall and a scramble to
get to the door of the fort Outside
lay a wounded soldier on a stretcher,
abandoned by his companions in their
haste. Inside the fort no one stopped
to notice the few dead, but climbed
over the debris to get the Spanish
flag. To Lieutenant Colonel Mccoy
belongs the honor Of pulling it down,
and up went the stars and stripes

opened a brisk fire, and our men took

they could. Stray shots came from

Of a favorable convention with the
United States. The emperor is very
weak young man, physically, morally

The emperor some time ago en-
tered upon policy Of reform
and of modern innovation. The
reactionaries were alarmed. The en-
peror's mother succeeded in regain
ing her control Of affairs. 1t was Of
ficially announced that the emperor's
health had failed to such an extent
that he had retired from the active
business Of ruling, in favor of the
empress dowager. The change has
been accompanied by persecution of
the emperor's liberal advisers and by
uprisings against Europeans in Picking
and in other Chinese cities. The re-
ported death of the emperor has been
disproved. The principal European
governments have promptly increased
the number of their armed guards at
Picking, and there is much prospect of
extensive European interference, on
the ground of China's inabilitw to pro-
tect foreigners. China's dismember-
ment becomes more and more certain.
