GIRL "WENT BACK ON HIM.
SHE IS A SIREN IN A DOWN
TOWN DANCE-HOUSE.
And So Otto Anderson Pumped a
Lot Of Morphine Into
His Arm.

Otto Anderson, a bartender at the
Golden Gate saloon at Fourth and II
streets, last night made an attempt TO
shuttle off the mortal coil by the NOR
phine route, in his room at the lnterna-
tional clearinghouse on K street, be-
tween Third and Fourth.
Captain of Police Ash and Officer
Douglas were informed about IL O'Clock
that Anderson had gone to sleep and
could not be awakened. They inves-
tigated and concluded, from finding a
bottle of morphine and hypodermic
syringe. that 1t was a case of poison
ing. and at once notified Assistant City
Physician Ogden, who verified their
conclusion.
Anderson was nearly dead when the
physician arrived, and but small hope
was had of his recovery. He was re-
moved to the Receiving Hospital, and
after an hours hard work showed
signs of improving, and the attending
physician gave it as his opinion that
the chances for his recovery were en-
couraging.
Anderson is Swede, and before
coming to Sacramento several years
ago, followed the sea. He formerly
worked as a ranch hand, and at one
time was employed on the ranch Of Sen
ator William Johnston, down the river.
About Z o'clock last evening, Ander-
son went to his room, telling his en-
ployer, who was also his room mate,
to wake him at IL o'clock. He had
been drinking heavily during the day,
but did not intimate that he contem-
plated suicide Early in the even
ing, however, he was heard to say that
his mother cast him adrift and now
his girl had gone back on him. and that
he was despondent.
1t was subsequently learned that the
women spoken of by Anderson as .his
girl is employed in a K-street dance
hall.
DIR. Ogden believes that Anderson in
jected about a teaspoonful of liquid
morphine into his arm, as that amount
was missing from the bottle, and pow
erful antidotes were accordingly ad-
ministered. Anderson has, so far as
could be learned, no relatives In Cali

case of pension fraud. the latest de-

Paris. March "a great sensation
has been caused here by the report that
former Captain Albert Dreyfus, for
whose defense Zola was recently tried
and convicted had attempted 10 COM
nit suicide in his lonely prison on the
Isle du Diable, off the coast of French
Guiana. The vigilance of his guards
prevented the man from taking his
life, and now his sufferings have been
made even more unbearable than they
were before. Dreyfus is compelled to lie
all night on a plank bed and his feet
are chained to a cannon ball. The graf
ings on the windows of his cage have
been greatly strengthened. as it was
feared that the prisoner might try to
effect his escape.
According to the reports everything
possible is being done to intensity the
sufferings Of the prisoner. Even the let
ters from his wife are becoming rarer
and rarer, and the knowledge of the
agitation in France to secure a revis-
ion of his sentence is kept from him.
What his friends are doing in his be-
half is kept from the unfortunate man.

French war department secrets to the

strain on his mind and body is such
that he is on the verge Of collapse. and

seen happens his end is not far off.

Note Issued at Madrid Says Neither Coun-

Madrid, March "a semi official note
just issued declares that the Spanish
government has not received any COM
plaint regarding the attitude of Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee, the United States
consul general, at Havana. adding:
ION the contrary. Captain General
Blanco affirms that General Lees be-
havior has always been correct. Never
theless. the incident serves to explain
the origin of the ill-will between the
two countries. This is proved by state
ments attributed to Secretary Sherman,
by which the jingoes have created the
belief in the United States that Spain
is trying to provoke war. while at the
same time engendering the feeling in
Spain that il is the United States which
demands the opening of hostilities. 1t
is essential that this double game
should be ended In order 10 prevent the
two countries from going to war with
out motives and without either of them
desiring It,"
A seml-official news agency Of this
city issued the following announce
ment:
after brief uneasiness there is a
general belief now that peace will not
be broken and that the relations be-
tween Spain and the United States will

house met for three hours general de-
bate on the BILL to be followed by one
hours debate under the five-minute
