WHERE WERE THE POLICE?

A MoundsyiIle Newspapers Comment on
the Mclaughlin Murder Case.
The following is taken from the last
issue of the Moundsville Herald:
People reading the account Of the
daylight murder on Wheeling's prin-
cipal business street last Friday natur-
ally inquire about the strange absence
of the police. In all the columns of
matter published in the Wheeling pa
pers about the tragedy, and they have
had full and excellent reports, there is
no mention Of policeman. From
the reports we CLEAN that on Wednes-
day evening Charles Mclaughlin was
met on the street and invited to fight,
refused, was followed and compelled
to fight, badly beaten and left on the
street, but no police
Thursday morning McLaughlin's
two brothers met Johnson and Devin-
ney, and another street fight enSues
which lasted until the men quit Of their
own accord.
Friday afternoon more trouble IN
South Wheeling, after which Johnson
and Devinney follow the McLaughlins
and their friends up and down street
fifteen or twenty squares in all-pre-
sumably waiting for a favorable oppor-
tunity to begin the trouble, found 1t,
opened fire and kept it up until all the
members of the Mclaughlin party were
dead or had made their escape.
Then the murderers walked leisurely
off, taking a roundabout course to the
Court House to surrender, chatting and
reloading their revolvers as they went.
In all this rumpus from beginning to
end no mention of a policeman is made.
Whether the police yet know of the
affair is not known, but it is presumed
that they do That they nowhere fig
ure or appear in this running fight,
which had begun to partake OF the
nature of Hatfeld-McCoy feud nat
urally causes inquiry and comment
outside.

TO START AFTER
EVACUATION

No date for the departure of the
monitors for the West Indies has been
fixed, but the naval authorities say that
they will not start from League island
until after the Spanish forces have
evacuated Cuba and Porto Rico. No
body here knows how long that will
take. Reports from Gen. Brooke, the
senior member of the Porto Rican COM
mission, show that the work Of the
commission is going ahead rapidly and
will soon be accomplished.
The Havana commission has not
made any definite reports, but from
their knowledge of the situation the ad-
ministration officials are satisfied that
it will be several months before Cuba
can be formally handed over to the
United States.
A number of the yachts and ocean
going tugs which served as glinboats I'm
the war with Spain will also be as
signed to duty in Cuba and Porto Rico.
They will be useful in preventing
smuggling. which was carried on quite
extensively on the southwest coast OF
Cuba near the Isle of Pines.

San Francisco. Sept. 19.-The board OF
survey. appointed to discover the Ten
nessee volunteers responsible for the
outrages on the Thomas family. has

OUR POLICY
FULLY EXPLAINED

In his note preferring the request
Gen. Wade of the American commission
pointed out that the policy Of the Amer
lean administration, since the begin
ming of the war, had been to feed the
reconcentrados. In addition to this the
commission had received many peti-
tions from the starving insurgents
praying that steps be taken to secure
the free importation of provisions. A
long letter had also been received from
Gen. Gomez. the chief OF
the insurgent army, who argued tnat
the Spaniards should be made to evacu-
ate the port of Caibarien In order that
provisions might be imported Tor the
Cuban army.
II is said by the Spaniards that Gen.
Blanco was not free to act on his own
responsibility in the matter of the free
importation of provisions, and that he
had to comply with the existing Gus
toms regulations. In the case or the
Comal he offered to pay the duties on
her cargo and to meet the expenses or
landing it. but he could not authorize
the free distribution Of food without
warrant from the authorities while Ha-
vana was still I'M possession or spain.

TEXANS TOOK
THEIR MONEY

Jacksonville, Fla. Sept. 19.-The Sec
ond Texas Regiment has been paid OF
by Major Lynch. from whom the men
several days ago refused to accept pay
ment because Major Lynch Is a negro.
The unpleasantness that grew out Of
the refusal of the Second Texas to ac-
cept from Major Lynch the payment OF
the money due to them for the month
of August was not apparent yesterday,
everything connected with the payment
passing Off smoothly and without fric-
ton.
When the regiment refused several
days ago to receive the money from
Major Lynch the matter was referred
TO the Paymasters Department at At
lanta, which is in charge OF this dis
trict. and from there 1t went to Pay
master General Stanton. who indorsed
the papers to the effect that Major
Lynch is a paymaster in the United
States Army. and IL the Second Texas
Regiment or any other regiment should
refuse to be paid by him. they would
have 10 await the convenience OF the
government for their pay. The papers
were then sent to the adtutant-general.
who brought the matter to the atten-
ton OF the President. II Is said that
the regiment took a vote on the sub
ject yesterday noon and decided to re-
ceive it's pay. The Second Is to leave
here on Tuesday for Texas and there
be mustered out OF service. This may
have had something to do with the
change Of heart.
