BURNED TO DEATH.

A Very Sad Accident Mt Mineral Wells
Near Parkersburg. Edith Caplinger and
| Her Sister Linda, Two old Women, the
| Victims.
PARKERsBURe, w. Va, February &c.
Details of horrible discovery were
brought here tonight. The bodies of
of age, were found lying in their front
yard nearly burned to crisp last eye
ming. #
Edith Caplinger, aged co. and Linda
Caplinger, aged So, lived alone on a
farm near Mineral Wells, five miles
from Parkersburg, in which they owned
dover interest.
Arthur Stephens, who lives in that
neigh borhood, went to the home of the
Caplingers last evening. When Steph-
ems entered the front yard he found the
bodies of the two women. They were
both dead, every vestige of clothing
being burned from their bodies and the
flesh being charred and burned in
horrible manner.
A piece of apron, partly burned, was
found lying on the floor and the suppo-
sition is that the elder lady's clothing
took fire from the CRATE and in the at
tempt to eXtinguish the flames, the
clothing of the younger woman took
fire. They then probably ran to the
yard, where their bodies were found.
There was evidence of desperate
struggle.
Neighbors who live only short dis.
tance away did not hear any screams
and it is not known exactly when the
accident occurred.
About two hours previous to the find
ing of the bodies smoke was seen rising
from the front yard and then it was
probably that the two lone women had
their desperate fight with the flames.

THE HlsBARo TRAGEDY.
Man in Moundsviiie Penitentiary Said to
Have Made Confession.

Have Made n Confession.
Readers Of the Leader will remem-
ber the narrowing details of tragedy
at Columbu two years ago, in which
the house of Mr.. John Hibbard was
burned and four persons perished.
The Hibbards have relatives in Mari
eta and the two young ladies who
were cremated were we'll known here.
A Columbus dispatch of Saturday,
Feb. Goth, says: Authorities here are
engaged in investigating the alleged
confession made by Wiley Lewis, life
convict in the Moundsville, w. Va,
penitentiary, who claims TO have made
the statement that he fred the resi-
deuce of Mr.. John H. Hibbard here,
two years ago, and destroyed Mr.. and
Mrs. Hibbard's two small children and
two female relatives of Mr.. Hibbard,
who were in>the city on visit Lewis
claims to have burglarized the house
and then set fire to it, after turning on
the natural gas, in order to destroy
the evidence of his crime.
Marshal Ash, of Charleston, W. Va. 4,
to whom this confession is said to have
been made shortly after Lewis was ar
rested for the murder of the late Mar
shall Mccormick of the same city,
claims TO be able to locate two watches
taken from the Hibbard home which
are now in the hands of people in
Montgomery, Fayette county, w. Va.
Tonight Detective John J. Mahoney
and others of the local force, are work
ing on the case, and tracing down the
statements of domestic, who says she
saw Lewis have the watches here after
the burning of the house.
If satisfactory evidence can be Sc
cured, an effort will be made to get
Lewis here to answer to the crime in
the electric chair"

Mr.. EDWARD s. WHITE, brother of
Editor A. B. White, died at his home in
Chicago Saturday morning, the result
of pneumonia.
This news comes to us as a sudden
shock, and seems almost incredible.
just this month we had the pleasure Of
being about with him in New York,
and he was in apparent good health.
The death of this bright and capable
young man is certainly from a human
standpoint, most untimely.

WON DISTINCTION.
Cadet Kampff of Oakland Recommen-
ded for Promotion

1t WIS an Oakland boy who had
charge of the eight inch guns in the
starboard after turret of the Oregon
at the battle of Santiago, and sent
their destructive missiles crashing in
to the fleeing Spanish ships.
Cadet Clarence S. Kempff enjoys
this distinction. So well did he con-
duct himself that Captain Clark of
the Oregon saw fit to recommend him
among other and men as worthy of
promotion. He is emphatically chip
of the old block, his father Captain
Lewis Kempf being a distinguished
officer of the American navy, who
served through the civil war and is
now in command of the independence
at Mare Island.
Cadet Kampff was educated in the
Oakland public schools and subse-
quently he entered Annapolis Naval
Academy, graduating in 1896. He was
then assigned to he Oregon.

FUSED HAND PAINTED AAG.A LETTER FROM DEMPSEY
ODD DEVICE RESORTED TO AT
HOOKENA.
No American Flag Available for Hoist
ing Purposes So They Painted One
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock Back

At Hookena, in South Kona, the
people did not have an American flag
to raise. So they took some white
canvass of the right shape and paint
ed the stars aud stripes and the blue
field on it and hoisted that.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock, who was
present at this ceremony, describes it
as being enthusiastic and vivacious.
His description of this hand painted
flag is intensely amusing.
All over Hawaii flags were raised at
noon on Friday, usually with the ac-
compartment of speeches, music and
frequently luaus.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock returned
today on the Mauna Loa from a tour
of the other Islands in the interest
of a smooth transfer of government
functions following the transfer of
sovereignty. His mission was not to
administer the new oath required of
officials, but to give the proper in
structions to district magistrates and
deputy sheriffs, how to proceed. The
instructions he gave were that as
soon as possible after 10 o'clock noon
on Thursday all officials should take
the oath before a district magistra re
or deputy sheriff. The proper form
of the oath was furnished and in the
case of bonded officers, the proper
form of bond together with instruc-
tions as to the proper way it should
be executed.
According to the law of the Repub-
lie of Hawaii judges and deputy sher-
ifs have the right to administer all
oaths. AS they were continued in au-
thority by the terms of the President S
proclamation, the authority continu-
ed in them, although they had not
themselves taken the oath. The case
is analogous to that of Chief Justice
Judd, who administered the oath to
President Dole and the members of
the Cabinet before he had himself ta-
ken it,
In all the districts the instructions
were followed and there was no fric.
ton. Officials took the oath readily
whether natives or white. The best
of feeling prevailed everywhere.

HAWAII commissioners ON CHINESE IMMIGRATION
HOW THE BELGIC'S CHINESE MAY
BE LANDED.
Mr.. Girvin of the Chinese Bureau
Tells Who May and Who May Not
Land Under New Conditions.

The arrival of the Belgic with 215
Chinese on board naturally gives rise
to the question whether they will be
allowed to land now that Hawaii has
become part of the United States.
j. w. Girvin of the Chinese Bureau,
said this morning:
81 have not yet received my official
list of the Belgic's Chinese, conse-
quently [ cannot give up their classi-
fication. There are no laborers on
board, however, and none of that
class have been allowed to land for
eighteen months.
THE only Chinese that can be land
ed now under the United States and
Hawaiian laws, the latter being still
in force except as to contract labor
ers, are:
81. Women and minors. The wom-
en- must be related by blood or mar
riage to bona fde residents of this
country and the children must be un-
der 10 years of age and born of pa
rents domiciled in Hawaii. That is a
Chinese living here may send for his
wife or children but he may not send
for girl whom he wants to marry.
SO. Hawaiian born Chinese. These
are Hawaiian citizens and as such
have the right to come and go upon
making proof of birth.
"3. Chinese who have become citi-
zens of Hawaii by naturalization.
"A. Those who reside here and take
out what is termed return permits.
These are residents of the Islands
who desire to visit China to see their
relatives or on business. The United
States laws in regard to this class are
more stringent than ours, and those
who may take out these permits are
confined pretty much to merchants,
doctors and students. The United
States regulations in regard to these
permits will be enforced hereafter at
this port.
Beyond the four classes mention
ed no Chinese can come and 90 be-
tween Hawaii and China. We have
stopped issuing six months residence
permits entirely since the last of
July. To obtain these permits Chi
nese here filed a $500 bond with me
in advance and a permit was then
granted emitting the holder to come
here and visit his friends at any time
within six months. On arrival here
he was brought to me to be identifi-
ed and to sign the bond himself. AT
the end of the six months from the
date of the permit if found in the
country he was subject to arrest and
forfeiture of his bond. As l said be-
fore none of these are now being is
sued, but those issued prior to that
time are still good. Any of the per,
mits not used are cancelled, so that
by December 81 all of these permits
outstanding will have expired.
Except as above stated no Chinese
can land on Hawaiian soil. The law
just passed by the Hawaiian Legisla.
ture allowing more Iaborers to come
here is dead letter, as it is in direct
conflict with the Newlands resolution
and the alien laws of the United
States. I do not look for annexation
to make any material change in the
number of Chinese in Hawaii either
| one way or the other"

TELLS OF ZEALANDIA'S VOYAGE
TO MANILA.
Fifty Cases of Fever Among the First
EXpediton-More Danger from Bad
Water Than the Enemy.

Walter Dempsey, formerly a mem-
Der of Company B, who enlisted as u
member of Company f, Tenth Penn
sylvania volunteers, when they pass
ed through this city on the Zealandia,
writes from Manila to his friend Cap
tain Kenake, as follows:
"Our voyage was monotonous and
uneventful. though sad from the ul-
timely death of four comrades on the
China and Senator. They were bur-
led at sea with military ceremonies,
except one, an officer, whose body was
taken on to Manila. On July 18th we
were met by the L. S. S. Boston and
escorted through the enemy's waters
to Manila. AS we steamed into Cavite
on July II we heard the booming of
cannon around Manila and by the
smoke could see where battle was
being fought between the insurgents
and the Spaniards.
1--WE learn that Dewey has 5000 of
Spanish prisoners, captured by the
insurgents and turned over to him for
safe keeping. Manila is held by 5000
Spaniards and all are confined and
continually peclled at by the insur-
gents. The present condition of af-
We make the assault and take possess
sion of Manila. The troops of the
first expedition are camped on shore.
There are some fifty cases of fever
among them but / am told it is not
dangerous. The water used to drink
is rain water caught in tanks from
the houses and boiled and filtered be-
fore using. Unless the boys adhere to
the advice of their elders, fear many
more will go down before the plague
and fevers than will fall before the
enemy. though the surgeons are TAX
ing every precaution. The boys are
eager for the fray; guns, bayonets
and pistols are kept in excellent con-
dition and the owners wait patiently
for the coming event. The battle will
be short and decisive and towns and
the enemy will be ours as fast as we
can advance.
Kindly remember me to all the
boys of Company B, n. G. H."

COAL FOR MANILA.

The purser of the Belgic reports
that when the Belgic was in Nagasalli
on August /, the steamships Austria
liza and City of Sydney had left there
with cargoes of coal, but whether for
Manila or San Francisco was not
known. The China and City of Pc
king were expected, the report hav-
ing it that they were to load coal for
Manila.
The Japan Daily Advertiser of Yo-
kahama has the following dispatch:
NAGASAKI, August 5,-The Ameri-
can steamer City of Pel<ing will leave
here for Manila tomorrow, taking in
1,000tons of coal.
1t is not easy to understand, how
ever, how these vessels could be load.
