ANALYSIS OF ARSENIC
- NEEDED TO AID THE BOTKIN
PROSECUTION
New York to the Fore With Another
Case Of Poison Sent Through
the Mail

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Until the ex.
act nature Of the arsenic which caused the
death Of Mrs. John p. Dunning and hei
sister, Mrs. Deane, has been established tt
the satisfaction OF the local police, the dis.
covery that Mrs. Botkin purchased from 8
local drug store quantity of triturated
arsenic will not be OF much service to the
prosecution. A report has been freely cir
culated that the arsenic hidden beneath
the tempting cover Of chocolate creams was
the crystallized kind, but this has not YET
been proved by the evidence so far In CHIEF
OF Police Lees possession. Mrs. Botkin is
| said to have made the positive statement
to a local newspaper woman that she hat
never purchased arsenic of any kind De
| tective Gibson declares that the candy now
In possession of Chief Lees is loaded with
enough powdered arsenic to kill dozer
men. but Detective Mcvey the Delaware
| representative, will not declare himself
either way.
Mrs. Botkiy. will appear In Judge Cooks
court tomorrow morning, but her case viii
be continued. On Wednesday she will be
taken into Police Judge Joachimson's court
and her trial for sending poisonous matter
through the mails will be commenced. Sub.
sequent proceedings will depend upon the
action to be taken by Governor Budd upor
the extradition papers issued by Governor
Tunnel of Delaware.
ASimilar Case
NEW YORK, Sept. 5-John Hills, a
well-known dealer of S4 Second street, his
wife and sister-in-law, Miss Mary Conley
have been poisoned by whisky which ha6
The case in many respects Is similar to the
poisoning Of Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Dane
by means Of box of candy sent to them
through the mall.
Mrs. Hills received by mail la st Tuesday
small package which contained bottle
about four inches high bearing a whisky
label. She received a second and similar
package on Wednesday. and in that found
another small bottle labeled a different
brand of whisky. She received third
package on Friday. It was larger than the
others and in bottle which had evidently
contained toilet water. Mr.. Hills, his wife
and sister-in-law were at home last night.
when Mrs. Hills thought of the liquors and
told her husband of them. There was just
enough liquor In the bottle to give each one
an averaged sized drink. It was pro-
nounced good whisky when the three had
each tasted It.. The three persons become
afflicted with strange illness within half
an hour Of drinking the whisky, and their
symptoms becoming alarming. Mr.. Hills
whose powerful frame withstood the at
tack better than the women, ran to DR.
Lavendecker, who expressed the opinion
that they were suffering from a powerful
poison, either atrophine or belladonna. Dr.
Lavendecker summoned assistance and al
so notified the police, and after awhile Mr.
Hills and his wife were pronounced out OF
danger. Miss Conley, the doctor said
would probably de. Mr.. Hills says he has
no enemies and the police are at sea.

CUBAN CONDITIONS,
Made Unpleasant by Spanish Hatred
OF Natives

WASHINGTON, Sep. b.-General Nunez
Of the Cuban army has returned to Wash.
ington, having been on an expedition which
took supplies to the Cubans. He left this
country before the war was closed and
landed at several points and delivered his
supplies.
General Nunez reports great deal OF dis.
tress among the Cubans. and says 1t will
be still greater on account OF the inability
Of the Cubans to forage and RAID various
places where they formerly obtainedI sup
plies. General Nunez says that one reason
why the Spaniards are making It difficult
to supply food to the Cubans is that they
want to compel the latter to take the pro.
visions by force and thus create dis.
turbances and trouble and stia up strife
between the Americans and Cubans. which
will tend to discredit them.
The spaniards are willing food should be
given to their immediate people, but do not
want It taken to the Cubans. says the gen.
eral.

IGNORANCE OF THE Law
A GOOD EXCUSE FOR FAILURE TO

Persons Liable to Special Taxes Under
Section Two Not Subjected to
Legal Penalty

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-Commtssione
Scott OF the office Of internal revenue ha
sent the following letter to collectors o.

There being nothing in the law specially
calling the attention Of the public to the
provisions of section a2a7 r. 8. amended
as applicable to these new classes OF specia

consequently, failed to make such return
to report facts in these cases In their nex

DISGUSTED SPANIARDS
Would Like to Serve in Uncle Sans
Army

HAVANA, Aug. 30.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) Last Saturday night
a large number of posters were circulate ed
around town and many fastened at street
corners exhorting the Spanish soldiers to
refuse to return to Spain unless they were
first paid In full all that was due them.
Many have not been paid for fifteen
months, and they fully realize how hopeless
their case Is II they return home, there to
await day for payment.
The posters were the result Of the dissat-
isfaction of the troops, who feel that they
have been deceived and betrayed by the
Spanish government.
A further Illustration of this dissati
tion is furnished by the following incident:
Captain Stewart NJ Brice, Of General
Shelters stan, has been at the Hotel
Pasajes here ON leave Of absence for sew
eral days. One morning last week lieu
tenant in the Spanish army, dressed in his
uniform. called upon Captain Brice with q
request to be transferred to the American
army. He said he would be glad to accep,
even sergeant's appointment. as he
wished to leave the employ of the Spanish
government.
Captain Brice explained to him the DIFF
fculties that lay in the way, expressing
himself as gratifed by the spirit the Span
.sh officer had displayed and ended the
interview by treating him to a bottle OF
champagne, which the spaniard evidently
regarded as ths every day beverage of all
American officers, easily procurable ou,
of the handsome pay allowed by the United
States government. Such incidents are
OF course, trifiing, but they show the way
the wlnd ID blowing. An exchange of opin-
ions with a numbep Of Spaniards here in
various walks Of life convinces one Of Their
readiness to accept an American pro.ec-
torate with good grace
In fact, the prevailing sentiment Is one
OF animosity toward the Madrid govern
ment. in which they have lost all faith.

Needing Attention of the Presiden

NEW YORK. Sept. 5.-A special to tn,
Herald from Washington says:
1t can be stated on excellent authorit,
| that Justice White has not officially ac
cepted the appointment as member of the
Peace Commission. The question is still
open, and this would seem to indicate thai
there Is chance of the justice accepting
membership on the commission. 1t Ii
known. however. that President Mckinley
has several prominent men in view in case
Justice Whites declnation should be final
1t Is confidently stated by administration
officials now in Washington that the fiftf
member of the American commission will
be selected the early part Of the present
week, and that the first session of the full
body would be held In the State Depart
ment In the latter part Of the week tt
study the important work before 1t re-
ceives instructions from the President.
President Mckinley will be In Washing
lton on Tuesday. and the Cabinet meeting
to be held on that day will undoubtedly con-
slider a draft OF the Instructions which
TIE President and Secretary Day have beer

Acting Secretary Moore expects to have
ready for submission to the commission
all the data relating to the Philippines
which It Is possible to obtain and a State
mcnt of the claims arising from persona
injuries or property losses in Cuba which
have been submitted by Americans.
1t Is said that the French Embassy has

the appointment OF the Spanish commits
sioners. 1t is not expected that the Madrid
government will transmit this information
until the receipt of the names of the Amer
lean representatives which will be sent on
Tuesday. In delaying the announcement
OF the names of her representatives, Spain
1t is believed. desires to show that defer
ence which should properly be paid to the
victor by the vanquished. Besides the in.
structions to the Peace Commissioners. the
President will have several important mat.
ters to dispose of upon his return. He vii
have to prepare an instruction to the
American Ambassador at st. Petersburg
in reply to the invitation of the Gear te
participate In the disarmament conference
While administration officials with whom
your correspondent has talked look upor
the Csar's proposition as quixotio and no,
directly applicable to the United States
stlll there Is no doubt that the President
will fnd It desirable to approve of thu
Cxar's proposition and to inform him that
an American representative will attend
the conference.
President Mckinley will also confer with
the American members Of the Canadian
Commission regarding Its work and the con.
|cessions 1t will make in return for equally
valuable favors. The Samoan question
which Germany is trying to bring to life
again will also have to be considered.
