All of the parts of the dismembered body
~ the Young woman so mysteriously muir
dered and mutilated and cast into the
waters of,the YellowMill river have been
found. The trunk was discovered to-
day. This part was swathed in a white
rubber sheet, such as is used In surgical
onerating rooms. This latter clrcum-
stance, together with the pialn evidence
that the body was severed, like the limbs
and the head. by an expert, using Keen
l,nife and a perfect-edged saw, leads the
nolice to the conviction that the mutlla-
ton and presumably the murder was done
by a surgeon.

TWO CABINET SESSIONS.
instructions to Peace Commission
Agreed Upon-No Manila Crisis.

WARRINGTON. September Batter a
session lasting nearly two and a half
hours, to-day. the Cabinet took a recess
until $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon. The sltu-
alton at Manila was discussed at some
length but the principal business Of the
meeting was the discussion of the letter
OF instructions to be given TO the commits
sion which will meet in Paris to formu-
late treaty OF peace with Spain.
Several OF the members Of the Cabinet,
who We're taking their vacations were re-
called by the President 10 attend to-
days meeting.
The letter of instructions will not be
made public. but ii is understood that 1t Is
comprehensive In character, and in addi-
tion 10 making plain the general policy
Of the government on all important
points, IL covers all Of the details that can
now be foreseen and provided for. 1t is
assumed, however. that many questions
are likely TO arise during the deliberations
OF the joint commission upon which the
American members will require specific
cable instructions from the President.
DAY STILL SECRETARY.
Secretary Day has not yet sent his
resignation TO the President. but no doubt
he will do so in a day or two.
The Cabinet, at its second session, con-
tinucd the discussion of the instructions
TO be given TO the American members Of
the Peace Commission. Although the
document is practically agreed upon as a
whole. the matter will be left open until
the meeting here Of the members Of the
commission, two days hence. when final
revision will be made.
1t is the Presidents wish as expressed
TO the Cabinet members, that nothing
concerning the instructions be made
public.
PHILIPPINE SITUATION.

Spanish Soldiers Desert to Es-
cape Starvation.

New York, May 13.-A dispatch to the
World from Nuevitas, Cuba, by way of
Nassau, says:
Chaos reigns at Camaguira and famine
at Nuevitas.
Every boat in the harbor, steam and
sail, has been damned into the narrow
channel, to be sunk at the first sign of
attack. Two thousand soldiers guard
the entrance, II miles from the city, and
four old cannon have been mounted on an
island in the harbor. People are starv-
ing. Salt pork costs a dollar and a half
a pound, rice 80 cents and goats bring 500
each.
The Spanish commander told the starv-
ing people to go into the country, he
could not feed them.
Many soldiers are joining the insurgents
to get food.
The conditions at Puerto Principe are
still worse. The surrounding forts are al
most abandoned.
A column of 5000 Spaniards started for
Moron, carrying a flag of truce. When
fired upon by the insurgents the COM
mander sent word that he was longer
making war upon Cubans, but was going
to the coast to fight Americans.
General Lopez Recez replied: Spain
cannot fight the United States without
fighting Their war is our war; and
again opened fire.
The Spaniards lost 900 men in the four
days march to the sea. PacificOs, spOng
ers and fishermen are being pressed into
the Spanish eervfce. The Spanish columns
on the way the coast are burning all
the country homes. President Masso has
ordered Generals Gomez and Garcia to
meet himself and cabinet at Moron trocha.
where there will be a concentration of
Cuban forces.

WILL SOON BREAK CAMP.
Troops and Transports at Tampa for
Only Short Time.

Port Tampa, May 13.-The cavalry
regiments from Chickamauga, will be
encamped in West Tampa A location
for the infantry has not yet been def
nitely decided upon although it is quite
probably they will encamp near the cav
airy. The place selected is convenient
to the railroad and is fully three miles
nearer the Port Tampa docks than the
camping grounds of the infantry al
ready here.
The Orizaba, the big Ward line
steamer that has been at the quaran-
tine station down the bay for several
days has taken on full supply of coal.
The work of fitting her for transport
duties, will be rushed to a conclusion.
Including the Olivette and Gussie, a
fleet of eleven transports will be gath
cred at Port Tampa, ready for the en-
barkation. Thees boats can easily car
ry a force of 1000 to 10000 men, with
about 1000 horses and mules.
The Salvation Army may furnish a
corps of nurses for the army in Cuba.
A delegation of Salvation Army leaders
from New York, including Mrs. Capt.
Sam, sent here by Comodore Booth
Tucker, has made application to Gen.
Shafter for permission to send Is to 80
Salvation lassies, all of whom it is
claimed are trained nurses, over with
the expedition. Permission, it is said
was refused, although it was intimated
that after the troops got into Cuba,
there would be no objection to the Sal
walton Army nurses, should nurses be
required.

EXPEDITION LANDED.
Spaniards Were Premature in Re
porting RepuIse of Americans.


Key West, May 13-The transport
steamer Gussie which left here with a
big expedition for Cuba on Wednesday
night had a lively engagement with the
Spanish at Cabanas, province of Pinar
del Rio, yesterday but succeeded in ac-
cOmpliShing her mission.
The Gussie which came here from
Tampa, carried 1000 rifles and a large
quantity of ammunition intended for
the Cubans. The expedition was di-
rected by Captain J. H. Dorst of the
United States cavalry who took with
him over 100 men of the First infantry
and ten Cuban scouts.
After a rough voyage the Gussie was
met off the Cuban coast by the auxil
larry gunboats Wasp and Manning,
which escorted her in. AS they APP
preached the shore a large body of
Spanish soldiers opened fire upon the
expedition and the gunboats replied
with effect, enabling the expedition to
land. On shore the battle was renew
ed The Spanish troops had retired to
their works and the woods and direct
ed a constant but inaccurate fire upon
the landing party. The latter was re-
inforced by a body of armed insur-
gents, who had been informed of the
coming of the expedition. Then under
the fire of the gunbOats the Spanish
force was compelled to withdraw and
the mission of the Gussie was accOmp-
lished.
One of the American party was shot
in the back. The Spanish loss is not
known but must have been heavy.

IMPORTED CUNNERS.
Austria, Germany and France
May Be Aiding Spain.

Chicago, May 13.-A special to the
Journal from Washington says: I'm
official information has reached the
state department that number of
Austrian artillerymen were sent to Gu
ba some time ago. 1t is said that at
least twenty trained Austrian gunners
were on the Montserrat
Germany, it is said, has also consid-
cradle representation of the gunners
among Blanco's soldiers.
These facts account for the difference
in the report of the recent engagement
New York, May 13.-The Evening
Posts Key West special says: Naval
officers state that some of the passen-
gers on the French line steamer Lafay-
cite brought there a few days ago for
blockade running and afterwards re-
leased, were artillery officers hired by
manship.
New York, May 13.-A dispatch to
the World from Washington says:
The possibility of diplomatic comp1i-
cations between the United States and
France is suggested by this question
which is agitating naval officers at the
capital: Did French experts man the
guns that carried death to five Ameri-
Cou SdIlOTS on the w
The suspicion directed against France
is due to two cause.-the recent block
ade running experience of the French
steamship Lafayette, which was releas-
ed after being held up by the blockad-
ing fleet, and the improvement of the
SunnerS manning the guns on Spanish
forts.
Their Improvement has been notice
able, according to naval experts, that it
indicates the introduction of new and
more experienced hands, when consid-
cred with the previous work of the
Spanish gunnerS, who could not send
shell within half mile of a man-of-
war, much less strike a lao ton torpedo
boat.
Reports from the American fleet
blockading the Cuban coast received
during the last four or five days have
credited the Spanish gunners with
much better craftsmanship than has
been formerly given them.
According to naval officers, the sur
prising efficiency manifested in the re-
cent work can not logically be explain
ed by natural improvement, due to
practice. The Spanish gunners who
have been lobbing away at the block
aiding fleet for ten days prior to Tues
day were reported to be bad as to
merit the deserved contempt of the
youngest powder monkey in the Amer
lean service.
Navy officers in gunnery argue then
that gunners who brought havoc to the
little WinSlOw were not the same as
Ihose VINO nave peen operating the
guns at Cardenas, Havana, and Ma
tanzas during the blockade. They are
inclined that the men who did the
work are new corners, better trained
and more expert than the Spanish gum
nerS and their deduction inspires the
suspicion against the French liner La
fayette, which by act of courtesy of
this government was permitted within
the lines of the blockade for the OSten-
81 BILE purpose of delivering dispatches
to the French consul at Havana and
deporting French residents who desir-
ed to leave the Cuban capital.

BLANCO'S REPORT.
Announces That Americans Suffered
Heavy Loss at Cienfuegos.

Havana, May 13.-Gen. Blanco has
sent a dispatch to the minister of war
at Madrid stating that on Tuesday five
American vessels blockaded CienfuegOs
and on Wednesday morning opened fire,
being answered by the batteries. The
enemy, the dispatch said, attempted to
affect a landing with lighters drawn by
steam launches, but the Spanish force,
strategically disposed, obliged them to
re-embark hastily and to retire west
wardly after five hours fighting. The
Spanish losses were fourteen wounded
and some damage was done to the
lighthouses. The people of Cienfuegos
Loyalty supported the troops, ladies
carrying about refreshments among the
soldiers and taking care of the wound
ed. The dispatch also asserted that
the attack seemed to have been made
in common with inSurgent bands con-
centrated on the Cienega slopes.

YELLOW RAG MUST GO.
Fitzhugh Lee Says Cardenas is ar
Important Point

,Washingtton, May 1s.-Major General
Fftzhugh Lee, who is spoken of as the
most likely for the post of military gov
ernor of Cuba until the republic is estab-
Hshed, says that Cardenas, which was
attacked by American gunboats, was an
importat point strategically to be pos
sessed by the United States forces.
About twenty miles back in the coun-
try. at Jovellanos, L think it is he said,
all the railroads for Cuba form a juno
ture, and with Cardenas in the hands of
the Americans the investment of Havana
would be materially advanced by the pos
reach Havana by the regular. channels
from the interior and with the blockading
fleet in front of the city it's fate would
soon be determined finally. In my opin-
ion the attack Cardenas was for the
purpose of getting at Jovellanos.''
Referring to Ensign Bagley, General Lee
said:
He was a gallant lad and I am sorry he
has gone He was a worthy fellow and
brave as lion I'll bet ne made good
fight. But must not take our losses
too much to heart. War means blood
shed upon both sides and we are bound to
lose many brave lads before we drag the
yellow ensign of Spain from the ramparts
of Moro. CabanaS and others of the
StrOnghOldS of the enemy.''

HUNGARIANS SAFE.
Premier Says United States Govern
ment Will Protect Citizens.

Buda Pest, May 13.-Premier Baron
Banffy, replying to an Interpolation in
the lower house of the diet today, said ::
The government has not thought it
necessary to issue a formal declaration
of neutrality in the present war. Al
though it is unfortunate that the war
could not be prevented, it does not fol-
low that AuStria-Hungary is called up
on to adopt a special attitude in the
matter. The friendly relations of Aus
Hungary with both powers imply
an unconditional neutrality without a
formal declaration. Moreover an Off
cial declaration of neutrality would not
correspond with Austria-Hungary' S
practice in similar cases, as she has on
ly thrice done so during the present
century, and then when the belligerents
were Austria-Hungary's immediate
neighbOrs.''
The premier added: 1.-The govern
ment is of the opinion that there is no
occasion to take special measures for
the security of the Hungarians in the
United States, it is quite out of the
question that they will experience an
nOyance or unfavOrable treatment. Also
an view of the belligerents' repudiating
of privateering, there is no reason to
fear Austria-Hungary shipping will suf-
fer from restrictive or illegal treat
ment.
The statement published to the effect
that the American government has de-
manded of Austria-Hungary an uncon-
ditiOnal declaration of neutrality, is to-
tally untrue
