SPANISH REINFORCEMENTS.
Additional Troops Sent Against Ihe
Philippine Insurgents.

Washington, Oct Admiral Dewey
has cabled the navy department that
he has been advised that number of
Spanish troops have arrived at Singa-
pore, bound for the Philippines to re-
inforce the Spanish garrison at Iloilo.
on the island of Panay.
At this place is concentrated about
all that remains of the Spanish army
of occupation of the Philippines outside
of the few troops on the island of Luz
Zon.
In sending troops to the islands the
Spanish government has raised the di-
rect question as to the right to rein
force troops now engaged in active
hostilities with the insurgent forces.
The weight of opinion here is that the
action is permissible, and does not con-
stitute a breach of the terms of the
protocol suspending hostilities. A good
deal, however. may depend on whether
the Spaniards confine themselves to a
defensive position, or undertake to
carry on an offensive warfare against
the insurgents.
The cabinet today gave some consid-
Grafton to this subject, which, in the
end, is likely to be left to the DISPOSE
ton of the peace commission.

SHOCKING CRIME IN KANSAS
WEALTHY TAILOR ACCUSED OF
NUMBERING HIS WIFE.
The Woman Knew She Was Being
band Murdered Their Daughter.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. III. ]. Kunkle,
a wealthy merchant tailor. was arrest
ed here today. charged with having
murdered his wife by poisoning. Mrs.
Kunkle died ten days ago. About four
weeks previous to the woman's death.
Birdie Cominyore, her 14-year-old
daughter by a former husband, died.
after a lingering illness which baffled
the skill of the family physician A
few days before the death of Mrs.
Kunkle she told several of her neigh
bors that she was being slowly poi
soned, and also that her daughter had
been poisoned. When asked why she
did not leave the house, Mrs. Kunkle
replied that she did not feel strong
enough to go, and that she hoped to
secure actual proof of the truth of her
suspicious.
Upon the death of Mrs. Kunkle, her
neighbors brought the case to the at
tention of the coroner, who caused the
state university for an analysis of its
contents. The result of this analysis
was reported to the coroner's jury yes
terday. Strong signs of arsenic were
present, and upon this showing, and
upon the testimony of neighborS of the
Kunkles, the jury today returned a
verdict that Mrs. Kunl1le came to her
death by poison administered at the
hands of her husband. and others to
the jury unknown"
Following the rendering of this YER
dict, KunHle was arrested. The stom-
ach of Mrs. Kunkle's little daughter
has now been removed for the purpose
of analysis. A former wife of Kunkle
died suddenly after her life had been
heavily insured.

absent from duty ON sick leave.
This deficiency in regular medical
officers has made it necessary to en-
ploy more than $50 contract surgeons.
Most of these doctors from civil life are
doing good service and many of them
are thoroughly well equipped physi-
clans and surgeons, with ample hospital
experience, but it has been impossible
to make a careful selection, owing to
the great pressure of business in the
surgeon generals office, and the
urgency has been so great that ii has
not been practicable to have examin-
ing boards to pass upon their qualifi-
cations. I have endeavored, so far as
possible, TO order satisfactory pro-
fessional endorsement before making
contract with an applicant. The num-
Der of applications has been so great
and the personal visits of applicants
and their friends SO numerous as to
constitute a serious embarrassment in
conducting the business of my office.
In addition to this, there have been ap-
pointed by the president eight corps
surgeons, with the rank of lieutenant
colonel, "a division surgeons, with the
rank of major. and Sc brigade surgeons,
also three medical officers, for each of
the regiments of United States in
fantry, cavalry and engineers. All
volunteer regiments have three medical
officers appointed by governors of
states.
The very small proportion of ex-
perienced medical officers has seriously
embarrassed the efficiency of the medi-
cal department, but many of the divi-
sion and brigade surgeons from civil
life have shown great aptitude for the
service and have already become valu-
able medical officers The same is true
of many of the doctors employed under
contract
referring to the alleged deficiency
of medical officers with the fifth army
corps at Santiago, I would say that this
corps upon leaving Tampa had with it

stoned volunteer medical officers and
20 contract doctors, a total of II, or
over four per thousand, of the strength
of the command, which / was informed
was about $1,000. Additional medical
assistance was sent by the hospital ship
Relief which arrived at Siboney, July
Z, with 20 doctors on board. There was
also some volunteer assistance by DR..
Lesser of the Red Cross society, DIR.
of the Swedish navy, and
several surgeons of the navy from ships
in the vicinity.
1T has not been the expectation of
the medical department that every
wounded man would Immediately re
ceive the attention of a surgeon. No
modern army makes provision for such
a large number of medical officers as
this would require, but attached to our
army there is a corps of non-combat-
ants known as the hospital corps,
which is the organized and authorized
Red Cross of the army. At the out
break of the war, we had 800 hospital
CORPS men in service. At present there
are more than 5000. These men wear

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Market Has Been Irregular, With
Restricted Professional Trading.


New York, Oct. 7.-Bradstreet's finan-
oial review will say tomorrow: 1t has
been an irregular market, with restrict
cd professional trading. Most of the
developments including the current re-
ports OF railroad earnings, have been
favorable, but the breaks in the in
dustrial stock list under the lead of
Tobacco last week, and of Sugar stock
this week, have apparently eliminated
public interest for the time being. Lon
don has shown a disposition to purchase
the Pacific stocks, but its transactions
here have had little effect. The increas-
ing ease of the money market seems to
be responsible for the renewed activity
and strength in the bond list, but
neither this nor the continuance of
gold imports seem to revive the flag
ging spirit Of speculation. The Grief
incident has been the weakness of
American Sugar stock on cutting of
prices for the refined article.
The railroads have been neglected,
but some specialties have been active
ly manipulated and advanced. Tobacco
has ceased TO be a leader of the mar
ket. the revelation about the disagree

prehensions about the industrials as

place in the market. Prices for re-
fined have been generally reduced, both
by the American company and the op-
position refineries. until on Thursday
il was understood that graduated
sugar was sold at about AZ cents
pound, which, il is believed, removes
all profit from the refining business.

LIEUT.. LAFFERTY's DEATH
Surgeon Walker Declares He Re
ceiYed Every Attention.


Washington, Oct 7.-Dr. William w.
Walker, the physician who attended
Lieutenant Lafferty in his last illness
at Camp Wikoff, has sent an explana-
ton of his connection with the case to
the war investigation committee. The
letter is dated Oct. =, and was written
from Fort Sam Houston, Tex.
He saws the lieutenant had been
wounded in Cuba and afterwards had
typhoid fever, which was followed by
philebetis. He got better, but after
wards developed pneumonia, The let
ter continues as follows:
DIR. Dellafield, very prominent New
York physician, Colonel Sem, Major
Thompson, Colonel Greenleaf, Captain
Jackson and some other prominent
physicians were called in consultation
on Lieutenant Lafferty's case, and
special nurse was detailed night and
day to attend Lieutenant Lafferty
alone, and an orderly whose duty 1t
was to devote his whole time to Lieu
tenant Lafferty. 1 saw him every hour
during the day. I made my visit to
the ward at p. m. and again from II
10 a. M, and again at $50 a. m. If
anything occurred in the ward 1 was
called and answered cheerfully at any
hour.
After Miss Annie Wheeler left us as
chief nurse, Miss Murray, assistant
nurse, was made chief. She is noble,
fine, hard working, painstaking woman,
who took especial pains to see Lieu
tenant Lafferty needed nothing we
could give him.
Lieutenant Lafferty's was the only
death in the officers ward in three
weeks. I had charge, and no one re-

trary.

found dead in her apartments on
Champa street today. She lay on the
floor. face downward. A twisted towel
was tied tightly around her neck and
there is no doubt that she had been
strangled to death. There is no clue to
the murderer. but the police believe
that the deed was committed by the
same stranger who murdered three
women on Market street in this city in
1894. Shortly after those murders, Mrs.
