CONFESSION OF A PARENT.

New YORK, Oct. 31.-Nicholas Jack
son of Hackcnsack, who was sent to
Trenton prison to serve ten years for
causing the death of his 6-year-old son
Louis, confessed to Sheriff Herring and
Deputy Sheriff jackson while they
were on their way to Trenton from
Hackensack with the prisoner. On
this information hIrs. jackson is held
an accessory to the murder of her
stepson. Here are Jackson,s words to
the sheriff:
'My wife, whom had only recently
married, did not like Louis, my little
boy, and we had many quarrels about
him. She helped me to plan the muir
der, and 1 was to put the boy on the
tracks. / went to Teaneck and stood
near the West Shore railroad track. l
was afraid to put the youngster on the
tracks alive for fear he would get off,
SO l struck him in the stomach with an
iron bolt and that made him uncon-
scious. Then put him on the track
Just below the crossing and waited for
a train to come along. When l was
convinced that he was dead l went
home / fixed up the story about my
leaving the boy asleep on the hill near
the tracks to save my life. The jury
believed me and found me guilty of
manslaughter, thinking that Louis
walked on the track and was struck by
a train. / got off dead easy"

THE KAISER IN JERUSALEM

JERUSALEM, Oct. 31.-The approach
of their German imperial majesties to
the city was made through triumphal
arches, and amid banners, garlands
and ever growing crowds, displayin g
in every way their enthusiasm and de-
light.
The formal entry through the Iaffa
gate was heralded by the roar of guns
at the CITADEL where the Turkish band
played the German anthem.
From the tower of David Emperor
William and Empress Augusta Victc-
ria proceeded on foot, amid wild cheer
ing, to the Church of the Holy Sepul'
chre, where they were received by the
Catholic, Greek and Armenian clergy,
whose patriarchs presented addresses
eulogizing the devotion of Emperor
William, who has since conferred dec
orations on the patriarchs.
The imperial pair attended service
at the Evangelical church in Bethle'
hem, afterward paying visit to the
Church of the Nativity.

General Sanger Testtfies.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. 4.-The first
witness before the war investigation
commission was General Joseph P.
Sanger, who has had command Of the
third division. He said the second
division camp at Chickamauga was
badly located being in rocky ground
where sinks could not be deeply dug.
When asked why the quartermasters
department could not furnish articles
necessary for supplying the army,
General Sanger said: 1.-The complex
system of furnishing supplies to our
army is at fault. If there was one de-
partment to supply all wants of the
army there would be no clashes and
these complications could not arise.
At Chicl1amauga the control of my
division hospital was taken from me
and given to the chief surgeon of the
corps
II believe General Brooke tried to
do all he could to bring the camp to a
good sanitary condition, but he was
surrounded by medical board which
did not appreciate the serious condi-
tion of affairs. DIR. Huidekoper espe-
cially thought DR.. Griffith was un-
necessarily alarmed. DR.. Griffith in
sisted that case diagnosed as typhoid
malarial fever was in realty typhoid
fever. He examined Chickamauga
creek where the intake was located.

FRANCE GROWING ALARMED.
The Country Not Prepared For lad
Fashoda Not Worth War.
NOBODY WANTS A CONFLICT.
England's Naval Activity Causes Pessi-
mistfc Comments From the Ps=is Pa
pers-Coa1 Bought in Philadelphia
for the British Ships.

PARIS, Nov 4.-France is regarding
England with anxious eyes. Every
thing indicates the warlil1e spirit pre-
vailing across the channel. All the
journals record the British naval prep
arations with pessimistic comments.
Nobody here desires war. In the first
place, Fashoda is not worth it. In the
second place, France is not ready. If
force is resorted to it will be England
that insists upon it.
The Temps even advocates the avoid
ance of struggle at any cost.
France" it argues, fought to con-
slider her interests and those of civil
lzation, both of which forbid an ap-
peal to arms. She ought to preserve
her dignity by imparting a new char
actcr to her relations with the United
Kingdom. Some victories, either
diplomatic or otherwise, are dearly
purchased By abusing a momentary
advantage the risk is run of determin
ing the general direction of interna-
tlonat politics in sense quite opposite
to the real interest of the country
which seems to triumph.
This means presumably that Eng
land is in a strong position, but that if
she pushes France too hard she risks
bringing about an European coalition
against her everywhere abroad.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-The proba-
bility of war between England and
France received fresh impetus here
yesterday by England's purchase Of a
large amount of American coal for i'm
mediate delivery at her West India
naval stations. The first shipments
are to be sent to Kingston, to be fol-
lowed by vessels to Bermuda and De-
merara, the principal points in the
West Indies subject to Great Britain.
It is also proposed to discharge part
Of the purchase at st. Thomas, Dan
ish island, where hullzs will be used.
HONG KONG, Nov 3.-Extraordinary
activity has prevailed in naval and
military circles here during the last
Few days. The British first class
cruiser Powerful has just taken on
board over 2,o0qtons of coal and all
the other British warships here are
= stores and ammuni-
tfcra It is reIorted that they have
been ordered to be ready for sea i'm
mediately.
The British second. class cruiser
Bonaventure has been recalled from
Manila and arrived here last night.
She is now coaling with all possible
haste.
1t is reported that British gunboats
have been ordered to rendezvous here.
At the navy yard the ordnance depart
ment is most active and is engaged in
mounting siege guns.

Not Properly Supplied.

SANTIAGO DE CuBA, Nov. 1.-The
United States transport Port Victor
was to have left yesterday at noon fol
the United States with number OF
sick officers and men. Fortunately,
just before the hour fixed for her de-
parture, General Wood, military gov
ernor of the department of Santiago,
went on board. To his amazement, he
found no provisions specially suitable
to sick persons, an entire lack of deli
cacies and an insutficiency of medical
supplies.
General Wood declares that here
after he will pay a personal visit to
every transport before it leaves the
harbor. He thinks it very strange
that, after all the experience had here
in this line, the medical department is
not able to manage it's affairs better,
and that the personal supervision of
the commanding general should be ne
cessary.

PARIS, Nov. t.-The Echo de Paris
to-day expresses strong approval of
the speech delivered at Worcester,
Mass. by Senator Hoar, in which he
denounced the so-called policy of
American extension. The paper men
toned quoted the speech fully and re-
marks that all American POLITICAL men
apparently do not agree with the pol
icy of conquest.
The Echo also says: "The peace ne
gotiations have reached very critical
point. Up to yesterday the Spanish
delegates had received no definite in
structions from Madrid Will the Span
ish government accept the American
proposition? We doubt it.
The Petit Bleu remarks: "The Span
ish delegates, for whose sad condition
one must feel pity, had for moment
the illusion that Europe would inter
vene and defend the interests OF Spain.
They must have lost this illusion by
now American diplomacy has played
its part with great cleverness and has
from the outset gained an extraordin-
ary position. At the present moment
the United States is taking advantage
of the hatred against England, which
is growing upon the continent, and Of
fers it's neutrality if Europe will leave
the United States a free hand with
| Spain.
besides, Europe really has no in
| terest to interfere. The various
European governments foresee what
will inevitably come if the United
States restores the Philippine islands
to Spain. AS soon as Spain should
have proved her inability to quash the
revolt Germany would offer her inter
ested assistance and Immediately the
covetousness of French, English and
Russian diplomacy would provoke in
ternational intervention, which would
raise quarrel of exceptional gravity.
SAT the present moment it is be-
cause something Of the sort might hap
pen that the attitude OF Europe in
general towards the Spaniards and
Americans is as follows: Come to
some agreement about the price Of the
Philippines; make concessions on
either side, but, whatever you do. be
quick about it. There are plenty OF
troubles floating round just now upon
the political horizon without pro
lonration of these dangerous negotia>

LONDON, Nov 4-The situation re-

French ambassador, who on Tuesday
saw Sir Thomas Sanderson, permanent
under secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, was absent from Lord Sails
bury's reception yesterday.
The special dispatches from Paris re-

the evacuation of Fashoda is accepted
in principle, but that other stations
in the Bahr- Ell Ghazal region will be
maintained.
A se1ni-official note, issued last even
ing, relative to the reports of settle
ment of the Fashoda question says:
THE matter is substantially in the
same position as when the blue book

is not anticipated that France will
take further action until Major Mar
chand's arrival at Cairo on Thursday
when explanations will be forthcom-
ing as to his reason for leaving Fa-

ACTIVITY IS NOT ABATED
Warlike Preparations Still
Progressing.
THE RUSH AT SANDY HOOK

twenty New Mortars Soon to Be Re-
ceived and InstalIed-More Ammu-
milton for Brooklyn Navy-Yard.
New York, March 5.-There is a
continuance of unwonted activity at
the New York arsenal. The shipping
of shells and other projectiles, to the
Notifications about the harbor con-
tinues. AT army headquarters there
are no new developments, and no or
ders out OF the customary routine are
expected. 1t is said that battery of
20 l2-inch mortars will be soon re-
ceiyed at Sany Hook for testing before
they are forwarded to the points Tor
which they are destined. There are
number of unmounted guns at the
proving-grounds awaiting the contsruc-
tion of carriages. The supply OF am
munition has been increased in all the
magazines, and is so arranged that it
can be made Immediately available.
The men at the posts seem much
more pleased at the work they have to
do than when the guns lay idle and in
a condition unfit for active use. AT
Sandy Hook, however, there is slight
complaint among the men, who say
that too much work is expected of too
small a force.
A large consignment of ammunition,
including powder and proiectiles, is
ready for shipment at the ordnance de-
partment in the Brooklyn navy-yard.
Commander Swift, who has charge
of the department, superintended the
work of packing. Commander Swift
has received instructions from Wash
ington to forward the supplies as soon
as possible to Key West, whence they
will be distributed among the United
States war vessels now in that neigh
borhood. When asked if the consign-
ment was not an unusually large one,
Commander Swift replied that it is
not, and that when it had been divided
up between the several ships none OF
them will have more than the regular
complement in her magazines. Many
of the projectiles are for guns of large
caliber.
AS yet no information has been re-
ceived as to what disposition is to be
made of the guns which have recently
been shipped to the yard from Washing
ton. These guns are of different sizes,
and as neither the Chicago nor the At
lanta, which are being overhauled at
the yard, will be ready to receive the
guns for at least six months, it is ru-
mored that they are for auxiliary yes.

A Portland Mans Opinion.

Portland, Or, March 7.-Northwest
territory officials have taken the initi-
ative in the contest for possession of
Summit lake, by raising the Canadian
flag on its shores. This lake, according
to DR.. Horace R. Littlefeld, one of
the best-posted men regarding Alaskan
affairs on the coast, is situated, as it's
name implies, at the summit OF White
pass, about l6 miles from Skagway.
Both the United States and Canada
claim it, and the dispute regarding it
has engendered bitter feelings between
Americans and Canadians in Alaska,
which have rapidly increased in inten-
sity OF late. The American claim to
the lake is generally considered to be
quite as well founded as that of Cam
ada, and the action of the Dominion
officials is premature, il not wholly un-
justified.

PROCTOR FULLY POSTED.
Has Seen the Darkest Side of the Cuban
Situation.

Havana, March ga naval officer
here today, in reply to a suggestion that
it was a pity such an important decision
as the verdict of the court of inquiry
into the Maine explosion should rest
solely upon the testimony of divers,
who seemed men of only average intel.
ligence, replied:
"The court of inquiry has not had to
depend upon divers testimony alone" !"
Then, realizing that he had said more
than he intended, the officer resumed
his habitual reserve. 1t is believed that
the testimony of Lieutenant Com
mander Wainwright was highly impor-
tant as bearing on the question of the
existence of submarine mines.
Senator Proctor has seen much in a
short time, and there is good authority
for saying that he will make the results
of his observations known in strong
speech in the senate on his return to
Washington. Senator Proctor, however,
said to correspondent:
Certainly peculiar state of affairs
exists. Residents of Matanzas told me
that if l wished to correspond with
General Gomez they would send my
letter to him and have an answer back
in q short time"

Spain Bought Two Cruisers.

London, March Spain has pur.
chased two cruisers which the Arm
strongs have been building for Brazil,
the Amazonus and her sister ship, I'M
named, of 1000 tons each, 23 knots
and 10 guns. Spain is also negotiat-
ing for and will probably secure two
cruisers of similar type which have
been building in France for Brazil. The
Amazonus is ready for launching, and
Eer sister ship will soon be ready
The Spanish government is also en-.
deavOring to secure guns and large
supplies of ammunition in England
and the Continent for immediate use.
The government of Spain seems to
have funds, for it is understood to be
paying large part of the purchase
money in cash, giving good security
for the balance, these being the only
terms upon which the Armstrong;
would deal.
