Failure f 'ftommissary Department.
The inability OF the cOmmissary train
to keep up with the aCvance led to con-
siderable suffering, and many of the men
were completely exhausted when they
were recalled, and, falling from the ranks,
were strung along for a distance of al
most six miles, hunters returning to
camp in artillery amDUiances, which were
always close up to the lines. The work of
the ambulances was especially worthy of
mention.
Among the dead are several who pre-
viously were reported as wounded. Yes
terdays casualties were as follows:

KILLED HIS FIVE CHILDREN
Father Stabbed Them in The Neck
and Set Fire TO the House.
While the Building as Still Burning He

Theory of Insanity Not Borne
Out by His Action.

Hutchinson, Kan, March 20-An afro
ciOuS crime vas revealed here to-day
when the COTOTeT and his assistants re-
moved the dead bodies OF five little chill
dren from the house occupied by John
Moore, which burned al an early hour. 4
C0rOners jury investigated the case and
in accordance with the jury's returns,
Moore, the father of the dead children,
Y as arrested On a charge Of murder. The
tragedy has caused much excitement
here, and there is some talk of lynching
the prisoner. However, a lynching is not
looked for.
When the fremen and neghbors reach
ed the burning house the father Was the
only member Of the family Of seven found
outside. His actions vrere queer. and he
would not talk. While the building was
still burning and his children were within
the burning walls. he Took a horse from
his stable and ICde away.
When the fremen entered the house
after having partly quenched the names
they found the five children lying side
by side IN a bed on the floor all deal
but not badly burned. The skull 4 each
child was deeply indented, and from the
dents long fractures extended Ali bug

smoke. and that he found the aOuse afire

started IN the room in which they were

he explained by stating that his wife
was away from home attending a sick
friend and that he went 10 tell her of

when The jury returned the verdict charg-
ing him with murder.

Number About Eighty sight of
Spanish Banner Excites Crowd.

Havana, March 20.-The excitement
growing out of the conflict between tie
police and the popu.ace is rapidly sub
siding, and it is not likely that there will
be further trouble. The mob has been
taught a lesson which will probably prove
sufficient. Law breakers now fear the pO-
lice, and realize that the latter will not
tolerate resistance to their authority.
During the ARRAYS Of Saturday and yes
terday three policemen were killed and
about fifteen wounded, while of the popu-
lace five were killed and between sixty
and seventy others wounded some so seri-
