and killed to-day by Miss Lizzie Morse at
her home in West Natick. -Four shots were

demanding admittance without stating their

several windows. Miss Morse went to the
bureau drawer and loaded a 22-calibre re-
volver She claims that the men went
around to the front of the house, where
Perry finished smashing the glass in one
of the windows and climbed in in spite of
her remonstrances.
After gaining entrance he grabbed Miss
Electra Morse and wrenched from her a
croquet mallet with which she tried to pro-
tect herself Lizzie rushed to her assist
ance and Informed Perry that she would
shoot him If he did not leave the house,
He gave her a terrific blow with the mall
let and felled her to the floor.
She managed to get up again and told
Perry to get out of the house, when he
dared her to shoot. She then fired four
shots at Perry, who managed to climb
through the window and then fell dead.

Washington, December H.-When Major

As a result of the correspondence between

trip from Havana to Washington by easy
stages.
General Brooke has been in a tropical cli-
mate for nearly two years, and as ne Is
nearly GA years of age, dt has been deemed
best for the protection of his health to per-
nit him TO accustom himself gradually to
the winter climate of this country by short
stops before coming to Washington.
1t Is therefore likely that he Will not
reach this city much before February !.
1t is said at the war department that has

the war department that the vacancy in
the list of major generals of volunteers

Cuban General Says the Proclamation
of General Brooke Was Ill Advis-
ed-Country Was Naturally
Becoming Comfortable

Havana, December H.-Major General
Leonard Wood, formally took charge of the
governor generals office at o'clock this
morning His first act was to accept the
resignation of the members of the advisory
cabinet by General Brooke. These officials,
after considering the question over night,
had decided to insist upon retiring Their
decision meets with public approval. AL
most without exception they had rendered
themselves particularly obnoxious to ma
iority of the Cubans. One prominent Cuban
general said today:
1.-The only chance General Brooke's secre-
taries have, If they wish to rehabilitate
themselves in the eyes of their countrymen,
is to resign and thus, for a time, bring for
getfulness." The same general, discussing
General Brooke's farewell proclamation,
says: 1.-THE proclamation was i'll advised.
Cuba is bound in the course of time, with
food and without war, to arrive at a state
of comparative comfort. As for the courts,
they are the same corrupt organizations
and are virtually unchanged in any impor-
tant particular. AL this, in my opinion,
most Cubans will testify to-"
The Lucha, contrasting General Brooke
with General Woods advent, says:
general Brooke's proclamation was un-
fortunate as it contained errors. General
Wood, although promising nothing, speaks
volumes by his quiet, democratic manner
of taking charge of affairs. He has captl-
waited every one.'

THE TRUSTS ARE DENOUNCED

New Orleans, December 21.-The demo-
cratic state convention, which met at Baton
Rouge completed its iabors today by the
nomination of the following officers, in ad-
diton to w. w. Heard as governor:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Albert Estopinal.
Secretary of state, john T. Michel.
State superintendent of education, ]. V.
Calhoun.
Attorneygeneral, Judge Walter Gudon.
Auditor, w. S. Frazer.
Treasurer, Ledoux e. Smith,
The platform denounced trusts, and call
ed upon the state legislature and congress
to pass laws for their regulation and sup
preston. Allegiance was declared to the
Chicago platform of 1896. The levee sys-
TEN, the improvement of Southwest Pass
and of western and southern waterways
and the building of an inter-oceanic canal
were endorsed. The administration of Gov
ernor Foster was praised, and the passage
of laws regulating primaries were urged.
The platform concluded:
1--WE congratulate the people that the or
ganic laws of the state have without un-
due political excitment or upheaval been so
amended as to insure the supremacy of
the white race and the salvation of Caucas-
ian civilization in Louisiana, at the same
time that the best interests of all the peo-
pie of the state, both white and black have
been carefully protected"
An attempt was made to provide that
future nominations be made by white pri-
maries throughout the state, but it failed
to get a quarter of the votes in the con-
vention.
The result of the convention is considered
as an administration victory, with the sin
gle exception of Judge Guion as attorney
general, in which the argument that his op-
ponent was a corporation ally was used
with telling effect. The result practically
assures the election of Governor Murphay
j. Foster to the senate to succeed Senator
Caffery. 1t had been conceded that Sena-
tor S. d. McEnery would be reelected, and
the sugar parishes will make strong fight
for him, but his attitude in this campaign
was regarded as anti administration and
there was talk of ex-senator Blanchard en-
tering the list against him.

him to speak to her on the subject. He

out, as he was going west.
She declined and he forced his way into
her apartments and, saying: "See what I
have bought you," drew revolver and
shot her twice, one bullet passing through
her arm, the other entering her side. The

this is because the only cable that is now

General Buffers casualty list at Colenso,
just published, shows that 146 were killed
and 7I6 wounded. Two hundred and twen-
ty-seven are described as missing, and of
these about forty are known to be prisoners
in the hands of the Beers. This makes q

Royal letters, signed by the queen, are be-

bishops of the various dioeeses, authorizing
a collection in the churches throughout
England on January in aid of the fund
for the sick and wounded soldiers and their
families.

preparatio to send out reinforcements.
The various city guilds have given an adj
ditional G12, 900 for the expenses of the I'M

The latest notable volunteers include two
nephews of Lord Roberts, Major Charles
Sherston and Major Maxwell Sherston.
Their brother was killed at Glencoe.
The admiralty have decided to dispatch
another naval brigade of 700 men to the
scene of hostilities. 1t is believed in mob

will have recourse to some extent to the
militia, it being deemed inadvisable to de-
nude the home garrisons over-much.
The chancellor of the exchequer. Sir Mich

met regarding war expenditures.
According to a dispatch from Capetown
there is a good deal of distress in the Or
