CornnItted

OF Chicago P0iice--NTnrderers Ar.
rested Two Hours After Crime Was
Committed.
CHICAGO. Sept. S-scarcely two
hours had elapsed after Walter F. Koel-
Ter was killed in his room, Saturday
night, when two men were arrested
who, Chief Ripley declares, stabbed
Koeller. Tho men under arrest are:
Herman Hundhausen, % years old, n
telegraph operator, son OF Col. Robert
Hun6hausen, veteran Of the civil war
and a well-to-do proprietor OF q Vine
yard near Hermann. Mo.
Richard Houeck, % years old, q tele-
grph operator and the son OF Henry
Honeck, wealthy wagon maker and
dealer In farm implements OF Hermann.
Both men were schoolmateS and boy
hood companions OF Walter and George
Koeiier. They admit their identity,
but deny any knowledge OF the death OF
Koeller When the men were searched
and their satcheiB opened, the following
weapons were found: One bowie knife
with an eight inch blade smeared with
coagulated blood; six inch bowie
knife, Il FIVE inch dirk, razor and a
revolver: n .Bs callbre revolver and Il
small wooden handled .22 cailbre re-
volver: n heavy billy, two hunting belts
filled with cartridges.
Each OF the men wore one Of the belts
and carried Il revolver. The knives
were in the satohels. Besides the wea-
pons the satchels contained clothing
from which the names had been either
blotted out with Ink or cut out, num-
ber of coarse pictures and dime novels.
HoReek and HundhRusen each had a
quantity Of confederate money In cha
moIs skin pouches hung under the arm
inside the clothing.
The two prisoners were Identified by
the brother OF the dead man as Humid
hansen and H0neck and by Mrs. +. NJ.
Alexander. keeper OF the boarding
house where Koeller lived, as the two
men who cnlled Saturday night and
went to his room. The two men said
the blood which was found on the knife
blade and on HoneCk's trousers came
from dog which Honcok stabbed with
the knife. because the animal attacked
him. The only motive for the murder
that the brother OF the dead mon can
suggest Is that Koeller incurred the en-

PITTABLE PICTURE

OF the Conditions Prevailing at Jo-
hannesburg. ..- Business PRrRlyEed
and Commercial Collapse Imminent.
LONDON, Sept 4.-The johannesburg
correspondent Of the Daily Mail. who
paints a gloomy and pItlabls picture Of
the condition OF things there, says:
''it is almost case OF absolute ex-
odus and panic. Business Is paralyZed,
the prices OF food stuffs ure rapidly ris-
ing, halt the houses arc empty and the
others are tennnted by a people who do
not pay rent, the landlords being GLAD
enough to have them as occupants IN
order to Insure some sort OF protection
to the property.
"The tension has reached the snap
ping point. Bankruptcy and starvation
are staring people In the face. Another
fortnight OF suspense will result In n
complete commercial collapse: The
banks arc thronged with people anx-
Ious to withdraw their gold. and the
railways are besieged by those who

CUBAN OPINIONS

Of thH Census Proclamation OF tho
President.--Some Want a Protector.
ate and Others Favor Annexation.
HAVANA, Sept .s-The consensus In
Havana regarding the census proclaim
alton cannot be ascertained with q rea-
sonable degree of accuracy. When the
proclamation was first made known al
elements were apparently satisfied.
Now the only ones who appear to give
It full approval are Cuban 0filoeholdefs.
These say that the proclamation is the
work Of q master hand and ought to
satisfy everybody. Their outspoken ap-
probation, II there were no other rea-
SON, would cause all other elements 70
suspect the existence OF something
wrong somewhere.
The independents, as the InernbefD
OF the party advocating Independence
are called. say that President Mckinley
should have made some declaration re-
garding absolute Independence for
Cuba. Those who favor an American
profectUTate consider that the proclaim
alton does not offer adequate gllaran-
tees to property and the Investor, The
annexationlsts assert that the proclaim
alton tells literally nothing respecting
President McKInIey's purpose and that
no one Is any wiser regarding the fu-
ture Of the island than before. They,
however, believe that the administration
is inclined to adopt the theory that It
would be impossible Immediately to
turn over the relns OF government TO
the Cubans without precipitRting civil
war.
The alcontents-those who abuse
everything, no matter what, that .
done by the administrnti TO
the proclamation on general principles.
American officials think 1t in every way
diplomatic, and American civilians be-
lleve that there Is nothing to be Wor-
ried about from any point OF view.
As TO foreign capitalists, their opin-
ion Is fairly represented by the pre1i-
dent OF an important railway, who saio
to-day: I'VE do not care what happens.
The United States has assumed spain'g
responsibility in the island and even f
a republic Is established It's officials
would Of necessity obey Warrington
implicitly. II is this conviction thGe
has led English capitalists, and Ger
man also, to invest largely IN the Is
and. American capitRi--I do not see
why-contlnues tir1id. despite the fact
that the United States is pledged be"
fore the world 20 give the Island some
stable form Of government, whether the
realization be soon or late"
Prominent members Of the former
autonomist party intend to form q club
to promate Cuban autonomy under an
American prutectorate. Among tho
promoters Of the movement are some
Of the pricipal men OF the island.

MANILA, Sept. 3.--l0 p. m.-N[any
Spanish prisoners are escaping from the
FillpInos, and bringing into the Ameri-
can lines stories of hard treatment.
They agree that the Filiplnos are ex-
ceedlngly short of ratlons, and that a
large section OF their troops Is reduced
to the use Of homemade black pow
der.
The natives are trying every scheme
to get food and munitions from Manila.
Daily arrests are being made for at
tempts to smuggle contraband of war
through the American lines. In one
case casco, with a cargo OF bamboo
poles, was overhauled, and the poles
were found full OF rice. The insurgents
have wholesome respect for the
British, on account OF several threats
of British wnrships to lombard their
towns unless the rights Of British sub
3ects are respected. Two British Ves-
sells, the Lascon and the Hero, were
driven by stress of weather into the
harbor of Dagupan, the northern ter
minus Of the Dagupan railway. The
crews were imprisoned, but on their
protesting that they were British sub
jects the insurgent authorities permit.
ted one man, Edwards. to come to Ma
Mia, promising to release te crew Of
the Lascon IL Edwards secured from the
British consul at Manila a statement
establishing the identity OF the crew.
A similar concession was made to the
crew OF the Nero. Edwards says he
saw several American prisoners. who
were better fed than the spanlards or
the Filipino soldiers. Moreover, they
were not compelled to work as the
Spanish prisoners are. A force Of M
tive police has begun to patrol the city
of Manila, cooperating with the pro-
vost guard, whose knowledge Of the
language and the resorts Of native
criminals had given them an opportun-
Ity for burglary, an industry which
has been flourishing Of late. The new
force includes many members Of the
old force, and some insurgents who
had grown tired of fighting. It has
already done good work in running
down native criminals.
A Desperate Spy.
Tho American secret service recently
found a Filipino spy in Calambn. He
is supposed to have been the man who
stole four guns belonging to the Wash
ington regimens. He offered desperate
resistance to the soldiers who were sent
to capture him, and tried to run away
with two revolver bullets in his head.
Finally he was brought down by rife
bullet In the hIo. He died after Jump
ing from the stretcher and trying to
run.

tablish posts at Zhmboanga, and in the
islands of Tamtoni, Jolo and Bengao.
