In SELF DEFENCE.
Probable Plea OF Murderess Cap.
turcd at Portland.

Portland Me, Feb. Mrs. Lizzie
Provencher, who on Tuesday murdered
Annie Cox, who was acting as house,
keeper for her husband at Rochester n.
H.. was captured in this city yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs. Provencher arrived in this city at
1920 Tuesday night on Pullman. At
ter leaving the station Mrs. Provencher
says she went to the Jefferson hotel,
where she spent the night. She re-
mained in her room during the morning.
and it might have taken tho officers some
time longer to locate her had she not left
the hotel and returned to the Union
station. presumably with the intention
Of getting still further away from the
scene of her crime.
When Mrs. Provencher came into the
station she entered the ladies' toilet
room. After entering the toilet room
she entered a closet and remained there,
evidently hoping in this way to escape
detection. When Officer Johnson ar
rived lady was sent into the toilet room
and told to open the closet in which Mrs.
Provencher was concealed. Mrs. Proven
cher then came out and sat down in
chair. The officers promptly entered
the room and placed her under arrest.
On seeing Deputy Sheriff Miles Mrs.
Provencher called him by name and did
not appear to be greatly surprised. She
made no resistance whatever. nor did
she attempt to deny her identity. She
asked no questions. for she was fully
aware of the motives which led the OFF,
GERS to place her under arrest
Before leaving Rochester, Mrs. Proven.
cher had said that she would not be taken
alive and would shoot the first man who
tried to place her under arrest, and this
caused the officers to be trifle cautious,
and they determined not to give her an
opportunity to carry out her threats.
She was Immediately searched by Off
Ger johnson, and in her stocking was
found the revolver with which she had
killed Annie Cox. Every chamber was
loaded. and she also had box of cart
ridges in her possession.
The officers at once took her to the sta
ton and locked her up. She had very
little to say after her arrest, but was
willing to inform the officers as to the
manner in which she reached Portland
She stated that after the shooting she
went to Somersworth and then to Dover,
where she had supper. Late in the even
ing she boarded train at Dover and
went to North Berwick. where she took
the train for Portland.
A reporter attempted to obtain an in
terv.ew with Mrs. Provencher. but she
refused to talk. When asked if she
would not make some statement, she re-
piled: NO: l have nothing to say not
IL word Then she placed her hand
kerchief to her eyes and cried.
After the prisoner was locked up there
was discussion among the various out
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1899-02-04

his anxiety to have the treaty ratified
had been made so evident, for he could
not possibly do anything that would go
farther towards cncompassing the dis
organization and defeat of the Republi
can party than to make certain the rati
ication of the pending treaty.
Mr. Hoar devoted the greater part of
his reply to II defense of Aguinaldo.
whom he compared to simon Bolivar, tn,
South America patriot. 1t would be re-
membered, he said, that Bolivar also had
upon occasion taken upon himself the
title of dictator, and yet who, on this
account, could accuse the Boiiv ian liber-
tor of being false to his people or to their
aspirations for freedom? Aguinaldo
had so far shown himself to be shrewd
and able leader. and he had not by any
act of his shown himself to ha incapable
of the highest degree of leadership.
During the course of his remarks
Senator Hoar said. that, the argument
had been advanced that the United States
should be near at hand to participate in
the predicted partition of China. and
proceeded to say that the argument in
dicated disposition to grasp even more
territory than had yet been taken Such
a policy, he thought. should be nipped
in the bud. as he was very confident that
the people of the United States would
not profit by joining the European pow
ers in their efforts to distribute among
themselves the possessions of this an
rtnt empire.
This last remark brought Senator
Davis to his feet. While his name had
not been mentioned it was evident that
Mr.. Hoar alluded to remark of the
Minnesota senator. The latter said he
had not advocated any participation by
the United States in the process of dis
memberment, but that he had only al
luded to its probability. and had said
merely that the United states should be
On hand to protect their own interests.
For a few minutes in the open session
Of the senate yesterday afternoon it
seemed that vote might he taken on
one or more of the resolutions relating
to expansion that are pending before
that body. An unusually large attend
ance of Republican senators was pres
ent in the event of u critical vote on the
pending question.
Mr.. Bacon (Ga) had called up his reso-
luton and Mr.. Chandler IN. H. had
withdrawn his motion to refer them to
the committee on foreign relations. Mr..
Sullivan (Miss.) had entered a motion to
substitute his resolution for those of Mr..
Bacon, while Mr. Davis, chairman of the
foreign relations committee. had an
nounced that he was willing that vote
should be taken Immediately.
AS it was evident. however, that a vote
on the resolutions and amendments
could not be taken before . o'clock-the
hour fixed by unanimous consent for the
senate to go into executive session-Mr.

cussed at Doctors Meeting.
Albany. Feb. l.--At the meeting of the
State Medical society here yesterday
one of the most important papers read
was that of DR.. ]. II. Pryor of Buffalo on
The relation of the state to the con-
sumptive. with special reference to pre-
vention and state care of the incipient
ronsumptive.'
The doctor urged strongly the immedi-
al, adoption by legisla tion of preventive
measures against consumption. OF
these measures he considered isolation
the most important. Segregation of all
tuberculous patients where absolute isO-
lation was impossible and special hos
pitalS near large centerS of population
he thought the best method of caring for
advanced cases.
Other means of checking the disease
We're the registration of cases. inStruc-
tions to the patient or relatives, inspec-
,i"n OF food supplies destruction of ex-
pectcratirn, prohibition of promiscuous
splitting. and disinfection.
Regarding the proposed establishment
by the state Of a consumptive sanitarium
in the Adirondack region. DIR. Pryor
spoke enthusiastically. He declared 1t
the states duty to care for the incipient
consumptive. no less than for the insane.
the feeble minded and the cpileptc. while
the danger Of infection to the healthy in
habitants would be checked by the
prompt segregation of such cases.
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1899-02-04

Havana, Feb. THE members of the
military administration believe that
the Cubans demands should he checked,
and that the Cuban army should not
be paid the vast sum demanded. 1t
IL considered that from 100000 900 to S6.
900, 900 is the most the United states
should allow. 1t IL declared that since
Jan. / the Cubans have had practically
everything they wanted. The United
States government has been feeding all
the hungry: 100000 rations hs We been
distributed and another million have
been ordered. The Cubans have been
given all the civil positions, and thOus-
ands of laborrrs have been employed.
When they are not pleased at anything
they promptly petition as in the case
Of the BancO Espanola and the collection
of taxes. The most vOciferous petition,
so to speak. was presented to Robert
Porter for the payment of the Cuban
army. The idea that the American
government has enormous resources at
it's disposition in Cuba is growing, as
the people perceive that every request
they make ia granted.
All this is imprcssing itself very
forcibly upon liz" Americans at Havana,
who feel that the policy of the military
administration and of the authorities at
Washington is too lenient much to-"
generous and will result in rendering
strong corrective measures necessary
in the early future.
The American generosity in the mat
of is SiponI,-
demnralizes the recipients. Long fed
at the expense of the United States.
these people will not look for work.
Moreover, the payment of good ocmpen-
satiOn to the city and rural police and
workn,cn in government employ is said
to he responsible for the strikes re-
ported from all parts of the island, es-
pecially in the country districts where
the laborers demand increases which the
farmers are not able to pay. Political
agitatOIS do all in their power to spread
the impression that nothing is too good
for the cubans at the hands of tho
United states.
If this too lax and over generous
policy is persstently followed up, the
demands and expectations of the Gu
bans. it is predicted. will increase in
unreasonabeness, and the longer the
United states government is indulgent,
the greater the opposition will he to the
ultimate cOercive measures that may
become necessary If the Cubans re-
fuse the $3,000,000 or any other reason
able sum for the payment of the Cuban
army. Good judges here are convinced
that the United States ought to insist
upon immediate disarlning and disband
ing without pay. The time and the con-
ditions are propitiOus to take the neces-
sary stand.
Mobile, Feb. 2.-Hon Hannis Taylor,
ex-minister to Spain, gives the following
interview on the Cuban situation, hay
ing just returned fom visit to Cuba:
while i'm Cuba upon purely private
business. l came in contact with the
leaders of every faction into which the
population is now divided. The eX-
tremes of opinion are represented on

chiefs, demanding immediate and ah-
