MURDER IN A PRISON
Convict at San Quentin Fatally Slabs
a Guard.

San Francisco, May 16.-Jacob OPP
.penheimer, a prisoner serving a life
term in the San Quentin penitentiary
for the murder of a fellow convict
named Ross, at the Folsom state
prison, last night attacked guard
guard named James Mcdonald, stab
bling him five times. The guard will
die.
Yesterday at the Folsom prison, John
Showers, a three-year man, and one of
the best behaved men in the prison, was
stabbed to death by George Putnam, a
lifelong friend of the Majors boys. Re
venge was the cause of the Folsom.
murder Showers having turned states
evidence in the Lloyd Majors murder
case nearly twenty years ago. Abe
Majors is now under a sentence of
death in Utah for the murder of Po-
lice Captain Brown. Archie Majors
was killed by Brown in an attempt to
capture the young desperadoes. Lloyd
Majors and a man named Jewell muir
dered two men in this state twenty
years ago, and were hanged on the
evidence of Showers.
Oppenheimer was a friend of the
Majors boys, but whether the crime of
the Majors had anything to do with
the murder of Mcdonald is not known.
Oppenheimer would have suffered the
death penalty for the murder of Ross,
but the evidence in the case was con-
fiicting, the other prisoners testifying
that Ross attacked Oppenheimer.
Oppenheimer was reprimanded by
Guard Mcdonald for an infraction of
prison rules, and attacked the guard,
stabbing him three times over the
heart and twice in other places. The
guard had no means of defending him
self against the onslaught of Open
heimer, who was subdued by guards
and prisoners who went to the rescue of
Mcdonald. The knife with which OPP
penheimer did the stabbing has not
been found.
Guard Mcdonald has identified OPP
penheimer as his assailant, and has
made an ante-mortem statement accus-
ing him of the assault.
Mcdonald is growing very weak, and
will not live through the night.

NO WORD FROM BROOKE.
War Department Sees No Cause For
Alarm.

Washington. May 16.-General
Brooke has not reported to the war de-
partment any serious situation in Cuba,
and it is not believed at the department
that any alarm need be felt regarding
the condition of affairs. No advice is
given General Brooke. as it has been
the policy of the president TO clothe the
officers in command in the islands with
plenary powers to deal with situations
as they arise, and hold such officers re-
Sponstble.
The confidence of the war department.
in General Brooke was strengthened by
the visit of Secretary Alger to Cuba.
What had been done, and what was go
ing forward seemed to Secretary Alger
for the best interests of all the people
OF the island 1t has been the policy
OF General Brooke to deal mildly with
the Cubans. and avoid any action
which would tend to irritate but to be
firm when 1t is necessary, and the dis
turbers viii be made to understand
that no overt acts will be permitted
Communications that General Brooke
has made TO the war department. re-
garding the situation are not given to
the public, but the officials understand
the source of the present trouble is
that the generals of the Cuban army
are disappointed because they are not
likely to realize as much out of the
money appropriated for the army as
they think they should. These "gener-
ais all believed they would secure a
portion OF the money equal to their
rank and their own estimate of their
services.
The whole trouble regarding the pay
ment OF the money and the delay may
be traced directly to these officers,
who, as members of the assembly. or
as supporters of Gomez, have con-
stantly raised obstacles in the way of
a peaceful disarmament of the Cubans
and the settlement of the affairs of the
Island.
One thing is assured beyond all other
The United States will
remain for the present in absolute con-
-rol of the island. and the orders of the
officers in command will be sustained

PEOPLE ARE PROSPEROUS.
Eow General Henry Found the In
terror of Santiago

Santiago de Cuba, May 16.-Major
General Wood, military governor of the
Santiago department, arrived here yes
terday after his first trip into the in
terror of the province. He went to
Manzanillo by steamer and returned by
overland route, accompanied by Lieu
tenant Matthew Hanna, his aide.
The country traversed he found in a
generally prosperous condition. The
planters are planting cane and expect
a full crop next year. Stories regard
ing bandits seem for the most part to
have been promoted by professional
politicians, who have an interest in
maintaining disturbing conditions
Everywhere General Wood found the
people anxious for greater security. and
the annexation idea is undoubtedly
growing, in spite of all efforts on the
part of agitators to the contrary
Along the whole route he was re-
ceived with enthusiasm, and at sew
eral points with very elaborate ar
engagements to welcome him. Deeora-
ton day services will be held on May
80 throughout the province, particular
ly at Guantanamo and Siboney, as well
as in Santiago.

GENERAL GOMEZ MANIFESTO.
Will Probably Direct All the Forces
to Disband.

Havana, May 16.-The manifesto
which General Gomez is preparing to
issue will not only review his own DO
sition as to the payment of the Cuban
army, but probably will direct the
forces to disband. Following it's pub
LEGATION. Governor General Brooke will
issue modified order eliminating the
necessity for the participation of any
Cuban commander in the distribution
of the $4,000. 600.
The governor general regards Gomez
as having acted sincerely throughout.
and he believes his withdrawal from
participation in the distribution and
his attitude of friendly inactivity" has
been forced upon him by the desertion
of those generals upon whom he had
relied.
Members of the late Cuban military
assembly and other disconnected per-
sons belonging to the new revolution
airy club, styled the Veterans associa-
ton, met at Cerro last night and in
dulged in prolonged debate on the
question of the Cuban troops surren-
dering their arms. One group was in
favor OF entrusting the arms to the
brigade chiefs, or Cuban municipalities.
Another group was opposed altogether
to surrendering the arms, saying it
might be necessary to use them
against American pretensions."
The meeting was presided over by
General Jose Lacret and was attended
by Sanguilly. Andrade. Vidal and Juan
Gomez. Teiegrams from all the prov
inces were read, opposing giving up the

OLD AGE NO TERRORS
Can Be Circumvented BY Discovery
of Chicago Doctors.

Chicago, May 1.-THE Tribune says:
A discovery which, it is claimed, solves
the problem of circumventing old age,
has just been made public by Professor
Joseph r. Hawley and Alex c. Wiener
of the Chicago Clinical school The re-
turn to youth, it is asserted, is pro-
duced by hypodermic injections of the
Emphatic fluid of animals, particularly
young goats. The discovery was made
3 year ago, and subsequently secret
demonstration of its efficiency is as
serted.
The general theory of the discovery
is that if the mineral deposits which
accumulate in the bones in the process
Of life can be replaced with the life
cells contained in the Emphatic
glands of goats, deterioration of the
bones will be prevented, and elasticity
and youth will be retained in the sys-
tenn much longer.
In one of his experiments at the elm
ical school, DR.. Hawley administered
hypodermic injections of the fluid from
the Emphatic glands of a goat to a
dog known to be Il years old. n dag
noSis of a portion of the femur before
the injection showed the bone con-
tanned large deposits of phosphate
carbonate and soda. The dog was
watched carefully for two months,
during which frequent injections of the
lymph compound were made At the
end of that time another diagnosis
showed the larger part of the mineral
deposits had been removed, and the
animal was as lively as a puppy.
A number of human beings, it is said.
have been experimental on in Chicago
in the same way, and with the same
results.
The apostles of the discovery do not
claim that man or woman thus
charged with goats life cells will live
forever, but they say life will be pro-
longed, perhaps doubled.

arms The so-called weakness of Gen
eral Maxine Gomez was contrasted
with Aguinaldo's patriotic courage
NO decision was reached. During the
meeting Colonel Miyores proposed to
send the following telegram to Santi-
ago:
General discomfort. We refuse to
surrender arms. Opinion unanimous. -
General Andrade declined to agree to
the suggestion, saying it would not be
advisable to make such a display of
feeling Instead of the dispatch pro-
posed by Miyores, the following was
sent:
Reunited. Decided to agree to mus
ter out on the basis of the decrease of
former assembly. Announced that
Brooke will modify his decree. Await
to see If satisfactory. Concert with you
in final proceedings"
The vote on this dispatch was 80 in
favor, against sc opposed.
Such meetings as the one just held
at Cerro would be regarded in a less in
fiammatory community as ominous,
and outside observers might think Cuba
is on the verge of instruction. Public
feeling in Havana is certaily excited,
but those whose judgment is worth
most consider the agitation to be super
fetal and to consist merely of phrasings
which will never lead TO an overt act.
Governor General Brooke will go
ahead as inoffensively as possible in
the disbursement of the $4,000 ap-
propriated for the Cuban troops This
cannot begin, however, until next week.
If the Cubans wish to surrender their
arms to the municipalities. all will be
well. The American authorities viii
raise no objection.
