Meeting Roland b. Molnoux with tho murder
OF Mrs Katharine j. Adams had been found in

has charge OF the MolineuI case. said last
night that so far as he knew no new letters
had been found in that part OF the country,
but he had reason to believe that a letter
signed "A. ]. Morgan" was received by
Dr. D. A. Williams OF East Hampton,
Conn. some time ago. The letter aske
that a certain patent medicine be sent to 15a

The Detention Of the Tartar n Part Of Their

The Detention of the Tartar Part Of Their
Scheme to Annoy This Govern ment.
WARRINGTON. Sept. Is. 1t was learned to .day
that the officials OF the War Department do not
propose to allow the Tartar incident to drop
without further Investigation. The reports
from Gen. Otis and Col. Metcaf Of the Twen-
tisth Kansas Regiment. indicate that there 10
an anti-American influence at work In Hong
Kong. and army officers suspect strongly that
the plan OF having the Tartar detained
originated at the headquarters OF the
enemies Of the Administration. So strong
10 this suspicion founded that 1t was
stated authoritatively at the War Department
to-day that when the Tartar arrives in San
Francisco the oftlcer son board will be asked
to submit to the Secretary Of War . detailed
account OF the affair
War Department officials regard the Tartar
incident. however. as only one OF many efforts
to nuoy and EN- barrass the Administration In
ito efforts TO suppress the instruction. In
formation from different sources has reached
the Department regarding the movement
OF the Agunaldo adherents. and II is
alleged that some OF their recent actions in
Hong Kong points to the belief that head
quarters has been established there for the
purpose OF causing tho Government trouble
whenever possible and arousing dissatisfao-
ton among the troops.
In its Investigation Of the cause OF the Tar
tar's detention the War Department has ascer-
tanned that rumors were current in Hong
Kong for several days before the transport ar
rived there that some scheme to prevent her
from proceeding would be tried. prominent
official OF the Department told THE Sun re-
porter that this. at least, showed an Intention
on the part OF people in Hong Kong 10 embar-
rass the United States.
