JIMINEZ ARRESTED.
Caught rs He Was Leaving Cienfuegos
Denounced the Arrest.

Havana. Aug. 21.-In view OF the
fact that Colonel Bacallao chief of the
secret police, persisted in his declara-
tion that General Jiminez. the aspirant
to the presidency of Santo Domingo,
was in Havana, either not having or
having returned, the military authori-
ties telegraphed to Cienfuegos, in
struoting Captain Stamper, collector OF
customs there, to ascertain whether
Jiminez was on the Menedez steamer.
and to take him under arrest il that
should be the case. Just as the steam
er was about to leavei Cienfuegos, Cap.
tain Stamper located Jiminez and ar.
rested him. Jiminez denounced the
arrest as an outrage. He said he had
broken no law and would not yield
except to force. Captain Stamper re-
piled that he was ready to use force. il
necessary, and Jiminez then yielded,
remarking that he did 30 because he
could not help himself.
Captain Stamper informed Jiminez
that he would make him as comfortable
as possible, and, after Jiminez and his
secretary had packed their trunks.
they were, driven. accompanied by the
chief of police and Captain Stamper. to
the Union hotel, where two bedrooms
and dining room were placed a: their
disposal. General Jiminez will be
kept under police charge until further
advices are received from the governor.

PUMMELED TO DEATH.
Mcconnell Beat Fransy Unmercif11ly-
Charge of Manslaughter.

Charge Of fManslaughter.
San Francisco, Aug. 21.-The au.
topsy held on the remains of Jim
Franey, the pugilist, who died after
having been knocked out by Frank
Mcconnell on Friday night, showed
that his vital organs were diseased;
that he was in no condition to enter a
ring as principal. ard that he had
been pummeled and beaten to death
by Frank Mcconnell, who was arrested
on charge of mansaughter, and is
now out of Jail on bail.
A similar charge has also been
placed against ]. ]. Groom, ]. d.
Gibbs, promoters of the fight; Hiram
Cook, referee, and the seconds of both
men engaged in the contest. All have
given bonds and are now at liberty.
DIR. j. L. Zabala, the city's autopsy
physician explains the cause of the
pugilist's death as follows: 81 found
severe cont usions on Franey's face,
shoulders and upper arms. There was
a hemorIhage of the brain on the left
side and the organ itself was in an a
anaemic condition. The man must
have received terrible punishment,
and death was nothing more than the
result of the blows which were rained
on his face and head. The impact of
the head on the floor had nothing to
do with it. He was in dying condi.
tion before he fell.
'Franey should never have entered
the ring. An examination of his lungs
showed pleuralic adhesions, and his
system was otherwise broken down. He
was tit for practical purposes in life,
but certainly not for unnatural exer.

PORTO RiCANS IN DISTRESS
Seeds ~ Next Planting and Work lIus
Be Provided.

Seeds ~ Next Planting and Work Mus;
Be Provided.
New York, Aug. 2l.-A dis patch to
the Herald from San, Juan, Porto Rico,
says: Visits to the most distressed
districts of the island prove that the
former reports of terrible conditions
have not been in the least exaggerated.
People in the towns are huddled to-
gether anywhere for shelter. In the
country the people are sleeping in the
open air. The food supplies have been
totally destroyed. Only the well-to-
do can afford to buy provisions.
Unless succor comes in few days
the people will starve. The supplies
from San Juan have not yet arrived at
the towns, but are expected. The de-
pots in many towns are already sur
rounded by large number of hungry
people. The mayors of the towns have
received no authority to dispense
money, but most of them are contribut.
ing generously out of their own pocl.
cts to supply the most urgent needs.
AS far as Caguas and Cayey, the san.
itary conditions are not threatened, but
reports from towns further south state
that their condition is dangerous. The
peril lies in the herding OF the inhab-
itants in the towns. Several of the
soldiers were wounded during the re-
cent hurricane, but it is learned that
there were no deaths aomng them. The
best posted persons agree that it will
be necessary to provide work for the
inhabitants and seeds for the next
planting. An official report form Quay.
mas says that 265 houses we've de-
stroyed, It's seriously injured and 2Ol
damaged by the storm.
In the district surrounding Maya.
guez, scores of women, old men and
children are homeless and begging
shelter and food. The schooner Con.
cepcion, loaded with 200 Porto Ricans
going as emigrants to Samana. went
adrift today. All jumped overheard
and several were drowned. A Maya.
guez paper reminds the public that in
the year lS4l the city was DESTROYED
by fire for two days. the governor was
personally distributing 5000 among
those who most needed it.
In Arroyo 80 per cent of the houses
were demolished by the hurricane. At
the port nothing remains. Many prom.
inent persons in Utuado have signed
an appeal to tie public asking food and
work for the inhabitants. Two thou
sand persons have perished in this
whole district.

Did Dewey Saw This?

London, Aug. 92.-The Naples CORE
spondent of the Daily News telegraphs
the substance of an interview he had
with Admiral Dewey there during the
sdmiral's recent visit. Admiral Dewey
said he believed the Philippine ques'
tion would shortly be solved. In his
Judgment, the inhabitants are capable
OF selt-government, and the only way
to settle the insurrection and to insure
prosperity is to concede it to them.
lie declared that he was never in favor
OF Violence toward the Filipinos, and
remarked that after autonomy had been
conceded, annexation might be talked
OF. When asked whether conflict be-
tween Germany and the United States
over the Philippines were possible,
Admiral Dewey replied. according to
the correspondent:
1T is impossible to foresee the un-
Soreseeable.
