SIXTH IMMUNES
Volunteers Paid of and Mustered Out at
 Savannah Yesterday. ~

Savannah, Ga., March 15.--The Sixth United States volunteer infantry (white im- munes) was muster out here today. The men were from North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky. The regiment having seen service in Cuba, received two months ad- d1tional pay.
 Each private received an average of $l25. Discharge papers were given at the time the men got their wages. Five special trains, over four roads, left the city to- night. During the day the men behaved excellently. As one train was pulling out tonight there was a liberal discharge of firearms.
 Some of the men in exuberance of glad ness at having escaped military discipline, celebrated by firing pistols into the air and shouting. About 100 shots were fired. No damage was done and no arrests made. Four of the trains left with utter absence of boisterous demonstration. There was @ minimum of drunkenness and no disorderly conduct of any sort in the city.

INSANE MANS DEEDS.
Killed His Wife and Then Suicided-Had
 Committed Arson.

Waco, Texas. March 15.-Ed Bean, at Ble- ton. thirty-fve miles south of here. after night spent in robbery and arson, attacked his wife in fit of jealousy about daylight this morning.
 The woman fled from their home through the principal street of the town, pursued by her frantic husband, armed with shot gun and revolver. The man approached near enough to the fleeing woman to make sure of his aim, when he fired load of shot into her head. As she fell face down he emptied the second barrel into her body, after which he fired a bullet from the pistol into his own head, blowing out his brains. Few people were astir, and the deed was done before any of the horror-stricken spectators could interfere.
 The sound of the shots had scarcely died away when flames were seen issuing from the hardware store of Wilson & Austin, which was totally destroyed with its stock. An examination showed that the weapons used by Bean had been stolen from this store, and he had evidently set fire to the place after obtaining the weapons and am- munition with which to kill the woman.
 The loss on the hardware store and stock is about s25,OO0, with s5,00O insurance.

The meat had disagreeable smell. l made frequent representations to General Grant about the canned roast beef, but he insist ed that the trouble was lack of knowledge on the part of the cooks"
 Witness remembered that the MaSsacnu- setts came to Arroway with lot ot re- frigerator beef on board. and that some Of it was thrown overheard. The complaint about the refrigerator beef was that 1t showed signs of decomposition. Perhaps 50 per cent. of it was thrown away.
 In answer to MT. Gillespie witness stated that he did not eat any of the canned roast beef or any of the refrigerator beef. He bought some bacon and fish. He noticed that the canned beef bore the label of 1,ib- by, McNeill & Libby.
 Major Joseph A. Sanborn, of Chicago, major of the First Illinois volunteers. testi- fled that the canned roast beef was unpal- atable. He inspected the refrigerator beef. Two issues out of three were in fine con dition; the third was condemned because decomposition had set in.
 Cans Had Maggots in Them
 William Replogle testified that he served in the hospital corps in Porto Rico, and that canned roast beef was frequently served to the corps. He had seen three or four cans opened with maggots running out of them Witness sta ted that at Guay- amo he saw a piece of cooked fresh beef which had maggots in it.
 In reply to Major Lee the witness told of the sickness of one Thompson, who had nothing whatever to eat the first day after landing. The second day he was given corned beef and hard tack, but he had no way of making coffee. The man became very sick and died within week.
 After considering in executive session the matter of calling more witnesses, the court took a recess until 9 o'clock.
 At the afternoon session First Sergeant Albert Slavin, of the Seventh United States infantry, testified that some of the men complained that the canned roast beef was not palatable. As to the refrigerator beef some of it spoiled-about half of it-and was buried.

GOMEZ CONFERS
 WITH GEN. BROOKE
Decides to Proceed With Original
 Plans For
DISTRIBUTING or S3,OOO,OO0
Pay of the Cuban Troops on Dis banding Action
 Will be Disregarded.

Havana, March 15.-General Gomez has decided to proceed with the plans agreed upon for distributing the s3,O0O,OO0 to the Cuban troops on disbanding as though the military assembly did not exist. He con ferred for two hours today with Governor General Brooke regarding the details.
 General Brooke asked Washington sever- al days ago whether, in case he dissolved the assembly, his action would be approved The cable reply authorized him to dissolve that body if, in his judgment, such an act was necessary. He hopes the assembly will soon cease of its own accord to hold it's sessions, but should sessions disquieting to the public mind continue, he will intervene.
 Havana is much more quiet today and less excitement is noticeable. This Is part ly due to the fact that the assembly held no meeting. Rumors are current that It's self-dissolution is a matter of the early future. The papers continue to print let ters and telegrams from all points declar- ing adherence to the veteran patriots cause.
 The United States military authorities published the following statement:
 "We are officially authorized to say that the president of the United States will not recognize any obligation incurred by the body known as the Cuban assembly, and that all reports and assertions to the con- trary are absolutely untrue"

Camp, of Talladega, and Coroner Dallas at once wired him for instructions, but as Talla- dega is not a night office the telegram could not be sent until this morning, when it is probable that reply will be received death.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
 OF HOWARD CAMP His LiieltSS Body Found at the Morris
 Hotel. SUICIDE IS SUSPlCl0NED Though No Direct Evidence of This Theory Mas Discovered. HE HAD BUSINESS TROUBLES Letters in His Pockets Indicate That He Was From Talladega County
 and is Brother of the
 Probate Judge.
HE HAD BUSINESS TROUBLES

Howard R. Camp, a travelling salesman. who Is thought to be the brother of Plo- bate Judge ]. E. Camp of Talladega coun- y. was found dead in his room at the Nor ris hotel at O clock last night, and while 1t is supposed that he suiclded by taking drug, there was nothing to indicate pos itiveiy that he mad taken his own life.
 Camp registered at the hotel on Mon- day evening, writing the word city" after his name, and was assigned to room No. 75. He paid for the room in advance, and at 5:30 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon noti- fled the clerk to hold the room for him un- til lO o'clock, stating that 1t was possible that he could not get away as he expected. He retained the key to the room and walked out toward the First avenue en- trance. This was the last time he was seen alive by the employees of the hotel. At 10 o'clock that nignt not having been other- wise notified, the clerk re-registered Camp in the same room, supposing that he would retain it..
 Yesterday when the chambermaid tried to get into the room to c.ean 1t up she could not do so, and, as is customary, re- ported the fact to the office. Nothing was thought of the matter, as it was a fre- quent occurrence. When the night clerk came on duty last night he found MT. Camps name still in the rack, and made some inquiries concerning him. The fact that the room had not been cleaned up was taken into consideration, and the mat ter was reported to MT. Lee, the manager, who went to the room to make personal investigation.

LEAVES HARVARD.
Vanderbilt is Going to Work With
His Father

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 12.-William K
Vanderbilt, Jr., will not return to Har-
ward. He has not come back from the
Christmas vacation, and the announce
ment that came today of his decision not
to return was not a surprise. The rea-
son is understood to be that his father
wants his assistance in the work of the
Vanderbilt system. Since the illness of
Cornelius Vanderbilt the brunt of the
work has fallen on William K. Wander
after his years college work. His en-
gagement to Miss Fair has changed all
married in three or four months.
William K. Vanderbilt, Jr.. was the
business editor of the Harvard Advocate
and along with G. C. Griffith, the bust
ness manager, he made a paying venture
out of what seemed a hopeless financial
loss. He was member of the Polo club
in his freshman year, and of the Alpha
Delta Phi fraternity. This year he was
elected to the Institute of ITO and the
Delta Kappa Epsilon.
