ADMIRAL KAUTZ SUSTAINED.

Washington, May at is denied or

Kautz has been advised that the pres
ident supports him in all that he has
done: that he is entirely satisfied with
his conduct. and that the only injnnc-
tion laid upon the admiral has been
to avoid unnecessary slaughter and
bloodshed. This injunction Is not un-
derstaod to restrain the officer In any
way from such military and naval epe-
rations as in his opinion are necessary

derstood that Admiral Kautz is pres

out the treaty obligations as to the IN

OF any one power.
So far no advices have come to either

tragedy came to light here yesterday
when the bodies of Mrs. William Hick-
man and Mrs. H. A. Hassall, clasped
in loving embrace, but both dead. were
found in a room of lodging house, a
bullet having ended the life of each.
Mrs. Hassall had been morbidly in
fatuated with Mrs. Hickman for some
months. Monday night Mrs. Hassall
told Mrs. Hickman that she was going
to start for London yesterday, and
begged Mrs. Hickman to spend the
night with her. Mrs. Hickman con-
scented, and her relatives, growing
alarmed at her non-appearanee yester-
day visited the lodging house and dis
covered the bodies. Mrs. Hassall had
killed Mrs. Hickman and then herself.

called herself a duchess, claiming that
her husband is a duke. She became

PATRIOTISM TO BE REWARDED.
rh. pr.sident,s Admiration for the
Post-yolunteers Who stayed

Washington, May 3.-The president
has assured several of his congresslon-
al visitors from the west of his deep
appreciation of the services rendered
by the volunteers, especially TO those
who had remained with their regi-
ments since the proclamation OF peace.
He has expressed to these senators
and representatives his earnest desire
to reward in some fitting way,the cour-
age and endurance of the volunteers
who had the right to be discharged
upon demand, but who have continued
in the service and materially assisted
in bringing the Philippine war to a

IS CAUSING DISSATISFACTION.
BufOrd With Returning Sol
diers from Porto Rico.

San Juan de Porto Rico, May 3.-The
proposition to send 800 discharged SOL
dicrs to New York on board the Unit
ed States transport Buford is causing
great dissatisfaction here. The ship
has accommodations for only 500, and
already it has 300 recruits on board,
bound for Santiago. The sanitary Of
ficers say that it is unsafe to send so
many menin an overcrowded vessel, and
one which in the inevitable condition
of affairs, is very unclean. Efforts are
being made to detain the Buford until
she can be cleaned and fumigated. Or
ders have been received from Washing
tor that the troops are to be paid en-
route home. 1t is impossible to carry
out this order on account of the scare
ity of paymasters.

tiens which were submitted by the
Filipino delegation, which have not yet
been made public and which give the
officials additional information con-
cerning the situation. The president
expressed the opinion that the end
was in sight, and said he believed that
the Filipinos will not hold out much
longer. He regards the conditions as
most hopeful. The fact that negotia-
tions for peace are in progress has
stepped the calling out of the $4,000
additional volunteers.
