Havana, March 21.-The excitement
growing out of the conflict between
the police and populace is rapidly sub
siding and it is not likely that there
will be further trouble. The mob has
been taught a lesson which will prob
ably prove sufficient. The law break
eTs now fear the police and realize the
latter will not tolerate resistance to
their authority. During the ARRAYS
of Saturday and Sunday police were

populace 5 were killed and between
so and 20 wounded, some fatally.
Sixty arrests were made. The statue
of Isabel II, which stood in Central
park, was removed Monday by order
of the city council During the re-
moval there was little excitement
and several persons called upon the
crowd to destroy the statue But this
was prevented. For the present the
statue will be stored in a warehouse.

Her maiden name was Garretson, but
she had been married to a man named
Savacoll, now dead. As long as she
was housekeeper she was extremely
kind to Places daughter, Ida, but she
became quite different person when
Place married her. She was possessed
of an ungovernable temper which led
to frequent quarrels with Ida, and
Mrs. Place was very much embittere1
because her husband took the young
woman's part. Another cause OF fam

have his wife's adopted son live with
them. The woman was much inferior

NOW ON JEKYL ISLE
PRESIDENT AND PARTY AT
HANDSOME RESORT.
SPEAKER REED THERE TOO
Visit of Two Political Rivals at the
Same Time Has No Significance,
Say Those Concerned-President
Given a Warm Welcome When He
Arrives at Brunswick

Brunswick, Ga, March 21.-Presi-
dent Mckinley rested last night on
Jekyl island, at the beautiful winter
club home of number of eastern mil
lionaires on st. Simon's sound, ten
miles up the coast from Brunswick.
With him were Mrs. Mckinley, Vice
President and Mrs. Hobart, and Sena-
tor Hanna. They are guests of ex-
Secretary of Interior Bliss, whom the
president promised to visit last sum-
mer. In another cottage on the is
land is Speaker Reed. All the persons
in any way concerned in their presence
at Jekyl island assert positively and
unreservedly that the visit of the two
rival political leaders at the same time
is a mere coincidence. The speaker
probably will leave Jekyl this after
noon or tomorrow and the presidential
party tomorrow forenoon. When the
president arrived here in the
afternoon from brownsville he
was welcomed by ex-Secretary
Bliss, Author Thomas Nelson
Page, Cable Promoter J. A. Scrymsel
and Coal Operator Joseph Stockney OF
Philadelphia, who with Mayor Akin
son and Former Mayor Crovatr, es-
corted the president to Jekyl island
Late in the afternoon the president

BRYAN MAKES IT ALL PUBLIC
Correspondence Between Himself and
Perry Belmont.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 21.-W-
J. Bryan yesterday gave out to the
Associated Press the correspondence
which recently passed between him
and Perry Belmont, president of the
Democratic club of New York, in re-
gard to the JeffeTsonian banquet to be
held by that organization April IL.
The correspondence includes Bel
mont's letter of invitation to Bryan
to speak at the banquet, the letters
answer asking whether Belmont had
returned to the principles of the Chi
cago platform, and Belmont's reply,
stating that individual opinions were
not considered in issuing the invita-
tons Bryan's final reply, refusing to
attend, was somewhat lengthy. He
says in part: Jefferson stood for
certain well-defned principles. If
your views are a moral reflection OF
his ideas, l fear my voice would sound
a discordant note at your banquet"

nap, Mrs. Place split her skull open
with an axe, and poured vitrol on her
face and into her mouth. The same
evening the woman lay in wait for her
husband, William W. Place, in the
iarkened hallway of the house, and
when he entered she struck him in the
face with an axe, inf1icting a serious
wound. He managed to get outside
the front door and alarm the neighbors
before he became unconscious. When
the police and neighbors entered the
house they found Mrs. Place in bed

she was shamming Inconsistencies
