sprang upon her and with his fingers on
her throat bore her 10 the ground The
woman fought desperately, and together
they rolled down the mountain to the edge
of the precipice, where, with a ehasm a
hundred feet deep yawning for both OF
them, the woman's dress caught in some
stout growth and saved both from fall to
death.
The mans body hung half over the edge,
and to save himself he promised to allow
his victim TO go free. Almost exhausted.
the woman got up and started TO run away.
After she had gone safe distance from the
cliff the man ran after her and there was
another struggle. during which the girl
was stabbed in the right leg.
A party of young men, headed by Will
lam Fryberger, who had heard the woman S
cries. came up at this time and Miss Shov-
elm fell senseless. Her assailant fed, but

Harrisburg, Pa, July 22.-It is expected
that two or three of the regiments now in
Cuba will be ordered to Camp Meade for
the purpose of reeuperation. The Cuban
climate has a bad effect upon our
soldiers when they are kept too continuous
ly in service on the island and it is thought
that a change to the North for few weeks
will benefit the men.

HILARY S. STARR.
A Physical Wreck in Military
Hospital at Manila.

LOS ANGELES, Sept a. The
Times" tomorrow will say:
Hillary S. Starr, who so suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared from his
home on the Oak Knoll Ranch, Pasa-
dena, on the night of April 24th, and
under such circumstances as to leave
little doubt in the minds Of his family
and friends and the authorities that he
had met with foul play, is alive, but in
a precarious condition in a military
hospital in Manila. Philippine Islands.
He writes under date of Manila, P.
L.. July Both. to his late employer, S. r
Smith of Riverside. and to his wife, the
letters containing the intelligence that
he is a physical wreck: recites that he
is just recovering from brain fever and
a fractured skull. and asserts absolute
ignorance of the manner in which he
left home. how he came to be enlisted
in the Third Artillery under an assumed
name or how he received his injuries
Starr left his ranch house on the ev-
ening Of April 24th to go to the pump
house several hundred feet from his
residence. From that day he has not
been seen by his family or friends.
Marks of a scuffie We're plainly visible,
and the theory of murder was borne
out by all the circumstances.
The letters received from Manila have
cleared up mystery which completely
baff1ed the detectives of Los Angeles

THE "RECoNCENTRADo."
General Ludlow's Action in Sup
pressing the Paper Approved.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Secretary
Root has approved the action of Cen
eral Ludlow in suppressing the Recon
centrado," a paper formerly published
at Havana.
After the paper had been suppressed
the publisher appeared in Washington
and protested to the Secretary of War
that the action of General Ludlow was
an infringement on the rights of citi-
zenship. The Secretary referred the
whole matter to General Brooke for re-
port, who, in turn, referred it to General
Ludlow. The report of General Lud-
low, indorsed by General Brooke.
was received by the War Department,
and Secretary Root disposed of it with
this Endorsement:
War Department, Washington, Sept.
IA, 1S99.-The 'Reconcentrado' appears
to have been a vile publication. It's
suppression raises no questions of the
liberty of the press. The Government
is bound to protect the community
against indecency in this as we'll as in
other forms. 1t is to be regretted that
the persons responsible for the publi-
cation cannot be criminally punished
THE order of General Ludlow is ap-
proved and the petition is denied.

Allowed Clearance Papers by Brit

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Clearance
papers have been allowed the Tartar

will proceed to the United States at
once.
The information that clearance had
been allowed came in a dispatch to
Adjutant General Corbin this morning
from Colonel Metcalf, commanding the
Twentieth Kansas and the troops
aboard the transport.
1t is supposed clearance papers We're
allowed upon the suggestion of the
British Foreign Office to the British
Governor at Hongkong that it would be
unwise to interfere with American
transports.
Another dispatch from Colonel Met
calf in reply to one sent yesterday
states that the Tartar was no more
overcrowded and that the food was as
good as on other transports leaving
Manila He said the whole trouble
arose among the discharged regular
soldiers who were returning hom on

BoURKE COCHRAN.
Declines to be Drawn Out on Live
Political Topics.

CHICAGO, Sept III prefer to be
an accurate historian rather than an
amateur prophet"
With this terse bit of epigram w.
Bourke Cochran, ex-Congressman and
Tammany orator, dismissed attempts
TO draw him out on live political topics
of the hour and future
AIr. Cochran came from New York
yesterday morning, and was an inter-
ested attendant at all three sessions of
the antitrust conference. Pending
the address he himself expects to de-
liver in Central Music Hall tomorrow
or Saturday, his lips are sealed on the
particular subject with which the con-
Yention is dealing. Other issues he de-
clines to discuss at length.
He said Il share with my fellow
countrymen a variety of views on
trusts, their delights and evils, and I
expect to accumulate more as the con-
ference proceeds. In fact, the speech
/ am billed to make will be based
largely on the information l am able
to absorb from the previous discussion.
The debate of the first days sessions
was extremely interesting. The con-
ference will be productive of much new
light even though it attains no tangl-
BILE results. With such a representa-
tive exchange of ideas, such convoca-
tions in themselves are an important
factor in making trusts an issue in
the political campaigns to follow. But
I have nothing to say in anticipation OF
my address. What l think and feel
viii be stated.
Were the Presidential contest Of
1900 to be fought this week or this fail,
the colonial question would undoubt-
edly overshadow all others. 1t is the
one To which the American public's
mind is most strongly riveted at this

lodges in the shell, and the saliva and
other secretions bathe it day after day,
Just as they bathe the inside of the

ways contains Pearls are therefore
accidents, and not one oyster in hun
dred contains them. The divers work
for days, sometimes for weeks, without
finding a. single pearl, and the only re-
ward of their labor is the shells, which
are worth from to 5 cents each in
the New York market, and from . to D
cents in Panama.
Most of the pearls are small, accord
ing to the growth, and if they could be
left in the water, would grow larger.
Some are minute like birdshot, which
are worth from 81 to SO each. Occa-
sionally they find one as big as a small
pea, which they sell for SD to 500 The
value varies with the size and perfec-
ton. l saw a beautiful, great, black
pear shaped pearl at Mr.. Erhman's that
would have been worth thousands of
dollars but for an imperfection, which
reduced it's value to hundreds. 1t can
be set in a brooch with the fair side out,
like we wear our best manners in COM
pany, and the world at large may ad-
mire it, but every expert will at once
recognize why it was set that way.
All the Panama merchants [ have
named employ diving bells and send
men down to the bottom of the bay to
pick out the best-looking shells, which
are put in baskets and hauled up to the
surface Of the water and dumped into
boats. These men are paid by the
month and work in gangs all day under
a foreman, receiving stated wages and
rations They have no share in the
jewels they find, and it is difficult for
them to steal unless the whole party,

DoBBs LOST ON A FOUL.
Matty Matthews Given the Deci-

NEW YORK, Sept 14.-Bobby Dobbs
of Minneapolis, who recently returned
from a tour of England and Scotland,
where he won several ring battles, met
Matty Matthews of New York at the
Coney Island Sporting Club tonight,
and was disqualified in the final round
of a twenty-five-round bout for foul
ing
Referee George Siler had cautioned
Dobbs three times previously, but had
the foul not occurred IN the last round
Matthews would probably have gotten
the decision, as he outpointed his op-
ponent three to one all the way. DobbS
was decidedly the stronger man for the
greater part Of the journey, but Mat
thews was by far the cleverer boxer,
and from the tenth round took a new
lease of life.
The battle was fiercely fought. Foul
thousand persons We're present and
while the betting at the outset was
even money, 100 to so was freely Of
fered on Dobbs before the men faced
each other
Matthews was the first to lead, and
landed his left on the mouth. and then
walloped his right over the kidneys.
There We're only a few blows struck in
this round
Matthews had all the better of the
second round, but was cautioned by
the referee for holding.
Matthews had it all his own way un-
til the ninth, when Dobbs cut loose.
He staggered Matty with a right swing
on the jaw, and followed this with a
left upper-cut on the face and another
right swing, which brought Matthews
down on one knee. Matthews was up
in a second, and Dobbs rushed and was
all over him at the bell
Matty came up surprisingly fresh in
the tenth round, and the men ham,
mered each other hard for several
rounds. The negro took his heavy pun
ishment gamely.
The New Yorker did some wonder
full work in the twenty second round,
and landed heavy swings on the head
and neck, leading continually, while
the spectators cheered him all the way
In the final rounds Dobbs fought like
a demon to offset Matthews advantage
and rushed his opponent to the ropes.
At close quarters both got to the body
Then Dobbs held one of Matthews
arms under his own, and bringing his
elbow up, hit Matthews.
Referee SiIer jumped between them
and disqualified Dobbs for fouling, and
declared Matthews the winner.
