these things after having relieved his
deputy, Gately, from So delicate a task
as 4 natural causes death. so that he
could engineer things himself.
All things being ready, no reporters in
sight and no deputy to make a report
that might be awkward. Coroner Hill
| brought on DR.. Guido Caglieri to per
/ form the autopsy. DIR. CagHeri said
/ last night that, even before he put a
knife to the body. ii appeared to be the
general belief of those present that the
girl had died from natural causes. He
examined her liver and found that it
was abnOrmally enlarged. which COndi-
ton, he says, betOkened the drinking of
aromatic liQueurs. He found also in
fammation of the stomach. which. be-
trayed the same habit; the heart was
dilated and the liver showed signs Of
recent congestion.
The autopsy stopped there, It being
concluded that the girl had died from
these conditions. Although it had been
reported by DR.. LevisOn that the girl
had taken poison presumably lauda-
num), the contents of the stomach were
not analyzed to determine this fact,
the Coroner, the mother and Sig. Bett-
man protesting themselves satisfied
that the dilatiOn and congestion had
carried off the young woman.
IF the girl had taken laudanum,' -
said DR.. Caglieri last night, there was
only one way to determine 1t, and that
was to analyze the contents Of the
stomach. We did not do this. For that
reason l cannot say that there was none
in the stomach. If there was, that
probably killed her and not the condi-
tons 1 found"
Coroner Hill still thinks they did all
that was necessary in the case. He
processes 10 know, although DR.. Gag
lieri explains why he could not, that the
girl did not die from laudanum poison
ing. The Coroner is evidently trying to
live up to the half-yearly report he
made Tuesday to the Supervisors He
concludes it by saying:
have adopted a plan Of holding inquests Mt
the homes of deceased persons and find that
1t gives a great deal Of satisfaction to bereaved
relatives and friends. More than one-half OF
the inquests held by me since January l, when
took office. have been held at the homes of
deceased persons.
His finding in the case of Florence
Parker was eminently satisfactory to
Sig. Bettman and the other relatives of
the dead girl. but it does not go down
with George Bailey.

EXPECT RELEASE
OF ALL PRISONERS
Spanish Commissioners
Are Hopeful.
Special Dispatch to The Call:

MANILA, July 19.-The Spanish COM
mission charged with negotiating for
the release of Spanish prisoners held
by the F'ilipinos expect to return to
Tarlac soon with full authority to Sc
cure the release of all the prisoners.
The commissioners hope to be able to
make arrangements under which the
sum they are to pay for the ransom of
the Spanish prisoners will be deposited
in the bank, to be drawn by the Fill
pinos at future date, so that the
money cannot be used to carry on the
war against the United States.
The Filipinos have refused to allow
civilian prisoners to embark on board
any ship leaving Aparr, although they
had passports signed by Aguinaldo;
There have been terrific rams mere
during the last few days. In conse-
uuence it has been necessary TO use
boats in moving about the streets OF
Manila and the whole country is i1ooo-
ed. The total precipitation thus Tar IN
July has been 80 inches and in the last
thirty-one hours IL inches of rain mas
fallen.
Insurgents encamped on the bank Cl
the Rio Grande to-day fired. on the
boat Laguna de Bal, killing one soidlet
and wounding two. The gunboat
trained a Gatling gun upon the shore
and quickly dispersed the insurgents.

TOM PLATT'S
DEFENSE Of
PRESIDENT
Continued from First Page

back. They want to know why there was
not a sufficient force present in the island
of Luzon to crush out the rebellion upon
its first appearance and, stirred by sensa-
tional newspaper stories and by the re-
cent round robin of the offended news
paper correspondents, they are asking
whether the situation is even as good as
had been reported whether the Govern
ment has not allowed itself to be miSed
and whether the military force now being
enlisted will surely be great enough for
to which / purpose to submit an answer.
1t should be borne in mind in the first
place that the Governments means of in
formation concerning what has occurred
in the Philippines are not confined to Cen
eral Otis. The Navy Department has its
officers there. The President is directly
represented by Mr.. Denby, who was for
fourteen years our Minister to China, and
by Professor Worcester, who resided in
the Philippines for four or five years and
who knows the native character and hab-
It's. The Philippines campaign is receiv-
ing the Presidents constant personal at
tention. He Is in direct cable communica- =
ton with Manila and receives daily re-
ports from all sources.
The possibility of his being misled about
the facts in the case is scarcely worth
consideration. The precise fact, as he OBJ
tains 1t, not only from General Otis but
from each of dozen or more of his Of
fetal informants, is that for a distance of
fifty miles north of Manila and of twenty
miles south of Manila and eastward into
Iaguna province. our armies hold the
territory so that the insurgents are scat
tered beyond our lines In bands of from
fifty to 800, their only considerable force
