LUETGERT DEAD IN HIS CELL
The Chicago Murderer n Victim of Fatty
Degeneration of the Heart.

JOLIET, ILL.,, July %. --Adolph L.
Luetgert, the Chicago sausage maker,
who was serving life sentence in the
penitentiary here for the murder of
his wife, was found dead in his cell
yesterday. The officials were unable to
ascertain the cause of his death, and
an inquest was held to determine
whether he killed himself or died of
heart disease.
Drs Werner and O'Malley held a
post norton examination. DR..
O'Malley says Luetgert died from fatty
degeneration of the heart. DIR. O'Mal-
ley found that the heart was sur
rounded by great masses of fat and
that it was really surprising, consid-
ering the condition of the heart, that
death had not come long before this.
Frank Fay Pratt, a member of the
Chicago bar, said that Adolph Luet-
CERT confessed in February, 1898, that
he had killed his wife.

WARSHIPS FOR SAN DOMINGO
The New Orleans and the Maehias Or
dered to tho Island.

WASHINGTON, July 80 Secretary
Long has sent telegraphic orders to
the cruiser New Orleans at Newport
directing that she proceed at once to
San Domingo. AT the same time an
order was sent to the gunboat Ma
chias at st. Thomas to- leave for San
Domingo
This action was not due to the re-
ceipt of any official advices indicating
possible trouble, but entirely to the
desire to be forehanded in dealing
with any possible disturbance.
BY the assassination of President
Heureaux of San Domingo Cuba may
lose one of it's central figures, as it is
we'll known that General Maxine
Gomez aspires to the presidency of
the black republic.
While little is known of President
Figuerreo, few persons believe he can
maintain peace, as there are pro-
nounced signs of revolution brew
ing. With a third candidate in the
field in the person of Juan Isadore
Jiminez, it is said this will not pro-
mote tranquility, and judging from
the past history of General Gomez,
many believe he will next be heard of
as president of San Domingo 1t is
thought large number of Cubans
would follow General Gomez to San
Domingo and again take up arms I'M
der his command.

CAPE HAYTL July 9s-Details OF
the murder of President Heureaux of
Santo Domingoreceived here are to the
effect that a financial crisis having
arisen in Santo Domingo, and an in
surrection being feared owing to the
number of malcontents, President
Heureaux went to tho north and west
of the island to prepare for
all eventualities. He was about
to leave Moca for Santiago
de las Caballeros when he was
killed. Booted and spurred, ready
to mount his horse, he sat under the
gallery OF a house in the Rue Colon
talking with two friends at $3.50 in
the afternoon, when an old man ap-
preached to- ask for aims. Just as the
president gave the old man some
money, Caceros, the assassin, rushed
forward quickly and fred twice from
his revolver. One bullet struck the
heart of the president, killing in
stantly, and the other killed the old
man, by his side.
The crime was committed so rapidly
that the friends of the president were
not able to interfere in time to pre-
vent it., but they fred number of
shots, at Caceros, who ran away, ac-
companied by several persons. The as
sassin's party returned the fire of the

escaped. 1t is not known wheth-
err he was wounded or not.
The authorities Immediately sent
troops to pursue him. The
body of President Heureaux was
taken to the house of the governor of

death spread rapidly and caused much
emotion among the inhabitants of the

Freedom, who claims to have obtained
it from the records in the surgeon
generals office at Manila
The total number of fatalities. is
736; 90 officers, 600 privates and IA
civilians attached to the army. A re-
markable feature of the record is
found in the statement that the num-
Der of officers killed in battle is out
of all proportion to the number of
privates killed. On the other hand,
fewer officers died from disease pro-
portionately than privates. Out of
the 90 officers dead, 10 were killed in
action, 2 were drowned and died of
disease, as follows: Typhoid L, menin-
gifts g, rheumatism of the heart l..

HONOLULU, July 81, via San Fran"
cisco, July 29.-The volcanic eruption
of Mauna Loa is still in full blast.
The lava flow is apparently filing up
the table-land near the Humuula
sheep ranch. Hilo and the whole
island of Hawaii are enveloped in
smoke. Vessels encounter dense
clouds of smoke hundreds of miles
out to sea, and navigators are seri-

are that this volcano will soon be
in active eruption. Frank Davey has
returned from visit to Mauna Loa
volcano. He says there are eight
craters Five of them were dead, but
appeared to have been active quite
recently. One of the others was
belching forth smoke and fire and
motion rocks of great size. Accord
ing to Davey, the rocks were as big as
horses and went so high that they
cooled before falling to the ground.

At the crater it was very hot.
}. S Pratt was caught on knoll
high up on Mauna Loa on two sides
of which the lava was flowing. The
sun was nearly down. He did not
know which way to go and spent the
night there with desperate chance,
as he thought, of life. He sat
up all night and watched the lava
flow. When the fumes were blown

his face to keep from suffocating.
Next morning he found his way out
