members of the party died, as follows!

were saved by a rescue party from the
Quaker mission at Cape Blossom
The above dispatch was received last
night in the Tribune office over the
Associated Press wire. \ Tribune man
went to the store and showed the dis
patch to Mrs. Netter. She read it over
carefully and then said that Attorney
G. NJ. Watson had received Il similar
message in the afternoon from drug
gist in Seattle. but that neither Mr..
Watson or herself were inclined to be
lieve IT, She expressed the hope that
it might be true but said there have
been so many conflicting statements
that she will never believe Mr.. Netter
alive until she sees him.
I ETTER FROM MRS. BENS.
Mrs. Netter received n letter only
yesterday from Mrs. w. II. Bens, who
has been reported to be the only sur
NiNor of the party. In 1t Mrs. BenS
r@iterates her statements that Mr.. Vet
ter and the rest of the party are all
dead. Her story, however. differs
maerially from the one printed in the
Detriot Tribune and reprinted in this
paper on August S.
Mrs. Bens, according to the latter
story. was with the party all the time
and saw them drop off one by one until
only herself was left alive. In the let
ter received by Mrs. Netter she says
that she and her husband were ten
days journey from the remaining eleV-
en- of the party when the latter died.
The word she received of their death,
she says, was brought by man no
came miles out of his way to tell her.
Mrs. Bens states that he told her
that he had seen the eleven graves
and that all of them We're marked. The
only person Mrs. Bens saw die was her
own husband. From the tone of the
letter she is perfectly confident that
the party are all dead and even told
of how the bodies could be recovered
next spring.
In a former statement Mrs. Bens
said that +. A. Plummer. who is quot
ed in the dispatch as having arrived
in Seattle bearing the news of Mr.
Netter's rescue. was one of the men
who died and that she had heard that
he was the last one to be buried.
PLTMMER is ALIVE.
AS the dispath sent out by the AS
sociated Press and the one received by
Attorney Watson agree that Mr.. Plum
mer has arrived in Seattle, it is very
probable that the statement is COR
rect.
If it is and leaving the question Of
Mr.. Plummer's Veracity out Of consid-
erati,n entirely, it is also very prob
able that Mr. Netter, who was also re-
ported dead, could still be alive, too.

IT IS THE CALL OF GOD.
So Says Rev. W. H. P.
Faunce of the Brown
Presidency.

New York, June 1.-THE Rev. w. H.
P. Faunce, pastor Of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church, today announced that
he would resign the pastorate of that
church in order to accept the presidency
of Brown university. In a statement,
which he gave to his congregation, he
says:
II had expected to spend the remain
der of my life in this city, content with
the steady growth of our work and the
expanding opportunities Of the metropo-
lis and satisfying my craving for con-
tact with the student mind and student
life through those visits to various in
situations of learning which your kind
ness has permitted me to make. But
you have perceived, perhaps, more
clearly than 1, that for some years an
invisible tide has been bearing me on
ward toward the educational world
From one of the oldest seats of learn
ing in this country, a summons has now
come which / cannot conscientiously re-
fuse 1t is the call of a venerable and
noble college, the cal Of my alma ma
ter, the call of a thousand students,
and, it seems to me, the call Of God.
To refuse such a summons involves far
less risk and toll than to accept it, but
life is not a pleasant thing to man
who has avoided his duty.
mo words can express my gratitude
for the loyal support and affection with
which you have all stood by my side
during this happy decade. Our largest
plans have only begun to be realized.
You viii carry them out, and / shall
confidently watch and rejoice.

A BIG CYCLONE IN IOWA.
Three Persons Killed and
Several Injured Houses
Blown Down,

Sioux City, Ia, June ia tornado
today struck near the town of Salix, 16
miles from here, killing three persons,
fatally wounding and badly injuring
two more. The dead: John Malloy,
farmer, Mrs. John Malloy, John NAL
10y, Jr. Fatally injured: Miss Bessie
Malloy, skull seriously injured. So far
as can be learned at this hour no one
else was killed or injured.
The Malloy family was at supper
when the funnel-shaped clouds were
felt. Dick Malloy told his parents to
go to the cellar. He ran to the home
of Mrs. Hassel, a widow across the
road, to warn her and seven children
to take to the cellars.
But the Malloy family across the
road only remained in the cellar about
five minutes, the father suggesting
that the cloud was only rain. They
came up, and in an instant the house
was demolished. The dead and injured
members were scattered among the
ruins.

home of Russell while under the influ-
ence of liquor The wounded man was
taken to Shirley where he was attend

that the mans life is in danger and
his condition is critical.
Russell was placed under arrest by

Russell is a farmer residing near Lu-
nenberg depot near the Shirley line,

for some time Gustafson came to
RusselPs house yesterday partly und-
er the influence of liquor, it is said, and

him to enter the house. Gustafson per-
sisted in trying to enter and again
Russell ordered him not to enter.
This time he threatened Gustafson and
said he would shoot him if he tried
again.
The threats did not terrify Gustafson
who still endeavored to enter the home
and Russell shot him with a revolver
of 80 calibre. The ball took effect in
his left shoulder and the man fell to
the ground. He was picked UP and ia
ken to Shirley which isnear by and DR..
Fernald summoned to attend the
wounded man. The doctor is not san
guine regarding the ultimate recovery
of the wounded man, as his left lung
is pierced by the bullet.
Mrs. Russell, wife of the farmer, had
been sent by Mr.. Russell for police Of
ficer when Gustafson was trying to en-
ter the house and was present at the
shooting. Mr.. Russell win be arraign-
ed today at the local court.

heavy rain.
AT 6 o'clock this morning Gen. Whea-
ton advanced upon Las Pinas with a
troop of cavalry, the Twenty-hrst in
fantry, the Colorado regiment, part Of
the Ninth infantry and two mountain
guards, crossing two streams and en-
tering the town without firing a shot.
He then advanced upon Paranaque.
The women and children, and for that
matter, many men, remained in the
towns. No houses were destroyed,
though many were torn by the shells
from the warships. Eerywhere the
Americans found white flags flying.
So far as can be asoertained, the Fill
Pine loss Is about so killed, about $50
wounded and 20 taken prisoners.
The whole country is network with
trenches, and the enemy scurried from
shelter to shelter. Today long trains Of
commissary wagons are carrying pro-
visions to the United States troops
along the road which only yesterday
was the stronghold Of the enemy, and
the natives, who yesterday were prob
ably carrying arms, are today dofng
their hats and grovelling before the
Americans with ELUSIVE greetings Of
welcome.
The Colorado regiment returned to
barracks in Manila tonight. AS the
ragged and dusty men marched past
the Luneta, the fashionable gathering
place for Manilians, they were heartily
cheered.

LIKE MARTIN THORNE.
New York Police, However, Think Man
Was Killed BY an Ocean Liner.

New York, June 11.-An autopsy was
performed today upon the dismem Dered
and headIess trunk of a man which
was found floating by the grounds of
the Crescent Athletic club, Brooklyn,
yesterday
An examination Of the body created
the impression that murder had Neen
committed, and that the murderer had
followed the methods of Martin Thorne
in the case of Guldensuppe. The only
difference was that there was no wrap
ping around the trunk or anything by
" hich to identify it.
Coroners Physician Emil Hartung,
who performed the autopsy in Brook
lvn, found that the heart and almost
the entire portion of each lung were
missing. The exposed breast muscles
had the appearance of having been
torn apart instead of severed by an IN
strument The bones at the ends Of
the two stumps of the legs are badly
srlintered and evidently not the work
of a saw or Ratchet. The stomach was
filled with water and the two remaining
ribs had been smashed and broken.
DR.. Hartung gave it as his opinion
that the missing upper part of the
trunk and also the portions of the legs
which were missing below the knees,
could have been cut away in the same
clean manner by the propeller of an
ocean liner. He seemed to have still
much faith in his theory that the
mans body had been hit by the pro-
heller of an ocean liner. He will make
his report to Coroner Berger ir the
morning.
