SUICIDE OF HENRrs SECRETARY.

brain was affected, and he was placed on

that time the former sergeant-matOr OF
artillery has resided at Saint Quentin, in
a chalet there. with his family and his
father-in-law. He recovered his health
somewhat, but never spoke Of the Drey-
fus case which evidently preyed on his
mind. Last Saturday he received tele-
gram, not from the Minister Of War. as
was at first alleged. but an unsigned dis
patch, ordering him 10 proceed TO Paris
Immediately, TO place himself at the dis

the journey, and killed himself that night
II IS remarked as curious that through
out the whole agitation Lacrimier's name
had never been mentioned. There seems
no doubt. however, that he could have
thrown some light upon the affair, and

HABANA RAILWAY STRIKE ENDED.
American Soldier Killed by Cuban
POIiceman-Cem Decision.

HABANA, April 1.-THE order Of the
military administration directing that
owing to the refusal Of the hrst-class en-
gineers TO work, trains should be manned
by second and thlrd-class engineers, in
order 10 carry mails and government
stores, broke the backbone of the strike
on the united railways. To-day trains

the men are now back at their posts. The
strikers. fearful Of losing their jobs, sur
rendered to the company, without condi-
tions. leaving the settlement of their

government railroad transportation in
Cuba.
SOLDIER KILLED.
Patrick John Tighte, Company NJ. Sc
cond Artillery, was killed by Policeman
Ramon Cesar, at FL VedadO, last night.
Twelve armed comrades Of Tightes, led
by Private Reeves, took Cesar from the
police station about midnight and beat
him severely with sticks. They did not
then know that Tighte was dead. 1T
seems that Tighte had been drinking, and
caused an uproar on a train. 1t is said
Tighte seized the policeman and dragged
him oft the train. From this point the
stories are not clear. one Of them Is that
Tighte stumbled over the track, and was
shot by the policeman while he lay on
the ground. He died at the military hos
pital three hours afterwards, and his
comrades insist that ii was case OF
murder Cesar is confined to his bed.
BAD FEELING.
This affair and the wounding Of Con-
don on Saturday night with several other
minor rows between the soldiers and the
police. have caused a great deal Of i'll
feeling, and the men of both services are
threatening as to what they will do In
the event of provocation The citizens for
the most part take the side OF the police,
and the local papers publish letters from
prominent people approving the conduct
