eign Office has returned to the Italian
charge d'affaires, Marquis Salvage
Raggi. his dispatch containing the de-
mand of the Italian government for a
lease of San-Mun bay. on the same
conditions as those under which Ger

panying it with letter declaring that
the Chinese government is unable to
grant the request.
ROME, March 6.-Little attention is

day on the Italian cruiser Stromboli
at Naples, to take command of the
Italian squadron in Chinese waters
LONDON, March 6.-Thc Rome CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says: 1.-The
Italian warships have landed marines
at San Nun bay, thus virtually taking
possession. Italy will pay nearly
$50, 900 for the concession. The tsung-
li-yamen wishes to reduce the lease to
fifty years."
The Peking correspondent of the
Times says: 1T is asserted since the
tsung-li-yamen returned Italy's di--
patch, Sir Claude Macdonald british
minister to China) has presented a
note supporting Italy's demand, and
it is probable that Italy will now take
possession of San Nun bay, encoun-
tering practically no resistance"
According to the Peking correspond
ent of the Times, the tsung-li-yamcn
supports Great Britain against the
protest of the Russian government re-
garding the terms of the Niu Chwang
railway extension loan. recently sub
scribed in London. the glound of Rus
sian objection being that the clause
appointing a British subject chief en-
gineer of the line is in conflict with

KUNKEL HELD NOT GUILTY.
A Jury AcquIts the Lawrence Man Of
His Wife's Murder.


His Wife's Murder.
LAWRENCE, Kan, March 3.-Under
the Instructions of the court the jury
in the case of j. j. Kunkel, on trial
for the last ten days for numbering
his wife by administering poison to
her, brought in a verdict of not guilty.
The defense won by the evidence
which it produced to show that Mrs.
Kunkel had repeatedly declared she
would never have another child and
that she kept private supply of med
icine in the house, including arsenic.
The theory of the defense was that if
she died from arsenical poisoning she
had taken the arsenic herself.
Kunkel is a German by birth, but
has lived here for score of years.
The wife whom he was charged with
poisoning was his second, the first
having died some years ago.

sale the sheriff.
Gilbert then clasped his hands be-
fore his face and moaned. In a few
minutes he said: "Why should any
one hurt them, and then blame me-"
He denied ever having had any
trouble with his wife. He stated that
after leaving his home he rode south
and turned the horse loose. He then
walked for two days and caught a
Santa Fe train south of Abilene, went
to Strong City and beat his way to
Emporia.
He said that the family was in good
health when he left. He was very
nervous and seemed afraid that he
would need the protection of the
sheriff. His actions and speech are
more like those of an insane man than
criminal.
He gave as a reason for turning the
horse loose: 1T was mortgaged and
/ did not want the man to loose any

An ENTIRE FIRMLY SLAIN.
Mother and Four Children MUIR
dered in Kansas.
DEED DONE WITH A HAMMER.

ABILENE, Kan, March 4.-Someone,
presumably John Gilbert, American
born and aged about IS years. a renter
on a small farm four miles northeast
of Industry, near the southern line OF
Clay county, and twenty miles north
east of here. on Wednesday night
murdered Gilbert's wife, his two
daughters, aged about years; his son,
aged 9, and his 2-year-old baby, and
fed-no one knows where.
The deed was done with a large
hammer, the heads of the victims being
crushed almost to jelly. The children
were killed in their sleep. The wife
and mother evidently struggled with
her murderer.
Men herding stock near the place
Thursday noticed the suspicious quiet
and peered in at the window. The
sight that met their gaze frightened
them and they drove to Clay Center
for the sheriff. He arrived at the
scene of the tragedy at o'clock yes
terday morning and broke into the
single living and sleeping room. A
horrible sight was presented. The
unexpected floor was smeared with
blood and brain matter, the wall, cell
ing and scanty furniture being also
thickly splattered. On the bed in one
corner, clad only in her undertaking,
lay the body of Mrs. Gilbert, also that
of her 2-year-old babe. both with
skulls mashed and pounded out O: hui
man semblance. On the bed in the
opposite corner were the bodies Of
two little girls and a little boy, the
eldest being about years old. Their
heads were also terribly crushed and
beaten.
The victims had been dead at least
forty-eight hours, and it is believed
that the murder was committed We'd
nesday night. The children have,
however, not been to school since
Tuesday, and the deed may have been
done that night.
4 coroner's inquiry was held, and
verdict rendered that John Gilbert
committed the murder.
A large hammer was found in the
bed with the three children, bloody,
and with hair sticking to it. With
this the skulls of the five members of
the family had been crushed. From
the barn is missing a horse, saddle
and it is supposed that the husband
and father, after committing the
crime. fed.
Mrs Gilbert was a daughter of
James Blue, of Clay Center, and for
some years was employed in the hotel
at Industry. She was an excellent
housekeeper. She married Gilbert
about ten years ago, and they have
lived in the vicinity on rented farms
since. The neighbors thought their
family relations were pleasant. Gil
bert is about IS years old, weighs
about 140 pounds, has ligh. COM
plexion, reddish beard and light mus
tache and eyebrows and reddish hair.
He is stoop-shouldcred and has a
smirk on his face He does not drink
to excess, worked hard, and had. not
been quarrelsome. The community,
while considering him a fair sort of
citizen, found him rather disagreeable
and Enthusiastically. He was in debt,
and had mortgaged all his personal
property. The family lived very
cheaply, and have been having a hard
time to get along. 1t is thought that
this might have upset his mind,
though he never seemed to worry
about his affairs.
