. Joliet, Ills, July 27.-Adolph L. Luet-
CERT, the wealthy Chicago sausage
maker, who was serving life sentence
in the penitentiary here for the murder
of his wife, was found dead in his cell
today. Drs. Werner and O'Malley held
a post mortem examination. DIR. OMal-
ley says Luetgert died from fatty de-
generation of the heart. DR.. O'Malley
found that the heart was surrounded
by great mass of fat, and that it was
really surprising, considering the con-
dition of the heart. that death had not
come long before this.
The trial of Luetgert in Chicago at
tracted wide attention, and was one
of the most sensational in the history
of the state. Luetgert was charged
with having murdered his wife in the
basement of his factory and cooked the
body in vat. The prosecution had
but few small bones and two rings
as evidence that their theory was cor
rect, but secured conviction and life
sentence.

Mr.. Balfour, however. said he took a more
sangUine view Of the situation. He under

grant some substantial redress although
quite inadequate according to Great Brit

IL was manifestly impossible. Mr. Bal

While he did not take a despairing view
OF the situation il would be folly to pre-
tend that all the difficulties had been
solved or to proclaim a peace which was
not yet assured.

by the latest news, but the question seems
TO have arrived at a deadlock The blue

chiefly interesting as showing that the
Cape ministry approves President Krug-

the TransVaal refused friendly consulta-
ton with the British government before
passing and promulgating the franchise
bill. 1t is understood that negotiations
have ceased since this period between
Great Britain and the Transvaal.

APPEAL TO RABID CUBANS.
EXPLANATORY CIRCULAR DIsTRIB-

Special cable D,tpatch to THE suS.
HAVANA. July 1S.-Ten days ago circular
was distributed in the province OF Matanzas
calling upon the Cubans to arm themselves
against the Americans. The document was
signed "Bctancourt" Little attention was
paid to it until yesterday. when the Havana
press began to discuss its authorship. and
La Luchd intimatcd that Gen. Bctancourt was
b-hnd 1t. Such a statement was considered
ludicrous by everybody knowing Gen. Betan
courts attitude toward the military govern
ment.
To-day information was conveyed to Gen.
Brooke that a member Of his Cabinet was the
author 1t was alleged by the informant that
q proof OF the circular was seen on the Minis
ter's desk before 1t was issued Gen. Brooke
has ordered that tho circular be translated into
English. and has instructed Gen. Ludlow TO
fnl on, who printed it 1t il said that Gen.
Irooke had II copy Of the circular in his pos
session four months ago. but only a few copies
got out at that time.
White the circular IS really Of no importance.
II II j. proved that 1t was issued by Cabinet
Minister the result might be serious for that
person. The Minister who is accused Is now
on leave OF absence, and II Is reported on re-
Nalle authority that no will not return to his
duties owing to Gen. Brooke's dissatisfaction
with his work.
Gen. Brooke's order abolishing the incom-
nunicado system was signed to-day. 1t re-
Quires that every accused person be made ac-
quainted with the charge against him and the
name Of his aocuser. The prisoner will have
the right to see lawyer within twenty-fnur
hours Of his arrest. and he cannot be made
to testify against himself. The order il
practically the same that outlined in The
SuN two months ago. The delay in issuing 1t
has been due to the difficulty Of deciding on its
technical details.
The supreme Court met to-day and resolved
to nsk the Secretary of Justice to suppress the
police court now presided over by Capt Pitcher
of the Eighth Infantry. and that courts ofthree
magistrates BE- organized in the capitai OF each

Is that the semi-nli,ary court as it now exists
