neva convention authorized the flag OF the
Red Cross Society to fly from severaA
buildings at once in the town, and that, i'm
his opinion, the employment of natives
against whites and the use of dynamits
mines were both opposed to the rules Of
war.
Col Baden-Powell replied that the Gems
eva convention did not stipulate as to tho
number Of Red Cross stations permissible.
and that the Beers were only required To
respect the the convent, the hospital and
the women's lager all of which were be-
yond the town limits The British COM
mander also pointed out that mines wers
recognized adjuncts Of civilized warfare.
and that the defenses Of Pretoria were ex-
tensively mined. Moreover, he reminded
Gen. Cronie that the Beers had fred upon
natives, burned their kraals and raided
their cattle, and that the natives only de-
Tended their lives and property.
Despite these warnings from Col. Baden4

Weddings at Kimberley.
So far as Kimberley Is concerned, the
mental condition of the British may bA
Judged from the fact that three weddings
nave taken place since the siege began,
the last having been celebrated on Nov. g.
The great delay on South African cables
now amounting TO practically five days,
and the lack of any definite news from
Ladysmith, gives rise to some apprehen-
sion, which is only relieved by the fact
that no adverse tidings have come from
either British or Boer sources.
Nothing is known as to the whereabouts
of Sir Redvers Butler.
Her Majesty's steamship Powerful has
arrived at Smon's bay from Durham, and

TRAFFIC. IN HUMAN BODIES.
Four of Them Found and. Captured
in Zinc-Lined Trunks.

I'm Zinc-Lined Trunks.
st. Louis, Nov. A-Four zinc lined
trunks, such as are used by travelling men
TO carry samples, each containing corpse
were taken from the baggage room at
union station to-day and Il. D. Thompson,
a brother of Frank Thompson, who says
he is city undertaken at Memphis, Tenn.
is under arrest.
Charges against Thompson are being for
mulated. For some time the police have
been aware that traffic In human bodies
has been going on through this city and
have been on the watch for evidence. Re
Gently a shipment Of four bodies in trunks
was made, addressed to w. II. Hansen, at
Keokuk, Ia, to whom those captured to-
day were consigned.
When taken TO police headquarters,
Thompson made a clean breast of the
whole affair. He said he had the contract
foT burying the city dead Of Memphis
For some time he had been selling the
bodies to medical colleges throughout this
part of the country. His method was to
pack them with excelsior IN drummer &
zinc lined trunks and take them with him
as baggage as far as st. Louis From
here he shipped the trunks to their desti
nation by express. Thompson said he had
been paid all the way from $50 TO $500 per
body. He said the name of w. II. Hansen,
to which the trunks we're addressed in
Keokuk, is a fictitious one, but refused to
state who his conslgnee is.
In the trunks are the bodies Of three ne
groes, two men and a boy, and a white
woman. From appearances they all died
of consumption or some other wasting dis
ease The white woman's features are
regular aud her hair black. Her front
teeth are god-nlled. All the bodies are
well preserved.

Immediately to the scene Of the accident.
The navy departms MT has already a con-
structor on the ground in the person OF
Lieut. Hobson. who may be called on 10
assume charge of the wrecking operations.
y careful reading OF the cablegra from
Admiral Watson convinces the officials
that there is a fair chance of saving tho
Charleston. They say that the name of
the ship is painted about three or four feet
below the rail. This Is an indication that
the main deck is above water, which would
make the work of pumping out the huh
much easier. II she is settled down aft, as
reported there is less danger Of injur ng
the bottom further by pounding. Much de-
pends, however, on the weather, as the
wreck lies in the fun sweep of the mon
soons which prevail at this season.
For the safety of the officers and crew
not the slightest apprehension exists. The
Helena must already have reached the
island which is about a days run from
Lngayen, and with the Oregon, which
followed closely, must have removed the
Charleston's crew several days ago.
VIII BE a Court of Inquiry.
AS soon as possible a court of inquiry
will be called to fix the responsibility for
the wrecking of the ship. This will fol-
low irrespective of any action of the navy
department and will be ordered by Ad-
miral Watson. Should 1t appear that the
wreck was caused by the negligence of any
of the Charleston's officers, a courtmar-
tial will follow the inquiry, but, in view
of the exceedingly dangerous character of
the north coast of Luzon, and the lack
of necessary aids to navigation. 1t is not
believed to be probable that any of the
officers will be found severely censurable
Capt. George w. Pigman is in command
of the ship.

The news of her sons death was con-
yeyed to Mrs John A. Logan by a per-
sonal note from Secretary Root, sent by
Mai. Johnson, assistant adjutant general.
Mrs. Logan was prostrated by the shock,
but later in the day recovered her COM
posure, and, driving down town, commun-
icated with young Mrs Logan at Youngs-
town, O., over the long-distance tele-
phone.
Soon after noon Mrs. Logan drove to the
White House. She was accompanied by
another lady One of the ushers, who had
known her for many years, admitted her
at once to the red parlor. She had tele-
gram in her hand and begged to have her
name taken at once to the President. In
the parlor she met Mrs McKenna, wife
of the associate justice, who also has
son in the Philippines.
Word of Mrs. Logans visit was brought
10 the President in the midst of the cabi-
net meeting. He at once left the meet
ing and went down stairs where Mrs. Lo-
gan and Mrs. McKenna were still together.
After few minutes conversation Mrs. Lo-
gan was assisted to the carriage and the
President returned to the cabinet where
the sad news of Mai. Logan's death had
already been under discussion.

New York, Nov 14.-Roland B. Molln-
eux was put on trial for his life to-day in
the Court Of General Sessions before Re
corder Goff, charged with the death of
Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams on Dec %, 1898.
Mrs Adams died after swallowing what
was believed to be a headache powder that
had been sent through the mail In a sill
yer matchholder as Christmas present to
Harry Cornish, physical director of the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club and by him
administered to Mrs. Adams with whom
he boarded. A chemical analysis developed
the TACT that the powder contained dead
ly combination of cyanide of mercury.
The investigation which followed result
ed In developing that Henry C. Barnet an
other prominent member OF the Knieker-
booker Athletic Club who had recently
died. had received a similar powder, and
that 1t contained cyanide of mercury also.
Mollneux was among the witnesses put
on the stand at the coroners inquest at
which the testimony went TO show that
Molineux bore enmity toward both Corr
nish and Barnet. He was arrested after
considerable delay and has been in the
Tombs ever since.
Three grand juries considered his case
and the third brought in the present in
dictment against him. Both sides have
fought bitterly ever since Mollneux's ar
rest, and to-day, after several hours were
occupied in an attempt to select a fury

Washington, Nov. 14-Admiral Watson

lowing official report of the wreck of the
cruiser Charleston:

of Guinapak rocks, north coast Luzon,

Well out of water forward; apparently
very steep bank; ten days provisions one

from Lingayen by Oregon to Kamiguin;

There is discrepancy In the date of the
wreck of the Charleston as given in Ad-
mlIdl NdtSOu ; message anu IN the press
dispatches. 1t is probable that the 7th
inst. is correct, and Admiral Watson's dis
patch was confused In transmission.
There was some surprise expressed that
so long a time elapsed since the wreck be-
fore news of the fact reached the navy de-
partment 1t appears, however. that this
delay was inevitable owing to the isolated
nosftion of the wreck
Kamiguin Island is small island lying
about north of Aparrl which is the most
northery port on the Island of Luzon. 1t
is distant about go miles from Lingayen
gulf, where are stationed the nearest of
the warships Of Watson's fleet. When

rection OF the President. went over at once
