CORONER,S JURY VERDICT IN THE
CASE OF JC\EPH
LA PORTE
HAYES BLOW KILLED HIM
He Had No Heart Disease, and His
Death Was Due to the Blow
or Fall to the
Floor.
nLOBE'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
IL 20 WASHINGTON Az. SOUTH.

Coroner Nelson and jury yesterday aft
ernoon made an inquiry as to the cause
of the death Of Joseph La Porte, who was
killed Wednesday night in the couse OF
an alteration with Maurice Hayes over
the Philippine question. To the surprise
Of the coroner's jruy, Drs. ]. Warren Lit
tie, Henry Cotton and M. r. Wilcox, the
coroners physicians who made a post
morten examination Of the body of La
Porte, testified that the remains were
absolutely normal in every particular.
There was absolutely nothing about the
physical condition of the body to indi-
cate the cause of death, and the physi-
clans determined it to have been due to
a conclusion of the brain.
At the conclusion of the testimony the
Jury found that La Porte came to MS
death from conclusion of the brain re-
sulting either from fall on the board
floor of the hotel office, caused by blow
from Hayes fist, or that conclusion was
the direct result of the blow, and that
In either case Hayes was simply defend
ing himself from an attack begun by La
Porte.
Hayes did not testify, but he was pres
ent in court with hs attorney. The Wit
hesses called all testified to the same
facts. which were that La Porte was the
aggressor. None saw the blows STRUCK
or saw La Porte fall, but after he was
down Hayes was seen to kneel and strlke
La Porte in the face.

ADMIRAL KEMPFF EXPLAINS.
Tells Why He Finally Turned
Against the Chinese.

Tells Why He Finally Turned
Against the Chinese.
WASHINGTON. July 26.-The navy de-
partment has just made public the fol-
lowing additional chapter in Admiral
Kempff's report:
United States Flagship Newark, Taku,
China, June 20, 1900.-Sir: Referring to
part In the seizure of the Taku forts
and In afterward making common
cause with the foreign forces in the pro-
lection of foreign life and property, l
would respectfully state that the Chinese
government Is now paralyzed, and the Sc
cret edicts show that it is in sympathy
with the Boxers.
az The fact that NADER the existing
circumstances the troops at the forts
were given much extra drills, torpedoes
were provided, and, 1t is claimed, planted
In the entrance of the Pei Ho, was con-
sidered menacing, and by other senior
naval officers sufficient cause to Justify
them in demanding the temporary occu-
patton of the forts. This eliminated In
the bombardment of the forts by other
foreign gunboats on the morning of the
this bombardment the Monocacy was
fired upon and struck, without having
received previous warning
g. 1t is now necessary to join with
the other foreign powers for common
defense and preservation of foreign peo-
pie and the honor of our country.
"A / refused to join in taking posses
sion of the imperial Chinese railway sta
ton, and also declined to join in the de-
mand for temporary occupation Of the
Taku forts, for 1 thought 1t against the
policy and wishes of our government to
be entangled with other foreign powers In
such step, and also because it endanger-
ed the lives of people in the interior. In
advance of absolute necessity; for, up to
early morning Of June IT, the Chinese
government had not committed, so far as
I am aware, any act of open hOstilities
toward the foreign armed forces.
So In opening fire without warning, an
act of war was committed, when many
shots were fired at the place where the
Monocacy was moored-about 1900 yards
from the forts Those firing must have
known of her presence there, as she has
been moored in that position for a num-
Der of days.
''Under these circumstances I regarded
the situatio as one for the protection
Of the national honor and the preserva-
ton of our people, and have acted ac-
cordingly. Very respectfully,
louis Kempff

TO BE SENT TO CHINA
AMERICA DECEIVED.
German Press Laments the Credu-
lity of the United States.


BERLIN, July 2e.-The German foreign
ONCE, which has received no information
from China today, points out that the
conditions demanded by President Nc
Kinley in reply to Emperor Kwang Su
place the United States in substantially
the same position as Germany and
France. Nevertheless the German press
continues to assert that the Washington
government is trying to part company
with the powers. The Freissinige Zeitung
remarks:
'All the powers, with one exception,
refuse to be deceived longer by Chinese
double dealing. That exception is the
United States, which has formally aban-
doned the concert of the powers
Another circumstance which has made
bad impression here is the refusal of
the American and British admirals to
vote to give Russia control over the
railway to Tien Tsin. The Berliner
Tageblatt says that this refusal is a proof
of dissension among the powers, and can
only encourage the Chinese.
The Kreuz Zeitung, which repeats its
pess1mistic views concerning the har~
monious action of the powers, asserts
that the present difficulties in the way
of united advance upon Pek1n are really
greater than the military difficulties.
The Vorwaerts contrasts President Nc
TNAhloS answer 10 the chinese note WITH
Count Won Buelow's, praising President
McKinley's as a masterpiece, and saying:
The American president plays upon
Chinese sympathy without in the slightest
degree committing himself. While he
states certain conditions clearly and en-
phatically, he avoids every threat and all
rude rafting of the sabre Nc. Mckinley
is really a man Of fine parts
Count Won Buelow, before going to
Bremerhaven, had an interview with the
Russian ambassador. and subsequently
with the American On the following day,
Tuesday, he conferred with the ambassa-
doris of Austro-Hungary, Italy, France
and Great Britain. 1t Is understood the
Chinese situation was discussed.
The National Zeitung argues strongly
against the assumption that the prohibit
ton of the expectation of arms to China
would leave China without arms.
