MUlleN'S SENTENCE CARRIED OUT.
Execution of Murderer Who Refused 10
Plead Guilty TO tianslaughter.

New York, July 23-Joseph Mullen was
eiectrocuted in the State prison at Sing
Sing al sos this morning. He murdered
his wife in this city on June T. 1898.
If Mullen had accepted the offer of the
district attorney of New York and had
pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaugn-
ter in the second degree, with a provision
for sentence of five years, he would still
be alive, and would have to undergo i'm
prisonment for only year or 80, allowing
for the usual communication of sentence for
good behavior. But Mullen thought he
could not be convicted, and he refused to
plead guilty. While Mullen was in this
mood the district attorneys office got hold
of most damaging evidence. and the pris-
Oner was at once put on trial for his life.
Mullen was accused of having murdered
his wife. Johanna OBrien, shortly after
midnight on June 4, 1885, at 331 West
Seventy-eighth street, New York, where
the woman was employed as a servant
At the trial a memorandum book belonging
to Mullen was produced, in which he had
written the following:
Il am doing this dreadful thing because
/ love my wife. and she will not do what |
want her to. She has been away from me
eighteen months, and have asked her to
go and look for place with me as man
and wife. and she won't do it. So | thought
that with my own hand / would end her
life and mine, in each others arms"
1t was this note that convicted the pris-
Oner

DEWEY POINTS OUT ABsuRDITIes.
Tie AdHsiFa's Analysis OF !IeIandFiHe's
Letter to senator Psttierew.

The letter received by Senator Petit
grew from one % AEuinsid0's generals.
J. fleiandrin0, containing an alleged &C
count Or an interview between himself
and Admiral Dewey on board the Olympia
l1 ne Pay % HonEkopg tn April, lsss, IN
which &c Is stated Admiral Dewey prom
isef independence 20 the FIilpinos, was
shown 90 the Admiral yesterday. Tne
Admiral characterized n a. a tissue or
fai=ehoods" He declared II absurd on its
face n rot only had 10 power TO prom
Le Independence 10 the Filipinos." said
he but the whole tenor OF the worI
put IN ny mouth stamps them as false.
7 am made 20 say things which / never
thought Of and which could never have
uttered You will notice tha; ! am ad-
dressed in the alleged interview as 'ad
mirai' when at the time ! Was a com
modore The Admiral said he had never
heard Of Iletandrino. Several Fiiipinos
after much importuning. did come aboard
the Olympia at Hongkong They were
anxious % be taken 20 Manila Il con-
sdered their representations Of little i'm
uortanca." said the Admiral and / did
not take them 30 Manila. Later | gave
permission to Aguinalio and about n
dozen others to come 10 Manila. tll that
they we're anxious about ar tha. time was
an end OF the tyranny OF Spain against
which they had been fighting. After the
destruction Of Montiio's fleet the city vir-
tuaily surrendered. and l am satisfied If
We had had 900 troops there at that time
We could have gone ashore and been re-
,ce.ved by the FIlipinOs as deliverers. They
had absolutely no thought then OF indie
pendence That was an afterthOught OF
their leaders during the interim between
the smashing Of the Spanish feet and the
arrival OF the United States troops"
Speaking Of the report that cuba was
10 be evacuated by the American troops
after the holding Of the constitutional
convention, Admiral Dewey said he did
not see how the United States could turn
over the island 10 the Cubans until a
stable government had been established
we are responsible To the world for the
orderly conduct Of affairs In Cuba" said
he. and until such a government is es-
tahlished | cannot see how We can wi. n
draw. We are confronted with a similar
situation in the Philippines. The world
looks 10 US. and no matter which politi-
cal party wins In November, the United
states cannot relinquish the island until
responsible and stable government is
set up there

The War Department is considering the
advisability Of sending the Hancock,
which sails from San Francisco July %
with four battalions of artillery and 500
marines. direct to Taku, instead of 10

gone on the Meade, which sails August

urgent necessity of getting re-enforce-
ments TO China. to have the Hancock
make a special trip. She will carry stores

Third Cavalry. and one company Of en-
gineers from West Point, in all LII men
