Washington, May Ex-senator Raw

the Land Office Hermann in re-
gard TO the erroneous report that

Ship Confesses.

Stockholm, May 1S.-A dispatch re-
ceived here today from Eskilstavna
says that Philip Nordlund. who was
arrested there. has now fully confessed
that he deliberately planned the crime
he committed on board the steamer
Prinz Carl Wednesday night, when he
murdered seven men and wounded five
others "a woman and a boy.
He says he bought the revolvers with
the express intention of robbing an
other steamer at OrebrO, after killing
those on board, but he changed his
mind and boarded the Prinz Carl. The
prisoner said that he regretted not
having recognized the policemen who
arrested him, as otherwise he would
have shot them. He also expressed re-
greet at the fact that he had not killed
every one on board the Prinz Carl, en-
phatically denied he was insane, and
asserted that he committed the muir
ders in order to avenge himself on
mankind.
