FR|GHIFUL BRUTALITY
IN THE COLOMBIAN WAR.
MANY ACTS COMMITTED THAT BE-
LIE THE CLAIM TO CIV
ILIZATION.
BOTH SIDES SAID TO BE GUILTY.
A YOUNG MAN HUNG BY THE CHIN
TIC A HOOK AND HIS HANDS
NAILED FAST.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-Accord-
ing to V. III. Putros, a railroad man,
who has arrived here from South
America, the war now in progress in
Colombia is characterized by brutality
on both sides. In the far interior,
Putros says, the federals before being
driven out, slaughtered every person
that fell into their hands, excepting
only a few women.
At Chinipa a body of adherents of
Marosquin, while retreating, came upon
an inn near the town and took possess
sion of it. The person in command of
this party was Melton Zubia, who at
present has charge of the artillery at
Bogota. T~heophile Ortiz, the son of
the owner of the inn, was found within
and made prisoner. Having ascertain
ed that the young mans father was a
rebel, Zubia ordered him to be tor
tured. He was finally, according to
Putros, impaled by his cabin on a hook
driven into the door, and his hands
nailed to the sides of the entrance.
In this way, after a series of struggles,
he soon died.

ACTION Of CONGRESS
As 70 CUBA WAS Final.
THE ADMINISTRATION EXPECTS
TIE CUBAN CONVENTION TO
FINALLY ACQUIESCE.
WILL BE NO EXTRA SESSION
To CONSIDER CUBAN AFFAIRS UN-
LESS SOME RADICAL CHANGE
TAKES PLACE.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-No Gre
dence is given here in official circles
to the report from Havana that Gen.
Wood has informed members OF the
Cuban constitutional convention that
the declaration of Congress as contain
ed in the Plat amendment to TIE army
bill, is merely a basis for further ne
gotiations as to the relations between
the United States and Cuba, and that
the rejection of the amendment by the
convention would be followed by the
re-opening of the American Congress
in special session. There is authority
for the statement that the remarks
attributed to Gen. Wood are contrary
to the view OF the matter held by the
principal officers of the administra-
ton. Briefly stated, the expectation in
Washington is that the Cuban conven-
ton will accept the conditions laid
down by the American Congress, even
tually, if not in the immediate future,
and that the Cuban delegates will be
given to understand that the action of
Congress was final, having been taken
after thorough consideration of the
subject and that such action is not
likely to be modified or amended
by that body, even if called together
again expressly for that purpose, eX-
cept in the event of the development
of a radical and unlocked for change
in the situation. AS one official ex-
pressed it, the action of Congress on
the Cuban question was taken with
the view of obviating an extra ses-
sion of Congress, as well as to ac-
quaint the Cuban constitutional con-
vention with what vas expected of it,
and he said that the declaration of
Congress will stand until the owen
ton is ready to act in accordance there
with, otherwise the existing military
government will continue in power at
least until December next, when Con-
gress re-assembles in regular session,
and the Cuban question can be again
taken up for such legislation a may
seem to be necessary.
HAVANA, March AT the confer
enc last night Of the Cuban constitu-
tional convention many delegates fav-
ored the temporary suspension of the
convention in order to allow the mem
bers, especially those from Santiago,
Puerto Principe and Santa Clara prov
inces, an opportunity to consult the
wishes of their constituents regarding
the Platt amendment.

HAS BEEN ABANDONED.

FITTSBURG, Pa, March 5.--The
Leader says:
1t was learned to-day from a source
that it is thoroughly reliable that the
Carnegie Steel Company has finally
definitely abandoned the PROJECT for
the establishment of a s12, 00G, 600 tube
plant at Conneaut, Ohio, ON the shores
of Lake Erie. The work on the plans
was stopped by the order of G.. VI.
Schwab. Last week one thousand
acres of the five thousand under op-
ton was conveyed to the Carnegie
Steel Company and the remainder will
likely be taken and turned oyer to the
United States corporation to be used
as a site for some vast industry at
some future time.

MOSER FOUND GUILTY
And Sentenced to T~wenty-One Years
in the Penitentiary.


PEKIN, Ills, March 5.-Samuel
Moser, who killed his wife and three
children, was found guilty to-day and
sentenced to twenty-one years in the
~penitentiary.
Moser, whose father is said to be
wealthy, formerly was a member of
the Amish religious sect. He became
separated from his family, he charges,
through the peculiar beliefs of the sect,
which forbid the show of affection for
members of a participants family.
Moser claimed, in his story of the
crime that this so affected his mind
that he decided to wipe out his family
rather than submit to separation. At
ter the deed he left the State and was
arrested several months later at Salt
Lake City. He did not deny the
charges made, his counsel relying on
a plea of insanity for his acquittal.
After a trial lasting a fortnight, the
jury went out yesterday afternoon
and after celebrating all night, re-
turned a verdict this morning, finding
Moser guilty. He accepted the long
sentence calmly.

COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT
HER 50 He MURDERED HER.
AN ITALIAN GIRL ACTRESS SHOT
TO DEATH ON THE STREETS
OF NEW DIRK
RETURNING FROM THEATRE
WITH HER MOTHER AND A CON-
PANION WHEN CRIME WAS
COMMITTED.

NEW YORK, March 5.-A 16-year-
old actress, whose stage name was
Mamie Cirelli. was shot and killed
early this morning by her jealous
lover, Antonio Triolo, 20 years old.
The murder was committed at the cor
ner of Mulberry and Bayard streets
Triolo was arrested. The dead girl
and her mother, Santina Magavero,
also an actress, have been travelling
about the country, giving perform
ances in small concert halls and other
resorts frequented by Italians.
About a week ago they began an en-
gagement at the Villa Umbert in Mud
berry street. They had appeared at
this place on several other occasions
and it was here that Triolo met the
girl. He called on the young actress
at her home.
Shortly after me o'clock this morn
ing, with her mother and Gugivelino
Sorentino, a friend of the mother, left
the hall and walked down Mulberry
street. They had reached the north
east corner of Bayard street when
Triolo, who had evidently been wait
ing in a doorway. was seen walking
rapidly towards them. When he a
within a few feet of the trio he drew
a revolver and pointing it at the girl,
emptied the five chambers in quick
succession. Two of the bullets took
effect, either one being sufficient to
cause death. Triolo ran away, but
was caught by a policeman. He said
the girl had preferred other men to
him and that he could not live without
her.

NATIONAL TUBE SURPLUS
MAY Be CAUSE Of TROUBLE.
OF THE UNITED STATES
STEEL CORPORATION Pos
ITIVELY INSIST
THAT ALL SURPRISES GO IN.
A SYNDICATE OF TUBE SHAREHOLD-
ERS FORMING TO FIGHT
AGAINST ABSORPTION.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Stockhold-
ers Of the National Tube Company
have taken steps to oppose the steel
combination which ] p. Morgan & Co.
is projecting, and which is destined to
absorb the tube concern, among 9TH
ers. 1t is possible that an appeal to
the courts may be made Cor an injunc-
ton. Counsel for the new United
States Steel Corporation are, however,
confident of easily disposing of any le-
gal antagonism.
Through an advertisement by White
and Blackwell, a stock exchange house
of lower Broadway. the public obtain
ed the first evidence of an organized
movement to oppose the proposed steel
combination. This firm advertised that
it had been requested by holders OF
ST, 500, 600 of the National Tube COM
pany stock to organize a protective
committee on behalf of those who are
against the consolidation and asked
other shareholders to join in the move
ment.
What the dissatisfied stockholders
want, it is said, is the surplus in the
company's treasury, which amounted
to more than sS,67S 900 on June 80,
1900, and which, it is believed, has
grown since, and there are moreover,
$40 00, 900 of preferred and $4,000 COO
Of common stock outstanding.
Mr.. Morgan. however, is unwilling,
it is reported, to let any of the concerns
he proposes to merge use its surplus
for the stockholders as each surplus
has been reckoned as a part of the
working capital of the new concern.
1t has been reported recently that j.
Pierpont Morgan was planning to OBJ
tain control of all the Pennsylvania
anthracite coal fields. The rumored
combination, it was said, would in
clude the Philadelphia and Reading
company, the Leligh Valley Railway
Company, the Erie and the Jersey
Central companies, the Coke Brothers
Coal Company and the Pennsylvania
Coal Company. Indirectly associated
with the project were, it is said, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company,
the New York, Ontario and Western
Railroad Company and the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
Company.
At the Office of J. P%ierpont Morgan
this story was denied. Local agents
of a number of the companies named
secuted the idea Of such a combina-
ton being effected at this time. Later
it was reported that the Morgan in
terests would dictate the terms upon
which a settlement of the difficulties
between the operators and the anthra-
cite miners would be effected at the
convention to be held at Hazletoh on
March II. This report could not be
confirmed.

LONDON COMMENT
On McKinIey's Address.
Policy of Expansion Definitely En-
tered Upon.

On McKinIey's inaugural Address.
Policy of Expansion Definitely En-
tered Upon.
LONDON, March Accommodating on
the inaugural address of President Nc
Kinley, the Daily Chronicle remarks:
Time in its progress creates bur-
dens for us all. To ignore them is not
to annual them. America, definitely
though perhaps unconsciously, embark
ed on an expansionist policy when she
declared war on Spain. To-day she
only recognized, through the mouth of
her President, the logical outcome of
her own act"
The Morning Post:
''The splendid commercial successes
achieved during the last three years are
results memorable at any time. but the
more signal because they seem to
promise still greater advantage for ma
tional industry in the near future.
IF he succeeds in inducing the Re-
publican party to regard the control of
annexed regions like Puerto Rico. or
protected lands like Cuba, as something
outside the ordinary conflict of party
he will have laid a good foundation for
the exercise of that influence which
naturally belongs to a nation so pow
erful and SO intelligent as the Amer
lean republic. The sonorous phrases
in which this is urged upon them is
admirably chosen to attract the popu-
lar support"
The afternoon newspapers here to-
day make little comment on the inaug-
uration yesterday OF President McKin-
ley at Washington.
The Pail Mall Gazette thinks that
the speech with its strong note of en-
pire contains a lesson for British pro-
Beers"
1t adds that "a true empire maker
spoke on the relief of Cuba"
The Westminster Gazette finds that
the term "close friendship" applied to
Cuba as in alternative to annexation
is decidedly interesting.
