COOPER 70 YANG Wal PIN
THE ACTING GOVERNOR WAS
MISREPRESENTATION.
How He Wrote Informing the Consul OF
The Territory's Policy Regarding the
Chinese Deposits.

The Hon Yang Wal Pin. Chinese
consul, has been worked" it is stated,
by people who are desirous of prevent
ing the transfer of the $235 900 of Chi
nese deposits from the bank to the pub
lie treasury. Acting Governor Cooper's
letter to the consul in reply to the con-
suIs protest to Commissioner Wray
Taylor, has been much distorted as
published. 1t was declared to be very
discourteous in tone, and yesterday "a
garbled extract was published.
Acting Governor Cooper this morning.
stated that his reply had been misre-
presented in the purported letter pub
lished. Il do not say that there
was deliberate intention to misrepre-
sent this office" said Cooper. But I
do say that the letter in the Bulletin
was quoted with alterations"
The publication to which reference
was had was as follows:
The Acting Governor replies to the
wide awake Consul in language worthy
of a Turkish diplomat.
"Cooper's reply is to the effect:
Your letter addressed to Wray Taylor,
eX-secretary of the Bureau of ImmI-
grafton was referred to me. l have to
say that you must have been misin-
formed that the money was to be used
for the current expenses of the Terri
tory. The money will be held by the
Territory. The money will be neld by
the territorial government and will be
paid over TO the Chinese laborers on
their return to their native land
The following is a correct copy of the
letter, which informed the consul tho
roughly as to the governments policy
in the matter:
Sir: Your letter of the Sth inst, ad-
dressed to Mr.. Wray Taylor ex-secre-
tary of the Board of immigration, has
been referred to me-
The Chinese who made the deposits
with the Board Of immigration In ac-
cordance with the conditional permits
issued to them by the Republic of Ha-
wall are not entitled to the payment OF
the money so deposited, but in case the
person who made the deposit desires to
return to China the fund is TO be ap-
piled for the payment of his passage,
and the remainder, if any, paid to him.
| think you have been misinformed as
to the intentions of the Territorial Gov
ernment in regard to the fund you re-
fer to. The Territorial Government will
promptly provide the funds for the pay
ment of the passage to China of each
depositor when he is ready to leave this
country, up to the amount standing to
his credit. Until such time, however.
the fund will remain in the custody OF
the Territorial Government.

II. /. c. MS Consul,
Honolulu,

The Consuls action is regarded in
some quarters as an impertinent inter-
Terence. The Territory is responsible
to each Chinese depositor individually.
Until some Chinaman applies and is
unable to collect money due him, the
consul has no kick coming, it is claim
ed. The protest he made is said to be
part of an opposition to transferring the
money, the Consul having been put up
to writing the kick. The government
will adhere to its policy.

CANTON CEMETERY AFFAIR.
Friends of the Family of Preside I
Mckinley Inclined to Discredit
the Sensational story.

Canton, O., Sept. 3O.-Friends of the
family of the late President Mckinley
generally discredit belief Of the idea
that the shot by the guard, DePrend,
at Westlawn cemetery, Sunday night,
was on account of any attempt TO
desecrate the tomb. They do not at
tempt to explain the strange story of
the guards or account for the firing
of the shot which cemetery officials
and other residents near by say they
heard, and they do not believe that
two men would undertake to make
an attack on the vault with 20 SOL
diers on guard or near at hand.
1t is believed that the military au-
thorities will make thorough inves-
tigation of the stories told by the SOL
diers on guard Sunday night. There
are unconfirmed rumors that the shot
was fired on account of an accidental
fall, and also that it was a result of
personal difficulties.
The officers in charge early instruct
ed soldiers not to talk of the affair.

TRAGEDY AT DE SOTO, MO.
John Me1oy and Mrs. Sadie Uren are
Now Said to Have Been FOulIy
Murdered.

De Soto, Mo-, Sept. 3O.-Testimony
Indicating that John Meloy and Mrs.
Sadie Uren, who were killed, Saturday
night, in the woman's home, were
both murdered, and did not die, as
! was at first believed, from wounds in
fiicted by Meloy, was given at the cor
oner's inquest.
William Greenhill and Daniel Green
hill, brothers of Mrs. Uren, admitted
on the witness stand that they had
struck both Mrs. Uren and Meloy in
the head with an AK and a hatchet,
declaring they did so because of ex-
citement brought about by their be-
lief that Meloy had shot their sister
and then turned the weapon on him.
self.
Doctors Farrar, Higginbotham and
Auerswold, three of the most eminent
surgeons in this section of the coun-
try, swore that the ak and hatchet
wounds had been inflicted before the
bullets were fired into the heads of
the dead man and woman.
More startling was the testimony of
the doctors that the pistol used was
thrust directly into the wounds in
fiicted by AK and hatchet, and then
fired. The wounds of both Meloy and
Mrs. Uren are in the right temple,
and very similar, and the bullet was
found in the same place-under the
scalp at the back of the head-in each
case.
All three physicians stood firm in
the statement that the bullets were
fired into the brain after the gashes
were inflicted by ak and hatchet, and
declared that when they drew the
gashes together there was no indica-
tion of a bullet wound. The flesh to
the skull, they stated, was powder
burned, and on~the skin outside of the
wounds there was no Indication of
such nature.
Both the AK and hatchet were intro
duced in evidence. Blood stains cover
them. The revolver, also covered with
blood, was shown, but the identity of
its owner has not been established.
Mrs. Uren, said to be one of the
handsomest women in De Soto, and
for years a reigning belle, was
wealthy. She obtained a divorce from
Albert Uren, about three months ago.
ell now lives in ST. Louis.
John Meloy was of good family,
and returned only Saturday from Tex
as. Several persons have stated, but
not on the witness stand, that upon
arriving in De Soto Meloy attempted
to borrow a revolver, claiming that
the Greenhill brothers had threatened
to kill him if he went near their sis

Capt. Jewell was then excused and
Capt. McCalla was recalled for the
purpose of correcting his testimony.
While he was on the stand the court
asked him two questions, which to-
gether with the replies, were as fol-
lows:
BY the court: 'Was there any place
in the vincinity of Cape Cruz where
large vessels could have found pro-
lection from westerly or southwest
erly winds?'
Answer: There was no place where
the large ships could take protection
winds. The prevailing winds were
from the east, and a southwesterly
wind is of short duration in that vi
cinity and means change of direction
to the north very quickly"
By the court: Had the fleet of
Cervera been in the harbor of Cien-
fuegos could it have been seen by the
vessels blockading that port?'
81 should say not. The upper part
of the maStS might have been seen if
they had been in the stretch of the
river where it turns to the east, but
L should not expect to have found
them there. If they were behind the
hill, they could not have been seen
in my opinion"
Capt. McCalla then was excused
finally, and the court adjourned for
luncheon.
During the examination of Admiral
Evans at the afternoon session, the
judge advocate asked the witness con-
cefning a statement by a lieutenant
of the Spanish navy, printed by the
navy department, to the effect that at
dark the American ships withdrew to
the southwark, disappearing. The in
PRODUCTION of this book was objected
to, and Admiral Dewey said:
'The witness has already told what
distance was maintained by the fleet.
We don't care for that kind of infor-
nation. Admiral Evans was there,
and can make answer for himself.
1--WE want facts; not newspaper ar
ticles.''
Admiral Evans testified that before
leaving Key West on May 20, to join
the flying squadron at Cienfuegos,
Capt. Chadwick had communicated to
him the secret code arranged by Capt.
McCalla. He had not, however, re-
ported this code to Admiral Schley
upon his arrival, supposing that the
admiral knew about the code.

AS corrected, the dispatch shows
that Co. c, of the Ninth, suffered the
disaster. No company was mentioned
in the dispatch made public Sunday.
The serious discrepancy between the
original and the corrected dis
patches, however, is that the latter in
dicates that the commissioned officers
of the company are missing, perhaps
killed; while the former indicated
that they escaped.

New Branch of the Katipunan.
A new branch of the Katipunan has
been discovered at Tarlac, capital of
the province at that name. The OBJ
ject of the society is the slaughter of

new branch, which includes numbers
of the native constabulary, who were
recently armed. One policeman ad-
mits that he was taxed a dollar and
was ordered to make bolos. A regu-
lar collection has been made by the
organization from the natives, either
by persuasion or threats, and an up
rising had been planned for an early
date.
Guerilla Warfare Prevails.
The conditions in Tayants (Taya-
bas) and Batangas are not reassur-
ing. The worst kind of guerilla war
fare prevails there. The insurgent
forces are distributed, under cover,
along every road and trial and wait
for travellers in ambush.
The insurgent leader Caballos (who
formerly belonged to Gen. Cailles'
command, but who refused to surren-
der with Cailles) is retreating to the
mountains. The main forces of the in
surgents are scattered in bands over
the province, where they dig up rifles
when there is an opportunity to use
them.
