PLACED In THE TOMBS.
DR.. Kirk Stanley Cannot Give Bail
of $4,000.

New York, May 23.-Dr Kirke Stan
ley, the masseur arrested in connection
with the death of Father Phillips. has
been arraigned before, Coroner Bausch
and his examination set for May 81 The
bail was reduced to $1,000 Stanley was
taken back to the Tombs in default OF
bail.
At the hearing before the coroner Po-
iceman Redmond told of finding the
priests badly decomposed body and Of
the subsequent arrest of Stanley. After
the policeman had testified Assistant
District Attorney Caravan asked for an
adjournment of the case until a report
on the chemical analysis of the stomach
and intestines of the dead man could be
received.
Abraham Levy, counsel for Stanley,
protested against an adjournment de-
claring there was absolutely nothing
against Stanley.
ssThere is no criminal charge against
him. said the lawyer, "and it is hard
ship to hold man on mere suspicion
I don't care for any indiscretion he may
have been guilty of in not reporting the
death of the man to the police That IS
a matter with which the court has moth
ing to do. We all know that DR.. Witt
haus, the chemist, is not active in fur
nishing an analysis in such cases. ask
that you proceed with the examination
or discharge the defendant"
Coroner Bausch granted the adjourn
ment and in doing so said:
7 will make an agreement that the
professor who makes the analysis shall
furnish a report within seven days. A
longer time will not be tolerated by me.
I see nothing of a damaging character
against the defendant other than his
folly in falling to report the case. I do
not believe tat Stanley was cogniZant OF
the death of the priest"
When Coroner Bausch reached his
office today he found it had been broken
into, the roller desk in which the cor
oner kept his papers had been pried
open and there was evidence that the
papers had been ransacked. The cor
Oner believes this was done by persons
wishing to learn the real name of the
woman known as Mrs. Stanley.

An interesting view of the present

months in the country on some special

luton might be in full progress for sew
eral weeks in some distant province be-
fore the news would reach the capital,
and action to suppress it could be taken.
The conditions at present are very diff
ferent. They illustrate the change
wrought in the political and economic
world. Any government worthy Oflthe
name would be informed at the earliest
mon ent of any outbreak which might
occur and would be able to dispatch
troops promptly by rail to the scene
of the disturbance
The influx of American capital and
the manner in which it is concentrated

A STORMY MEETING
Held by the Stockholders of Neck
lenburg Mortgage Bank.

Berlin, May 23.-The meeting at Neu
Strelitz Yesterday of the stockholders OF
the Mecklenburg Mortgage bank was
stormy and sensational. The bank is a
creation of the Pomeranian Mortgage
bank, whose directors were arrested
Saturday. Yesterdays meeting showed
similar state of affairs as in the case
of Prussian Actien bank and DeutSche
Grundschuld bank, circumventing the
law against lending upon improved pro-
perty by making heavy loans to sub
companies specializing in real estate
The meeting showed that most of the
loans We're secured by second mort
cages, the Pomeranian bank holding the
first mortgages. The bank loaned 81
100000 marks in 1899 on land in the Ber-
lin suburb of Pankow, which the Immo-
bilien Nerkehrs bank a real estate

ian bank. bought in 1898 for 5000. 900

Barnes, today made a confession in
which he admitted to the authorities
that he had taken a box of poisoned
candy to the patient and fed it to him.
His statement clears the mystery which

CUBA'S FIRST STEP
Toward the Acceptance of the Plat
Amendment.

Am6nQm
New York, May 23.-It has been shown
says a Havana dispatch to the Tribune,
that the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton will reject Gualberto GOmez's re-
port as the first step toward accepting
the Platt amendment. He urged that If
the convention held out and refused ac-
quiescence to the amendment. Cuba.
would be in a. position to appeal to the
world, and ultimately would gain abso-
lutte independence. His followers now
admit the defeat Of his proposition, but
after that will endeavor to embarrasS
the delegates who want q majority re-
port adopted. Several members who viii
vote against Gomez want to avoid a di-
rect vote on acceptance. Norma Del
gado and Berriel who have proposed
notifications in the majority's report,
will nevertheless support it.
The Sugar Planters association made
a formal request to the convention to
intervene in the question of mortgage
foreclosure, which is one of the most
perplexing questions with which the
American administration is confronted
Governor General Wood has extended
the time of the order against foreclos-
ure till June l, but announces that no
further extensions will be granted.
In the meantime a special COM
missioner has been trying to adjust the
formulating a plan satisfactory to both
debtors and creditors. The Merchants
Union, a strong financial body, has op-
posed the Sugar Planters convention
and has lately refused to intervene on
behalf of the latter on the ground that
the subject is beyond its Jurisdiction It's
action is important

election is made by congress, thereby
avoiding the strain and excitement of
a popular vote. The choice for the new
president will probably lie between Linn
antOur, the present minister OF finance
and General Reyes, the head of the war
department. Both men are liberal in
their political sympathies, although Linn
antour belongs to the old aristocrat ele-
ment It is because of these aristocratic
connections that the choice is more like
ly to fall upon Reyes, who is popular
at once with the masses and with the
army Both Limantour and Reyes are
on cordial terms and possibly an agree
ment may be reached by their friends
by which the former shall hold the Office
for a term and the other be chosen
