SLASHES HIS THROAT
DIR. It. s. COOK, COLORED PHYSI-
CLAN, ATTEMPTS TO END
HIS LIFE
WAS MENTALLY UNBALANCED
While Waiting for Ambulance to
Take Him to the Hospital He
Wounds HimseIf-Cut
Is Superficial.

DR.. T. S. Cook, a colored physician
whose office is at 5S2 Robert street,
made an unsuccessful attempt to commit
suicide last night about 10 o'clock by
cutting his throat with some sharp in
strument, presumably a penknife.
The doctor, who is forty-two years old,
has not been in the best of health for
the past few days, and last night his
family called in DIR. Brimhall. The lat
ter found that the doctors mental con-
dition was not all it should be, owing,
his friends declare. to overstudy.
DR.. Brimhal suggested that a few
days rest in the hospital would not be
a bad idea and it was finally decided
to send the man to the city hospital
and to this end the st. Luke's ambulance
was called.
Dr. Cook was left alone for a short
time pending the arrival of the ambu-
lance, and 1t was during this time that
he made the attempt to end his life
He was hurriedly taken to the city
hospital, where the wound was examined
and 1T was found to be only a superficial
cut a little over three inches in length
1t had not reached any Of the arteries
or vital points.
The wound was dressed and it was
said late last night by the attendants
at the hospital that the patient was in
no danger. He has, it is said been act
ing in rather an eccentric manner for
some time past, but has never exhibited
any mobid sentiments or said or done
anything that would lead his friends to
believe that he was about to take his
life. He will be able to be out again
in a few days.

satisfied they We're in no danger and
they praise the conduct of the captain
and crew of the vessel. After the acct

PORTE GETS WARNING
UNITED STATES INSISTS ON INDEM-
NIFTY FOR MISS STONE.

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 9.-The
American legation here today presented
to the porte the second note referring to
the capture of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone.
In this note it is pointed out that as
Miss Stone was captured the ransom
paid and the prisoners delivered in Tur-
key the brgands must be within the
Turkish frontier and should therefore he
captured.
The note denies that the authorities
were ever required to lessen their vigi-
lance on the frontier and asserts that
only the movements of the troops in the
interior were interfered with.
The first note presented to the porte by
the United States legation at Constanti-
nople in the matter of Miss Stones cap
ture by brigands demanded the punish
ment Of the guilty parties. The porte, in
replying, denied responsibility.

EASILY STOP A REVOLT
AMERICAN TROOPS DRIVE BACK
INSURGENTS IN RIZAL.

MANILA, March 9.-Lieut Rowland. of
the Twenty-first infantry and aide on the
staff OF Gen. Wheaton, who was sent to
report on the state of affairs in Rial
province, after the recent outbreak of
activity there, reports that the insurgents
have not been dispersed, and that the
soldiers and constabulaFy are closely pur-
suing them. There is only a small force
of insurgents in the province, and they
are greatly over-officered
1t is clear that the Insurgents in Rial
province had no idea how quickly the
troops and constabulary could concen-
trate and break their power. Complete
harmony exists between the american
soldiers and the native constabulary In
this district and both have done excel
lent work during a short campaign.
The troops consisted of six officers and
230 men of the Fifth cavalry.
