A SAN FRANCISCO SENSATION.
A Young Girls Dead Body Found
Nnked-RcscmbIes the Durnnt
Case In Some Respects.

Case In Some Respects.
San Francisco Feb. "a mysterious
murder, resembling in some of its fea-
lures the noted Durant case. is now
puzzling the police department of this
city. The body of Nora Fuller, a 16-
year-old girl, who disappeared from her
home Jan. H. was found lying naked
on bed In the upstairs back room Of
an unfurnished house on Sutton street
yesterday afternoon. The girl had been
dead some time, as decomposition had
set in.
There was nothing i'm the house to
indicate the means used to take her
life. but the posture of the body and
its condition, together with the disorder
of the room, indicated that the girl had
been murdered. An autopsy disclosed
that death was not due to natural
causes All the organs are in normal
condition. The general theory is that
the glrl was either strangled or pois-
oned. On both sides of the neck are
discolorations that may have been
made by finger tips.
Nora Fuller left home Jan. IL and
met a man known as John Bennett, in
response to an advertisement for a
girl to take care of baby She met
the man at a restaurant and there
after all knowledge of her was lost,
On Jan. the house in which the
body of the girl was found was rented
by man giving the name of G. h.
Hawkins. The general descriptions OF
Bennett and Hawkins tally.
A possible motive for the murder Is
found in the suggestion that the muir
derer either quarrelled with the girl
or feared that his relations with heI
were about to become public.

Monterey. Mex, Feb. 9.-Gov. Ar
guelles, of the state of Tamaulipas,
who is here as the city's guest during
the stay of the Pan-American dele

greater concession II built in Victoria. /"
GOV. Arguelles thinks there is a great
opportunity for packing houses In Mex
ico. Cattle are now so much cheaper
In Mexico, the Governor says. than in
the United States that Il will be a
paying proposition to ship beef from
Tampico to England, where II can BE-
laid down for less money than from

but that shore Is one Of the most dan
gerous spots along the western shore.

FOrce-Rushed His Cattle Against
BIockhOuse Line aud Thus Broke
His Wny Observation-Disclosures Puts
the Beer Loss at 2S3.
London, Feb. 9.From Wolvehoek,
Lord Kitchener to-day telegraphed
long description of a combined move
ment of numerous British columns
with the object of securing Gen. De
Wet.
Lord Kitchener says the advance be-
gan the night of Feb. 3. the whole
force moving from various directions
and forming a continuous line of
mounted men on the west bank Of the
Liebnbergs Vlet. from Frankfort as far
south as Fannys Home and thence to
I<atfir Kop. The line then advanced to
the west and the following night the
British entrenched with their outposts
SO yards apart. They held the line from
Holland, on the Hebron Frankfort
blockhouse line in Doormkloof on the
roonstadt-Lindley blockhouse line
while the columns were also working
in advance of the blockhouse lines to
prevent DeWet's crossing. The adj
vance was continued Feb. and De-
Wet was within the inclosure. but re-
alizing his position, he ordered his
men to disperse and seek safety dur
ing the night DeWet himself, with
some men and a number of cattle,
made for the Kroonstadt- -Lindley
blockhouse line, and at / o'clock in
the morning, when II was very dark,
by rushing his cattle at the fence,
broke his way through the line, mixed
up with the cattle and lost three men
killed.
Many attempts were made to break
through the line on the night of Feb.
Z, reports Lord Kitchener. the line
of outposts being attacked at various
places throughout the night But very
few escaped, and ten dead Beers were
picked up in the morning near He'll

II do not get exact details of the Boer

but as far as I have ascertained, they

prisoners, as well as about seven hun
dred tired horses and many cattle,
Our casualties were only ten"
kitchener's Big Boer Drive.
Lord kltchenerS great plan which
he has been celebrating for months
past, failed by the escape of DeWet,
but was successful In the greatest sin
gle capture Of Beers since Lord Kitch-
ener arrived in South Africa.
Altogether twenty-three columns
were employed in an immense irreg-
ular parallelogram formed by the lines
of blockhouses and the railroads be-
tween Wolvehosk, Frankfort Lindley
and Kroonstadt. 1t is estimated that
DeWet's forces amounted, roughly
speaking, to 1900 men. Lord Kitchener
personally superintended the final
preparations for the expedition and the
great move was made over a front Of
forty miles. the advance extending
sixty miles, with the object of driving
the Boers against the railroad line
where armored trains are patrolling
and were repeatedly in action, sheling
the Beers to prevent their crossing the
railroad. DeWet succeeded in slipping
through the lines to the southwark
The whereabouts of Mr. Steyn is un-
known, though one report says he is
with DeWet.

enforced vacation.
All the sick boys are having the
best medical attention and nursing.
The Presidents stay here Is indefinite.
although it is not believed II will be
prolonged much after Wednesday un-
less the boys condition takes turn
for the worse. Pneumonia being al
ways alarming, the President has
thought It well to stay here until he
has some assurance OF his sons re-
covery.
The President arrived here at 2;so
o'clock this afternoon after an un-
eventful trip Of fourteen hours from
Washington.

to the sick boys room, and the Presi-

structors In the school.
1t appears that quite number OF
the boys have contracted colds during
the past three or four weeks, proba bly,
from strenuous exercise and lack OF
caution afterwards. 1t is said that it
has been the habit of some of them to
play hand ball i'm the closed court, and
