THREE CHILDREN CREMATED.
Mother Became Insane When She Found They
Were Dead.

New York (Special) "A lighted lamp
as a makeshift to heat room caused the
death of three negro children named
Smith in a tcnement-house at 443 West
Sixteenth street. The lamp exploded or
was overturned by the children, who
were alone in the room. When the fire.
men arrived they were dead.
The mother of the children is laund-
ress. She started out to collect from her
customers, leaving the children, Annie,
aged 2; Gertrude, aged 4, and Sadie,
aged 2, in bed for warmth She locked
the door and took the key with her. The
first intimation to the outside that there
was fire in the flat came from smoke
pouring through a kitchen window into
a courtyard In the confusion no one
thought of the Smith children.
Captain Farley, OF Engine No. 3, the
first TO arrive, climbed UP the fire-escape
to the kitchen window of the Smith fiat
and entered the rooms. He found the
little ones dead.
When the Smith woman returned to
the house and learned of the death of her
children she became insane.

RACED WITH DEATH.
Suicide Wanted to See His Children Before He
Died.

Derby. Conn. (Speciar Orlando B.
Feeney, local butcher, raced with death
to bid goodby to his little daughters be-
fore succumbing from morphine he had
taken with suicidal intent. A victim of
melancholia, he took the fatal dose in
Bridgeport. He then was seized with
such desire to see his daughters--Lil-
lan, I3, and Norma, She boarded a
trolley car and rode to this city, an
hours trip.
The journey was scarcely half COM
pleted when stupor began to overpower
him. Fellow-passengers walked him up
and down the car and he was held with
his face to the biting wind outside until
this city was reached, when he was made
TO run to his home. He staggered into
the room of the girls, kissed each good
by and fell unconscious. DR.. Paul Ken
nedy and DIR. G. R. Beardsley were
quickly at his side, but he died early next
morning.
1t is said that Feeney was addicted to
the use of morphine, otherwise he could
not have remained unconscious for more
than half an hour. He was 48 years old
and was once more prosperous.

Washington, d. c. (SpeciaD Mrs.
Ulysses S. Grant, widow OF President

city at lily o'clock Sunday night.
Death was due to heart failure, Mrs.
Grant having suffered for some years
from valvular disease OF the heart,

her rallying from the attack. Nellie

two trained nurses. Death came peace

Ulysses S. Grant, two of the sons now
in California, that they have started
on their way to Washington. The other
son, Gen. Fred Grant. will hasten here
from Texas as soon as he receives a
message telling him OF his mother S
death.
Mrs. Grant has been in poor health

Washington Is Puzzled.

Washington (SpecialD alD.-"Trcaty sign
ed Ills p. m" was the message which
came to the State Department from
General Bliss, at Havana, confirming
the 2ress report of the conclusion Of a
reciprocity arrangement between the
United States and Cuba.
The officials here are puzzled to know
Just what has been signed; they
thought that protocol or protocols had
been prepared, but General Bliss mes
sage carries the inference that he has
actually concluded a definite reciprocity
treaty If he has done so the President
will accept it and forward it to the SEN
ate for its action, and the officers OF
Minister Quesada here will not be re-.
quired to give effect to the convention.
The State Department does not feel
at liberty to make public the details OF
the arrangement in fact. some OF these
will not be known until the Havana
mail reaches here, for General Bliss
undoubtedly has made some changes in
the duties on American imports into
Cuba originally proposed.

Opposed to God Standard.

City OF Mexico (SpeciaD The silver
question continues to be one OF the
great topics of public discussion. 1t is
now certain that the silver miners and
the farming classes will make common
cause against the adoption OF the gold
standard, The miners argue that the
silver mines in gold standard countries
will have to shut down at the present
price OF silver, while Mexican mines
cannot continue to be operated; also
that silver mining and agricultural in
terests have more claim on the profec-
ton OF the government than railways
or merchants. Meantime all prices are
being raised and there is much anxiety
felt among the middle classes, espec-
tally wage earners and salaried men.

Deliver the Venezuelan Message.

Puerto Cabello. Venezuela (By Ca
ble).-The British cruiser Charybdis
and the German cruiser Vineta bonn
barded the fortress here at O'Clock p
N. and quickly silenced it, The bonn
bardment lasted for IS minutes. The
fortress is composed OF Fort Solano
and the Castle Libertador. After the
firing ceased the Charybdis sent ma
rines to occupy the castle. The fort
ress was almost demolished.
Three persons were killed, one OF
them being a German resident.
The commander OF the Castle Liber-
tador has been taken prisoner. The
cruisers are still here.
At o'clock Sunday morning the
Charybdis and the Vineta arrived here
searching for Venezuelan gunboats
The two cruisers sent their boats into
the inner port, but finding no gun
boats the boats returned.
The captain OF the British merchant
steamer Topaze, which was seized by
the mob here last Wednesday, then
visited the British commodore on board
the Charybdis and lodged a protest
against the violation OF his ship. The
British captain returned an hour Later
with a detachment of so marines, who
took charge of the Topaze. The pop
ulace was greatly excited at this Incl.
dent, and raised the cry TO arms!
but there was no disorder.
The British commodore then sent a
message to the authorities at Puerto
Cabello demanding immediate satisfac-
ton for the action OF the mob in hav-
ing hauled down the British flag IRON
the Topaze. saying that ii this satistac-
tion was not forthcoming in two hours
at o'clock-the fortress and the
customhouse would be bombarded Or
the receipt OF this demand the author
itics sent a message to President Cas-
tro, asking for instructions.
A committee OF the merchants o
Puerto Cabello then approached Mr.
w. II. Volkmar. American consul here
petitioning him to intervene. The Con
sui accepted the mission and visited the
cruisers, but he could obtain no altera-
tion in the decision OF the allies.
At a quarter before five reply wa:
received from President Castro who
authorized the chief officials here &c
give the British commodore ample sat
isfaction Before this answer could be
communicated to the American con
sui the hour stipulated for its receipt
had arrived. The cruisers Immediately
opened fire on the fortress.
The fire was returned from Fort So
lano and Castle Libertador, but the
Venezuelan guns were soon silenced
While the firing continued there wa!
intense excitement in this port. Every
house in town was closed.
The people OF Puerto Cabello cannot
account for this precipitate action or
the part OF the allies, which they con
slider to be proof that Great Britain
and Germany intend forcing war upor

tlOn Of New Era OF Development.

San Francisco (SpeciaD In mem
ory OF John W. Mackay l christen the
Pacific cable. May it always carry
messages OF happiness
With these words, Lucille Gage. the
II-year-old daughter OF II T. Gage,
Governor OF California, christened the
trans-Pacihc cable. and breaking bot
tie OF champagne over the shore end,
inaugurated new era in the CONNER
cial development of the Pacific Coast.
The landing and splicing of the shore
end which is to connect the mainland
with Honolulu was accomplished with
out hitch and was witnessed by nearly
10000 people. Ideal weather prevailed
there being scarcely any surf.
The steamer Newsboy, carrying six
miles of cable. steamed close in shore
and by a liie-saving boats crew sent a
rope, to which the cable was attached,
ashore. Word was sent to President
Clarence II. Mackay and the cable and
Postal Telegraph Company officials
that all was in readiness.
The work OF hauling in the cable was
done so quickly that the officials ar
rived on the beach only two minutes
before the cable touched the beach and
was christened at o.55 a. m.
While the cable was being spliced
to the land end Mayor Schmitz deliver
ed a short speech, congratulating Mr..
Mackay on the successful beginning OF
the work. He spoke OF the importance
OF the undertaking and the benefit to
the world at large that would result
from its completion.
Clarence II. Mackay. president OF the
Pacific Commercial Cable Company,
made a short speech OF thanks.
Gov II. T. Gage, on behalf OF the
State OF California, paid fervent tri-
butte to the late John w. Mackay. The
formal exercises closed with cheers for
the cable and its promoters.
A portion OF the cable was cut up in
to small pieces as souvenirs and dis

Arbitration Proposed.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD .-Arbi-
traton has been proposed by President
Castro as a means of settling the differ
ences between his Government and those
of Great Britain and Germany, the prop
osition being made to United States
Minister Bowen for transmission TO this
Government, which will present it to the
Foreign Offices at London and Berlin
immediately.
Secretary Hay will act as the medium
of communicating the proposition. The
belief among officials of the State De
partment is that arbitration now is prac-
tically impossible, in view of the extreme
measures adopted by the Governments
concerned in the troubles, and that the
situation has reached a stage where
actual war practically prevails, although
no formal declaration has been made or
is likely to be made. There are numer-
ous precedents in which nations have
battered down forts and sunk ships with
out war having been formally declared
The most recent case was the course OF
Great Britain and Germany in smashing
the Taku forts and attacking the Chinese
without a declaration of war.
Mr.. Hay replied to Mr.. Bowen's cable
gram, authorizing him. in his discretion
to use his good Offices to secure arbitra-
ton. He was. however, made to under
stand that in the arbitration, if one
should follow. he would represent, moi
the Government of the United States
but that OF Venezuela, at its request.
Il is realized here that the outcome IS
extremely doubtful and the way is besei
with difficulties. If the claims against
Venezuela were only those Of Grea
Britain and Germany the adjustment
might be easier, but France and Italy
the United States and perhaps other ma
tions also have claims, and they canno
accept any arrangement which Grea
Britain and Germany might force OF
Venezuela that would deprive them o
their right of reclamation.
The situation now prevailing ha!
aroused in the last "a hours great ap
prehension on the part Of the Admins
tration. There was a long discussion o
the case between Mr. Hay and the Presi
dent.
Although a perfect understanding
has existed among the United States
Great Britain and Germany for severa
weeks as to the action taken agains
Venezuela in behalf of the claimants i
is understood that this Government
never expected such drastic treatmen
of the situation as has resulted in th'
last few DAYS
