BILL SIGNED BY. PALMA.
Americans in Cuban Prisons Will Be
Released.


New York, June 11.-There are per-
haps dozen persons who will benefit
by the amnesty act just signed by
President Palma, including two or
three Cubans who are naturalized
Americans, says Havana dispatch to
the Tribune. Estes G.. Rathbone and
G. F. w. Nicely, who were convicted of
postoffice frauds amounting to many
thousands of dollars, are best known of
those who will secure pardon. Nicely
has been in prison two years of his
sentence of ten years; Rathbone is out
on 100000 bail, awaiting decision of
The supreme court on appeal. His
lentence was for ten years. News that
he is to be free man in day of two
failed to arouse Nicely from the indif-
ferent demeanor he has maintained
since he was arrested. He smiled, but
showed no particular interest in the
information.
II have been here twenty-five
MONTHS he said, "and I'll be real glad
to get out. l must say, though, that
have been very we'll treated by the Gu
ban prison authorities. I am in eX-
cellent health, Notwithstanding reports
that am suffering from consumption.
I have no definite plans. I probably
shall remain here a week or two, then
go up to the States. Perhaps I shall
take up some business schemes here
in which I was interested at the time
of my conviction"

hanna. IS ON GOOD TERMS.
Senator Hanna Scouts the Idea of Fall
ing Out with President
Roosevelt.
Ohio Leader Confers with President
Regarding Political Activity of
Ohio Officials.
Rights of Citizenship Not Surrendered
by Mere Fact that Man Holds
Office.

Washington, June Ex-senator Han.
ma had long conference with the pres
ident during the day. At the conclu-
sion of the interview he talked freely
regarding the published intention of
Mr.. Burton of Ohio to withdraw from
the race for congress owing to the fact
that he had not been permitted to
name the chairman of the district COM
mittee. Il do not want to criticise Mr..
Burton" said the senator, "but do not
believe his charges are we'll founded,
nor do | want to make that subject a
national matter. The whole thing is
absurd"
Senator Hanna declared that Mr..
Burton never spoke to him about the
matter of having candidate of his
own until last Friday morning. The
that afternoon and Senator Hanna said
he sent telegram to Cleveland ask
ing that a compromise be effected, if
possible.
ga mistake in transmission made the
initials in the dispatch incorrect" con-
! tinued Mr.. Hanna, ''and the message
| was regarded as fake and no atten-
tion paid to it. But even if had been
there they would have paid no atten-
tion to- me-"
| Senator Hanna also stated that the
civil service commission had exam
ined into Mr.. Burton's charges that
certain federal officeholders in Ohio
had taken an active part in politics
and had failed to find anything in
them that constituted violation of the
civil service law. AS result the pres
ident has concluded not to send let
ters to the Cleveland officials censur
ing them for pernicious activity in pol
itics. With some warmth Senator
Hanna said:
THE mere fact that man holds
public Office does not necessarily near
that he should resign his rights of cit
izenship."
He said he was going to Ohio short
ly to attend the wedding of his daugh
ter and that Mr.. James R. Garfield OF
the civil service commission is to &C
company him, the latter to pay q
visit to his (Mr. Garfield's) family.
The senator secuted the idea of his
falling out with the president on this
matter and seemed to feel that he had
been put in a false light through Mr.
Burtons action.
Senator Hanna is usually exceeding
ly reticent when leaving the White
House, but on this occasion he spoke
freely and had apparently no desire tc
withhold anything bearing on this m
ter. He also discussed Cuban reciproc
ity and the coal strike with the presi
dent, but he had nothing to say fol
publication on these subjects.

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS.
Judge Pennypacker Will Secure the
Gubernatorial Nomination.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 11.-1ndica-
tions are that Judge Samuel w. Penny
packer of Philadelphia will be the
nominee for governor at the Republic
an state convention. Apparently there
is no active opposition to the nomina.
ton of former State Senator William
M. Brown of New Castle for lieutenant
governor and Major Isaac B. Brown of
Erie for secretary of internal affairs.
Attorney General John P. Ell1ins of
Indiana is making a splendid fight for
governor and his adherents still claim
he will be nominated on the first bal
lot.
There will be 35S delegates in the
convention. The Pennypacker man.
ayers, led by Senator Quay, claim their
candidate will have at least 225 votes.
The Elkin managers claim their favor
ite will have 202. Friends of former
Lieutenant Governor Louis A. Watres
of Scranton declare he will have fifty.
Pennypacker and Watres have
formed combination on the organiza-
tion of the convention. This probably
will give them enough votes to control
the election of Senator Boies Penrose
temporary chairman and Congressman
Joe D. Sibley permanent chairman.

DETAILS OF THE COLD BLOODED
MURDER NEAR BOWDON.

Details of the shocking murder
which occurred at Bowdon. have been
received. Fritz Phillip, keeper os
blind pig, was robbed and beaten to
death and the crime is charged to Thos.
Davis. Thomas Carr Albert Bowman,
Harry Cullum and James O'Brien, all
transients.
Prillip came from Garner, Iowa.
three months ago. to Bowdon, and
started blind pig as means of sup
port. On the night in question there
was a large crowd in his place of bus
iness drinking and carousing until ,
O'Clock when there were only about 80
left. The evidence seems to indicate
that finally but the five men now under
arrest were left and they decided to
rob Phillip. In the morning. about 9
O'Clock, some of the citizens visited the
blind pig and found Phillip and Davis
in bed together. Davis was in
drunken stupor and Phillip was nearly
dead. He lived only until midnight.
A watch charm and coat, which were
identified as having belonged to Pril
lip. also a pair of skeleton keys were
found on the prisoners and a broken
table leg and buggy spoke were picked
up in the shack with blood upon them
indicating THAI they had been used in
a fight
AT the inquest it developed that
death had been occasioned by blows
ON the head and shoulders. Davis
waived examination. The others de-
manded a hearing.
Phillip leaves a wife and FIVE chill
dren in Iowa. He was possessed of
considerable money.
One story regarding the crime is that
Cullumb Carr and Bowman went
home about > o'clock and that Davis
lay on the ground outside the shack
O'Brien did not go up town with them
but started towards the railroad yards
saying he was going to sleep in box
car The theory is advanced thae
Davis idea in lying on the ground and
refusing to go up town, and O'Brien's S
claim that he was going to box car
were a ruse to shake" the other three,
and that OBrien afterwards returned
and assisted Davis in the murder. An
other report is that all five were in the
actcal killing Fyaryfhino in fhp
building was smashed and all liquors
were gone. 1t is thought that rob-
berry was contemplated and whether
or not it was their intention to kill
Phillip. the fact that he was killed in
cofsmection with the robbery-holds
them to the charge of murder.

INDIANS APPLY FOR WORK.
COMMISSIONER JONES BELIEVES
HE WILL SOLVE THE PERPLEX-
ING PROBLEM.

COMMISSIONER JONES BELIEVES
HE WILL SOLVE THE PERPLEX-
ING PROBLEM.
Washington, June 9.-The indica-
tions are that Commissioner Jones
will receive cooperation from certain
Indian tribes in his recently announced
policy Of securing contract work for
the reds. An effort was made to give
this matter sensational aspect in the
circulation of rumors that the Indian
bureau contemplated a plan of COM
pulsoly labor and that Commissioner
Jones would let out bands of Indians
for various forms of contract labor and
deliver them whether or not they were
willing to work.
Such system was never considered.
but the commissioner has put into op-
erations and it is not altogether new
to the Indian service. a plan whereby
contractors may secure Indian labor if
the consent of the individuals can be
obtained.
Two applications have been received
at the Indian Office, one from Pueblo
| utes in Utah, and the other from the
| Ogallala Sioux in South Dakota A
band of the former tribe desires to en-
gage in the culture of sugar beets on a
large farm in Colorado. They were
SO engaged last year and were so we'll
satisfied with their treatment and
wages that they desire to again engage
in the work.
In the Ogallala tribe, band of three
hundred braves have applied for per-
mission to work in the construction of
railroads and in digging bitches for
irrigation purposes. The Ogallalas
are not noted for industry. and if their
application is approved the band will
be accompanied by Indian officials
This policy, in the opinion of Commits.
sioner Jones, will do much to solve the
Indian question if it can be made eff
fective.

PANAMA ROUTE TO WIN.
Senator AIdrch Predicts a Favorable
and Early Vote.


Washington, June Ex-senator AL
drich of Rhode Island was asked what
he thought of the outlook for canal leg
islation and he replied:
"We shall have a vote in about a
week and will pass the Spooner bill
making the Panama route first choice"
"But you have been represented in
some newspapers as being for the Mic
aragua route?'
II should never vote to build an 18TH
mian canal among lot of volcanoes.
Mr.. Aldrich is perhaps the best judge
there is of what the senate is likely
to do. He has not been partisan of
either route.
Mr.. Cullom of Illinois is another SEN
ator who has been represented in East
ern papers as an advocate of Nicara-
qua. When asked about this Mr.. Cul-
lom said:
why, have just told Senator Nor
gan that am going to make speech
for the Panama route. He begged me
not to do it, but l told him that al
though 1 was formerly for Nicaragua,
and once made a speech for that route,
I now have become convinced the Pan
ANA line is the one we should adopt

TEN DEAD, MANY INJURED.
Horrible Fate of Inmates of Chicago
Sanitariun.

Horrible Fate of Inmates of Chicago
Sanitarium.
Chicago, June 11.-Ten lives were
lost and about twenty-five persons in
jured in fire that destroyed the old
Woodruff hotel,' Wabash avenue and
Twenty-first street, lately occupied by
the st. Luke society as a hospital for
inebriates.
Nine Of the victims were burned, as
the flames swept the five floors of the
building so rapidly that all chance of
escape was cut off. One man jumped
from ifth-story window and was
killed.
The long list of casualties was due
to the fact that many of the patients,
violent and uncomfortable, were men-
acled, while others, in addition, were
bound fast to their beds.
William E. Kent, the blind alderman,
was one of the victims. His body was
found lying on the floor of his room
burned to a crisp. Most Of the bodies
were charred beyond recognition.
Many of the seventy inmates of the
institution were badly burned before
being rescued and two were fatally
hurt by jumping from windows.
There were many heroic rescues by
the early arrivals at the fire. More
than thirty persons were carried down
the fire escapes; rescuers were badly
burned as they dragged the patients
from the building. In the panic that
followed the discovery Of the fire many
were trampled on. l.5...sE
All the men who were burned to
death were penned in their rooms.
Those who escaped to the Railways
were either rescued or jumped from
the windows. Weakened by some af-
Fiction for which they were under
treatment the victims were unable to
leave their rooms and many were
burned in their beds.

FIX BLAME FOR DISASTER.
Chicago's Hospital Catastrophe is Now
Being Investigated by the
Authorities.
President and Others Connected with
the Sanitarium are Under Arrest
At Present. "
Three of Thirty -Four Injured Expected
to Die, Making Total of Thirteen
Deaths.

Chicago, June 11.-Of the thirty-fou1
persons injured in the st. Luke Society
hospital fire it is feared that three will
die, thus bringing the total of deaths
to thirteen.
The other thirty-one injured persons
were reported better of their hurts
but most of them were badly shaken
in their nerves by the horror of what
they endured and witnessed.
The eight men arrested are still
held, including o. E. Miller, president
of the st. Luke society. Miller is said
to have lived in Denver at one time,
where he was in the banking business.
A search Of the records of the health
department failed to discover any rec
ord showing that the hospital had been
licensed according to the law.
Coroner Traeger sent his deputies
to view the victims of the fire, and de-
cided to postpone the inquest for few
days till complete investigation has
been made.
4 There will be full investigation ~
said the coroner, "and it may make
somebody uncomfortable. We will en-
deavor to discover if the patients were
strapped down, as reported, and if
there was sufficient number of at
tendants If any one of the deaths was
due to negligence the guilty person or
persons will be made to pay the pen.
atty"
Perhaps the most pitiable of all the
deaths was that of Alderman Blind
Billy Kent. Not only was he totally
blind, but he was incased in straight
jacket, with his hands strapped to his
waist. Kent was an astute politician
had been member of the state legisla
ture and was delegate to the Repub
ican national conventions of 1884
1888 and 1892. His blindness was due
to a gunshot wound received at the
hands of saloonkeeper.
Samuel K. Markham, attorney fol
the men under arrest, said that the so
ciety had applied several times for q
hospital license, but had always been
refused because the people in the
neighborhood of the hospital objected
to the location of such an institution
near them. He said that Mr.. Miller
applied for license after the society
moved into the Hotel Woodruff, but
had not received it.

Resolution to Investigate Discharge Of
Miss Taylor.

"lSS aylOIs
Washington, June 11.-Shortly after
the senate convened Mr.. Carmack
(Tenn.) introduced a resolution direct
ing the committee on civil service and
retrenchment to investigate the case
of Rebecca J. Taylor, a clerk in the
war department, who was discharged
from her position for the alleged rea-
son of criticising the administrations S
Philippine policy in communication
to the press. The committee was di-
rected to investigate the reasons for
her discharge. The resolution went
over under the rules.
Consideration of the naval appropri-
alton bill then was resumed, the pend
ing amendment being that providing
for the construction of two first class
battleships, two first class armored
cruisers and two gunboats.
Mr.. Perkins, a member of the COM
mittee on naval affairs, argued that
some of the vessels of the navy ought
to be constructed at government navy
yards and he argued that the admir-
ally equipped government yards ought
to be utilized.

Washington, June 1.-THE confer
ences on Cuban reciprocity have pro-
duced no agreement and the Republic
an senators on the Cuban relations
committee, Aldrich, Spooner and Platt,
have reached the conclusion that no
agreement can be reached without
full conference. Senators Aldrich and
Platt favor reporting the Spooner COM
promise bill to the senate at once and
the senate holding Republican con-
ference to determine what can be done
with that measure. Most of the other
senators believe that the better course
would be to hold conference first to
ASCERTAIN if the opposition of the SEN
ators who favor the rebate plan would
be sufficiently strong to insure the de-
feat of the compromise bill and if not
to separate the bill later, There seems
to be no improvement in the situation,
and the prospects for an agreement are
no brighter.
