He PROMISED IMMUNITY
Alleged King Peter Was cosnizant Of
the Assassination of Drasa and
Alexandra.

Berlin, Aug. 1S.-The Westphalia Ca
zette prints 3 letter from a person in
Belgrade, who is in confidential rela-
tons with leaders OF the recent con-
spiracy," explaining why King Peter
is completely in their hands, and does
not dare to do the slightest govern
mental act without their approval. The
writer atiirns the new king was cog
infant Of the conspiracy long before
the regicide was perpetrated and gave
the c~onspiratoTs q written pledge not
to punish them If he himself were
elected king. According to the letter
the following We're the circumstances
under which the pledge Was given:
After the plans Of Colonel Maschin
and Minister of Commerce Genshics
We're fully matured the latter went to
Geneva ar~dconsulted with Prince Peter
karageorsevitch, who expressed his
approval of the proposed murder and
promised immunity for the conspir-
ators. The minister returned to Bel
grade and informed the reecide com
m!ttee, which, however, was not salts
fed with a verbal promise. M. Genshic
thereupon returned to Geneva n OBJ
tanned a written agreement which ave
Prince Peters sanction to the assas-
sinations M promised exemption from
punishment. The conspirators still
have the letter, using it to tntimidate
the king into complete subservience to
their wishes.

The BUILDING OF
RAILROADS IN LUzON
Efforts Looking to Construction
OF Nearly Six Hundred Miles
Now Being Made.
GOVERNMENT TO GIVE AID
COVE TO GIVE AID
Ensineers Have Been Making Surveys
IN the Islands and Railroad Men
Look to an Extensive Scale
of Construction.

washington, Aug. -. - Secretary
fsoot mas been in correspondence with
governor a regarding the CONSTRUCT
Iion o. q system OF railroads in the
Ihllpplne islands amounting to some
ooo miles. 1t is proposed to build a line
rom Mania north through Luzon to
Tue hafbor at the northerInost end Of
the island. Another projected line is a
pfallch from this north and south line
over the mountain to the eastern coast,
Ahql1sr proposed line is from Manila
south to Batangas. 1t is authorized
also that a line be constructed a}ong
the west coast Of Luzon from Dagupan,
the present terminus of the Manila and
road, to the north end Of the
island.
Inc propositions which have been
eoLsldefed by the secretary of war and
tlle governor of the Philippines contem-
plate aid by the Philippine government
IN the construction of the proposed
roads. 1t is believed that a guarantee
OIL The interest in the amount of the
cost Of the roads in case the roads
prove unable to pay such interest out
OF the earnings will be sufficient to in
duce capital to invest in the different
enterprises. The Philippine govern
hieEt could not make grants Of lands to
aid in the construction of the roads.
& ASAsA i Is lilo VI -"o -
1T has been determined THAI the Phil
lpp!ne government has the authority
TO guarantee the interest on the rail-
'oad bonds, the payment of interest, If
made. to constitute a lien on the rail-
road property.
The secretary of war believes that
the construction of these roads would
be of immense benefit and would settle
for all time the question of possible
instructions in the islands of Luzon.
FOR police and patrol of the island
the roads, it is believed, would be far
superior to a regiment of soldiers,
While the cost of the regiment would be
nearly douale the amount of interest
the government would pay on the cost
of the railroad construction. The sec
rotary says the building of railroads in
Cuba have eliminated the prospects Of
disturbances in that portion of the ISL
and where constructed. He thinks a
similar result would follow the con-
struction of railroads in the Philip
pines.
Engineers nave been making surveys
In the islands and railroad men have
been in consultation with the secretary
of war on the subject, which has
reached such a stage that it is believed
early action will be taken looking to
the building of roads on an extensive
scale.

early today. Her husband. from whom
she filed suit for a divorce Wednesday,

near his home early today, when he dis
played a revolver.
The murder was most cold-blooded
and occurred while Mrs. Evans was
asleep. According to the hired girl. she
was by shots and a l~oud-voiced
man. After firing two shots at Mrs.
Evans, both of Which went wide OF the
mark, the MAJ caught hold Of lfrs.
Evans by the hair, dragged her to the
side OF the bed nearest him, deliberately
placed the revolver against the back
of her neck and fred. The shot liter
ally blew the woman's head off. The
murderer then escaped.

sion when a man accosted her In front
of her husbands place of business and
undertook to start a conversation, h
ran inside, got a whip nj thrashed
him soundly.
In her divorce petition she alleged
her husband vas generally worthless
and a drunkard, and also claimed that
she owned the transfer business, ask
ing that the decree urn it over 10 her.
