THREE BISHOPS FOR CUBA.
Important Epoch in Reorganization Of
Catholic Church There.

Havana, Oct. 29.-Three new bishops
for the dioceses of Havana and Pinar
del Rio We're created yesterday. They
are the Rt. Rev. Pedro Gonzales Es-
trada, the Rt. Rev Bonaventure F.
Broderick, and the Rt. Rev. Manuel
Orue. The conservation was by the
Most Rev. P. L. Chapelle, archbishop
of New Orleans and apostolic dele
gate to Cuba and Porto Rico.
The solemn exercises were held In
the old historic cathedral. and were at
tended by President Palma and his
secretaries. the members of the diplo-
matte corps, and an immense throng OF
people. The event marks an inpor
tant epoch in the reorganization OF the
Catholic church in Cuba.
The separation of Cuba from the
Spanish sovereignty has brought about
radical changes in the condition of the
Catholic church in the island. On
account of the union of the church and
state the Spanish crown. in view of its
maintaining and defraying the church
expenses, had taken over the actual ad-
minstration OF its properties. With
the advent of the American occupation
the payment of the budget of public
worship ceased, but the intervening
government still held possession and
administration of ecclesiastical prop
erty. The church was confronted with
the twofold question. first to settle ac-
counts with the state, and second, to
adjust itself to it's new conditions.
In the meantime the holy see had ap-
pointed an apostolic delegate to Cuba.
Archbishop Chappelle and the first case
of the delegate was based upon the
dictates of equity and the guarantee of
the treaty of Paris to recover the ad-
ministration of the property.
Negotiations looking to that end
We're initiated by the apostolic dele
gate with the authorities in Washing
ton, and were carried out and brought
to a satisfactory conclusion by Bishop
Sbarretti and DIR. Broderick in behalf
of the church. and General Leonard
Wood, representing the United States.
In consequence of the separation of
church and state the purpose of the
holy see thru the apostolic delegate
has been TO place the external admin
istration of church affairs on a footing
similar TO that which exists in the Uni
ted States or the British empire. The
first important step in that direction
was the appointment of Monsignore
Barnada as archbishop of Cuba in June
1899. and Monsignore Sbarretti as
Bishop of HAVANA in December 1899.
Bishop Brodefich, auxiliary in the
diocese of Havana. is an American, and
is the youngest American clergyman to
wear the miter

HAVE STRONG CLUE
Now AImot Certain That Mabel Bechtel
Was Murdered by Her Brother -
Search of the Home Reveals Damas-
ing Evidence.

Allentown, Pa. Oct. 29.-No bail
has been offered as yet for Thomas
Bachtel. and Alfred Eckstein, brother
land sweetheart of Mabel Bechtel, who
was murdered last Monday. The
young men were committed to prison
in default of $4,000 bonds Neither is
charged with the murder OF the girl,
but both are detained as witnesses.
Mayor Lewis said today: "One of
these men is the murderer OF Mabel
Bechtel. We have nothing but cir
cumstantial evidence to guide us, but
so positive and indisputable is the
evidence, am ready to say that our
work is done. and the case Is really for
presentation to the coroner and grand
jury
The funeral Of the dead girl takes
place this afternoon.
Among the mass of conflicting state
ments made by the family, certain
facts stood out 1t seems remarkable
that a murderer should carry a part
of his victims clothing to a room inside
her own home, without arousing the
slumbering inmates, although Mrs.
Bechtcl explained it by saying that the
doors were newer locked. Even this
explanation led TO the inference that
the murderers were aware of this and
familiar With the habits of the Bechtel
family. One striking fact came To light
when the body was examined. Great
quantities of blood must have gushed
out of the head, yet the clothing was
not blooGstained, save for a mark on
tbs sleeve and across the front cf the
waist. When it was more carefully ex-
amined it Was found that The outer
garments were not fastened They haq
just been thrown on as 1t We're, but the
underclothing was literally saturated
with blood.
Ii was apparent that the girl had heen
killed While wearing her underwear on
~, and the probability seemed TO be
that she had been slain in bed.
The three brothers, John, Charles and
Thomas. with their sister Martha, We're
summoned to police headquarters.
While they were away the police seized
the opportunity to make a thorough
search of the house In the dead girls
room they found a blood stained apron.
The bed itself, the carpet and the walls
had marks that looked like crimson
