AN OLD WOMAN MURDERED.
Three Members OF Her Family are
Held by the Police.
(By the Associated Press. J

Washington, Dec. 11.-With six bullet
wounds in various parts OF her body, al
most any one of which would have caused
death, Mrs. Rachael Ann 3eall, seventy
one years OF age, was found murdered in
her home here today
Many mysterious features surround the
case. The police have two men and a
woman under arrest on suspicion of know
ing something about the crime. All Of
them are members of the murdered wo-
mans family, and all evidence points to
long standing family dispute as the
motive for the crime.
Those il custody are Andrew Weldon,
the husband of Beals step daughter,
and Charles Oelrich and his wife Jessie,
a son-in-aw and daughter.
Mrs. Oelrich admits discovering the
body, but il is said did not report to the
police for at least three hours. There
were evidence that an attempt had been
made to clean I'D the pool of blood on
the kitchen floor where Mrs. Beall had
fallen. Mrs. Oelrich admitted doing this.

Minister Powell has been officially in
formed that the provisional government is
not disposed to accept as final the settle
ments of the American claims made with
the late government of President Wos y
Gil. Minister Powell has replied that the
government of the United States considers
the cases Of the San Domingo company,
the rights of the Clyde Steamship com
panv under it's concessions and the claims
Of Sala and company, as having been final
" settled and that discussion of these
claims will not be reopened. The minister
has also informed the provisional govern
ment that he will not recognize the pro-
visional government until it acknowledges
all the agreements made with preceding
administrations.
The British, French, German and Bel
gian ministers have refused to recognize
the provisional government and Will not
give it formal recognition until similar ac-
ton is taken by the United States.
Quiet prevails here, though the financial
condition of the provisional government
is a desperate one.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE statements
attributed to General Macarthur as con-
tanned in last nights dispatch from Hoa.
olulu, in which he is alleged to have
predicted war in the immediate future be-
tween the United States and Germany.
have come to the notice of Secretary
Root. In an interview with the Associa
ted Press representative today the Sec
rotary said that the only information he
had on the subject was what ne mad seen
IN the newspapers. He did not, however,
regard it as case calling for action by
him, InaSmuch as the dispatch quote
General Macarthur as saying that the
statements in Colonel Jones report to
Governor Carter cid not correctly repre-
sent his views in any particular, and
utterly misrepreSent them in some. SecrC-
tary Root made the assertion that re-
marks of this character delivered in prl-
waite conversation would not necessarily
shield an officer from the requirement OF
an explanation, but he said that General
MacArtfur's denial carries with it the
weight of an explanation. l4e. therefore,
would take no action in the matter.
At the meeting OF the Cabinet today it
is said that the matter was discussed, as
a result OF which it seems likely tina.
Secretary Root will modify his view and
in the interest of fairness TO General Mac
Arthur, call upon nim fer an explana
ton upon his arrival in the United States
