TRAGEDY in INSANE ASYLUM.
Mexican Eunatic Nails His Victims
Head to tho Floor.

+ City of Mexico, May 16.-At the San
Hipolita insane asylum yesterday Au-
brosio Samano Campo, one of the mast
dangerous inmates, succeeded in evad-
ing the vigilance of the guard. He In
duced another inmate to remove his
strait jacket. When this was accom-
plished he asked his companion to don
the garment, which he did without
protest. Then, laying his victim on the
floor Campo proceeded to drive large
spike thru his head into the floor. With
a shoemaker's knife, which by some
means he had contrived to secure, he
tried to shave his victim, but, finding
the latter's position inconvenient, re-
moved the spike and nailed the mans
head to the floor in a different manner.
This operation he repeated four times.
The dead man was a brother of Man
uel Maroon, prosecuting attorney In the
Belem Criminal court, and a well known
litterateur. When news of the tragedy
was conveyed to the lawyer he was
summing up the case in the trial OF
Jorge Lezama, who was finally sem
fenced to death for murder. As thS
attorney asked the terrible penalty for
Lezama tears We're streaming down his
cheeks. Samano Campo, who has been
in the asylum for nine years, was
powerful man. He believed himself
to be God on earth. Once he grasped
a man who refused to worship him
by the throat and struck his victims
head against the wall, fracturing the
skull Two years ago in fight with
another inmate who also claimed to be
God in heaven, Campo secured a club
and killed his OpDOnent

SMITHS VIEW OF HARMONY.

Sioux City, May 16.-Faw Iowa politi-
cal leaders are more popular personally
than Judge Walter I. Smith, of Council
Bluffs, congressman from the Ninth dis
trict.
Altho having vision of the agony
of the Shriners' work" before him,
Congressman Smith did not permit his
nerve-racking anticipation to interfere
with his usual genial and kindly nature.
Since the time of the republican state
convention at Cedar Rapids. when an
effort was made by factions to prevent
a hearing being given ty the Councii
Bluffs congressman, a hearing which
his own personality ater compelled,
overriding the passions of the conVen-
ton, Congressman Smith has steadily
grown in the public estimation.
From the time of his arrival here
Thursday afternoon Congressman
Smith was kept busy greeting friends.
He found time, however, to speak
good word for harmony in Iowa poll
tics and to deprecate Tie spreading OF
any stories to the effect that Senator
Allison would resign.
There is general feeling In our
part of the state,'' said the congress
man, that harmony Is to prevail. The
apparent program entered into by the
republicans, looking to a burial of fac
tional differences, is an Indication that
Republicans have come to the conclusion

that it would be unwise to precipltate a
fractional fight before a natonal con"
vention for the adoption of measures
which the national convention Woulo
not necessarily follow.
The present truce merely means
that the two elements of the party have
decided to waive their differences for
the present and leave The question OF
the tariff to be passed upon by the ma
tional convention. 1t does not mean
that either side TO the controversy has
surrendered anything"
Congressman Smith does not believe
that Senator Allison is even considering
the abandonment of his senatorial ca
reer.
"The senator once said to me- he re-
marked, during the life of Mckinley.
when his nome was being used in con-
nection with the presidential nomina-
ton, that he had no desire at his time of
life to take up the burdensome duties
of that great office He did say, how
ever that he felt himself fitted by his
training and experience to continue his
duties as United States senator. and did
not feel, at his time of life, like retiring
into idleness."

Data Gathered in Iowa to Show st.
Louis Typhoid Is No Worse.
Davenport, May 16.-B. w. Mcii-
vaine, a prominent citizen of st. Louis,
and who is directly connected with the
big fight that is going on against the
drainage canal, was in Davenport on
Thursday and spent the entire day at
the court house searching the records
for data that are to be used in the sui t
Eow pending.
Mr.. McIlvaine is taking complete
record of the health statistics OF all the
cities along the Mississippi to be used
in comparison with the health records
OF st. Louis.
He is looking more particularly for
the record of death that resulted from
typhoid fever and this is to be used as
evidence that the Mississippi is not the
cause of the great amount of typhoid
fever which it is claimed exists In st.
Louis.
Besides visiting Davenport Mr.. Neil
iyaine was at Rock Island and Moline
land he will stop at Muscatine and Bur-
tlington on the way home.
| A complete report of the death record
will then be made out and table Will
| he prepared showing the larger per-
centage Of deaths resulting from ty-
phoid fever in ST. Louis than in the 9TH
| er towns along the river.
This will be used as evidence that the
drainage canal is communicating the
water that flows by and is used by the
| city and will be one of the arguments to
be used In the attenp. that is being
made to have 1t closed.

MILES IN PRINT AGAIN.
Publishes Letter on His Trip to The
Philippines.

fhitippineS.
New York. May l6.-The Army and
Navy Journal today prints a letter
from Gen. Nelson A. Miles, in which the
writer says that he went to the Philip
pine islands not as a tourist, but in an
official capacity, and that the instruc-
tions addressed to him as lieutenant
general commanding the army" came
from the highest authority, viz: the
president, in which he was directed to
give especial attention to the instruc-
tion on discipline and supplies OF the
army,
In referring to his official report on
the Philippines, General Miles says that
no one can have a more sacred regard
for the honor of the army than myself. :
Coming to the subject of cruelties in
the Philippines. General Miles letter
reads as follows:
1T is idle to assume that canpaign-
ing in the Philippines has conditions
that warrant resort to medieval cruel
ty and a departure from the honorable
method of conducting the warfare, and
that such departures as have existed be
overlooked and coIdoned.

offenses have not been committed by
the soldiers unless they We're under the
direct orders Of certain officers VINO

ers, protested against acts of cruelty,
and written to relatives at home urging
them to take action to put stop to
those crimes. 1t will ever be one OF
the glories of the army that such deeds
committed by whatever authority are
abhorrent to the American soldier.
The officers who are responsible, using
chiefly cruel Maccabebes, do not by
any means constitute the American
army, and there must be a very un-
mistakable line drawn between the
great body of honorable and faithful
officers whose records have been COM
mendable and those of whatever sta

taken to the station and the shell placed

THREW PEPPER IN JUDGES EYES
Woman Who Lost Case in Court Takes
Rexenne on Iudue.

Cincinnati, Ohio, May 16.--Displeas-
ed over the outcome of a case in police
court yesterday morning, Mrs. "A. IL
Leland, aged SO years, tried to blind
Judge William Fl. Luders in his office
last yesterday afternoon by throwing
cayenne pepper into hi seyes. He was
hastily taken to the hospital. where the
physician stated that no serious dam
age had been done.
Mrs. Leland appeared in police court
this morning as the prosecuting Wit
ness against Police officer Ogden, who
she claimed struck her. The test-
mony showed that the woman hao
thrown stones at the officer, and had
acted otherwise in such n way that the
court held that Ogden was justified ir
any action of forcible nature that nae
to be taken toward her, and dismissed
the officer Mrs. Leland left the court
crying vengeance against the officer
and Judge Luders. After leaving the
city hall the woman evidently purchased
a large quantity of capenne pepper and
proceeded to the law office of Judge
Luders. When the judge appeared the
woman took a package from the folds
of her dress and with deliberate calm
ness said: Here, Judge Luders,' ane
threw the pepper into his face, COM

the doctors say that the sight will not
be impaired and that no bad results
will ensue.
The woman was arrested and made

POWERS LIMITED
United States Not in Position to In
terfere in Behalf of the Prosecuted
Jews in Russia-lts Moral Influence
Exerted to Secure Better Conditions.

Washington, May 16.-Marked copies
of Jewish newspapers and personal
representations are pouring in upon
the state department., al relating TO
the reported killing and maltreatment
of Jews in Bessarbia. Some at least, of
these show a misunderstanding of the
situation and of the Limitations of the
powers OF the state department in deal
Ing with the matter. Ambassador Nc
Corrnick has been criticized for denys
ing any massacre occurred. 1t is said
.at the department that the ambassador
made no statement of his own on the
subject. He simply transmitted tex
ually, the reply of the Russian govern
ment to the request made by the United
States. that relief funds be admitted
for distribution among the sufferers.
The Russian governments reply, pub
lished at the time, was that there was
no suffering as had been reported, and
no occasion for relief. Mccormick
could not question the veracity of his
official information, and sent the denial
ing it upon the Russian government.
The state department feels that 1t can
do no more than 1t has done, in the
cause of the oppressed Jews. 1t has
not learned. officially, that a single one
of them is an American citizen SO that
1t has no warrant for interference.
There is no parallel between the cases
of the Jews in Roumania and those in
Russia. In the case of the Jews In
Roumania, 1t is said at the state de-
partment that the United States had
ground for intervention because of the
Roumanian governments action was
injuring the United States by dumpins
q harde of undesirable immigrants
upon her shores. 1t is not asserted this
result would follow the Russian act
which moreover, it is pointed out. IL
not official. 1t is precisely as If Count
Cassini should present himself to Sec
retary Hay, and in the name of his
government protest against the report
ed lynching of negroes by mobs In this
country, which would probably resul,
| in a polite indication to the ambassador
that he was going beyond the limits

officially, but it may be added that thu
| limited action taken by the unitee
States has served the purpose to make
known to the Russian government tha1

amelioration of the conditions OF the
