since that day I have been unable
to hear or utter a word.
"Just as soon as lost my hear
ing powers / saw a beautiful light
in one corner of the room. It re-
minded me of lightning. In the
midst of this light there appeared
an angel. 1 remember the suene
perfectly. The vision lasted for
few minutes ooly, ard ;hen disap-
peared as suddenly as IT had come."
London, June 18-Dispatches to
the Daily Mail from Tangier state
that the American naval officers
there have become incensed at the
action of the sultan of Morocco in
bringing native troops from Cassa-
blanca into Tangier and Fee, thus
wantonly disregarding the express
stipulation Of the bandit Raisuli for
the release of Messrs. Perdicaris
and Varley, and delaying their re-
lease. Protests against this action
of the sultan have also been made
by the British authorities.
The Americans are prepared to
take energetic measures if the saltan
continues to pay no heed TO the
protests. The American naval COM
mander is considering the advisa-
bility of landing loco marines to
occupy the town of Tangier until
the sultan withdraws the troops.
Gibraltar, June 1S.-Owing to
the representations of Rear.Admir-
al Chadwick, of the American
squadron in this water, to the Brit
ism legation, H. M. S. Prince of
Wales, one of Great Britain's first
class battle chips attached to the
Mediterranean squadron, has been
ordered to return to Tangier, there
to remain until the conclusion of
the negotiations now proceeding
for the release of Messrs. Perdicaris
and Varley by the brigand Raisuli.
Helsingfors, Finland, June IL
The Russian flag at half-mast
over the governors palace this
morning proclaimed to the people
of Helsingfors that General Bobri-
kof, governor-general of Finland,
was dead of a bullet wound inhict-
ed by an assassin. There was no
excitement in the city, and no at
tempt at demonstration was made.
The father, mother, brothers and
sisters OF Schaumann, the assassin
of Bobrikcf, were arrested and SUBJ
ljected to searching examination,
but late this evening they were re-
leased and allowed to return to
their country home.
How far the swedish party is
implicated in the killing of the gov
ernor-general has not been estab.
lished, but the authorities are con-
vinced that Schaumann, who COM
mitted suicide, had accomplices
who found in the brooding, half
fanatical student a ready tool.
| Warning of the intended assina-
ton of the governor-general reach
ed the authorities last December,
but Bobrikof, against the pleading
of his official family, declined an
escort. A few months later, this
warning was repeated and Bobri-
kof thereafter was attended by a
small guard, and a number of Sc
cret service men, except within the
state building, the guard having
requested permission to furnish pro-
lection for the governor there.
1t appears that General Bobri-
kof never had a chance to survive.
The surgeons had only the slender
est hope from the operation which
they performed, and they real zed
, that death was almost inevitable
During the operation the pulse al.
together ceased more than once
The injuries inflicted were 60 terri.
Bile as to indicate that the bullet
, was of an explosive rature'
f When the operation was complet.
ed, the patient regained and main
, tanned consciousness for about thres
! hours, during which time he spoke
q few words to his wife and daugh'
ters. Then at l O'Clock he became
unconscious and remained SO unit
he died.
O 1t is said that Schaumann' faith
g er, who was member of the sen
t ate, retired from public life becaus'
: he was opposed to Finland's becom
9 ing an integral portion of the Rus
