MRS. sTANFoRD's TRAGIC DEATH
Recalled by q Sensational Story Print
ed in Honolulu.

HONOLULU, August 24.-The tragic
death of Mrs. Jane Stanford has been
called by a sensational story published here
to the effect that representatives of the
Stanford estate practically offered monetary
inducements to local physicians to change
their opinion that strychnine caused the
death of Mrs. Stanford. 1t is alleged that
the bill of $50 of Dr. c. B. Wood, who per-
formed the autopsy on the body of Mrs.
Stanford, has been refused payment by the
estate on the ground that territorial author
tiles should have performed the autopsy.
DIR. Wood declared he was employed on be-
half of the estate by DR.. Humphries, and
the latter said that he considered the re-
fusal to pay DR.. Wood TO be amazing, as
he considered the employment of a private
autopsy physician to be proper,
The Star in its story of the matter says
that In different interviews a representative
of the estate indicated to the physicians
that il would be satisfactory to the estate
If they could revise their findings of poison
ing. and in such event their bills We're not
to be questioned, and Doctors Humphres,
Day and Wood would be paid the amount OF
their claims of $50.
All three doctors are preparing state
ment to place their version of the scientific
facts of the before the public, in a
final justification of the decision concern
ing the cause of the death of Mrs. Stan
ford.

AT OYSTER BAY TODAY
PRESIDENT AWAITING DEVELOP
MENTs IN PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., August 24.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is awaiting developments In
the pending negotiations for peace. Beyond
his direct appeal to Emperor Nicholas of
Russia he does not feel that he can go at
this time. There are reasons for the state
ments that the President also has made
some representations to the Tokyo govern
ment, but whether they were made direct
to the japanese emperor is not known. No
confirmation of the report, however, is OBJ
tainable here.
Acting Secretary Barnes said today that
Ambassador Meyers report Of his audience
with Emperor Nicholas. cabled yesterday
from st. Petersburg, had not been received.
Assistant Secretary Of State Peirce at
Portsmouth is keeping the President ad-
vised constantly of the developments of the
conference.
President Roosevelt passed the day in
and about Sycamore Hill No visitors were
received. With the assistance Of Secretary
Barnes the President disposed Of a mass
of official business, much Of it being of
routine character.

FRENCH DEMAND REDRESS.
Ministry Takes Action Against Mo-
rocco in Arrest Case,

PARIS, August 24.-The ministers under
the presidency of Premier Rouvier held
lengthy special session today. 1t was prin-
cipally devoted to a consideration Of the
disciplinary measures tU be taken against
Morocco should the sultan not yield to the
demands Of the government for redress for
the recent arrest of a Franco-Algerian citi-
zen.
An official communication says that
unanimous approval was given to the in
structions to be sent to the French minis
ter at Fee, St. Rene Taillandier, and to the
subsequent action to be taken to compel
the sultan to give complete satisfaction.
The nature of this action is not disclosed.
but 1t Is known that 1t contemplates the
military occupation of a Moroccan town
near the Algerian frontier, probably Oudj-
da, owing to its proximity to a large
French garrison in Algeria and to its
strategic importance. as it commands the
route to the interior of Morocco and the
capital. Fee. The latest official advices
from Fec show that the sultan continues
to hold the Algerian prisoner.
The communication does not refer to the
peace negotiation although 1t is under
stood that the ministers informally dis
cussed the general prospects of peace.
Following the meeting Premier Rouvier
sent instructions to the French minister to
demand the immediate release of the pris-
oner. informing him that military dem
onstration would be made in case Of neg
ative response.

Three Monitors With Large Number
Of Midshipmen.

The Navy Department is informed that
the United States monitors Arkansas. Flor
ida and Nevada left New London yesterday
for this city. where they are due about
Saturday. The interesting feature of the
visit of these vessels is that they carry
large number of midshipmen from the
Naval Academy, who are just completing
cruise of instruction along the Atlantic
coast as far north as New England. The
purpose of their visit to this vicinity is to
inspect the naval proving grounds at Indian
Head Md, and the manufacture of guns
and other ordnance at the Washington navy
yard.
Although there Is no certainty on that
point 1t is probable that the midshipmen
will be given a few hours shore liberty
during their stay In this city in order that
they may visit their friends.
