clues to the perpetrator of a revolving
murder committed early today

parently an Italian, wrapped in the bag

lice disclosed parts of a mans legs from

Head and Thighs Missing.
The head and the thighs of the man are
missing. 1t is the theory of the police
that the murder was committed near
where the body was found and that three
packages of the dismembered parts had
been made with the purpose of disposing
OF them at some distance from the scene
of the crime. The police believe that the
persons carrying the bundles became
az the nearest convenient hiding places.
They are looking for a third package
Coroner's Physician Weston, who ex-
aInined the body, said that the work of
dismemberment had been deliberately and
skillfully done. He said that from APP
pearances the remains were those of an
Italian or Syrian. The body had been
washed after death. which evidently had
preceded the discovery of the murder only
a few hours. The physician said that
death occurred after Saturday midnight

REF0RNER IS
NOT ELIGIBLE
New York Republicans Afraid
Hughes Would Smash Things
if Made Governor.
DELEGATES AT SARATOGA
TIP ON CANDIDATES ONLY
KNOWN TO LEADERS.

Saratoga, n. Y, Sept. 23.-The situa-
ton is practically at a standstiIl as the
leaders and delegates gathered for the
Republican state convention are all
frankly dependent upon the final word
from Governor Higgins as to whether
or not he will consent to stand for a
denomination. That decision, il is said.
VIII be given by the governor from AL
bany tomorrow.
There is real uncertainty as to what
1t will be, though most of the leaders
who have been i'm his confidence incline
TO the belief that he will refuse to be
candidate.
Meanwhile there has been active
speculation as to who will be chosen
Tor the head of the ticket If the gov
ernor should decline. The names of
Lieutenant Governor Bruce, Charles E
Hughes and Timothy l.. Woodruff are
the most prominently mentioned.
Might Smash Things.
While it is acknowledged that MIR.
hughes would be a strong candidate, 1t
is freely asserted that the upstate pol
1ticians do not take kindly to him. Per
maps IL would be nearer the truth TO
quote from one of the leaders who re-
marked that mo one can tell what
Hughes would do if he were governor:
ne might smash things, and none Of us
can tell whether he himself would not
be among those hurt"
Another statement made tonight is
that the nomination of Hughes would
be regarded as practically a victory for
Odell, as Hughes was his candidate
originally. In this connection il is said
that Governor Higgins friends are not
favorable to Hughes.
Bruce Not a Fayorite.
As to Mr.. Bruce, 1t is intimafed that
he Is not a fayorite in New York coun-
~, but that he has a strong following
upstate. Until they have a definite
OASIS to work on, the men who will de-
termine the result will not get down to
the active work of slate making
II is generally supposed that Lieu
tenant Governor Bruce viii be tenn
porary chairman of the convention. and
that the permanent chairman will be
State Senator w. w. Armstrong of
Rochester, who was chairman of the
special legislative committee that in
Nestigated the insurance business.
Platform Not Considered.
Little attention is being given to the
platform by the most active politicians
although the main features have been
outlined. 1t will heartily endorse the
national and state administrations and
strongly commend Republican IegisIa-
ton both in congress and the state leg
islature
Chairman Odell of the state commit
tee arrived this evening, but made II
apparent that he was not taking any
part in the settlement of the situation
which confronts the Republicans Of
New York state at this time.

Sept. Z. The father wrote that his wish
was to get back to Chicago with ali
speed. He advised his son not to do any
thing to delay the return. nd asked onx-
that his son and daughter meet and greet
him in New York.
The daughter did not come to New
York, as IL was believed inadvisable for
the sake of her health
AS the young man put it. he came here
to give his father courage.
The officers said no interviews would
be allowed to be made by Stensland on
the Chicago journey. Young Mr. Stems

to take his force to Mariana, which will
be done tomorrow
There was considerable comment to-
day over the fact that a salute Of nine
teen guns was given Secretary Taft
when he visited the warships. Pre-
viously he had been given the usual
seventeen guns TO which the secretary
of war is entitled The two extra guns
means that he is recognized as an am
basSador extraordinary on a special
mission with plenary powers from
President Roosevelt. 1t is known that
he has nov been authorized to exercise
his own judgment i'm all matters per-
tanning to negotiations and that the
squadron with its entire force is under
his immediate control
Marines Not Landed.
Concerning the reported preparations
Saturday night for the transportation
of marines and bluejackets by rail to
Camp Columbia. Secretary Taft said
today:
The United States forces are under
my orders. 1 have given no orders
for them to land, and not u man shall
land until ] give such an order"
Tt now appears that Acting Secretary
of the Interior Montalvo ordered the
trains prepared in anticipation of the
possible landing of a supply of quar-
termaster's stores at the wharf. The
captain of the port gave color TO the re-
port that they had been placed there
in readiness for the landing of men.
The stores consisted of tent fioorings,
poles, pegs, water barrels and 10000
rounds of ammunition. Captain Cou-
den, commander of the squadron, today
explained that the stores were hur-
riedly placed aboard the cruiser New
ark when she sailed for Cuba and that
they so en- cumbsred her deck as to in
terfere with ventilation, and that ii was
necessary TO hire space ashore where
they might be stored. Captain COuden
also said that if no occasion arose for
the use of these stores they would be
placed aboard the supply ship Celtic
when she arrives.
Fortifcations Examined.
Lieutenant Commander Chaplin, in
command of a brigade of bluejackets,
today completed a thorough eXamina-
ton of the Notifications of Havana and
reported that in the event of a future
occupation of the island the city could
be fully protected.
President Palma spent the quietest
day he has passed since the outbreak
of the revolution. remaining with his
family i'm the residence portion of the
palace nearly the entire day. Among
| he flood of rUmOTS current was one
that the family OF President Palma had
embarked on a vessel bound for New
York. which is untrue.
Nothing noteworthy took place in
government circles today. All the Of
ficialS are awaiting the outcome OF the
peace negotiations. There still are oc-
caSional deSertions of government
troops to the rebel ranks.
