TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER VIC
TINS OF FORMERS INSANITY.

NEW YORK, May Mrs Mary Waters
entered the room Of her home in West 18th
street. where her two daughters, Agatha
and Ruth, lay sleeping early today, and
shot and killed Agatha. the eldest and her
favorite, and without attempting to harm
Ruth, then killed herself. Temporary in
sanity due to worry over the daughter 8
ill-health is assigned as the reason. Mrs.
Waters was the wife of John R. Waters.
a well-to-do insurance broker, and was
fifty-two years old. Agatha was twenty
six and Ruth is seventeen.
The mother who has been melancholy
for a long period, had grieved over the
thought that Agatha, who was her almost
constant compa MON. expected to sail for
Europe next Saturday in the hope of re-
covering her health. During Sunday the
mother had displayed no symptoms of men,
tai disturbance, but had spent a portion
of. the day in planning the trip which
Agatha was to have in Europe.
About o'clock this morning Mrs. Waters
entered the room occupied by the two girls
and, placing the revolver at the temple
of her daughter fired, killing her instant
ly. She then left the ROOM and as she de-
scended the stairs she sent a bullet into
her own head. She died almost instantly
her body falling at the feet of her husband,
who had been awakened at the first shot
and was hurrying forward to ascertain the
cause of II.

RIOTS IN GUADELOUPE
AMERICAN WARSHIP WILL BE
DISPATCHED TO THE SCENE.

Riotng In Guadeloupe, French West
Indies, incidental to the election held yes
terday, caused the State Department to ask
that q United States warship be sent at
once to the scene of the trouble, and Com
mander Switzerland, senior naval officer at
Santo Domingo, was instructed today by
the Navy Department to send one of the
six American warships in Dominican wa
tiers Immediately to the scene of the trouble
News OF mob rule in Guadeloupe reached
the State Department in a dispatch from
G. Jarvis Bowens, United States consul at
that place. saying that the situation was
serious, as the rioting was beyond local
control. For three weeks there have been
ant reelection troubles, which eliminated
yesterday, which was election day.
Six United States warships are available,
the Yankee Dubuque Paducah, Newport,
Scorpion and Nashville, and 1t is not known
which vessel Commander Southerland will
select for the mission. The French ambas-
sador, Mr.. Jusserand called at the State De-
partment this morning and said he has had
no advices from his government concerning
the rioting in GuadelOupe. Three French
warshipS are In West Indian waters, and
Mr Jusserand thinks at least one of them
was sent to Guadeloupe in anticipation of
election disturbances. The issues In the
island, the amba ssador says, purely
local and great rivalry exists between the
two parties. which do not reflect the po-
litical views of the parties in France.
There are few Americans in Guadeloupe,
and those who are there are agents of
American commercial houses. Guadeloupe
Is really two islands, both of which are
small. The United States consulate Is at
Pointe a Pitre, on the eastern island, and
the capital OF the province is Basse-Terre.
Guadeloupe is about go miles from santo

QUARTER OF A MILLION
BEING FED BY
ARMY AT SAN FRANCISCO.

Two dispatches were received at the War
Department from Maj. Gen. Greedy, COM
manding at San Francisco, in regard to
conditions in that city. In the first, dated
Saturday, Gen. Greedy said:
Conditions today slightly improved. FL
nance committee feel a little more conf
dent. Number rations issued today In San
Francisco. O,OO0. Nothing further of spe-
cial Importance to report.
In report dated yesterday Gen. Greely
said:
Conditions are steadily improving. Ar
rival of thirty-six officers permits assign
ments to numerous camps of commanding
officers to insure decency order sanitation.
Rough estimates place number of persons
thus living at $4,000. Naturally such large
bodies become threatening factors as re-
CARDS the future health of city. When
practicable further report will be made on
the number of campers, which is apparently
increasing. Registration and census of theif
number is progressing. Presumably mouths
fed today will approximate quarter Of mil
lion. Am proceeding with methods calcu-
lated to largely reduce this number through
institution of facilities for cheap meals and
gradual restrictions on issue to male adults.
Rations are plentiful far flour and
potatoes go, but extremely limited as to
other articles.
