NOTHING OF A DIAz ABOUT HIM
Was Nervous and Fearful and Lacking
IN Iron
Announcement OF His Demand for
Intervention Surprises Havana
Even Gov. Nunez Kept
in the Dark.

Havana. Oct 6.-None of ex-Presi- /
dent Palma's intimates save the cabi- /
net officers. his private secretary and |
Consul General Steinhardt had any
knowledge of Palma's communication
in September to the government at
Washington asking Intervention, and
the greatest surprise is manifested at
the fact that Palma actually suggest
cd Intervention as a solution. Vice
President Mendez Capote, as an attor
ney, had privately advised certain for
elgn corporations that in his opinion
the necessity for intervention was inn
mincnt. but that Palma had asked out
right for Intervention was not intimated
by anybody. 1t was well known that
Palma was nervous and fearful, but it
was not generally believed that he
was so ready to give up, although it
had often been rumored that he was
weakening.
Governor Nunez Is Surprised.
Governor Nunez, who visited Palma
daily perhaps as often as any one ex-
cepting the vice president and cabinet
officers, said that he thought it very
strange that. Palma had taken such a
step without Informing him. He did
not wish TO express an opinion of the
ex-pres.dent's action, but it was GER
tainly all the more strange in view OF
the fact that the government felt and
! had every reason TO believe that it was
! fully able to control the situation with
out United States assistance. NuneZ
believed the government forces could
have successfully resisted an attack on
Havana, and that with its increasing
army the government could have event
ually suppressed the rebellion.
= Palma Gave Way to Panic.
The prevalent comment now is that
I Palma gave way to panic in far
| greater degree than was Indicated in
| his call on Sleeper, the United States
charge d'affaires at Havana, and Com
mander Colwell to land the United
States cruiser Denver's sailors. Ex-
| Secretary OF State and Justice O'Far-
4 rill declined to be quoted on the sub
jcct Of Palma's Washington CORE
spondence He alleged that the Wash
ington dispatches giving the text Of
the correspondence were erroneous in
certain respects. He declined. how
ever, to specify in what respect they
were erroneous.
Disarmament Progresses Rapidly.
While the disarmament Of the rebels
Will not be completed tonight it is now
confidently expected that the entire OPP

province, which has been less affected
than any other province by the rebel

The subway is in course of construc-

pany for the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit company. The exact cause of the
explosion has not yet been determined.
Workmen in the excavation had dis
cerned the odor Of gas, and the United
Gas Improvement company, whose
conduits run through the tunnel, were
notified. Leans was sent by the COM
pany to find the leak and repair it. 1t
was while he was making his investi-

Lucky 1t Had Rained.
Heavy rains had partly filed the
tunnel with water and stopped work,
otherwise there would have been a
large force of workmen in the subway

loss of life would have been frightfuI.
Trolley car passengers and pedestrians
were among the injured.

A MOST HEINOUS CRIME.
Young Lady Foully Murdered and
Thrown in a MarI Hole.

Our community was shocked this
spread rapidly from end of the city to
the other, of tHcost brutal murder,
which was committed about 4 miles
frGm Fremont, some time late yester-
day afternoon.
The victim was a:young lady, about
Is years of age, whese given name we
could not learn, daughter Of a farmer
by the name of Waddell.
We were unable to get full particu-
lars, but a telephone message from
lows:
Young Miss Waddel1 left her home
alone yesterday afternoon about four
O'Clock to visit her friend a Miss Hol-
land, who aives about a half mile dis
tant.
Nothing more was thought about the
matter, the family supposing she was
at the above place, until several hours
had elapsed, when they became sus-
picious and went over to the Holland
lIOuS0 W luduIIC dDout uof, dllu "uoiA
they reached there, they found to their
surprise that she had not been Their. at
all.
The young lady's parents then be-
came more alarmed than ever, and a
search was instituted for her where
abOuts.
After an hours hunt, her dead body
was found in a mari hole, in the woods
not far distant.
The body bore evidences of foul play,
and upon examination it was found that
her lip was split open, her neck fright
fully bruised and scratched showing
u~nmistakable evidence of ~strangula-
ton, and her face was scratched and
swollen almost beyond recognition.
A few feet distant from her watery
grave. lay her umbrella, and the ground
was torn up and gave evidence that
the young lady had fought bravely for
her life.
The supposition is that while the
young lady was on her way to visit
Miss Holland, she was overtaken by
some brute and dragged to the woods
where she was strangled to death and
then thrown into the mari hole.
Coroner Stanley was notified and is
an investigation.

After the jurors had been sworn in
the usual manner, Judge Webb pro-
ceeded at once with his charge, which
was one of the best we have ever heard

comprehensive explanation of the law

with which the jury has to deal.
So simple was his language, explana-

the jury need have no doubt as to their
duty-and no excuse for failure tc
honestly discharge same.
During the course of his remarks
