.ENTOMBED ALIVE
WITH A CORPSE
The Beautiful Itaian MarchlOness
CasteIIane.
BODY DISCOVERED IN A CAsKET.
She Had Been Visiting a Vault at
Night to Pray Beside the Remains
of Her How Her Body Came
to Get Into the Casket With That
of the Banker a Mystery.

Florence, Italy (By Cable) Search
for the Marchioness Magdalen Cas-
tellare, beautiful and accomplished
member of the Italian nobility. end
was entombed alive with a corpse.
Her body was found in the coffin with
Signor Rossi banker. who died a
few days before her recent disappear
ance.
Her face, convulsed with terror
and her limbs contorted with the
frightful efforts she evidently made
for liberty, the woman's expression
and attitude bear testimony to the
agony of her struggle with death.
Italian society, in which the march
ioness was so prominent a figure,
is hysterical with horror at the trag-
edy.
The exact nature of the accident
which cost the woman's life can
never be known. 1t Is conjectured
that she visited the cemetery to pray
at the grave of her dead sweetheart,
Count Franchi, wandered by mistake
into the vault in which Rossi's coffin
lay, swooned when she saw the
corpse in the open coffin and fell
into the casket and upon the bankers
body.
Attendants promptly clamped the
lid on the casket in the darkness
soon afterward without seeing that
two forms lay inside. Asphyxiation
must have caused the marchioness'
death
The marchioness' fate would prob
ably never have been known had not
Rossi's family decided to open his
coffin for the last time Thursday be-
fore sealing 1t up in its niche in the
vault.
Such was the shock of the horrible
discovery which followed the lifting
of the lid that one of Rossi's daugh-
ters tainted and is now in critical
condition at her home.
A cemetery attendant who aided
in closing the. coffin the night the
marchioness visited the place has
gone temporarily mad and raves con-
stantly of the awful error which cost
the woman's life.
The marchioness, who was consid-
cred one of the most beautiful women
in Italy, was inconsolable when her
wooer, Count Franchi, died, and Wis
tied the cemetery many time both
day and night to place flowers on his
grave and offer up prayers for his
soul.
The authorities have ordeed a rig
orous investigation.

The Japanese Admiral Predicts Clear
Skies--We Are Close Neighbors

New York Especially. - Viscount
Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, who
attended the reception in honor of
Admiral Yamamoto, issued, through
his secretary, a reassertion of his
previous declaration that there Is no
"Japanese-American situation" and
that all talk of trouble between the
two nations is a phantom crea-
tion of irresponsible trouble-mak-
ers and trouble-hunters. If there
be any cause for anxiety, he said
it Is due to the influence of un-
warranted press talk that often
tends to drive even the clamest tenn
per of the public into a whirl of tenn
pestuous rage"

will between Japan and the United

ing Rear Admiral Coghlan, Ambas-
sador Aoki and Thomas ]. O'Brien,

said:
"It was my intention to pay my
respects to the American nation and
the worthy President on my way home

visit of respect to the President.
Both the distinguished Japanese
having taken advantage Of every OPP
portunity to make public declarations
of the peaceful and friendly inten-

take of the same pacific character.

AGREEMENT WITH THE CHURCH
Property Questions in the Philippines
Are Settled.

Washington Especially An agree
ment has been reached between the
Secretary of War and the represen-
tatives of the Catholic Church in the
Philippine Islands regarding a num-
Der of important matters of contro-
versy which will obviate the neces-
sity of prolonging threatening vexa-
tious litigations. Regarding the
landed properties, the agreement pro-
vides that The Roman Catholic
Church, through the Archbishop of
Manila, shall possess In absolute title
the land and property pertaining to
the Hospital of San Jose, the Hospital
of San Juan de Dios, the College of
San Jose, the Hospital Of San Jose in
Cavite and the College of Santa Isa-
bella. These properties were valued
at S2,066,000.
The church relinquishes to the gov
ernment of the Philippines all claims
and demands upon the estate of San
ia Potenciana, and upon the hospi-
tai and foundation of San Lazaro,
except thot the arch bishop Is TO re-
tain possession of the block in which
the present Santa Cruz Cemetery Is
situated and of SO hectares north
of the hospital.
Bank Dispute Settled
The Spanish Filipino Bank dispute
was also settled, by which all claims
to exclusive privileges and TO note is
sues beyond the amount approved by
the American government are aban-
doned; but, on the other hand, the
bank receives the confirmation with
out litigation and important privi-
leges.
The circulation to be allowed the
bank is twice the amount of its capi-
tai - 100000 pesos, representing
the capital and surplus, and 100000
pesos, to be secured by the deposit
of approved bonds and stocks If
the bank increases its capital and
surplus the circulation may be in
creased to not exceeding 100000
pesos (S4.500,00O). This circula-
tion is to be taxed one half of one
per cent. per year, while the circula-
tion based upon securities will be
taxed one per cent. per year.
Mr.. Wade's Statement.
The notes of the bank from the
first of January next are to constitute
"a preferred lien on its assets, and
will be issued through the bureau of
insular affairs with the same charac-
ter and appearance as United States
currency. While the government has
reserved a right to incorporate other
banks of issue provision is made that
no such bank shall be incorporated
hereafter with a capital and surplus
Of less than 100000 pesos.
For several months Secretary Taft,
with the assistance of General Ed
wards and Major Mcintyre, of the
Insular Bureau, has been working

questions involved. They availed
themselves of the presence in the

Trust Company of st. Louis, who had
been authorized by the Archbishop to
represent him in the. practical as
poets of the settlement

was one of the most fair and equita-
BILE with which he had ever been
connected. The bank matter came
into the question of settlement for
the reason that a majority of the
stock is controlled by the church
