patient and arrived at the asylum safely
The patient was not violent and wore no
shackles. Within the building, as Ma
loney and his man entered a private room,
the lunatic showed the officer into the
room and locked the door from the out
side. Then he turned the key over to the
authorities. telling them to watch their
man closely. AfterwaTd he calmly walked
out of the building and disappeared.
Maloney insisted that he was the officer
ard became violently angry because he
was kept a prisoner. Finally he asked
that the police captain in Omaha be teIe-
phoned for, and ALaloney was then re-
leased. The lunatic has not been arrested.

Death-His COachman Killed.
An attempt to assassinate the President
of Guatemala was reported to the State
Department yesterday by the American
Minister to Guatemala, Joseph ". C. Lee.
The attempted assassination occurred in
the streets of Guatemala City Monday.
A bomb was thrown under the carriage
of President Cabrera as he was driving in
the streets, and it exploded, killing the
coaehman. a military attache, who ae-
companied the President, and wOunding
the President seriously.
The attempted assassination has been
traced to the revolutionary forces, but no
arrests were reported by the American
Minister.
The fact that the dispatch is silent re-
garding the reported stoning of the Amer
lean and Mexican legations leads the
State Department to conclude that the
press dispatches on that point were in
error
Dr. Toledo, the Guatemalan Minister.
was caller at the State Department yes

Havana.s April 8o.-Early this morning
the police Of Santiago attacked a party
OF enlisted men from the cruiser Tacoma,
who were returning to the wharf upon
the expiration Of their shore leave TO
rejoin the cruiser
Three OF the Americans were seriously
injured, and one, whose skull was frac-
tured. will probably die.
Ensign A. 7. Brisbin, who was ashore
in civilian clothes, was also injured, but
not seriously. His participation in the
affair is not fully explained.
The only news of the night came here
to Commander Wood, OF the cruiser
Dixie. he being the senior officer in Cuban
waters. from the commander of the Ia
coma. which is regularly stationed at
Santiago. The police evidently used
guns. knives. and clubs. whila the sailors
were certainly unarmed, as they are not
permitted TO go ashore with weapons Of
any kind.
List of Injured.
The three men reported seriously in
jured are Henry Lee, second-class fire.
man, skull fractured and gunshOt wound
in left lung: Joseph Chandler Pember,
electrician, incised wound in left fore
arm, and Leslie Baldwin Dustin. seaman.
compound fracture of the left forearm.
Six other seamen were injured but their
wounds are said TO be not serious.
They are: Charles Shackelton. machin-
lists mate; Elmer S Anders. apprentice
seaman: Glen Cavender, seaman; Louis
L Ifr7a or3sFrefvr- oor1av.- TTrorEr aphrssr,
electrician, and Harry Sturdevant, cleo
trician.
Commander Tappan. of the Tacoma.
added in his dispatch that all was quiet.
and that an investigation was proceeding.
Commander Wood communicated the
news 20 Gov. Magoon, and also to Min
lister Morgan, and asked for the cooper
alton Of the provisional officials and the
American consul in the investigation.
Cause of Row Not known.
Since the intervention it has been the
American policy 10 keep warships sta
toned at various ports. The Tacoma has
been at Santiago for many weeks The
relations between the police and sailors
have been generally cordial. Until fur
ther details are received it is impossible
20 say what caused the row, but behind
it all is believed to be the hatred OF the
Cubans for the Americans, especially
those Of the military forces.
There have been frequent barroom
squabbles, but this affair goes quite be-
yond affrays Of that character Com
mander Tappan specifically says that his
men were attacked. If Ensign Brisbin
was attacked because of being an Ameri-
can il is certainly an ugly situation. He
may have become involved by trying to
intervene.
There has been a great deal Of evidence
Of covert anti-Americanism in Santiago,
where the negroes among themselves
dream of the establishment of another
Hayti.
