WOMEN SEEK CUBAN
HERO IN THE M0RGUE
Son of Rich Planter, War Veteran at
"a, Believed to Have Slain
Himself

NEW YORK, May 29.-Two styf-
ishly dressed women, supposed to be
Cubans, visited the morgue last night
and injured if the body of Miguel de
La Paz "a years old, of 237 West Forty
third street, was there. Attendants
guided the women through the dismal
structure, but they could not find the
man for whom they were searching.
The women left without giving their
names, but, through their visit, the
story of what probably is an extremely
pathetic tragedy was revealed.
The young man sought by the women
is the son of one of the wealthiest
owners of sugar and coffee plantations
in the vicinity Of Havana. Some time
ago he came to this city and entered
Columbia university to finish his edu-
cation. He always had plenty of money
and he was generous with it. He went
to board with a Mrs. Nicely at the West
Forty-th street address. He told lit
tie about himself, but Cubans in this
city-men and women of good standing,
who visited him-told of his career.
Before the Spanish-American war,
Miguel joined his fellow countrymen in
the war against Spain. His body bore
eight wounds. He was shot in both
legs, and during one of the battles a
bullet lodged in his chest, not far above
the heart. This bullet was extracted,
but the young man suffered constantly
from the effects of the wound, as he did
from the five saber cuts, three of which
were on his chest.
Last week the young fellow fell i'll,
and he consulted a doctor. According
to his friends, he was told there was
little hope for him. His heart appar-
emily was giving way.
Miguel disappeared last Sunday. On
the escretoire in his room the landlady
| found two IS bills Mr. Paz always was
prompt in paying any debts, and this
debt fell due for board on the day il
was found.
1t was thought at first that the young
student had been hurriedly called away
| When he failed to reappear his friends
began a search, which involved inspec-
ton of hospitals, police cells and the
morgue. The police theory is that Paz
| Respondent, destroyed himself.
