French state telephone engineers have
succeeded in connecting Paris and
Madrid, and the service will be soon
opened to the public. The establish
ment of oral communication over
such distance-900 miles-is only
one of number of reforms which ara
being instituted, the central battery
among them, at first condemned by
the postoff1ce telephone authorities
but now regarded as essential by
everybody. The switchboard at the
principal exchange is being remod-
eled on the American plan, until the
automatic exchange, now under trial
at Lyons, shall be adopted for the
whole system. The automatic ex-
change will do away with the "tele-

less courteous in France than in
America

his lieutenant Major Del Coral.
There was no false bravery in
Colonel Morelos," said Redo. He
permitted the bandits to blindfold
him and waited fer the volley. There
was some delay. The squad assign

there was some confusion, raised his
hand and removed the bandage.
There is no necessity tol max

Having so instructed the officer,
Colonel Morelos dropped the band

News was received in Dillon
Tuesday TO the effect that Thomas
Hayes, son of Mr.. Franklin H..
Hayes, of Gaddys Mill. was kill
by a switch engine in the railroad

Mr.. Hayes was farming near Cad

HAVANA, Oct. 2. The Maine
was destroyed by an external ex-
plosion.
There no longer remains any
doubt as to the manner in which the
united States battleship was sunk
I'm this harbor on the night of Feb
ruary Is, 1898.
The cofferdam about the wreck
mas been pumped out and the mud
cleared away to a greater extent
than ever before. The clearing
away of the wreckage reveals the
double bottom of the ship with part
or the keel standing in a perpen-
dlcular position some twenty-eigEt
feet higher than the natural posi-
ton.
This perfectly confirms the re-
port and testimony which Ensign
Powelson gave before investigating
board after the disaster and which
was based upon the reports made to
MIN by divers just after the explo-
sion.
The Sun correspondent saw the
bottom of the vessel this afternoon
as 1t stands supported by a perpen-
dlcular position by stanchions. The
lowest or platform deck is in
the position described; it is i'm an
upheaved mass above the submerged
bow.
The position of this part of the
bottom indicates that what is now
the highest point originally and
structurally occupied a position at
ABOUT frame is. This suggests that
there was an explosion of a mine
under that part of the ship, say
about midway between the stem

The explosion there broke the
snip into two parts, throwing one
section, including a coming tow
er, toward the stern, the coming
tower falling on the superstructure
on the starboard side. From this
position, in cutting away the wreck,
age, 1t has been allowed to settle
to the main deck slightly forward
or the after turret, which is on the
port side. Thus the tower is or
the opposite side to that on which
the explosion took place.

1t is a confirmed belief that sucf

Members OF the Maine board, in.

reticent in regard to the discovery
and will not confess that the revel-
alton is an important one, but any
one with eyes can see the upheaved
bottom and guess its meaning. II

the blowing up of the Maine by a

The accidental discovery of Bes-
sic kent's body Friday, almost two
weeks after she had been killed,
was followed by identification Sat.
urday and the arrest this morning
of Webster.
With the arrival OF Wife No. ]
at the Chicago avenue police station
the structure Of evasion and deceit
that Webster had been erecting for
months began to topple and twelve
hours after the doctors arrest the
police had stripped from him the
story of the murder.
Webster said that he was mar
ried first to Zoe Varney at Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. January 4. He said
he was greatly in love with his
bride and expected to return to
Cedar Rapids to practice medicine.
Il married Bessie Kent under
her promise that she would divorce
me Immediately after the wedding"
said Webster. She then refused TO
get divorce and that was the be-
ginning of all the trouble"

Webster related he met her on Sep

with her at a North Side rooming

started for Dixon.
Wife No. Turns Up.
Webster insisted that he believed
until he reached Dixon that he
was making the trip alone. Then,
his confession relates, he discovered
that Bessie Kent had made the
trip on the same train. He declar-
es that she refused to return to
Chicago and the two went to the
Dixon Inn that night.
L The next morning Webster hired
81 horse and buggy and, with Mrs
Webster No. ., drove north of Dix
en-.
On this drive the two quarrelled
and the physician alleges that his
wife struck him and then jumped
from the buggy crying that she
would see his parents and expose
his life with her
When my wife jumped from the
buggy" said Webster, Il threw a

from the buggy and gave chase.

wards reported to the police that
his wife was missing. During the
next ten days he made frequent in
quiries of the police and took up
the matter of his wife's disappear

out this period he remained unruf-

him until after the body had been
identified at Dixon.

ROBBER ENTERS RESIDENCE.
Mr.. +. Watkins Awakes Friday

Attempted Robbery.

Mr.. +. Watkins Awakes Friday
Morning and Finds Evidence OF
Attempted Robbery.
The residence of Mr.. Frank Wat
son was entered by burglar Thurs
day night. Evidently the man was
looking for something to eat as the
only thing missing next morning
was a plate of bread which had
been left of the dining room
table after the evening meal. 1t
was some time between midnight
and the early morning hour when
when Mr.. Watkins little son awoke
and told his father that some one
was in the house. Not dreaming
that a robber had entered his
house Mr.. Watkins passed the mat
ter over lightly, thinking probably
that 1t was a cat prowling around.
The next morning when the family
went to the dining room they
found one of the blinds open and
the sash raised. Investigation
showed that the robber had enter
ed by cutting away the Stats from
the blind until he had made an
opening large enough to reach til.
latch. Raising the window he en-
tered the dining room, using parts
OF the blind for a torch to light
mis- way thru the house. No articles
or value were missing, but there
were evidences of the midnight
prowler in the dining room. 1t l.
probable that the robber thought
the family was away, and being
hungry, entered the house for the
purpose of getting something to
eat. Another attempt at robbery
was made at the residence of Mr..
Fre1sland the following night, but
the person was frightened away
before he entered the house.

Wife Number Two.

Chicago, October 1. DR. Harry
Elgin Webster, a Rush Medical Col
lege graduate, student and interne
at the Polyclinc Hospital, in a re-
markable confession to the police
to-day, admitted that ne had muir
dered one of his two young wives,
Bessie Kent Webster, of Chicago,
in the woods ten miles from Dixon,
Ill, September 16. The police say
the motive for the crime was Web
ster's desire to hide from his first
wife, Zoe Varney Webster, of Ce-
dar Rapids, Iowa, the fact that he
was bigamist. He had married
the two women within one week last
