Weyler has sent his resignation to Madrid, to take effect as soon as the incoming Cabinet may see fit. The resignation was cabled to Spain as soon as Weyler‘ was informed of the fall of the Azcairaga Ministry. He he lieves that a Liberal Cabinet will be 1 summoned and that therefore his resig- nation would be requested in any event». It is common talk, even in official circles, that the war has proved e111: ceedingiy profitable to “the Butcher.’ He is said. to have netted, in “commis- sions” and Otherwtse, something like two mulling; do a'rs.

Has No Fear of Poverty. l ys that l They Registered as from West Point—Mother Carefully Planned ' Death While Her Children Slept— A Horrlfying Sight. New York, Oct. 2.-—A fearful trag- edy was discovered yesterday morn'lng -ln the West Shore Hotel. at Forty- second street and Eleventh avenue. A woman and her four chiuren were found dead in ’their rooms. They had beenkilled by illuminating gas. The woman had registered as “Karoline Rivlnius and children, West Point." The writing'seemed to be that of a German, and the appearance of the woman bore out that impression. There were two boys and two girls dead with the woman in the two small rooms which they had occupied. One boy was about 3 years old and the other about 8. One of the girls was about 5 years old, and the other about 15. The woman and the children had occupied two~ small connecting rooms on the third floor of the hotel. When' their bodies were found at 9 o’clock the l gas was escaping from the jets in each room. When Weyler’ s_. term as Captain- I There was one window in the wom- General Of the Philippines had expired' he had amassed, it is estimated, fully four million dollars in the. devious ways familiar to nearly all Spanish rulers of those islands. If he retires from Cuba with no mili- tary glory and the hatred of every I’L . , . GEN. WEYLER. friend Of humanity, it will not be to retirement into povdty. The general belief that Marshal Mar- tinez Campos will return to Cuba as Captain-General has caused a great stir among Weyler' s satellites, many of whom have grown rich by imitating their master's methods. It is likely that a large number of them will en- deavor to return to the peninsula with Weyler. . Sngasta Visits the Regent. Madrid, Oct. 2.—Senor Sagasta, the former Pfemier. who will probably form the new Cabinet, arrived here from the country yesterday morning, and other incoming trains brought Marshal Martinez Campos and Senor Pidal, President of the Chamber of Deputies. All of them lost little time in accepting invitations to tender their viewson. the situation to the Queen Regent. The official paper, the Correspon— dencia, has caused much surprise by de- claring that there is some possibility of Marshal Martinez Campos forming a compromise Cabinet, composed of men of all political parties. This idea is laughed at in Madr’d. The Cabinet would only be thus formed in caSe war with the United States was inevitable. The general feeling over the Min- isterial situation is that it will prob- ably take a week to reach a solution of the crisis. WILL TRACY WITHDRAW ? Importantil‘Co-n'ference Between the Candidate, Platt and Quigg. New York, Oct. 2.—-A two hours’ conference was held yesterday be- tween Gen. Tracy and Messrs. Platt and Quigg at the oflice of Tracy, Boardman & Platt.. Immediately after- ward Mr. Quigg returned to Repub- lican County-headquarters. He declined to say 5what had been the subject of the conference. It was‘ learned, however, that a statement alleged to have been made by Henry George had been brought to ”Mr. Platt. _This was that Mr. George ’did' not care to be the Mayor of Greater ,New York himself, but that he was anxious to see Seth Low elected. It is certain that yesterday’s confer- ence concerned the advisability of withdrawing Gen." Tracy’s name. REJECTSCTOM MOORE. Name of Ireland’s Great Poet Not on Congressional Library Walls. Washington Cot. 2.—The discovery has been made that the name of Tom Moore, Ireland’s famous poet, has been omitted from the long list of authors inscribed on the walls of the Con- gresslcnal Library. It is learned that the Irish poet’s name was considered by a committee, and rejected. This committee consisted of Ainsworth R. Spoffordr Dr. E M. Gallaudet, of the Deaf and Dumb Institute, and Superin- tendent. of Library Green. The affair has aroused deep feeling among Ireland' 3 friends. Division No. 3, A 0.

Oct. 2.—-—The Govern- ment National Bank, of this city, has gone into liquidatiOn after an existence or thirty-five years. Officials Of the . bank say that the liquidation is owing @ydiflecences among the stockholders. an’s room, which was tightly closed. The woman and the two girls occupied the _bed in this room. In the next a small window about one foot square opened to an airshaft. This was also shut. The transoms of the rooms weré also closed. The keys in the doors were turned so that the flanges of the keys filled the holes. The attendants at the hotel declared that the airshaft window and the tran- soms were always kept open. The cleats were removed from the transom in each of the rooms where the deaths occurred, so that they could be closed. The woman and the children ‘Went to the hotel about 8. 45 o 'clock in the even- ing. They were neatly dressed, but their clothing was not of fine textUre. After eating supper they retired DD their rooms. The woman had no bag- gage eXcep‘t a small hand satchel. Nothing unusual about the appear- ance of the woman was noticed by the hotel attendants. After they retired no sounds out of the ordinary were heard coming from their rooms. When a man who had a. room on the same floor went to bed about 1 o’clock he heard the baby faintly crying. but that was all. There was no comment when the family failed to appear at 9 o’clock. But at that time a bellboy who had been up all night passed along the third floor to his room. He noticed the odor of gas, and on tracing the smell thought that he detected it com- ing from the room which the boys occupied. S. G. Sprague, the clerk, was notified, and he beat upon the doors to arouse the woman. No answer Came in re- sponse to his most energetic pounding, so the door was forced in. Volumes of gas burst out and d'rove Sprague and his assistants back for a time.‘ But, covering their nostrils, they ran into the rooms. and threw up the windows ~in the front room. The doors were opened and the gas was let out. Word had been sent in the meantime to Roosevelt Hospital, and when the am~ bulance surgeon arrived ’he found it impossible to revive the five. The clothes that the children wore appeared to be new. The wash basins showed that the children had been carefully washed before going, to bed. When found the mother lay on the outside of the bed 111 the front room, and the youngest girl wes cuddled up close under her right arm. The child held a new tin horn in one of its hands. The eldest girl was on the inside. There were signs that the mother and the two girls had died in agony, but the boys had apparently passed away peacefully. A dispatch from West Point said that Mrs. Rivinius was 40 years old and the wife of Robert Rivinius, a soldier in the regular: army and attached to the printing 'IOffice. Her‘ hbme' life was a happy one, her friends 'said, and noth- ing happened to cause her to be melan- choly. She had been married sixteen years. The names and ages of the children were. William, 13 years; Augustus, 8; Laura, 15, and Elizabeth, 4% years. Father Hears the News. WestIPoint, Oct. 2,—Robert Ravinius, the husband of the murderess, is a janitor in the administration building at West Point. He has been employed there for six years. As far as the neighbors knew, the Ravinius family got along happily together and had no quarrels or misunderstandings to speak of. Mr. Ravinius was at work when the news of the tragedy reached him. He was almost prostrated with grief, and was unable to talk coherently. It is thought probable, however, that Mrs. Ravinius and her husband may have had a quarrel and that she left home, taking the children with her, with the evident intention of killing herself and them. The Ravinius fam- ily were in comfortable circumstances, and moved in fairly good society. Germany’s Hand on Greece. Athens, Oct. 2.—The Government has issued a White Book containing the de- tails of the negotiations of the powers for the conclusion of peace between Turkey and Greece. The book shows that Greece was informed on May 28 that the conditions of peace im— posed by the powers were onerous, but she must not decline them; if she did, Germany would withdraw from the concert of the powers engaged in the negotiations for the establishment of peace. The book also shows that on May 30 M. Hanotaux, the French Min- ister of Foreign Affairs. informed the Greek Minister at Paris that an in- ternal attack upon the Greek dynasty would threaten the existence of the country. ..
