PRIEST KlilDBY GAS
Man Supposed to be FatherStack
Found Dead in a Hotel.
SUSPENDED BY GORBIGAN‘
Had Lost .His Pustorate in New York
City Because of Mental ’Fuilings—
There Was Not 11 Cent in His
Pocket. I
New York, Nov. 2.—The man found
dead in his, room in the Central Hotel,
201. East 116th street, yesterday, and
in whose pockets many .letters ad-
dressed to W. Thomas Stack were
found by the police,- is now said to be
the Rev. Father John Holden,_formerly
assistant priest in St. Monica’s Roman
Catholic Church, in First avenue.
Stack, or Father Holden, was asphyx-
lated by gas, which it is supposed he
, turned on with suicidal intent shortly
'5 after he went to his room at 11 o’clock
Sunday night.
Registered as J. J. O’Brien.
There is, however, much mystery
connected‘with the case, and the au-
. :thorities are working hard to unravel
it. .
The man went to the Central Hotel
Sunday night and registered as J. J.
| O’Brien, asking the clerk at the time to
- call him at 10 o’clock the next morn-
ing.
I At that hour a. bell boy knocked at
the room door, but receiving no an-
swer, grew frightened and summoned
a policeman. The policeman burst in
f the door and found Stack lying dead,
‘ stockings.
,brushed and made a startling back-
I
J
clothed in the garb of a priest of the
Catholic Church.
Was Fully Dressed.
The man was fully dressed 'in a black
diagonal coat, waistcoat and trousers.
He wore heavy laced shoes, but no
His black hair was neatly
ground for the pale face, pinched and
worn, as if. from continued care. .
Besides the letters addressed to W.
Thomas Stack, which bore no street ad-
dress, there was only an old briar pipe,
a. pouch half full of tobacco and a pair
of gold—plated spectacles. No money
was found.
The police are conVinced that the
body is that of the Rev. Father Hol-
den, because they virtually recognize it
as that of a man who, under that
name, was arrested a. few months ago
for disorderly conduct.
He was arraigned in the Harlem
Court before Magistrate Pool at the
time, and was discharged because it
was proved that he had innocently
,brought upon himself the jeers of a
street crowd. _
Suspended by His Superior.
They say that Father Holden was
“silenced” by Archbishop Corrigan
about three years ago, because of the
development of mental peculiarities.
He imagined at times that he was the
heir to great fortunes, and had illu-
sions to the effect that he was about to
receive swift promotion in the church.
Father Holden is described as having
been a. man of great eloquence and
splendid learning until his mind weak-
ened under the strain of his church
duties. For the past three years, the
police say, he has been wandering
about the city, sometimes without any
home except in the cheap hotels in
Harlem.
They also say that he used the name
of Stack in"many instances when he
desired to hide the fact that he was a
deposed Cathblic priest. .
RESULT OF THE SEAL CONFERENCE
England to Be Urged to Agree to.
Suspend Pelagic Sealing.
Washington, Nov. 2.—The American,
Russian and Japanese members of the
Behring Sea Conference have agreed to
recommend to their respective govern-
ments that what is known in diplomacy
as an identical note, signed by the
three nations concerned, be addressed
to the British Government, urging its
adhesion to an agreement to suspend
pelagic sealing for a. period of time to
be arranged between all the interested
parties. Until an answer from Great
Britain is received little can be done
by the conferrees of the United States,
Russia and Japan. The correspondence
in the matter will be conducted by
cable, and it is believed that the posi-
tion of Great Britain will be learned
very soon. It is likely that the ac-
quiescence of Great'Britain-will result
in the negotiations of a formal treaty
requiring the approval of the Senate.
As the sealing season will not begin
until Spring, there will be ample time
for the‘ conclusion of the negotiations
and the ratification of a. treaty.
The work of the conferrees was prac-
tically concluded yesterday at the
meeting held in the State Department.
Suit Over'x-Ruys.
Chicago, Nov. 2.—Ja.mes Carey, who
was injured as the result of the use of
the X-rays. is to bring suit for $25,000
against the physician who had charge
of the experiment in the hospital.
Carey was shot in the head in Septem-
ber, 1896. He was taken to the County
Hospital, and after an operation had
been performed to locate the bullet
without success. it was decided to
make use of the X-rays to find it.
Seventeen exposures to the rays were
made. As a. result Carey'is minus his
left ear, the sight of his right eye is
gone and the right side of his head has
become bald. He contends the powerful
X-ray caused all these disorders.
Contessed to a Priest.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Nov. 2.—A year
ago Sidney W. Raymond, a. picture
dealer 'in this city, had his watch
stolen. He had almost forgotten his
loss when he was reminded of it Sun-
day by Rev. B. F. McKenna, of St.
Peter’s Church. who entered his store
and astonished him by returning the
watch. ‘ '
The priest explained that the Watch
had been recovered through the con-
fession ofJa person whose name he did
not know. and which, if he did know,
the sacrednees of the confessional
would prevent him from revealing.

think that they are just what the man-

ULBABLY SHOWS BAD FAITH
Gomez Says His Answer to Autono-
my Will Be Given With His Rifles.
The Ghosts of Earlier Spanish Re-
forms That Died Young.
Havana, Nov. 2g—Gen. Blanco has
been instructed to report by cable to
the' Minister of Colonies, as soon as
possible after his landing in Cuba,what
hopes May be entertained of a speedy
ending of the war by granting autono-
my to Cuba. In spite of the repeated
promises of the Government, through
the newspapers as well as by direct
cable dispatches to Senor Galvez, pres-
ident of thesix or seven Autonomis
who live in Havana, the Spanish” Gov-
ernment, as usual, offers more than it
is disposed to give, and even“ if itgives
anything, it will not be immediately,
as might be thought from all this au-
tonomy boom. 3
A matter of prior concern and im-
portance in Spain just now is a general
election to secure for Senor Sagasta a
majority in the Cortes After the elec-
tion is OVer the Minister of the Colonies
will require some time for framing his
bill, and. after its presentation it must
be discussed by the Congress and Sen-
ado and approved by both houses. Then
the Queen also must take her time to
read the bill, and consider the pre-
amble or introduction to it by the Min-
ister of the Colonies before signing the
several bulky documents. In a Word,
the whole question of autonomy will
be a. matter of several months, or per-
haps a. year, and then the resource still
remains of pigeon-holing the entire
business with the signature of her wor-
thy Majesty.
It is to be remembered that the much-
talked-of reforms of Minister Maura.
had the same fate in'1894; that those of
Minister Abarzuza in 1895, approved by
the Cortes and signed by the Queen,
were never carried into effect, and that--
the autonomy of Canovas was never
more than a topic for the Prime Min-
ister to expatiate upOn. Thoughtful
persons in Cuba, therefore, do not at-
tribute much importance to the an-
nouncements of autonomy. They say
that since Spain conquered Cuba. in 1492
she has been promising reforms and
iustice, and promulgating fair laws for

Address '
the good government of the colony,
while, in fact, the same system of ra- '
pine, murder and plunder has been in
force all the time.
It is believed in Cuba by those who
know the ingrained habits of Spain,
that all the present autonomy talk is
merely a. dastardly trick to gain time,
a favorite resource of Spanish states-
men, and to delay in that way what-
ever steps may be taken in the United
States, either by the Administration or
by Congress, in favor of the struggling
patriots.
Even in its promises the Spanish
Government clearly shows its bad
faith. The autonomy that is to be
granted, according to the Minister of
the Colonies, Senor Moret y Prender—
gast, is that comprised in the pro-
gramme of the Cuban Autonomists set
forth in 1880. Cuba will pay the whole
debt, which amounts at present to
nearly $600,000,000, and Spain will
pocket all the important revenues, the
Custom House duties and the direct
taxes, for the Government. Further-
more, the Captain-General is to have
the right of veto over all the legislation
of the local assembly.
I have ascertained the opinion of the
most conspicuous representatives of the
Cuban people, in the field and in the
cities, and find that they neither be-
lieve in, nor will they accept the au—
tonomy offeredby Spain. The Autono-
the Marquis of Montoro, and
Senors Galves, Cueto and-Saladrigas,
and their small following, never sided
with the revolution. *They were against
it from the first moment, even without
any concession from Spain and under
the old regime. Gen. Gomez writes the
following words from Santi—Spiritus,
and authorizes their publication in the
New York Sun: »
“I need not add what my opinion i
concerning autonomy, after the man
declarations I have already made. My
attitude in the field is my best pro-
gramme. I have received a new expe-
dition from the United States, and soon
the'Spanish will hear from our rifles
the manly protest of the patriots
against all their mendacity.”

London, Nev. 2.—The Chronicle says
it has reliable authority for announc-
ing that Spain, preparing for eventu-
alities witty the United States, signed
contracts last week for the option of
purchasing certain completed, or near-
ly completed, cruisers in British ship-
yards. , 3
The financial Question having been
raised during the negotiation, the of-
ficial representing- the Spanish Gov-
ernment spoke confidently of Spain’s
ability to raise a large internal war
loan.
He added that in the event of an
outbreak the Government would ap-
peal to popular enthusiasm, which
would not fail.
