Constantinople, Turkey, Dec.,22.—It appears that when the United States steamer Bancroft arrived at Smyrna, during the night of Dec. 4, she was greeted with a. blank cannon shot and rifle bullets from the fort-of Yenikale. A boat from the warr ship, sen-I; shore- wards to ask for explanations, was fired upon and compelled to return. Thereupon the American Admiral lodged a protest with the United States Minister here, Dr. James B. Angel], who demanded the punishment of the guilty parties and an apology from the Turkish Government, which was given on Sunday last. In addition two Turk- ish officers were dismissed and sen- tenced to a week’s arrest. The entry of ships into Smyrna at night is prohibited, but on this occa- sion the lamps in the outer lighthouses were still burning, and the Bancroft stopped when the requisite signals were made. Not Regarded of Great Importance. Washington, Dec. 22.—The Navy De- partment has received news of the fir- ing on the Bancroft from the State De- partment, which had been, informed through Minister Angel], at Constanti- nople of the outcome of the incident. The matter was not regarded as of great importance. In fact, several in- stances have occurred within the mem- ory of naval officers stationed at the department of just such arbitrary ef- forts to enforce vexatious port regula- tions which are common to Oriental seaports. A similar rule is applied at Havana, where the guns of Morro Castle do not hesitate to fire at any vessel passing in or out of the harbor after nightfall. The Russians established a similar rule' (though more liberal in scope) at Vladi- vostock, the great Pacific fortress, af- ter the guards had awakened one foggy morning to find thatua large British squadron was lying under the guns of the forts, having entered unseen in the i- ‘ night. \ WOMAN’S TALE OF MURDER. “The Woman in Black” Makes :1 Con- fession in the liaiscr Case. Norristown, Pa., Dec. 22.—The hear- ing of James A. Cle-mmer and Eliza: beth K. De Kalb, the two alleged ac- complices of Charles 0. Kaiser, in the murder of his wife, Emma P. Kaiser, on Oct. 28, 1896, took place before Mag- istrate Lenhardt yesterday. Mrs.~ Kaiser was shot while riding with her husband on a. lonely road near here. The alleged motive for the crime was the desire to secure $10,000 insurance on her life. Kaiser has been sentenced to death for the murder. , District Attorney Strassburger re- fused to permit Clemmer to waive a hearing, and, after a. few minor wit- nesses had been examined, Miss De Kalb, the “woman in black,” went on the stand and told the story of her life and the plans of the conspiracy. Her story was of a startling nature and most damaging to Clemmer. The latter listened with great attention. to her words, but remained calm and cool un- der the trying ordeal. She told of a plan which Clemmer and Kaiser had agreed upon for get- .ting rs. Kaiser out of the way. This was to chloroform the woman and set fire to the bed. This plan, she said, was not carried out, because Kaiser losthis nerve. Miss De Kalb -told‘of several carriage rides she had with Mrs. Kaiser, the majority of which were planned by Clemmer. On all of these - unforeseen circumstances hap- pened which the commonwealth be- lieved delayed the murder of Mrs. Kai- ser. Her description of the drive which ‘ended in the murder was minute and was attentively listened to. For the testimony given it is believed the commonwealth will allow her to en- ter a plea of accessory after the fact. It was thought to be' impossible to con- vict Clemmer without Miss De Kalb’s evidence, hence the abandonment of the original intention to prosecute both as principals. CUBAN WAR STATISTICS. Statement from the Spaniards Con- cerulng Losses on Both Sides. Havana, Dec. 22.—It is announced from the palace that during the last ten days the insurgents haxe lost 303 men. killed and that, in addition, the Spanish troops have captured seven- teen prisoners and sixty-nine armed insurgents have surrendered. The troops, it is further announced, have captured ninety-six firearms during thistime. Among the killed, the oflicial Statement continues, are three insur- gent leaders and three officers of the insurgent forces. The Spanish troops during the same period, according to the official statis- tics, lost three officers and thirty-three and 213 soldiers killed. Bank Clerk Arrested. Newark, N. J., Dec. 22.—Julius A. Brose, discount clerk in the State Banking Company here, was arrested yesterday afternoon on the charge of having embezzled $7,200. He is a single man, 29 years of age. A short time ago the banking officials noticed a defi- ciency in the funds of the bank, and a firm of New York experts traced the thefts to Brose, and at the conclusion of the investigations reported that he was short $7, 200. Wants to Die in Evening.Dress. Springfield, 1111', Dec. 22. —James Mingle, recently convicted of having murdered the babe, Dollie Briscoe, and her mother, Mary Bri'scoe, wan-ts to die in evening dress. Sheriff Baxter, when told of this request, replied that the county was not in the habit ofdeco- rating its murderers, and was inclined to t e belief that he would be executed win the clothes he now' wears, unless he himself made arrangements for others.

House at Duryea, shot and killed his step- daugh- ter yesterday Griner had been in finan- cial trouble, and yesterday morning Attorney Eugene Ward went up from this city and closed his hotel on an exe- cution amounting to $2, 000. After this had been done Griner took a train for Scranton and bought a re- volver there. Coming back to the hotel he began abusing his wife and daugh- ter. A family quarrel followed, which attracted the attention of the neigh- bors. Then came three shots, and the neigh- bors rushed in to find Caroline Shifter, the step-daughter, lying on the floor, her mother bending over her and Gri- ner standing near with a- revolver in his hand. Three shots had taken effect. in the body of the young woman. Griner did not try to escape, but sub- mitted to arrest, and Was at once taken to Pittston for a hearing beforefiquire Loftus. Later he was brought to the County Jail in this city. He would not talk to the policeman. Griner has been a well-known figure in Luzerne County politics for years. He ran against and defeated Daniel L.“ Hart, the playwright, in the legislative election in Wilkesbarre in 1894. " SIXTY-Two CARS WRECKED. ,000 Damage Done and Three Lives Lost. Altoona, Pa, Dec. 22.—As a. result of Monday night’s freight wreck, which was caused by a runaway train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, three men lost their lives and damage to the extent of $75,000 was done to locomotives and freight and passenger cars of the Penn- sylvania company. The dead are: S. Kuster, Hagerstown, Ind.; Charles J. Numer brakeman; S. C. Corbin, brake- man. Kus-ter died a few minutes afte1 mid- night, after being removed to the hos- The bodies of_Numer and Cor- bin were not recovered fro-m the wreck— age until yesterday morning. Numer could be heard talking for four hours after the wreck occurred, but could not be reached until after the mass of de- bris had crushed him to death. The body of Corbin was found in a pile of debris, thirty feet in the air. He lay under the roof of a car and was proba- bly instantly killed. One locomotive was completely and two others were partially destroyed. Four passenger coaches and fifty-eight loaded freight cars were completely wrecked. Besides this lass the damage to the me-rchandise'with which the cars were loaded is heavy. MAUD GONNE INSULTED’.’ Story that Vice-President Hobart Was Rude to Her. Washington, Dec. 22.—A story is going the rounds here which is calcu- lated to .do Vice-President Hobart harm. It is in connection with the'visit paid to the Vice—President by Miss Maud Gonne, the Irish lecturer. The call on the Vice~Presidcnt was not a lengthy one, and certain members of the committee have since said that Miss Gonne was br‘u squely treated by Mr. Hobart. They say his manne1 was bluff to the extent of rudeness. It is said that he bluflly demanded what she was doing in this'country, whether She cameta-for love, fame or fortune, were single or married, and wound up the conversation by telling Miss Gonne .to take a lot of her counrymen back to Ireland with her. Vice—President Hobart says: “There must surely be some mistake. I was charmed with the young lady. Of course, the conversation was not a serious one. I do not remember every- thing that was said. I believe I did joke about such a. charming young lady being single. But I can‘remember nothing that might be construed as of- fensive." Big Firc in Kansas City. Kansas City, Dec. 22.—The Auditori- um, the largest and finest playhouse west of Chicago, and the Auditorium Hotel, one of the most fashionable fam- ily hotels in the city, situated at Holmes and Ninth streets, were gutted by fire- that started in the theatre shortly after 1 o’clock yesterday morn- ing. The 106 guests, many of them children, escaped in safety. The loss on the property, which is owned by Alex— ander Frazer, a local business man, will aggregate $450,000. The insurance is $85,000. The Auditorium was built in 1886 by Col. George W. VVarder at a cost. of $350,000. It was named the War- der Grand Opera, House ’ and was opened by Booth and Barrett. ,, Revolt Against Civil-Service. Boise, Idaho, Dec.22.—Surveyor-Gena eral Joseph Perault is in revolt against the Civil Service law and the Interior Department. He has received notice that Frank C. Whitthorne has been transferred‘by' the Interior Department from the Surveyor-General's office in the State of Washington to the office here under the civil-service rules.

Washington, .Dec. 22. —Miss Leila Herbert, daughter of ex-Secretary of the Navy Herbert, committed suicide yesterday morning. She jumped from the third—story window of her father’s residence, "1313 New Hampshire avenue, and received fatal. injuries. Miss Her- bert has been ill for some time past with nervous trouble.

This so weighed upon her that she had attacks of melancholia, and it is believed that she was suffering from one of these at- tacks yesterday. Two Attempts. Miss Herbert-made two attempts at her life. First she tried to bleed her- self to-delath by cutting the arteries in her wrist, but evidently this did not bring the relief s'he sought quickly enough, so about 10 O’clock she rushed to'the window and threw herself out. She was terribly injured by striking the stone pavement, her head and face being crushed. She was picked up «and carried into the house, death resulting soon afterward. This makes the third suicide in the families of the members of Cleve- land's Cabinet, all of them young la- The first was Miss Bayard. daughter of the Secretary of State. The second was Miss Garland, daughter of Attorney—General Garland. She killed herself by shooting in her father’s home on Rhode Island avenue. All the suicides took their lives after their fathers had retired from public life. “(as a General Favorite. ‘Miss Leila Herbert was the eldest of ex- Secretary Herbert’s three children and was a charming figure in Wash- ington \society. She came with her father to-‘W’ashington when he was elected to Congress, and at once took charge of his household affaiis, mak- ing the Hei bert home one of the most attractive- and comfortable in ‘Was - ington from the spirit of true Southe1n hospitality which- gave it an atmos- phere of its oWn- among fashionable homes. a When_h-e1"’father became Secretary of. the Navy, in ”President Cleveland's sec; ond administration, Miss Herbert was called upon to take her place in the circle of Cabinet ladies, where she met successfully the heavy social resp 1115i: 'bilities placed upon her youthful shoul- ders. Socially she was exceedingly pop- ular and her presence was sought at all gatherings. Her social triumphs here were repeated in Europe, where, 'she went to attend the great naval demonstration at Kiel. Hoyv the Suicide Occurred. Washington, Dec. 22.—The following authorized statement has been made by a gentleman familiar with all of the facts of Miss Herbert's suicide: Miss Herbert, at the time of the oc- currence, Was suffering from acute melancholia. It developed several weeks ago. as the final result of inju-. ries received by being thrown from her The melancholia was not insanity in the sense of being accompanied by delusions. At, the same time there was profound depression, and as is always the case in this type of disease, there was great danger that suicidal tendencies would develop. For thIs reason nuises were provided to maintain the closest watchfulness. No suicidal tendency developed, however, until Monday, when, for the first time, Miss I-lcrbért,made an attempt to get out of the window, but was restrained by the nurse. This led to additional caution. and two nurses alternated in constant watchfulness‘of the patient. She was at all times rational, quiet and gentle, and it was supposed the disease would yield to treatment. Early yesterday morning the nurse on dutynoticed a small spOt of blood on the bed covering. She inqui1 ed what it meant but the invalid endeavmed to pass it by lightly. On making an inves- tigation, how eve1, the nurse found that the under bedclothes were satuiatcd with blood, and. that Miss Herbert had severed the artery of her wrist With a pair of scissors. Feeling that the emeI — gency was ',great the nurse hastened to the door and called an alarm. In this momentary withdrawal from the bed- .side Miss Herbert sprang from the The plunge was made head—- Window. foremost, so that she lighted on the top of her. head onuthe asphalt pave— ment.

Washington, Dec. 22. 4- secretary Gage’s financialplan, which ,has been submitted to the House Committee on Banking and.Currency, is not expected . to receive the sanction of that commit- t'ee.’ It is evident that the opposition to the measure proposed by the Secretary is very strong among Republicans, who still cling to the hope of an interna- tional agreement for the blmetallism theory. The letter of Senator Chandler, published the other day, meets with the approval of many Senators, among them, it Hanna. ' There is some doubt as to the Presl— dent’s position in relation to the finan- cial plans of Secretary Gage. -«..Before- sending in his message to Congress. it was common gossip in Washington that the President did not. altogether indorse the financial views of the Sec- retary of the Treasury. It is known that when the details of the measure were first made public they were not to the liking of many of the prominent members of the Republican party in the House and Senate. Besides Hanna, it is said that Speaker Reed did not fall in with the plans for financial legisla- tion, and expressed his disapproval of the measure. These reports of dissatis- faction on the President’s part were, perhaps, exaggerated somewhat, but it is a. noticeable fact that in his message, beyond merely suggesting to Congress the consideration of the plans of Sec- retary-Gage and indorsing his plan for the paying out of greenbacks only in return for the actual gold, he did not refer to the measure proposed by the Secretary of the Treasury. ~ There is, since the letter from Senator Chandler was made public, but little prospect that the bill drawn by the Secretary will be reported to the House. While” most Republicans deem it un- wise to press financial legislation of too radical a nature at this time. it is likely a substitute for Gage’s plan will be drawn, and will contain the principal features recommended by the Presi- dent. , MERCHANTS EXPECT A WAR- In San Francisco They Are Making Hay Selling Supplies to Russia. San Francisco, Dec. 22.—In mercantile circles of San Francisco the intelligence that a Russian fleet has occupied Port Arthur, following so closely on the nest that Russia had obtained a firm grip on Corea, leads to the belief that active hostilities between the Mikado and the Czar cannot long be deferred. It is regarded as significant that agents Of the Russian Empire recently have made extensive purchases of army supplies in the United States for the garrison at Vladivostock. A few days ago cable messages from Vladivostock, by way of St. Petersburg, were re- ceived here, inviting several firms to bid on an immense quantity of provisions. The merchants here expect a great de- mand for supplies to maintain the fleets and armies now assembling in the Orient. Matthews \Vhips Leonard. , Rochester, N. Y., Dec. 22.—Matty Matthew’s, of New York City, re- ceived the decision over Mike Leonard. also of New York City, at the end of their twenty-round bout before the Rienzi A. C. last .night. Matthews earned the decision fairly, as Leonard found it almOSt impossible to land with effect in any round. Leonard was weak at several stage-s of the contest, but he put up the gamest kind of a fight. Mrs. Nuck’s Case. New York, Dec. 22.—Mrs. Nack, who helped Martin Thorn murder William Guldensuppe at Woodside, will be ar- Iaigned before Justice Gameth in the Supreme Court at Long Island City, the week of Jan. 3. District Attorney Youngs is still of the opinion that he ought to save Queens County the ex- pense of a trial, and the woman will probably escape with a comparatively short term of imprisonment. .__‘~ Will 57.1511 the Sealing Bill.

It is supposed that Great Britain intends to"'oppose the division of China without consult- ing her. , It is" reported there that Russia has offered China a. loan to pay off the in— demnity of the war with Japan, and it is believed, the dispatch says, that Japan and England are acting in con— cert to preserve China from disintegra- tion, favoring the idea of a protecto- rate over Central China, with 'a capital at Nanking. It is rumored also, the dispatch al- leges, that a large Russian military force is coming overland from Siberia.

Indians Threaten to Burn the United ‘ States Court. Wichita, Kan., Dec. 22.—Information has been, received at the oflice of the United States Marshal at South Mc- Alester, I. T., to the effect that the law- less element among the Indians has formed a conspiracy to burn up the United States Court House there and all other United States Court buildings in the Indian Territory. The Indians are growing more restive as the first of' January approaches, as upon that day all of their tribal courts are abolished, and the Federal courts have jurisdiction over all the litigation affecting Indians. Under the Indian law one Indian can- not sue another for debt of any nature There are vast numbers of notes held by shrewd India‘ns- against their less .provident brethren, now collectable, which can be sued on and collected as soon as the Indians come in under the Federal law. It will ruin many thou- sands of Indians who have heretofore been considered wealthy. _,__,___._______ _ Millionaire’s ‘ Son Suicides. Denver, COL, Dec. 22.—Henry E.
