Dalles, Tex, April 13.—Abcut 2 o'clock this morning the body ofa strange man was found floating io the Trinity River, north of the Commerce street bridge. His throat was cut from ear to ear and;his con dition indicated that he had been dead a few hours only. Hundreds viewed the body at the mergue, but no one could identify it uatil this evening. A small round card with the name S. E. Carson was found in his pocket. Late this evening the body was identified by members of the Typographical Union as that of S. E. Carson, a printer, who two weeks ago left the Printers’ Home at Colorado Springe, Colo. His boarding house in the city was traced up and the identification was verified by the people who live there. They state that Carson had been in Dallas two weeks and dieappeared from his bording-heuss yesterday forenoon. Opinion is divided be- tween the theories of murder and suicide.

Cuban women have run the gamut of misery and suffering for their be- loyed island. But here is the story of a Cuban woman who sacrificed her friends, her relatives and her country for her Spanish lover. It is not a pleasant story—this of Nina Diaz, the beautiful, fascinating upecrupulous spy Weyler’s regime. Well for the fair name of the Cuban women that there are no other stories like it. Through her infetuation for a Spanish officer she became the tool of “the butch er,” and the moral responsibility of many of the atrocities committed by the mors'‘er general may be laid at the deor of this traitress to ber country. Nina Diaz is the daugbter of Felix plantation near Santiego, Cuba. Diaz earned a comfortable income from his ranch, but when the struggle for independence began he left his plan- tatiov, and with his two sons joined the army of General Capote. Nioa and her niother left their home at the same time and went te Havana to live. Nina was a typical Cuban beauty, dazzling, voluptuous and enticing. When a daughter of the tropics love it is with her whole heart and soul. Nina fell in love with a member of infantry, who had just beea assign- ed to the Spanish eecret cerviee in Havana.
