He said Jarman recelved the painting of these buildings with- out competition and if there was any competition it was simply a farce. The painting of the City Hall and fire engine houses was also touched upon. He denounced J an for doing the work while a city official. Some of the painters who were employed by Jarman on the work with the under- standing that they would support him for Supervisor, Rea said, had voted the gang ticket. MORE TROOPS ORDERED TO TAKE THE FIELD | CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Orders have been received at division headquarters from General Bacon, in command of the De- | partment of the Lales and the Da- kotas, to have the Fourth Infantry at Fort Sheridan, and the Seventeenth In- fantry at Columbus Barracks, Ohio, held in readiness for immediate service at the scene of the Indian trouble in | Minnesota. The united strength of the two com- mands is about 1100.

Commissioner Jones’ letter will be read and efforts will be made to per- suade the men wanted to glve them- selves up. Beaulleu believes that a fa- vorable answer will be brought b‘ack by the peace party to-morrow morning. C%’\mmlgsloner Jones has established headquarters at the agency. It is hinted that his report to the Secretary of Interfor will contain caustic criti- cisms of certain Government officials. e ey | HUNDREDS OF BRAVES EAGER FOR BATTLE MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 11.—The Jour- | nal staff correspondent at Cass_Lake, Minn., wires: Indian runners from the south passed here in the night going north and from them information of a more serious na- ture than anything heard heretofore was obtained. The hostiles at Bear Island have already learned that Gen- eral Bacon intends to attack them with- in forty-eight hours and are busily pre- paring to resist. The Indians are well posted on everything that goes on at Walker and at the agency. They are strongly entrenched and have sent out insulting messages to the whites. Their runners are busily urging reinforce- ments from other branches of the tribe. There have passed down the waterways to Leech Lake in the past three days as many Indians as there have soldiers come in on the railroad. A village passed up Cass Lake this morning and seventy others are: now camped eight miles northwest from here. Women and children are going steadily northward. Twenty canoes of bucks, four in | each, went up the Mississippl River into Leech Lake last night. It is estimated by the woodsmen here that at least 500 reds, who will join the hostiles on the slightest encouragement, are now with- in striking distance of Leech Lake dam. Chief Chippewa, Pine Estimator See- | lic, came in from Brainerd last night. He brings the most alarming reports yet. He said: “Bacon will make another attempt in the next day or two. He is determined to get the Indians or their bodies. If he does neither the reds will make a break north for the Big Fork country. He cannot follow them and they will have time to do awful damage to the settlers, straggling villages and rail- road property as they flee. 1 consider the situation extremely critical both ‘here and along the road.

PINES NOT TOUCHED. | American Officials at Washington Confident That the Negotiations ‘Will Have a Satisfactory Outcome. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—The Peace Commissioners in Paris, so far from reaching a point of absolute variance | on the question of the Philippines, have <‘not yet taken up that subject for con- | sideration. | It is true that at the very first ses- | sion of the joint commission the Span- ish representatives sought to raise a question concerning the occupancy of Manila Bay and town by the United States military and naval forces. The United States Commissioners promptly refused to conslder this point in any aspect, and with some reluctance the Spaniards gave over for the time be- ing the effort to raise that issue. Since then the commission, whenever meeting jointly, has been engaged en- tirely with three questions to the com- plete exclusion of the Philippines. These questions relate entirely to Cuba, Porto Rico and Guam, and according to the very best reports from the Amer- icans to Washington they are still un- der consideration. The United States will not assume any financial indebtedness as the result of the cession or release of Cuba and Porto Rico. It was fully expected by the authorities here that the Spanish contingent on the Peace Commission would make a strong effort to have the assumption of the heavy financial obli- gations of these islands made the con- dition of the cession of Porto Rico and the abandonment of sovereignty over Cuba. But the American Commission- ers were fully and definitely instructed on these points, and the general tenor of these instructions was that such ob- ligations were not to be assumed by the United States. No dissatisfaction is felt here at the progress of the commission In the set- tlement of the questions assigned to it. It was fully understood that the issues presented would require the most deli- cate and cautious handling, and while the Amerjcan Commissioners were ex- pected to deal with these with the greatest firmness it was realized that the Spanish Commissioners, who would be obliged at least to make an effort to gecure an abatement of the American demands in order to satisfy public feel- ing at home. It can be stated that there has been no diminution in the confidence of the administration In the satisfactory out- come of the peace negotiations at Paris. When that city was selected for the meeting place by the Peace Commis- sfoners at the most earnest and re- peated prayer of M. Cambon, it was understood that the American Commis- sloners would be obliged to bear up against a strong pressure from the pro- Spanish element in the French press, but this had all been discussed before the Commissioners sailed from Amer- ica, and the President was satisfied that the men he had selected to repre- sent the United States were of sufficient individual strength to resist any out- side Influences. Farmer Gould a Victim of Indians. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.,, Oct. 11.—A. Bemid)i (Minn.) special to the Journal says: Joseph Gould, formerly an Indian trader and now a farmer, was mur- dered Saturday night near the Leech Lake dam. It is believed that the crime was the deed of hostile Indians ‘whose {1l will Gould had {ncurred in his rations. He claimed to be a cousin Jay Gould. X THE SITUATION AT PARIS much consideration must be shown for | STRANGE DEATH OF A CONVICTED MURDERESS 'Committed Suicide by Eating Spiders. | LEFT A FULL CONFESSION IMPLICATED HER AUNT IN HER CRIME. ‘KDeclared Her Mother, Under Life Sentence, Had No Part in Poi- soning Her Step- Zather. DES MOINES, Towa, Oct. 11.—Cora McCamly, alias Smith who murdered lhel‘ blind stepfather, Mike Smith, in this city in 1894, committed suicide yes- terday at Anamosa Penitentiary by eating splders. At the side of the cot in her cell was found a bag of dead spi- ders. The post mortem examination re- | vealed her stomach filled with the in- | sects. Her mother, Betsy Smith, was con- victed of the crime and given a life sen- tence. Cora then confessed she alone was guilty and was also sentenced [ life. Her mother was not released, al- though the case was appealed to the Supreme Court and a new trial wos granted. Her confession also implicates the sis- ter of Cora’s mother, Ellen Scoville, now in Colorado. The confession is directed to Attorney General Remley, in the care of Warden Hunter. It reads: ANAMOSA, Towa, Oct. 4, 188—Confes- sion by Cora McCamley,—Mr. Miiton Rem- Dear Sir: I wil. write you this few ! s 1 want everything clear.

CORA. oisoned my TIME LIMITS PLACED ON THE SPANIARDS WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—The Ameri- can Commissioners have notified the Spanish authorities in Havana that the United States will assume entire con- trol, military and governmental, of the island of Cuba December 1. The same control will be exercised in Porto Rico October 18. The Commissioners have notified the Spaniards that all port and customs receipts and the management of muni- cipal affairs will pass into the hands of the American military commander in the island. This order was not intend- ed to work hardship to the Spanish troops or Government, but it was thought best to fix a definite time to end Spanish rule and to begin opera- tions under the United States. It is probable that United States troops will 80 to Cuba before that time. By De- cember 1 it is expected to have troops so stationed that there will be no need of Spanish troops to preserve order. The proclamations that have been is- sued by the President, establishing customs rates and defining the manner in which Cuban territory shall be gov- erned, will prevail until it becomes ap- parent that new regulations are needed. On_ October 18 Major General Brooke will assume absolute control of the island of Porto Rico. It is possible that all the Spanish troops will not have left Porto Rico at that time; if s0, they will be quartered in barracks until they can be taken away. In the language of Secretary Alger, the Unit- ed States will be host and the Span- iards the guests after October 18. The United States will not ship the re- maining troops to Spain at its own ex- pense. That was no part of the pro- tocol. The custom houses, the money recelved for customs and the govern- ment of the island will pass completely from Spanish control on the date set. The present customs regulations under proclamation of the President will pre- vail. STARS AND STRIPES OVER MANZANILLO Formal Possession Taken of the Cu- ban City Yesterday by Colonel Ray. MANZANILLO, Department of San- tiago, Oct. 11.—The Spaniards who have been garrisoning Manzanillo left here at daybreak to-day on board the steam- er Porto Rico, bound for Clenfuegvs. Colonel Ray, the American command- er, paid a final visit tp the Soanish commander, Colonel Parron, at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon and wished the Spaniards bon voyage. The Ameri- can troops then marched to the public square, hoisted the Stars and Stripes and proceeded to the custom house, where a similar ceremony was perform- ed. Our soldiers then repaired to the postoffice and hoisted the American en- sign there. In the majority of instances the incumbents will hold office pending the arrival here of General Wood. MADRID, Oct. 11.—The Spanish Gov- ernment announces its intention to maintain a strong force of troops in Cuba until the treaty of peace with the United States is definitely signed. Im- mediately after the treaty is signed the Cortes will be convened and measures dealing with the reorganization of all the state departments will be submit- to Parliament. MUST PROVE HIS WORTH TO WED HER Nuptials of Charles A. Williams, South African Millionaire, Postponed. An Unenviable Record That the Dashing Mine Owner Will Find Difficult to Disprove. The wedding of Charles A. Williams, the South African mine owner, which was to have taken place this afternoon, has been postponed until such time as he can prove that his character is above reproach. From all parts of the world comes con- firmation of the bad record of Charles A. Williams, the alleged wealthy South African mine-owner, with whom one of the most popular and certainly one of the handsomest of San Francisco's belles was to have ..nked her fair name this after- noon. Thé astounding reveiations made in re- gard to- Williams startled, though they did not astonish, the select circles in which he and his fiancee moved. For more than a week the story in in- complete form has been upon the street, and all well known club and soclety men have been discussing it in its many and devious phases. The rumored story was at its best but patchy. The gossipy seed was sown, strewn broadcast and the crop reaped, and each stalk bore a vastly different though interesting story. Unlike the usual tale of the soldier of fortune, the social highwayman or daring adventurer, there was lacking in all the accepted versions that element of honor where woman is concerned. This man used woman to further his adventures. The story of the change of name was culled from the alleged authentic source of Wiiliams' own statement. An orphan of tender years, reared to healthy, sturdy boyhood by a maternal uncle, and the name of White, in loving recognition, was dofted for Willilams. There was a pa- thetic side to this adopted-name story, and it was, on account of its appealing popularity, immediately adopted and pro- mulgated. The most remarkable part of all the gossipy tit-bits, however, faded into insignificance beside the astonishing fact that no man told either wife, sister or sweetheart. Feminine society regaled itself with the unusual circumstances surrounding the engagementand proposed hasty marriage, the munificence of the bridal gifts of a more than devoted lover and the untold wealth that would be the fair young bride’s. Man discussed the mysterious, revolting stories, and lacking the neces- sary proof to back up all he heard, dis- creetly neld his tongue. The public exposure of Willlams’ dual existence comes as a relief to all. The sterner sex felt relieved of a weighty responsibiility, and to woman was ex- plained many things that she wanted to but could not understand. Williams’ social career was marked by rare tact and unusual good taste. His dress—the apparel that should pro- claim the man—was in the best of form. He wore his clothes like a man accus- tomed to the demands of fashion. He en- tertained like the worthy scion of a noble house. His wines were also just so. Tue flowers he sent were exquisite. Every- thing he did proclaimed the wealth tuat covers the vulgarities of mere money. His tastes were modest. The obstreper- ous, the boisterous, did not appeal to him. To a dainty young bud who laughed aloud In the corridors at Hotel Del Monte he gently sald: “Don’t laugh out loud. You are no longer a child, but a young woman. Never laugh out loud.” Mammas with marriageable daughters overwhelmed him with attention. He was asked everwhere. All the country homes were open to him, and there is no doubt that he might have had almost any girl for the asking. The only perceptibledrawback to a gen- tlemanly manner were awkward slips of the tongue. “Youse” and ‘“dem” slurred themselves easily upon his lips, while now and then his subjects and predicats rebelliously disagreed. However, these siips of the tongue only added to the romantic halo the girls built round the magnetic personality of the millionaire from South Africa. Grammat- fcal lapses but emphasized the fact that a strugsling man had forged his way by force of intellect and Industry to the front, and had come off triumphant with diamond mines galore and untold wealth to tell the tale. ‘Williams' personality was not a small factor in gaining for him immediate social recognition. There Is a magnetic some- thing about the man that appeals to woman, and a good square chin, clear, plercing blue eyes and dictatorfal manner make up an ensemble that the majority of fair ones admire. His generosity added to the good favor with which he was accepted. Even yes- terday, with the town all agog at the re- markable disclosures, attention still turned to the magnificent necklace of pearls, ‘with dlamond bars, gorgeous rings and bracelet of brilllants that form a minor part of his princely gifts to the fair flancee. The Pinkertons have been investigating Williams. A prominent Chicagoan now in this city sald last night: “I am perfectly familiar with the history of Willlams’ life in Chi- cago and Wyoming. The story published in The Call yesterday is true in every de- 1. "i‘c is a reproduction of the official rec- ords on file in the various police offices of those cities. The man is well known, as there is not the slightest doubt as to his identity. The Charles A. White charged with many crimes is the Charles A. Wil- lfams now In this city. The following additlonal information from Cheyenne regarding the life of Mr. ‘Williams in Wyoming was received in this city yests t o surprisq was caused here by the re- ported attempt of Charles A. White to form a matrimonial alliance In San Fran- cisco by questionable means. His expe- riences here were of such a character tnat when he left word was sent him that he would be lynched should he return. His vietim in this place was Mrs. Emma Nagle, widow of Erasmus Nagle, who died in 1890 leaving an estate of about half a wiilion dollars. His only surviving hefrs were his widow and a boy of thirteen. Mrs. Nagle was about 35 years of age at the time of her husband's death. She lived in a handsome stone house which had cost her husband $50,000. About eighteen months after Nagle's death Mrs. Nagle, while on a visit to Hot Springs, Ark., met Charlle White. He was good-looking, posed as a literary man, and claimed to have an income of $10,000 a year. Mrs. Nagle was captivated by him and an engagement followed. One of the features of this was that Mrs. Nagle bound herself to pay White $100,000 in the event of a marriage between them. Some time in the year 1891 Mrs. Nagle returned to Cheyenne and in a short time ‘White also appeared. Mrs. Nagle short- 1y afterward went to a prominent lawyer in Cheyen e, wio had been- Mr. Nagle's adviser, and requested him to draw up a marriage contract to be given to White, in which she bound herself to pay to him the $100,000. The lawyer remonstrated with her, but she brought the controver- sy to a conclusion by asserting that if the lawyer wouldn't draw up the contract she would go elsewhere and have It drawn up, and drawn it was. Mrs Nagle in it agreed to pay to White, “for the purpose of extending his business,” the sum of $100,000 in the event that the mar- riage took place. She at once signed the contract and de- livered it to White. The marriage took place shortly afterward. For a few months events moved along smoothly. The - estate of Mrs. Nagle or Mrs. ‘White’s first husband had not been as yet settled, and all she had was the al- lowance paid her by the court. Under the laws of the State of Wyoming, Mr. Nagle having died intestate, half his property went to the widow and half to his boy. Not long after the marriage, however, White began to take considera~ ble interest in the estate matter and commenced to urge its speedy settle- ment. He also commenced to take con- siderable interest in the boy’s matters, and flanlly made an attempt to have his guardian, one W. A. Robins, removed, and to have himself appointed. About this time, too, it was noticed) that Mrs. White did not appear very often in public, that most of her time was spent at home. White was about a great deal, and spent money freely. He expressed his intention of taking part in politics and of helping run the Demo- cratic party of the State. In the early spring of 1892 affairs reached a crisis. White had engaged at- torneys to press the settlement of the Nagle estate and also to attempt the removal of his stepson’'s guardian. In the latter he was not successful. In August, 1593, the estate was finally set- tled. White, in the meantime, secured from his wife a power of attorney and under it he drew what money he wanted from her bank deposit. Shortly after this he took a notary to his house, where his wife signed a note and mortgage to him for $75,000. The room was darkened in which the transaction took place, and Mrs. White afterward explained it was to hide the fact that White had black- ened her eyes before the notary came. « few days later Mrs. White was given $85,000 in bonds and securities by the ad- ministrators of the Nagle estate. Just how White secured possession of them has never been learned. He had them the next morning and that evening left for New York. This was the last ever seen of him In Wyoming. Shortly after White left his wife told her story to a lawyer. An investigation showed her husband had taken with him In mort- gages, bonds, notes and securities about one hundred and stxty thousand dollars. This was in September, 1862. Notice was at once given to stop negotiation of the securities and criminal suits were com- menced against White for embezalement and larceny. A requisition on the Gover- nor, of New York for White was issued. ‘White fought it in the courts and was defeated. He had been told that he would be lynched if he came back to Cheyenne, and rather than come he forfeited his bail, ten thousand dollars in cash, and fled to South America and later to South Africa. Mrs. White in her, suit for divorce, which was granted, proved that White had frequently knocked her down and had several times struck her In the face, and once had driven her from her home at night. The indictments against White remained in the hands of the authorities here until about a year ago, when the charges were dismissed, it having been represented that White had reformed. In the legal fight over granting a requisition for White in New York it was learned by the officers who went from here that White's true name was Willlams and that his mother was employed In & col- lar and cuff manufactory at Troy.
