After the hard. fighting before San- tiago was finished and the long wait in the hot, disease-breeding trenches ensued the Twenty-fourth suffered more severely than any other regi- ment from ‘“vellow jack’” and its kin- dred maladies, and though their men were dying off by the dozen they stuck 1t out without complaint. They won the favor of the department by their hero- ism, and when they were sent back home they were ordered into the Rockies to recuperate. Now they have been forwarded here to brace up un- der the life-giving salt breezes of the Golden Gate, and San Francisco will have an opportunity to see how it likes its first colored regiment.

A JURY SAYS "NELL SHEEHAN" WAS INSANE Mystery of Her Suicide Cleared Up. “BILLY” ISAACS’ WAS WIFE CORONER HILL HOLDS A WEAK- KNEED INQUEST. . | The Woman Was Married, Abused and Deserted Within a Month and a Half and Her Reason Failed. A Coroner’'s jury yesterday came to the conclusion that little Nellie Sheehan, who took carbolic acid Thursday night, committed suicide while “‘temporarily in- sane. The deduction was based upon the evidence of her brother, J. D. Sheehan, and W. C. Isaacs, known familiarly as “Billy” Isaacs, who in the course of his testimony admitted he had married the girl in Oakland on February 28. When asked upon what he based his assump- tion that his wife was insane, he coolly answered that it was because after-he had accomplissied her ruin she had in- sisted daily that he should make amends so far as he might by marrying her, and that he had finally done so. When he first met Nellie Sheehan he was living with a woman whom he had introfuced to all his acquaintances as his wife. Some three months ago she brought a baby to him and since that time he has cast her out to get a living as she might. He neglected her for the Sheehan woman, and remained with his new love until her repeated requests that he marry her an- gered him. A threat of exposure and sui- cide and numerous other like potent sug- gestions finally brought him to time. It is said that he ill-treated her from that time. The evidence her brother gave yesterday proved that even in her best moments she was melancholy and the cruel desertion of Isaacs worked upon her until she was brought up to the point where self-destruction seemed the only relief from. the life she was leading. Isaacs did not dwell upon his treatment of the woman in the testimony ave yesterday. are he He simply vouchsafed a 1 The detachment which arrived yes- :7}(1}}](';!;‘2 orque=f’.',l‘;§d“3 fir".\l w;;‘h f'ah*l(‘ terday was accompanied by head- ¢ | ‘e’ Coroner's investigation of the cass . = rival was put aboard the MeDowell quarters officers and the band.

General Conliffe was present at the bombardment of the suburbs of Apfa in the effort made to dislodge Mataafa’s fol- loyer: “T was simply an onlooker,” said Gen- eral Conliffe, “and took no part in the putting dows of the outbreak. When 1 eft Samoa, Mataafa's men appeared to be quleted, but the British and American soldiers were on the alert for the least sign of another uprising, which is re- garded as highly probable. I believe the War vessels Philadelp..a, Royalist, Por- poise and Taurango will be able to cope with the difficulty, for they are com- manded by splendid officers and manned fine marines. here is no doubt that the proclama. tion issued by the German Consul caused the natives to revolt, and I cannot un derstand why he took up the cause of Mataafa since the Berlin treaty express Tanu King of S8amoa, and in this he was backed up by the British authorities. — e———— Yesterday’s Insolvents.
