Pl B O NE of the most in the history shocking crimes of Contra Costa County occurred at Sheep Island, about cne and a half miles from Stege station, Tuesday afternoon. A short me ago a n n by the name of Peter Baago, wife and ten-year- old child located on the island, Baago en- gaging In the dairy business. Last Saturday it appears the husband and wite quarreled and agreed to sepa- rate. They came to San Francisco, DECAPITATED HER DAUGHTER WITH ONE STROKE OF A KEEN KNIFE bringing their daughter with them. Baago deeded all his property over to his wife and the couple separated. Baago secured employment as a cabinet-maker in San Francisco and his wife returned to Sheep Island with the little girl. Tuesday Hans Hansen, an aged dairyman resid- ing on the island, ate dinner with them. Mrs. Baago expressed herself to him as satisfied with the condition of affairs, but Hansen thought she seemed down- hearted. In order to divert her mind from her troubles Hansen suggested a boat ride or a walk about the island, and Mrs. Baago consented to take a walk and promised to meet him at the quarry, some distance from the house. At about 3 o'clock, Mrs. Baago having falled to appear, Hansen feeling worried, went to the house to ascertain the cause of her non-appearance. As he entered the house he called for Mrs. Baago, and get- ting no response, he opened the door of her bedroom. The sight that met his gaze paralyzed him for the moment. There upon the floor of the small bed- room lay the body of the little child liter- ally bathed in its own blood. The feet of the body were almost against the door, while the head was lying in the corner close by with the bloody knife under it. From all indications the mother had called the child into the room and with- out warning grabbed her by the hair and with one strong stroke drew the knife across the little girl's throat, com- pletely decapitating her. After throwing the knife away she threw the head upon the floor, and, leaving the house, ended her« own life by jumping into the bay. That the woman was insane is a cer- tainty, as she was often heard saying that she was tired of the kind of life she was living and would make away with the child and then drown herself, and the latter Is the theory held by the officers as to her whereabouts. Word was sent 10 Coroner Curry at Martinez about 2 o’clock in the afternoon and he, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Johnson, hastened to the scene of the murder. The Coroner and deputy sheriff searched the island thoroughly and no trace of the missing woman could be found. Bhe left the following note, writ- ten in Danish: - “Goodby, Hansen. I cannot stand It any longer. My husband has been bother- ing me for the last ten years. Hansen and Anderson can sell the cows and di- Vide 1t, and the house can you sell. and divide in three parts—my sister Jine one art, my brother Pete one part and my usband's sister Sine her part. My best regards. ARIA BAAGO, “‘Now can papa enjoy himself? I take v girl with me. "}n5 remains of the child were taken to San Pablo, where they were viewed by the Coroner’s jury, after which they were taken to Martinez on a late train. The inquest will be held noon, in San Pablo. interviewed and safd “It {5 one of the saddest cases it has been my duty to handle for the past ten years, during which time I have been to-morrow after- Coroner Curry was Coroner of Contra Costa County. I was summoned to-day to come to Sheep Isl- and with all possible haste and accord- ingly went to SBan Pablo and there secur- ed a rowboat and went to the island, ac- companied by Deputy Sheriff Fred John- son. ‘“We were met by the farmhand, Han- sen, who conducted us to the house. There, In & room, upon the floor, lay the body of a 10-year-old girl, with her head severed completely from the trunk. I found a letter left by Mrs. Baago, written in Danish. We made a thorough search of the island for the missing woman, but were unable to find any trace whatever of her. It is my opinion that she has committed suicide by drowning herseif. The island is a dreary place and is occupied by no one except the Baago family, Hansen and a fisherman. It is my impression the woman brooded over the trouble with her husband and became temporarily insane. I brought the remains of the little girl to San Pablo, where they were viewed by a jury. I will hold an inquest next Friday afternoon.” Deputy Sheriff Fred Johnson was seen night, and he has the following to say: “T was summoned to Sheep Island to-day from Martinez, and witnessed one of the saddest cases I have ever seen in my life. Coroner Curry and I rowed to the island and upon learning full particulars of the case from the man Hansen I set about making a thorough search of the entire fsland. I visited every nook and corner | and could find no trace of the missing womarn. 1 am morally certain she has committed suicide by drowning.” ADJUSTING UNID PACIFIC CLAIMS A e Ten Million Dollars Dis- allowed.

Abbott, special master in the Union Pa- cific Raflway receivership, has just filed 1 the United States court a voluminous | report on the clalms filed against the Union Pacific estate under the order of the court for the District of Nebraska, filed February 16, 1888. This report, which has been confirmed by Judge Sanborn, Is the last step in the settlement of the Union Pacific recetvership. The largest claims allowed are those of the Union Pacific Rallway Company, the balance due the company being found by Mr. Abbott to aggregate $44,500,00. The balance due the United States Govern- ment of $7,3%,2 allowed. A judgment obtained April 1898, in the United tes Dist ourt for the District of achusetts Henry Budge, Charles Peabody Jr. and Henry Decoppel for 69 and sold to Lawrence Greer is lowed at its discounted value.

She meets her husband wi eyes red and swollen and he cries ou “What has happened ?” *Nothing” his wife replies. “T don’t know what is the matter with me, but I just had to have a good cry.” Men don't have crying spells. Tt would seem therefore that an affection confined to women must have its cause in the womanly nature. There is no doubt #hat a diseased condition of the delicate womanly organs, is in gen- eral responsible for feminine nervous- ness and hysteria. The use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription makes women happy by mak- ing them healthy. There aré no more crying spells. “Favorite Prescription” cures inflammation, ulceration and fe- male weakness. It makes weak women strong, sick women well.

The report of the committes on tem- perance was presented by Rev. J. R. Knodell, who declared that the work al- ready done had but aroused the enemy, and he urged the necessity of continuing the struggle with renewed energy, With this end In view, he presented the follow- ing resolution prepared by the commit- tee, which he asked the association to adopt: That the preachers in all the churches make this & speclal theme for work; that the editor of The Pacific continue to take his present high stand upon this question; that we recognize in the W.

C. R. Brown of Oakland opposed the proposition to organize leagues in the | churches as proposed by the resolutions. He declared that the Anti-Saloon League | was a political body, and as such had no place in the church. Dr. Knodell made an | address touching upon the work of the | Anti-Saloon League and then a motion | to refer the report of the committee on temperance was lost, the matter being made a special order for 9 o'clock this morning. The narrative of the churches, prepared by Rev. B. S. Willlams, was read by Rev. George B. Hatch of Berkeley.

At e S GUARDING AMERICAN INTERESTS IN SAMOA WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Until further | informed of the attitude of Great Britain on the German proposition to partition | the Samoan Islands amorig the three | powers signatory to the Berlin treaty, | 1t is probable that Secretary Hay will not | make a categorical reply. Final action | certainly will not be taken by this Gov- ernment until the President and Secre- | tary of State understands the views of | influential Senators with reference to the proposed disposition of the islands. In the meantime there i{s no intention | on the part of the administration to be | pushed into hasty action by rumors of | trouble in Samoa and the report emanat- |ing from German sources that for the | surrender of her rights In the islands of Tutuila and Savaii Germany should be | glven possession of Upolu and additional | compensation. It was significantly stated to-day that | the President proposed to carefully guard | every Interest of the United States in | Tutufla in view of American possession { of the harbor of Pago Pago on that isl- {and by this Government, and to require | adequate compensation for the surrender of American claims to the islands of Upolu and Savali. | he authorities have determined that | there shall be no additional commission | appointed to settle the Samoan question, | but the matter will be ended by direct negotiations between the three Govern- ments. It is apparent that these negotia- tions will consume several months, and | as a preliminary to them it may be de- | cided to put into force some of the rec- ommendations of the Joint High Commis- sion, which some months ago investi- fltedd the conditions prevailing in the slands. — .

The coming of the representative 1s kept a close secret by the administra- tion, but from a high authority the World correspondent learns that these are the exact terms Aguinaldo desires: 1. Absolute free trade between the United States and the Philippine Isiands, carrying with it the fullest commercial favor between the two countries. 2. Perfect religious freedom, as now exists under the government of Aguinaldo, the same being a concession made by him to the wishes of the United States. 3. Coaling stations for the United States upon all Important islands of the archipelago, to be selected by the United States and ceded outright forever by the Filipinos. This would include Manila. 4. Military reservations at Manila, Tlollo, Panay, Mindora, Negros, Masbate, Samar, Mindanao and such other islands as may be de- u,rmlne:l upon by both Governments. tn the customs and all other internal branches of the Government, to be selected by the ernment. system. 7. The establishment of a judiclary as now exists on the island of Cuba. The reconstruction of the entire Filipino Government upon lines as nearly consistent as possible with those prescribed by the con- stitution of the United States and adanted to the requirements of the natives, 9. Recognition of the Filipino Government as an independent republic under a protec- torate of the United States, Senor Regidor will have plenipotentiary powers to treat with the United States Government upon all of these points in order to reach an agreement by which hostilities may cease. Senor Regidor will be the most im- portant political emissary ever sent to the United States by the Fillpinos. He will | have more power than Agoncillo, who was | summarily driven out of Washington after presenting a memorial to Congress, which was notable alone for its indiscreet attack upon the United States. Senor Regidor will represent Aguinaldo himself. Regidor is said to be a man of great ability and learning, having had long ex- perlence In European diplomatic circles. The Filipino Government has had no representation here since the banishment of Agoncillo. But e administration has been fully informed of the Gemands of Aguinaldo and his advisers through the dispatches of General Otig and the secret service maintained by this Government in Europe. GEORGIA WELCOMES LIEUTENANT BRUMBY Will Be Presented With a Sword by the People of the State for Bravery. ATLANTA, Oct. 25.—The arrival of Lieutenant Brumby of the Olympia here to-night to recelve his formal welcome into the city and his native State was the signal for a nolsy and enthusfastic de- monstration. A special train brought him from his home at Marietta, Ga., twenty miles from Atlanta, where he went yes- terday to spend a short time with his mother and relatives. To-night he was given a reception at the Capital City Club and to-morrow the presentation of the sword from the people of Georgla will take place. The ceremony will take place in front of the State Cap- itol and the sword will be presented by Governor Candler. Lieutenant Brumby and the reception committee will then go to the reviewing stand on Peachtree street, where the military parade, made up of troops from all parts of Georgla and many adjolning States, will be wit- nessed.

SEATTLE, Oct. %.—The National Wo- | man’s Christian Temperance Union closed | its twenty-sixth annual convention and | silver jubllee in this city to-day and to- morrow will witness the departure of a large number of the delegates for the East. Some will remain on the Pacific Coast visiting friends and relatives and a number will go from here to Southern California. The excitement over the denunclatory resolutions on the natonal administra- tlon’s policy in the Philippines and on the | interpellation of the ‘“‘anti-canteen law,” | passed yesterday, had not died out when | to-day's meeting convened. Many dele- gates inslst that the union made a seri- ous mistake in condemning the adminis- | tration. A high officer, in an authorized interview to-day, while refusing to al- low her name to be used, said: ‘“The union made the mistake of its life in passing the resolution. In order to further our temperance work we have much to ask of the administration and our re- quests will have but little welght when by our minutes we show that we have no faith in President McKinley and the other official heads of our Government. The Euninn will live to regret yesterday's | work.” { _Throughout the session to-day nothing sald about yesterday's resolutiuns. Hannah J. Bailey of Maine, superin- tendent of the peace and international arbitration department, under the aus- pices of which the Philippine war resolu- tion was introduced, read her report. The on.y reference made to the criticisms by her committee was when she said: “We do not criticise the soldlers who from a sense of apprehended duty and so-called patriotism enlist.”” Miss Mary C. Brehn of Illinois, super- | intendent of the department of franchises, read her report. After a number of local addresses -had been delivered the afternoon meeting ad- Journed. The executive committee, to whom had been referred the matter of selecting next year's meeting place, met to-night, out made no selection. It will meet again to- morrow and there is every indication that Indianapolis, Ind., will be named.

CHICO, Oct. %.—At last some action has been taken In the notorious will con- test in the Alfred Fuller estate. The full history of this alleged will was given in The Call somo time last summer and, as was then predicted and intimated, that sooner or later the principals to the will would find themselves in deep water.
