Special Dispateh to The Call. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Cuba is the most serlous question now before the Government. It is the one question which may cause an extra session of Congress. All other questions can be disposed of by the present Congress or can wait until the regular session of the next Congress in December. There have been many pro- tests by Senators and Representatives against an extra session, but the Presi- dent sees danger In delay. The constitu- tional convention in Cuba is rapidly draw- ing near fits adjournment when it will present the product of its work to this | Government for approval. The President insists that this Govern: ment should not keep Cuba waliting for a verdict. The United States, as liberator | of Cuba, must be prepared to deal frank- ly with the new republic because of the relations it must bear from now on for all time to this country. Congress, by its sentimental gush over independence for Cuba two years ago, made it practically fmpossible for the President to aot alone in this matter. Congress must share re- | sponsibility with the executive of saying | whether or not the Cuban constitution meets with the approval of the United States. This question is regarded as more seri- ous than that of subsidy bills, appropria- tion bills or civil government for the Phil- ippines. It is u crisis in Cuban affairs. It is as great as the crisis three yearg ago when Cuba was fighting for independence and the United States intervened to drive Spain from the island. Tt is a crisis which demands immediate attention after the conven'lor: in fiavana . as adopted™a constitution. It is to be the birth of the republic for which tms Government stands sponsor, and the President insists the responsibility is -so great that Con- | Tt is one question the texture that it suggests those Indian mus- | *could be | harmonizing with the | | Congress gress should meet extra session to ap- prove or disapprove of that constitution. President looks upon as grave enough to justify an extra session. He may not call an extra ses- sion, but is prepared to do so and will | do so if the Cuban constitution is sent to Washington within the next two months. It is not a question as to whether that constitution meets with the President’s approval or not. It is not a question whether the Cuban convention recognizes any relations with the United States or not. He will call Congress together to act upon the constitution, whatever it may be. The President has been frank | with Senators and Representatives who have discussed the question of an extra session with him. He has told them that must act with the executive upon this question of the Cuban republic. He is pot disposed to find fault with the pledges made by Congress in the Cuban resolution of April. 188. He approved these resolutions at the time, and acted upon them in using the army and navy for forcible intervention in Cuban affairs. A new feature of the Cuban question has now come to issue. It is what limita- tions, if any, shall be put upon the inde- "pendence of the Cuban republic. Con- gress must decide whether the constitu- tion of Cuba justifies this Government in withdrawing its troops.and leaving the child it has taken from its old parents to stand alone and shouider all the conse- quences and responsibilities of indepen- dence. The President beligves it unwise to delay actlon or adopt expedients. He belleves the relations of Cuha to the United States should not be fixed. His expression is: “We are to make our bed, and we should ree that it is one on which we can le. BOXERS SLAY AND MUTILATE. Overcome a Party of British and Japanese Soldiers. VICTORIA. B. C., Feb. 6.—Not always do the expeditions of the allies against the Boxers meet success, for according to advices received by the Empress of China to-day a small foraging expedition of Japanese and British were badly cut up by Boxers on January 15, not far from Shanhaikwan. The party, which num- bered ten or. twelve, started from Shan- haikwan on a foray and had arrived at the village of Lochunton, three miles from Shanhaikwan, when it was attacked by a band of 300 Boxers. The British and Japanese made a running fight.of it. Five of the Japanese managed to get back to the camp at Shanha.xwan that night and another very badly wounded man was brought in after nightfall by Chinese. The remainder of the party were killed and their bodles were horribly mutilated. Two companies were sent against the vil- 1age to punish the Boxers for the attack. About Peking quite a number of brushes with the Boxers occurred in the first two weeks of January. Tn one of the expedi- tions Lieutenant McPherson did a brave act. He outdistanced his men while lead- ing them agalnst a temple, and, scaling the wall, found himself alone. He backed up against the wall and kept the Boxers at bay until help arrived. Two were killed with his revolver, but as he was out of ammunition he must have been killed had s men not &rrived just in time. * GLNERAL TUNG FU.SIANG IN WAR COSTUME. THIS NOTORIOUS LEADER CARRIED OUT PLANS FOR ATTACKS ON FOREIGNERS. THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT IS STRIVING TO SAVE ..:IS HEAD. e .EKING, Feb. 6.—As had been ar- I'king the plans against the foreigners, and ranged at the meeting of the -for- elgn Ministers and Chinese plenl- potentiaries . to-day, the entire proceedings were . conducted orally, no writings being presented to the Chinese. A formal indictment against the twelve officlals whose punishment had been de- manded by the powers was read, however, though Kang Yi and L1 Ping Heng are dead. The officlals whose punishment has been demanded are: PRINCE CHUANG, commander chief of the Boxers, who had a large share in the responsibility for promises m of rewards of fifty taels for the capture | of foreigners and the death of persons protecting them. PRINCE TUAN, the principal insti- gator of the troubles into which he dragged the Chinese Government, Who was appointed president of the Tsung i Yamen, after giving advice to the Ghinese Government; who was responsible for the edicts against foreigners issued between June 30 and August 16, and is mainly responsible for the massacres in the prov- inces, especlally Sha who ordered the troops to attack the legations in opposi- tion to the wish of high mandarins, who were looking to a cessation of hostilitles; who secured the execution of members of the Tsung Li Yamen who were favorable to forelgners: who is the recognized au- thor of the ultimatum of June 19 directing the diplomatic corps to leave FPeking within twenty-four hours and who or- dered before the expiration of this delay firing upon all forelgners found upon the streets of the capital, and who was prac- tically the author of the assassination of Baron von Ketteler, the German Minister. DUKE LAN, vice president of the Po- lice Department, who was accessory to, the giving of orders for the capture of foreigners and was the first to open the gates of the city to the Boxers. YING NIEN, who was criminal ac- complice of Prince Chuang and Duke Lan in their machinations. KANG LI; one of the instigators and counselors of the Boxers, who always protected them and was most hostile to any understanding looking to the re-es- tablishment of peaceful relations with the foreigners and who was sent at the com- mencement of June to meet the Boxers and endeavor to deter them from enter- ing the city, but who, on the contrary, encouraged them to follow the work of destruction, and who signed: with Prince Tuan and Ying Nien their principal no- tices and prepared the plan for the ex- pulsion and annihilation of foreigners in the provinces of the empire. CHAO SU KIAM, a member of the Grand Council and also Minister of Jus- tice, who was one o# the leaders against the foreigners and mainly responsible for the execution of the officials killed dur- ing the siege for having tried to stop the attack against the legations, and who ten- dered the Boxers every encouragement. YU HSIEN, who recognized the Box- ers, was the author of the massacres in the Shanst Province and assassinated with his own hand foreigners and mis- sionaries, and who was noted for cruelty, which stained with blood the whole coun- try over which he was Governor. GENERAL TUNG FUH SIANG, who with Prince Tuan carried out in Pe- who commanded the attacks on the lega- tions and the soldlers who aesassinated | the JapanesesChancellor. LI PING HONG, who used his influ- ence to have the Boxers recognized as loyal and patriotic men, and who led the Government to use them with the object of extermination of foreigners. HSU TUNG, who has always been one of the officials most hostile to foreigne: who praised the Boxers, of whom he was | an accomplice. and who used all his influ- ence with high persons in the empire, be- | ing tutor to the heir apparent. HSU CHENG YU, who has the responsibility. ? KIH SU, one of the officials most hos- tile to foreigners and the minister at the rites of service of the Boxers. The Ministers definitely decided to de- me ;mannl the imposition of the death penalty ypon all twelve of the Chinese officials named in the list submitted. including those who are dead, on account of the moral effect upon the Chinese. The sentence on the living must be in- flicted. except in the cases of Prince Tuan and Duke Lan, which the Emperor may commute to banishment to Turkestan. The foreign Ministers gave out for pub- lication a secret imperial edict handed to them . yesterday by plenipotentiaries, which pleads especially for the life of Tung Fuh Slang. commander in chief of the army. It says the only reason {s on account of the turbulent pop- ulation of the provinces of Shenst and Kansu, who are devoted to him, and might rise and commit acts of violence against the misslonaries and Christians, which the court would greatly deplore. Conse- quently his punishment requires caution, deliberation and careful consideration. The Emperor, it is pointed out, even in the punishment of Princes of the blood, has not been moved by motives for their protection. Why, then, should he do so in the case of Tung Fuh Siang? What had already been done should be taken into consideration. His army had been reduced to 5000 men with the object of lessening his power and with the ultimate object of his future punishment which will be promulgated in an edict, the lan- guage of which will not be too patent. After the deprivation of his official rank, the Emperor will hereafter decide on a heavy punishment. —_— - TWO IMPERIAL EDICTS. They Show That China Means to Make Reforms. - SHANGHAL Feb. 6.—Two important im- perial edicts were issued to-day. The first provides, in accordance with article IIT of the peace conditions, for the sus- pension of official examinations for five years in places where foreigners were killed. The second edict forbids anti-for- eign societies, recites punishment of guilty parties and says local offiefals will be held responsible for the maintenance of order. 1t trouble occurs the officials will be re- moved without delay and will never again be allowed to hold office. These edicts, together with that of yes- terday. arranging for a conference of high officials to devise a plan for reforming the Government, are received here by all classes of Chinese conservative reformers with great enthusiasm Deed. ——— Oakland Office San Francisco €all, 1113 ‘Broadway, Feb. 6.

Miss O'Neil was fortunate in that only one of the leaden missiles took effect. The left cheek, fanged under the nose and lodged under the right eye Henderson's wound was in the right tem- ple. The girl is an attendant at the office of Dr. A. S. Larkey. She resides at 55 EI Dorado avenue, better known as Buena Vista avenue, Pledmont. The tragedy is the outcome of an acquaintance she formed six mont ago at a lodge of United Moderns in this city, of which she and Henderson were members. In a short while after the engagement matters took ) the young woman and she broke off the affair. She declares Henderson continued to shower his atten- tions upon her and she conm ged to re- celve him in spite of the ending of their proposed marriage pians. There was a meeting to-night between the pair by ap- pointment at Fourteenth street and Broadway, the girl Raving come down- town on a Piedmont car to meet Hender- son. From there they walked together to the Ross House, where. according to the young woman. they were to go and talk over their disagreement. Mrs. Abble E. Woods, one of the owners of the hous room, No. 2, paid the rent for one night and the girl’ passed in with him. The wounded girl on the operating table | at the Receiving Hospital told the follow- ing story of the subsequent happen! Bert locked entered and pulled out a pistol, ecommand- ing me to disrobe and retire, under pen- alty of being killed. He kept brandish- ing the pistol In a crazy-sort of way while he kept up his threats to shoot me. «“Trembiing with fear. I obeyed him. an1 then he prepared to retire.

I told him I would net do that, and then T jumped up from the bed as he pulled the pistol and snapped the trigger.

By that time a lot of peo- ple had gathered. .Some one came and put me on the sofa. where I remained un- til the police ambulance came.” Miss O'Neil said Henderson's home was somewhere in San Francisco. Before he went to work for the telephone company he had been in the Pacific Coast Steam- ship Company's employ. The girl is a brunette, plump and of dark complexion. She is quite prepossess- ing. On the operating table she displayed a phenomenal nerve, even before the’sur- geons assured her that she would not suf- fer permanent injury from the wound. She will be kept at the Receiving Hospital until she has fully recovered from the shock. The police are satisfled that her version of the shooting is true. Dr. H. 8 -gan, who was passing on Ninth street near the lodging-house. was called in. He gave the girl tempo- rary attentlon. He examined the man and pronounced him to be dead. The police sent the wounded girl to the hospi- tal and then the Coroner took charge of Henderson's body. The scene in the death chamber was a ghastly one. The bedding. walls and furniture were covered with blood; the clothing of both the girl and her companion was strewn about the place, and the horror of the sceme was heightened by the dramatic story of the young woman who so narrowly escaped death. The pistol used by the desperately in- fatuated man was a weapon of bulldog type, carrying a heavy bullet. The one which struck Miss O'Neil would have plerced her brain if it had been aimed half an inch higher. The wounded girl accepts the situation like a stoic. Her most serious fear was that the wound would Injure her featur The hospital surgeon ured the girl that this would be obviated by the careful use of the surgical Instruments. As she awalited the operation the young woman impatiently said: “It is too bad, T know. If T had only taken the warning of my folks this would not have occurred. They told me that he would make trouble for me. But I had no idea he would try to kill me. It was only to have a quiet distussion that I went to-the room with him. and I did not realize what was to occur until he be- n to threaten me with the pistol. “I never was at that place before, and had no idea where he was taking me.”
