H. Jackson, a noted Confederate cavalry leader and the proprietor of the Belle Meade farm, died at his home, Belle Meade, near here, this afternoon. He was |68 years of age. General Jackson had | been in failing health for more than a | year and dangerously ill for several weeks | past. Since the war General Jackson has de- voted himself to agriculture and the | breeding of thoroughbred horses, some of | the most noted performers of the Ameri- can turf having been reared at Belle Meade. Two children, William H. Jack- |son Jr. and Mrs. Seline Ellison, survive | him. General Jackson was a brother of the late Howell E. Jackson, Assoclate | Justice of the Supreme Court of the | United States. | EMERL | General W. H. Jackson, the master of | the Belle Meade stock farm, was one of the most picturesque characters who sur- vived the early days of ‘‘reconstruction.” His life was indissolubly linked with the stence of his great thoroughbred nur- | eral Jackson was a Tennesseean and |a typical representative of the old-time Southern gentleman, both in appearance | and character. He came from an old Vir- ginia family, his father, Dr. Alexander Jackson, having gone from that State to Vest Tennessee in 1828 and settled in { Paris, where he became one of the lead- | ing men of that section. | General W. H. Jackson was born In | Paris, Tenn., October 1, 18%. He was a | West Point graduate, and In 185 entered | the regular army, serving until the out- break of the Civil War, when he resigned his commission and united his fortures with the Southern Confederacy.

He tered tHe Confederate army as a captain of artillery and rose to the rank of briga- dier general, afterward taking command‘ of General W. B. Forrest's old division | with a Texas brigade added. General Jackson cherished as one of the fondest memories of his life the period of five years on the Western frontier. Dur- ing those years of thrilling adventure he was located In Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, and much of the time he was engaged in actual hostilities with the Co- manche, Kiowa, Apache and Arapahoe Indians. In most of his expeditions Gen- eral Jackson was accompanied by Kit Carson and the noted French guide La Rue. In 185 he escorted a train of 8000 | ox wagons, each drawn by from ten to fourteen yoke of oxen, from Fort Leavan- worth to Fort Unlon over the old Santa | Fe trail, a distance of 1500 miles. On the | trip he often saw herds of buffaloes and | antelopes numbering 500 head. The In-| dians were especially troublesome and the s:!dleru frequently had brushes with them. POLIGE ARREST MANY STRIKERS Striving to End Reign of Lawlessness in Waterbury. —— WATERBURY, Conn., March 30, |een men placed under charge of assault with in lh?‘ record of activity on bolice to-day in-thefr efforts Ve the authors of some of the ofifbfe‘;:fi?fi? Ivlnlenoe which have occurred since the beginning of the strike of motormen and conductors on the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company eleven weeks ago. The men arrested are charged in {he warrants with assault on Willlam T. Mer- rer and George Morrisette on the night of February 2 with intent to kill. These twe men were non-union employes of the trolley company, who had charge of a car which was attacked at a lonely spot ¢n the Waterville line. Both were as- saulted and one was beaten into insensi- bility and left lying on the rails. This occurred a little more than a week prior to an attack of a similar nature on a car at Fort Park, when Policeman Paul Men- delsohn was killed by a bullet from a mob of masked men. While the arrests to-day are nominally for the assault of February 26, the officlals do not deny that they hope from this action to learn something that will clear the mystery of Mendelsohn’s death. Of the arrested men several are mem- bers of the trolley men’s union now on a strike. These are Charles T. Ross, Har- ry W. Warren, Clifford Vandermark, Wil- lis Vandermark, David C. Marsh, Edward B. Winnegar and John McGuire. All of these except Ross and Willls Vandermark were. arrested by a squad of a dozen po- licemen who visited the meeting place of | the strikers’ unfon. They were taken to the police station and the hunt for others against whom the warrants were directed s Legun. Early this evening the police blotter centained the following additional names of men arrested on the assault charge: John Brearton, Ernest Wolcott, Charles Thorpe, John Ennis, James Whittymx, Michael Regan, James Quinn, Stephen Hall, Thomas Quinn, Joseph Kelly and William Costello.

WASHINGTON, March 30.—The War Department Is investigating charges that have been filed against Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Howze, who was in command of a post in Northern Luzon in 189%. The charge relates to cruelties to Filipinos, al- legations® bging made that Lieutenant Colonel Howze was cognizant of the fact that two natives were whipped to death and that no punishment of the offenders was ordered. It is stated at the War Department that so far as investigated it appears that the alleged outrage was perpetrated by na- tive officers while Colonel Howze was ab- sent after hostile Filipinos. The matter had been brought to the attention of Colonel Howze and a partial reply made that an investigation at the time showed that only one native had dled, and tnat his death was, not due to ill treatment, but to diabetes. Reports of alleged out- rages in the Philippines, for which Colonel Howze and some other officers are said to be responsible, are part of Gen- eral Miles’ report of his recent investiga- tion in the Philippines.

HOAHING WATERS FLL THE BAYOLS Cribbing at the Hymelia; Crevasse Is Slowly Melting Away. | NEW ORLEANS, March 30.—The carry- ing away of additional cribbing at the Hymelia crevasse early this morning brought the forces that have been at work there to the verge of abandonment | of the attempt to ciose the break. Later | in the day, however, it was agreed to continue the undertaking, though all hands are likely to be called off if the terrific current washes out the new lines of cribbing which were started from both ends of the levee late this afternoon. In no event can the work be completed in- | side of a week, and unless ample money is given the next disaster to the cribbing is | likely to mark the end of the struggle. The Levee Board to-day let it be known that it was at the end of its resources, and that unless the planters and the rall- | roads could assure subscriptions amount- | ing to $50,000 it would be compelled to | throw up its hands. Doubtless double | that amount will be required to complete | the job. By evening it was said the break | was close to 700 feet wide, with the ends still steadily melting away. | Two ridges between which the levee caved have prevented the water from spreading rapidly above and below, but the mighty torrent is filling the lakes and | bayous to the rear, and in the next fort-| night the whole basin from La ‘Fourche to’ the lower limits of cultivated land in| Plaquemines Parish is likely to be under | water, causing inestimable damage and | much suffering. The Texas and Pacific Railroad is now hopelessly involved, with water running deep over the tracks and with little hope of an early resumption of | traffic if the crevasse is permitted to run | until low water comes. | The Howell crevasse is beyond control, | and this has suspended all traffic over the Napoleonville branch of the Southern Pa- cific. The river remained stationary to-day in front of this city, marking 20.3 feet at nightfall. The rise yesterday, however, | was two-tenths of a foot. An inspection | of the local levees gives no cause for ap- | prehension as to their safety. JURIST ANSWERS GAAVE CHARGES Supreme Court Justice of New Mexico on the Grill WASHINGTON, March 20.—Attorney General Knox to-day gave a hearing to Judge Daniel McMillan of the Supreme Court of New Mexico, against whom charges of immorality have been pre- ferred by citizens of that Terr A the charges and the evidence in support of them, as filed by the Department of Justice, had been read, counsel for Judge in McMillan filed voluminous affidavits contradiction of the charges. He supp mented them with a large number of let- ters and telegrams from citizens of the Territory, who declared that they had ne confidence in the charges. The Attorney General took the case un- der consideration and some days will eiapse before a decision is rendered John G. Mflburn of Buffale, N.

FIREMAN IS HURLED FROM WRECKED ENGINE TOANO, Nev., March ‘30.—A double- header westbound freight on the South- ern Pacific jumped a switch while pull- ing into the yards at Fenelon yesterday afternoon and as a result traffic was com- pletely blocked for some time. Both en- gines went into the ditch and half a dozen cars piled on top, tearing up and blocking the tracks. It was necessary to build around the wreck for a distance of 200 feet. No one was hurt, though the fireman on one of the wrecked engines was thrown thirty feet. —— VIENNA, March 30.—The Austrian-Hun- garian Government is supporting a powerful financial and commercial syndicate which is arranging to establish an Austro-Chinese bank at Tientsin, with a capital of $4,800,000, to develop Austrian-Hungarian trade with the Far East. story in sealed envelope, free.
