Manotas Discusses | “The conduct of the United States We did not imagine that the United States would do that which she has done. I have not been to Bogota, but when I left Colom- bia the feeling against the United States was not strong. I do not think there is any danger. When I sailed no one knew exactly what action had been taken by the United States. The ac- tion of the United States has been against the treaty of 1846. The Govern- ment of this country guarantees the peace of the isthmus. Under %hat treaty the United States had no right to prevent the landing of Colombian troops to put down an Insurrection and to restore peace. “The United States has caused all the trouble in Panama. It is she who made the republic of Panama and she ought not to prevent the landing of our troops. Colombia does not want war; she wants to retake Panama. “Panamans have declared that they could put 10,000 men into the field against us. Well, that is certainly so. The next day we could put 100,000 in the field against them.” SIS RETRIY MISSION OF RUIZ REYES. Wants America to Permit Colombia to Retake Panama. Ruiz Reyes, representing the Govern- to Washington to intercede in behalf of his Government in connection with the recognition of the republic of Pan- ama, arrived here to-day on the steam- er Beverly. General Reyes is accom- panied by General Peelio Aspinal, General George Holquin and General Carbellero. They boarded the Beverly at Port Limon and came direct to this city.

It was admitted to be | a statement of Garnett's side of the | case and later Bradley issued a short summary of the statement, as follows: “I had no animosity toward or griev- | ance against Major McClung. I have ialways considered him a great friend. {1 had no real grievance of any kind against Mrs. Coit and consider her my | best friend. The pistol being a self- cocker, and being cocked, as I general- ly carry it, it went off in the scuffle | with the major, while he was trying to | take it away from me, and put me out |of the room. I deplore more than I Ican express this most unfortunate af- !fair. I was under the influence of stimulants when I entered Mrs. Coit’s apartments at the Palace Hotel. I have been in bad health for months.” CLOSETED WITH ATTORNEY. The information that Garnett was in Oakland was sent to Police Captain Petersen, who immediately detailed Sergeant Green and Detective Kyte upen the case. The information was accurate, for it took them to 804 San Pablo avenue, a small lodging-house just above Twenty-second street. The officers had no difficulty in finding the jroom and when they entered, three | men were smoking violently, while one | was writing busily. “Who is Mr. Garnett?” demanded Detective Kyte, and two men at once pointed to a small, nervous man who made no protestation. “I'm an officer, and I guess we want 0! said Kyte. “Mr. Garnett would have given him- | self up to-morrow morning. We were | just talking with him about the mat- {ter,” said the man who was writing as | he put the paper uvon which he was at { Work in his pocket. The speaker then ' announced himself as H. W. Bradley, } attorney and friend of all parties. There was no objection upon the part {of any one, and Garnett and Bradley | accompanied the two officers to the |Oakland City Prison, while Fontaine, { the’ third man of the trio, went his way. SLAYER IS UNSTRUNG. Garnett was very much unstrung and looked as if he had slept but little. He chewed or smoked incessantly, and while he was very nervous, it was the nervougness that follows drinking and the loss of sleep, rather than that of fear. He seemed to have no worry as to the outcome of the case. He talked in short sentences, but seemed to have a, (very clear idea of what had happened. | He repeated many times that he was | drunk at the time of the shooting, and that Major McClung had tried to put | him out of the room and that the pistol | was discharged in the struggle. Then 'he claimed that he asked Mrs. Coit to shoot him and handed her the pistol, nd that he was the one who called the ‘g?m"r before any one else summoned | him, | Garnett said that he had been in bad | health for some time and had been | drinking heavily. He admitted that the | story told by Mrs. Coit concerning a | auarrel with her over a game of crib- | bage was true and his drunken condi- tion was the cause of the trouble. Con- tinuing Garnett said: “I made up my mind that I would ! not let a matter of that kind drive from me an old and valued friend. I went to her rooms in the Palace Hotel intending to apologize for what I had said before. “Major McClung was there at the time. I did not want to make my ex- planation before a third party, though Major McClurg had =lways been a friend of mine. I asked him to retire, but he refused. I guess he saw that I had been drinking. I objected because he would nct go, and I may have said something. He started to put me out, and 1 drew my revolver, which I al- S | g0 to any of the hotels. They drove to the Louisville and Nashvilie offices jand bought tickets through to New | York, and made every effort to avoid publicity. The general had a satchel full of Colombian gold and paid for the tickets in the coin of that republic. General Reyes and party to-night left | for Washinkton, where they will ar- rive on Sunday morning. General | Reyes gave out an interview in which | he was going to see the President with his colleagues anid hoped to have the | United States dectde to keep its hands | off the isthmus and allow the Colom- | bians to regain Panama. If the United States would not agree to this then the | Colombians would march an army of /100,000 men across the mountains to | Panama, and, meeting only the 2000 Panamaians, would soon regain the | ¥ | o - i Major McClung Dies of His Wounds, and His Slayer, Alexander Garnett, Is Arrested by Police in Oakland ways carry. It was a self-cocking weapon, anrd I always earried it ready for action. There was a struggle, and it was during this that the pistol was discharged. I did not intend to fire it, and if you don't believe that it went off during a struggle, look at my hand.” ASKED TO BE SHOT. As he said this he heid out his left hand, upon which there were a few marks which might have been caused by his hand becoming jammed against the edge of a trigger guard. “When I heard the report,” continued Garnett, “and saw Major McClung fall I knew that he had been shot by my revolver. I became very much excited and handed the revolver to Mrs. Coit and begged her to shoot me. “Then I saw that everything was in an uproar and no one seemed to know what to do. I thought of calling a doc- tor, and it was I who brought one to the aid of Major McClunsg. “Theén T fled. I thought that it was wealth and soclety against a poor man and I determined to get away. I at once took a narrow-gauge route ferry- boat and boarded the Alameda train. I found myself somewhere in Alameda and took an electric car for Oakland. It was about midnight when I got here. “I took a roqm in a lodging-house on ‘Washington street and slept until this morning. I went out and got a cup of tea for breakfast and’ while I was idrinking it I read the story of the shooting in the newspapers. “I determined to send for my friend H. W. Bradley, with whom I had be- come - acquainted while transacting some of Mrs, Coft's business. I felt that T could trust him. I got Mr.. Fon- taine to go to his home in Alameda and bring him to Oakland. We got the room in which I was arrested and were talking the affair over when the Oakland police stepped in. I had de- termined to give myself up to the San Francisco police to-morrow and tell the whole story. BRADLEY’S STATEMENT. “There {8 one thing I want to deny positively, and that is that I tried to shoot Mrs. Coit. She has always been my friend and is a distant relative. T went to her rooms to apologize. After the shooting, instead of trying to shoot her, I handed her the pistol and asked her to shoot me. I have no ill feeling and never did have against either her or Major McClung.” H. W. Bradley made a statement of his connection with the matter, say- ing: “I am the attorney of Mrs. Coit and the friend of Garnett. We became ac- quainted through the business affairs of Mrs. Coit, with which we both had to do. A friend of Garnett came to my house to-day and told me that Gar- nett wanted to see me and he took me to him in Oakland. We had a little talk over the affair and T advised him to give himself up to-morrow. This he had agreed to do. He told me his story, which I have put into a short state- ment."” BACK TO THE PALACE. Arriving on this side of the bay De- tective Ryan took his prisoner first to the Palace Hotel, which was reached in a few ‘minutes after 10 o'clock. The two proceeded directly to the apart- ments of, Mrs. Coit, where it was the evident plan to have Garnett identi- fied by Mrs. Coit as the slayer of Ma- jor McClung. Captain of Detectives Martin and At- torney Bradley reachad tHe hotel a few minutes after Garnett was taken there and, though Ryan insisted that Mrs. Coit should identify Garnett as the man who shot Major McClung\in her pres- ence, this important and necessary de- tail of the law was not accomplished. All requests that.Mrs. Coit be seen were met with a refusal by Miss FIoN| rine Green, a friend. The lady informed Detective Ryan' that, by order of Dr. de Veechi, no one was allowed to see Mrs. Coit. Attorney Bradley, however, did not hesitate to enter Mrs. Coit's rooms and held a long conversation with her. Then he called in Captain of Detectives Martin, and fipally Dr. Whitney was sent for to join in the consultation. In the meantime Detective Ryan and ‘Garnett waited in the corridor of the hotel facing Mrs, Coit's apartments. Garnett was jgnorant of the death of Major McClung until he was informed by a Call reporter of the fact, and he simply replied, “Oh, that is all right.” Garnett was in a very nervous cendi- tion and started to speak and then would answer all questions by saying: “I don’t propose to talk any more.” For nearly two hours Garnett was kept in the corridor of the hotel, while Attorney Bradley and Captain of De- tectives Martin consulted in the apart- .ments of Mrs. Coit. Two ladies and a | isthmus. Then the United States, he said, would have to negotiate with Co- | lombia or build the Nicarague canal. | He said the Golomblans had no thought | of declaring war against the United | States, because they saw it would be | futile move. = S S AMADOR WILL BE PRESIDENT.

PANAMA, Nov. 26.—El Cronista, an old newspaper of school, publishes a long article on'thé career of Dr. Manuel Amador, Minister | of Finance of the republic of Panama,’ in which it is proclaimed that the doc- tor is the only possible candidate for | the Presidency of the republic. | .

Captain of Detectives Martin in- structed Detective Ryan to take Gar- nett to the City Prison and lock him a thorough patriot, a great administra- tor and honest and upright in all his dealings.

The elevator in which the assassin of Major McClung and his ‘guard descended to the ground floor of the Palace Hotel was filled with a gay crowd of men and women, but none knew . the identity of the man who stood.beside the detective. The officer and’ his prisoner boarded a car and quickly reached the - Hall of Justice, and at midnight Garnett was locked in a cell, v Dr. Whitney said last night that Mrs. Coit was in a very nervous condition and that it would not be wise for her to have identified Garnett, and Captain of Detectives Martin was satisfied with that statement and did not insist on the identification réquired by law. When Garnett was arrested by De- tective Ryan he had $20 in gold in his pocket. He was asked where he got the money, and he replied that he had been gambling a few days ago and won the coin, but refused to say where he won the money. ASKS FOR SOFT BED. Detective Ryan arrived with his pris- oner at the Hall of Justice shortly be- fore midnight and went immediately to the City Prison. Garnett was searched and about $18 was found in his posses- sion. Ryan is puzzled to know how he secured this, but the prisoner refused absolutely t6 give him any information. There were also three stickpins and a lock of hair wrapped in tin foil. Three photographs of a woman were taken from his wallet, but when asked who | she was Garnett replied that he thought | he could have women friends without | telling people about them. Garnett told the prison-keeper that | he wanted a good soft bed, as he had | not slept much the previous night and | also asked for other conveniences. At | first he seemed disinclined to talk, but | finally answergd all questions that | were put to him and even posed for a | flashlight photograph. He seemed to | be suffering from the after effects of drink and his hand was unsteady. He was registered on the detinue book and then placed in a cell on the felons’ side. Detective Ryan gave strict in- | structons that the prisoner be care- | fully watched, that he would have no opportunity of attempting suicide. McCLUNG'S STATEMENT. K Two hours #before Major McClung died a statement was secured from him by Bond and Warrant Clerk Louis H. Ward, in the presence of Mrs. McClung, Dr. G. F. Shiels and Detective C. J. Cody. This was not in the nature of “a dying statement,” and it is entirely val- ueless as evidence against Alexander Garnett. The statement made by Major Me- Clung is as follows: “SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26, 1903. “My name is J. W. McClung. My residence is at 857 Post street, in this clty. Last night about 5 o'clock I was going out from a call when Mr. A. G. Garnett came in. He, Garnett, was asked to go away by Mrs. Lillian Coit. He pulied a pistol and said he was going to kill her. I tcld him to go away, and he said ‘G— d— you, L kil you. Then he shot me once. He was wildly drunk. I was simply making a call. This occurred in the Palace Hotel. I hope to recover from this injury. I can’t add anything more. “J. W. M'CLUNG. “GEORGE FRANKLIN SHIELS, “LOUIS H. WARD, “CHARLES J. CODY.” Bond and Warrant Clerk Ward was asked last evening to explain why he did not take what is known as a “dy- ing statement” from Major McClung, and he said: “I went up to the Waldeck Sanato- rium to secure a statement from Ma- jor McClung. I met Dr. Shiels on en- tering the hospital. I told Dr. Shiels that I desired to secure a statement from the wounded man. Dr. Shiels said to me, ‘T think he is all in, but I really don’t like to tell him so. I have intimated it to him a number of times, but I fear the shock of telling him.’ USELESS AS EVIDENCE. “We went into the room where Major McCiung was lying in bed. Dr. Shiels told him who I was and what my offi- cial position was. Major McCiung then asked me what I desired. I told him that we wanted a statement from him as to the shooting, which we would use as a memorandum in case of his re- covery. I then said to him, ‘But if you are unfortunate and this injury should prove fatal, this statement will be used as evidence.’ I further said: ‘This state- ment to be a valid dying statement should be voluntary on your part; do you think you will recover?” “Major McClung then said: ‘The doc- tor knows more about that than I do. Doctor, don't you think 1 have a fight- ing chance? “Dr. Shiels replied, ‘Every man has a fighting chance.” Major McClung ‘hen said, ‘Doctor, don’t you think I "will get over this?' and Dr. Shiels replied, ‘You are shot very badly. I will have to wait,’ I then took the statement of Major McClung.” When a “dying statement” is re- quired to be used as evidence it is nec- essary under the law to inform the person from whom the statement is de- sired that his or her condition is such | that death is likely to take place and | that the statement must be voluntary | and with the knowledge that death is probably near. According to the explanation made by Bond and Warrant Clerk Ward, Ma~ i jor McClung was not informed that his | injury was likely toterminate fatally, but the matter was left in doubt. AUTOPSY AT HOSPITAL. .- Soon after the death occurred at the _sanatorfum every possible effort was made to prevent the body from being removed to the public morgue, as is customary in cases of murder. The fact that the victim was a son-in-law of a late Coroner, Beverly Cole, was glyen consideration and courtesies asked on that account. Coroner Leland was _sent fof and visited the sanator- tum, whers he had a conference with Dr. Shiels. After deliberation it was decided to have the autopsy surgeon | perform the autopsy where the death | ‘occurred and to then permit the re- moval of the body to an undertaking | -parlor. ‘District Attorney Byington was asked last evening ‘as to the statement se- cured from Major McClung by Bond | and Warrant Clerk Ward, and if it was | not the usual custom to inform a per- son from whom a “dying statement” | was required that dissolution was im- minent. He said: “It is not the province of the bond and warrant clerk or of my office to in- form a wounded person that he or she is likely to die when the doctor in charge of the case is present. In this case Dr. Shiels was the best judge as to the condition of the wounded man, and the bond and warrant clerk could only state the law as to any statement being voluntary. “I assume that the police have se- i i i INDIANS TELL ~ ANNUAL MESSAGE pearance of Japanese Cleared.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—President Roosevelt's annual message to Con- gress, which will be presented on the opening day of the regular session, on December 7, is nearly completed, and by next week it will be in printed form. Most of the text is in the hands of the public printer, but there are one or two subjects on which the President has not reached a decision as to how he should present them to Congress. One of these, it is sald, is the agitation to re- duce the tariff on all the products from the Philippines, a bill to that effect having failed of passagé in the last ses- sion at the last moment Secretary Root and Governor Taft, | who will succeed Root, have urged the | President, it is said, to impress upon Congress the necessity for this legis- lation. The President, on the other hand, is represented as being undecided whether it would be well to raise a fur ther tariff agitation at this time so close upon the heels of the Cuban reci- procity legislation. The question of re- ducing the tariff schedules for the Phil- ippines is one on which the party lead- ers differ widely. It has been proposed by a bill now in Congress to abolish all Philippine fes, except on su and tobacco, ould be redu: d {50 per cent of the present tariff rate. Governor Taft has urged that legisla- tion of this nature is necessary to de- velop the Philippine industries, and whatever the President may recom- mend doubtless will cause debate and opposition. —_———— Congressman Meets With Accident.

Nearly every one will admit that as a nation we eat too much meat and too little of vegetables and the grains. For business men, office men and clerks and, in fact, every one engaged in sedentary or indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more healthful. Only men engaged in a severe out- door manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health. As a general rule, meat once a day is sufficient for all classes of men, women and children, and grains, fruit and vegetables should constitute the bulk of food eaten. But many of the most nutritious foods are difficuit of digestion and it is of no use to advise brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the digestion is too weak to as- similate them properly.
