As early as 11.0'clock in the forenoon the thermometer at the Weather Bu- reau registered 91 degrees. It remained at this point for four hours, when the 92 mark was reached. Later in the day a slight breeze came from the West and brought a little re- lief, but the forecast for tomorrow calls for a continuation of the hot wave. MILWAUKEE, Wis, Auk 22.—Five deaths and elght prostrationy were as- cribed to the heat in Milwauilee today. The thermometers registered in the vicinity of 90 degrees. CLEVELAND, Aug. 22.—A week's pe- riod of high temperature reached an almbst intolerable degree of intensity here today. Four deaths from heat prostration occurred during the day. Nearly a score of other prostrations were reported. Mother Tells How .LCh_ild Was Slain. ° +* : Describes Scenes Which Aroused Hatred of Indian Girl. SPECIAL DISPATCE TO THE CALI day of the trial of Dora Chipp, the Indian girl accused of the murder of tlie infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Williim Beale on June /15, was continued here today. The proseciition continued its exam- ination of Mrs. Beale, the witness who was called yesterday and who testified then that she had left her baby near the carriage when she escaped from Dora Chipp. The District Attorney introduced as evidence the blood stained lace cap worn by the child on the day it was murdered. Mrs. Beale testified that the bullet holes in the cap were not there when she left the child. She also testified that when she last saw her child the little one was standing up between herself and the bugsgy. When asked whether she had ever had trouble with Dora Chipp before Mrs. Beale replied that about two months before the murder she had trouble with the derendant over a horse trade. Mrs. Beale then averred that ten days later Dora Chipp, dis- satisfled with the trade, appeared at her house and wanted to “trade back.” Mrs. Beale was not willing to “trade back,” and Dora declared ~that she would take the horse back any way and started to carry her threat into execu- tion, but was stopped by Beale, who told her to go home. She departed and returned the next day with her brother and the horses were traded back. Mrs. Beale could not identify a re- volver, which® was supposed to be the one which Dora Chipp had fired at her on another occaston. Upon cross-examination Mrs. Beale testified that Dora Chipp had worked for her at one time. She glso testified that when ther horse trade began to look interesting she had gone to the house and loaded.a revolver. Amos Richardson, who found the body of the Beale child, testified as to the finding of the body, saying that as soon as he discovered it he notified the Beales and returned with them when they went to get it. He sald he found the body about'twenty-fivegyards from the buggy, which was standing in the middle of the road with the horse at- tached. Richardson further stated that when he went to notify Mrs. Beale of his discovery he found her in the house of Seaver, a neighbor. County Physician McNulty was th, called. Dr. McNulty testified that his autopsy on the child revealed two bul- let holes in the head. He said he was not able to trace the course of the bullets, but was sure that one lodged in the brain. He also sald that on the hood worn by the child there were deep powder burns, indicating that the shots had been fired at close range. —— BANKER STENSLAND’S FLIGHT IS ENDED BY PURSUERS Alleged Embeszzler in Custody Accord- ing to Secretary of Chicago’s Finaneial Institution.

At 9:30 this morning the forces led by -'ino Guerrerc, an ex-) Congressman and an infliential man, who was thought to be many miles eastward, and sundry other insurgent bands attacked San Luis, which is sit- | uatea on the railroad abeut ten miles west of Pinar del Rie City. A sharp and decisive engagement followed, dur- ing which a number of men were killed | or woundea. i | The town was defended by less than 100 rural guards, fifty of whom sur- rendered to the insurgents and are held as prisoners. The insurgent forces are in possession of the railroad station and of the town, which is re- suming its normal conditions By the capture of San Luis, swhichi has about 5000 inhabitants, the Insung obtained an imporiant erations. 3 4 i The bands of “Guésréra, Pozo and others, - aggregating about 400 men, concentrated this morning in the vi- cinity of San Luis. Seventy rural guards under command’of Major Lau- rent were to. attack the insurgents frcm the east and thirty men under Lieutenant Azcuy were to attack from the west. Ascuy arrived first and got into an ill-timed engagement with far superfor detachments, with the result that he was forced to retreat hastily to San Luis, pursued by a portion of the | enemy. The rural guards took refuge in thelr quarters and Guerrera's men rcmained in possession of the town. BATTLE IN THE AFTERNOON. This afternoon Major Laurent had a hot fight with the insurgents under Guerrera and other insurgent com- menders, and reports that several were killed or wounded. He pursued | Guerrera, but, so far as known, did not retake the town. One hundred recruits were started westward this evening on board a special train, but it is not likely that they will be permitted to reach San Luis. A detachment of 100 recruits on their way to Guines had a slight encounter today with insurgents, but no one on either side was hurt. | An attempt is being made with 200 mounted rural guards and regulars to corner Quentin Bandera, who, with 150 men, is continuing his dodging tactics in the western part of the province of Havana. Three large bands of insurgents are out in the provinces of Santa Clara. The insurrection appears to be grow- ing, but the loyalists of the towns claim that they will be able to resist the movement. PALMA MINIMIZES RESULT. It became known later in the day that practically all the inhabitants of the town of Agucate had, with the Mayor, declared themselves in insur- rection against the Government President Palma today said: “Our situation at first was one of unpreparedness, as usual in such cases, but there is positively no cause - for alarm. The movement in Santa Clara province is small, In Matanzas it is trifling, and the bands in Pinar del Rio are smaller than reported and poorly led.” While the foregoing Is typical of the utterances of Government officlals, there are evidences of threatening in- creases in the numbers of the insur- rectionists. In the province of Santa Clara the dissatisfaction is wide- spread, and in the province of Havana a great many people are in sympathy with the insurgents. In some cases whole communities appear to have been carried away by the recrudes- cence of insurrectionary times. The extent to which this will lead to open rebellion is still uncertain. .
