PLEADS FOR CUBANS
General Wood Says Assistance is
Vitally Imperative.
CONCESSIONS ON SUGAR URGENT
Members cf Senate Receivo Circular
Letter of Much Import from
Military Governor of
the Island.
A circular letter has been received
by members of the senate from Gen
eral Wood, military governor of Cuba,
urging concessions on Cuban sugar
coming into the United States. Gen
eral Wood says:
“1 desire to invite your most earnest
attention and consideration to tho eco
nomic conditions existing in Cuba to
day, conditions which threaten to
bring ruin to her principal industries,
sugar and tobacco, unless prompt and
efficient relief is given. With the ruin
of her two principal Industries we
must give up all hopes of stable gov
ernment, and unless Cuba can sell her
products at a reasonable profit, It Is
obvious that their cultivation must
cease, bringing idleness and hunger
to her people.
“Each day of delay in giving relief
is dangerous. When once the crash
comes, relief will be of little value ex
cept to the speculators who may gath
er up the wrecks here; the people of
the country, who have virtually recon
structed it in three years, will be ruin
ed, and we shall have to step in and
rooocupy the country, or continue in
occupation and do over again the work
which we have spent thousands of
lives and much treasure in doing up to
date. The situation demands relief
aud it should be immediate and lib
eral.”
Representatives Payne and Grosve
nor, the former chairman of the ways
and means committee, had a long con
ference with the president Monday on
the subject of the reduction of the tax
ou Cuban sugar imported into the Uni
ted States.
Republican leaders of the house, in
their desire to maintain their position
against sugar tariff reductions in the
interest of Cuba are endeavoring to
find some other way to grant benefits
to the Cuban planter.
One method under consideration
contemplates an increase by this gov
ernment in the countervailing duties
now imposed against, sugars from
those countries where the producers
have the advantage of government ex
port bounties.
JN A SECRET GRAVE
Bodies of the Biddles Will Be Hidden
From Possible Mutilation.
A Pittsburg dispatch says: Tho re
mains of Edward and John Biddle, tho
dead bandits, arrived at the Pittsburg
and Western railroad station at 11
o’clock Monday morning, and were at
once taken to the Pittsburg morgue.
Hundreds of persons gathered about
the station. When the train drew in
there was a rough scramble to get to
the platform of the depot, during
which several were bruised by being
crushed against the side of the stair
way. An immense crowd soon gath
ered at the morgue, but a large detail
of police prevented them from enter
ing the building. The remains of the
murderers were turned over to their
brother, Harry Biddle. To prevent tho
titurolltion of tho coffins and the mu
tilation of the bodies, which, in all
probability, would follow their bfirial
If the spot was generally known,
Harry Biddle has arranged a secret
plan to dispose of his brothers’ re
mains without letting the public know
where or when the interment will take
place.
The only matter now of anything
l:Ve absorbing interest in connection
with the Biddles is the fate of Mrs.
Soffel and anything she may say con
cerning the escape and subsequent
capture of the trio. Mrs. Soffel is ly
ing in the Butler hospital, and, though
a sick woman, her ease is not consid
ered really serious.

After Lingering In Agony Many Hours,
Both Wounded Men Cross
the Dark River.
A nows special from Butler, Pa.,
says: At the close of a day of Intense
excitement and many conflicting stories
concerning the chances for life of the
wounded Biddle brothers and Mrs.
Kate Soffel, the unexpected happen
ed. John Biddle, who until late Sat
urday afternoon was the more likely
brother to escape present death, suc
cumbed at 7:35 p. m.
His brother Ed, who had been un
conscious practically all day and who
was considered a dying man Friday
night, survived until 11 o’clock, when
he, too, went over the great divide.
Both men died without apparent suf
fering at the close.
Mrs. Soffel, who developed symp
toms of pneumonia, has a chajiee for
life, and unless some unforeseen com
plication sets in, will recover.
The death of Jack Biddle was caus
ed by the bullet wounds In his abdo
men and bladder. Early in the day
the physicians thought peritonitis was
the principal danger in his case, but
internal hemorrhage finally set In and
the man bled to death in a short
while.
As long as he was able. Jack was
extremely talkative and was at times
boastful. But as soon as the shadow
or death began to fall upon him and
he recognized it, he became repentant.
"I know,” he said, "that my time is
short, and you can say for me that I
am a Christian and will die a sincere
believer in God, and hope I have
strength enough to say so at the last.
I know I have taken part in many
wrong deeds, but I have never killed
any man and was never implicated
with any one who did.”
TWO MILLIONS IN SMOKE.
--
Waterfcury, Connecticut, Visited By
a Fearful Conflagration.
In the hardest gale of the winter
Waterbury, Conn., struggled Sunday
night with a fire that destroyed a
large area of the business section of
the city and threatened to wipe iti out
entirely. The blaze started In the up
holstery department on the third
floor of the store of Reed – Hughes,
dry goods company, Nos. 108 to 120
Bank street, and that store and many
adjoining buildings were reduced in
a few hours to smoldering embers.
An estimate of $2,000,000 as the
amount of the properly loss on build
ings and contents was considered
conservative by insurance men.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and it was not discovered until it had
gained tremendous headway.
At 6:15 p. m. three employes cf the
Reed – Hughes company were in
their store and when they left noticed
no ordor of smoke about the house.
Fifteen minutes later flames were
seen to burst with great force from
the window of the third floor, and al
most simultaneously from tho base
ment. Before anybody could send in
an alarm the whole interior cf the
building was a mass of flames, which
spread rapidly to adjoining buildings
The fire started in a drizzling rain
and late rturning to snow with el rap
idly rising wind.

WOMAN USED GUNS
Escaping Murderers Are Shot
Down By Pursuing Posse.
MRS. SOFFEL IN THICK OF FIGHT
Cloze of the Tragedy a Thrilling One.
Woman Received Bullet in Breast,
While the Biddles Were
Liberally Perforated.
A Pittsburg, Pa., special says: Ed
ward Biddle, in jail dying; John Bid
dle, riddled with buckshot and in a
precarious condition, and Mrs. Peter
K. Soffel, lying in the hospital with
a self-inflicted bullet wound in the
breast, Is the sequel of the sensation
al escape of the Biddles from the Alle
gheny jail, aided by Mrs. Soffel, the
wife of the jail warden, on Thursday
morning.
The story of the close of the Biddle
tragedy, which came at 5:45 o’clock
Friday afternoon, is a thrilling one.
The scene was a snow-covered road
two miles east of Prospect, Butler
county, near Mount Chestnut, and the
exact place was at McClure’s barn,
where two double team sleighs filled
with eight officers, overtook the Bid
dles in a one-horse sleigh, stolen at
Perryville, and at once opened fire on
the trie. The Biddies returned the
fire after jumping out of the sleigh.
Mrs. Soffel’s wound wa sthrough the
breast. Edward Biddle was shot in
the left arm, in the breast and in
one leg. John Biddle was riddled
with buckshot in the breast and head.
It was only a question of time when
the officers who set out on the chase
would catch up with the escaping
condemned murderers and their eom
panion. The Biddles and Mrs. Soffel
ate dinner at J. J. Stevens, at Molunt
Chestnut, live miles cast of Butler.
The Pittsburg officers reached
Mount Chestnut not less than half an
hour after the Biddles and Mrs. Sof
fel. At this point fresh horses were
secured and the chase for life began.
The two sleighs, with the eight offi
cers aboard, started westward and
met the Biddles and Mrs. Soffel at Mc
Clure’s barn, two miles from Mount
Prospect. The Biddles, having learn
ed that they were almost overtaken
and taking what they considered the
only chance they had, drove eastward
and met their doom.
The Pittsburg and other officers
were armed with winchester rifles and
revolvers of large calibre. They shot
to kill and their aim was perfect. The
Biddles tried to kill to the last of their
string, but not one of the eight offi
cers has a wound as the result of the
battle.

snow-covered ground the officers
picked up the apparently lifeless
todies of Mrs. Soffel and the Biddles
and returned to Butler with the stolen
sleigh, patched up harness and worn
out horses that the trio had tried so
strenuously to get away with toward
Canada and liberty.
Mrs. Soffel made a statement after
her capture in which she said she be
came involved in the affair through her
sympathy for Ed Biddle. She said she
now realized her mistake and wished
she was dead. She said she did not
shoot herself, but was the first one
shot by the detectives.

APPEAL MADE PUBLIC
Grounds Upon Which Schley Asks
Roosevelt’s Intervention.
MAIN FEATURES OF DOCUMENT
President Is Asked to Indorse Minor
ity Opinion of Admiral Dewey
As a Matter of Right
anif Justice.
The navy department Wednesday
made public Admiral Schley’s appeal,
delivered to the president about a
week ago. The department’s “com
ment” will be published in a day or
two.
Admiral Schley appeals to the pres
ident as the chief executive and com
mander in chief of the army and
navy, “vested with power to regulate
and direct the acts of the several ex
ecutive officers thereof” and he asks
that the president review the findings
of the court. He asks this on three
grounds, in each case basing his ap
peal on the findings of Admiral Dew
ey, as opposed to the majority report.
These three grounds are set out
compendiously in the “petition” which
fills about eight printed pages of a
pamphlet and is signed by Admiral
Schley and Messrs. Raynor, Parker
and Teague, of his counsel. Attached
to the petition are three exhibits, “A,”
“B” and “C,” each made up of copious
extracts from the testimony taken by
the court of inquiry and intended to
confirm the statements of facts made
in the petition itself.
In brief, the appeal of Admiral
Schley asks that the finding of Admi
ral Dewey be sustained.
Schley says he was in sole com
mand at the battle.
Sampson arrived one hour and thir
teen minutes after the last of the
Spanish ships had hauled down their
flag.
He contends that his blockade was
effective and proper.
The passage from Cienfuegos waa
made wdth all possible dispatch.
Every movement was the work of
Admiral Schley’s plans.
Finally, it is reiterated that the ma
jority rejected all of Schley’s testi
mony and of his witnesses, although
he was on the stand many hours and
subjected to the most searching ex
amination, and by so doing they havs
perverted the ends of justice.
CARS “SKATED” DOWN HILL.
Peculiar and Death-Dealing Accident
on Pittsburg Trolley Line.
Three people killed, two fatally hurt
and a score of others more or less in
jured is the record made by two runa
way cars on the Monongaheia branch
of the Pittsburg, Pa., railway Wed
nesday night.
The accident happened at the foot
of a long hill running into Wilmer
ding from McKeesport. A car with
out passengers got beyond control of
the motorman and dashed down the
hill, 1 1-4 miles, at a terrific speed.
At the bottom it jumped into the Penn
sylvania station, carrying away the
side of the depot and tearing up the
platform.
A large crowftl gathered about the
wreck and twelve minutes later a sec
ond run away car came tearing down
the hill and plowed into the crowd
with death-dealing force.
A binding sleet storm prevailed at
the time, and it is said the two cars
