SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.
And For First 10 Years Only
Bread and Water.
> Cincinnati, Sept. 15 —Gene
va, in which city the Empress
os Austria was assassinated, is
located in the Canton of Waadt.
In this canton capital punish
ment is not permitted by the
law, the severest penalty indict
ed for murder being life im
prisonment.
Speaking of the treatment ac
corded life prisoners who have
been convictcu of murder, F. J.
Diem, the Swiss Consul in Cin
cinnati, said Wednesday:
“It is as severe as can be
imagined. For the first 5 or 10
oears, according to the sentence
of the court, the convict is kept
in solitary confinement, during
which period he is fed on breac
ami water only.
“II at the expiration of that
time he proves a good prisoner,
he is put at hard work for the
remainer of his life, but his ex
clusize bread and water diet
ontinu is.
“The only alleviation he ever
receives is medical attention if
taken ill. But this only prolongs
his sufferings,’ 7
Mr. Diem also explained :
“There is a law of the canton,
however, which will permit the
assassin, who is an Italian, to
bs tried in the Italian court.
“Or, with the consent of Ita'y,
he can be extradited to Austria,
and there tried. In both Italy and
Austria murder is punishable by
death. ”
Mr. D.em is also of the opinion
that the murder of the Empress
of Austria will result in the laws
of the Canton of Waadt being
changed, permitting capital pun
ishment in the future.

THE CAROLINES LOST.
Reported That Tho Insurgents
Have Defeated Spaniards.
San Francisco, Sept, 15. —The
Caroline group of islands, which
belong to Spain, it undoubtedly
by this time in the hands of the
natives of the group, with the
Spanish garrison overthrown.
News of a revolution in the
islands reached this city in let
ters from Honolulu by the
steamer Coptic. The story was
borne to Honolulu by a trading
schooner which touched at the
Carolines.
The native kings of the group
who had long been at war with
each other months ago declared
a truce, combined their forces
and began a war against the
Spanish authorities. The Span
iards were concentrated at Pon
ape, and it was here the natives
made their attack.
The blacks fought with such
yigor and in such numbers that
the Spaniards were compelled
to retreat and take shelter in the
barracks, which they held. The
gunboat Quiros was then dis
patched to Guan for aid, but on
arriving there found the Ameri
can flag floating, The Quiros
never returned, and at Yap, ia
the Caroline group, it was
thought she was lost. The sup
position is that the Ladrone gar
rison of America is had posses
sion of her.
There were 200 soldiers in
Ponape, but these were poorly
supplied with ammunition, and
in no position to resist a pro
longing attack. The belief is that
the place was captured and tho
Spanish garrison slain. The
entire group, unless the Span
iards made an unexpected stand,
must be by this time in the pos
session of the natives.
