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. 1 _ Ifc 1 ' 11 —L r HIS WHIKERS _.•> f..: New YoukEß Lost Them By Elec tricity.

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.
