The capture by villagers and sut
cido on Saturday night at Torejon de
Ardos of Manuel Morales, the chiel
suspect In the bomb outrage against
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, adds
another dramatic chapter to the inci
donts surrounding the royal wedding
Morales was recognized in the
little town of Torrejon de Ardos, mid
way between Madrid and Alcala. A
guard sought to detain him, but Mor
ales, drawing a revolver, shot the
guard dead.
Then he turned to flee, but a num
ber of the Inhabitants of the town were
upon him, and turning the revolve:
upon himself he sent a Bhot In the re
gion of his heart, expiring a few
minutes later.
Tragedy at Royal Wedding.
The public rejoicings at Madrid
over the marriage of King Alfonso
and the Princess Victoria had a ter
ribly dramatic sequel at 2:30 o'clock
Thursday nfternoon as a bomb thrown
from an upper window exploded with
deadly effect near the coach occupied
by the king and queen.
Providentially, King Alfonso and
Queen Victoria escaped by an electric
wire deflecting the bomb, but at least
16 persons, most of them being of the
personal and military escort and others
spectators, were killed. Many others
were Injured.
The place from which the bomb was
thrown Is a boarding house. The
chamber from which the missile was
hurled was taken May 22 by a man
from Barcelona giving the name of
Moral. When the police surrounded
the house the man attempted to flee
but was captured. Another mas es
caped over the roofs of nouse.
Many arrests have been made,
among them that of Manuel Duran, a
Catalonlaii, who Is believed to have
been the principal conspirator. It Is
said that Immediately on the explos
ion Duran was seized and hurried
dowu stairs. As he entered the street
men flung themselves upon bini shout
ing "kill tho assassin." A mounted
guard pressed around and took him
away under strong escort. It had
been rumored that King Alfonso a few
days ago received an anonymous
warning of an Intended outrage but
tho authorities deny this.
. A member of the civil guard has rec
ognized Hamilton, an English sus
pect, as a companion of Manuel Mor
ales on the balcony. from which the
bomb was -thrown at the royal car
riage. The two men were also Been
together at Barcelona.
Navy to Bar Japanese.
All Japanese are to be excluded from
the uavy July 1, unless they produce
citizenship papers or a signed dec
laratlon that they intend to take out
the same. In future no Japanese will
be allowed In the navy unless he re
nounces tho mikado in favor of Uie
stars and stripes.
Orders to drop the names of all
alien Japanese from the papers of
every warship In this country have
been Issued by Secretary of tho Navy
Bonaparte. He further directs that
the' places of Japanese who have been
employed as stewards aud servants
are to be filled by American negroes.
The story is told by officers of the
American battle ships now at anchor
In the North river, that less than a
month ago a midshipman discovered
a Japanese steward making plans of
the business section of the turrets of
one of the latest types of warships.
The Jap's personal effects were
searched by order of the commander
of the ship. It was discovered that
he had been working for weeks on
plans of the ship and that he was a
remarkably fine draughtsman.
Terranova Woman Acquitted.
Josephine Terranova has been ac
quitted of tho murder of her aunt, Con
cetta Rlgglo, for which she has been
on trial for several weeks. She was,
however, not released, being remanded
to tho Tombs to answer to tho charge
of murdering her uncle, who was kill
ed at the same time as his wife.
The verdict was such a complete
surprise to Assistant District Attor
ney Ely, who has conducted the prose
cution, that he was unable to say defi
nitely whether the second charge
would be prosecuted.
The verdict was the more surprising
from the fact that, the killing being ad
mitted. Judge Scott in his charge in
structed the jury that In default of
justification, which plea he said had
not been advanced, and there being
little evidence of the abuse alleged as
an excuse, except the prisoner's own
testimony, they should properly find a
verdict of murder in the first degree.
Outbreak at Mexican Mine Quelled.
The situation in the copper mines
at Cananea, Mexico, Is normal. Tho
American volunteers who went across
the line at Naco, with Governor Ysabel
of Souora on Saturday morning, re
turned to Bisbec Sunday morning.
Their services wi. re no longer needed,
although their presence there during
Saturday before the arrival of Colonel
Kosterlisky with Mexican rutales held
tho situation In check.
The town Is now under martial law,
and Colonel Kosterlisky is disarming
Americans and Mexicans alike. A tel
ephono message says no shots havi
been fired since Saturday afternoon a'
C o'clock. Colonel Kostcrllsky and
Governor Ysabel, assisted by Genera
Torres, are on the ground and Colono
Greene, chief owner of the Cananet
copper mine, makes the statement thai
the trouble is over.

ber killed in the two days fighting li

Death of Michael Davitt.
A notable career closed Wednes
day night last when, after a long
and painful Illness, Michael Davitt
died peacefully and painlessly at 12
o'clock, In the presence of his eldest
son, Michael, and his two daughters
who had devotedly attended him
through his illness, and of many oi
his most intimate friends, including
John Dillon.
Death was due to blood poisoning
which followed two operations foi
necrosis of the jaw bone and spread
bo rapidly that all efforts to stay lu
course were unavailing. Mr. Davitt's
illness began with an insidious attack
of toothache, to which he paid no atten
tion until John Dillon urged him to
have recourse to medical advice.

REYNOLDS-NEIL REPORT
Of Their Investigation of Pack
ing Houses.
Unsanitary Conditions Revealed Ir
Chicago Slaughter Houses Presi
dent Recommends Passage of Bev
eridge Amendment Providing For
Inspection of Domestic Meats.
Washington, June 5. President
Roosevelt yesterday sent to congress
with an accompanying message the
report of James Bronson Reynolds
and Charles P. Nelll of their investiga
tion of the conditions of the slaughter
houses and meat packing plants at tho
Chicago stockyards.
The president's message in part Is as
follows:
The report shows that the stock
yards and packing houses are not kept
even reasonably clean, and that the
method of handling and preparing food
products is uncleanly and dangerous
to health.
Under existing law the national gdv
ernment has no power to enforce in
spection of the many forms of pre
pared meat food products that are
dally going from the packing houses
into interstate commerce. Owing to
an inadequate appropriation the de
partment of agriculture is not even
able to place Inspectors in all estab
lishments desiring them.
The present law prohibits the ship
ment of uninspected meat to foreign
countries hut there is no provislan
forbidding the shipment of uninspect
ed meats In interstate commerce, and
thus the avenues of interstate com
merce are left open to traffic in dis
eased or spoiled meats.
If, as has been alleged on seemingly
good authority further evils exist, such
as the Improper use of chemicals and
dyes, the government lacks power to
remedy them. A law Is needed which
will enable the inspectors of the gen
eral government to Inspect and super
vise from the hoof to the can the
preparation of the meat food product.
Greatest Evil In Prepared Products.
The evil seems to be much less In
the sale of dressed carcasses than In
the sale of canned and other prepared
products; and very much less as re
gards products sent aboard than as
regard those used at home.
I call special attention to the fact
that this report is preliminary, and
that the Investigation Is still unfinish
ed. It is not yet possible to report on
the alleged abuses In the use of delet
erious chemical compounds In connec
tion with canning and preserving meat
products, nor on the alleged doctoring
in this fashion of tainted meat and of
products returned to the packers as
having grown unsalable or unusable
from age or from other reasons. Grave
allegations are made In reference to
abuses of this nature.
Let me repeat that under the pres
ent law there Is practically no method
of stopping these abuses if they should
be discovered to exist. Legislation
is needed In order to prevent the pos
sibility of all abuses In the future. If
no legislation Is passed, then the ex
cellent results accomplished by the
work of this special committee will en
dure only so long as the memory of
the committee's work Is fresh, and a
recrmlesence of the abuses Is abso
lutely certain.
The report of the investigators is in
part as follows:
- As directed by you, we investigated
the conditions in the principal estab
lishments in Chicago engaged in the
slaughter of caltle, sheep and hogs
and in tho pieparatlon of dressed
meat and meat food products. Two
and a half weeks were spent In the
investigation In Chicago, and during
this time we went through the princi
pal packing houses In the stockyards
district together with a few of the
smaller ones. A day was spent by Mr.
Reynolds in New York city In the in
vestigation of several of the leading
slaughtering houses.
Indifference to Cleanliness.
Nothing shows more strikingly tho
general indifference to matters of
cleanliness and sauiintlon than do the
privies for both men and women. The
prevailing type Is mado by cutting off
a section of the workroom by a thin
wooden partition rising to within a
few feet of tho celling. These privies
usually ventilate Into tho workroom,
though a few nre found with a window
opening into tho outer air. Many are
oeated in (he Inside corners of the
workrooms, and thus have no out
side opening whatever.
The condition that affects the most
directly and seriously the cleanliness
of the food products is the frequent
absence of any lavatory provisions In
the privies. Washing sinks are either
not furnished at all or arc small and
dirty. Neither are towels, soap or
toilet paper provided. Men and wo
men return directly from theve places
to plunge their unwashed hands into
the meat to be converted Into such
fond products as sausages, dried beef
and other compounds.
Some of the privies nre situated at
a long dlstanco from the workrooms,
and men relieve themselves on the
killing floors or In a corner of the
workrooms. Hence, income rases the
fumes of the urine swell the sum of
nauseating odors arising from the
dirty-bloo'd-soalied, rotting wooden
floors, fruitful culture beds for the
disease germs of men and animals.
A particularly glaring Instance of
uncleanliuess was found lu a room
where the host giado of sausige was
being prepared for export. It was
mado from carefully selected meats,
and was being prepared to bo eatet
uncooked. In this case tho employe
carted tho chopped-up meat across 8
room In a barrow, the handles of which
wore filthy with grease.
The meat was then thrown out upot
tables, and the employe climbed upon
tho table, handled the meat with nn
washed hands, knelt with his dirtj
apron and trousers in contact with the
meat ho was spreading out, and, nftei
he had finished his operation, again
took hold of the dirty handles of the
wheelbarrow, went hack for anothei
load, and repeated this process indefi
nitely. Inquiry developed the fact that there
was no water In this room at all, and
the only method the man adopted fot
cleaning his hands was to nil) them
against his dirty apron or on his still
filthier trousers.
As an extreme example of the en
tire disregard on the part of employes
of any notion of cleanliness In hand
ling dressed meat, we saw a hog that
had Just been killed, cleaned, washed
and started on Its way to the cooling
room fall from the sliding rail to a
dirty wooden floor and slide part way
Into a filthy men's privy. It was
picked up by, two employes, placed
upon a truck, carried Into the cooHr.?
room and hung up with other carcas
ses, no effort being made to clean it.
Impressive Contrast In New York.
In impressive contrast to the condi
tions that we saw In tho stockyards ol
Chicago Is an establishment that Mr
Reynolds visited In New York city
It well merits a description in those
particulars In which it is vastly su
perior to similar concerns in Chicago.
The two upper floors used for cattle
pens are paved with well-laid bricks
and cement, with side walls of brick
the top floor being covered to protect
the cattle from the weather.
Tho killing floor Is paved with blue
stone, sloping toward well arranged
drains, and has a large air shaft fot
special ventilation and abundant win
dows. The ceiling and upper side
walls are of hard cement, with steel
crossbeams and cement-faced steel
supports. The lower side walls are
covered with white porcelain brick.
When the slaughtering of each day
Is finished, water Is turned on, and In
not more than 15 minutes the room Is
go thoroughly cleansed that all per
ceptible odors and traces of the work
are removed.
BALKS OPERATION TO GET GEM
Omaha Prosecutor Refuses to Let Mae
Thomas Leave Jail.
Omaha, June 5. Mae Thomas and
the diamond she swallowed have not
been parted. The woman Is still In
Jail and County Attorney Slabaugh an
nounced that he Intended to place her
on trial this week for larceny. The
intended operation was not performed,
for the reason that the county attor
ney would not permit his prisoner to
be taken from the jail.
Dr. Henry, who was to conduct the
operation, called at the Jail and be
gan to discuss arrangements with the
prisoner, who declared herself ready.
It was then that an unexpected snag
was struck, Deputy County Attorney
Fitch, In the absence from the city of
his chief, refused to sign an order foi
the woman's removal to the hospital,
although on Saturday he had acqui
esced in the negotiations between Jew
eler Combs, who longed to recover his
gem, and the woman, who was equal
ly anxious to go to her baby, reported
in In Texas. Later County Attorney
Slabaugh returned and declined to
permit tho woman to leave the jail.
Friends of the woman Intend to
make a further effort to have the
prosecution dropped In order that the
surgeons may attempt th"e recovery of
the jewel.

GOT CARNEGIE MEDAL.
And the $1,200 Will Pay Mortgage on
His Home,
Wilkes-Barre, June 5. William Wat
kins, a young mine worker of Edwards
ville, near here. Is the first anthracite
miner to receive a Carnegie medal foi
heroism and $1,200 from the here
fund. This is In recognition of his
act of heroism on Sept. 3, 1904, when
he saved the lives of three men at thy
imminent risk of death. He waa
greatly surprised by the news that
the medal was to be given him.
There had been an explosion in the
No. 4 colliery of the Kingston Coal
company. As the workers rushed out
of the mine Watkins realized that
three men, who were at the bottom ol
,the slope where the explosion oc
curred, might be alive. He turnt
back aud calling to his comradoj tc
stand by to help he rushed down the
elope.
"The explosion had knocked out the
props," he nald, "and the roof was
falling. The black damp was gather
ing and I knew I had to work quick.
Brinley Davis was burned had, so was
Joe Winchent, while Reese Williams
was caught under a car which had
been blown on top of him. I could
not pull him out. The only way was
to lift the car. I tried three times be
fore I could get It up a bit and he
managed to wriggle out. Davis and
Winchent were wild crazy. They all
recovered and are working In the
mines now."
C. T. Mathews of. 93 Water street.
New York city, a wealthy Welshman
who takes a great Interest in his coun
trymen, heard of Watkins' heroism
through friends and was so Impressed
that he gave Watkins a handsome gold
medal himself nnd later brought the
case to the notice of the Carnegie
Hero Fund commission.
The $1,200 which Watkins will gel
will just pay off the mortgage on his
house.
