fixed for the inquest, hat there was a post
ponement on the statement that Dr. J. C.
lllddle, of tho Miners' hospital, could not
attend. It now appears that the real
cause of tho postponement was a new dis
covery. The authorities have learned that
robbery may bo coupled with the murder.
The first theory was that Michael Herlovk,
tho roan In custody, and who worked with
tho victim, was jealous of Nichols because
the latter held a inferior position at the col
liery. This theory Is about abandoned by
the discovery that Nichols was a very saving
man and had accumulated abont $1,000
In cash. This money, it Is said, h
carried In a belt on his person and
when at work he was accustomed to hide
the belt in the boiler bouse. When Nichols
was found his person was searched fur the

Thirty dead Filipinos wero counted
In the brush, and thore wero many
more wounded. Tho gunboats Concord
and Callao kept up an Incessant Are
from the bay, the Concord dropping
many shells in the town with tolling
effect. In order to avoid accidents
from this source General Otis wns com
pelled to recall the Kansas battalion
after burning tho outskirts of the town.
Either tho shells of tho American war
ships or the natives themselves fired
a number of buildings within the town
limits. Presumably this was the result
ot the shelling. No further attempt
to attack during the night was made
by either side.
