SICKENING SIGHTS IN FAIR CUBA Thousands Yet Starving to Death on the Island. WOMEN AND CHIL DREN PERISH. : Weyler's Plan to Exterminate Peaceable Inhabitants Is Being Carried Out. FORTY PER CENT ALREADY PERISHED. Ij^arf ul Condition That Is Described as Worse Than the Plague in India.- Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK. Nov. 6.— The World cor respondent at Havana telegraphs: Yon would sicken at the sight of thousands of women and children starving to death in .Cuba to-day. I have sickened at * the sights witnessed in the last four days — filthy skeletons dying on bare, foul boards; mothers and children driven into small towns by Spanish soldiers in ac cordance with General Weyler's inhuman policy of "concentration," to starve, help less dependents of Cuban insurgents whom Spain's 200,000 soldiers cannot kill. Within a few hours' travel of the palace at Havana these helpless women and children and non-combatants are daily perishing by hundreds from starvation, and the suffering is awful. It is worse than India's bubonic plague. The poor victims show the same awful emaciation, suffer the same pangs and 4_e by tbe hun dreds under the eyes of soldiers. I have seen mothers, too wak to stand, trying to force non-existent milk from their breasts for other tiny skeletons among the dying ones after their own young had perished. Well-informed Cubans claim that 40 per cent of the peaceable inhabitants have al ready starved to death. Deaths from starvation alone have been nearly a thou sand a day during this rainy season. Whether these figures are accurate or not, it is plain to any one that the whole rural population would be completely ex terminated in a few months if the Spanish policy were not changed. That was Gen eral Weyler's plan — "to exterminate the (breed.*' 'C* TROUBLE WITB BPAIX. There Is Absolutely -io Foundation For the i t<mor. ...WASHINGTON, Nov.

Of Course the Colonel Re turned, but the Renewed Bliss Was Not Lasting. GUSHING AFFECTION AND AN AWAKENING. Finally the Wife Refused to Support Her Husband in Expensive Politics. Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Nov. 6.— A number of inter esting letters were put in as evidence in the trial of the celebrated Myron P.Walker divorce suit at Northampton. Among the best are the following: Paris, Sept. 3, 1877. Dearie: Come to me to-night. The wind is blowing and the rain falling quite like winter, emphasizing my loneliness, ior I bade good by forever to Mr. B and I miss him and want you. I send you, through him, a cameo scarf pin cut in sardonyx — the head of Achilles. This will tell just as tru'.y of my love. Wear it every day, and give me a thought every lime you put it on or oft. The letter that was left by Mrs. Walker in the vault when she took out her securi ties was as follows: Ramsey has warned me against all exciting conversation, saying that ii mv present con dition any great excitement is dangerous and might be "fatal to me, and therefore, in order to avoid useless discussion, i take tbis way of calling your attention to the fact that I have taken my stocks, bonds and other valuable papers into my own keeping. I do so after due deliberation, believing it to be a duty I owe to myself and to my children. At your con venience I should like a memorandum ac count 01 $177,000 worth of securities which I owned in July, 1887, which are not here now. Four days later Mrs. Walker wrote to Colonel Walker as follows: You have had for a long time practical con trol of my securities and property. I think it needful and proper now that I should myself take charge " of my own property, though I Shall be glad of your advice in managing it. She speaks of a $100,000 investment, ! and adds: "I also left the deed of the ■ stable as of no use to me, although the ! property represented by it is really mine." Colonel Walker gives the explanation of the $177,000 as follows: Current expenses often explained. $45,000; for Highland Hotel at Belchertown, and losses $52,000 bonds at Mutual Life above loan, $10,000; due from, Florida Improvement Company, $4000; two Silver Springs bonds, not on v<ur book, $2000; paid Ella $1000. mother $400, during last year $1400. I have in cash, $41,400. Not accounted for in this explana ion, $21,200; total, $177,000. In this $21,200 lie my political expenses during three political campaigns ana any additional loans. Had 1 . fallen dead day before yester day my book and my checkbook would have given yon any particle of information which you now possess. Spicy bits of testimony that cropped out in substance were as follows: Practically Colonel Walker was told that he could have meals and lodgings, and companion ship, but little else. "I shall support you in politics no longer. You are young; go to work." In one of Colonel Walker's letters he said: "I have asked myself a thousand times What have I done to deserve such treatment?".*--*-' To this Mrs.'Walker replied: "Our re lations are only business ones." Alter letters of this kind Colonel Walker said he was depressed and could not look people in the face. Mrs- Walker said that Colonel Wa'ker tod her in 1879 that he had never kept one of her letters. He produced almost bush els of them. Finally, after a long time of waiting, Colonel Walker wrote and wanted to know his fate. He wanted to know if their hearts couldn't be united, but if tbat was impos sible he wanted to know his fate. Other letters brought some of the family jars, but the end came April 18, 1892, when Colonel Walker turned over an insurance policy, his wife acknowledged it and then the lawyers took charge. A deposition was read from the venera ble Mrs. Crocker of New York, in which sue said that Colonel Walker had treated her daughter and her children by a former marriage very kindly. Here is another letter: _HS__ . June, 1891—1 am willing, and gladly say let us lorglveeach other and never speak of the past again. Drop everything just where it is. Lot us never speak of all these horrible things again, Come back to me without con dition on either side. Sobered by experience, saddened by the knowledge we have gained of ourselves, let us take up the burden of life together again. Will you do this? Just come without a word. Let ns begin at once. This is the wish and entreaty of your wife. ;. • I In consequence of this letter Colonel Walker alleges that be returned and for a • time they lived together. Court adjourned until Monday morning. PONT/OS PILATE'S hEPORT. Renewed Researches in Reference to the Crucifixion Are Being Made at the Vatican. NEW YORK, Nov. 6—A World cable from Rome says: In pursuing bis in quiries respecting the alleged discovery of Pontius Pilate's report to Emperor Tiberius on the crucifixion of Christ a correspondent obtained an introduction from Cardinal Satolh to Professor Storn ainola, director of the Vatican* library. The director said : . "There has been no discovery made of any absolutely new document referring to the crucifixion. We have here docu ments purporting to be from Pilate to Tibeiius on that subject, but one is from the fourth century and the other irom the fifth, but both .undoubtedly have been apocryphal. As far as such a thing can be asserted it is certain that a judicial document did exist, as Tertullian men tions it." At thi- .; point Professor Stornainola called to him a celebrated Jesuit scholar. Father. Ehrle, author of a magnificent book on the Borgia apartment r cently presented by the Pope to President Mc- Kinley. Father : Ehrle showed to the correspondent copies of existing * docu ments and explained the technical and other grounds on which scholars voted them apocryphal. Professor Siornainola .is preparing for publication within a lew months a book on the subject, together with an account of important discoveries in the Vatican archives. - ' THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7; 1897. SLEW FIVE INDIAND IN THE FIGHT Captain Porter's Brave Battle on Tiburon Island. CANNIBALS TELL OF THE MASSACRE. Say That the White Man Suc cumbed Only to Stress of Numbers, JOHNSON KILLED AT THE * FIRST FIRE. Attack Upon the Curio-Collectors Witness -d by the Crew of a Schooner. Special Dispatch to The Call. BAN DIEGO, Nov. 6.— A1l doubt as to the fate of Captain Geprge Porter and John Johnson, of this city, is settled by the fol lowing letter, rec*ived to-day from George W. Beermaker, dated Carbo, Mexico, No vember 4: I suppose you heard of Captain Porter and his sailor. Johnson of the junk World being killed on Tiburon Island. The party bringing the information says Porter stood up and fought to the last, but Johnson fell at the first volley. Porter killed five Indians before he gave up. He fought like a lion. The Indians say he fellMn his small boat, Heeding from wounds in the head, and they thought he was dead, but he jumped, up once more and fired two shots into the band of Indiana and then fell over dead. I learn further that if Porter had had an equal or even half a chance he would have given a good account of himself, but being so completely outnumbered, and himself hav ing only a shotgun loaded with bird shot. and. the Indians having good rifles, he had no show whatever. It was a cold-blooded mas sacre. _r?fS The Mexicans have a saying, "If you go to Tiburon Island you will be killed," and they leave the island strictly alone. So I don't think anything will be done here by the Mexi can Government. The Mexican who brought the news says that the Indians told him they never saw a man fight as Porter did. He ran for the boat, firing as lie went, and brlneing down five out of 100 Indians who surrounded him. I don't believe there is any mistake about this report, as the Mexican who told me these things had the names of the men and the boat in his memorandum-book. I hope there might be some error in this, but I am afraid the boys are gone. A letter was also received from Consul F. M. Crocker of Guaymas, transmitting the following report written by Martin Mendez, cap am of the schooner Otila: . As we encountered bad weather and found we had to run for it we returned to the island of Tiburon. anchoring in the lower end of the Boca del Infernillo (mouth of the Little Hell, the strait separating the island from the mainland), where we were favored by the wind. " It was about 11 a. m. when there appeared a canoe rowed by two Indians, who fled imme diately when they saw us. We, to satisfy our selves as to who they were, sent out a canoe, manned by the mate, Merced Valenzuela, and four sailors, who followed the Indians about four miles. At the same time that we made sure they were Indians, we noted a vessel of two masts, which was inside the strait, and as Valenzuela believed it was Francisco Boullcs' vessel, he drew near it until he discovered that it was an American vessel that had been in Guaymas, whose owners, certain Americans, were in search of bird feathers. At tbat place the Indians opened up fire so fierce that our boat was forced to retire, coming back to the vessel and firing as they came. The American vessel was surrounded by about 200 Indians, who were seen by our men to betaking objects from the schooner, but as we could not give help to the Ameri cans on account of the great numbers of the Indians, and believing them to be assassin ated I resolved to return to give the first authority 1 might encounter in this place an account ot the affair. - METHOD IN EMPEROR WILLIAM'S MADNESS Regarded as Perfectly Sane by the Feople Who Agree With Him. Behavior of the Present Kaiser Made More Strange Than That cf His Predecessors. Special Dispatch to The Cam.. NEW YORK, Nov. 6.— A World cable from London says: The rumor tbat the German Emperor is going "out of his bead" finds strange currency in Europe, but is only believed by those who cannot otherwise explain some of his latter ut- 5 erances. Among the people who agree with him 'he is regar<l»d as perfectly sane, tor among the official and court party of Prussia Parliament is regarded as an abomination, and the law of the land is respected only in so far as it emanates from the divine will of the monarch. At the Berlin court people are regarded as insane for believing in popu lar government. ' \ . What makes the present Emperor's be havior more strange than that of his predecessors is that he has the courage of his convictions, and says frankly what such men as Frederick William IV only hinted at vaguely. That monarch, fifty years ago, was so much frightened by Berlin Liberals that he turned Liberal for a 'short time, and his brother, the late Emperor William, concealed himselt in London for fear of personal violence. The either of the two kings also ran away from his post of duty. But these am not episodes of history which are officially taught in German schools. -■.-.'.-«*-*■■,.-•■' - Now; that the year of revolution is to celebrate its twentieth anniversary Ger man aristocracy shivers at the idea of possible conflict between themselves and the people..

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 6.— Two innocent children left their parents at noon to-day, and when they returned this evening there were blood stains on the hearth stone of their home. The mother lay cold in death, while the fath r, in the paroxysm of ■elf-infl cted pain, could not recognize them or give any account of the awful tragedy. He had taken the life of his wife and had then attempted to take his own. His first attempt was successful; the outcome of the second depends upon the vitality of the man, who is shot through the head. Steffan Baumann was at one time pro prietor of the William Tell House, on Ninth and J streets. Connected with this hotel was a bar, and to that may be at tributed to-day's tragedy. In his sober moments he was a kind, indulgent father; when drunk he was a fiend. / Shortly after he left the hotel he took up his residence in a block just beyond the one in which he ended the life of his wife to-day. The neighbors of that local ity can testify to the abuse he heaped upon the poor woman who now lies cold in death. Their quarrels were frequent, and he was always the aggressor. In ad dition to his ' dissipation came the disappointment of business* reverses, and it is supposed tbat to-day, in a frenzy of intoxication and despair, he slew his wife and attempted to kill himself. Attracted by pistol shots, the neighbors hastened to the Baumann home". The first sight that met th°m was Baumann staggering in his backyard, with blood streaming down his face. He entered the house, and was followed by the neighbors. Wit in they found Mrs. Baumann lying In a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. Close to her body were some cooking uten sils, which would indicate that the poor woman was preparing the evening meal for the man who took.her life. _■•.. As Baumann entered the nouse he fell from loss of blood and lay uncon scious, face downward, a few feet from his murdered wife. When the officers of the police patrol picked him up it was found that a pistol ball had entered his right temple. The pistol was found lying by his side. As an officer entered Baumann seemed for a min ute to recover consciousness, and as he did so he reached for the pistol. He seemed to suffer greatly from the wound in his head, and begged piteously tor some one to shoot bim and put him out of his mis- cry. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Banmann are a girl and a boy — Mary, aged 10, and B-njamin, aged 13. When tbe children heard of the tragedy they were overcome by grief, and Mary became hysterical. She was taken in charge by some neigh bors,' who have offered her a temporary shelter, and are doing all In their power to comfort the distracted child. Baumann is resting easily at the Receiv ing Hospital and the doctors in attend ance announce that his chances for recov ery are favorable. An effort has been made to get him to make a statement, but he refuses to say a word. i'e , Banmann's children say that when they left the bouse at noon to-day their parents bad not been quarreling.

The Idaho, . commanded by Captain William Gillies of Buffalo, and having on board a crew of twenty-one all told, left Buffalo Friday afternoon, laden with package freight for Milwaukee. A strong southwest gale was blowing at the time and the weather office had storm signals up for the lake.. Captain Gillies thought he could weather the gale and headed straight up the lake. Shortly after passing Long Point he dis covered . his mistake and tried. to run for shelter. The sea was running very high at the time, and on turning the Idaho shipped a big sea, which quenched the fires in the engines, and the boat was help less in the trough of the sea. The captain and crew were lowering the lifeboat when the steamer gave a lurch and went down on her side stern first.
