AUGUSTUS B. COSTIGAN
CAUSES SENSATION BY
HIS SUDDEN MARRIAGE
FARMER PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND last night settled all doubts as to his third-term aspirations when, in a speech in New York, at a meeting in the interest of Booker Washington's Tuskegee Institute in Alabama
A ] 1C made a palpable bid for Southern support by declaring for white supremacy over the negro. Mr. Cleveland said that neither the emancipation proclamation nor the decree conferring citizenship upon the 'colored man had re
moved his slavery-bred shortcomings. The Southern whites, he added, in regarding their peace and prosperity and even the safety of their civilization as interwoven with the negro problem, were entitled to consideration and sympathy.

Secretary Root to-day directed that a
formal Inquiry be addressed- to General
Baldwin, asking whether or not he had
been correctly quoted. Pending a reply,
no action will be taken by the depart
ment. Of course, if General Baldwin can
repudiate the interview and sentiments,
nothing further will be said about it, but
If he should avow the Interview, he will
get a much more severe rebuke than that
which was administered to General
Funston, when he returned from the
Philippines full of red hot views about a
year ago.
It was pointed out to-day that no state
ment could possibly have been made by
an ofllcer of the army or an official of
the Government which could have caused
more embarrassment to the administra
tion, either in the insular possessions ot
the United States or in Cuba, where wo
are seeking to make friends with the na
tives and devoting much time and labur
to bringing about amicable relations.

W., WASHINGTON, April 14.— Cold chills
and hot spasms alternated in the spine of
the administration to-day because of the
Denver interview with Brigadier General
Frank D. Baldwin, the new commander
of the Department of Colorado. General
Baldwin has just returned from tho
Philippines and It was in discussing the
Philippine question that he gave utterance
to a sentiment for which he undoubtedly
will be called upon for an explanation.
General Baldwin is quoted as having said:
"One of my reason* for liking the Fili
pino as a soldier Is the. same that glv«>«
me preference for the negro In the sam««
capacity. In a fight I am not worried
about his safety, as it does not make any
difference whether he gets killed or not."
In "explanation" of this General Bald
win said: "There is nothing more to it.
If a person owned a thoroughbred or fu!l
blooded dos and also a cur, is It not nat
ural that he would prefer to have the cur
killed before the other?"
The general added that tho future of
the Islands depended on the Introduction
of Chinese labor, as the whites were in
capable of doing anything by themselves
and the natives were too lazy.
Anderson read the inscription which es
tablished the Identity of the owner of the
ornament. It reads: "To Mathilda, from
Papa and Mama Youngquist, 1885." An
derson and the girl will go to Sweden.
Anderson to-day met the girl with a
band of Crees. She told him she had been
carried away by the Indians after her
father and mother had been killed and
that since then she had been with the In
dians, and was the widow of a member
of the band, who was killed in a snow
slide several weeks ago. She remembered
nothing of her parents, she said, except
that they were white, like Anderson.
All she had left to remember them by
was a little gold ring. There was an in
scription on the Inside of this ring, but
as she could not read she did not know
what it was. ' •
When John Anderson, a relative, ap
peared in ( thts part of Montana a year
ago and made inquiries for a family
named Youngqulst no one could aid him.
Finally he met an old resident who re
membered that, many years ago, Frank
Youngqulst had tried to operate a ranch
in the extreme northern part of tho State,
near what is now the Blackf oot reserva
tion. One day the ranch was raided by
Cree Indians, who killed Mr. and Mrs.
Youngquist and carried away their little
baby grrl; Mathilda, then « years of age.
KALISELL., Mont.. April 14.— Mathilda
Youngquist, long thought to be dead,
heiress to a large estate In Stockholm,
Sweden, has befn found living among
Cree Indians, a member of the tribe. A
gold ring given to her by her father and
mother, who were killed In a raid by the
Crees many years ago, has established
her identity.

proved to be via the Santa Fe route, for
when the east-bound overland pulled Into
Daggctt last night Dr. .McFarland and
Maude Lcfurge climbed upon the dark
sioe of the tra.'n and were soon borne
away to the eastward.
.Lefurge missed his Daughter soon after

the! peace officer at that place took the
doctor into custody hs soon as the train
pulled, in. They were on their way to

be married, and - to say that they were

After a short stay at that place they will

"If you believe that any one has given

Judge Holt had prepared . a written
charge, the reading of which caused a
sensation. He said in part:
SAN JUAN, P. R-, April 11— The grand
jury is investigating the smuggling eases
in which officers of the United States
navy and other prominent men are in
volved, notwithstanding the instructions
which, it is said. District Attorney Pet
tingill has received from the Department
of Justice in Washington not to present
information to the srand jury at this
term. The press and the natives have
practically • demanded an Investigation,
inasmuch as during the last term a na
tive merchant named Ricardo Armendo
was sentenced to a year's conltncment In
the penitentiary and a fine of $100 for
having contraband liquor in his posses
sion. This afternoon the grand Jury came
inio court and a;kcd for Information. The
foreman said:

Defies Remarkable In
structions From
PORTO RICO GRAND
JURY REFUSES TO
SHIELD OFFENDERS
While the fight continued and after the
shot had been fired the robber, dlsplay
ing-"remarkable nerve, slipped his hand
Into his victim's pocket and took out three
silver dollars, which he held on to until
Orrin G. Immons, employed in an auto
mobile establishment on Larkin street and
residing at 219 Hyde street, hastened to
the spot and gave his assistance to the
wounded man.
Immons was trying to wrench the pistol
from the robber's grasp when Officers
Keohane and Slattery, attracted by the
report of the pistol, ran to the scene.
Keohane arrived first and about the time
Gilkfccc, overcome with weakness and
pain, sank to the sidewalk, but still
clinging to the man who had shot him.
As the policeman approached Milton
sought to escape. He tried to shako off
the clutch of the saloonman, and found
no opportunity to again use his plstoi,
being prevented bv Immons.
Keohane and the robber came together.
Gilleece. now lying gasping on the sldc
*walk, begged them to arrest his assail
ant and excitedly accused him of tho
crime. Milton placed the pistol against
tho .officer's breast and pulled the trigger,
but the cartridge failed to explode, and
tho desperate man fought with renewed
efforts to gain his freedom.
After several moments of struggling
the highwayman lay. alongside his victim,
manacled, and the ambulance and the pa
trol wagon . were' called. Gilleece was
found, at the Central Emergency, HoBpI
tal, to be seriously wounded and may not
survive the shock, owing to his age. At
the prison skeleton keys, counterfeit
money and a "jlmmle" were found in the
possession of the robber.
Tho jimmy had the appearance of hav
ing been recently used and the police
think that Milton had committed a bur
glary buf'a short .time before he held
Gilleece ; up. He, js an opium fiend and
well known at police headquarters. At
the prison he feigned drunkenness and
refused to talk of the crime.
Finally the highwayman shook off the
other's hold on the'pistol and fired. The
bullet struck Gilleece In the right leg,
above the knee, and shattered the bone.
The injured man struggled on, never los
ing his grasp on his assailant and keep
ing up his shrieks for help.
SHOOTS HIS VICTIM.
• The saloonman grappled with the crim
inal and the two locked In a struggle for
life or death. Gilleece had been brought
to a sudden realization of his plight ar.d
fought with all the strength he had. The
footpad fought back with beastltke feroc
ity. Several times did the thug try to
kill, but each time Gilleece turned the
revolver aside or held It above his head.
Then the victim shouted for "help, but
few heard him, and he battled for mo
ments that seemed hours with no hope
of assistance.
A he.avy-sct man, wearing a sl*ueh hat,
stepped out of an alley. .He displayed a.
revolver and lost no time In giving his
command:
"Hftnds up and give me what money
you have." -
For a moment Gilleece was startled.
Ho looked at the highwayman and hesi
tated. It did not dawn on him that the
order was imperative and he did not real
ize what part the loaded revolver might
play in the affair. At length Jie conclud
ed it was all a joke perpetrated by some
friends and resolved to treat It as such.
Then Gilleece, confronted by a desper
ate man, to whom human life was worth
scarcely more than a sang, laughed in
the muzzle of the revolver that was beld
close to his face. With a jocose remark
he attempted to pass on his way and
outwit the supposed tricksters, but the
highwayman meant business and the
laugh to him was the signal for an at
tack. Blow after blow he rained on the
old man's head with the barrel of the
weapon.
THOUGHT IT A JOKE.
When Gilleece reached Eleventh street
he turned toward Mission. It was quite
dark there.
An old-time footpad, advanced in years
and hoary in crime, added a desperate
deed to his career early this morning,
was captured and taken to prison. In an
effort to rob a saloon man whom he had
followed from his place of business he
used a pistol with telling effect, shooting
his victim and later attempting to murder
a police officer who assisted in hia- tak
ing. It was only after a desperate battle
that he was disarmed and manacled and
his name, Henry E. Milton, placed on the
prison register.
After the business of the evening had
ceased James Gilleece, a saloonkeeper,
60 years of age, whose place of business
is at 31 Ninth street, closed hia doors and
started for his home at 16 Eleventh street.
Before his doors were barred GUlecce ob
served a stranger watching the place, but
the latter's actions were not of a sort
to arouse* suspicion and the liquor man
thought no more of the matter and went
on his way as he was accustomed to do.
