Miss Llllle Templeton. aged SB years, who lived with her widowed mother and several brothers and sisters at 100 St. Mark avsnue. Brooklyn, died on (Saturday as the result of an overdose of a cough mixture. Bhe had been suffering from a slight cold alt through th winter, but had not been under the oars of a physician. On Friday night she went with her sister to an entertainment at the Ilaplltt Tem pt e and It was nearly 11 o'clook when they re turned, Llllle complained of her throat and her sister suggested the cough mixture. This had been In the house for some time, baring been put up at a drng store tn the neighbor hood from a prescription furnished by a friend of the family. Miss lempleton took a large dose of the drug before retiring. About 7 o'clock the next morning she waa found un conscious In bed by bsr sister and bleeding from the mouth and nose. Efforts by tjvo Physicians to revive her by artificial resplra. tlou and other means failed and ehe died within a few hours. In nls certificate Dr. W. It. D. Pratt eays that death resulted from the tlnoture of laudanum In the cough mixture. The mixture contained equal parte of lauaanum. spirits of camphor, peppermint, and balsam. Dr. I'ratt eaye It wae a mixture euon as nonhyslolan would prescribe. A person, he adds, taking tbe mixture would be liable tn hare the memory dulled, and thus be In danger of repeating tho doses within a short time. Coroner Coombs has been notified, but haa not considered It necessary to hold an au tousy. He will direct his attention, bowerer. to the couth mixture. Miss Templeton was fond of outdoor exercise and Indnlged moderately In bicycling. Hhe was a daughter of the late James A. Templeton. For more than n year the Templeton family have been using the mixture. It was made up at the ltolton drug store In Flatbuih and Bu Mark's avenues. 'A few months ago Miss Tem Pletou herself called and asked for an unusually large quantity of the mixture. On that occa sion the manager of the store directed her at tention tn the laudanum Ingredient In the mix turr. and Impressed upon her tbe necessity of care In Its use. hhe answered: "Ob. we have all been using It, and It Is the greatest thing on earth." It was said that the original prescription wss written out by a woman, and given as a special favor to Mrs. Templeton. A regular doee was 10 drops, but Miss Templeton le supposed to have taken 48 drops at snort Intervale on Fri day night. JUS DIXSER IS J'l.AlT'3 JlONOlt.

In the province of Havana the war has assumed the matt barbarous char acter since Weyler gave his last orders to lay watte the untlre country. Around the town of Olunos the Spaniards have destroyed every thing. Nothing can stay their Inhuman work, and the property of either friend or fue Is re duced to asbe. Many foreigners have vainly proUtted. When the protest of a foreigner Is brought to Weyler or. In his absence, to bis sec retary, tho Marquis of Palmerota, the answer Invariably 1st "Let foreigners present their claims through the diplomatic channels." In the city of Havana the persecution of women continues. Senorlta Kocarlo Slgarroa, a distinguished young womau, has received orders to leave the Island within a week, under pain of Imprisonment. The police searched her house for political documents from the New York Junta. Nothing was found, but the above order w as served upon bsr. It came from Bailor Porrua, the Governor of Havana. Another Cuban lady, Emilia Cordova, has retelred a simitar order of banishment. Clemencla Arango, sister of tue Cuban CoL Raoul Arango, was the victim of still more cruel treatment. Yesterday It was reported In the city that she had been arrested and taken to the house where Immoral women are con fined, but the report was not true. What hap pened was that the police, searching her rooms for letters from her brother, treated her so roughly as to arouse the Indignation of all the neighbors. She Is a friend of Consul General Lee and his family, and Is highly ssteemrd by all the best Havana society. As she Is an orphan, and her brother Is serving his country's cause In the war, frlendt will take care to send her safely to the United States. An editor of the Dlarlo uV la Marina, which Is the official organ of tbe Navy Department at Havana, was summoned to the palace of Ad miral Navarro as soon as the news was clrcu. lated of the deetructlon of tbe Spanish gunboat Comsta by the Insurgents near Cdyamoe, Ma tanzas. The editor received orders to deny the news, and, accordingly, the following lines appear In to-day's evening edition of that news paper: "The splendid gunboat Comela Is doing her duty on the coast of Cuba. She has not been destroyed by tbe Insurgents. The press of New York haa again beeu deceived by the ties of tbe Cuban secret sympathizers, who, by way of Key West, send to the United States all kinds of false reports," La Lucha publishes the ssme denial as official, which relieves It of any responsibility tn case the authorities are In the wrong. How ever, the Cobanshere hare ratified tho news. It came tn Havana through a trustworthy Cuban agent. Tbat tbe town of Cayamos, where the gunboat Is said to hare been blown up, surrendered to the Insurgents and was destroyed Is bsyond any question. If the Spaniards stilt Insist that the gunboat was not destroyed 1st them produce her. Thla would apparently be more difficult for them to do than to produce the body of Maeeo. Tbe principal fact tbat haa confirmed the report of the death of the Cuban leader Is that there hare been no evidences of bis exist ence stnoe the engagement at Punta Brava. In tbe same way the fate of the Comet will be confirmed If she was destroyed. Admiral Navarro waa so angry over the news that he said yesterday t " I will order the Cometa to enter Havana harbor with all her flags flying and salnte Morro Castle with twenty shots." Time will show whether Admiral Navarro Is playing a game of bluff. In Brujo, Pinar del Rio province, a hot en gagement lasting four hours was fonghton Friday, In which the Cubans nnmbered more than 2,000 men. In Bagua another engagement of Importance has occurred. In which the Spanish Captain Carreras suffered heavy losses and the Cubans lost three well-known leaders, Estaollaa. Joso Roque, and Pedro Nodarse. Near Victoria de las Tones another encounter Is reported between Csllxto Garcia and the Spaniards, In which a Cuban victory Is beyond ' any doubt. The Spaniards confess to eighty seven killed, which la an extraordinary admit, slon In an official report. Artillery was used on both sides, and It Is said that Garola also em ployed explosives. News of famine comes from Caynjabos, In Plnar del Bio. Eighty families were brought to that town nearly dead from starvation. Around Havana, and even In the poor char ters of tbe city, famine Is spreading also, ana It the destruction of all the country continues, as Weyler Intends, the misery of the once rich cspltal of Cuba will attract the attention of the world. Theepldemloof smallpox Is augment ing. The cases number .1,200 to-day. HPANIAUDB l'l.BAH IOXOItA.CB. They llade't Heard That Thej'va Leas Another Sstboal-Hard riatillasr. Havana, Jan. 24. The marine authorities here Ignore the Cometa affair. The military authorities profess to know nothing of the mat ter. From other than official sources It Is learned, however, tbat the reports tbat have already reached the Untied States concerning tbe loss of tbe gunboat are probably correct. The official reports Issued to-day give the details of a number of engagements between Government forces and Insurgents In the prov inces of Santa Clara, Havana, Matantas, and Plnar del Rio. According to these reports the troops were uniformly victorious. The Insur gent losses In the various engagements aro placed at thirty-seven killed, a large number wounded, and two captured. The Insurgent camps, prefeoturas, and over 100 hats were dettroyed. Many families wno had taken refuge In the woods vero found by tho troops and taken Into the towns. The Spaniards say their lottet were four killed, and a Lieutenant-Colonel, three Cap tains, three Lieutenants, and sixty-one privates more ur less severely wounded. Notwithstanding tho recent reports of the "pacification" of Plnar del Rio, the official re. ports show that the greater number nf the en- fakement referred to took place In that prov nee, which Is pretty gmt evidence that the Insurgents are still conducting their operations there. The most Important nf tbe several fights tnnk fines near Guinea, province of Havana, where he troops met Insurgent bands led by Castillo and Uelgodo. JlKSOItM J'K CUIIA.

Mrs. Sarah Oavln Is caretaker of tbe two houses at 30 and 32 East Twenty-first street, and lives tn the bassmsnt of No. 32, both houses being vacant. She was at work on Saturday In her kitchen when she heard a nolte In the next bouts. Not fifteen minutes before she had looked It up after seeing that everything was In order, and now there were footsteps and also sounds of runutng water. Bhe did not stop to wonder what It was, but went to see. In the next house she found a man hard at work cut ting the water pipes In the cellar. The water was gushing out of the cut pipes and rapidly flooding tho place. Mrs. Oavln placed her hands on her hips and looked at the man. He glanced once In her direction and then proceeded with his work. " It's a nloe Job you're making of It," said Mrs, Gavin. "Yes, I gnets It will be," said tbe man, cutting another pi je. "And who are you, If I may ask ?" Questioned Mrs. Oavln. , "A plumber."antwered the man tersely. "Welt, they be plumbers and plumbers, but you'ro the worst I ever saw," remarked Mrs. Gavin. " Who sent) ou?" The plumber shifted his quid to his other cheek. Jerked oat another section of lead pipe, spat on th" floor nnd got a plank lo stand on be cause hi- feet were getting wet. "McLaughlin, the plumber. In 126th street, ssnt me u remove the pipes," he finally an swered. "Oh, he did. did bo!" said Mrs. Oavln. "And how did you get In 1" She took a couple of steps toward him and be retreated three stops, there by stepping off bis plank Into the water, which was cow nearly an Inch deep. " I rang the bell and no one answered, and, as tbe door was open, I walked In," he answered. Mrs. Gavin's eyes sparkled with righteous wrath. She started for him, nnd. laying a heavy band on his collar. Jerked him oft his fret. " You're a thief," said she. " and a lying thief at that," and each word she emphasized by slashing him around In tbe water. After she had reduced him to the condition of a wet rut sbe began calling "Pol Ice I" and dragged him out Into the areaway. A pollorman came alone and took him to I he station, where he described himself as Waller Lewis, 02 years old, no ad dress.

In tbe debate wblch followed Mr, Bocb, also a Vlce-Pretldentof tbe Medloo-Legal Society, re peated statements on the subject previously made by him ln publto and positively asserted that he himself knew of two cases where pa tients had been killed. One case was whero a child was dying of membraneous croup, and the father, with the permission nf the attending phtalclan. administered an opiate which ended the Utile one's sufferings. The other rase was that of a child born with certain organs miss ing, and where death would have ensued from mortification In a short tlmo.

She hnd crossed the ocean 280 timet, and It It said had never missed a trip on the Lucanla since that vossel was In service. For thirty yoars Mrs. Carton has been travelling acrots the Atlantic on the Cunard line. Mrs. Carton was the wife of Samuel Carson of Belfast. Her name was Newell before her mar riage, and her brother, William B, Newell, was a millionaire of Nashville, Tenn. Bhortly after tliodijithof her husband In 1804, Mrs. Carton, accompanied by her daughter Elizabeth, came to America to visit her brother. This was Mrs. Carson's first ocean trip and was the beginning of her Infatuation for the sea. Mr. Nowelt prevailed upon her to remain lu America and on his deathbed bequeathed to her a half million dollars. This Inheritance gave Mrs. Carson ample means to permit the Indulgence of her ecoentrlo deslro to be continually on tbe water. It was ln the year 180(1 that Mrs. Canon was first at liberty to follow her penchant. She left her young daughter tn the hands of friends and took her second trip to Belfast. She returned In a few weeks, saw that her child was In safe hand, and from that time on until alio was seized with her last Illness a month seldom passed In which she did not take a voy age across the Atlantic. In the year 1883 Mrs, Carson's daughter was married tu Julius Ilohrbach, a travelling man of Chicago. Mrs. Carson then fett tbat she had no more family ties which would restrain her from keeping continually on the eea. Since 1880 her entire time has been spent In her voyages. Mrs. Carson had a strong affection for (.'apt. McKay and all tho officers of the l.uranla, and remembered them In ber will. It la said that C'apu McKay will receive 550.000, and the subalterns sums proportionate to the esteem In whloh she held them. The ex act terms nf the will, however, cannot be learned, as the document was filed at Belfast. Mrs. Larson was well known In Chicago. About two years ago her sondn-law, Julius Ilohrbach, by tho advico of his wife, made an effort to restrain Mrs. Carson from taking any more trips across the ocean. While sbe waa stopping atthe hotel hero on a visit to her daughter Mr. Ilohrbach went be fore a court and asked for the appointment of a guardian, making the statement tbat Mrs. Carsun hail alreuds spent $.ioU,000 in her sea voyages and that unless a stop was put to It her entire fortune would be spent. Mrs. Carson violently fought this legal move, bhe announced that alio would submit to no restraint, and that If her son-in-law dared to Interfere with her liberty she would cut him off without a cent. This so alarmed Mr. Ilohrbach and his wife that the proceedings were dropped and Mrs. Carson was permitted to re sume her Journeilngs. The Inoldent. how ever, had made an Impression on her mind, for on her next vise to Belfast she made and had placed nn record a will In which sbe gave only S 1.000 lo her daughter, I2A.O0O to her banker al Belfast, and 126,000 to her agent III Jsow York cltr, and tbe remainder of hrr fortune to tho officers and crew of the Lucanla. Mrs, Carton mado her last voyage across tbe Atlantic live weeks ago. On the trip out from Liverpool she was seized with pneumonia, and when the steamer reached New York she was falling rapidly, bhe was taken to a hotel woere she remained two days, wheu her daughter, Mrs. Rnbrbacbof Anamosa, la., arrived and took her West. Mr. and Mrs. Ruhrbaoh arrived this evening from. Iowa, with Mrs. Carson's body. They wore on their war to Nashville, Tenn where the Intermeut will lake Place.
