At other times she would have to submit to

solely on the evidence found under his finger
pills. They told other stories calculated to

was very necessary that she should be held at

the hope of forcing her to say something that
would Incriminate her. All this in spite of the
fact that there is as yet no complaint against

ssert that this man has not been mur

rsad the law, which forbids the detention of
sir person by the police for moro than forty
sliht hours without on examination in n pollco
court. The Assistant District Attorney made
, soother speech, asserting that Justice demandod
the woman's detention. "And tho law demands
a complaint or her discharge," said the Magis
trate, and that ended the matter. The court
took a recess while the complaint was being
drawn up.

the reporter who asked about tho case: "I have
csrerally abstained from going Into the cose, but
. from what I have learned of the way in which
the woman has been treated at Police Head
quarters I must say that I think those methods
core fitted for tho days of the inquisition than
the present. It seems to mo more important
that this woman have all the rights that are ac-
' corded to her by law than that the detectives
should be enabled to extort a confession from
It took three-quarters of an hour for tho com
plaint to be formulated, and tho document finally
turned out was a surprising one. In that it did
sot accuse the woman of murder, although it
purported to. Here it is:

It will be noticed that Mrs. Nack. an unknown

Cable Despatches from Bliss Shaw Lara-ely no
sponsible for ibo Invasion
London, July 2. The Parliamentary 8outh
African Commlttco to-day resumed Its inquiry
into the Transvaal raid. Flora Bhnw, the co
lonial editor of tho Times, was called to the
stand, and sho produced tho cablegrams that
had passed between herself nnd Cecil Ithodcs
beforo tho raid, which tho cabal in London
against Colonial Socrotary Chamberlain hod
predicted would prove so damaging as to com
pel him to resign. The revelation, however,
proved to'bo chiefly damaging to tho reputation
of the Time for ability and honesty.
The communication showed that Miss Shaw
cabled to Rhodes, then Premier of tho Cape
Colony, on Deo. 17, 1805, as follows:
"Held an interview with tbo Secretary of the
Transvaal, Dr. Leyds, who left here Saturday
for The Hague, Berlin, and Paris. Fortr his
negotiations with these parties. Chamberlnln
is sound in cose of tho interference of European
powers, but I have special reason to bellovo he
wishes you to do it immediately."
Rhodes cabled Miss Shaw on Dec. 30:
"Inform Chamberlain I shall get through all
right if he suoporta me, but ho must not send a
cablegram liko the ono ho sent to the High
Commissioner in South Africa to-day. Tho
crux is whether I will win and South Africa
will belong to England."
Miss Shaw, in answering questions put by
Sir William Horcourt, Mr. Lnbouchero, Chair
man Jackson, and others of tho committee said
she never showed tho Rhodes cablegram to Mr.
Chamberlain, nor had she any reason for say
ing that Mr. Chamberlain was "eound" or
wished Rhodes to "do it immediately." Sho
also admitted that sho novcr gu o or received
any information from Mr. Chamberlain upon
tho subject.
Chairman Jackson asked if sho did not think
her interview with Dr. Leyds had enabled the
Pretoria Government to know what was going
on, and tho witness sheepishly replied that tho
thought not. Sho admitted that oho had shown
her telegrams In tbe Time offlce. but said that
the had not shown them on tho outsido.
On Dec 10 Miss Shaw cabled Rhodes as fol
lows: "Can you advise when you will commence
yonr plans! Wo wish to bend at the earliest
opportunity sealed instructions to tbo repre
sentatives of tho London Times in tho Euro
Kan capitals. It la most Important to using
sir innuonco in your favor."
Miss Shaw admitted mat one cud. in raot,
send Instructions to the Timet agents abroad
so as to defend the raid, foreseeing that tho
European Governments were likely to object
and Intervene."
To-day's testimony ebowt that tbe Time
was not only implicated in but largely an
swerable for the forco of tho raid, as well as for
grossly misleading Rhodes.
Chairman Jackson announced that Dr. Har
ris, ex-Secretary of tho Chartered Company,
was abroad, and the commlttco had been un
able to bring him to tell about tho tciograms
between the company and Rhodes. The com
mittee then adjourned until Tuesday.
To-day's sop to the public Indignation does
not come anywhere near clearing up tho mys
tery. Nobody knows how many moro cable
grams aro In hiding or bow sensational are
their contents.

His WIIVs Story or Bis Illicit love Affair.
Charles Ferdinand HerviS.adealor In paintings
and works of art, shot and perhaps fatally
wounded Roslna Drolot in the hall at 371 West
114th stroot yesterday morning about 10 o'clock.
Immediately after shooting the woman Hervd
put tho platol to his own hoad and fired a shot
of tho off octs of which ho died In a f ow minutes.
Ilorvd waa a natlvo of Marseilles, Franco, He
camo to this country during the first year
of the civil war and enlisted in the com
pany of a New York regiment of which
Deputy Chief of Police Cortright was
Captain. He served all through the war
as a private, and, at Its close, was honorably dis
charged. Then he returned to this city and,
nf tor learning the ways of Wall street in tho
offlco of tho iato August Belmont, ho became a
banker and broker on his own account. In Wall
street ho lost a raodcrato fortune which he had
Inherited from his father.
Having always had a fondness for art, and
having boon an art student for n tlmo In Paris.
Hervo drifted into buying and selling pictures
and doallng In brloa-brao. Until two yoars ago,
ho had for somo timo an offlce in the
Dcckor building. He was married, and
llted with his wife and stepson at
181 East Sovonty-aecond street, where, when he
gavo up his offlce in tho Decker building, he
transacted all of his business. Tho story of
what led up to tho tragedy of yesterday was
told by Mrs. Hervd to a Sen reporter last night.
Sho said :
" My husband has been a dealer In One paint
ings and brio-a-brao evor slnoo ho left
Wall street. I am told that he was
considered an art connoisseur. However that
mny bo. I know that he did a largo busi
ness. Four years ago, when entering a Third
avenue elevated train, ho met for the first time
Roslna Drolet, a married woman, who at that
tlmo carried on a dressmaking business in Sov-enty-fourth
stroot, between Third and Loxington
avenues. She lived with ber husband, who was
a painter by trade.
"Mrs. Drolot waa accompanied by another
woman. As tho two worn on entered the car
my husband called the attention at Mrs.
Drolot's companion to tho fact that Mrs.
Drolot was about to drop something from
her dress skirt pocket Hearing this. Mrs.
Drolet made somo romark in French. That was
tho beginning of the acquaintance which de
veloped Into an intrigue between the woman
and my husband, and which ruined his life and
mino.
"Not long nfter tho woman met my husband
her husband left her. The woman then moved
into an apartment at Thirty-fourth street
nnd Third avenue, whero she lived with
her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Henry C. Gauthler. From papers left
by my husband, I know that bo paid tho rent of
tho apartment and contributed substantially to
the support of all tho occupants. So great was
his infatuation for the woman that, at any hour
of the day or night that sho sent for him, ho
would go to her.
" In 1893 my husband bought on Interest in
tho European rights of tho klnetescope. and
sent Mrs. Drolet to Europe to look out for tho
business. There she went under the namo of
Bureau, and her trip abroad of six months
cost my husband nonrly lfj.000. Sho cama
back In March. 189B. and stayed for a tlmo. I
think, at tho Hotel Martin. About a year ago
she took tho lease of tho bousoat 110 East Twenty-eighth
street under tho name of Mme. Bu
reau, the rent of which myhUBband paid, in
addition to what Bhe roccived from Mr. Hervd
she added to ber lnrorao by letting lodgings.
" About a year ago my husband told mo every
thing relating to tils Intrigue with tho woman,
and asked. ) as even Implored mo, to do whnt I
could to free him from her. Ho said sho bad
rulnod his life, squandered his money, and had
mado him a dlsgraco to his friends and to his
family.
" I looked Into the matter, found that all my
hnsband said was true, and then informed tbe
w Oman's husband. He was able to confirm all
that I had told him. Earlr this spring Mr.
Hervd wished to ralso some money, and
I gavo htm four diamond rings, upon
which he got a loan of $000. I found that, in
stead of his putting that money into his busi
ness, ho gave it nil to the Drolet woman. He
afterward redeemed the diamonds and gavo them
to her. I learned of this through his confession
to me. Ono day he asked me If I wanted my
diamonds, and I told him I did. Then.' he said,
'go to Mine. Hyena Drolet (ho always called hor
the hyena, because ho said that was the moat
danirerous animal he knew), and ask her
for them. Sho has told mo that, If you will
come after them, sho will glvo them to you.'
I llnolly consented to sco the woman, bo
causo I thought I might savo my husband,
Whon I saw her ebo refused to givo mo
tho diamonds, and I had her arrested
fur stealing them. When arraigned beforo
Magistrate Crane in tho Yorkviilo Pollco Court
on Juno 4 stio. said that she had ptwned tho
rings, and tho Magistrate compelled hor to glvo
mo the tickets. Tnero wero only three tickets,
nnd when I asked her for the other ono she said
that her sister. Mrs. Gauthler, had the other
ring. I subsequently got that ring from Mrs.
Gauthler.
"After that scone In rourt my husband saw
little of tho woman. Never a day passed but
that he would como to mo. with tears in his
eyes, and thank mo for tbo freodam I had
glen to him. The Inst tlmo 1 saw my hus
band alive was this morning, about A o clock.
Ho bad been restless most of the night. About
5 o'clock he got ud and dressed and asked mo to
tnkeawnlk with him In the park. I told him
that he really couldn't expect mo to get up at
that hour In the morning simply to toko n walk
with him, and bo said that ho knew It was In
considerato of him, and that, whllo I was get
ting moro sleep, bo would co down stairs and
nskn young man who Is living with us to ac
company him.
"lie was so nervous ana so unstrung Hint,
after ho went downstairs, I found It Impossible
to close my cjes. When I heard tho street
door open and shnt I got up. went to
the window and pocred out through the shut
ters of tho Minds. Mr. Uorvdwas standing In
front of tho houso looking nt my window. Ho
stood there for somo tlmo and then walked wct
toward Loxington avenue, looking back at tho
w Indow at almost overyotherstop. At tho corner
of Loxington avenue and hoventy-seoond stroot
ho took ono final look backward and then hur
ried down tho avenue. That was tho last that
Itmwhlm nllvo."
What Hervd did after leaving his homo Is sot
forth in a statement mado by the Drolet wo
man after sho was shot to Amhulanco
Burgeon Ramsey of tbo Manhattan Hospital.
Mrs. Drolet told him that between 7 and 8
o'clock yesterday morning Bho received a tolo
gram announcing that hor sister, Mrs. Gauthler,
was dying and requesting her to come to the
Gauthior fiat, 271 Went 114th street. Imme
diately. The telegram was signed Henry C.
Gauthler.
Continuing her statement, Mrs. Drolot told
Dr. Ramsay that as soon as the received the
telegram sho did not sloti even to chango her
dress, but.golng ovor to tho Twenty-eighth street
station of tho Sixth avenue elevated railway,
sho got uptown us quickly us possible.
Getting off at tho station at 110th street, she
hurried down Eighth avenue to 114th stroot
nnd hastened to tbo apartment house In which
her sister lives, which Is about midway between
Soveuthnnd Eighth avenues, Sbo entored the
frontdoor, she said, and hail ono foot on the stops
leading up to her sister's flat, which is on
tbo third floor, on tho west side of tbo house,
when sho felt a hand upon her shoulder.
Turning about sho saw Hervd, To her, the
woman save, Hervd said!
" Will you como back to live with m I"
Herroply was:
"No, I will not,"
"Then." ho replied, "we will not remain
apart, I sent that telegram, nnd if you don't go
back with me I will kill you hero."
To this Mrs. Drolot told Dr. Ramsey that she
replied:
" Well, I won't go back with you, no matter
whnt you do."
Then, according to the woman s story, Horvo
drew a rovelver and llredather four times.
During tbe conversation the man and woman
had atotmod backward down tho stairs and
stood In tho hall. When tho first shot
was fired tho woman suys that she stood
ii little lo tho east of tho foot of the stairs. The
llrst shot lilt her in the small of tbe back. In
quick succession, sho says, Hervd fired throe
moro shots nt her, Tho second one lodged
in the back almost opposite tbo first
shot, tho two shots being on each sldo
of tbo sninnl column and about threo Indies
from It, Tho third shot struck tho wainscoting
In the hall, and the fourth struck herln the hark
of the noek and lodged there. As soon as Hervd
bad tired tho first shot the woman begnn to
Be ream. At the second shot she fell to tho
floor. Directly after tho fourth shot was fired
Hervd fired the fifth mid only remaining bullet
in his pistol Into bis right temple nnd fell to tbe

Re Knows tho Deosemto Condition of Ipala
rerythlntr Tends to Fill the Patriot wltb
Hope and Visor Big Vote at the Elections.
Bettor G. do Qitesada, chargd d'affaires of the
Cuban ropubllo in Washington, has rccotved tho
following lotter from Gen, Callxto Garcia:
" MrJU, Holguln, May SO.
"JbV. Gontalodt Quetada. Wathington, D. C.
"MT DlCAIl FrtlKND AND COMPATHIOT: I had
tho pleasuro of receiving your esteemed letter of
the 4th Inst.
"If the Cuban pcoplo needed to maintain Its
unbroken resolution for Independence, If our
spirits woro to foil nnd our courago wonken and
wo wero to doubt our triumph, nothing could
be more encouraging than your lotter, In which
you spoak of your mission in Washington nnd
your well-founded hopes in tho rectltudo of Con
gress nnd tho high alms of tho Amorican people
and It present Government.
" It can do nnd should do a great deal In our
favor, taking into consideration only tho reality
of things and tho strictest justice. Tho fact is
thnt we are keeping up a Just war, moro
vigorous and moro powerful every day,
because our enemies aro every day weakened
by tho losses In their army in batllo and by sick
ness; weakened by their enormous expenses and
debts, by their war in tho Philippines, by the
Oarltst uprisings, by tho desertion of their sol
diers, and by a thousand other things, all of
which tend to bleed and impoverish them. It
seems as if overythlng had conspired to fall
upon Spain nt this time as a just punishment
for hor groat crimes.
" We, meantime are receiving now life from
the valuablo rcsourcos which roach us from
abroad, from tbo numorous recruits which como
from towns held by tho onemy, who increase
, our ranks or Join our peaceful and laboring
people, whoso labor provides for our army with
out a dollar spent either for salaries or food.
"By thoso advantages wo aro dally gaining
ground on tho enemy, pushing him moro nnd
more, to such an oxtcnt that ho Is to-day lit
erally confined In tho towns controlled by him
and to tho lund on which he stands. Ho is In
trenched In tho last strongholds of bis uncer
tain domination. Such Is tho condition of our
contest. Wo occupy three-fourths of tho Island,
and under us Is almost all tho Cuban popula
tion. We have war material and food, armo
ries, shoo factorios, saltworks, and all that Is
necessary to hold on indefinitely.
"The Spaniards, on tho other hand, occupy
tho shells of tho towns, tho few thnt. remain, for
many havo disappeared. They do not daro to
go more than a half loaguo from them, unless
in largo columns, to transport provisions from
one garrison to another, or from a town to ono
near by, and they are constantly fired upon by
our troons. They never remain In tho orien
longer than is strictly necessary, and then they
return to tholr refuge within tho town walls.
"Under, thoso circumstances so briefly
sketched, what remains for tho Spaniards with
which to triumph if they still bolio e that they
can triumph t Spain has tin moro men, ns was
proven in the enso of Gen. Polavlol.t, to whom
she denied the 20.000 men he nsked for the
Philippines; nnd oven if Spain had men nnd
would send them, thoy would not Improve her
chances much, because on their arrival a largo
part of them would becomo HI nnd havo to go
to the hospitals, there to dlo or becomo invalids
" What has becomo of the 200,000 men who
have been brought ot cr I Just now many news
papers in Spain nro demanding the return of
80,000 or 40,000 mon w ho are liable to sickness;
and as the same number, approximately, has re
turned to Ppnln, you can judge whether sho will
be ablo to replace them.
"Everything then loads us to bellovo that
Spain's hopes nro founded upon obtaining a
new compromise, which, like that of tho anion
treaty, will again submit us to ber power. This
explains hor offers of nmplo reforms, even of
homo rule, ns Iseo In the newspapers; but this
Is a futtlo hope, for you must know, nnd I want
you to mako It known everywhere. In
my namo, for the little that may signify,
that we will compromise absolutely with noth
ing which docs not mean tho independence of
Cuba, Thorn Is not a single man here, to the
last bumblu Koldter, to whom you enn speak of
anything clso than Independence without his
protest. Our cause is born of mat uro reflection,
of a necessity folt for many years, nnd as our
war Is a necessity and a reparation wo aro ready
to triumph or to dlo.
"How many Cubans havo already died and
how many dlo overv day I Those who fall on
tbe field of battle awaken In our bosoms admi
ration nnd new valor. But tho Innumerable as
sassinations which aro dally committed by the
Spaniards against our prisoners and our peace
ful pcoplo accused of sympathizing with our
cause, move us to the greatest Indignation.
" Reports appear dally In the Spanish news
papers of three of four executions of our broth
ers, nnd not a protost Is raised In any of the
republics of America; not oen In tho United
States, at whoso doors tho i rimes are porpo
trated, to Its shame. The greatest restraint and
common senso Is noeded not tn make reprisals.
But we havo made ud our minds to suffer all,
and wo nnswer their atrocities with tho pardon
and good treatment of our prisoners. Thousands
of them, after being liberated, hoo rofusod to
abandon our fields, where they are happier, and
wo generally cuiplo) them In agriculture.
" I w lsh that you and our foreign friends could
havo been here to witness tho elections for rep
resentatives in these Inst two w coks of May.
Thoy wero held In conformity with tho law to
elect tho novt Constituent Assembly, prolt!od
for by our Constitution. Here, in liolguln,
where I havo boon for some days, moro than
0,000 citizens have gone to the ballot boxes and

sessed It for ages. In Orient alono from fifteen
to twenty thousand electors voted, and thou

of the service, Blckness, &e.

Havana, via Key West, July 3. Several

authorities regard the situation here as very
grave, and thoy nro afraid to let tbe Captain
Gcnoral remain away longer,
Tho consensus of opinion among the Spaniards
is that Gon, We) lore campaign In tho oast nt
thin tlmo of year is a mistake, and that the
withdrawal of forty battalions from tho west
has strengthened tho revolution to an alarming
extent in the provinces of Matanzas and Ha

A man who is In the lioBplini oi Han Am

Nebraska Is Prosperous and There Is Trouble
Among the Silver Factions,
Lincoln, Nob., July 2. Tho first move of tho
blmotnlllsta of Nebraska for tho fall campaign
In this State was made last week, when the
SUito Central Commtttoo of tho sliver Demo
crats met at Lincoln. The loaders sny that they
proposo to mako tho luuos similar to what thoy
wero during tho Presidential campaign.
Tho commttteo'a session was marked by con
siderable animation. Tho chief point of dispute
seemed to be over tho languago of the memorial
to bo addressed to the Populist Control Com
mittee and the Central Committee of the silver
Republicans of tbe State, Inviting them to f uso
in tho interest of bimetallism. Some of the
Democrats thought the address should give
notice clearly that tbe chief ofllco to bo filled
this fall that of Chief Justlco of tho Supreme
Court must bo given to a Democrat; but others
thought it unnecessary to rniso so early an lssuo
which is snro to causo trouble soon enough. It
was finally concluded to ask tho other factions
of tho silver element to hold their conventions
at the samo tlmo and placo as tho silver Demo
crats, without specifying any object other than
securing fusion in tho interest of bimetallism.
This waa dono.
Though My. Bryan carried the State by some
thing like 15,000 majority, tho advocates of the
white metal are by no means suro they can keep
up tho averago this year, or even carry the
tato at all. It Is an open secret that a majority
of tho Populists of tbe State aro opposed to
fusion tbls year, unless thoy can nominate tho
candldnto for the Supremo Court bench. In
vlowof the fact that only two Regents of the
State University aro to be elected In addition to
tbe Supreme Court Justlco, tbo factions will
havo considerable troublo in dividing the
spoils to tho satisfaction of all. Mr. Bryan
Is quoted as sa)lng that tho Democrats
should ylold tho point to tho Populists, but thoy
aro not inclined to do so. Then, again, Judgo
Scott of Omaha, who was elected by the Repub
licans nnd then turned fuslonlstalongfroo silver
lines, is out for tho nomination of Supreme
Court Judgo. Ho declares that the silver inter
ests of Nebraska havo never recognized the
great number of Republicans who have voted
with the advocates of tho white metal; henco,
ho thinks he should havo the Judgeship as an
evidence, of good faith. Furthermore, he de
clares tn a most vigorous manner that he will
revent fusion and carry about four thousand
ndopondent Republican votes from the combi
nation unloss ho gets It. This is considered a
very serious menanco to the combination ar
ranged by Mr. Itryan.
Thero Is no disputing the fact that the lato
Presidential candidate from Nebraska and his
most Intimate friends realize that tho proposi
tion to carry the State for silver this year is by
no means oa easy as it was last year. Still, they
aro determined to lcavo no stone unturned to
effect this, since Mr. Bryan admits that if he
should fall to maintain tbe position of his own
State In the silver ranks his chances of being
tho Presidential nomineo threo years hence
would bo slim. They hat e discussed this phase
of tho case, and are willing to grant everything
to the other factlonaof tbe fusion combination
to secure this end. But thero aro sovoral ambi
tious sllvor Democrats who want to sit on tbo
Supreme bench, and assert that they ought not
to be asked to step aside to give placo to a Popu
list or silver Republican just to promote the In
terest of Mr. Bryan, for whom they have just
finished making such great sacrifices.
To stop muttorinirs of mutiny the Bryan
faction Is retailing all oer the State tho story
that tha Republicans havo a wide-reaching plot
to again Ropubllcanlze Nebraska and Kansas
by creating an artificial wavoof prosperity in
tboso two States. The plot consists In having a
number of manufacturing plants removed from
States overwhelmingly Republican to Kansas
and Nebraska. The say tho great corporations
are contributing to this scheme with money and
tho railroads aro transporting the plants frco of
freight charges. As proof of this story they
point to tho location recently at Omaha of a
million-dollar packlnar plnnt by tho Armours of
Chicago and a S500.000 beet sugar factory, and
the location nt Fremont of a largo branch of tho
American Chlccory Company's works.
Tho Republicans will hold their convention
after all the fusion forces havo met. Tho lead
ing Republicans of tho Stato sty that tho bi
metallism will nover be able to bold tho voters
togother a they did last ycor. They attrihuto
the present good feeling throughout tho Stato
to the fact that the fanners' contidenco is being
restored in the country and tho administration.
They declare that tho sound-money factions gen
erally will unite upon soma good men and elect
tbrm with, probably, tbe old timo majorities
common In the Slate. Tho sound money Demo
crats, under tho leadership of J, Bterllng Morton,
are equally active and declaro that thoy will
hn e a ticket In the Held this fall, and will do all
thoy can to contribute to the success of tho
sound monoy element, provided sllvor .Is made
tho Issue, which Mr. Morion very much doubts.
Ho Is lncllnod tn think tho situation will resolvo
itself Into the old tlmo fight of parties for the of
fices, and thnt llrvan and his free tilt cr dreamers
will bo mere incidents of the sit nation.
Bryan, however. Is in dead earnest, for ho has
already announced that he will stump tho Stato
from ono cud to the other, nnd will make the
situation especially clear to tbo farmers. The
farmers am justat present tickled to death over
the combination of the most extraordinary crop
prospoets and tho bounty Congress has agreed to
place on sugar bcot product and cblccory, both of
which aro being extensively raised in the Stato
tbls year, Consequently thoy aro in no mood to
e told just nt present that they need froe silver
to mako them prosperous. In truth, the rural
districts are much moro prosperous at prcsont
than tho towns and cltios.
