With the Exaoatloa Tbe Murder
1 Wae bone to Secure Inanranee on
tbe Mater's Life.
LoHDoir, July 20. Despite strenu
ous efforts to secure a reprieve, in
cluding an appeal to the queen, Mary
Ann Ansell, who was convicted of
murdering her sister, an inmate of an
asylum for the insane, by Bunding her
poisoned cake, was hanged to-day at
Bt Albans. The crime for which Mrs.
Ansell was put to death was commit
ted for the purpose of securing the
payment of life insurance money, the
murderess haviug obtained a policy
upon the life of her sister, giving' a
false description.
The London Dally Mall and London
Daily Chronicle took up the agitation
for the girl and much money was
spent in her defense, The exertions
of the newspapers in her behalf cul
minated Monday in a publlo meeting
called at the Cannon Street hotel,
where a certain Jobson engaged a
room for the purpose, but the hotel
authorities, on discovering the object
of the mooting, refused permission to
oooupy the room, so Yelvert, ex-chief
justice of the Iiahamas, gave them his
office in the Temple for the purpose.
Thither the crowd repaired, number
ing in all leas than 100 ill-conditioned
peopleXlt was a poor result of the
protests of the 10,000 indignant corre
spondents claimed by the Dally Mali,
A resolution was adopted that Mary
Ansell was insane and should bo re
prleved, and a deputation of seven
was chosen to go to the ofiloo of the
home secretary and thereafter to
Windsor to see the queen. Curiously
the deputation included Cushwortb,
foreman of tho jury in the case.
Tbe deputation failed to discover
the home secretary at his office, and
left there Indignantly announcing
their intention of going straight to
tbe queen. Several went to tbe
House of Commons, where strange
persons were observable all day, at
tempting at lobbying with the mem
bers for the purpose of persuading
some one to move the adjourn
ment of the house, In order to
discuss the urgent public matter. The
members avoid the petitioners, who,
for the most part, seemed more crazy
than Mary Ansell herself. In the
bouse the home secretary said, in an
swering a question, that Mr. Dalzlel
had consulted the judge in the case,
who did not believe a new plea of In
sanity could alter the verdict. It was
impossible, therefore, to order a new
Inquiry, lie objected strongly to a re
quest for an independent Inquiry, as
it would be a reflection on the method,
of the home office.
There was much hysterical non
sense about the trial, which was ex
aggerated by tho heated partisanship
of the Dally Mall giving vent to the
opinions of men like Forbes Win slow,
who never saw the girl, but yet were
quite certain of her insanity. The con
version of the foreman of the jury Is
the only striking feature of the case.
No proof of the girl'e Insanity was
adduced by the Mail. It was easy to
get 10,000 letters on the subject, but
difficult to get MM' persons to attend
the meeting. Tbe deputation never
reached Windsor, as the queen's sec
retary sent a telegram referring them
to the homo office. Finally, last night
100 members of Parliament sent a pe
tition to the home secretary, praying
for a reprieve, but the petition waa
robbed of its weight by the fact that
most of the signers were tho oppo
nents of the government and Interest
ed by the political move. The home
secretary curtly declined to reconsider
the case.

CHARGES OF BAD FAITH.
Aa later-lav With tbe Leader of
: Affnlnaldo'a Cavairv
MmsRApous, Minn., July 20. The
Times publishes an Interview which
took place May IK at Sua Isidro, Lu
zon, between its special correspond
ent, Martin Tew, of the Thirteenth
Minnesota, detailed by General Whea
ton as brigade Interpreter, and Major
Lorenzo L. Zlalclta, leader of Aguin
aldo'a cavalry and one of the Filipino
commissioners who went to General
Otis with propositions for an armis
tice. ' '-..'.,,;..'
Major Zlalclta denied emphatically
that Filipino officials had ordered the
burning of Manila and the wholesale
murder of American, and cited as
proof that many Filipino officers wero
in Manila that night and wore taken
prisoners.
lie said the proclamation of General
Otis proclaiming himself governor
general had greatly incensed the Fil
ipinos, but asserted that both the
Filipino leaders aud people believed
the A meridian had begun hostilities.
Major Zlalclta, spuakingof the re
puted promises of independence made
prior to the fall of Manila, when asked
by Mr. Tew if, In their eagerness for
Independence, the' Filipinos had not
misunderstood or misconstrued tbe
language of the American officials and
officers, replied: .
"There is not the slightest mistake
about this. Consul Wildman verbally
made this statement to us, and we
had so much confidence In tbe good
Intentions of the United States that
to us it meant as much as !f it had
been delivered In writing.
"JJcsldus, when we were in Cavlte,
a number ot us hud the honor of en
tertatnlujr General Anderson at the
Atheno ltizal. This was before Ma
nila was taken by your forces. Gen
eral Anderson on this occasion made
a speech In which he said that the
Americans had not come here for the
purpose of taking one foot of territory
with the view of permanent posses
sion, but for the purpose of giving the
Filipinos their independence. ,
"On September 21 last year, on the
occasion of a fiesta, a number of
American officers celebrated with us
at tbe residence of I'edarno l'acbao,
and all expressed the same senti
ments, On many different occasion!
we were told by men high in author
ity that Filipino independence would
be recognized."
Major Zlalclta was told that many
people In tbe United States believed
it a sacred duty for the United titatea
to take possession of and govern the
Philippines, inasmuch as tha natives
were not capable of self-government i
To this he replied; ',
"This would have been a reason
able proposition If we had . demon
strated, after a fair trial, that our
government was inadequate to protect
life, property and personal rights.
How could we prove our fitness or un
fitness for self-government until we
had been given an opportunity to
show what we could do?"
25 FIREMEN HURT.
Oaoghl b the Fall of a Dnralng MU
wsnbee Hotal Me Mar Die.
Milwaukee, Wla, July 80. Fire
last evening destroyed the Graoe ho
tel, a four-story brick structure, at
the corner of Park and Reed streets,
on the South side. About twenty-five
firemen were injured, of whom flva
may die. Most of the injured were
taken to the Emergency hospital.
The pecuniary loss will not reach
more than 820.00.
At a time when the fire seemed to
be under control, and while several
firemen were in the structure to sub
due what little flames were left and
ten others were on the roof, the struc
ture tumbled with a loud sound, and
nothing but a mass of debris was left,
The firemen on the root and those on
the ladders and within, went down
with the ruins. It was an unexpected
catastrophe, and the crowd groaned
when they realized what had hap
pened.
Mew Machine Oaa Ordered.
WasmnoToir, July 20, The navy
department has given an order for 100
machine guns of a new type,' the most
powerful in the possession of 'any

attempt to Wreck a Brooklyn. Elevated
Railway Structure by Dynamite Ex
plosions Twenty-Two Strikers Ar
rested and Held on Su.ptolon.
Nkw Yobk, July 20. There were
two explosions in South Brooklyn at
Fifth avenue and Thirty-fifth street
just before 2 o'clock this morning.
Dynamite or some other high explo
sive had been exploded against the
base of pillars of the Fifth avenue
elevated road at that point The dyna
mite had been put beside pillars on the
opposite side of the street and the
explosions were .. almost simulta
neous. The force of the explosions
was such that windows in adjacent
houses were blown in. On one side of
the avenuo at that point is the pump
ing station of the water works and on
the other Greenwood cemetery. Un
derneath the roadbed is a tunnel lead
ing to the cemetery. Word was im
mediately sunt from tbe power house
at Thirty-sixth street to Brooklyn
police headquarters. The ressrves
were called out, and a few minutes
later a hundred potlcemon were or
dered out.
It is thought from the force of the
explosions and the quantity of dy
namite used that electrlolty was em
ployed in making the discharge. The
concrete at the base of the west sldo
pillar was blown out, but the founda
tion was not disturbed and tha pillar
itself was uninjured. The east side
pillar did not fare so well. The con
crete was blown away, and the pillar
itself, while not overturned, was
curled up at the bottom like a sheet of
paper. Trains were held up. The
last one from the bridge left 1:30 a. m.
El e rated trains on the Brooklyn
Fifth avenue lines were discontinued,
and East New York elevated trains
also were abandoned, as tt was un
known whether similar outrages
would be attempted elsewhere.
The damage to the elevated struc
ture was repaired sufficiently to allow
a resumption of trafilo on that road
early this morning.
Soon after the explosion twenty-two
strikers were arrested, suspected of
complicity in the explosion. , Acting
under orders from Chief Devery, nine
detectives went to the strikers' head
quarters in Brooklyn and arrested all
of the strike leaders there. The po
lice say the men were arrested as sus
picious persons, but were not neces
sarily charged with tho dynamiting
of tbe elevated structure. All are
striking motormen and conductors ex
cept one, who is a printer.
When the prisoners were arraigned
in tbe Adams street court they pleaded
not guilty to the charge of vagrancy.
Several of them wore gold ehalns and
had watches, and had money in their
pockets. All of them denied the
charge of vagrancy. Magistrate Bren
ner, on advice of Police Captain Rey
nolds, held five of them In 9200 bail
for examination. The others were
also held so as to give tha detectives a
ohance to look up their records. As
ball waa not furnished In any cose, the
men were sent to jail.
The prediction of the Brooklyn men
that the strike would spread to New
York lines was verified this morning
when motormen on the Second avenue
line of tbe Metropolitan Street Ball-
way oompany quit work.-This is up
on the Manhattan side of the river,
About one-half of the men quit work.
The strike was not authorized by the
leaders.
The strikers' pickets claimed to have
got men out of the Eighth avenue,
Columbia avenuo, Broadway and (sev
enth avenue lines. Cars were running
regularly on these lines, however. Tbe
officials of the different lines claimed
that there was not the slightest trou
ble on any line except the Second ave
nue, and they said the trouble there
would be adjusted in a little time.
A meeting was held In the office of
General Master Workman Parsons of
tha Knights of Labor this morning,
which lasted for three hours. Par
sons pleaded with the men not to
strike but they wanted to go ouf lie
said it would be of no use at such a
time, but be could not restrain tbe
men.
Tho Brooklyn lUpld Transit com
pany officiate claim to have operated
from 50 to 00 per eeul of their surface
