Thence they will return to the United States via the Suez canal, stopping only at such ports as are necessaty for coaling purposes.

An vessel, probably the gunboat Eagle, Is now on the way from Guantanamo to Port Au Prince, Haytl, where the Haytlen government on Monday summarily executed a number of alleged revolutionists. The vessel Is not sent there because of any serious apprehension on the part of the officials here that American interests at Port Au Prince or at other points in Haytl are in serious danger, but as a matter of precaution. The decision to Bend a war vessel was reached after the officials had read the newspaper accounts of the executions, supplemented by the information which the state department received from the Island. Commander Potts, whose flagship Is the cruiser Des Moines, Is the senior officer at Guantanamo, and he was directed to despatch one of his vessels to Haytl.

Man Who Stands I Shadow of the Gallow Perfecly Calm When Judge Wood Set Date of Sentence for Wednesday. March 18. Caldwell, Idaho. In the district court here on Tuesday, the assassin of Frank Steunenberg, former governor of Idaho, Harry Orchard, whose startling confession made public in February, 1907, caused the arrest of Charles H. Moyer and William p. Haywood, president and secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, and George Pettibone, honorary member of that organization, and the subsequent trials of the latter two, faced Judge Fremont Wood and pleaded guilty to the charge of murder in the first degree. There has been a great deal of speculation as to how Orchard would con-- , duct himself when arraigned at this time. Juries in the trials of Haywood and Pettibone refused to believe his tale of crimes committed at the instigation of the officers of the federation. They were all freed. After that the opinion was etxpressed in many quarters that Orchard would take advantage of every legal right he might have to obtain his own release or a light sentence. The stand he took was a surprise to most every one and, his attorney says, was entirely voluntary on his part and against the advice of many who had seen and talked with him. It Is known that strong Influences have been at work the past few weeks to get the man to stand by the plea of not guilty and stand trial. Judge Wood questioned Orchard as to whether he fully understood the status of the case, what it meant for him to plead guilty and If he understood that to plead guilty to the charges In the Indictment meant pleading guilty to the charge of first degree murder. Perfectly calm, with no indication of any emotion in face or voice, Orchard answered that he had gone over the matter thoroughly with his attorney and hacT made up tin mind definitely. Judge Wood allowed the plea to be changed and set the date for sentence for Wednesday, March 18, at 10 a. m. Harry Orchard was born March 18, 1866. The crime for which Orchard has been held was- committed on the eve of December 30, 1905, when Frank Steunenberg was blown to eternity while passing through the gate leading to his home in Caldwell by the explosion of a dynamite bomb. Orchard was arrested two days later and placed in the state penitentiary for safe keeping. Early in February tbe news was given out that he had made a confession which implicated Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone and others in the Steunenberg murder and In a series of most horrible crimes in Colorado. The three men in Denver were arrested, brought to Idaho and Haywood and Pettibone, after long delay, tried and acquitted The case against Moyer separately. was afterwards dismissed. LUNATIC SCARES BANKERS. Threatens to Up Omaha Bank and Land In Jail. Omaha, Neb. A bold attempt was made Tuesday morning to rob the Merchants National bank at Thirteenth and Farnum streets by a man, who, although at first thought to be a desperate criminal. Is now believed by the police to be a lunatic. The man, who gave his namet as I L. Fee, formerly of Rockford, 111., 'walked into the bank soon after it opened and menacing Luther Drake with a bottle which, he desaid contained Mr. manded $5,000 cash. Drake, though believing for the moment that his life and those of his fellow officials and employees of the bank might be In imminent danger, conrobferred calmly with the would-b- e ber until other officials called the police and the man was taken into custody. Tests by the police seem to show that the contents of the bottle were harmless.

SCALDED WIFE AND CHILDREN. Inhuman Act of Wisconsin Farmer Who Went Home Drunk. Chicago. Tbe story comes from Kenosha, Wis., that Christian Rasmussen, a farmer, is alleged to have gone home in a drunken frenzy Monday night, and heating a large kettle of water, to have gone to the room occupied by his son, four years of age, and his daughter, nine years old, and deliberately poured, the boiling water over the children. Mrs. Rasmussen attempted to save the lives of the children and the man turned on her and poured the hot water over her as well. She fled from the house and sought aid of the neighbors, while the children went into another bedroom, and, locking the door, hid themselves under the bed.
