(Continued from page 1) nlous as it seems, there are persistent rumors that the insurgents intended harm to the American commissioners In the event of a peace compact being made on terms unsatisfactory to them. Smoked meat is being laid down in large quantities and the rebel com manders are endeavoring to win over the veterans in the government service to join in the event of an American occupation of the island. Some of the veterans have already gone over and excused their conduct by saying that free Cuba demands it. The fact is that these men prefer fighting under any conditions to a life of peace, accom panied by the necessity of work. In some of the camps there is much insubordination and muttering against the leaders are heard because they have undertaken to make peace with the government through the Americans. The men in the field believe that they had the government beaten and that the Americans are now trying to steal their glory. This condition of affairs in some quarters is menacing tY permanency of any agreement which may be made. The insurgents are talking freely, and intend to burn Marianao if hostilities open, break into small bands, and seek safetv in the mountains.

"They got frightened away and one of them chucked the body Into this hole. Another ran Into the freight yard and seeing (lis car door open lung hia load lnsi.u. The third kept on to the river and hurled the head far out Into the water. "I do mt mean that the murderer was necessarily a surgeon. A butcher might have done the worfc." Detective petrcwino, one of the many police officers assigned to the rase, af ter an investigation said: "I do not think the murder was prearranged, for In 'disposing of the body the murderer picked up as wrappings whatever came to his hand a table covep and a man tel cover.
