KILLED HIS FAMILY
Then Shot Himself Through
the Head.
DESPERATE DEED OF A CARPENTER
Be Was Oat of Work and Ills Family
Was Destitute A Deliberately
Planned Crime.
Chicago, Feb. 5. The entire family of
sir, consisting of his father, mother,
wife and three children, were murdered
last night by Richard Klattke, a Lake
view carpenter, who completed the work
by killing himself.
The dead are : Richard Klattke, a
carpenter, 39 years old ; Kate Klattke,
his wife, John Klattke, his father, 73;
Mina Wilhelmine, his mother-in-law,
71; Mina Klattke, his daughter, 9;
Anna Klattke, his daughter, 8, and
Emma Klattke, his daughter, 7.
The members of the Klattke family
were found dead early this morning in
their little cottage, at 207 Berskau
avenue, two blocks from Cuyler station,
a suburb Chicago, on the Northwest
ern railroad, by Matthew" Brown, a
ealoon-keeper, who called to 6ecure the
services of the carpenter. Each of the
seven corpses had a bullet wound in the
head and the death of all bad evidently
been instantaneous. Beside the body of
Richard Klattke lay a revolver, and
empty cartridge shells were scattered
about the room. There were no indica
tions of a struggle on the part of any of
the victims.
A heavy odor, which appeared to be
that ot chloroform, pervaded the house.
From this it was surmised that Klattke
first chloorformed the entire -family and
then deliberately aimed and put a bullet
into the brain of each. Everything
pointed to a deliberately planned murder
by the head of the family, and a deBire to
place himself and his family beyond any
further earthly troubles.
Klattke was despondent, his family
were cold and hungry. Since Christmas
he had been out of work, and he ended
his troubles just as relief was in sight.
This morning the next-door neighbor,
Adolph Schmidt, called at the cottage
with the joyful news that he had found
a job for Klattke. At the same time
Matt Brown arrived on the same er
rand. A close examination of the remains
showed one of the victims alone had any
warning of her fate. This was Mrs.
Kate Klattke, the wife of the murderer.
She, it appears, struggled with her hus
band before the fatal ehot was fired.
Her hands were scratched and her cloth
ing torn. She bad evidently been
overpowered and thrown be'side the
dead body of her little 7-year-old daugh
ter, Emma.
TO RECOGNIZE CUBA.
WORLD'S NEWS IN BRIEF.
Rlguts of a Belligerent to be Accorded
Her.
Washington, Feb. 5. The senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed upon a substitute for the resolu
tion heretofore reported on the question
of the recognition of Cuba, and author
ized Senator Morgan to report it to the
senate. It is :
"Resolved by the senate, the house of
representatives, concurring. That in the
opinion of congress a condition of war
exists between the government of Spain
and the government proclaimed' and for
some time maintained by force of arms
by the people of Cuba, and that the
United States ol America should main
tain a strict neutrality between the con
tending powers, and accord each all the
rights of belligerents in the ports and
territory of the United States'
The committee also voted to make an
effort to take up the Cuban question in
the senate as soon as the urgent defici
ency bill and the resolution for the dis
tribution of the appropriation bills can
be disposed of.
The.wish for arbitration of the Ven
ezuelan question is gaining ground in
England.
In the house yesterday, Delegate Cat

voluntary and leads to commission of
crime, it is a crime in itselt.
General Campos, in a recent inter
view, said: "Weyler will accomplish
no more, no less than I ; but in case he
fails he will not be relieved. Having
been appointed by a conservative gov
ernment, and being backed by the liber
al party, only a great and unexpected
catastrophe could bring about his re
moval." Colonel A. J. Fountain, one of the
best-known men in New Mexico, was
kidnapped on the road from Las Craces
to White Oaks, by cattle-thieves, and is
believed to have been killed, together
