Portland, Jan. 5. Captain Edward
Murphy, late of the American ship
George Stetsen, died at 8:20 this morn
ins. at the Qaimby house on First and
Madison streets, of brain fever.
He, in company with his former mate
George Harvey, left San Francisco last
leek, on the steamship Columbia, and j
overheated himself. While profusely
perspiring he engaged in conversation
with the master of the Columbia on the
bridge of the steamship, where he con
tracted a cold. From this it is supposed
arose his fatal illness. But those inti
mately acquainted with the deceased
captain believe that the brain fever is
resultant from his brooding over a ser
ious criminal charge pending against
him in the United States court, tor
which he and Harvey were to have been
tried next Monday by Judge Bellinger.
Captain Murphy was 45 years old,
having been a master 20 years, most of
that time in the Arthur Sewall line. He
was a widower, leaving a mother and
three daughters residing in 'Alamada,
Cal. In the event of bis acquittal he
was to have taken command of the ship
Shenandoah, now in San Francisco, of
which his brother had been master.
The latter days ot January, 1897, the
ship George Stetson, of which E. S.
Murphy was captain, and Geo. Harvey
was first officer, arrived at this port from
Boston. They had aboard a young sea
man named Amos'": Stone, who, it ie
alleged, had been no brutally handled
on the trip that be was imbecile when
the vessel arrived here.
In May they were indicted - by the
United States grand jury, but as they
were abroad at that time, their trials
could not proceed. In the meanwhile,
United States District Attorney Hall
detained three jurors of that term, hop
ing the accused would appear before
the end of that term. They not appear
ing, though, he mo fed the forfeiture of
their bonds, which at that particular
period, was overruled.
. In the meantime, and up to this mo
ment; the entire crew of the George
Stetson was taken in custody by the
United States marshal, a part of whom
are in the county jail here, and the rest
in, an outside jail, where, they are being
held as witnesses for the prosecution.
These receive $1 per diem for each day
of their detention, and board and lodg
ing. ' . , .
' The victim of the outrage, Amos
Stone, had to be removed to the insane
asylum at Salem, where 'he has been

Brooke's Orders, They Declare, Discrim

Havana.
Santiago, Jan. 5. The explanation
of the war department of its intentions
regarding the transfer of custom receipts '
from different ports in China to Havana
is met here by a statement of the. Cm
bans that the plan is similar to the one
adopted by the Spaniards when requisi
tions on Havana obtained less than 60
per cent of what the requisition called
for. Merchants, business men end in
fluential people here say Havana has
grown rich and prosperous at the ti .
pense of the rest of the island, and the
Cubans and government officials at'
Santiago say the Cubans of Havana are
responsible for General Brooke's order
on the subject.
General Wood and Da Castillo left
New York today, en route to Washing
ton to see the president on the subject.
Though the situation is critical it ia
doubtful whether any overt act will be
committed unless the populace is aroused
by some farther irritating order from
Havana.

"I have just recovered from the sec
ond attack of La Grippe this year," say a
Mr. Jas. A. Jonee, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable e ac
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days against ten days for the former at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as tte
first bnt for the use of this remedy as 1
had to go to bed in about six hours after
being 'struck' with it, while in the first
case I was able to attend to business
about two days before getting 'down.' "
