Mother nnd Daughter Asphyxiated Them-t-elves
In Their San Francisco Honip.
San Francisco, Dec. II Mrs.Sarah
B. Cooper and her daughter flirriet
Cooper were found dead in their home
in this city this morning with tho gas
turned on and with, every evidence
that the gas was the mode" used for in
tentional death on thepart of both.
Mrs. Cooper was president of the kin
dergarten association of schools, and
her daughter was .deputy superin
tendent. I A C . .
Mrs. Cooper had lived, here for 30
years, and was ' wi6;jjKknosyn as arx
educator, philanthropist and writer.
She was president of the Woman's
Press Association, president of the
Woman's Suffrage .Association and
was prominent as a member of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
For many years she had taught the
largest bible class in the city in con
nection with tho first Congregational
church, her class numbering several
hundred adults. She was also assist
ant pastor of the church under the pas
torate of Dr. C. O. Brown.
The Coopers had taken a prominent
part in opposition to Dr. C. O. Brown j
when his case was being investigated
by the church. The part they took in
the matter estranged many old friends j
and tho suicide of the mother and
daughter is ascribed to brooding over
the coldness and snubs of former
friends. :
Ti e will of M'8. Cooper, made yes'
terday, has been found, and in it she
says her stated intention of commit
ting suicide would afford sufficient
proof to render unnecessary a cor

fore requested that the bodies be not

THE VIEWS OF SPAIN
Memorial Upon the Cuban Question Heine
Prepared.
Madrid, Dec. 11 Tho Spanish gov
ernment will frames long memoran
dum on the Cuban question, it is said)
'n political and diplomatic circles,
fully setting forth Spain's views re
garding her rights and giving the
whole history of the relations between
this government and President Cleve
land, since the beginningof the revolt.
Tnis memorandum will be a sort of in
direct reply to the presiJent's message .
It will be communicated simultan
eously to the American and European
governments.
The present Spanish cabinet anr the
leaders of all political parties agree in
thinking that Spain must continue to
avoid giving America the slightest
pretens; for taking offense. They al
ways agree that Spaid should main
tain her present friendly disposition
towards America in official relations,
so that tbe whole responsibility of a
rupture, if brought about by the inter
vention threatened, should rest en
tirely with the United Slates.

to express to Senor Quesada their

callers included a number of congress
men, and two senators, whose names
the Cuban representative declined to
reveal, who told him of their desire to
see sumo action ny congress that would
bo of assistance to the insurgents.
Senor Quesada authorizes his former
statement that the Cubans have enough
men and leaders to gain the causo for
which they are fighting. They can
avail themselves of fiO.OOO men, and
more if necessary, but what they need
is arms and ammunition, and medicine
for the sick and wounded.

ceo and the greater part of his staff
have been murdered by tbe Spaniards,
the Spanish major, Cirujeda, acting
the part of the assassin, with Dr. Max

beastly instincts by a cold-blcoded
mrrder; making the best of the secret
relations between Dr. Zertucha and
Marquis Ahumada, be planned with
the latter his hellish scheme.
"Weyler took the field and, in his
absence, Ahumada proposed through
Zertucha a conference with Maceo, to
take place at a certain place in tbe
province of Havana with a view of ar
ranging plans for the cessation of
hostilities.
'To carry out the plan an agree
ment was made that orders should be
giveu to the detachment of the troops
stationed on the trocha on tho section
between Mariel andGuanajay, to allow
Maceo and staff to pass the military
line unmolested. Maceo crossed tht
trocha over the road to Guana ay,
withouj being molested by tbe forts,
but as 800 n as he bad arrived at tbe
place decided upon he and his party
was greeted by a tremendous volley
from the troops uod -r Major Cirujeda,
who lay conveniently in ambush.
Most of tbe officers of his staff fell with
General Maceo. Zertucha is alive be
cause be was aware of the scheme and
remained in the rear. ' -.-

Resolutions Demanding an Investigation.
Washington, Dec. 14. Teller of
Colorado, was on the floor of the sen
ate today for tbe first time since the
session opened. On his desk was a
large basket of flowers, tied with red,
white and blue ribbons. The vice
president announced Sherman, Eikins
and Mitchell of Wisconsin as a com
mittee to arrange for the coming in
auguration of the president-elect.
Peffer, of Kansas, introduced a 30m
prebensive resolution for tbe appoint
ment of a commission to investigate
and report on the establishment of a
permanent monetary system.
The resolution recites that the re
cent election did not show definitely
that tbe people favored any one of tbe
four monetary policies on which-the
campaign proceeded, viz., gold mono
metalism, international bitnetalism,
silver and gold at 16 to 1, or tbe 16 to-1
ratio supplemented by legal-tender
notes. The commission proposed is
to cor.sist of one national democrat,
one republican, one democrat, and one
populist, these to elect a fifth person
of recognized learning in finance..
They are to be appointed by the presi
dent to sit in New York, Chicago, San
Francisco, Denver and New Orleans to
receive $400 each, and to conclude the
investigation within 12 months. The
resolution proposes an appropriation
of $5000 for the commission.
Call, of Florida, presented the fol
lowing: "Resolved, That the killing
of General Antonio Maceo, the re
nowned general in tbe service of the
republic of Cuba, while under a flag of
truce and with the assurance of safety
from the Spanish captain-general, was
a violation of the rules of civilized war,
an outrage, base treachery, a murder,
cowardly and disgraceful, which de
mands the execration of every govern
ment and all the world, whether civil
ized or savage.

law.
"Resolved, That the committee on
foreign relations be directed to mak
an inquiry as to the facts and report U.
the senate at an early day." '
Another resolution by Call request
that tbe president demand the releast
of all United States citizens con fl net
in the Spanish penal colony, island o
Ceuta, off the coast of Africa. A thin
resolution from Call asks the secretary
of state for a list of all the United

stances of their arrest, charges, con

were referred to the committee oo

WARKI0K ANTS.
fforrora of Their Advancing OoU
umn Wnen on the Maroh.
I
Kvsry Living- Thins Is CoBopaUeA
Xlee Before T a or tie 8pw4Uy
Overwhelmed and De
voured. It was in Honduras, near the Carib
bean .coast, while on a government
survey, says a correspondent of the
Omaha World-Herald, that I first saw
the warrior ants those strange insects
which march through the tropical for
ests in armies, attacking every living '
creature in their path. One intensely
hot day, as I sat in a hammock nndur
the thatched roof of my bamboo hut, a
native came running in, and, with ex
cited gestures, bade me follow him. I
did so wonderingly, and, going out
into the open, looked in the direction
he indicated. There on the rolling
savannah stretched a wide black belt
extending far back into the deep shad
ows of the adjacent forest. It rose and
fell with every formation of the
ground, and, like a huge snake, slowly
crept toward the village. "Tho war
rior ants," explained llio native ia a
strange patois of English aud Spanish
which I shall not attempt to imitate.
"They will soon bo here," ho con
tinued. "You bad better untie your
dogs or the ants will kill them." Act
ing upon his advice I loosened rty
dogs, and, retiring to a safo distance,
watched tho npproa-jli of the warriors.
In countless multitudes they swarmed
over the plain, ninrc.liing iu corn pact
order like a well-drilled army, llefore
them scurried a hctcrogeucous mass of
lizards, grasshoppers, frogs, beetles
and .other manner of innccts and rep
tiles, in a wild t-ciynper to reach a
place of safety.
Presently the advance guard reached
my hut and disappeared within; then
the main column appeared, and soon
the roof, floor, walls aad raf tcrs were
black with them. Like tho soft rustle
of dried grass stirrod by a gentle
breeze came tho sound of their pres
ence in the leaves of my thatched roof.
The sound incrcnserl in loudness as
the rats, mice, lizards, cockroaches,
centipedes and others their ilk, who
had long made the roof of their home,
tried vainly to escape. Some succeed
ed in getting away from tho house,
but only to fail victims to tho sur
rounding hordes without. One large
cockroach, I noticed, made a plucky
fight, but, ovcrpowereik by numbers,
he gradually relaxed his effort end
was soon dismembered, each ant car-;
tying' off "a portion of his body as a
trophy. ' v : .. .-,... .r
The most exciting battio warvvni .t ar
ssakeaixiat threJcct long, that tried
to slip away unseen. The ants quickly
surrounded him, however, nnd fought
with terrible ferocity. ' ' AVith every
switch of his tail the snake killed a
score-of his tormentors, but their
places were soon filled by the black
swarm which swept unceasingly on.
Finally the writhirgs of tho Gnake be
came fainter and fainter, and at last
ceased entirely, and then, and not un
til then, did the ants relinquish t'uslr
attack. All day long they warclied
through the house until at sundown
the end of the column had passed and
was lost to view in the thickness of
the forest. I entered the house and
prepared to survey ruefully my larder,
but my anticipations of sorrow were
premature, for thi-re were all my pro
visions as I had left them, uctou.-licd.
There was but one exception o poor
turkey which I had tied to a stake that
morning, intending to keep him alive
for a few days before making him into
soup. He was stone dead, but the
rumpled earth about him showed that
he had made a bard fight for life. Not
a dead ant was to be seen, they 1 .id all
been carried off by their comrades. I
afterward learned that the warrior
ants refuse to touch any food that they
themselves have not caught and Bla'in,
which accounted for my provisions re
maining unmolested. I was overjoyed
at the change in my house not
cockroach, lizard or any other inaoet
or reptile was left; they had been com
pletely exterminated.
