Havana, By Cable.-The insurg ents are eiclined to seek the benefit of the armistice during the continu ance of the peace negot iations. Here tofore there was merelY a verbal agreement without any definite terms, but a doeument was prepared and taken to the camps of Generals Guerra and Castilla and these chiefs attached their signatures to it. The document was signed by Acting See retary of the Interior Montalvo on behalf of the government. The following is the text of See retary Taft's armistice, as agreed up on absolutely by the insurgents and on one condition by the government officials: "A truce or suspension of arms having been decreed by the president of Cuba and proclaimed to the forces of the Liberal party by their leaders I. as intermediary for the purpost; of arranging a permanent peace, have the honor to request the opposing parties to specifically a!gree during the truce to refrain from all acts of hostility and to desist from all mil itary operations of a hostile charac ter, and all preparatory movements or manoeuvres which could not have been performed during the continu ance of hostilities or which would have been performed under the fire of the opposing party. "1. No movements of troops shall take place on either side without no. tification to the opposing authori ties, viz., the secretary of the inter ior of Cuba, Alfred Zayas, represent ing the Liberaly party and the Amer ican peace commission. "2. This peace shall be effective throughout Cuba. "3. If either party violates any of the expressed conditions the opos ing party shall not take hostile ac tion until. after a complaint or not cation to the peace commission. "4. Hostilities shall not be re sumed for at least 24 hours after no tification to the peace commission. "It is requested that acceptance of these conditions be made in writing to me. "Very respectfully, "WILLIAM H. TAFT, Sec. of the 'War Dept. of U. S.'' The condition which Acting Secre tary of State Montalvo made to sign ing the document was that he should notify Secretary Taft instead of Sen ator Zayas (president of the Liberal party) if the government desired to have troops. Until the signing of the armistice the government had been strength ing the defences of Havana. There are only small detachments of troops in the smaller towns of havana pro vince, and from one to t.wo hundred men at each of the princ'ipal towns along the railroad into Pinar del io.

MAD MJRDERESS KILLS GIRL NURSE Lizzie Hailiday, Inmate of Mat teawan, Takes Seventh Life. ACT PROMPTED BY AFFECTION Woman Kiows Favorite Attendant is About to Leave Hospital and At tacks Her With Shears-Stabs Victim 200 Times. Matteawan. N. Y.-Mrs. Lizzie Hal liday, upon whose head rests the guilt of slaying six men and women, added a seventh victim to her list in the hospital for insane criminals. when she stabbed her nurse, Miss Nellie Wicks, aged twenty-fonr, to death. Miss Wicks had showed such tact and skill in the management of forty or fifty women patients that she was promoted to be head attendant of the women's department. Mrs. Halliday, a woman of middle age and somewhat imbecile, showed a great fondness for her from the outset, and the attend ant made her one of her most trusted patients. Recently Miss Wicks announced her intention of leaving the hospital to study to become a trained nurse, Mrs. Hlalliday took the announcement to heart and begged her not to leave. The young woman laughed and humored her patient, but pontinued her preparations for departing. Sev eral times Mrs. Halliday had said she would kill Miss Wicks before she would let her go, but she has made so many threats against different per sons since her incarceration that little attention was paid to her. Least of all Miss Wicks feared her. Miss Wicks entered a washroom at a quarter to 8 o'clock a. m. She was followed stealthily by Mrs. Halliday, who had in her hand a pair of shears which she was allowed to have to do sewing. Creeping up behind Miss Wicks, the lunatic struck her on the head and felled her. Then taking the nurse's keys she locked the door, leaving the keys In the lock so the door could not be opened from the outside. With the fury of a tigress she returned to the attack, and, using the shears, she stabbed the girl over 200 times over the heart and in the face and neck. Miss Wicks' screams brought help, and the door was broken down. Mrs. Halliday stood at a window, calmly watching the death struggles. A maniacal smile of triumph lighted her face. "She won't leave me now," she said. and laughed as she spoke. Miss Wicks was hurried to a cot, but died within an hour, without re covering consciousness. Mrs. Halli day laughed gleefully when told she was dead. When Coroner Goring asked her why she had committed the murder she replied: ''She tried to leave me.1 Mrs. Halliday will not be placed in a cell. Superintendent Lamb says she will be carefully guarded, but there will be no punishment for her. For years Lizzie Halliday roved the Hudson and Mohawk valleys as queen of a gypsy tribe that made a living chiefly through raids on the farmers. It was in 1893 that she led her band into Sullivan Cojinty, when she met old Paul Halliday, then in his sixty fifth year. He lived on his small mountain farm with his bachelor brother. Later she married him. She had been there four years when the McQuillans, mother and daughter, who were lured to the farm, were killed by Mrs. Haliday at the same time she murdered her husband, and the crime was brought home to her. Long before this sire had burned the Halliday homestead to the ground, and the Imbecile and crippled son of Halliday in it. After the fire, which did not even cause her arrest, she was discovered stealing horses near Newburg, and a term in an insane asylum saved her from prison at this time. Set free once more, she remained quiet until the disappearance of Mrs. McQuillan and by' daughter, Sarah, started an investigation that resulted in the dis covery of their mutilated bodies. Her trial and her final commitment to Matteawan are a matter of history. She had been sentenced to be hanged when petitions were circulated in her behalf and a commission, which Mrs. Halliday aided materially by her pre tended attempts at suicide in her cell -always when rescue was near finally adjudged her Insane. Artemus Brewer, another of Mrs. Halliday's husbands, died after a year of beatings at the hands of the pow erful woman, and yet George Smith. an old-time friend of Brewer, who saw him die, married the widow. She laughingly gave him a cup of pois oned tea one day' and left him. When the doctors brought him around the woman had fled with another man, one Hiram Parkinson. On the way to Matteawan Asylum Mrs. Halliday attacked Deputy Sheriff Morris and bit him in the hand. He later died of blood poisoning, caused by the bite. -She did her best on the train to kill him.
