Two Americans Arrested

ACROSS THE SEA.
Americans Arrested.

LONDON, 4. - Two Americans have been arrested in connection with the Whitechapel murders.

ANOTHER GHASTLY FIND.

LONDON, 3. - Some new policeman who have recently been assigned posts of duty on the Thames embankment found in the recess of the embankment today the trunk of the body of a female much decomposed. The arms and legs are missing. The body was wrapped in a rough cloak lightly bound by a strong cord. It is believed that the arms found at Pimlico and Lambeth recently belonged to the body. The police have preserved the arms and head found in the Thames and express hope that they may fit the body, otherwise evidence is established of two more murders having been committed instead of one. The greatest excitement prevails over the matter, and the police are soundly denounced.

Sir Charles Warren, the Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, has decided to employ bloodhounds in the district frequented by the murderer to aid in the search for him. The police have adopted the story that a sailor, George Dodge, relates about a Malay cook, who, as revenge for being robbed by a woman whom he had occasioned, threatened to murder and mutilate every Whitechapel woman until he found the guilty one. Acting upon the clue, the police are hunting everywhere for the Malay.
