Ikied in prison Confessed to 17 murders -'V yer at trial. Dahmer, a 34-year-old former chocolate factory worker who was serving 16 life sentences, had been attacked in prison once before. In July, an inmate tried to cut his throat during a chapel service, but the razor blade attached to a plastic handle fell apart before it could hurt Dahmer. Yesterday's attack occurred as Dahmer and two additional prisoners were working on a cleaning detail in the recreation area of the maximum-security prison.

A bloody broom handle was found at the scene, but Corrections Secretary Michael Sullivan said he didn't know if it was the murder weapon. "One could surmise a number of things. Their heads could have been smashed against a wall," Sullivan said. "There was a great deal of blood in the area of the attack," said Corrections Department spokesman Joe Scislowicz. Dahmer suffered extensive head injuries and died at a hospital about an hour after he was found.

At the time of the July attack, Sullivan said that it appeared to have been an isolated incident and that Dahmer was not believed to be in imminent danger. "Oh my God! My son! How could this happen?" Dahmer's mother, Joyce Flint, said when TV's "Hard Copy" informed her See DAHMER, Page 2A of one of Dahmer's victims. "This was just a quick way out." Dahmer had been in prison since July 1991, when a handcuffed man who escaped his clutches led police to an apartment containing body parts packed in oil drums, skulls saved as mementos and one or two hearts Dahmer said he had set aside "to eat later." "Dahmer had a death wish, and I know that he didn't have the gumption to do it himself, so I had predicted that the day would come when he would be killed in prison," said Gerald Boyle, Dahmer's law MADISON, Wis. (AP) Jeffrey Dahmer was attacked and killed yesterday while cleaning a prison bathroom, a gruesome end for the man who strangled and dismembered 17 boys and men and cannibalized some of them. Another inmate was being held in Dah-mer's slaying and in the severe beating of another prisoner at the Columbia Correctional Institution.

Authorities wouldn't identify the suspect, who was serving a life sentence for murder, or offer a motive. "It's not as brutal as what he did to our children," said Shirley Hughes, a mother 1991 AP photo Jeffrey Dahmer Bosnian Serbs reportedly near center of Bihac J' i 4 troops have been detained by the Serbs to ward off more attacks. Britain's defense secretary criticized remarks by Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole that Britain and France were partly to blame for the failure of the U.N.-NATO mission in Bosnia. Both countries fear NATO attacks would trigger Serb retaliation against their peacekeeping troops. The Serbs launched the war 2V6 years ago when they rebelled against a move by Bosnia's Croats and Muslims to secede from Yugoslavia.

The war has left 200,000 people dead or missing.

Western diplomats, stung by the United Nations' inability to save the "safe zone," scrambled to broker a cease-fire. There was little sign that Bosnia's Serbs would agree to one -except on their terms.

They have seized up to 40 percent of the safe zone in the Bihac enclave that was declared off-limits to combat by the United Nations, and they were intent on forcing the government garrison there to surrender. The Serbs' war gains have created a crisis for the international community.

But the average Mexican only knows the story's brief outline.

To most of Mexico's 90 million people, the man who puts on the green, white and red presidential sash Thursday is a bland and enigmatic man. "I don't really have an opinion about Zedillo," said Aureliano Hernandez, conductor of a small orchestra playing outside the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe. "I saw him on TV," the 62-year-old Hernandez said, pushing his straw hat back on his head. "He looks smart." Like many Mexicans who elected Zedillo on Aug. 21, Hernandez said he voted not for Zedillo the candidate, but for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party that backed him.

Hernandez said that the party brought potable water and paved roads to his town in the state of Mexico during President Carlos Salinas de Gortari's administration. He hopes for more improvements under Zedillo.

"We have to do it now. We can't wait until next year," he declared.

Supporters predicted that the rewrite of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade would sail through the House today with as many as 60 votes to spare. However, they suffered a setback in the Senate yesterday with the announcement that Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont, would oppose the agreement. Baucus, chairman of the. Senate Finance subcommittee on trade, said the proposed World Trade Organization was seriously flawed because it did not provide weighted voting, reflecting a country's size.

The 40- cent-a-pack increase in the cigarette tax goes into effect today, but some smokers have already been burned by retailers who began charging higher prices before the new tax was signed into law. PafelB, PARIS (AP) The paintings may warm the heart with their whimsy and spirituality, but the story behind them is one of cold greed. Police said yesterday they had charged two weD-known Paris art world figures with selling paintings by Marc Chagall that were stolen by the painter's housekeeper after his death in 19S5. Police said at least 40 gouaches, probably more, were taken from Chagall's studio in St.

Paul de Vence by Irene Menskoi and sold on the international market for about S10 million. Charged in the scheme were Jean-Luc Ver-staete, an art consultant, and Yves Hemin, manager of the Marcel Bemheim Gallery in Paris. Georges Guerra, their suspected accomplice, also was charged. The three allegedly falsified ownership documents and found respected galleries and auction houses to authenticate and sell the works. Menskoi was murdered in 1990, but her death was not related to the scheme, police said.

The case's investigating judge, Ariette Maurier, said Chagall's heirs were unaware the works were missing because each share of the painter's estate was decided by pulling straws. The contents of each share were kept secret. Police said about half the stolen works are in private collections outside France.
