SCORES OF DOGS DIE.
One Hundred and Fifteen CANNES
Killed up Until Midnight.

The Basement Of Central Station Now o
Chamber Of Horrors.
HUMANE SOCIETY WANTS A POUND

A new department connected with the
bureau OF police was created yesterday. 1t
was christened "the chamber OF horror"
and Is located in the basement ofthe Central
police station. Lying upon the cold stones
in the cellar last evening, with their toes, or
paws, pointed to the four winds Of heaven,
we're half dozen or more deceased CANNES,
whose spirits had been waited to the dog
hereafter by the use Of liberal potions OF
strychnine. Outside the station house and
across in the alley of Marshall's laundry
was the body of another pup that had been
enticed into the place by bad detectives who
carried large packages of "buttons" ior the
benefit of the CANNES and the public in gen.
eral.
The order to kill all dogs found running
at large went out to the police officers yes
terday morning, but the slaughter OF the
innocents was not as great as was expected.
The officers were little chary about giving
poison to the dogs, and the work did not
really begin until the shades Of night fell.
When the night police reported for duty
they were given lecture about the methods
ofkilling dogs, and handed large bundles of
nrepared "buttons Captain Unterbaum

GETTING TIRED OF 1T.
FUNERAL DIRECTORS ANXIOUS FOR SOME
RIGHTS OF WAY.

A Meeting to be Held Next Week-Peti-
lions 10 be Presented TO Councils - The
Matter nIny be Taken Up to the LegIs-
lature.
A meeting of the funeral directors Of the
CITY will be held next week, when action
will be taken regarding the crusade that is
being made against the right of way for
funeral professions by the traction COM
panies and others. The intention is to
formulate a petition asking for certain
privileges on the thoroughfares, which will
be presented to the City Council, and If the
requests are not granted, an appeal Will De
made to the Legislature.
Mr.. Fullerton, when seen yesterday after
noon, said: Its simply outrageous the way
we are compelled to pull out for the cable cars,
and give them the right of way, AS 1t is at
present we have no rights at all. Ibe minute
the cable bell rings we must turn OUT, no mat
ter where we are. And there is no place on
Penn avenue between the city and twenty
eighth street. for instance, where we can turn
out without having iron wagons OF every de-
scription drive in and break up the pro-
cesslon. After that there are oppor-
tunities for us to turn out, and we have always
done so. we have given the cars preference
whenever IL was possible, but we are getting
tired of it now. and propose to take decided
stand in the matter, and fight for our rights.
At present the law is all against us, but at our
meeting, which will be held next week. we will
discuss the matter fully, and sec what can be
done. Pending that we can give the cables
some trouble II they persist In making war
against us, by pulling out Of their way just one
carriage ut n time, which will delay them twice
as long n II they granted us the right Of way.
All of the undertakers are willing TO put up
the necessary cash"
Mr.. Meyer, who day before yesterday was
fined for delaying cable car, was very indhg.
nant over the whole proceeding. but said: "The
law n against us and there was nothing 20 be
done but pay the fine. unjust M 10 was. How.
ever. IL served to awaken the funeral directors
20 more speedy action In the matter, ~ tho
various informal consultations to-day has
proved"
The ideas expressed by Mr.. Meyer were idsn-
teal with those OF Mr.. Fullerton. ana are also
shared by MIR. Leslie McCabo Bros, Byrne n
McCabo Mr.. Matthews and Mr.. Moroland. The
meeting will be held In the rooms nj the coffin

Mr.. Samson will be notified regarding the
meeting and the object, ns will every one else

interviewed during the afternoon they did not
seem very much Interested In the matter. Mr.

CAN NEVER BUY CUBA.
II Furnishes Soft Seats for Spanish
Political Favorites.
THE ISLAND RIPE FOB REBELLION.
D. J. Chilbas Tells the Story Of spains
Tyranny Over Natives.
REV. PATHER 8. A. BlRsE GOES TO ROME

E.J. Chibas, q Cuban, Is In the city,
stopping at the Hotel Schlosser. He Is
from Santiago, Cuba, and Is In Pittsburg on
private business connected with the tobacco
trade. Though dark and swarthy and
thoroughbred Cuban. he speaks pure En-
glish, being civil engineer and graduate
of the Troy Polytechnic Institute. He is
anxiou for the freedom of his country, and
in speaking of the matter, said:
'The United States can never buy Cuba.
She will only be freed from Spain by an in
ternal revolution or by an invasion from the
United States. Matters are growing serious
there, and within vhe next five years Cuba
will be torn from end to end by revolution.
Spain can never be induced to sell Cuba.
While Cuba is not great source OF revenue
to the King. it is place where every span
ish politician can place his nre,
side, and the mobiles can rid
themselves of importunate creditors
by securing for them soft places In the isle OF
Cuba. This is the greatest objection spain
would have to parting with that one Oh ner COL
onies.
'In Cuba no Cuban can hold an office. All
are Spaniards, appointed by the King; Inc
only offices within the reach OF the people are
the seats in the Legislature, and that Dooy mas mas
scarcely any powers. The Governor has the
unlimited power Of veto and the legislative
body cannot pass q bill over his head. There
are three parties there. They are the
Home Rulers, the Spanish and the An
nexation party. The Home Rulers are the old
families of the island, who advance the IDEA
of home government by the people. Thongn
formerly strong they are losing power. The
Spanish party or the Conservatives favor tne
present Government. and the Annexation
party is for home rule by means OF annexation
with the United States. OF late this party has
been growing wonderfully. 1t has drawn
heavily from the Home Rulers, who see the
hopelessness of ever expecting anything from
Spain.
.'Our only hope of freedom" Mr.. Chibas con-
tinued, lis when our island is marked BY star
on the flag of America. This party will soon
be the power in the country, and the revolu-
tion will follow. There Is q great feeling OF
discomfort, and half the island now Is ready Tor
revolution. An internal war in Cuba Is not
many years off. The men are brave and
patriotic and. once started. will hold out Tor
years rather than again submit to SPAIN"

HAS TO BORE A TUNNEL.
The Only way tho Duauesne Company Can
Get Into WIIkInsburg.

The Only Wav the Duauesne Compsny Can
Get Into WiIkinsbgrg.
The Duquesne Traction Company has been
troubled about getting Its road into wilkins
burg and the matter has been discussed good
deal In the borou Oh for some weeks past. The
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks bar the way into
the borough, and IL has been question what
the traction company would do. A crossing ~
grade Is out of the question, and bridge
would be cumbersome and awkward. The only
thing remaining is to tunnel the tracks-no
small Job when the great width of the Pennsyi'
yania Railroad at Penn avenue is considered.
1t has been generally understood that the bor-
ough would have to bear some portion OF the
expense, and the only question rs now
much. Mr.. Charles H. Mckee, attorney
for the Duquesne company, was present az the
last meeting of the Williamsburg Council and
stated the case In clear and succinct speech.
He said the Williamsburg branch OF the Du-
uuesne Street Railway desired 90 pore tun-
mel under the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at
Penn avenue, and that they would like Coun-
Gil to appoint committee to confer with the
Traction Compa and the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company as to the best method OF con-
Quoting the work. After some discussion, It
was decided to authorize the burgess TO ap-
point such O committee.
MIR. Mckee said the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company would pay for the work directly
under its tracks. Council listened to the
quesne Company to change its route slightly
IN the Borough should the tunnel be made, but
1t could not be acted upon until the result OF
the conference is known. 1t Is intended to
build the tunnel SO high that load OF hay can
pass through.

AS TO LIQUOR LAWS.
SOME PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE
BROOKS SYSTEM.
A Higher Limit 10 the Wholesale Amount
wnnIed-Bonds From Any Part Of the
County Desired by some OF the Retail


A Higher Limit 10 the Wholesale Amount
wnnIed-Bonds From Any Part of the
County Desired by some OF the Retail
Dealers.
Considerable interest is being taken
among the liquor men, as to what new
measures may be introduced into the next
session of the Legislature. Already some
of the brainiest among them are consider
ing how the Brooks law can be amended
in the direction of drawing a tighter
line between the wholesale and retail
trade, and also as regards the exten-
sion of the bond beyond its present limits
Among the retail liquor dealers there does not
seem to be unanimity of agreement as to the
operations of the license laws or as to the utility
of any organization seeking to effect any change
In them. While the men holding licenses are
content to let things be, they allege that the
only disatfection in the trade is to be found
among those refused permission to sell. This
is the substance of what: was gathered in con-
versation with a number of the trade last eve-
ming, but the utterance of Matt Weiss regard
ing what the trade may do toward efecting an
an amendment to the existing law is prob
ably in the line of the general sentiment.
When spoken to in this re spect that gentleman
said:
The retail dealers have not yet taken action
or done anything more than outline what
measures they may take regarding the opera
ton of the Brooks law. / can only speak for
myself when l say that we may seek for an
amendment in the direction of extending the
present narrow limits of the bond to include
the county, and limiting the sale
of liquor by wholesaler to five
gallons We think it is reasonable that
a man should be allowed to find bond beyond
his own ward or district. and il we succeed in
making five gallons the wholesalers limit it
will have the effect of raising the status OF the
trade in general by driving out Of it a number
of so-called wholesalers who are really retail
sellers Regarding the method of granting
licenses 1 do not think that the trade desires
any change i think it is satisfied with the
present system, and believe 1t will be more SO
when the Judges gain moro experience In the
granting of licenses. There has been some
talk of an Excise Board, but in my opinion the
trade would prefer the existing system"

WHAT Is EXPECTED TO-DAY.

As each officer passed out Of the station
he tucked away somewhere In his clothes,
the nice, tempting bits OF bologna and roast
beef doScd with strychnine. II is expected
the reports this morning will show q won
derful increase in the canine mortality Of
the city.
A report got abroad yesterday afternoon
that 30 cents would be paid for each dog
caught on the streets aud delivered at the
Central station. As result, Diamond
alley, after o'clock, looked like an ad-
junct to a frst.class stockyard. Newsies
and gamins, big boys and little
boys, swarmed into the alley with
dogs OF high and low degree. Some Of the
urchins had dogs tied with ropes others car
ried them In their arms, while not q few had
the CANNES In boxes and baskets. One crowd
appeared about 0 o'clock, with q dog seated In
q toy wagon drawn by six sober-faced "newsies"
The dog was Of the barber pole variety, and sat
in the wagon as If he enjoyed the whole pro-
ceeding. When one OF the detectives
gave him button" he guped IL down
with the same alacrity that high school girl
takes piece of chewing gum, and after wag-
ging his tail looked around for more. The Off
GERS and crowd of people gathered around to
see the slaughter waited patiently for the dog
to keel over and fall out of the wagon. They
waited 5, 10, l5 minutes. but 1t was apparently

sourHsIDE DOGS STILL LIVE.

Tho Police 0nieInis Have NO Orders apd
the Canine Market II Down.
A number OF small boys rushed breathlessiy
into the Twenty.eighth ward station yesterday,
and told the sergeant they had some dogs out
side and they wanted 20 cents eaeh for eaptur'
ing them, They also said they had tried their
best to capture goat found without muzzle,
but his goatship would not aceompanysthem to
the station. The two dogs were taken charge
Of by Liyeryman Kimmel, but a. the police
officials had no orders regarding dogs, the SER
geant told him to lot them go.
A patrolman was strolling up carson street
Yesterday when o man accosted him and told
him 60 shoot the unmuzzled dog following
him. 1t turned out that the dog belonged to
the policeman. A good deal Of sport was had
by the jokers saying they would shoot the dog
and demand their 80 cents, but the policeman
retorted by saying he would lodge an informa-
ton against them for shooting In the city
limits, and again continued his stroll. followed
by the dog while numberless poor ours passed
by with heads down and looking as II they felt
keenly the disgrace Of wearing muzzle.
