The FINANCE Committee VIII Report n
Plan to Council.
The finance committee of the Civ
Council held meeting yesterday after
noon in conjunction with q committee
of the school board, and took up the
question OF the sale OF Si2, 900 OF school
bonds, as petitioned for by the school
board, for the purpose OF erecting O
building in The Fifth ward and placing
an addition to the Gilmer avenue school
building. The question of the necessity
OF these improvements was clearly de-
monstrated, and the finance conn ittee
agreed with the committee from the
school board that arrangements should
be speedily made for the accom- mod ation
OF the school children in these wards.
The committee on finance carefully
considered the finances of the city and
explained to the members of the school
board that strong effort was being
made on the part of Council to pay of
all Hosting Indebtedness OF the city and
place its finances during the present
year on safe basis. AS to the pro-
posed sale OF bonds the finance commit
tee was OF the opinion that toe projected
improvements could be made without
additional debt, as there is now o suffi.
cient amount standing to the credit of
the school bond account for this pur-
pose. The committee will report Its
conclusions to the Council on Tuesday
night for action by that body. II the
Council decides to make these improve
ments it Is probable that plans for carr
frying out the work will be commenced
at en- early date.

The Concealed weapon nin vetoed

Mayor Jones returned to the clerk of
Council yesterday morning. without his
approval, the ordinance passed by Coun-
Gil on Tuesday night, amending the or
dinancss of the city 80 as to fix the min
imum fine for carrying concealed
weapons at fifty dollars. The mayor
gives IS his reasons that the proposed
law Is inexpedient snd not to the best
interest OF the city; 1t would work a
hardship on many persons, and at the
same time be heavy expense to the
city. The mayor does not question the
constitutionality of the law. Several
councilman were seen yesterday by q
TIMES reporter with regard to the &C.
ton of the mayor in vetoing the ordi--
nance; but from the expressions obtain
able, no conclusion can be reached as
to what action the Council will take.
Some members of that body favor pass
Ing the measure over the mayors veto,
while others are Of tho opinion that the
mayor Is right in his position. This is
the second bill the mayor has vetoed
since he has been in office The first
was passed over his vato.

Cuban movement is that on October SO
four prominent citizens of Santiago de
Cuba, who had been identified with the
Autonomist Club, were sent without trial
to the Spanish penal colony of Ceuta, on
the coast of Morocco. Africa. The facts in
the case come from authentic sources in
Cuba. and are alleged to constitute one of
the most serious indignities against Cuban
suspects thus far reported.
The autonomists have 4 central organ
ization at Havana, with clubs throughout
the island. The members of the party do
not support the inSurgent cause, and their
policy does not favor separation from
Spain. but home rule or Cuban autonomy.
The four principal officers of the Autono-
mist Club at Santiago de Cuba We're ar
rested by the military authorities on sus-
picion OF being friendly to the insurSent
cause. and the Spanish commander di-
rected their transportation to the Morocco
colony. An appeal was made on Septe n

ground that the prisoners had not been
given a trial, and that there was no proof
against them, but it was rejected by Cam
pos.
