THE method of the insurgent Cu- bans, as related in a letter from Captain Watson, formerly a private in the United States regular army, published in the Associated Press re- ports last week, in exploding dynamite under the grand stand at bull fight, where citizens and soldiers, non-com- batants and combatants, were indis- criminately mixed, may be warfare
 but it is not civilized warfare. If many such occurrences are reported the insurgents cause will lose many sympathizers. As it is "Cuba Libre" has many ardent sympatbizers in the United States, but the methods and instruments of anarchism are ab- hoFred by them, and their use by the insurgents will quickly kill sympathy.

Two business houses in Nogales, Messrs. Chenoweth X Mix and the So- nora News Co.,, carry large and ele- gant stocks of plain and fancy station cry. And, of course there are few dimes in sight in that line, which with characteristic greed the Custom House Clotheswringer gang are reach ing to get. So they have put in a showcase and a similar stock of sta. tionery'and are competing for the trade of customers from whom they have the hardihood to ask for patronage in the way of advertising and subscrip- tions. Next they vii. probably put in little tinware and hardware, and after that a small stock of groceries and provisions, if not stock of threads and laces. Anything to turn a penny. The people of Nogales ought to petition Uncle Sam to increase the salary of the collector of customs so he can afford to quit mixing in other business.

IN TREATING of situations in for eign lands the best of journalists sometimes show very hay ideas of geography.

About the same time the Two Republics in the City of Mexico land the statement was gravely copied by many American journalsl asserted that having captured the important seaport of Puerto Principe the Cuban insurgents would doubtless be recog- nized by the general powers as belli- gerents. Puerto Principe is an island city at an altitude of several thou sand eet-and the insurgents have not captured it.

ARREST ORDERED
Member of a Big Chicago Firm
Refuses to Answer
Questions.
INVESTIGATING HIS STORE
State Senate Desires Informal
ton and Is Bound to
Have 1t.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills., May 8.-After a
lengthy conference with Attorney Cen
eral Maloney. Lieutenant Governor
Gill issued warrant of commitment
addressed to Sergeant-at-A Arms Ander-
son Of the state senate, and all sheriffs,
directing that Frank H. Cooper of the
firm of Siegel, Cooper & Co. Of Chicago
be placed in Jail and kept there until he
signifies his willingness to satisfactorily
answer questions which he refused to
reply to at the bar Of the state senate
regarding the affairs Of the firm of
which he is member.
AS before stated in these dispatches,
Cooper, when brought before the SEN
ate in pursuance of an investigation
into the affairs of his firm in Chicago,
instigated by a resolution introduced
by Senator Solomon, refused, on advice
of his attorney, to divulge the private
affairs of his firm, and the senate, by a
narrow majority, decided to imprison
him for the refusal. Sergeant.at-Arms
Anderson declined to place him in Jail
unless all indemnity resolution was
passed to protect him (Anderson) in
case Of action for false arrest and i'm
prisonment. The warrant, however,
being directed to all sherifs, deputies
and constables, Cooper will probably be
placed in prison. Much interest is felt
as to the outcome of the case.

respondent at Kars, saying that 800 of
the survivors Of the recent massacre in
Armenia, who returned to their homes
under promise of protection from the
Turks, are being daily prosecuted and
tortured at the hands of the Turkish
officials, supported by gendarns. For
two months, it is added, officials have
tried to force the refugees to sign an
address of thanks to the sultan, stating
that they have met with only kindness
at the hands Of the troops, that all the
troubles were caused by Kurdish raid
ers, and that the sultan's troops took no
part in the slaughter. Those refusing
to sign the address were beaten, placed
in chains and suspended for hours by
their feet. Women were outraged and
children were shamefully treated.

tro<iitors OF N. p. Clarke Object - That
C-ansfer Decd. -
MINNEAPOLIS, May 8.-The situa-
ton in the n. p. Clarke & Co. failure
remains practically unchanged. The
creditors committee and representa-
tives of the insolvent estate were In
conference until a late hour, and N. p.
Clarke expressed the hope that threats
of interference with the st. Cloud
assignment would not be carried out. A
petition for a receivership in Hennepin
county would, he said, greatly increase
the cost of settling the estate, and he
hoped that by careful management by
Mr.. Kells, the assignee, conservative
man, that the creditors would be paid
100 cents on the dollar. The receiver
ship proceedings, resulting i'll inevitable
litigation, must consume a large por-
ton of the estate, whichever side won,
and would reduce the dividends very
appreciably.
The creditors are fully organized and
are in position to fight for their
rights. Their present position is an'
tagonistic to the assignment Of N. P.
Clarke & Co. on the present basis, and
hence to Mr.. Kells, as assignee. II
Mr.. Kells is to carry on the work as
begun by N. P. Clarke in transferring
his property, the creditors will try to
secure his removal and secure the ap-
pointment of some one else.

Secretary of the Treasury John G.

tween q Democratic 16 to presiden-
tial ticket and a Republican sound
money ticket there was nothing tor
Democrats who take the administration
view of the financial question to do
but to vote with the Republicans. 1t
might be, Secretary Carlisle said, that
the sound money Democrats in the
national convention would refuse to be
bound by Is to 1 platform and ticket,
and would make platform and non1l-
nations of their own. In that event he
would, of course, vote for the sound
money Democratic ticket. But-and
the secretary was very emphatic ne
certainly would not support, with his
vote, 16 to free coinage ticket.

Title to Thousauds Of Acres Contested by
Heirs.
SPENCER, Ia, May 6.-The term Of
the Clay county district court, just
opened, is likely to be rendered note
worthy from the fact that test cases in
volying the titles to thousands Of acres
of valuable agricultural lands in East
ern Nebraska and Northwestern Iowa
are to be put on trial. Nearly 20 years
ago John Irwin, an Ohio man, went to
Nebraska City, Neb., with carpetbag
full of soldiers land warrants. With
these he secured an immense
area Of land in the two states
In Iowa alone it covered portions of 20
counties. Three years later, or early
in the sixties, the lands were sold for
taxes. Irwin made no effort to redeem
them, although he lived until 1893. His
heirs have brought suit for recov-
cry of the land on the ground that he
was insane when the tax sales took
place. Whatever the verdict of the
county court the case will be carried to
the supreme court and years of itiga-
ton are in prospect.

C0RNER|NG GOLD.
The Rothschild Syndicate Evil
IDENTITY Expects Another
Bond ISSUE. &a8bM
LAST one A GREAT SUCCESS.
Promoters Of the Deal Said to
Have Made at Least Ten
Millions. &.<..&

CHICAGO, May 8.-A special to- The
Post from Washington says: Thesdis-
covery that there is an actual basis for
the report that the Morgan Rothschild
bond syndicate is conspiring to corner
the gold market has been regarded as a
foolish canard. 1t is a fact, however,
that brokers representing this syndi-
cate have been paying premium for
the refined gold output Of the private
refneries through the West during the
last two months, and that they are ac-
cumulating fine gold at the rate Of
81, 500, 900 to $4,000 600 per month,
which represents fully two-t thirds of
the
Entire Gold Output
of the United States. The attention of
officials of the treasury department was
first attracted to the speculative busi-
ness by the sharp falling off in the de.
posits of gold at the mints, and inquiry
very soon developed that private parties
were buying the product OF the re-
fneries.
Further inquiry revealed that the
metal thus purchased was drifting to
New York, where it is being put III
store to the credit of the Morgan
Rothschild syndicate. In order to
divert the yellow stream from its usual
channel leading into the United States
mints the private purchasers have been
Obliged to Pay Premium
of one-sixteenth to one-half cent. The
premium paid for most Of the gold was
one-eight cent, but so anxious have
been the buyers to increase their lines
ang get everything in sight that they
have marked up their quotations dur
ing the last few days. At the present
time they are getting practically the
entire output Of the United States ex'
cepting on the extreme Western coast.
Many long headed men in Washington
and Wall street who are familiar with
the methods of the parties composing
the syndicate, have jumped to the Con-
clusion that the foundation is being
laid for another bond deal before con-
gress meets again.
A Corner on the Treasury.
OQOer Cuo CoTms VI tuo COutrdCI Will
the treasury department the Morgan
Rothschild syndicate has an option on
any local bonds that may be issued by
the government prior to October next.
The treasury is absolutely in their
hands until that date. If from any
natural causes, or through chicanery
and manipulation, the administration
is obliged to issue another batch Of
bonds to maintain the gold reserve the
sale must be made to the syndicate
that took the last issue. The new
bonds are selling in open market at
1917. They cost the syndicate 1919,
which would show profit of II points
in the operation, amounting in all to
$40, $40, 900.
