WINNIPEG, Man., May 30.-The tel
egraph wires have been cut in the
neig'hborhood Of the Indfan reserves at
Duck Lake, where the fugitive Indian
outlaws are being besieged by mounted
police and volunteers, and there Is much
uneasiness here and fears are being en-
tertained that other Indians are joining
the fugitives. The government took
charge Of the wires today and military
officers in various parts Of the country
have been exchanging kilograms rela-
tive to the situation. A large quantity
of ammunition for cannons was shipped
from here today by express, and the
mounted police that were leaving for
England to attend the jubilee were re-
called. 1t is said that the dragons
here have been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness to move
A report from Duck Lake says the
transport party which left for the scene
of the Indian trouble this morning re-
port that Capt. Gagnon, with a seven
pound field gum, arrived before dark last
night at the bluff, where the Indians
are entrenched, and fired seven shells
into the bluff. AT dusk, when every
thing had quieted down, Almighty
Voice yelled to the police that they
were doing well, but wonld have to do
better. The mine -pounder, in charge Of
Assistant Commissioner MoIllree, was
trained ON the bluff at g. M, and
got the range at the second shot. A
transport Is leavingt with picks and
shovels for the purpose of throwing up
earthworks to enable the men to adj
vance ON the bluff under cover in casa
they are not successful in driving the
Indians out with shells. The Indians
are supposed to have good underground
protection. There have been no further
fatalities.

CONV|CIS FAR FROM SDBDuED.
Trouble Ahead for the Off
Gals of San Quentin Prison.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May So.-The
riotous convicts in the San Quentin
penitentiary caused no serious trouble
TO-DAY. but they are still defiant. and
vaguely threaten that they will yet
compel the authorities to yield to their
demands. Warden Hale is confident
that the backbone Of the strike has
been broken, and thinks that he will
soon starve the unruly men into sub
lection. They are closely watched, and
the guards are instructed to instantly
suppress any attempts at organized
disturbance. During the regular exer-
cises today some Of the convicts not
implicated In the strike, but sympa-
tbizing with the leaders, pelted the
doors Of the dungeons where the men
on short rations are confined with po-
tatoes and pieces Of bread, and in this
way managed to give them considera-
BILE food before the very eyes Of the
keepers.
Shouting and halnm ering on the
doors was continued all day, but those
who approached within hearing dis
tence were greeted with the vtlest
durses. The men declare that they will
never submit to discipline again, and
prison officials are fully aware that 1t
will be difficult task to restore tram
guilty. Warden Hale declares that
there is no foundation In fact f2r the
food served. He thinks their charge
Is merely q pretext for the convicts
refusing to work in the jute mill, and
positively declares that, having quelled
the first outbreak, he is now master OF
the situation.

Minneapolis, Capt. Robideau, the in.l
specttng officer finds, has gone back.
At the last annual inspection Company
F stood something like SO Lieut. Nc
Coy found it necessary this time to put
them last Of the companies in the
First infantry.
The Hastings company Lieut. Mccoy
visited earlier in the season, but, ow-
ing to their apparently apathy, he de-
clined then to inspect 1t. Since then,
however, the members have taken
brace. and last Friday night put up
fairly good drill
In a number Of other cases the res
port contains notations made by the in-
specting officer regarding different
features which he found while on the
round of inspection. The city COM
panies he finds very naturally show
the most substantial progress owing
to the advantages such as opportunity
to witness the performance of their
rival companies, interchange of views,
etc. This has been the first year for
the new manual, but the inspecting Of
fcer is Of the opinion that this inno-
walton cuts but little figure in tho
total marking. Between April 19 and
May 27 Inspecting Officer Mccoy has
witnessed the annual maneuvers Of
IWGuly y-tlSuJ lllIduIIy cOIupdIieS anu
two light batteries, A of st. Paul and
B of Minneapolis. No reference is
made to the battery inspection. save
a brief mention of the number of men
who turned out. The reason for this
is that the artillery contest, for which
Maj. Libbey offered a prize medal, Is
to be decided by Lieut.. McCoy's re-
port. which is securely sealed and de-
posted in the adjutant generals vault
and will not be made public until the
artillery is encamped at Lake City in
July.
1t is set forth in the report that the
programme laid out in General Orders
No. by the adjutant general, early
in April, shall consist of the formal
inspection in full and fatigue dress and
heavy marching order manual of arms,
firing, bayonet and setting UP eXer-
else, and the various other company
maneuvers. 1t also includes the pla-
teon movements, extended order drill
and school of the company.
The very creditable showing pa6e
by the leading companies, and espe-
cially by Capt. Beams crack company,
is to be commended more than ord1-
narily owing to the fact recognized by
national guardsmen that Lieut.. Mccoy
is easily one Of the strictest and at
the same time one of the fairest dril1
masters in the army. Trained in the
national guard, he understands fully
the difficulties and exigencies in the
life Of a guardsman, and that, coupled
with his practical experience in the
army, peculiarly fits him for the du-
ties of inspecting officer. While he
is not a West Point graduate, he has
given some years to a careful study OF
military tactics and regulations, and
is conceded by his army associates as
being thoroughly posted in those things
which go to make up a good officer.

Coy, detailed from the Third infantry
to inspect the companies of the Minne-

Adt. Gen. Herman Nuremberg Satur-
day, and every member of the guard
will be interested In noting the result

tions of the report could not be secured
The position of honor again falls to
Capt. Ed Beams crack Company D,
which earned a marking of SO points
out Of possible 100. The other COM
panies of the First regiment in St.
Paul and Minneapolis are pretty we'll
together with credtaIble markings,
while Company O. Of the Third regi-
ment, at Duluth, In command Of Capt.
Resche, for the first time in many
years broke into the honor column,
which had hitherto been monopolized
by the First regiment, and captured a
score of SO points. This puts them in
third position, second place having fall
len to Company A in Minneapolis,
Capt. McWade commanding, with 92
points. Two Minneapolis companies
had a close struggle for fourth place,
Capt. Diggles. Company B. having won
the position by less than a point from
Capt. CorrisHon's Company I, both COM
panies having a total of 81 and frac-
ton.
Another close struggle is shown to
have taken place between Companies
c, Capt. Robinson, and 3, Capt. Spear,
both Of ST. Paul, the G boys holding
a lead in the marking by two points.
The figures were 83 for G and 81 for 3.

Outside Of the First regiment COM
panies located in the Twin Cities, the
Duluth Company, which showed up so
credita!bly, and the West Duluth COM
pany, which stands at the bottom with
but 81 points, all the infantry COM
panies ranged between 60 and rs points,
and for the most part showed signs of
Improvement in general efficiency.
Taken as a whole, the st. Paul
guardsmen made the best general
showing, with the soldier boys from
Minneapolis close second. Lieut.. Nc
Coy gives considerable credit to Com
pany C., Of the Third, at Duluth, which
won third honors, and adds that the
other two Duluth companies are al
ready showing the good effect Of the
contact, argument and rivalry which is
afforded in cities. The West Duluth
company as stated above, foots the
list with total of 81 points.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-In pursu-
ing a policy looking to the complete
independence Of Cuba, President Nc
Ktnley has the cordial cooperation Of
every member Of his cabinet. The pres
ident proposes to use every endeavor to
induce Spain to pacifically accept the
good offices of this government for the
purpose of concluding an honorable
peace, with the understanding that
Cuba shall have a republican form Of
government and be freed from the pos
sibility Of military dictatorship; this
government to undertake to sustain a
civil form of government on the island.
In the event of failure, after exhaust
ing every means of securing peace
full solution of the problem, the pres1-
dent will resort to force. The Spanish
minister is fully advised of the plan.
and has communicated it to his govern
ment.
At the cabinet meeting on Friday last
it was suggested by two Of the MEM
bers of the cabinet that In the event Of
war it would be necessary to issue
bonds, and that this power would have

the silver senators might block the way
by demanding the issue Of silver bonds.
This matter was fully considered, and
on Saturday the president commun1-
Gated with a leading silver Republican
senator who sent back word: Tell
the president that the silver senators
are as patriotic as ever, and will do
nothing in such an emergency to ham
per him. We are not only patriotic, but
we know enough Of politics to know
that the people Of this country would
condemn us if we should pursue such
a course in such an emergency 1t
would mean the doom of the silver
cause if we should undertake to stand
in the way of public opinion at such a
time"
Senator Morgan, Of Alabama, the
author Of the joint resolution which
recently passed the senate, said: II
am a silver man, and a Democrat.
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-05-31

The president is a Republican and q
gold man. Both of us are American
citizens, and I should stand with him
in a. war with Spain, and so would
my Democratic colleagues"
1t was stated at the White house
this afternoon by a senator who had
conversed with the president, that the
report of Judge Calhoun is expected
early this week, and that the presi-
dent does not intend to take final ac-
tion in the development Of his policy
until he receives that report. Consul
General Lee was directed to show
Judge Calhoun the copy Of his recent
report, and also to give him data con-
cerning later developments in Havana,
in order that the important report of
Calhoun may be an up-to-date docu-
ment, upon which the president may
act, and which he may be able to lay
before both houses Of congress in a
special message on the all-engrossing
topic. No doubt is expressed in any
quarter concerning the determination
Of the president to bring to a close the
present condition Of affairs in Cuba.
Charles Pepper, for many years
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune and known to be a man
of absolute reliability, has a long let
ter in the Evening Star from Havana,
in which he says:
"No one who comes to this island
will doubt, after forty-eight hours OBJ
servation, that state of savagery ex-
lists which goes under the name of
war. People are being starved to
death by a well-defned military policy.
The island is being made desert un-
der the same policy. The full meaning
of Gen. Weyler's concentration order
is being shown by Its results. Another
year and perhaps the insurgents will
have nothing from which to draw sus-
tenance-neither men, food, nor arms.
Gomez and the other insurgent leaders
are sustaining war in a desert. The
young soldiers from Spain are brave
enough, but for every pacifico muir
dered more than one soldier Of Spain
meets death by disease. Smallpox Is
working greater havoc now among the
refugees in Guanabacoa, five miles
from Havana, than hunger. But hum
ger is taking many lives, and destitu-
tion is everywhere apparent, pitifully
apparent. One of our consuls today

entirely finished her cargo a report
was started that officers were ap-
preaching, and that the revenue cut
ter Morrill, was getting up steam,
out and started down the river at
10:45 p. M, and In few hours crossed
the bar and anchored outside. The
schooner John D. Long, having mean
while been loaded with coal and other
material at the Wilmington and Wei
don wharf, was shortly afterwards
towed out to sea by the tug Jacob
Brandon, going past the revenue cut
ter Colfax On the schooner were
Gen. Nunez and another officer Of the
Cuban army, Cuban pilot and Capt.
John O'Brien, of the filibustering tug
Dauntless. At the sea buoy they went
on board the Jones. anchored near by,
and Capt O'Brfen took charge Of the
expedition. A hawser was made fast
from the Jones to the schooner. and
early Friday morning the tug steamed
to the south with her tow. The Jacob
Brandon returned to Southport.
On the way down the coast no port
was entered, but off Palm Beach on the
coast Of Florida, sixty-two Cubans were
taken on board. The Jones then towed
the schooner to the Bahamas, and in
the vicinity anchored in the open sea
on TuSeday, May 18. On Thursday
morning, May 20, the filibuster Daunt-
less hove in sight and came alongside
the Jones and the schooner
She coaled from the schooner, took a
cargo Of arms from the Jones and with
Capt O'Brien in command, headed for
the Cuban coast, about sixty miles
away. She left the Jones between 8 and
9 O'Clock Thursday night, made a sue
cessful landing In Cuba near Ma,tanzas
and after an absence of twenty -four
hours returned to the Jones, took an
other cargo Of war material and started
for Cuba Friday night. On the last trip
Gen. Nunez and the sixty-two Cubans
left the Jones and went ON board the
Dauutless and accompanied Capt.
OBrien. When the Dauntless left with
her second cargo the Jones coaled from
the schooner, tOwed her off Cape Cana
veral, Florida, and turned her loose. She
sailed back and got into Southport yes
terday morning.
The cargo carried out Of here was
valued at $4,000, and is said to have
been the second largest ever landed In
Cuba.
The members of the crew above re-
ferred to says there is no truth In the
story that the Jones was chased and
fired ON by Spanish war vessel. The
Jones never saw the smoke OF such a
war vessel while on her trip.

BITTER AGAINsT CALHOUN.
Weyler's Havana Organ Scores the
Commissioners.


HAVANA, May 30.-In a leading ar
makes a scathing indirect attack upon
Commissioner Calhoun by criticising
articles which have appeared in
Washington newspaper over the sigma
ture of Mr.. Pepper. who, in the g1lise
of an intimate friend Of President Nc
Kinley and Mr. Calhoun, accompanied
the latter to Cuba.
that many incidents of the interior
working Of the mixed commission
which are wholly private have been
divulged by Mr.. Peppers letter, thus
tending to compromise Mr.. Calhoun.
The paper also resents Mr. Peppers
unfriendly attitude toward Spain in
his reports on the Cuban question, ex-
pressing disgust that, while he blames
Spain for the neutral results Of the
war, he has no word of censure for the
Cuban insurgents, whose torches are
destroying the wealth Of the island.
In closing It's article, Ell Diario de la
Marina calls attention to the fact that
two New York newspapers, whose Gu
ban representatives are scarcely ia
vorable to Spain, maintain bureaus in
Havana under the same roof with the
ting, without much. delicacy, that the
correspondents of these newspapers
are virtually under; the wing Of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, and draw most of their
inspiration from him.
Mr.. Fishback, accompanied by Mr..
Pepper, went into the interior today
to visit Guanajay. Mr.. Calhoun spent
the day with Gen. Lee at the Ameri-
can consulate.
Capt. Gen. Weylertwent from Uncas
to Garlic on Friday, but returned to
Tunas today.
The insurgents dynamited passen-
ger train between Santa Clara and
Esperansa. The baggage car was cap
sized and the locomotiv eand three
passenger cars were derailed, but no
lives were lost.
