The police of the Eighth precinct are

more than a week. Saturday nightweek he
made an attempt to gain admittance TO
the residence of Senator Thomas Fl. Car
ter, of Montana, at No. 1896 Staughton

had secured anything.
Several days prior to the occurrence two
suspicious looking men were seen in the

rob the Senator < residence
Mr.. Carter was in Norfolk, and was not
expected home for about week, but he
returned une xpectedly on Saturday night.
That evening Mrs Carter had occasion
to go 10 the back porch, where she stumbled
against man who was hiding in dark
corner.
Mrs Carter was not frightened. but made
an attempt to seize the intruder, and at
the same time called TO her husband. When
the Senator reached the porch he saw the
form of a man sliding do!yn one of the
posts which supports the veranda, and
endeavoring to get away as rapidly as pos
sible. Mr. Carter happened to have
drinking glass in his hand at the time and
this he threw at the would-be burglar
His aim was unerring for the tumbler

must have inflicted deep cut as the glass
was shattered by the blow.
The would-be burglar beat hasty
retreat until he was in the darkness. Mrs
Carter was able TO give but a vague descrip-
tion of the man, as owing to the darkness
she could not see his face. The police be-
lieve him to be an amateur
The police service above Florida avenue

WILL CUBA BE BOUGHT
A Story Current That the Gigantic Sugar
Trust Wants the Island.

Trust Wants the Island.
WASHINGTON, June GA story is
current that the sugar trust has evolved
or accepted ambitious suggestion
that Cuba is substantially for sale, and
might as well become sugar planta-
ton for gigantic corporation, sup
ported by the sympathy and the inter
est of our country. In other words
that we might have a West India
company, as England had an
East India company and Hud-
son Bay company, each of which
aided vastly in the extension of
the British empire. 1t is said that the
Spanish minister to the United States
cabled recently to Madrid reports of
the disposition of our government to
decline to interfere by force and also
to support Cuban autonomy, and that
this cable prevented the recall
of Weyler when a change in the
Spanish ministry was in the air to
send to Cuba Campos, who closed the
ten years war with cash in hand, and
might do the same job now by the
same means, much cheaper than Spain
can keep 200, 600 soldiers in the field.
Col. John J. McCook is the man credit
ed with the imagination to conceive
the capture of Cuba with cash as
means of peace. This, as Col. McCook
understands it. is merely a matter of
business.
The advantage to the Spaniards
would be peace and the extinction of
some hundred millions of hopeless
debt, for the creditors of Spain would
be glad to scale her obligations, and
she would have a large sum of money
in hand, instead of Cuba of blood
and ashes on her hands. The gain to
Cuba would be government by a cor
poration, limited, instead of a crown
absolute, and there could be
contract guaranteeing civil liberty to
the people on United States models

At the afternoon meeting the con-

which had been published, was form
ally ratified and adopted. Mr.. Debs
explained at length the aims and pur-
poses of the cooperative common
wealth. A colony should be sent to
Washington, from which place he said
an official invitation had been received.
After esta blishing the colony he would
secure control of the politics of the
state and start the cooperative COM
monwealth. 1.-The first thing we would
do after getting control" he said,
would be to call special session of
the legislature. Then we would call a
convention to revise the constitution
and get all the rot out of it. We will
have control of the taxing power and
run tax syndicates and land sharks out
of the state Mr.. Debs said in that
setting up the cooperative common
wealth in Washington the colonists
might be running up against the SUI
preme court. He would consult good
lawyers and learn just what the rights
of the colonists were. I'VE want to
know our rights" he said, land make

itary to invade our rights then there
will be an army of 800, 900 patriots on
