Officer Kinds Has Hot Time.

Special Officer Kinds had a hard ex-
perience with three toughs on Ticoni7
street, Sunday night. and in spite of
the stiff fight that he put up all three
of the men succeeded in getting away
from him.
Shortly after dark, the three men
We're creating disturbance and he
started to arrest one of them The mo-
ment an attempt at an arrest was
made the other two Joined. Finally in
self-defence, Officer Kinds was forced
to draw his club, but not until he had
been forced onto his knees in the mud.
When the officer started to strike with
his club the, force of the blow was
warded of by one of the other men.
The officer finally put his twisters onto
one of the men and took him as far as
the station.
When the officer reached the station
he knew from the tough fight he had
had with his man that it would be use
less to attempt to put the man into the
station alone and waited for Deputy
Marshal Woodbury.. Before the depu-
ty had arrived the man worked his
hands loose in the twister and ESCAPED
During the fight Officer Kinds was
rather thoroughly used up. Once he
was forced to the ground on his elbow
by one of the men and his coat was

RECALLED TO AMERICA.
Coils. Hecker and Lee Ordered Home from
Havana Considered Highly Significant.

Havana, Oct. 30.-Si0 p. M-Col.
Hecker and Col. Lee of the United
States special transportation ccmmis-
sion, received cablegrams from Wash
ington, last night. directing their re-
turn to Washington by the first avail
able steamer. The messages, which
were from Secretary Alger. were very
brief, simply directing the recipients to
report to the war department and there
is considerable perplexity as to the
object of the recall.
Replies We're Immediately cabled TO
Washington, but up to the hour of fill
ing this dispatch, no rejoin5er had been
received, thus leaving the matter of
Col. Heckers departure doubtful
though Col. Lee will leave. tomorrow,
by the Ward Line steamer Senaca.
The supposition is that the death of
Col. George Z. ,Waring, sJr., in New
York City has necessitated some
change in the plans of the war de-
partment. Gen. Wade and Lieut. Col
Clous had a long conference with Col
Lee and Col. Hecker, this afternoon.
Col. Lees departure will leave the
commission on transportation and the
selection of camp sites without a chair
man and the quartermaster's depart
ment without disbursing officer.
DR.. O'Reilly, upon whom the chair
manship of the two commissions will
devolve. will be appointed to Gen.
Wade's staff as head quartermaster
The impression is general here among
the Americans that the recall of Coils.
Lee and Hecker at this particular
juncture is highly significant.

Porto Rico at Washington, when the
time comes for settling the administra-
tive system.
The assembly was fairly represented
and although the proceedings gave I'M
due prominence to ulimportant details
there was abundant evidence of Intel
ligent reflection on the part of the del
egates and a determination not to toll
crate partisan politics at this crisis in
the islands affairs.
Carefully prepared reports were sub
mitted by the political, social ar eco
nomieal commissions. The nest
ing received with enthusiasm the reso-
buttons demanding territorial rights
the cessation of the present military
rule and the installation of regular civil
government.
Other resolutions We're adopted ask
ing an S-hour day for the laboring man
and severely denouncing the present
corrupt system of registering deeds OF

1t was obvious that the delegates
would proceed upon the assumption
that the United States would grant
Porto Rico territorial rights.
