Wounded Street Car Passengers and Sew
CraI Spanish Soldiers, who Finally
Fired Upon Them.
HAVANA, Dec. ia crowd of Gu
bans Of the lower class, firing shots
into the air in celebration of the evacu-
alton of Cerro, stopped street cars and
compelled passengers to shout viva
Cuba lbre." Among the demonstra-
tors were a number of butchers, who
carried pistols and knives. Jose Gan
cedo and his cousin, Teodoro Huertas,
who were on the curb, were wounded
with knives. Gancedo died and Huer-
tas will probably die.
Later the crowd met some engineers
at the Esquina de Tejas and fired upon
them, seriously wounding one. They re-
turned the fire, wounding a street car
conductor, civilian, Osodoro Basols
and John Leonard, colored man.
The rioting continued, many shots
being fired in front of the Casa de
Socorro, where the wounded were as.
sisted.
Spanish soldiers were ordered to the
scene. While marching through Cerro
they were fired upon by men concealed
behind pillars. One Spanish soldier
fell wounded and the battalion fred
into the air to scare the rioters. On re-
suming their march they were again
fred upon and another man was hit.
The Spaniards then fired and dispersed
the rioters.
Among the wounded was a colored
woman, and it is also reported that there
were several others.

AGAINST EXPANSION.
Less Than 1000 Signed Petit
tions to the Senate.
THESE ARE FROM 81 STATES.
Senator PIntt TO Commence an Answer
to Vest In the senate Today The
Peace Treaty Likely to BE Ratified at
This Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Senator Platt
of Connecticut is expected to begin a
reply today to the speech of Senator
Vest on expansion, made last Monday,
and as he has given very careful atten-
ton to the extension of our territorial
area no little interest is manifested
among senator's in his presentation of
the matter, and it is not improbable,
unless the Nicaragua bill prevents, that
the speech will precipitate more or
less general debate upon this question.
Whether it does or not a number of
speeches on the same subject will be
made after the Christmas holidays pre-.
paratory to the consideration of the
peace treaty.
1t is hoped that the treaty will be
taken up for discussion early in Janu.
ary. Already therei is talk of the proba-
bility of disposing of the treaty during
the present session, and the impression
favorable to this result is growing. A
few senators manifest a disposition to
debate the treaty at length, and some
profess unalterable opposition, but the
feeling is 50 strong against an extra
session and in favor of the postpone
ment Of the settlement of the DISPOSE
ton of the Philippines after they come
into our possession, that it now seems
that even the minority will consent to
the treaty's ratification without mate
rial delay.
The friends of the treaty, who are
giving attention to the closest details of
opposition as they develop themselves,
have taken the pains to have enumer-
ated the names of the signers to the
memorials against annexation which
have reached the senate, and they find
that there are fewer than 1000 of them,
distributed among the states as follows:
Massachusetts, ,435; West Virginia,
l0l; Indiana, "a; Ohio, so; Flori da, Al;
New York, 45; Virginia, 80; Vermont
30; Maryland, 10; Pennsylvania and Ill
nois, Is each; Rhode Island, l2; New
Hampshire, 6; California and Missouri,
3 each; Wisconsin and Tennessee, 2
each, and Maine, Colorado. Iowa and
Nevada, | each.

were busy those days, but the gangs were

of them remains.

He secured Chinatown until he found a

and never has Chinatown learned the

In the up town districts MoCullagh
did good work also, and his ability was
recognized. He was made inspector and
afterward chief When Brooklyn and the
adjoining Long Island cities and towns
were incorporated into the Greater New
York, McCullagh reorganized and copsoli-
dated the various police forces. This was

ity. 1t was far greater undertaking than
the organization of police force in Ha-
yana
Chief McCullagh had the reputation OF
being one Of the best looking men on the
New York police force. He has round,
smooth face, a highly colored, clear com.
plexion, square shoulders and the general
build of an athlete.
He was also one of the finest horsemen
among that big body of expert riders
During the police parade Of 1896 McCul
lagh led his men. He was mounted on 0
| big black charger, which seemed to be toe

into storm of cheers. Perhaps the peo
pie OF Havana will soon have an opportu
nifty to see specimen of Chief McCul
lagh's equestrianship.
The American officials In Havana will
find Chief MoCullagh good fellow social
ly He IL good natured, even tempered
and companionable. When he has tim,

WANTS BALLOT REFORM, .

.0 HnUua a'Vff3T n
suegestlohs Msde by the Secretary OF
yfS 90 e'stste Of Pennsylvania.
HARRISBURG, Dec. 19.-David Martin,
secretary of the commonwealth, has
transmitted to Governor Hastings his
biennial report for the past two fiscal
years. During the two years ended
Dec. last the department received as
fees for letters pateDt and for the filing
of corporation papers, $Bl $40, and from
commissions ana other miscellaneous
sources, SIS, ,525.5l. There was collected
since the close of the last session of the
Ley gislature ) ,U56, ,JSl.47 as bonus upon
charters and increases in capital stock.
There was "A falling of in the corpora
ton receipts of the department during
the period covered by the report and an
increase IN all other branches of the
office.
MIR. Martin suggested that the legis-
lature should pass an entirely new and
complete ballot reform bill covering the
whole subject and embodying the best
results of ballot reform in other states.
He thinks the Massachusetts law has
much to commend it, but there are
many places in which it could be i'm
proved. He believes the legislature
should specifically define which columns
are entitled TO the circles and which are
not and that such legislation will be en-.
acted on this question as to remove
every obstacle in the way of the full
exercise of the right Of suffrage, rem.
der fraud impossible and provide sim.
pie and complete form of ballot.
Mr.. Martin says the objection to du-
plication of columns on the ballot
could be largely removed by assembling
all the candidates for each office to be
filled in groups in a single column. He
thinks there should be legislative dec.
laration as to what constitutes politi-
cal party entitled to nominate state
ticket to appear on the ballot in all the
counties.

WILL QUIETsHAYANA
NEW YoRK'S Ex-cHlEF OF POLICE
CHOSEN FOR THE JOB.

McCulIngh, the Man who Broke Up
the "whyo" Gang and Cleaned the
"BIoody sixth" Has Gone 20 Tame
the Riotous Volunteers.
People who do not know John W. Mo.
Cullagh, the man who has been sent down
TO Havana to organize police force there,
may imagine that he has undertaken too
] big contract, but New Workers who do
know MoCullagh believe him to be the
right man in the right place.
Most likely they are right. The Span.
iards and the Cubans are behaving rather
badly In Havana just now, and things are
at skies and sevens generally. There will
be grand shaking up when MoCullagh
gets TO work. He has had just the kind
of experience which fits man TO grapple
with situations Of this kind He was on
the New York police force for 2S years,
beginning as humble patrolman and
ending as chief.
During those long years Of service John
McCullagh handled lawbreakers of all
sorts. Ono Of his first exploits was the
breaking up of that famous gang Of thugs,
thieves and murderors known as the
"Whyos." If the Havana volunteers who
are said to be responsible for much of the
disorder in Havana are worse than the
"Whyos," then they are like no other
Spaniards who have ever been heard of.
1t is probable that one "Whyo" tough
would have been equal to half dozen Ha-
vana volunteers.
Chief MoCullagh was born In Ireland
about SO years ago, and he landed in New
York when he was 81. For year or so
he worked as a coach driver, but he soon
tired Of this, and, as he had an uncle who
was police captain, he applied for po-
sition on the force He was soon assigned
to the mounted squad and became an ex-
pert horseman. He was promoted to
roundsman and then 60 sergeant After
l3 years Of service he was made captain.
His second assignment was TO the Bloody
Sixth" precinct. He was told to "olean
1t up" He did 1t.
In the Bloody Sixth" comprising the
Five Points district, were several long or
ganized bands Of toughs. These gangs no
former police captain had been able to
break up. There were the Leather
Heads" the inmates of the "Big Flats"
the "Five Pointers" and the ''Whyos." I"
McCullagh went after them. He had
barely assumed command when he put on
a disguise and went personally into the
resorts OF the most dangerous criminals
He fraternized with the touRhs and learned
their secrets Ho heard their sneers at the
new police captain and listened TO their
threats. For fortnight the criminals
had their own way.
Then MoCullagh put on his uniform,
gathered big squad of men and swooped
down on the thugs. He arrested the lead
ers on all sorts of charges, old and new,

NEW YORK, Dec. l0.-Maior General
Wesley Merritt. late commander Of the
United States military forces in the
Philippine islands, from which post he
was called to Paris to consult with the

THE HOLIDAY RECESS.
House Likely to Vote For IL TO Com
menCe Wednesday - Appropriation
Bills Well Advanced.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.--The holiday
recess, by the terms Of the resolution re-
ported by the ways and means commit.
tee, is to begin Thursday and extend
until Wednesday, Jan. 4. 1t is likely,
however, that the resolution will be
amended so as TO make the recess begin
Wednesday instead of Thursday.
The appropriation bills are farther
advanced now than they have been for
many years at the short session. Already
the naval and army deficiency, a special
bill and three of the regular bills-the
pension, District of Columbia and
indian-have passed the house. The
agricultural bill was reported and will
be taken up tomorrow. Four of the
regular money budgets, out of the 10
will, therefore, have passed the lower
house before the holiday recess, an un.
procedented thing in legislative annals.
The military academy bill could have
been added to this list had it not been
that Chairman Hull Of the military af.
fairs committee declined to allow the
attention of the committee to be drawn
from the bill for the increase of the
army even for the limited time required
to prepare the academy bill. The lat
ter, however, will be reported before
the recess. The friends OF the naval
personnel bill and the bill for the Phila.
delphia exposition of 1899 have been
urging the committee on rules to grant
time for their consideration.
Time will be allotted for the former
bill soon after the house reconvenes
after the holiday recess 1t is possible
that the Philadelphia exposition bill
may be called up and placed upon it's
passage today under the rules as it is
suspension day. The bill to extend the
navigation laws Of the United States
over Hawaii, which was pending Sat-
urday when the house adjourned, may
also be voted upon under suspension Of
the rules,
