Stealing the Trophies

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. l7.-Colonel
Ray, the American commander at Guantan-
ANA, reported that from that place he heard
that the United States government ship Gla-
cier had landed a number of men at the port
of Cayo del Toro and had taken possession
of two of the finest pieces of bronze cannon
there. 1t was added that the men on the
Glacier have also accidentally blown up the
arsenal Colonel Ray went to Caimanera in
order to investigate. There he saw Captain
Norman and the officers of the ship, who
positively denied knowing anything regard
ing the cannon. Colonel Ray, however, said
he had obtained his information from a re-
liable source, the British Consul being his in
formant, whereupon Captain Norman ad-
mitted taking the guns and said he took them
Tor the Secretary of the Navy. The captain
refused to furnish any further information
on the subject, and consequently it is not
known whether he acted under orders from
the Secretary of the Navy or is merely max
ing the Secretary private present. Three
similar guns have been asked for bv the
Navy Department as adornments for An
napolis and the War office granted the per
mission necessary. Captain Chester. of the
Cincinnati, will ship them North at the first
opportunity.

Wood Hard at Work

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. l1.-Gen-
eral Wood has temporarily suspended fore
closure proceedings owing to the fact that
the money "sharks" have been trying to
enforce the collection OF small amounts
loaned during the war. lie believes the
mortgagers should have a reasonable chance
to redeem.
Having satisfied himself of the incompe-
tency of the staff of meat and slaughter
house inspectors that held over from the
old regime, General Wood has dismissed the
whole force and appointed new inspectors.
Now that the cooler weather has set in,
he has issued a general order directing
regular drills.
At Guantanamo, General Perez, the mayor,
now seems to be making an earnest effort to
disband his former Cuban troops. Yes
terday one man refused to lay down hia
arms and drew his weapon on a Cuban Off
Ger, who promptly killed himin self-defense.
The incident has had a good moral effect
and the others of Perez former command
are now voluntarily relinquishing their arms
preparatory to disbanding.

NEGROES IN new YORK
HOLD A GREAT MEETING AT
COOPER UNION
Resolutions Adopted Denouncing the
Treatment Accorded the Race in
Some Southern States

NEW YORK, Nov. IA mass meeting
OF colored men and women to protest
against the recent treatment OF their race
in some OF the southern states was held to-
night in Cooper union. As precautionary
measure, the police were out III force, as
even in this city, in the Hell's Kitchen dis
trict, there has been a considerable amount
OF anti-negro sentiment. This precaution,
however, was not at all necessary, as the
gathering. although enthusiastic at times,
was very peaceable one. The hall was
crowded with colored people, with sprink-
ling of whites. n number OF prominent
white citizens sent letters commencing the
object of the meeting. During tedious
wait for the speakers, a white man with
long, flowing hair, rose in his seat in the CEN
ter aisle and shouted: "Oh, ii we only had
William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phil
lips or an Abraham Lincoln at this time!"
This evoked great applause. Thomas For
tune appeared on the stage few moments
later and took the presiding officer chair.
Mr.. Fortune, in lengthy address, told of
the race troubles in the south.
Ebenezer ID. Bassett, formerly minister
to Hayti, also spoke.
Resolutions Were adopted denouncing the
''roting and revolution which have dis
graced the states of North Carolina and
South Carolina censuring the governors
OF those states for their failure to suppress
the outbreaks against the negroes and for
their failure to invoke the aid of the Federal
authorities if they found themselves unable
to cope with the conditions, and insisting
that the just rights OF all citizens under the
constitution shall be respected. The resolu-
tions further recite that the states of Mis-
sissippi, South Carolina and Louisiana have
by constitutional action disfranchised more
than half their population, and demand that
the basis of representation of these states
in congress and the electoral college be re-
duced in the proportion of the number of
male citizens thus disfranchised.
The concluding resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That we implore the guidance
of Almighty God in the shaping of our cit-
zenship to the end that it may make for
righteousness, for human progress and for
the invinciblity of our great and beloved
republic against the elements of riotng and
revolution from within and the assaults of
enemies from without.

Colonel Ray was at first inclined to de-
mand the immediate return of the guns from
the Glacier, b ut he decided to await instrue-
tions on the matter.
A corporal OF the Third Immune Regiment
of Guantanamo, who was detailed to assist
in the free ration distribution, haa been dis
covered in cooperation with some merchants
of the town to have been swindling thd gov
ernment. Large supplies of bacon and meat
were found to have disappeared and caused
Colonel Ray to investigate the matter. He
discovered big shortage, the money value
being over $1,000, and traced the affair to the
corporal and three merchants who were
acting with him. They are all under arrest.

THE DREYFUS CASE
To Be Tried in France With the Pris-
oner Present

PARIS, Nov. LIT was announced that
NJ. Labor, counsel for Colonel Picquart,
who is now confined in the military prison
of Cherche Midi, has received authorization
to confer this afternoon with his client.
In legal circles here the belief is expressed
that the Court of Cessation will short order
the return OF Dreyfus to France from his
prison on Devils Island, off the coast of
French Guiana, on the ground that it is
impossible to carry on the examination of
the prisoner by cable, in view of the cost
of such proceeding, as well as in view of the
necessary delay.
La Petite Republique says that during
tie recent trial of NJ Zola for libel, Count
Esterhazy was overheard to say that Gen.
i,llot, former minister of war, gave him
SO, 600 francs for forging the bordereau.

miners and white strikers clashed i'll the
streets of this city again today. Several
hundred shots were fred, but the combat
ants did their shooting from behind trees
and hedges, consequently no blood was

started by an unknown negro firing upon
Wesley Pope, striker. Pope says he was
walking near the Spring Side colliery,
where the negroes are quartered, when he
was fired upon. lie secured a rifle and rein
forcements. Meantime the negroes ap-
peared in force and the shooting became
general. After several hundred shots had

French Interests

ST. JOHNS, n. T., Nov. H.-Mr. Morine,
former minister Of finance, who was the
agent of the colony before the royal COM
missioner on the French treaty shore ques-
ton, said today, in the course OF an inter
view, that he regarded the denunciation of
France by the British secretary of state for
the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, in his re-
cent speech at Manchester, as the first result
of the report made by the royal commission
ers to Mr.. Chamberlain since their arrival
in England.
The statements attributed to Mr.. Cham
berlain, according to the cabled extracts of
the speech correspond exactly, MIR. Morine
SAYS, with the sentiments to which the royal
commissioners gave expression to him before
leaving. The commissioners were amazed
beyond description at the condition OF things
revealed by the evidence placed before
them" evidence showing that the French
claims, compared with what they are en-
titled to under the treaty, are simply pre-
posterous." Mr.. Morine regards Mr.. Cham
bcrlan's speech as indicating in the clear
est manner his determination to deal ener-
getically with the whole subject" He be-
ieves that the British government will soon
propose basis Of settlement with France.

Associated Press Special Wire

WASHINGTON, Nov. lin his annual
report to the secretary of the navy, Chief
Endicott of the bureau of yards and docks
makes strong point of the necessity tor
ample docking facilities, not only for small
vessels, but for the battleships upon waters
neaA Key West. The estimates submitted
for the next year provide for only one new
dock, which is to be of the largest type, con
structed of granite and concrete and located
at the Norfolk navy yard
The estimates of the various navy yards
for the next fiscal year are as follows:
Portsmouth, N. H., S3O60O0; Boston,
Mass, $367 900; New London, Conn.,, $685.
OGO; New York, S6l2,000; League Island,
Pa, S755,97s; Washington, d. c., $205,O00;
Norfolk, Va, 81, 600 000 Isl 500, 900 being for
a new dock); Port Royal, S. C., Sl45,0O0;
Key West, Sll2, $50; Mare island, 1851, $50;
Puget sound, S5S,5O0.
Treating of this last station, Puget sound,
Chief Endicott says that if it be important
to equip first class station in that vicinity
Il new site should be selected, for the present
one has none of the desderata of good
naval station. There is no nearby popula-
tion to draw upon for skilled labor; no
available market and no direct railroad
connection with trunk line. Under these
conditions it is said to be doubtful if it is
wise to build large station at this point
The report also comments upon the fact
that no battleshp nor heavy draft cruiser
has yet approached the wharves at Mare
island, and says it remains to be demonstrate
ed that this location as a navy yard was a
| fortunate one. Attention is called to the
fact that the Oregon was compelled to go
500 miles north to Puget sound to be docked,
| While the government could construct
ample dock facilities on San Francisco lAy,
this would still be l50 miles north of the
southern boundary of the United States
where it is quite as important to have a
naval station as on the northern boundary at
Puget sound. Therefore it is recommended
that board of experienced officers be di
rected to give attention to the establishment
OF such a station near the southern limits
OF the Pacific coast

next fiscal year aggregate SO .347, ,42l.

to take her own life. He denies that he
wronged her, and accuss her of attempting
to backmail him. He also says that she

that he took pistol from her, but regarded
the affair as joke.
The bullet Miss Heithier fired entered the

the wound will produce inflammation, and
in that case they can hold out small hopes
for recovery. Mrs. Gonzales, her aunt, is at

Stole All He Could Before Committing

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia telegram
has been received by Mr.. Dawes, the comp

in charge OF the First National bank at

animation OF all Kansas banks which had
