in Provincial Affairs.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 25.-Some
time ago Major McLeary, whom General
Wood had appointed Mayor of Santiago,
requested to be relieved Of his, mayoralty
duties and 10 return 20 his military post
This request was granted to-day.
in the opinion of General Wood, it is
preferable to appoint to the mayoralty q
civilian acceptable to the Cubans, and
he has appointed as Major McLeary's
successor Senior Bacardi. an old resident
He is anxious TO give the Mayor as much
authority as is compatible with military
jurisdiction. The new Mayor will con-
form TO General Woods ideas. which
are 10 give the Cubans every opportunity
TO show themselves capable of self-goy-
ernment.
Major McLeary as a Military Mayor,
gave entire satisfaction to all classes.
lie has now been assigned to~the duties
of inspector-general Of the Province. and
will shortly take a tour. including Hol-
gum, Jibara. BaracOa Sagua De Tanamo,
and other points, making reports TO Cen
eral Wood.
The first official act OF Mayor Ba-
cardi was 10 discharge the entire cleri-
cal force in the mayors office and 20 EN-
piOy Cubans who had served In the war.
He will shortly issue a manifesto to the
effect that he intends encouraging the
citys development and giving employ
ment as far as conditions will permit 10
worthy persons. General Wood has high
hopes Of this first attempt at civil gov
ernment under Cuban control.
General Wood has given his approval
to a scheme for a school for the higher
education of women similar to the Amer
ical normal school.
To-day he issued a notice imposing a
fine of $1,000 upon any person promoting
n bull fight and a fine Of $50 upon any
,.t. Of. Agly frg1,f In ft.. ..t
of a cock fight the fine will fall upon
witnesses as well as promoters.
The rural police have been instructed
TO keep a special lookout along the tele-
graph line between Santiago and San Luis
as the peasant farmers are still cutting
the wire and using it to bale hay ana

Province is now virtually complete. The

A HEAVY FAILURE.
A Kansas Cattle Man Assigns With
Liabilities OF Over "a Million.

ABlLNE. KAN, Nov. 25.-A failure in-
yONing cattle interests throughout the
southwest was precipitated here to-day.
when an attachment suit for $1,000 was
filed against Grant &. Glllett. OF WOOD
bine, by the Gillespie Commission COM
Dany OF Kansas city.
Gillett controls thousands OF cattle on
the southwest ranges and his Liabilities
are believed TO be over a million dollars.
II is now known that on Monday of the
present week Gillett made an assign
ment and deed OF trust OF all his holdings

for Texas. Mr. Nail, however, refused

The career OF Grant G. Gillett has been
of the sky-rocket order. He f. but thirty

-Four years ago he lived on a mortgaged
quarter section OF land near Woodoine.
where he began his cattle trade BY FEED
ing steers TOR others. In this ne was
successful and on the little ranch ne laid
the ground work OF a business which has
enabled him 10 handle over 10000 cattle
within the last three years. His methods
were as novel as they We're daring. Soon
he seemed 10 have unlimited credit. He
bought great dnoves OF cattle In Texas
and brought them north for sale and

bratcd cowboy" band. composed of
plainsmen in his employ and when he
rode about the country In his special
car ne took his band Of musicians with
him. He even took them Into eastern

ton.

In the history OF mankind 1t has been

TWO CAUSES.

bloodshcd which have recently occurred
