Havana Police system

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Former Chief OF
Police John McCullagh, who will leave for
Havana today to advise General Greene in
regard to the establishment of police force
in the Cuban capital, will recommend the es-
tab!ishment of block system.
This system is both simple and practical -
said he 1T consists in having policemen
stationed permanently in sub-stations in the
streets within four or five blocks of one
another All the sub-stations should be CON
nected with the precinct stations and head.
quarters by an Independent telephone sys-
TEN.
1T would be impossible for a crime to be
committed or an accident to occur more than
two and one-half blocks away from one OF
the sub stations, where policeman could
always be found The great difficulty of the
present system is that policeman may be
doing his duty faithfully and still be long
distance away when wanted. Under the
block system every citizen would know ex-
actly where to find a policeman close at
hand.
Information could be teephoned to head
quarters and sent ont from there smultane-
ousy through the entire city in a very short
time, placing the whole force on guard.
The Chief could sit in his office and be
in constant touch with the entire force. thus
making impossible the delay and confusion
incident to the present system. The patrol
ling could be done and the block system
maintained with fewer men than are now
required and protection to the life and prop.
erty would be much more effective"

A Joyous Occasion

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. s.-There
has been great rejoicing today In connection
with the fete Purissima Conception. Yes
terday's mourning emblems were exchanged
for glorious decorations in the cathedral,
and sorrowful music gave way to joyous.
Abbe Bernardo preached an eloquent ser
mon to a congregation that crowded the
cathedral. In inspiring words he called
upop all Cubans to rejoice upon the termlna'
ton of the 400 years of cruelty, extortion ana
misery, and show their gratitude to the
United States for the happy consumma.lon:
He eulorized General Wood, governor OF
the military department OF Santiago, say.
ing that he rejoiced TO hear that General
Woods name had been sent to the United
States senate with recommendation that
he be raised to the rank OF major general.
"And | can only hope" said the priest,
"that General Woods name Will be sent
n week later with recommendation that
he is appointed lieutenant general and be
made governor general of the island of
Cuba during the American military occupa-
ton"
The Tndependencia, an enterprising local
sheet, published 500 words OF telegraphie
resume of President Mckinley's message to
congress. which was the topic OF converse
ton at all clubs and other centers of in

freedom of Cuba and the establishment
forthwith of Cuban government-all fac

the sanitation and policing OF the city.
The preparation for a change of flags is
thus being brought about by degrees, and

is complete, except for the troops stationed
in the city. OF these there are 10000

particularly at the fact that bullets reached
the camp of the Fifth Immunes, which
proves that the shots were not fired by the
Cubans, who fired voleys in the air from

ANOTHER DUCAL CLAIM
Based on Coffin Filled With
Stones

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-A dispatch to the
World from London says:
The Johannesburg correspondent of the
Mail telegraphs: "a remarkable story was
told today during the hearing of a charge
of fraud against Charles Gum. A statement
was put in by the prisoner In which he de-
clared that he was the brother OF the late
Duke of Hamilton and left England after
fighting a duel. For private reasons his
death was formally announced and sham
funeral took place.
''Gunn asserts that Robinson, of Rother-
wellbaugh, filled coffin which was sent to
Hamilton palace and placed in the mauso-
leum, and says if the coffin is opened and
examined his statement can be verified"
The late Duke of Hamilton died May l6,
1895, leaving no son, and was succeeded by
his knsman, Alfred Douglas Hamilton.
The late Dukes only brother was Charles
George Archibald. 1t is recorded in Burke
Peerage that Charles was born May H.
lSi7, and died childless in May, 1886. Ii
Charles can prove that he is alive he may
get the Dukedom and vast wealth.
