PANA TROUBLES.
A Member OF the National Guard
Killed While on Duty.

PANA Q1.), Dec. 30.-Earl Herring
of Company c, Springfield, H., was
shot and killed to-day while on guard
duty in East Pana. During a storm
Herring entered an old coal shed for
protection from the rain. He stumbled
over several large Jumps of coal, ana
his gun dropped and was discharged.
The ball passed through his heart.
1t is nine months to-day since union
miners left pits which are now being
operated by negroes. In aid of the
strikers, the Brotherhood of Mine
Hosting Engineers to-day called out
the day and night engineers at the
Pana Coal Company's mines. The as
sociation of the mine managers has
also called out John buddy, for eight
years mine manager of the Springside.
Within the past few days the militia
have made fifty arrests of union and
negro miners and a number of prom
inent citizens for carrying concealed
weapons. All were heavily fined Six
negroes are in the County Jail for al
legged assaults.

LAWS FOR CUBA.
The Subject of Discussion at a
Meeting of the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The Cab
met meeting to-day was not concluded
until nearly o'clock, nearly the entire
session being consumed in discussing
matters in connection with the admin
iStration of the laws in Cuba.
1t was pointed out that the collection
of the taxes and customs dues, the ad-
ministration of the laws relating to
postal matters, and the courts and
many other important branches of the
government of the island would be a
burden too heavy to be borne by the
military government assisted only by a
small staff, all more or less inexperi-
enced in such matters. Practically a
new government had to be established,
and it was agreed that the multitudin-
Gus affairs incident to such an under
standing could be successfully admin
istered only by the creation of several
bureaus, at the head of which would
be placed men of wide experience, all
to- be under the general direction of the
Military Governor. These matters were
gone over at some length, and it is ex-
pected that the several Cabinet mem
bers will take up the details of the
proposed plan at once as far as their
and submit their conclusions to the
President at an early date.
1t is proposed to duplicate in a small
way, and so far as practicable, the
systems now in for.o in the United
States, the collectors of customs and
taxes being directly responsible to the
military Government, the same as our
Secretary of the Treasury, who is
charged with these functions, is to the
President. 1t is proposed to employ
citizens of the island in every subor-
dinate capacity, if this can be done
without detriment to the service This
course, it is contended, would promote
a friendly feeling toward the United
States, and avoid the friction that nee
essarily would result from sending
among them men who are strangers to
their customs and traditions.

Huntley, four half-caste islanders and
another white man, who was ship
wrecked on the island five years ago.
Special Treasury Agent ]. K. Brown
who was stationed at Honolulu, thus
defines the position he has taken with
respect to Chinese: Il cannot assume
that the positive and explicit instruc-
tions given me by the Treasury Depart
ment when it sent me here are, or can
be, modified by my understanding of a
court decision. / shall go right ahead
rejecting Chinese who seek to land here
without the qualifications required by
United States laws. Those who same
on the Gaelic and were rejected will
have to go back to China unless the
courts here release them. Those who
come on the China, if any do come, who
are not qualified to land under the Unit
ed States laws, will follow the same
course"

Not an Abduction.

Antonio Joseph, good looking
young Portuguese, had rather un-
pleasant experience last night.
Joseph had gained the desire Of
his heart last evening when the
priest tied the knot at the altar,
which sealed the partnership for
life, which he and Anna Rodrigues,
his beloved, had decided to enter
into.
A few hours after the young
couple had received the blessing of
the Church and had retired to their
new home, police officer appeared
and, by the power of warrant, took
Joseph out OF his Paradise, and -con=
Quoted him to the Station House,
where charge of abduction was en-
tered against him.
Joseph was allowed to go on his
own recognizance, and appeared in
the District Court this morning,
looking little pale after last nights
experience.
The prosecuting officer stated
that he had no charge 10 make, as
nobody had appeared to prosecute
the defendant. The Judge told
Joseph to go home, adding that he
certainly would not have granted
warrant late at night, if the com
plant had not been endorsed by a
reputable attorney. The magistrate
could not see how a charge of alb
duction could lie against a man run
ming away with his own wife. AS a
rule men were running away from
their wives, and Joseph could GER
tainly not be punished with abduct-
ing his own wife.
Joseph and large number of his
friends then left the court room to
continue the celebration OF the in
terrupted wedding.
