SANTIAGO De CUBA AFFAIRS
System of Municipal Taxation
to be lnaugurated.
TAXES RETROACTIVE to- SEPT. |
A Monthly Revenue of $780,
600 Expected.


Santiago de Cuba, Oct, 4,-Gen,
Wood proposes TO inaugurate a system
of municipal taxation, making the
taxes retroactive TO September LIST. The
funds of the customhouse cannot legally
be taken for municipal improvements
here or in this vicinity, though the
present surplus is 100000. Conse-
quently, another source of revenue has
to be obtained. There has been law
to tax and license every business and
everybody, but since the occupation of
Santiago by the American troops these
taxes have not been collected. Now,
however, the minimum rates will be
exacted, bringing in revenue of $780,
600 per month, which is badly needed
for local improvements. 1t is the policy
of Gen. Wood to spend all he can
legitimately upon Santiago, which is
the exact opposite of the system
adopted by the Spaniards. Water in
the dry season costs % cents per barrel
Gen Woods plan is to bore artesian
wells, and obtain a plentiful supply of
water.
Santiago can stand the expenditure
of a lot of money on improvements,
and Gen. Wood proposes constructing
bouleyards around the city, thus
practically extending its limits and
making the outskirts the most popular
portion, but there is no idea of unduly
taxing the people. The general will
merely raise sufficient money to. carry
on the municipal government in a
satisfactory manner. A committee con-
sisting of two American officers and
two Cubans has been appointed to con-
slider the best legal measures to be
adopted under the circumstances.
Gen. Calixto Garcia called on Gen.
Wood yesterday. He proposes going
to Washington to advocate Gen. Woods
$50 plan of disbanding the Cuban
army.
Gen. Wood will leave here today, to
be present at the evacuation of Man
zanillo. He will continue the functions
of the local Spanish authorities and all
other arrangements.
Col Ray claims that 70 per cent of
his regiment have been sick from lack
of fresh beef.

Inability of tho 1radesmens National Banl
of New York City TO Clear.

of New York City TO Clear.
New York, Oct. 4.-7The Tradesmens
National Bank, No. 260 West Broad
way, did NOT clear through the cleari1 G.
house, of which it is a member, today
This fact led to an investigation, and
it developed that the bank is in serious
trouble.
The clearinghouse committee visited
the bank yesterday and, after care
full examination of its securities, found
its capital impaired, and advised an
early liquidation.
The Tradesmens National Bank is
one of the oldest and one of the best
known institutions of its kind in this
city. II was organized in the early
part OF this century and, while never a
leader among the banks of this city,
was always regarded as very sound and
conservative in it's business dealings.
Less than A year ago, it absorbed one
of the smaller banks in the wholesale
dry goods district. The bank occupies
quarters in the Wool Exchange Build
ing. Two members of the exchange
suspended business temporarily few
days ago. At that time, it was de-
clared that the bank was in no degree
concerned in the suspension of the ex-
change, although it was not denied
that it had many wool accounts. 1t
had also been rumored that the bank
would be absorbed by one of the larger
institutions in. the financial quarter.
This report was promptly denied by
President MacNaughton, who declared
that the bank was perfectly solvent.
The capital of the Tradesmens Ma
tional Bank is $3.50, 600.
In the banking districts, the opinion
that the troubles of the Wool Exchange
are indirectly responsible for the
Tradesmens National Banks troubles
is EXPRESSED,

ia. CLEMMER SENTENCED
The Death Penalty Pronounced
at NOrristoWn, Pa,
by Judge Weand.
PRISONER WEpT; COURT AFFECTED
Convicted Man Was Told That
He Might Hope for a New
Trial, But Was Advised
to Make His Peace
With His Maker.

Norristown, Pa, Oct! flames A.
Clemmer, who was convicted Of COM
plicity with Charles o. Kaiser in the
murder OF the latter's wife, was SEN
fenced by Judge Weand, today, to be
hanged.
The governor will fix the date of the
hanging.
After reviewing the case, Judge
Weand overruled motion for arrest of
judgment, and refused Clemmer new
trial. Attorney Brownback then stated
that he would take exceptions to the
judges rulings and carry the case to
the Supreme Court. While the judge
was going over the reasons assigned
for new trial, Clemmer was one of
the most interested persons in the
crowded court room. When the judge
had finished reading the reasons, he
told Clemmer to stand.
"Have you anything to say before
the sentence of death is passed upon
your" asked the judge.
AT first Clemmer looked about the
room, and was at loss as to what to
say. Finally, he said: at is useless
for me to stand here and declare my
innocence in this matter, on account Of
the malice brought to bear by the
people of the county. My attorneys
have filed many reasons, in which they
are of the opinion that | should have a
new trial, and I think it is useless for
me at this time to say anything"
Judge Weand then said: "You left
your wife and family to live with a
woman who you knew had a bad repu-
tation. You have none but yourself to
blame for the position in which you
now find yourself. You may still hope
for new trial, but the advice of the
court is that you make your peace with
your Maker. The sentence of the court
is that you, James A. Clemmer, be
hanged by the neck until you are dead,
and may God have mercy on your soul. y
While the sentence was being pro-
nounced, everyone in the court room
was requested to stand. When the
judge had finished, Clemmer wept.
The judge was also affected. While
being taken back to Jail, Clemmer still
maintained that he was innocent.

Keynotes of the BnItimore Convention.


Returning delegates from the conven-
tion of the Brotherhood Of st. Andrew,
just closed in Baltimore, addressed a
meeting Of Wilmington Assembly of
the Brotherhood in Trinity Church on
Monday. Bishop Coleman otficiated
and the vested choir assisted in the
service. Addresses were made by G.
Elmer Jemison of Michigan, Sergeant
John Fl. Poyton of the United States
Engineer Corps, General Secretary John
W. Wood of the brotherhood, and the
Rev. Henry Ward Cunningham of Cal
vary Church.
Mr.. Jemison said that the one i'm
preston which he took from the con-
vention was of healthfulness, the mem
bers were not expecting to die soon
and were applying themselves how best
to live. Sergeant Peyton found that
the paramount impression he obtained
was one of manliness. From his ex-
perience in the army he knew the temp
tations to which young men are ex-
posed, and the Brotherhood has de-
termined so far as possible, to try and
alleviate such conditions. Already
Brotherhood tent has been established
at Camp Wykoff and others are to be
established in other camps, If possible.
The sergeant is to resign from the army
in order to pursue this work under the
permission of the War Department.
The Rev. Mr.. Cunningham recorded
his impression, in addition to that of
healthfulness and of manliness, as one
of business-consecrated business. He
hoped that new life would come to the
Wilmington chapters.
General Secretary Wood, in review
ing the convention, said that the
Brotherhood essentially represented the
church at work. The convention COM
prised 1,200 men of all classes, earnest,
vigorous men. The meetings were
marked by saneness, lack of cant, no
emotionalism, and the convention stands
for an expression of the best life and
the best purpose.
After the meeting in the church the
Brotherhood men went to the parish
house, where Mr.. Wood conducted an
informal meeting.

ing Tuesday of the reception accorded
troops Monday. He declared that the
there was no patriotism in Whining
ton, being much put out at the lack Of
enthusiasm.
There arc men in the two battalions
here who would be glad TO remain in
the service, and men in the Third Bat
talon at Camp Meade who would like
to be mustered out. An effort is to be
made to satisfy both classes. II is TO-
ported that some men who secured sub
stitutes, expecting to be relieved of
service, have been retained, much to
their dissatisfaction.
I Although eight of the companies are
to be mustered out, any plan for reor-
ganizing the National Guard of Della
ware have not been made.
New Castle, Oct. 4.--Never before
in this city was there such reception
as that rendered to the members of
90. FL on their arrival here last evening.
Yesterday afternoon Lieut.. Holcomb,
who has been in charge of the company
since. the accident to Capt. Rogers,
stated that the men would probably
reach this city in the evening, and
efforts were at once put forth to make
the reception royal one. Tho men
arrived at the Delaware railroad station
at 7.05 O'Clock, land headed by the First
Regiment Band and the police force
marched through the streets. On Della
ware street near Fourth the music was
stopped, the home of Corporal Whit
mack, who is seriously i'll, being very
near. After. passing the armory the
band played Marching Through
Georgia. /" This was followed by
Home, Sweet Home" and after the
parade they stopped in front of the
armory and rendered "Home Again. I"
Everywhere the streets were filed with
pans of red, white and blue fires.
Shortly after entering the armory, the
Rev. r.. Irving Watkins, pastor of
Nazareth M. E. Church, delivered the
address of welcome, in response to
which the members Justify gave "three
cheers for Mr.. Watkins"
On behalf of the soldier boys Chap
lain Munson, next spoke. He alluded
feelingly to one of their number, Ed
ward Whitnack, who is very i'll. He
also called attention to the fact that
the youngest member of the battalion
was Eddie Truitt of this city, who was
the bugler.
The call to mess was made by Lieut..
Holeomb, when the blessing was asked
by the Rev. Fletcher Clark of Phila-
delphia, who has been supplying the
pulpit of Emmanuel Church during the
absence of Chaplain Munson.
The boys did ample justice to the
meal and appeared to appreciate the
efforts of the people to welcome them.
The armory presented a handsome
sight being decorated with flags and
bunting to such an extent that but
little Of the walls could be seen. The
tables and the horizontal bars and
other parts of the armory were beauti-
fully trimmed with smilax and cut
flowers.

g. j. Moriarity has been matched to
meet Owen Ziegler of Philadelphia in
a 25-round match at Coney Island next
Monday night, and, although he has
only six days in which to train, expects
to come out of the contest with flying
colors. 1t is likely, however, that
Ziegler will outweigh him by 10 or 10

morning, on the application of Andrew
e. Sanborn, a postponement was
granted in the matter Of argument on
the application for the appointment of
receivers for the Arlington mills, next
Saturday morning at IL O'Clock being
the time fixed. Mr.. Sanborn made the

representation that Mr.. Bird had
another important business engagement
which prevented him from attending

present with their clients, James and
John Greer of Philadelphia, with the
expectation that the matter would be
argued today.
When court opened Mr.. Sanborn
asked that the case be continued until
Thursday, giving his reason. Mr..
Hartman objected to a postponement,
stating that he and his colleague had
gone to the trouble to bring into court
their clients, who are busy men, and
he expressed the wish that If post
ponement should DO necessary IN early
day would be fixed and that the mat
ter would be argued on the day so
fixed.
Judge Bradford informed Messrs.
Hartman and Knowles that their clients
had no standing in court, in view of
the fact that they had not INTERVIEWED
in the suit, and for that reason they
had no right to object or assent to any
thing He stated, however, that they
would be given an opportunity to in
tervene and their wishes would be re-
spected. Mr.. Hartman stated that a
petition to intervene would be filed
Tuesday afternoon.
