stranger, Que James German, to
Chiyington, were found by Sheriff
Mckenzie, drowned in the Queen
reservoir. Later. On the buggy also
was found. For several DAYS no
trace of either man could be found,
but on Sunday last Mr.. A. n. Par
rish discovered the body of Maroney
on the east side Of the Queen reser-
yoir. The indications were that the
body had foated around for several
days.
1t was also learned that on Sun
day August 10th, that the stranger
James German, had walked to Chiv-
ington and had taken an east bound
Missouri Pacific train for some point
in Kansas. He was neatly attired
and his clothing and person bore no
evidences OF bath in the Queen
reservoir. The indications were
that the team had gone into the res
ervoir Saturday afternoon while driy-
ing towards ChiYiugton. The team
had evidently been driven into what
was supposed to be a shallow place
in the reservoir, but had gone INTO
water ten feet in depth.
The indications pointed to the
fact that the stranger had likewise
gone into the water but had got out
and hastily changed clothing, leay-
ing behind a sock and a pair of draw
ers. The only explanation which
Gorman gave OF his arrival on foot
in Chivington on the following day
was that drunken man had driven
him over from Lamar and had made
him walk most of the way. That he
had become tired OF the performance
aud had dismissed the driver and
team before reaching ChivIngton and
had walked IN.
A coroner's inquest was held at
the reservoir on last Monday by
Coroner ] W. Moerke, OF Kiowa
county. 1t is reported that the jury
brought in a verdict charging foul
play on the part of james Gorman.
On Monday Sheriff Mckenzie re.
ceiyed a dispatch from Sheriff Bell
of Dodge City, that German had
been arrested at Salina Kansas. He
is wanted at Dodge City for stealing
SS5 90 from the Harvey eating house
but will probably be turned over to
the Kiowa county authorities for
murder.
The account in last weeks Regis
ter did an injustice to Harry Leon.
The complaint against him for com
plicity in the alleged larceny of the
team was dismissed as there was no
evidence whatever of any crime on
his part He was simply an inno-
cent agent in the hiring of the team.

May 81 Set For Pay Day.

Havana, May 20.-The order for the pay
ment of the Cuban troops and the deliv-
cry of their arms to the mayors Of the
various municipalities under the super-
vision of the civil governors was signed
by Governor-General Brooke today, but as
yet 1t has not been published and could be
suppressed were reasons for such a course
to arise during the next forty-eight hours.
The impression here is that the news re-
ports from Washington have been at
variance with official understanding, both
here and there.
The payment of the troops has been set
for May q. The payments will be con-
tinued at other places In the province day
by day thereafter.
The provincial governors will meet with
General Brooke in Havana on June to dis
cuss the affairs of the island. Ma1or-Gen-
eral Leonard Wood, military governor of
the department of Santiago and Brigadier-
General Louis H. Carpenter. commanding 9
the department of Puerto Principe were
directed by wire today to be here Non tina t
date and the governors Of the nearer de-
partment will receive orders later.
Senior Capote. secretary Of government in
General Brooke's advisory council, will
present to the governor-general on Tuesday
next an estimate of the revenues of all the
municipalities in the island, showing reve-
nues to be 5000 900 per quarter less than the
requirements. This estimate will be accom-
panied by a request that the annual short
age of 81, 100000 be paid out of the customs.
This measure is intended to offset local
complaints that the municipal taxation, ac-
cording to the reformed rates, is In
sufficient.

ALGER REMOVES
THE DIFFICULTIES
Has Instructed General Brooke to Be-
gin Payment
OF THREE MILLION DOLLARS
May 27 Has Been Set As Day to Be-.
Gin Distribution.
Is NOT KNOWN IN HAVANA
Cabled the Governor General to Proceed
Immediately With Distribution of
the Money-Mayors Will Re-
ceive the Cuban Arms
IS NOT KNOWN IN HAVANA

Washington May 20--It Is believed that
whatever difficulty has existed as to the
disposition of the weapons held by the
Cuban soldiers had been removed by the
action taken by Secretary Alger today He
has instructed General Brooke to begin at
once the payment of the three million dol
lars set aside for the payment of the Cuban
soldiers, being entirely satisfied with the
provision made by General Brooke for the
safe keeping of the arms that must be
surrendered by the Cubans in consideration
of receiving share of the money.
There has been less correspondence on
this subject of late between Secretary
Alger and General Brooke than has been
generally supposed Last Wednesday the
latter cabled the war department that he
proposed to begin the payment Of the
money to the Cubans, the arms to go into
the custody of the mayors
Secretary Alger did not reply to this, as
it concerned matter in which the presi-
dent himself had given instructions. To-
day General Brooke was again heard from.
this time saying he saw in the press re-
ports that the secretary of war did not ap-
prove of the plan he had formed. He ex-
planned that all the arms surrendered were
to be deposited In the arsenals at Havana
and Santiago.
This statement changed the case COM
pletely for the arsenals being In the pos
session OF the United States, the require
ments of the presidents conditions were
fully met by the proposed arrangement. t.
Therefore, Secretary Alger, after submit-
ting the matter to the president this even-
ing cabled General Brooke to proceed inn
mediatey with the payment of the money
to the Cubans.

Relief Farms for Cuban Laborers

New York, May 20-The steamer Curl
tyba, which sailed for Matanzas. Cuba.
today, carried large consignment of agri-
cultural implements, seeds, provisions and
other supplies for the Cuban industrial re-
lief fund. These implements and supplies
will be used In establishing relief farms
where destitute Cuban farm laborers who
are now dependent on the distribution of
American army rations for a mere exist
ence may secure self-supporting employ
mept The industrial relief work will now
be extended throughout the island Of Cuba
as rapidly as funds are available. A like
shipment will be sent to Matanzas
shortly.

DEWEY'S ITINERARY
He Will Follow Usual Course Through
Suez Canal

Washington, May 20.-So far the navy
department knows nothing except In the
remotest way, of the itinery of Admiral
Deweys cruise from Manila to New York.
He has reported simply that he will come
by the Suez route and has not indicated
officially how long he will take in making
the trip. The actual departure of the
Olympia was made known in the following
five words coming by cable from Captain
Barker at Manila,
olympia, Hong Kong. Assumed com-
mand."
The understanding at the navy depart-
ment is that the admiral will spend about
two weeks at Hong Kong, for the Olympic
is to be docked and her drab war paint
must be covered with the spotless white
which makes the American naval ship the
most beautiful in the world. In the alb
sence of other information it is assumed
the. Olympia from Hong Kong will follow
the usual course of warships coming home
by the way Of the Suez canal. She will
touch first after Hong Kong at Singapore
then at Colombo then perhaps, at AdazA at
the entrance of the Red sea to take on q
crew of Lascars to fire the boilers OF kAo
intensely hot passage through that sea xHd
the Suez canal. Stops will be made Of nec-
essity at Suez and Port Said. 1t rs as
sumed that Malta will be touched and per-
haps Genoa or Nice before reaching Gibral-
tar. Leaving the Mediterranean the
Olympia will start straight across the At
lantic though she may put In at the
Azores for two, days. The time that
should be occupied by such trip is vari-
ously estimated by naval officers, but the
average is about seventy days from today.
However, the public will soon be able to
get a more accurate knowledge of the
itinery, for in few days the navy depart
ment will be in possession of schedule
of the ships movements. Il

Thirty-six Natives ina Derelict With.
out Food.

victoria. B. c., May 2O.-Two Polynesians
who reached Tavinuna, one of the islands
of the Fiji group shortly before the
steamer Miowera- sailed are said to be the
only survivors of a party of thirty-six
natives stolen from Andamon island by a
sailing schooner.
After their capture they sailed to Le-
vuka, but on the way the slaves fell upon
their captors whom they thought were
Spaniards, and killed them, turned the
schooner back and for weeks drifted,
storm-tossed about in the seas. Most of
them died of hunger and thirst. One night
eight survivors fought and two were killed,
four others died from hunger and measles
and the remainder ate their flesh. Two
survivors drifted on a small island near
Tavinuna.

way from Sydney to Samoa, fell In with a

grain shovelers have been in a more con-
ciliatory mood.
The monthly men who went out in SYM
pathy with the grain shovelers began the
clamor today for a settlement, claiming
that the grain shovelers were unreasonable
in their demands.
President Mcmahon, of the Grain SHOW
elers' stated tonight that there was a pos
sibility of an agreement being reached with
Contractor Corners, although he was not
sure that the grain shovelers would make
terms with him. Mcmahon declared that
the trouble would probably be settled on
Monday. The monthly men voted today to
give the grain shovelers until Monday af-
ternoon to reach anrsaE- cement so that
work could be resumed at the elevators.
Otherwise they will declare the strike off,
and let the grain shovelers fight it out
alone.
About 5000 freight handlers met tonight
and voted to return to work on Tuesday
on the following terms: Discharge objec-
tionable bossesj no Sunday work except in
cases of emergency: the appointment of an
Inspector to guard the interests of the men.
The question of an advance In wages was
waived. The result of the meeting will be
reported to Bishop Quigley on Monday, and
the men will be guided by his advice. The
bishop had advised them to go to work.

narrow wooded road, from which the troops
were unable to see the enemy. The men,

in the road for quarter of an hour, try

fire. Two Americans were wounded. The
road wound close to the stream and was
thicl1ly settled. 1t was a picturesque
march. Many groups OF hundreds of ma
tives were clustered under the trees on the
opposite banks, displaying white rags.
Some shouted welcomes to the American
soldiers, but most of them maintained a
sullen silence. Another man in a carriage
met the troops two miles outside of the
town. He said:
II have lived in England, and have told
the people that the Americans are like the

strange occurrences go the rounds of the
