Since the defeat of the dispensary
bill by the Legislature there has been
much discussion as 10 the status of
the license Law. The question is
now settled. Attorney General Pyle
being called to give an opinion holds
that the dispensary section of the
state constitution not having been
carried into execution by the statutes,
the old law is in full force and the
effect would seem clear. He says
that the penalties provided for the
violation of license is not in conflict
with the provisions Of the amend
ment 10 the consultation.

APPREHENSION IN CUBA.


Despite Present Tranquility, II Is Re
ported Recruiting Progresses.
Havana, Nov. 29.-Although there
has been great deal of exaggeration
with reference to risings In different
parts of the island, there is no doubt
that, despite the tranquility of the
country, some apprehension exists lest
within the next few months some
trouble should occur In the event that
the United States congress does not
give definite assurances respecting the
future of Cuba. It Is asserted that
many Of the police, especially men,
bers of the rural guard, have for sew
eral weeks been paying a fraction of
their salaries to fund intended for
use in case of an outbreak against the
United States. 1t is also reported that
recruiting for future emergencies" is
in progress.
The best opinion, official and nom
official, rejects the idea, however, that
there will be any trouble before the
beginning of next year. With few
exceptions the prominent Americans,
Spaniards and Cubans refuse to talk
on the subject for publication. Cen
eral Collazo, veteran of the Cuban
army and now editor of The Cubano,
who fairly represents the views Of the
Cuban revolutionary leaders, said:
II feel justified in saying that at
present Cuba is perfectly tranquil, al
though, as the result of General Lud-
lows recent statements and Of the
possibility of civilian governor gen.
eral, feeling Of tension exists. Our
people are waiting for declaration
by the United States congress. No one
would be SO foolish as to prejudice the
whole case by starting a'rebellion be-
fore we have heard what congress will
do" ,.aS

New York, Nov. 29.-William F.
Miller, who conducted the Franklin
syndicate in Brooklyn, has not yet
been arrested, the so-called dragnets of
the police evidently being out of order.
The police have not the faintest idea
where Miller is. r...
The Franklin syndicate safe, which
was locked up by Miller the last thing
before he took flight, was opened by
loeksmith yesterday In Brooklyn
police station. In 1t was found 1870
shares of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
stock and few worthless scraps Of
paper. There was not penny Of cash
and nothing Of value except the stock.
Postmaster Wilson, of Brooklyn, has
received an order from the postmaster
general directing him to return, so far
as possible, to the senders all letters
addressed to the syndicate. About L.
500 pieces of mail. including over $12,-
900 worth Of money orders, have ac-
cumulated since Saturday.
Hubert G.. Taylor, the lawyer who
was appointed receiver of the syndi-
cate, has asked to be relieved of the
appointment on the ground that he
does not like to have his name asso-
ciated in the public mind with that of
Miller and his unsavory supporters.
Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
against the syndicate were instituted
in the United States court yesterday
before Judge Thomas by attorneys
representing depositors whose claim
aggregate over $4,000. They a'lege
in their petition that large part of
the syndicate's property has been con-
cealed with intent to defraud creditors.
These bankruptcy proceedings. It is
said, will take precedence over all
other claims filed against the syndi-
cate.
Louis A. Gourdain, who has bank
ing Office In the Metropolitan Life In
surance building; at No. / Madison
avenue, and is alleged to have
scheme similar to that of the Franklin
syndicate, was arrested yesterday on
the order Of Chief Of Police Devery.
He was taken to police headquarters
and will be charged with swindling.
Gourdain is said to be we'll known
lottery man from New Orleans. He
was held in default of 100000 bail.
John r. Agnew, whose connection
with the Washington syndicate in
Green Point. Brooklyn. led to his ar
rest Monday, was up for arrangement
yesterday in a Brooklyn police court.
In the absence of the district attorney
the magistrate would not fix bail

ment between Great Britain and Ger
many regarding Samoa and has sub
mitted new draft Of an agreement is
misleading. The exact status OF the
Samoa question Is as follows:
Consequent upon the signing of the
Samoan treaty between Germany and
Great Britain, to which the United
States had signified its assent, there
was drawn up a new form of agree
ment between Great Britain and the
United States. This was necessitated
by the new order Of things, but in
nowise affected the validity Of the
German-British agreement, which In"
cluded spheres of influence in Africa
and other matters entirely foreign to
American interests. The statement
that the agreement has been rejected
is based. according to the British Of
ficials, entirely upon the suggestions
made by the United States Of change
In the wording of the draft of the
agreement between herself and Great
Britain. These changes are entirely
grammatical and will be acceded to.
