Havana, January 24.-Should Cuban
soldiers take to the woods and turn
bandits the United States military adj
ministration will know what to do.
They would be followed by a force of
cavalry and persistently pursued. The
same general method will be observed
as has been followed in dealing with
the Indians on the plains and noun
tains of the west. The subject has been
carefully considered by old border
fighters, who are confident they could
catch the bandits, Notwithstanding the
climatic conditions.
The Seventh cavalry regiment is sta
toned in the province of Pinar del Rio,
the Second cavalry regiment in the
provinces of Santa Clara and MatanZas
and the remainder of the cavalry reg
ments in the province of Porto Principe.
The department governor and the COM
manders of the various garrisons have
received instructions to keep on the
ebert and to take the first opportunity
which brigandage may afford to show
what the United States soldiery can
do to suppress it.
A number of Cuban generals and
prominent civilians who have been
discussing the Cuban army question
during the last day or two with the
American commanders intimate that
the United States ought quickly to ar
range a settlement of the claims of the

Doubtless, similar vague threats have
been made at Washington also. DR..
Joaquin Castillo, who arrived here
yesterday from the United States, where
he had been representing the interests
of the Santiago board OF trade at Wash
ington, called today upon Governor
General Brooke, Major General Ludlow,
Chief of Police Menacle and other Off
cials. He says that while in Washing
ton he had a talk with President Nc
Kinley who gave him the impression
that he was in favor of paying at least
a part of the claims of the Cuban SOL
diers.
La Lucha denies the report that Gen
eral Maxine Gomez will shortly leave
Cuba and 90 into retirement to Santo
Domingo.
Major General Ludlow, governor Of
the military department of Havana
city, wrote a few days ago to Major
General Lee, governor of the military
department of Havana province, call
ing the latter's attention to certain
newspaper statements representing that
they felt bitterly towards each other
and that their relations were strained
almost to the breaking point because
certain territory formerly in General
Lees department had been added to
General Ludlow's to facilitate admins
tration. General Ludlow said he knew
of no misunderstanding and wished to
declare as much, in order that General
| Lee might not be mislead.
General Lee has replied, saying that
their personal and official relations are
cordial and that any person supposing
otherwise is in error.
General Lee left today for a trip to
Guines. He will stop at San Jose de
La Jas, where he will inspect the battal-
ion of the Fourth Illinois which is
marching to Guines, and the Cuban
troops here.

TE>llNG ARMY BEEF
General Miles Sends the Commission.
eIs Samples of Canned Beef Furnish
ed the Army-They Find it Fresh and
Palatable.

Washington, January 24.-Major Ru-
fus M. Townsend, commissary of sub
%sistance, United States volunteers, tes-
titled before the wal investigating COM
mission today that he had constantly
inspected the kitchens and supplies and
said both the refrigerated and canned
beef were good. He had never heard
| of chemical treatment of the beef until
he read of it in the newspapers.
General Beaver announced that the
commission had received from Major
General Miles yesterday, several cans
of rost beef forwarded to him by Cap
| tain Bean, of Battery c., from Pheon-
ixville, Pennsylvania, who is quoted as
having said that in Ponce, cats to whom
he had fed this same beef had died from
eating it. The cans had been received
from the EXPIRES company in General
Miles office in the presence of Major
Mills, the recorder of the commission
who certified as to it's identity. One
can was opened and it's appearance
and taste produced a favorable impress
sion On members OF the commission
who inspected it. The can were then
sent to a government chemist for
analysis.
Captain Alfred Hunt, president of the
Pittsburg reduction company, wrote the
commission:
"When my command returned from
Puerto Rico; we had nine cases of CAM
ed roast beef, each case containing two
dozen cans, which had not been used.
These ans of roast beef are still in
my possession. / have taken one of
those cans of Armour's roast beef to
the Pittsburg testing laboratory, and
have had it there subjected to chemi-
cal analysis; and they have made the
following report, signed by Mr.. James
o. Handy, chief chemist.
THE beef was marked prime roast
beef, manufactured by the Armour
Canning Company, Chicago, Ills and
contained no nitrate of potash, no
sahcylic, no boracic acid, no borax. salt

THE PH1LrPPrNos LATEST MOVE
AgOncilfo Leaves q Document at the
State OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES From MA
Mia Nos ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of
War With the Natives

Washington, January 24.-Senor Lo-
peg, secretary to Agoncillo, the Wash
ington representative of Aguinaldo,
called at the state department at 1
o'clock this afternoon and lodged with
the chief clerk a communication which,
according TO the common expectation,
marked the critical stage in the Phil
ippine question. This is the third at
tempt made by Philippine representa-
tives to secure official recognition from
the United States government. Secre-
tary Hay was at the time the commu-
nication was presented, attending a
meeting Of the cabinet at the White
house, so that all that Chief Clerk
Michael could do under the circum-
stances was to receive the papers as
he would any other handed him.
The advices from Manila, which have
reached the war department, are far
from reassuring. 1t is understood that
General Otis reports an expectation on
his part that the insurgents are about
to force an issue and If this should be
SO, the result cannot be foreseen. Ma
Mia itself, inc not Iloilo, as might at
first be supposed, is regarded as the
danger point just now. While the in
structions to General Otis have been
10 dNOIO any uOSllle CldSn Win tQe ma
tives, so far as that plan is consistent
with the maintenance of his position,
it is realized here that it is within the
power of any excited or intoxicated
person to precipitate a battle between
the two opposing forces; for it must be
understood that there is nothing in
General Otis instructions to prevent
him from most vigorously defending
himself and the interests confided to
his charge. General Otis is so sure of
his ground that the officials here feel
no doubt as to the outcome of a hos
tile collision between the Americans
and the insurgent forces under Agui-
naldo, particularly as General Otis
would have the enormous advantage of
the full cooperation of the American
fleet under Dewey; but it is particular
ly desirable that even a battle ending
in victory be avoided just now, for
the president has by no means surren-
dered his convictions hat the mis-
guided Philippines can be brought to
an understanding Of the real objects
Of the United States and peacefully
accept the conditions sought to be i'm
posed.

IT'S A SUICIDAL POLICY
SERIOUS INJURY THREATENED TO
SANTIAGO PROVINCE.
Entire Customs Receipts Ordered Sent
Each Week to Hayana-A Vigorous
Protest Will be Made

Santiago, Jan. Am order has been
received from Havana, which if en-
forced will mean, in the judgment of
the commercial classes here, serious in
jury to the province. This is a direc-
tion to transmit the entire customs re-
ceipts each week to Havana Compli-
ance with such Instructions would in
yolve the abandonment of many public
improvements, especially in the matter
of water works and public roads.
The Heraldo says to carry out this
order would rob ten thousand Cubans
of employment, most of whom would
probably take to the hills and become
bandits, having no other recourse.
Robert 7. Mason, British consul at San
tlago, says it was Spain's practice of
monetary Capitalization which caused
most of her troubles in Cuba. General
Leonard Wood, United States military
governor of the department, on being
asked to express an opinion respecting
the order, declined to be interviewed.

any criticism of the policy which die

Der of commerce, the societyA of veter-

PRICE FIVE CENTS.

rival David r. Proctor is president
and designer of the heaven kissing
structure. For several years Mr.. Proc
tor has spent all his time in modelling
gigantic towers, and in the one now on
exhibition to a few at No. 1874 Clark
street, the inventor believes he has the
plans of a great success.
The promoters and prospective finan-i
clers of the Tower company hail from
the breeze-sWept pines of Michigan and
Wisconsin. They may never have
heard of the Explosion on the lake
'front.' or "the caving in of the La
Sale street tunnel" or the "cinch"
game where the gambler loses and the
sucker wins. but the fact remains
that the lease is on record and the
promoters say the scheme will go
through.
The great 1.100-foot tower is to have
"a elevators, and every passenger is to
be charged cents a trip. Besides the
revenues from the multitudes who will
ride thus up and down, a great income
is expected to be derived from the
"eatin' and drinkin' privileges in and
on the structure. Within four years
the tower will be in place, and will cost,
when completed, about $s0O,0OO Mr..
Proctor says the money is all ready and
work will be begun.

A POSSIBLE MISTAKE.
Harry l.. Luke Will Return to Butte
Whenever Needed. ~"

Whenever Needed.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Jan. 2--No requistion will be
made upon the governor of California for
Harry L. Luke, who is reported to have
been detained in San Francisco upon in
structions from Silver Bow county on the
charge of forging the Endorsement of Will
liam Owsley to a note, Mr.. Luke having
promised to return to Montana and ex-
plain matters satisfactorily.
1t Is believed mistake has been made
and perhaps an injustice has been done
Silver Bow, who is here, has ordered that
requisition proceedings be dropped and in
explanation of that course said:
1t is due to Mr.. Luke that public
Judgment be suspended for a time. 1t is
true that he was detained in San Francis
co upon telegraphic instructions from the
sheriff of Silver Bow county, upon which,
on the bare statement made that Mr..
OWsley had not signed the note, appeared
to be a prma facie case. The later de-
velopments, however, have seemed to in
dicate the strong possibility that an error
has been made, for where Mr.. Owsley
made mistake with regard to one such
note, it is possible that he may have made
another. At any rate, I have taken the
responsibility of ordering him released at
San Francisco and he has promised to be
in Butte whenever wanted, probably be-
fore the 10th of the month. He feels con-
fident that he can recall to Mr. OWsley
the circumstances of the giving of the
note and convince him that he is mis-
taken"

opened a valve to let some of it out. (
Then he went around in front to watch
the gauge while the water ran into the

going out too fast and that jet of steam
was escaping with great force. In trying
to shut it off he was badly scalded but In
spite of the pain he thought only of the
horrible consequences of an explosion
There was but one thing to do, and that
was done quickly. Seizng a shovel he
