WOODS FUTURE.
1t Is Believed He VIII BE Governor
of Cuba.


of Cubn.
Washington, December T. General
Leonard Wood had a conference with the
secretary of war today respecting his
future. While neither of the principals
had anything to say for publication as to
the conclusion reached, 1t is gathered that
General Wood Is TO be the next governor
of Cuba, Succeeding General Brooke, who
will return to the United States 1t is
expected that the military force in Cuba
can be greatly reduced in the near future,
so that while General Wood, by COM
handing the troops remaining. will be
military governor, there will be SO little
left of the military establishment that his
Office Will be much more civil than mill
tary. The reduction in force will enable
the war department to withdraw some or
pGhaps all OF the general officers of the
regiments now in Cuba.
Santiago de Cuba December THE re-
port OF the promotion of General Wood to
the rank OF major general and OF his
probable appointment as governor of the
island was bulletined at the Cosmopolitan
club this afternoon. The Americans and
foreigners are greatly gratihed. The Gu
ban patriots have expressed 4 fear that
this move may mean permanent occupa-
ton. At n meeting OF the club held after
the news WAS received, several speakers
complimented General Wood highly, but
criticised the presidents policy
a meeting OF the Antonio Maceo club is
being held tonight to discuss the sltua-
ton. The club represents the colored
party, the strongest political organization
in the island. General Quintln Bandera,
leader of the party, Is president.

Mr. Hale took It, he said, to be a bill
to encourage football and other similar
games and he could hardly stand as spon-
SCR for such a proposition.
In facetious speech Mr., Chandler re-
piled that no thought athletic contests

couraged. ''The proposition present is"

be regulated by law and internal and in

ITCHING PILES.
From the Melbourne Age.

Ever have any irritation OF the skin?
them bad enough TO tax your patience.
Hemorrhoid, a plague of the night; no
rest for the sufferer from that COM
plant. Eczema, too; hives don't sound
dangerous, but they cause much mis-
cry TO those unfortunate enough TO be
troubled with them. Doan's Ointment
is a wonder" for any such trouble.
Any troublesome irritation of the skin
can't resist its healing, soothing influ-
ence. Lots of Honolulu people know
this now.
Mr.. II. Ryall, of No. IL, Grosvenor
ST., South Yarra, is a very old resi-
dent of Melbourne. He states:
For some considerable time / have
been a sufferer from that annoying
complaint known as irritating piles.
At times the irritation was very an
noying, especially at night, and in the
warm weather. / applied some of
Doan's Ointment which / had obtained
and l am pleased to say that it gave
me the desired relief from this annoy
ing disease.
Doan'S Ointment is splendid in all
diseases of the skin: Eczema, piles,
hives, insect bites, sores, chilblains,
etc. 1t is perfectly safe and very eff
fective. Very frequently two or three
boxes have made a complete cure of
chronic cases that have not yielded to
other remedies for years.
Doan's Ointment is sold by all chem
lists and storekeepers at 80 cents per
box, or will be mailed on receipt of
price by the Hollister Drug Co., Ltd,
agents for the Hawaiian Islands.

was called the Franklyn syndicate.
1t advertised that It had special

on Wall street 10 stocks and made
enormous PROFITS, that any person who
desired TO put money into It's hands
would receive returns at the rate OF
ten percent a week, and II at any time
he wanted to withdraw his money II
would be paid back. The wise guys
from the county failed 60 bite on this
proposition, but the residents OF
the cities OF Brooklyn and New
York rolled their money into the
Golfers OF the company SO fast that il
took nearly an hundred clerks to take
the money and make out the receipts.

OF ten per cent was paid. or course

books IL Is estimated that the syndi
cate took ia between four and i've
millions OF dollars, and paid out a lit

OF the books, the building in which
the concern was located and about
8 5000 which was found under a sofa In
the Office, which probably had been
over looked. The list OF suckers who
thought a business could pay diyi-
dends Of five hundred and twenty per

AS ANNOUNCED IN the LIBERAL a
couple of weeks ago, Col. 10 Sheridan
has sold the Enterprise. The LrBER-
AL is sorry TO lose Col. Sheridan from
the fraternity. He announces that he
will now devote his time to the ore
remuneratiYe work OF mining. It is
earnestly to be hoped that with the
leisure that he now will have he will
also devote a portion OF his time to
the poetic muse. AS a writer OF
high class poetry he has no equal In
the territory, and now that he is re-
leased from the driving cares OF news
paper work the LIBERAL looks TO see
more Of his poetical illusions. The
Enterprise is now published by the
Enterprise publishing company, the
manager being Col. l.. NJ. Fishbeck.
1t Is announced that the Enterprise
will in the future, as it has 10 thG
past, be a stalwart advocate Of repub
lican principles in its editoria
columns. It's local columns are now
manipulated by Judge A. n. White,

THE politicians OF Graham county
are still stirred up over the actions OF
the board OF supervisors and district
attorney. On recommendation, it is
said, OF the district attorney the SUI
pervlsors made the Thatcher and
SolomonYille school districts pay the
expenses Of a meeting Of the board at
which meeting these districts were
authorized to issue bonds. The
second difficulty is that the board
tried to raise the Detroit copper com
pany's assessment and went at il in an
Illegal way. The court ordered the
assessment cut down. Now the dis
trict attorney advises the board 10
hire a Tucson lawyer at an expense OF
$500 TO take the case to the supreme
court. The people over in that county
are getting quite tired OF a district
attorney who Is $50 expensive to the
county, even If he wears on his brow q
