Havana, April 1.-THE Cuban gener-
ais met today at Marianao and official
ly decided to reinstate General Maxine

also decided to appoint an executive
board of three generals to assist him in
distributing the $3,OOO,OOO, in the details
of disarming, and in the organization

He will be officially notified of their
action, and a proclamation will be IS

Gen. Rafael Portuendo, chairman Of
the executive committee of the former
military assembly, called upon Gov
General Brooke this afternoon, and dis
cussed with him the recent actions oil
the assembly leading up to its dlSsolu-
ton. He did not offer the Cuban mus
ter rolls directly, though it has been
intimated by several former members
of the assembly that these are at the
disposal of the military authorities
whenever they are wanted.

Of all the meat handled has been spoiled
and about ten per cent Of the canned

been issued to the troops in Cuba, who
have invariably been supplied with

no complaint In fact they have been

A WORCESTER WITNESS.
Local Resident Views Horrors of New
York Fire.

Constable Albert f. Richardson re-
turned to his residence on Wellington
street, late last evening, from New
York, and speaks in graphic language
of the second New York fire horror of
yesterday. The scenes around the
burning building, he says, beggar all
description. Constable Richardson was
stopping at the Park Row Hotel, just
a minutes walk from the scene of the
fire, and when the alarm was rung in,
he was one of the first to rise, as the
signal box was in the district he was
in, and he thought that the hotel might
be ablaze.
1t was about 2 o'clock that he heard
the cry of fire, which was followed by
a terrific explosion which shook blocks
for streets around. The explosion was
followed by a binding flash of light
from the Andrews home, on Fifth ave-
nue., and all ran thither with full
speed.
When the apparatus arrived, the
flames were shooting out of the upper
floors, and leaped madly half away
across the street, dancing and whirl-
ing and licking their demOniacal
tongues towards adjacent buildings.
The scene following the appearance
of the fire apparatus as the general
alarm was turned in, was one of hor-
ror. and the dying shrieks of the i'm
prisoned family and the yells for help
that rent the Il 5malaent nearly drove
the spectators to madness, so utterly

WARSHIPS CHRISTENED
When Will Worcester Have
a Cruiser Named
After Her ?

Washington, April 1.-THE president
today named the twelve new warships
recently provided by congress. as fol-
lows:
ps-Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Georgia.
Armored cruisers-West Virginia,
Nebraska, California.
Cruisers-Denver, Des Moines, Chat
tanooga, Galveston, Tacoma, Cleve-
land.
Petitions by the hundreds have been
flowing into the White House and navy
department since the new ships were
provided, urging the merits of various
names. The president and Secretary
Long enjoyed the good natured rivalry.
and in making the final determination
consideration was given not only to the
urgency of the influence brought to
bear, but also to the several sections Of
the country
Pennsylvania petitioned through Gov.
Stone, Senators Quay and Penrose, and
the entire delegation in the House Of
Representatives New Jersey made
her plea through Vice President Ho-
bart, Attorney General Griggs, Gov.
Voorhees,, ex-Secretary McAdoo, Sen
atOr SeWel ana many COIuIIGICldl
bodies. Georgia did not petition the
navy department, and the choice OF
southern state was due to a desire by
the president to compliment those with
whom he visited on his recent southern
trip.
The battleships Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Georgia are described as
carrying the heaviest armor and most
powerful ordnance for vessels of their
class upon trial displacement Of
about 1850 tons, to be sheathed and
coppered, and to have the highest
practicable speed and great radius OF
action, and to cost, exclusive of armor
and armament, not exceeding $3,6OO,-
900 each.
The armored cruisers. are similarly
described, except that they are to cost
$4, 900 900 each, and are to have dis
placement of 10000 tons. The cruisers
Denver, Cleveland and others are de-
scribed as protected cruisers of about
25OO tons trial displacement, to be
sheathed and coppered and to have the
highest speed compatible with good
cruising qualities, great radius of ac-
ton, and to carry the most powerful
ordnance suited to vessels OF their
class. and to cost, exclusive of arma-

MRS. GEORGES TRIAL.
In Opening Statement Attorney Pome-
reno Describes saxton's Murder.

Canton, O., April THE jury which
is to decide the fate of Mrs. Anna e.
George, accused of the murder of
George D. Saxton, was completed at
3 80 o'clock this afternoon, and before
court adjourned Prosecuting Attorney
Pomerene had stated to the u men
who had qualified an outline of what
he expected the witnesses for the state
to prove.
Briefly summarized this is that on
the evening of the tragedy, and shortly
before it occurred, Saxton rode to the
Althouse house on his bicycle, and Mrs.
George at the same time went to a
point near by on a street car. The as
sassin, and he says this will be proved
to be Mrs. George, fired two shots and
walked away; there was a. cry as If for
help. She returned and fired two more
shots, then leaned over the PROSTATE
body, found him dying, and disappeared
in the darkness.
He claims that Mrs. Georges fingers
were blackened with burned powder
when arrested, and that she had not
only threatened to kill Saxton, but had
long planned how to do it, and that she
had outlined her plans to another
party. He also says that he cares not
what relations are shown to have ex-
listed between the two. In connection
with these relations he referred to the
accused as an adventures pure and
simple.
Mr.. Welty intimated that the state
ment of the defense would be some
what lengthy, and it was deferred until
morning.

STRIKE EXTENDING.
Ten Thousand Idle Looms In Pawtuxst
Valley.

Providence, r. l., April 17.-Discont-
ent is spreading with surprising rapid
ity among the thousands of mill opera
tives in this state, and the accessions
to the ranks of the strikers today
practically brings the entire Pawtuxet
valley into harmony, as far as strike
sentiment is concerned.
With scarcely an exception, the
trouble is due to what the mill men
have termed "a restoration of the
wages paid before the 1898 cut down
In the few exceptions, the trouble is
due to the working of the advance in
wages. It is estimated that all the
strikes in the PaWtuXet valley have
made about 10000 looms idle. The mills
chiefly affected are generally known as
the Knight system of mills.
The following mills are involved at
present:
Pontiac, 27,922 spindles, 500 opera
tives; Royal, 1870 spindles, 600 opera
tives; Valley Queen, 1904 spindles, 800
operatives; Natick. 5000 spindles, 300
operatives; Arctic, 37O24 spindles, $50
operatives; Lippitt, 1922 spindles, 200
operatives.
1t is feared that the operatives Of the
Hope and PheniX mills, owned by the
Goddard Bros, may j0iN the movement
as well as those owned by the Howard
heirs, the Crompton, the Anthony, the

tate, and the Warwick.

Creation.


Creation.
Boston. April 1.-THE legislative com
mittee on harbors and public lands re-
norted a bill to establish the Wachusett
mountain state reservation in Worces-
ter county. 1t provides a commission
of three residents of Worcester county
to be appointed by the governor with
power to expend $4,000 appropriated by
the bill in taking 5000 acres on or about
Wachusett mountain, the title TO pe
vested in the commonwealth. ANY eA-
pense for maintenance in excess OF IN
come shall be raised by a county tdA
in Worcester county.
The opponents of the state hghWdy
commission sustained their final defeat
in the House today, when Mr.. Mills
of Newburyport had the annual APP
preparation bill for the commission tax
en- from the table and opposed it on
the ground that the policy of the com
mission was wasteful and eXtravagart.
There was a brief debate and the APP
preparation bill was passed with put
few votes against it.
The opponents of the replacing OF
the street car tracks on Boylston ana
fremont streets in Boston scored a
point in the passing of an order call
ing for the opinion of the Boston RAPID
Transit commission, as to whether the
subway had reached it's limit of ca
