NEARLY SETTLED.
General Brooke and General Gomez Have
a Final Interview.

Final Interview.
Havana, May 22-The Cuban arms
question is apparently nearing COM
plete and rapid settlement To-day
Governor General Brooke and Gen.
Maxine Gomez had what both con-
slider final interview on the question
of surrendering the arms
The text of the article disposing of
the arms is as follows:
The arms and equipments of the
cuban soldiers will be turned over to
the civil governors of the munic; pail
ties, either at the place of residence of
the soldiers or the place of payment to
the United States officers in charge.
said civil governors and alcaldes are
hereby charged with the proper stor-
age and care of the same until they can
be collected for storage in Cuban ar
senals at Havana and Santiago, as al
ready arranged
Receipts will be given to soldiers for
arms turned in and civil governors and
alcaldes will forward to headquarters
report of the number of arms in their
charge. Where 500 are stored in one
place an eX-Cuban soldier will be en-
ployed as an armorer and shall be paid
for his services by the general govern
ment. The name of such person shall
be sent to headquarters to be placed on
the rolls in proper and prompt payment
for his services"
Colonel Acea, who was at one time a
member of the staff of the late Antonio
Maceo, to-day disbanded his force OF
300 men, who had been stationed near
Alquisar, province of Pinar del Rio, the
men going quietly to their homes with
their arms, resolved neither to accept
the money of the United States nor to
wait longer in a condition of suspense.
A meeting of the Cuban chiefs in the
occident, or western provinces, has been
called to consider the situation and
will probably decide to adopt the same
course The staff officers and the gen.
erals who composed the late military
assembly still say they do not want
money and will not surrender their
arms, but their assertions are not re-
garded as specially significant.

Roosevelt's Dilemma.

rrHE calling of an extra session of
the New York Legislature by
Governor Roosevelt is subject
ing that distinguished gentleman to
criticism. The governor has called the
legislature together to amend what is
called the Ford bill, which was passed
at the regular session. and which pro-
vides for the taxing of certain fran
chises. Under it's operation all fran
chises for the use of the public streets,
throughout the entire state, would be
classed and taxed as real estate. At
present the corporations enjoying these
privileges avoid the paying of taxes
upon their holdings by covering them
with mortgage bonds and other forms
of Indebtedness, which exempt the Sc
curities from taxtion. Under the Ford
bill the assessment will be recorded as
in the case of houses and land. and the
tax cannot be evaded any more than
that levied on any form of real estate.
Governor Roosevelt took a personal
interest in the passage of the bill--it
would have been defeated but for his
efforts in its behalf. But after the leg
islature had adjourned tremendous
pressure was brought to bear on him
by commercial and political circles to
veto the measure. Tom Platt the story
runs, plainly told Roosevelt that he
must not sign the bill--that he could
not sign it without mourning his
Platt's, lasting enmity. 1t was STU
preme test of Roosevelt's courage and
independence, and the pity of it is that
he didn't prove equal to the OCCASION
He wobbled and straddled. He dared
not sign the bill. he dared not veto it.
So he convenes the Legislature in extra
ordinary session in order that the bill
may be amended in manner that will
make it less Objectionable to the street
car. electric light and telephone compa-
MES. That means that it will be entire
ly emasculated. 1t is apparent that
Roosevelt has completely succumbed to
Plat. He has made the mistake of his
life.

THE NEW CRUISERS.
Details Agreed Upon by the Board of
Naval Bureau Chiefs.

Washington. May 22.--The board Of ma
va. bureau chiefs to-day agreed upon the
details of the six new cruisers, Denver,
Des Moines. Chattanooga. Galveston, Ia
coma am Cleveland, which will be the
only vessels provided for in the last naval
appropriation bill that can be undertaken
this year, owing to the inability of the de-
partment to secure armor for them. The
others will be sheathed with copper and
of 300 tons when Hight and 3,4G0 tons
when ready for cruise. That is slightly
larger than the Raleigh and the Cincin-
natl, which are of 5000 tons Their speed
is fixed at 1919 knots. or 212 knots less per
hour than the Raleigh. but this deficiency
is more than made up by the large steam
ing radius of the new ships. At fun speed
they can steam without replenishing the
coal bunkers for $500 miles, while at the
rate of 10 knots they can cover 6,975 miles.
Water tube boilers will furnish the steam
for twin screw engines of $500 horsepower
each, placed in separate compartment.

THE use of tobacco has been :. at
tackled along new lines. The
assault came the other day in
the form of a paper on Some of the
Minor Immoralities of the Tobacco
Habit" read by DR.. Matthew Woods
before the Philadelphia Alumni society
of the medical school of Pennsylvania
university. 1t seems that Dr. Woods
dwelt chiefly upon the harmfulness of
tobacco as "a promoter of content" He
thinks discomfort is the great incentive
to material and mental advancement,
and that in helping to make man salts
fed with his condition and surround
ings tobacco perhaps works it's greatest
injury. Pursued to it's logical conclu-
sion, DR.. Woods argument means that
anything that contributes to content
ed state of mind is bad thing, and
anything that tends to make man I'M
comfortable is a good thing. We do not
believe that the tobacco trust will have
to curtail its product as result of DR..
Woods paper.

Current Comment.
Wool and the High Tariff.
the ST. Louis Republie.

From the st. Louis Republic.
In spite of the tariff the price of Amer
lean fine wool Is SO low that it can be
transported abroad into free trade mar
kets and protitably manufactured This
presents the anomaly existing in the
United States of protected wool which has
to be sent into free trade markets for
profitable sale. Should the surplus of I'M
consumed wool continue to be sent out of
the country the American consumer will
in the long run be compelled to buy back
at higher prices its equivalent in the
shape of raw material.

That Transvaal Plot,

From the Boston Globe
1t is increasingly evident thai the posi-
bilities OF friction between foreigners and
Roers in the Transvaal did not end with
the nominal censure passed upon that
busy and adventurous man of affairs,
Rhodes of Rhodesia. The outcome of the
present agitation may not mean more
fighting in Africa and that without de-
lay, but the friends of peace will certain
ly agree that this trouble comes to the
fIont at a decidedly inopportune time.

Trouble May Come in Cuba.

From the Boston Post.
We do not want to repeat in Cuba the
horrible chapter of the Philippines The
American people would not look kindly
upon the government that should render it
necessary for them to go to Cuba and
complete the subjugation of the Cubans
for their own good. One enterprise of that
sort is enough for them to stomach-too
much, in fact. But 1t must be admitted
that affairs in Cuba are drifting into a
dangerous condition.
