for congress to take action with respect
to Hawaii and Porto Rico. He said we
know as much now about the needs of
those islands as we could know after
another year, and he favored the en-
actment of such legislation as Shall ap-
pear to be necessary. He did not think
IL would be practicable to legislate for
the philippines or fer Cuba at this time.
Speaking of Cuba, the senator said
he was in favor of continuing the occu-
patton until the leading people of the
island shall have had full opportunity
to determine what they desire for the
future. After they have had this op-
portunity to make up their minds intel
ligently on the subject the question of
the future of the islands should be put
TO vote among them. If they then de-
sire annexation to the United States
they will so declare at the ballot box
and the senator added, IF they de-
eide in favor of annexation everybody
in the United States will be glad of II. .
Referring in a general way to the
Questions arising as a result of the war
with Spain, Senator Shoup said he was
in hearty accord with the policy of the
administration on every point. and it
would be his pleasure to give his sup

Referring particularly TO the Philip

MILLER Is STILL IN HIDING
UNABLE TO LOCATE BRooKLYN's
NAPOLEON OF FINANCE.
Many Dividend Drafts Have Reached
New York Banks From ALI Over
the 'East-Victims Are Hopeful.

New York, Nov 26.-Wiliiam. +. Mil
Ter and his secretary and chief boomer,
Cecil Leslie, of the Franklin syndicate,
the 10 per cent a week concern of
Brooklyn, have not yet been arrested.
The extensive operations of the Frank
Ign syndicate and exhaustless credulity
of the American people are shown by
the number of dividend drafts which
are held by the different city banks.
These drafts were sent through the
mails by Miller to subscribers living at
distant points, and they deposited them
in their local banks for collection. The
local banks in turn sent them to the
New York banks which act as their
Saturday. Many more are expected
this week. AS the syndicate has as
signed, the drafts will be returned to
their dupeS.
The National City bank alone has
about 200 drafts sent here by banks in
Allegheny. Pa; Portland. Me-; Elsie,
ILL.,: Armenia, N. Y; Grand Lodge,
Mich; Fitchburg. Mass; Wheeling, w:
Va; Urbania, o.; Elizabeth, n. j., and
two score of other towns.
The Nassau National bank and the
Merchants bank also have several
drafts sent them from out of town. The
police say they have spread drag net
for Miller by which they will bring the
missing head of the Franklyn syndicate
to prison. Although at. police head
quarters it is believed he is in hiding
in or close to the city, precautions
have been taken to place him in Gus
tody. no matter where he turns up. The
chiefs of police of every city in this
country and Canada have been asked
to look out for him, and detailed de-
scriptions have been telegraphed TO
them. ~ l5a.
II was estimated today that fully So
600 policemen and detectives in all sec
tions of the country know that Miller
is missing and that he is wanted; in this
city. The chiefs of police at. all ports
in Great Britain and the continent Wis
.ited by steamers sailing from New
York have also been cabled TO arrest
Miller should he bob up on the other
side 1t is not believed Miller got away
with any of the steamers. which sailed
Saturday. as each was carefully
watched by central office men.
Detectives have also been posted at
all of the principal railroad stations.
but il is acknowledged that il is COM
paratively easy for -shrewd. man to
get out of the city on a train, even
when the police are looking for him.
The Brooklyn detectives still kept up
their search for Miller today, and his
many dupes all over the eastern dis
trict walked the streets or collected on
the corners and talked and waited and
hoped.
Nowhere was there any denunciation
of the vanished Miller. His victims
were one and all looking forward to the
Gay when they. expect him to reappear
and pay their claims.
Captain Lees and a squad went
through the FRANKLIN syndicate build
ing from cellar to garnet and took away
all the checkbooks, ledgers, typewriters.
papers and memoranda of every ma
ture No more cash was found.

CUBAN NATIONALISTS MEET.
Anxious For Fuller Freedom and
Withdrawal of Troops.

Havana, Nov. 26.--Five thousand people
attended the meeting of the delegates of
the Cuban league and national party to-
day. 1t was expected that the question
of the civil governorship and the appoint
be discussed. AS 1t turned out, these mat
tiers We're only lightly touched upon.
Senior .Borges, who was one of the prin-
cipal speakers, said:
The Americans have helped the Cubans
in their time of need, but 1t is yet to be
shown that they are as generous as at
first they seemed. There have been
Cubans who died in the hope of secur-
ing independence, and there are CubanS
who are ready to initiate their example"
Senior Gonzales said:
"Cubans must not break the law by ap-
pealing to arms to settle this question of
civil government. By such a course they
would merely crafty those who wish to
show the world that Cubans cannot re-
spect law.
Senior Zazas said:
I'VE Cubans watch over independence
like parents over a sick child. 1t is natural
that we should not forget our many sleep
but to finish our work and to secure in
dependence
From every part of the island communi-
cations are received by the local papers
protesting against civil governor gen.
eral. Almost without exception every
paper published in Spanish has objected.
The majority condemns the project ut
terly. The minority think that any
change to be made should be by way of
reducing the number of American troops
in the island.
