MEXICAN VIEW OF
CUBAN SITUATION

Mexico City, April 1.-THE resident
Cubans for the most part favor the an
nexation of the island of Cuba to the
United States and the Spanish capitalists
who have left Cuba and taken up resi-
dence here are of the same opinion. The
Mexican Herald says on this point:
Cuba, like Spain, and like the United
States, has it's class of professional poll
ticians who are a menace to it's peace
and tranquility This mob, hungry for
sala4es are threatening all sorts of devil
try if they are not provided for. All this
will have a familiar sound at Washing
have sentimental clamors and fraternal
feeling for the clamorOuS claimants of
cuba, but what Cuba needs for the sake
of the hard working peasantry and the
property owners is large period of peace
and the United States should definitely
announce that the Americans will gar
rison the islands for 10 years and not
day less. We have many Spanlards In
Mexico, recently arrived from Cuba, who
distrust the future island, fearing the
United States may give too free hand
to the professional element. Now Cuba
needs every industrious man, every en-
trrprising capitalist, be he Spaniard,
American or native, and the silly condl-
rion of parties who We're never in the fire
line in the late war are opposed to giving
a decent people a chance to go to work.

New York. April 11.--It is expected that
the converted cruiser Yosemite, which is
to carry the governor general of Guam,
Capt. Richard p. Leary. L. S. NJ, and his
garrison of marines TO the Ladrones will
sail within the next few days. She will
go by way of Suez. Captain Leary is now
in Baltimore. A suite of apartments has
been especially fitted up for him on the
berth deck of the ship aft. The furniture
and other tiXings of the rooms are luXur-
liant. They are finished in California red
wood, highly finished. Governor Leary
will rule over 10000 inhabitants of Guam.
OF these 1000 are foreign and the others
natives, a mixture of Spanish and Malay
blood. The Yosemite is to remain at
Guam for some time. Captain lde is or
dered to make a survey of the island and
report as to the harbors. The govern
ment has allowed Captain Leary $500OO
to maintain his establishment as COVER
nor. 1t is desired to make an impression
on the people of Guam of the wealth and
strength of the nation under whose flag
they are to live.

THE ENEMY WAS
.~@ BADLY BEATEN

Washington, April 1.-THE following
dispatch was received from Gen. Otis:
Manila, April i1.-Adjutant General
Washington: Insurgents attacked Mac
Arthur's line of railway communication
last night in considerable force. Repuls-
ed by Wheaton with heavy loss. Whea-
TOMS casualties three killed, twenty
wounded. Lawton's success at Santa
Cruz is more complete than reported yes
terday. The enemy left 93 uniformed
dead on the field and number seriously
wounded. Lawton captured the city with
out destruction Of property. His loss ten
wounded, slight, except two; one since
died. Lieut.. Filing, the only officer
wounded, slight in hand. The enemy re-
tired eastward. Lawton in pursuit this
morning. otis"
The attack Of the insurgents upon the
railway north of Manila indicated to the
war department officials that while Mac
Arthur was pushing north, bodies of in
surgents took to the mountains and jun
giles to the right of railway and have been
watching an opportunity to capture the
road at some point and thus cut off the
main body of the army to the northward
The repulSe of the natives shows that
they had not sufficient force to accom-
plish their purpose.

IS A BIG RUSH
FOR DIVORCES

Fargo, N. D., April 1.-THE final cur
tain is just being rung down on the old
divorce regime of North Dakota. Hun
dreds of divorces are safely behind and
scores have been shut out. The closing
days of the divorce regime have been
characterized by a rush of divorce emf
gres across the country, to be under the
80 DAYS provision of the old law, and the
divorce colonies Of Fargo, Grand FORKS
Mandan. Bismarck and jamestown have
received sudden and hurried additions
from the east and west, wherever marital
bonds have proved calling. Emeres
still come but theirs is a wild goose chase
The DEGREES are being issued in the courts
of the Third judicial district at Fargo at
the rate of three day. The colony at
Mandan. across the river from Bismarck,
is large. owing to the favorable complex
ion of the court, and tho divorces have
also focked to Grand Forks and James

Counsel for the Boston * Montana pre-
sented this afternoon an appeal from his

prevent Kinds from operating the prop

that Kinds is not fit person to operate

Several other reasons are cited why he
should not be permitted to operate the

blockhouse when the regiment was re-

-blockhouse when the regiment was re-
called by the division commander. The
combat resulted in small loss to the regi-
ment and much more serious mortality
to the enemy. The next day the regiment
advanced to the barricades, which had
been taken the previous evening, and oc
cupied them.
On the afternoon the Seventh regiment
had another brush with the enemy, who
had become bold and aggressive. One
of the companies having become involved
with the enemy in the timber in front of
the regimental line, it became necessary
to dislodge the enemy. Permission to do
this was given Colonel Funston by the
brigade commander. He promptly led
three companies to the support of the
men engaged in the wood, attacked the
insurgents position and carried it at the
point of the bayonet. The combat lasted
less than half an hour, but was exceed
ingly sharp One officer, Lieutenant Al
ford, was killed outright and six enlisted
men wounded in this engagement, and
26 insurgents We're found dead. The
companies then fell back to the en-
trenched line.
On the 10th, in conjunction with the
First Montana and the Third artillery
the regiment advanced on the town Of
CalOOcan. The advance of the Twentieth
Kansas, holding the left of the brigade
line, was made through dense woods and
in the face of hot. though badly direct
ed fire. On this day the regiment lost
two enlisted men killed and one officer
and eight enlisted men wounded, but
did not stop it's advance until it had
passed through and some distance be-
yond Caloocan, where it was halted and
q new line made.
Colonel Funston bears testimony to the
good conduct of his officers and men gen
orally, especially singing Major Metcalf
who was his strong hand during all the
operations. The battalions of the Frist
Idaho infantry, under Major Higgins,
also rendered efficient service in the ad-
vance upon Caloocan. During the open
fighting on the 10th and 18th Captain
Thomas Hamar was wounded. The bat
talions of the First Idaho, having rem
dered willing, gallant and arduous ser
vice to the First brigade, was relieved
on February 21 and returned to Manila
General Otis says that this concludes
the reports of the infantry troops en-
gagged.
The services Of the divisional artillery,
which co-operated with his brigade in
the various operations, are acknowledged
by General Otis

QUAY TRIAL
PROCEEDING
Defense is Trying 10 Prove a
Conspiracy.
BROKE OPEN CASHlER'SDESK
The Banks Receiver Tells How He
Got Hold of Some Papers and
What He Did With Them

Philadelphia, April 11-Thomas w.
Barlow, receiver of the bank, was on the
stand again today in the Quay trial. The
line of questions Indicated the purpose to
prove that the charges against Quay
We're the result of conspiracy. The wit
ness was told to tell all the circumstances
OF his removal of certain letters and
books from the private desk of Cashier
Hopkins. Among these books is the one
known as the red book" which the
prosecution shows that Hopkins COM
puted interest on state funds which he
deposited to Quay's credit. Barlow said
in reply:
'On March 70 a person whom I did not
know spoke to me over the telephone He
said: L want to say that an attempt VII
be made tonight to take certain docu-
ments out of Hopkins desk so they had
better be taken by you AS result of
this | went to the bank, accompanied by
policeman, broke open the desk and
took them out"
Witness said he notified Judge Gordon
OF his intention. For three hours that
night he left the documents in the pos
session of Judge Gordon in a trust COM
pany's office. After this they were virtu-
ally in Gordon's possession until Septem-
ber
Barlow denied knowledge of photo
graphing of Quay's letters for use of his
political opponents. He did not know
they had been taken by Judge Gordon
and shown to David Martin, or that Cor
don and John Wannamaker had taken
them to New York and shown them to
Democratic National Committeeman Cuff
fey in an effort to make Gordon the
democratic nominee for governor last
year. He thought State Banking Com
missioner Gilkesan had seen the docu
mentS prior to their coming into his
(Barlow's) possession. }sTe
Witness denied that any money or Sc
curities of the bank had been in the pos
session of Gordon; or that Gordon was
present when he broke open the cashiers S
desk
On redirect examination Barlow said
Commissioner Gilkeson had the possession
of HOpkinSf keys and examined the con-
tents of the private desk before he was
appointed receiver. The red book was
handed Barlow and he declared it in the
same condition as when it came into his
possession.
Judge Gordon was the next witness. He
identified the papers and books placed in
his possession by the receiver of the bank
and admitted he had shown them to
David Martin and John Wanamaker
and that Mr. Orr of Harrisburg, per-
sonal friend of the witness, had the
papers in his possession for the purpose
of photographing them. Gordon declared
he never took papers or anything else
from the cashiers desk and never saw
the Quay letters and red book until
shown them by the receiver.
A recess was then-taken and when
court reconvened the district attorney
offered the first OF the famous letters in
evidence, saying he would supplement
and prove them by the books of the bank,
which he would offer in evidence. Mr..
Rotherme, for the defense, opposed the
admission of letters, kilograms and books,
on the ground they are not proper test-
mOny.
