FIGHTING IN HAVANA.
A Mob Attacks thy Police and Many
Are Killed and Wounded.
CUBAN OFFICERS MIX IN THEFRA

Trouble Started at Ball In an Unsav.
ory Quarter OF the City-The Police
Fired on From the Roofs-A Police
Captain Severely Injured Troops
Make Many Arrests.
HAVANA, Cuba (By Cable).-The excite
ment which grew out Of the conflict be-
tween the police and the popuace has SUBJ
sided, and 1t Is not likely that there will be
further trouble. The mob has been taught
lesson which will probably prove suf-
aclent. Lnwbreakers now fear the police
and realize that the latter will not tolerate
resistance to their authority.
During the affrays Of Saturday and Sun
day three policemen were killed and about
fifteen wounded, while Of the popuIace five
were killed and between sixty and seventy
others wounded, some so ser ously that
they will probably die. The condition Of
Police Captain Jose Estrampes was serious,
but he Is recovering.
. Sixty arrests were made and orders have
been issued to the police not to hesitate to
shoot hereafter should occasion require 1t.
There seems to be concerted action among
the Nanigos, the secret society OF the low
class OF colored men here, to attack the po-
lice upon every possible occasion. All the
trouble Of the two nights occurred in the
outlying wards, which are Inhabited by the
worst ciassee.
Saturday nights trouble occurred at q
public ball In San Jose sire ct. an unsnvory
quarter OF Havana. Many Cuban officers,
colonies and captains among them, at
tended. A policeman, following orders to
prevent a crowd collecting In front OF the
building where the ball was In progress,
asked group OF men to 80 in or to dis.
perse. His request was unheeded, and,
after repeating it, he was attacked by the
group, whereupon many issued from the
building, set upon him. took away his club
and revolver, and handled him roughly.
The policeman Immediately notified
headquarters, who ordered twenty reserves
to the scene OF the trouble. The crowd
had prepared for their arrival. It Is said
they opened with q revolver fire upon the
police, which the latter returned, the
shooting being kept up until the ammuni..
tion was exhausted. The opponents OF
the police acted with determination In the
ARRAY.
Many who were In the building mounted
the roof, which is com paratively low, and
were apparently we'll armed, and this fact,
together with the resolution with which
they fought, seems to confirm the belief
that the attacking party was mostly made
up OF Cuban officers, as ordinary civilians
would have fled from the revolyers OF the
police. MANY women were wounded.
American troops were called to the scene
when the trouble was over, and numerous
arrests followed.

class powers. Their essential feature Is to
give japan a status as @ modern nation,
instead OF imposing the restrictions which
she was under, along with China and other
Eastern countries, before her advance to
modern methods. The entire extra-terri-
torial system Is swept away by the new
treaties. This gave to foreign Powers, In
Guiding the United States, a right to try
civil and criminal. cases relating to their
own citizens in consular courts, instead OF
In the Japanese courts. Hereafter these
foreign courts will be abolished and Japan
ese courts will try all cases alike.
Another feature is In opening up the en-
tire interior OF Japan to the capital and
enterprise OF foreign merchants. At pres
ent the restrictions on aliens are exceed
ingly severe, except at Yokohama and
few large places, the interior being prac-
tIcally In the exclusive occupancy OF the
natives. Now, however, foreign settlement
and trade are invited. and the richness OF
the interior promises large commercial re-
turns. The rates OF duty between the two
countries will not bs much changed, as this
branch OF the new relation already has
gone into operation.

KILLED HIS FIVE. CHILDREN.
The Murderer Also Set Fire to the House
to Conceal the Crime.

The Murderer Also Set Fire TO the house
to Conceal the Crime.
HUTCHINSON, KIN. (SpeclaD.-John A.
Moore killed his FIVE children while they
were sleeping a few nights ago and then
burned the house: The murderer Is under
arrczt. The children were Carl Moore,
aged twelve; Mary, aged ten; Pearl, aged
eight; Charlie, aged seven and Lee, aged
three years.
The house In which Moore lived in was
discovered on fire at 2 o'clock IN the
morning. When the flames were gotten
under control and the firemen entered the
i've children were found lying side by side
on bed. The lower parts OF their bodies
we're badly burned. 1t was at first thought
they had died from suffocatior, but blood
was found on the bedclothes, and when
physiciaus examined the bodies they found
the skull OF each fractured. With one e3-
ception each child had q cut In the neck,
evidently made BY knife. At the inquest
the father declared the fire started from a
lamp left burning low In the children's
room.
When the doctors testified that the
children had evidently been murdered
Moore gave close attention, but his
countenance did not change. Once or
twice he sneersd at the evidence. When
the verdict OF the jury was brought IN
charging him with the crime he still acted
ipdifferently. He refused to talk and was
taken to the County Jail. The mother OF
the children was away from home during
the night nursing a sick nelghbor. She
can give no reason for her husbands deed.
Moore came here from EmporIa three
weeks ago, and has been out OF work. He
spent las: summer farming In Oklahomn.
His wiie's father, NJ. W. Franklin, lives
here, but the family know little about
Moore. He has never shown any symptoms
OF insanity, so far as can be learned.

friction of their hands against the rope
proved too much to endure. Others lost
their heads completely and finding them
selves unable to escape by halls and stair
ways, sprang from the win6owsills to

II was only a brief time before the hotel
was In flames from basement to roof. An
hour after the flames were first discovered
the building was completely Quilted, With
q few fragments OF the walls standing In
places. The whole center OF the building
had melted with succeeding crashes into a
vast heap OF ash-besprinkled bricks. The
two big lamps on handsome Pillars still
stood unharmed before the ruined en-
trance. But the Windsor had gone. The
smoke rose In dense, binding volumes
from the heaps OF what 1t once had been
and spread for blocks about, carrying
weight OF ashes.
The terrible scenes enacted during the
early part OF the fire will never leave the
memories Of those who witnessed them.
len, women, and even children slid or
dropped from ropes suspended from the
windows or leaped out in dellriun to
death or terrible injury. One man on
the Forty-seventh street side fell upon
another man on the street, somehow
within the fire lines, and both were
Instantly killed. At some windows
men and women stood and wrung their
hands In despair At others they screamed
wildly for aid. Many oithese were guests
who had gone to their rooms for an alter
noon nap and were cut of by the flames
before warning reached than.
One handsomely dressed woman. later
identified as Mrs. Amelia Paddock, OF

arms to the croHd. then raised her bands

she clambered to the window sill, poised
for an instant, and leaped, while smoth'

turned like top and struck the iron rail-

bounding of into the areaway.

The Department Commanders Take .
:. Careful Census Of the Cuban Army
and Find 1920 Soldiers, Exclusive OF
tho Commissioned Oficerl. Entitled to
Share in the s3, 100000 appropriation.
HAVANA, Cuba (By Cable).-The Cuban
Army has 1928 men, all told. This num-
berincludes corporals and sergeants, but
excludes commissioned officers. The fig
ures are the result of the official inquiry
instituted, under the direction OF the de-
partment commanders, for the use OF the
military administration.
The reports OF the Governors Of the
provinces, as to troops, are as follows:
Santiago, none; Porto Principe, 800; Santa
Clara, 4769; Matansas, 2200; Havana Prov
ince, 245O, which includes 375 In the City Of
Havana, and Plnar del Bio, $500.
General Gomez origin ally reported that
there were $4,000 privates and non-com-
missioned officers. General Roloh, Inspec-
tor General Of the Cuban Army, was to have
presented an accurate muster roll to Gov
ernor General Brooke, but he has not done
80. As an adherent OF the Cuban Military,
Assembly, he has Joined with 1t against
General Gomez. His muster rolls, in what
ever form they may be, have been given to
Senior Rafael Portuendo, President OF the
Executive Committee Of the Assembly, but
the Governor General has assurance that
they will soon be turned over to him.
Brigadier- Ernst will represent
the military administration In distributing
the 5000, 900. The statement that there
are no. Cuban soldiers In the Province OF
Santiago has caused considerable surprise
here. as It was supposed there were many
Cubans still In arms there. Nevertheless
this Is the report Of Major General Leonard
Wood, the Military Governor.
