CUBAN POLICY
General Brooke Will COnfine
Himself to Terms Of the
Resolution
Adopted by Congress Before the
War-.NO Government Will
BE Recognized
And the Cuban Assembly Will Be
Considered as Any Other
Organization.
If 1t Does Not Provoke Riot
and Disturbances 1t Can Sit
at Pleasure.

WASHINGTON. March l7.-There has
been further telegraphic correspondence
between General Brooke and the war
department regarding conditions in
Cuba. with the result that hereafter
General Brooke will confine himself
wholly within the terms Of the resolu-
ton adopted by congress before the
war. No government. organization or
set Of men will be recognized. The
United States government will deal di-
rectly with the people of Cuba. 1t Is
not stated who the ''people" are, but 1t
is inferred that the United States au-
thorities will determine that point
as different questions may arise.
In the same connection 1t is re-
garded as important that the cen
sus which has been determined on
should be taken, SO rs to ascertain the
resident citizens of the island. The
Cuban assembly will be dealt with as
any other organization. If its sessions
provoke riot and disturbances it will be
dispersed like any other disorderly body
If its meetings are harmless and amount
TO nothing more than the vociferatiol
| of men. no attention will be paid to it
If the assembly gets in the way of thu

I'm view of the fact that the Demo

give the Chicago platform unanimous
support am anxious to know what you
think il likely to be the attitude OF the
party in New York state on this Ques'

OIL NEWS.

Special to the Register.
SISTERSVILLE, September 13.-
There was a report sent out from
Parkersburg Tuesday to the effect that
Gale & Hammett had drilled in their
we'll on the Lawrence farm at Newport,
Ohio, and that it was good for 700 bar
rels a day. The report was rank
fake. The we'll has not yet been drill
ed in and probably will not for sever
al days yet. Word was received from
the well yesterday to the effect that
the tools were stuck in the hole
and it was likely they would not be
gotten out for several days as it was
very bad fishing job.
Schamberg & Co. have drilled their
we'll on the S. H. Bohlen farm in the
Little Muskingum territory into the
second Cow Run or salt sand and VIII
have a producer good for fifteen or
twenty barrels a day. When first drill
ed in the well was reported to be good
for 100 barrels day and this report
caused considerable excitement among
those who have leased in that terri
tory Quite a number of people are
interested in that part of the field and
there will be a large amount Of work
started at once.
The well drilled on the Eddy farm
south and west of Elk Run couple
of days ago is reported to be good for
about ten barrels day. This we'll is
in advance of developments in that di-
rection and will no doubt be the means
of starting new work.
The Carter Oil Co. is drilling at 400
feet at their No. l on the James Mckee
farm near Scott Town. This well IS
being drilled for gas and is in close
proximity to a large number of gas
wells which have been drilled in that
territory.
The Sun Oil Co.'S well on the Con-
ny More farm between Scott Town and
Bloomfield was due in the Berea Grit
yesterday but nothing had been heard
from it this morning.
The Carter Oil Co. is drilling at 900
feet at their No 3 on the McLain farm
near Bloomfield. Their No. 2 john
Tice is 700 feet Deep and they have
the rigs up for Nos Z, s, and 8 on the
Smith and No. on the John Tice
farm, as well as for their No. l on the
Watson homestead farm.
The Carter Oil Co. is drilling at 500
