HAVANA, Feb. 27.-The owners of the
Toledo plantation near Marianao complained
10 General Fitzhugh Lee recently that
Cuban soldiers carried away tons of sugar
cane every day for the purpose Of eating it.
Major Russell B. Harrison the provost mar
shall, with guard OF twenty-five men went
to the plantation yesterday, caught fifty
Cubans and disarmed them A number OF
Others escaped. AS the provost guard was
marching back about 500 Cuban soldiers
came running over the hill, brandishing
their rifles. Major Harrison believed that a
rescue was intended and he aligned his men
and ordered them to load their rifles. He
then directed a Spanish-sp speaking soldier TO
tell the Cubans that they must not come any
nearer, else he would shoot.
Followed by a crowd of Cubans, Major
Harrison and the prisoners marched to the
headquarters of General Mayi Rodriguez, a
Cuban commander, to whom the prisoners
were transferred, the major taking a receipt
for them. The American military authori-
ties treat the Cuban soldiers as though they
belonged to a foreign army. not Furnishing
them in the civil courts, but committing
them to the justice of their own command

ANOTHER POINT IS CONCEDED
American Insurance Companies May
lie Restored to Their Former
standing In Germany.

WASHINGTON, Feb 27.-The German
government has given an evidence Of its pur-
pose to facilitate friendly commercial rela-
tions with the United States by taking steps
TO ascertain whether or not 1t is possible TO
remove the impediments to the operation OF
American insurance concerns IN Germany
These concerns had built up an enormous
business in Germany, which was suddenly
brought to an abrupt termination by the
application to them by the German govern-
ment of certain rules with which it was
totally impossible to comply. Remoustrances
proved futile and although Secretary Olncy
made the matter one for special attention,
the negotiations came to naught and the
insurance men were obliged to sacrifice
their Interests in Germany.
Now, however, information has reached
here that the German government is sending
10 the United States two officers COUNSEL
lors of state, Baron Bieberstcin and Herr
Hoppe, representing the ministry of the in
terror, to confer with the heads of the three
great American Insurance concerns which
were principally interested in the subject
with a view of resumption Of the business
of these companies in Prussia at an early
date.

The BEE WHEEL CONTESTS
The More that Enter the Contests, the Easier
the Wheels Will Be Won,
ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BEES GREAT PLAN
Irs So simple ana Easy that Every
Council Bluns BOY or Girl ana
older People, Too. VIII Hus-
tie In the Contests.

Every boy and girl will want to ride
wheel this spring and The Bee is going to
give you a chance to get one In very
simple way. What is more, 1t is going to
let you pick out any make wheel you want,
for II knows you all want certain make,
which is the only make on earth
Now let us tell you how The Bee is going
to give the wheels away We want lot oil
new subscribers to The Bee in Council
Bluffs As soon as the first 800 orders have
been handed into our office, the first con-
test closes and we will award the wheel TO
the one bringing the most orders out OF
this 300. Then Contest No. ] closes and Con-
test No opens on the next 300 orders.
Just see how easy this is. Say only thirty
girls and boys start out on March l to get
subscribers. They only have to average ten
apiece to make the total, so the winner Will
not have to get very many orders, you see.
You want to start in early and hand in your
orders as soon as possibre.
Now about the orders. Each order must
be for an actual new Council Bluffs sub
scrber. Each subscriber must take The Bee
for at least three weeks and pay for it in
order to be counted 1t is better, but not
necessary, to pay in advance, only no order
will be counted until the subscription is
paid for. If the subscription is paid for in
advance it will count one on your score for
each three weeks for which it is prepaid.
For example: If a subscriber pays in ad-
vance for six weeks, 1t counts two; If he
pays for twelve weeks it will count four;
If he pays for one year, 1t will count seven
teen. On orders which are not paid in ad-
vance it will count only one on your score
no matter how long he Continues to take 1t.
There, that is plain, isn't it? Now see
what you can do. The first contest begins
March l. Sincerely yours,
OMAHA DAILY BEE,
Council Bluffs Department.
N. B.-Call at The Bee office, 10 Pearl
street, to register and get sample copies No
one connected with The Bee will be allowed
to enter this contest.

Leaving Their Homes.

KINGSTON. Jamaica, Feb. 27-Further
advices from Cayenne, capital OF French
Guiana say that additional French troops
have been dispatched to Counan because
the governor received information that a
strong body of Brazilians was proceeding
up the river. 1t is presumed the French
troops went to meet them.
Every effort is being made to suppress
official news about the situation between the
bellicose commissioners and their forces.
But private advices received from fugitive
settlers say the present state of affairs is
due to the Braziians. who attacked the
Frenchmen and forced the latter to act in
self defense after a hot dispute between
the commissioners, from which the Brazil
ians hastily withdrew and removed to their
camp. In the collision few men were killed
and some wounded on both sides.
The camps, it appears, subsequently main
tained a watchful peace while awaiting in
structions. The natives are said TO be pre-
pairing to join in the fighting II hostilities
are renewed, which is causing the foreign
settlers to fee from the disturbed district.

Capital.

DEs MONIES, Feb. 27.-(Special Tee-
gram. )--Vice President Potter of the Chi
cago, Fort Madison & Des Moines railroad
arrived in the city this afternoon TO look
over the situation dn regard to the affairs
of his road. That road will be built to Des
Moines within the coming year from its
present terminal at Otturuwa. IL is believed
that the Santa Pc is working in conjunction
with this line for an entrance to this city.
II leaked out today that a clever forger
has been working the merchants for several
days past. He has gone to grocers, station
cry stores, flower stores. etc, purchased a
small amount of goods and rendered in pay
ment checks of from sl5 to $50, apparently
drawn by Ewing & Jewett, a prominent
lumber firm, and endorsed on the back by
George A. Jewett, jr. The forger has been
successful in every instance and rendering
these checks after making small purchases
and ordering the goods sent to Jewett's
home has received from $13 to SIS in change.
He has disappeared and the police have no
clue.
State Auditor Merriam said today that his
report of the condition of state school funds,
which will be completed in a few days, win
show that there is over 600 in school
funds in the possession of counties unloaned.
There is no demand for this money and
with interest rates falling the fund cannot
bo invested in accordance with legal re-
quirements. The law requires that counties
stal not loan at less than per cent, and
only in sums of $500, but permits a loan of
$1,000 when less cannot be made None over
$1,000 can be made, and each loan must be
on real estate The counties are compelled
to hold all money they cannot loan and are
compelled to pay the state per cent
whe her invested or not. The funds are not
in demand because other money is cheaper
and things are in such a bad state that
there is talk of revision OF the laws relating
TO school money. 1t has been suggested that
they be amended 10 give the state executive
council the authority TO loan and otherwise
superlntend the money.
A dispatch from Ames says that Brigadier
General James Rush Lincoln has reached
his home i'm that city, having been relieved
from duty preparatory to his discharge. He
has been stationed for several months in
charge of a brigade at Greenville, N. C.

TRIAL OF A GERMAN BARON
Foreign NObleman Answers for the
Killing of n Constable
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Baron Curt Won Bied-
enfield was placed on trial today, charged
with the murder of Constable Charles Nc
Donald in a saloon on November 20. The
trial opened before a large crowd OF specta-
tors, including number of people prominent
in Chicago society There was no prelim-
mary oratory., The empaneling of jury
began at once. The defense, IT is said, will
make no attempt to deny the shooting, but
will confine itself to establishing the former
good reputation of rhe baron. 1t will be
brought out that Mcdonald repeatedly
threatened Biedenfeld and that the latter
was in constant danger of his life. Along
these lines it will be argued that the killing
of Mcdonald was justifable homicide.
Mcdonald was formerly detective for an
agency with whom Won Biedenfeld had deal
ings. Baron Won Biedenfeld is a German
nobleman, an ex-captain in Emperor Will
liam's cavalry. The baron is the husband
of a niece of a Chicago multi millionaire, the
late Columbus r. Cummings.
Before court adjourned for the day four
jurors had been secured and sworn, three
other talesmen had been accepted by both
sides 1t is believed the entire jury will
be chosen by tomorrow afternoon and the
examination of witnesses will be begun

SENATORIAL CHANCES OF quay.
Effect of Postponement of Trial VIII
ONLY DeInY Election.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 27.-The post
ponement of the trial of Senator Quay Gre
ated a sensation among the legislators and
politicians at Harrisburg. Captain James
Clark, who is in charge at the Quay head
quarters, says it is an outrage. He claims
Senator Quay was ready and anxious to go
ahead with the trial and that his friends had
every assurance that he would be honorably
acquitted. Senator Meredith, a strong Quay
man, says the postponement means the cleo
ton of Senator Quay this week Senator
McFarrell another Quayite, is certain his
jury bill will become law before the time
fixed for the trial.
Captain William Hasson, one of the house
democratic leaders, is confident District At
torney Rotherme had reason to ask that the
case go over and says the postponement will
have no effect on the senatorial deadlock
except to proong it until after the trial
This seems to be the general opinion of the
leaders of the faction opposed to Senator
Quay. e. A. Valkenberg, the leader of the
antiQuay forces says the postponment was
q great surprise.
