GILMORE'S FATE UNCERTAIN,

special cable dispatch to the New York

Admiral Dewey in an interview TODAY

Spanish soldiers and priests who are being
besieged in church there. The soldiers
refused to surrender when ordered to lay
down their arms by General Rios at the end

Admiral Dewey said he did not know

had been sent to sound the mouth of the
river, but went beyond the bend. out of

humans of Santiago DenOunce Recent
Order From Havana.

A Santiago de Cuba dispatch of yesterday
says: The special committee appointed by
the board of trade to inquire into the mu-
Eic1pal tax situation made its report at a
pubic meeting this afternoon at the San
Carlos Club.
According to the committee, Gen. Brookes
order abolishes licenses and all taxes ex-
cept per centston the incomes from land.
AT present only seven plantations are op-
Grating in the province. and practically no
houses are being rented in the towns. The
municipal revenues have been reduced from
SsonO to $1,000 per month in Santiago and
there have been similar reductions in other
towns. Public works and schools must be
stopped, 5000 persons are out of employ
ment, and as soon as the small surplus is
exhausted 1t will be necessary to resume the
free distribution of food in order to prevent
starvation. Outlawry is almost certain to
follow.
1t was also shown In the report that while
the actual revenues of the island are
$15,O0O.000 a year. Santiago province-rep-
resenting one-thrd of the area and one
NTH of the population, and collecting $780,
900 a month-receives of this total only
100000 from Havana. and, moreover, Is not
allowed TO collect additional taxes of a
sef-imposed nature.

JUDGE BAKER, of the u. 8. Court, at
Evansville. Indiana, q few days ago,
SEQ red jury severely for acquitting q
bank President, who had wrecked q
bank, and had virtually confessed to it,
before the Court. The Judge said it was
such verdicts that caused mobs and
lynchings. He said:
"Lone experience at the bar and on the
bench satisfies the Court that there is
more danger af the miscarriage of justice
where wealthy people who have commit
ted crimes are concerned than in the case
of some poor fellow who has committed
some petty depreciation; in such cases as
that 81 . course Of the administration OF
justice is usually pure and untampered
with, and yerdicts are reached in exact
accordance with the law and the facts;
but where banks are wrecked, or rail-
roads are wrecked, and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars lost, it seems, some way.
that it is difficult to persuade the jury
that man accused of great crimes de-
serves punishment. Aud am impressed
with the belief that such miscarriage Of
justice tends very largely to bring about
that condition Of social unrest that leads
bad men to organize mobs and hang peo-
pie who have been guilty of nothing
worse than . systematic series Of petty
depredations.
