TERMINED TO CAUSE TROUBLE
FOR GEN. GOMEZ
EDITORIALS ARE OFFENSIVE
Leading Organs Contend That the
Proposed Payments to Cuban Sol
diers Are Intended Solely to Place
the Cuban Army Within the Pow
err of the Americans-CiviI Mar
rIage Decree Is Accepted.

HAVANA, May 1.-THE civil marriage
decree recently issued in the province
Of Santiago differs from the decree on
the same subject in course of preparation
at headquarters here. The military gov
ernor of Santiago province, Gen. Leonard
Wood, acted without consultation with
the governor general, and his decree was
first heard of here through the local news
papers Probably it will not be annulled
specifically, but it will be rendered nuga-
tory by a general paragraph in Gen.
Brooke's decree covering the entire island.
Gen. Woods action in this particular
is one of a series of incidents in line
with the theory held by some that the
provinces are not so many departments in
military division, but rather so many
states, loosely connected and semi-inde-
pendent. A letter has been addressed to
Gen. Wood pointing out to him the unde-
STABILITY of an attempt to handle the af-
fairs of one province without regard to
similar conditions in other provinces, and
alleging the necessity of a uniform sys-
tenn in order to make the people homo
geneous.

The committees appointed by the Pres
byterian churches of Minneapolis to make
arrangements for the enc hundred and
eleventh general assembly which will be
held in this city at Westminster church,
beginning next Thursday, have their
work we'll in hand at the present time
and everything will be in good shape by
the time the delegates arrive.
The entertainment committee is receiv-
ing very generous response to its re-
quest for the board and lodging of the
visitors, and all who come will be well
provided for. Practically all will be car
ed for in private homes.
The committee on church arrangements
has its plans nearly finished, and prom
Uses that the arrangements will be the
best ever given the assembly. Each of
the committee of the general assembly
will have room of It's own, the alcoves,
all having been fitted up for that pur-
pose.
G. 7. Thompson, secretary Of the COM
mittee on entertainment, said yesterday
afternoon that that committee is receiv-
ing letters from all over the country and
that there will in all probability be 1900
visitors here next week They will in
clude the prominent clergy and laymen
from all over the country, and in fact
from all over the world. Every country
of any Importance in the world will be
represented, and probably in larger num-
bers than at any previous meeting
The assembly will last at least ten days,
and throughout its sessions the church
will be given up entirely to its use

was announced to the members of his
staff today, who were simultaneously noti-
fed to repair to their homes.
The order meets with resentment
among them all, they accusing
Gomez of deserving them and
declaring that they have neither homes,
work nor money. The disagreement is
serious, especially as the anti-Gomez pa
pers continue to attack the settlement
of the amount the Cuban soldiers are to
receive.
La Discussion and Ell Reconcentrado
seem determined to cause trouble. The
former, in a bitter editorial today de-
clares that the payment of SIS for an
exchange of arms is merely an attempt
to place the Cubans in the power of the
Americans. The article, which Is believed
to be inspired by Manuel Sanguilly, says:
These traitors have caused all the
complications which have placed our
country in the existing conditions, condi-
lions that, If continued longer. will cause
ferocious and bloody strife between the
Cubans and Americans"

ROSS is WANTED.
Member of Thayer Gang an Escaped
Convict From Missouri.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, May Ii
Sheriff Cotteral, of Savannah, Mo-, arrived
here today and made demand for the
person of William Ross, who has been in
Jail in this city since last fall on a charge
of being implicated In the holdup of the
Great Northern flyer. 1t was admitted
that Ross was not on the ground at the
time of the holdup, but was in Abercrom-
bic making arrangements to rob bank
there. He was arrested and indicted with
the others, however. and is also under
Indictment for robbing a bank at Battle
Lake.
1t now appears that he is an escaped
convict from Missouri where he was con-
Victed of being implicated in a bank rob-
berry and sentenced to five years mpris-
onment. A few years ago he appealed to
the supreme court, put up. straw bonds
and made his escape. The court affirmed
his sentence and the authorities have
since been searching for him. He will be
turned over to them at once. His real
name is William Laubridge.
The grand jury this morning returned
an additionl Indictment against Hoffman,
Minot and Hail. the other members of
the Thayer gang, charging them with
robbing Fireman Kennedy at the time
of the holdup. It is rumored that Gill
more, Hayward and Allen, the three men
now doing time in Missouri, are included
in the indictments.

BOLD ROBBERY AT BUTTE.
Pouch of Registered Mail Matter
Stolen by a Highwayman.

BUTTE, Mont, May IA lone high
wayman held up a mail wagon at 2:3O
this morning and secured a pouch of reg
istered mail. The wagon was driven by
Frank Godbout, who was accompanied
by G. A. Rivers, railway mail clerk,
and left the Northern Pacific depot
few minues before $780, carrying the mail
from the Utah Northern train, which ar
rived late from the south. At the cor
ner of First and Wyoming streets a man
stepped out of the shadow in front of
the team, and, pointing gun at the two
men on the seat, ordered them to stop.
Both were taken entirely unawares and
made no attempt at resistance. The
highwayman then stepped around to the
side Of the wagon, keeping the men COW
cred, and with the .dexterity of one seem
ingly familiar with the load, picked off
the registered mail pouch from among
probably fifty sacks of mail. lie then told
the men to drive ON. They Immediately
notified the police.
