VILE SUPPRESS G1MBKING.
General Ludlow VIII Remove tn
Temptation I'm Havana

Havana, July 23.-The commission of
prominent Cuban lawyers appointed by
General Ludlow to decide upon each re-
port as to the best methods to be adopt
ly made a complete report, which was
referred to Mayor Lacoste. 1t seems
that the old Spanish law was perfectly
able to cope with the entire ma tier, but
that it was rarely enforced owing to
the large revenue received by the gov
ernment for hospitals and other charit-
able institutions from the proprietors of
gambling establishments Occasionally
the governors could enforce the law and
all gambling would stop for months,
only to break out again and to be car
rled on with more freedom than before
The committee recognizes the fact
that gambling has now assumed pro-
portions which it is desirable to check,
and sets forth in it's report that the
Spanish law only requires the co-opera-
ton of the police to bring about the de-
sired reform, but General Ludlow, the
military governor, insists that the fault
is not with the police, who on several
occasions have made arrests and seized
the gambling outfits, only to have the
judges quash the proceedings and re-
turn the outfits to their owners. The
committee suggests police interference,
particularly with a certain class Of
clubs, so-called which are mere gam
bling hells and are frequented by many
persons 1t does not consider how
ever, that it would be advisable to in
terfere with the legitimate clubs where
whist and other games are played mere
ly as a pastime, but only with those
which are run for the profit of profess
sional gamblers
General Ludlow referred to Senor La
costa, who is enthusiastic in his desire
to suppress the evil, believing that it
has a bad effect upon the morals of the
citizens. The mayor declares that he
will exercise to the full the powers vest
I'd in him. Consequently, it is expected
that many arrests will shortly be made
not only of native gamblers but of 9TH
ars who are in the field with the object !
Of fleeing Americans. Many gamblers |
with unsavory records are in the city !,
among them being Americans, Mexicans |
and men of other nationaites. If the I
Judges know their duty IT is expected !
that the city will shortly be purified.

Trolley Car Wrecked,

Cleveland, July 23--A Euclid avenue
car loaded with passengers was wrecked
by an explosion of nitro glycerine or
gun cotton shortly before IL o'clock to-
night. -Four persons were badly hurt,
the names of the injured being Albert
X. Fassett, T. A. Smith, Mrs. Harris and
Mrs. f. c. Martin.
The explosion tore out the front end of
the car smashed all the windows and
destroyed the brake. After considerable
difficulty the car was stopped and a call
for ambulances was sent out, The mo-
torman, William Draggers, who came
from Cincinnati, was dazed by the shock
but the conductor, Frank Schroeder Of
st, Louis, escaped injury.
The force of the eXplos' on was so great
that it shook all the houses in the neigh
borhood and was heard for distance
of two or three miles. There is no clue
to the identity of the person who placed
the explosive on the track Persons liv-
ing in the neighborhood say they saw a
man in buggy stop at the corner of
Kensington street, where the explosion
occurred, and get out by the railroad
track. He remained there a short time
and then drove rapidly away.

FELL TNFRONT OF Il TROLLEY CAR.
william Jeffreys' Narrow Escape from
B"ing Ground Under the Wheels.

William Jerffeys, who lives on Brad
ley street, was struck by a trolley car
about o'clock last night near the troll
ley car depot at Granniss' Corner JEFF
freys was walking beside the track just
above the depot. He was somewhat in
toxicated and stumbled upon the track
in front of an approaching car. He fell
between the rails, and as the rails are
high on that stretch of track the car
passed partly over him without serious
ly injHring him. The car was stopped
and Jeffreys was found lying just un-
der the motor. He was pulled out and
found to be bruised. He was placed on
the car and taken to the corner of
Grand avenue and Ferry street, where
the police ambulance was called from
the Grand avenue station house.
Jeffreys was taken to the New Haven
hospital, where it was found that his
injuries were very slight, consisting of
a cut on his chin and few bruises on
his head He wanted to leave the hos
ptal last night but was kept there un-
til this morning.
His escape from being ground under
the wheels of the car is remarkable and
that he was not struck by the gear un-
der the car was due only to the fact
that the rails are so high there as to
allow the car to pass over him, simply
him a little.

Loads of Wheat Were Received

Toledo, o., July 23.-The Cincinnati
Hamilton and Dayton elevator, located
in East Toledo. was totally destroyed
by fire tonight and the loss on build
ing and contents is nearly a million dol
lars. 1t is not known how much insur-
ance is on the 100000 bushels of wheat,
but on the building there is $1S5, 900 in
various companies. The elevator has
been unusually busy for the past two
weeks and was working night and day
to store the $50 cars of wheat which
are received daily. The fact that this
was Sunday prevented the fatalities
which might otherwise have followed,
for the men had quit work early and
had been out of the place for two
hours.
A fire alarm was turned in, but before
the departments could reach the place
a terrific explosion occurred that rocked
the foundations of surrounding build
ings The building was almost imme-
diately enveloped in flames and within
ten minutes another and more terrific
explosion occurred which tore out the
entire side of the building near the riv-
er and it was this explosion that buried
the watchman, W. e. Welch, who was
in the building, out of the flames and
saved his life. He was only slightly in
jured
The building was a mass of ruins in
q half hour after the first blaze was no.

was futile and most of their energies
were directed toward saving the adton-
ing property. The Cincinnati Hamil-

An elevator owned by this company
was burned on the same site four years
ago and the present building was built
to be the most complete and most per-
feet in the country. 1t was provided
with every appliance to prevent loss by

prise. The building had a capacity of
j, 10000 bushels and within a few days
would have carried it's capacity The
actual loss to the company will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000, while the
grain which is on consignment will be

quckness of the fire leads to the opin-
ion that some of the grain will be saved
in a damaged condition. The fire de-
partment claims spontaneous combus-

GREATER THAN REPORTED.
General Otis Sends Encouraging News
to Washington.

Washington, July 23.-The war de-
partment to-day received from General
Otis another dispatch giving additional
particulars of the fight between Captain
B. A. Brine, with seventy men of the
Sixth infantry and robber bands in the
island of Negros. 1t shows that the vic
tory of the soldiers was greater than
that reported in General Otis dispatch
of July 81, and that the loss suffered by
the robbers was considerably larger
than before stated. Much satisfaction
is felt by General Otis over the results
of this preliminary effort in dealing
with this disturbing element in the
island, and he reports it already is hav-
ing a salutory effect on other bands in
Testing the locality.
