An interesting report upon condi-
tions in Cuba has just been made
public by Acting Secretary of War
Melkiejohn. who expresses the
opinion that the future of the island
under staple government promises a
remarkable development of wealth.
The disturbance of ordinary condi
sions produced by the war seems to
be only transitory. Already some of
the capital taken away during the
years of war has returned, and new
capital is being attracted by the
chances of profit. The business of
the custom houses has increased
since American rule was substituted
for that of Spain This circumstance
is regarded as demonstrating better

REAR-ADMIRAL WATSON
ORDERED TO MANILA.

Washington. May S.-The navy
department has selected a successor
to Admiral Dewey to command the
Asiatic station Orders were issued
today detaching Rear Admiral Wat
SOD from command OF the Mare island
navy yard and ordering him to re-
port to Admiral Dewey at Mania to
relieve that officer when he feels that
he can be spared there Rear
Admiral Kempf. at present on wait
ing orders, has been ordered to sue
ceed Admiral Watson in command Of
the mare Island navy yard
1t was stated at the department to
day that Admiral Dewey will come
from Manila direct to New York when
be returns to the United States
However, it was added, the admiral
will not start until the commission of
which he is member, has completed
the work it has undertaken, at least
80 far as it relates to the restoration
of peace on the islands
The reason for bringing the flag
snip Olympia to New York,iostead
of having her come to San Francisco
where she was built is said to be
primarily because Admiral Dewey
desires to make the passage on bis
OWL flagship, but also fer the reason
that the Mare Island navy yard
threatens to be overwhelmed with
repair work as soon as the numerous
vessels of Dewey's feet begin to
return to the United States. The
Olympia is in need Of thorough
ove,haulipg, having been away from
her home station longer than any o1
the vessels in the Asiatic feet, and
rendered more than the usual amount
of hard service during her absence.

Uniontown, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE resi-

night. Conn and his wife, who are
over 60 years Of age, with their hired
man. John Bixler. were bound and
forced to undergo brutal treatment
for the two hours that the burglars re-
NAMED In the house. The raid yield
ed the burglars about $110 in cash, .
gold watch and some other booty. This
did not satisfy them. They had come
after the $500 which they supposed
Conn had received as the first payment
on his coal lands, which he recently
sold. Conn had not got any of the
money yet and told the intruders 80.
but they did not believe him and re-
sorted to all sorts of brutal treatment
and threats to make him yield up the
treasure. Twice he was stood up as q
target and given SO many seconds to
confess. Revolvers were rubbed over
his head and aimed at his temple.
One fellow got razor, and holding
COINS head made a movement as
though he would cut his throat. The
old man was so faint from cold and
fright that they had to give him water
to revive him, to make him sensible
to their treatment. After the burg
lars left Mrs. Conn liberated herself
by untying the knots with her teeth,
and then cut the other victims loose.

Postmaster General John Wanamaker
discusses the need of ballot reform,
and declares: "In Philadelphia we
have not had an honest election for
many. years, and the debauchery of the
ballot has acquired the system and
precision Of science with the domi-
nant so-called Republican machine.
This has not been the growth of
day or a year, but has been perfected
by steady, systematic development
of the most minute details of original
ingenuity. The machine has educated
the followers in election crime, and
rewarded them according to their per-
lection in fraudulent arts. What is
called the Democratic organization is
but an agency of the corrupt Republic

of the state, notably the strongly Re-

trict. where the Democrats claim It's

eral other equally important contests
Yesterday was an exciting day at
Vanceburg, county seat OF Lewis
county. An effort was made to throw
out the entire vote Of the county,
which gave Taylor plurality Of GOO,
on technically, 1t being claimed the
paper on which the ballots were print
ed was too thin. On this ground the
election board last week threw out
the vote of Mowers and Burtonville
precincts, which gave Taylor 200 plu-
rality, and adjourned until yesterday.
Word was passed through the county
and yesterday about 1000 citizens
fiocked into Vanceburg and gathered
around the court house when the cleo
ton board met.
i, News reached the crowd that the
commissioners were about to throw
out the vote Of another precinct. and
there was an angry demonstration.
Trouble seemed imminent, when 1t was
announced that the election board had
reconsidered its action by which the
vote of certain, precincts had been
thrown out. and that the entire vote
of the county would be counted as
cast. This prevented any further DEM
constructions.
