CUBA MAY DECLARE WAR
UNITED STATES WILL BE GIVEN IN
TIL JULY TO GET OUT.c
A Report Which Has Reached the Ears
of General WOod-DemoDstrntiOns
for independence at Havana.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Feb. 26.-The
United States transport Minnewaska will
leave on Tuesday. having on board the
T%wenty-third Kansas Volunteers The
Roumania will probably leave on Thursday
with the Eighth Illinois Regiment. These
troops, like the Ninth Immunes, have Of
late had no special duty to perform. The
Third Immunes, now at Guantanamo, are
under orders to be mustered out and will
withdraw about March is, leaving only
three white volunteer regiments and one
regiment of regulars available for duty in
the province. At least one more regiment
is needed by the department, preferably 4
airy, as during the rainy season it is diff
cult to move infantry.
1t was recently reported to Gen. Leonard
Wood, on reliable authority, that a prom
inent Cuban, holding a high position in this
province under the military government,
had openly stated that If the Americans did
not get out" by July Cuba would declare
war. Needless to say, the military governor
attaches no Importance to talk Of this char
acter.
Very little in the way of public improve
ments is now going on in this department.
General Wood is able to keep only what
has already been done. He has no power in
the handling of funds, except so far as the
monthly allowance is concerned, and this
prevents fresh contracts and the giving Of
work to thousands of Cubans who want it.
Santiago province gave Havana last
month $4,000. All branches of the depart
ment government, civil and military, COM
plain that they are badly hampered by or
ders from Havana. In any event, improve
ments have practically ceased.

SHOT BY A TRUMPETER.
Discharged Soldier Fatally Gun n
Crawford, Neb.. Marshal.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 26.-As the result OF
a shooting ARRAY last night at Crawford,
Neb., three miles from Fort Robinson City,
Marshal Frank D.. Mooney, of Crawford,
lies in an unconscious state with a bullet
wound in his head and Louis Grossman,
late trumpeter Of Company c, First United
States Cavalry, is confined in the county
Jail in this city with one or two charges
against him of either murder or shooting
with intent to kill, depending on the death
or recovery of Marshal Mooney. Grossman,
together with several other soldiers, We're
discharged from the army yesterday and
boarded the train at Fort Robinson. When
Crawford was reached other soldiers eE-
tered the car. All had been drinking to eX-
cess. Marshal Mooney and j. d. Hagle-
word, a Crawford saloon keeper, entered
the car at Crawford in search of Grossman.
HagleWord had a bill against the musician
and on his presenting it Grossman promptly
paid it. Mooney no sooner reached the de-
pot platform than he was shot down, the
bullet tearing through his eye and penetrat-
ing his head. He is lingering between life
and death. Grossman is charged with firing
the shot. This he denies. One soldier
stated to the sheriff without knowing his
identity that Grossman had fired a shot be-
fore the train left Crawford. Lynching is
threatened. The preliminary hearing will
be held at Crawford in the morning, where
the feeling is intense, and in case of
Moneys death it is feared that Grossman
may be summarily dealt with.
