The Plan Not Approved

antiago, Jan. 5.-The explanation of the
war department of it's intentions regarding
the transfer of the customs receipts from
different ports in Cuba to Havana. is met
here by the statements from Cubans that
the plan is similar to the one adopted by
the Spaniards. When acquisitions were
made on Havana they obtained less than
per cent of what the acquisitions called
for Merchants, business men and infiuen-
tial people here say Havana has grown rich
and prosperous at the expense of the rest
of the island, and Cubans and governmental
officials at Santiago say the Cubans of Ha-
vana are responsible for General Brooke's
order on this subject
General Wood and DR.. Castillo left for
New York today, en- route to Washington
to the president the subject. 1t is
thought the situation is critical. 1t is
doubtful whether any overt act will be
committed unless the populace is aroused
by further irritating orders from Havana.

GOMEZ WILL GO
TO HAVANA
AS SOON AS THE LAST OF THE
SPANISH TROOPS HAVE
EMBARKED.

New York, Jan. 5.--A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: General
Brooke visited the members of the Amer
lean commission at Vedad on Tuesday
and consulted with the members regard
ing the matters which will be turned over
to him. These relate to military con-
victs, sick Spanish soldiers and miscel-
laneous subjects. The documents will
be left with General Brooke and the COM
mission will hold a final session to close
up affairs on Friday. General M. c.
Butler will start for Washington on Sat
urday. General Ludlow is proceeding
cautiously on the organization of the
civil administration. The address Of
Gomez received various comments. Go
meZ was known to oppose the Cuban
celebration and now his characterization
of the island as neither free nor inde-
pendent yet is interpreted to mean that
he wants to emphasize the temporary
nature of American control. American
military commanders themselves have
impressed the separate Cuban leaders so
that no controversy can arise at this
stage. Gomez's declaration that the first
duty is to provide for payment Of the
insurgent soldiers has been anticipated
by news from Washington and his state
ment that it is necessary for the Cuban
people 10 terminate lIlc lIlteINeIlllOH III
the shortest time possible is accepted
as a challenge for Cubans who favor an
nexation to declare themselves.
The remaining Spanish troops will be
embarked from Matanzas and Cienfuegos
within a fortnight and then Gomez will
come to Havana. Reports received from
the interior of the island indicate the will
lingness of the insurgents to disband if
left to themselves. The attitude of the
Spanish classes at this transition period
Is carefully watched. They are divided
among themselves and sentiment shifts
The radical element is forming into an
organization known as the Spanish col
ony. It's members propose to remain
Spanish subjects. They counsel acqui-
escence in American control to the ex
tent of avoiding conflict and disorder, but
their actions are sullen. The bishop of
Havana is president of the Spanish COL
ony in Havana. Conservative Spaniards
say he was misled into accepting the
place and that he will not handicap
American rule. He issued a pastoral let
ter two months ago counselling acqui-
escence in the change of sovereignty.
His opponents say he is encouraging
Spnaish resentment and is seeking to
embarrass Archbishop Chappelle.
Navy officers here say little regarding
the Washington report that the navy re-
sents the failure of the army command
ers to invite the naval commanders to
participate in the ceremonies at the pal
ace on Sunday. General Butler favored
inviting Commander Cromwell and other
officers. General Wade, president of the
commission, said it did not matter if
navy officers did make fuss.

REVIEW OF IRON
AND STEEL TRADE
THE IRON AGE POINTS OUT THE
FEATURES OF THE MARKET
FOR THE WEEK.

New York, Jan. Sin reviewing the
iron and steel trades the Iron Age, point
ing out the latent features of the situa-
ton, will say today. There is a coptin-
uance of activity in the iron and metal
trades, although, on the whole, the mar
ket is quite feverish and has been. AS
matter of fact, producers loaded for
many months to come are keeping within
a narrow circle of regular customers and
are inclined to discourage anything
which might foster speculation. How
heavily the steel works are engaged is in
dicated by the fact that one large concern
has one million tons of orders on it's
books, while similar figures relatively are
reported from other works. One factor is
now coming to the surface and that is
that the railroads, with the heavy tonnage
offering, are Withdrawing the special

had shot Charles Difatto, who fell, and
he had his foot on his neck holding him
down in hopes of getting his pistol to
work for another shot when Joe Difat-

down, shot him (Hodges) with a shot
gun from the door of his store, about

Is 1t Right for an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News Brevard. N. c.
1t may be question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as preventive
of suffering we feel it duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain IS Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for 20 years and have
always found it reliable. In many
cases q dose of this remedy would
save hours of suffering while physi-
clan is awaited. We do not believe in
depending implicitly on any medicine
for cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and ad-
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
presence of physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past 20 years.

sion for Signature to the Interested
Powers-F Five Matters That Are Sug-

cess-Salient Points of the Scheme.
The Hague, July 25.-The peace con-
ference has adopted final aet-which
shows how near it is to adjourning-
embodying the results of the interna-
tional peace conference. After enumer-
ating the names and qualifications of
all the delegates it says: I'm a series
of meetings in which the above dele
gates participated, inspired through
out by the desire to realize in the
highest possible measure the generous
views of it's august initiator, the con-
ference has drawn up for the approval
OF the respective governments the
series of conventions and declarations
appended:
Convention for the pacific settle
ment of international disputes. This
is the arbitration agreement
Convention concerning the laws
and customs of war on land.
Convention for the adoption of laws
against the use of asphyxiating or de-
leterious gases from balloon pro-
jectiles, and for the prohibition of the
use of bullets that easily expend in the
human body
Five Things To Be Done Yet
The final act contains five express
sions of opinion, as follows: THE con-
ference considers that limitations of
the military charges which at present
Cypress the world are greatly to be
desired for the increase of the ma
terial and moral welfare of mankind.
1.-The conference expresses the opin-
ion that the question of the rights and
duties of neutrals should be inscribed
on the programme of a conference to
be held at an early date.
THE conference expresses the opin-
ion that questions relative to the type
and calibre IF rifles and naval artillery
as examined by it~should be the sub
ject of study by the different govern
ments, with a view to arriving at
uniform solution by a future confer
ence.
THE conference expresses the wish
that an early convention be called to
revise the Geneva convention.
The conference has resolved that
questions relating to the inviolability
of private property in war on land and
the bombardment of towns or villages
in naval warfare be reserved for future
conferences"
The convention was signed by all
the plenary delegates.
Results Achieved Beyond Hope
London, July 25.-The correspondent
of The Times at The Hague says: THE
delegates to the international peace
conference are quite buoyant at the
unhoped-for results achieved. Sir
Julian Pauncefote thinks that, depite
the failure of the disarmament plan, it
will be difficult to continue arming on
the same scale as before, while-now
that permanent court of arbitration
is provided for at trifling cost-con-
tlicting states will no more turn their
backs on arbitration than would a
hungry man fail to enter a restaurant
providing good. cheap fare"

SCHEME OF ARBITRATION.
Salient Points of 1t as 1t Has Been Adopt
ed in Committee.

Salient Points of 1t as 1t Has Been Adopt
ed in Committee.
The Hague, July 25.-The scheme of
arbitration which has engaged the at
tention of the peace conference to a
greater extent than any other subject
before it has been completed in COM
mittee, and only needs adoption by the
whole conference to bring the great
gathering to close. The first article
of the arbitration scheme asserts the
benefits and practicability of peaceful
solutions OF international differences,
and pledges the signatory powers to
avoid resort to arms. Another article
declares that the signing of the conven
ton implies an agreement to submit
in good faith all difficulties and to bow
to the decision of the mediation or ar
bitration tribunal.
In case of disagreement the powers
are first to invoke the good Offices of
friendly nations, and, on their part
disinterested nations shall have the
privilege of spontaneously Offering their
mediation, either before or during hos
tilities. When differences are caused
by conflicting views as to facts which
do not involve vital interests or honor,
the powers concerned shall have re-
course to the Institution of information
al committees of inquiry. Such COM
mittees are to decide the issues of fact,
but their report is not to have the char
acter of an arbitration award.
Finally, in all questions of judicial
bearing. and especially as regards the
meaning or application of treaties, ar
bitration is to be invoked. A perma-
nent court of arbitration, accessible at
all times, is to be established Tho
awards of the permenent court are not
to be final, but subject to revision in
certain cases and under prescribed con-
ditions. The permanent court is to be
composed of four men of the highest
qualifications for their Office named by
each OF the signatory parties, and the
nations desiring to arbitrate can select
as many as they want from these. They
can also go outside of these if they so
desire.
