ROOSEYELT'S RECOMMENDATIONS.
he Thinks State Authorities Should Assess
Franchises

Albany, N. Y, May Ex-Governor
Roosevelt's message to the state legis-
lature, which meets in extraordinary
session this evening, gives his views
upon improvements in the Ford fran
chise taxation bill. The governor says:
There is evident injustice in light
taxation Of corporations A corpora
tion which derives it's power from states
should pay the state just percentage
OF its earnings as a return for the priv
ileges it enjoys. This should be espe-
cially true for franchises bestowed up
on gas companies, street railways and
the like. / deem it wise that the power
of assessing taxation franchises should
be left with state authorities, not local
authorities, this being in my view de-
sirable both for the sake of providing
against dishonest favoritism or dis
elimination against corporations by To-
cal authorities, and also for the sake of
working equity as between franchises
in different localities
The governor says The ea. int on
the help of corporations in seeing the
bill put into proper form instead of as
heretofore counting upon the opposition
of some Of them to every scheme for
making them pay their just share of
taxation =,

The Racket in Cuba.

New York, May PA special to the
Herald from Havana says that General
Gomez said in a manifesto that if occa-
sion required he would go to Washing
ton to plead for the welfare of Cuba.
Cespedes is going to America Thursday
on personal business, and Gomez may
accompany him. Gomez is fast losing
prestige with the army, and anti-Go-
mez leaders are taking every opportu-
nifty to increase the feeling of bitter
ness.
Salvador Cisneros, who was president
of the Cuban provisional government,
has published long statement, in
which he expressed confidence in the
United States, but explains that Gu
bans are naturally suspicious at the
wholly underlined policy

plan. the governor general will be ap-
pointed by the president and the cab

elected by the people. In an interview
General del Pillar said: "The insurgents
are anxious to surrender, but want an
assurance first that there will be no
putting to death of leaders of the rebel
lion, and some proof that Americans
will carry out the generous statements
of their proclamation. We realize the
hopelessness of a Filipino republic, for
the people are impoverished. and con-
tinuance of hostilities would only in
crease suffering"
Manila, May 22.-In spite of the pres
ence of the Filipino commissioners at
Manila, military operations continue
with united vigor. Visitors express sur
prise at the condition Of affairs within
our lines. They have been led to believe
everything was chaotic, and are de-
lighted at the reception accorded them.

the interior show no troops left in the
northern provinces. They were all
drafted south after the outbreak Of the
war. Villages of the west coast are al
most deserted. Illocanos especially are
desirous of Joining the Americans, if
only for the purpose of crushing the
Tagals. The only Filipino troops left
are 1000 men under General Luna at

The Peace Conference Fighting.

The Hague, May 22.-The disarma-

mittee on the laws of warfare Tuesday
afternoon, the committee on arbitra-

have had frequent conferences with the
view Of arriving at an agreement in re-
gard to the choice of officers Of COM
mittees. Apparently many difficulties
have arisen, as nothing is finally set
tied. Many exaggerated reports have
been circulated. For instance, 1t has
been said that Count Won Munster, the
head Of the German delegation, would
withdraw. Such stories must be re-
ceived with caution, as persons hostile
to the aims Of the conference have been
busily engaged in spreading distrust.
