CUBANS WANT MORE MONEY
Will Ask United States to Sanction
an Issue of Bonds.

Washington. Feb. 3O.-Efforts are max
ing, with every prospect of success, to
reconcile the radical element among the
Cubans to the proposition of the u nited
States government to pay the soldiers of
the Cuban cause So, 900 coo. This is ex-
pected to be accomplished through
rather sweeping authorizat ton by the
United States government for the incur
ment of a considerable loan to make good
the deficiency between the sum the United
States agrees to pay to the troops and the
sum the Cuban leaders believe to be the
smallest that can be paid with benefit and
due regard to justice. So far, the propo-
sition has not taken official shape here,
but the administra ton has been quietly
have expressed qualification at the pros
poets. General Gomez himself is expect
ed to broach the plan formally when he
begins his conference with General Brooke
in Havana.
Gomez arrived today at Matanzas, max
ing his way very slowly towards the cap
ital. What is proposed is that the United
States shall sanction the floating of bonds
by the Cuban municipalities to the amount
to the Cuban troops in addition to the So
100000 to be paid by the United States. The
municipalities are to set aside a certain
proportion from the receipts from customs
and other sources of taxation to meet the
bonds.
In addition to this the United States gov
ernment is to be asked to sanction the re-
demption out of the customs receipts of
the bonds issued in aid of the Cuban re-
beIlion to the amount of 81, 5000
Data, it is stated here, will be produced
by the Cuban assembly to show that every
cent of this sum was expended in legiti-
mate war expenses.

"CAVENDISH" is DEAD.
He Was Regarded as the Worlds
Authority on Whist.

London, Feb. 2O.-Henry Jones, the
famous whist expert, widely known un-
der the nom de plume of "Cavendish,"
is dead.
He was born in London on November
2, 1881.
His Laws and Principles of Whist
Stated and Explained which appeared
in 1862, was a revelation to whist low
ers, as it was recognized as the first
great step toward the consolidation of
the rules and development of the mod
ern game.
The book was, indeed, strongly at
tackled by some authorities, at first, but
the result of the controversy was a
general recognition of the logical clear
ness and value of "Cavendish's'' rules
and conclusions. From that time Cav
endish' has been looked upon, on both
sides of the Atlantic, the greatest
authority on whist.
Henry Jones, "Cavendish," attended
the whist congress at the Chicago
Worlds fair, and visited New York in
June, 1896, to attend the sixth annual
American whist congress at Manhat-
tan Beach.
He said that the average American
whist player was superior to the Eng
lish, and said this was because the
Americans were progressive and con-
stantly studying new possibilities, while
the British were apt to play the game
as their grandfathers did before them

DECLARED NOT A CITY.
ALI Officers Ousted From Control of
Garland, Kan.

Fort Scott, Feb. 2O.-The municipal
government of the city of Garland has
been dissolved by Judge Simons of the
district court, who ouSted from office
every officer of the city, from mayor to
marshal, on the ground that the town
was illegally Incorporated as a city of
the third class a number of years ago.
The ousted officers are Mayor E. E.
Anderson, Police Judge w. A Anderson,
Councilmen A. J. Ogle, George Million,
A Hamm, J. F. Million, J. w. Golden
and Amos Morgan and Marshal Goss.
In 1896 Garland doomed, and some of
her citizens insisted on Incorporating
the town as a third class city. Much
outside property was taken in against
the will of the owners, and after a
hard fight before the county commits
sioners the boomers won and the town
was declared a, city.
The demonstrators appealed to the
state courts, but as the peculiar cir
cumstances of the case had no precedent
in the jurisprudence of the state, they
had difficulty in getting into court.
Finally, in the name of the county, they
instituted quo warranto proceedings
against the city officers of the town,
and Judge Simons sustained them by
ousting the officers and dissolving the
city organization on the ground that
the commissioners had no authority to
incorporate property outside of the
MATTED town

NO PLACE FOR OTIS
Until Next Year Though the Presi-
dent Wants to Promote Him.

New York, Feb. 2O.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley has determined to
reward several general officers for gal
lantry during the Cuban and Philippine
operations.
Upon the retirement of Brigadier Cen
eral NJ. P. Miller on March 16 Colonel
F. K Sumner, now brigadier general of
volunteers, will be appointed brigadier
general in the regular army.
No reward can be given to Major Cen
eral Otis until after June 16, 1900 unless
the army reorganization bill shall pass.
General Otis holds only the rank of
brigadier general in the regular service.
He will be appointed a major general
upon the retirement June 16, 1900 of
Major General Wesley Merritt, but the
president would like to confer promotion
upon him sooner should he have the
opportunity to do so. General Otis will
be the next major general of the regu-
lar service appointed.
Although Brigadier General D. w.
FIagler does not retire until June "a,
the goSsips in the war department are
already talking of his successor. 1t
seems to be generally conceded that
Colonel J. NJ. Whittmore will receive the
appointment of chief of ordnance.

MRS. DANIEL MANNING
Opens the Congress of the Daughters
of the American Rev olution.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-The first ses-
sion of the eighth continental congress
of the national society of the Daughters
of the American Revolution began at
the Grand Opera House today. The at
tendance of delegates from subordinate
chapters throughout the United States
was larger than at any previous time.
the opera house being filled to it's full
capacity.
Mrs. Daniel Manning, president gen
era1 of the society opened the regular
proceedings with her annual address.
1t dwelt especially on the aid the So
ciety had given to the soldiers and
sailors of the Union during the war
with Spain, saying that a result of its
labors one thousand thoroughly trained
women became nurses and over $500, 900
in money and supplies was furnished.

THERE is TROUBLE AHEAD
Scheme to Defeat Councilman Round
tree Starts Colored People on
the Warpath.

There is revolt among the colored
voters of Topeka who have been sup
porting Frank Brooks for mayor be-
cause of what they consider a scheme
of the Brooks people to defeat Council
man Roundtree of the Fifth ward who
is the only representative of the colored
race who has ever occupied a seat in
the city council.
Councilman Roundtree has made an
excellent record and he has not been
friend of the water company. He has
established a reputation for integrity
and good judgment with his fellow
members in the city council and he
should have been returned without op-
position. But the waterworks people
were not satisfied with Mr.. Roundtree'S
independence and ever since the cam
palgn opened they have been looking for
an opposing candidate.
Saturday afternoon there was a meet
ing in the office of a lawyer who has
frequently represented the water COM
pany. There were four citizens of the
Fifth ward with him and one of the
four men went from that office to the
secretary of the Republican city central
committee and entered the name of J.
B. Mills as a candidate against Mr.
Roundtree. 1t is due Mr.. Mills to say
that he was not at this conference and
it is also understood that he has not
encouraged the plan to force him into
the race. That he is Indifferent on the
subject is shown from the fact that his
assessment was paid by some one else
without his knowledge.
Today the friends of Mr.. Brooks are
endeavoring to explain the appearance
of Mr.. Mills in the field. They are max
ing all sorts of wild claims and some of
them have even tried to mislead the
colored voters by claiming that friends
of Mr.. Drew brought out the opposing
candidate. 1t is a well known fact that
Mr.. Roundtree has been a supporter of
Mr.. Drew and there is no danger that
the people will not place the blame
where it belongs.

MORGUE OVERLOOKING.
In New York Owing to Inability
to Reach the Cemetery.

New York, Feb. 2O.-With 161 of the
city's unclaimed dead on board, the
big steam lighter Columbia for more
than six hours made heroic efforts to
reach the city burial ground at Hart
island. Block ice, packing the sound
from shore to shore, shook the big
lighter, tore her stem out and at one
time threatened to crush and sink her
with her freight of dead. The Columbia
could not get within six miles of Hart's s
island, and only with great difficulty
freed herself and returned to her dock.
The bodies on board were returned to
the morgue. They represent an accumu-
lation of two weeks, and state of con-
gestion prevails at the morgue, where
there are ITO additional bodies.
