FRANCHISE FOR WOMEN
GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT ADVOCATES
EXTENSION or SUFFRAGE.
An Explanation of What He Meant in
His Message-GovernOr Pingrce
on Taxafion.

ALBANY. n. Y. Jan. ALBANY is a CEN
ter of suffrage agitation The female advo-
Gates and opponents Of woman suffrage are
wrought up over Governor Roosevelts mes
sage, in which he advocates gradual extern
sion of the suffrage to women. There was
great perplexity among the ladies interested
as to what the Governor really meant. To
an Associated Press representative Gov
ernor Roosevelt tonight said that what he
meant in that message was a gradual eX-
tension of suffrage to woman. How far to
extend 1t he is not certain. He believes that
the condition of a large number of women
should be bettered. He thinks that an apel-
ioration could be brought about by social
influences and development of the mind. He
is not sure that legislation can accomplish
much but if it can do a little he is willing
to try 1t. Woman suffrage has worked well
In the school district in which Oyster Bay
is situated, and the Governor thinks it
might work well elsewhere. A gradual ex-
tension would not work any radical change,
but, on the contrary, would prove step by
step the value of an accordance Of this privi-
lege to women.

RACE ISSUE In CUBA.
Quintin Bandera's Complaint 40 Major
General Wood.


Correspondence of the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 27.-Quintin
Bandera, the colored major of insurgents,
against whom charges have been made by
white Cubans, called at the palace to-day to
see General Wood. After denying the al
legations against him, Bandera said that 50
per cent. of the Cubans in this part of the
island are negroes. and that the white Gu
bans are fearful lest they should get control
of the affairs Of the province. Bandera told
General Wood that he was perfectly salts
fed for the white 20 per cent. to represent
the Cubans of the province, and did not OBJ
Ject to their getting the majority of the
lOaves and fishes, but he did think that the
negro element should be considered in the
matter of appointments.
General Wood informed Bandera that he
recognized the fact that the faction he rep
that in the appointments he was to make
they would certainly be remembered and
given what they were competent to do, but
owing to the fact that the better appoint
mentS required men of education, and the
negro element here being mostly illiterate,
the majority of the higher appointments
had gone to educated Cubans.
Major Brooks, of the Second West Indian
Regiment, has arrived with mission from
the British government to study the initia-
tory movements Of the troops in this island

the leading members of the Garrison Polo
Club, of Kingston, and who is also inter-
called on General Wood to see if some ar
engagements could not be made whereby the
polo players of Jamaica and the polo play

VOLUNTEERS CRITICISED.
Spendthrifts, Captain Hardin Says,
Should Not Be Fed at Public Expense.

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 5-Captain Hardin
United States army, who was formerly
colonel in command of the Second New York
Volunteers, was sent here to muster out the
First Regiment, lately returned from Homo
lulu. AS soon as he came he was asked to
reimburse the citizens committee for money
expended in the care of some of the men,
He refused and read Il lecture about the
volunteers that has created a sensation. He
said: These men were granted a sixty
days leave of absence a few days after
their arrival in this city and could have
gone anywhere they desired If they did
not have any money with which to leave the
city or pay for then board it was no ones
fault but their own. Every soldier who en-
listed for the war received his salary, and
if he preferred to spend it and arrive at his
home without d dollar in his pocket it was
his own lookout, and he should not be fed
at the expense of the citizens committee
or any one else. AS soon as the men were
given furlough the government was no
longer responsible for them until the eX-
piration Of the leave of absence. And even
If the quartermaster had remained in the
city he would have no authority to provide
for the men unless they gave up their fur
Tough and returned to the post and went to
work.
These men are all able bodied. Why did
not they go to work during their furlough?
The government docs not care what they
do. A large number of these men received
in salary and equivalent, money equal to
that which they would have earned If they
had remained at home, and if they did not
save enough to take them to their homes
(and l understand the largest part of them
live within short distance of Albany, 1t
is a mistaken conception of the word charity
to do anything for them and the citizens
committee has no right to ask or reason to
expect that the government will reimburse
them for taking care of the soldiers.
THE men who belong in San Francisco,
about eighteen in number, were given the
choice of being discharged in San Fran
unanimously decided on the latter. They
find now that they are here, that they can
not get work and expect some one is going
to feed them or send them back home. When
they are mustered out they will receive
transportation, which amounts to about
days pay for every twenty miles, and will
therefore be able to get home and have
money in their pockets when they get
there. -

PINGREE's HOBBIES.
Governor Opposed TO Ex-
pAnsiOn and still warning ON Trusts.


pHnsiOn and still warning ON Trusts.
LANSING, Mich Jan. 5.-Governor Pin
gree to-day read his message to a joint ses-
sion of the Legislature. 1t is a voluminous
document of about 250O0 words and deals
with all the Governors proposed taxation
reforms, declares against expansion and in
Weighs at great length against trusts and
corporations. He argues that railroad and
other corporations should be brought under
the general tax law instead of being as
sessed on their gross earnings, as at pres
emit Governor Pingree recommends the re-
pealing of the special charters of the Mich
igan Central and Detroit, Grand Haven &
Milwaukee railroads so as to bring them
under the general tax laws. The attempt
at the special session last spring to pass
the Atkinson bill, which has equal taxation
for its object, is referred to- and the Gov
ernor severely criticises some federal office
holders for alleged lobbying against it. The
Governor recommends moderate income
tax upon all incomes above 81 900 year
The progress made by trusts in recent
years has alarmed the Governor He ad-
vocates that Congress should take this mat
ter in hand, as State legislatures, he says,
are poWerleSS, because corporations would
simply be driven from one State to another
by any attempt at legislation on the part Of
the States.
Governor P1ngTee finds fault with the
present national administration. saying that
the war was precipitated by the clamor of
an INSCRIPTIONS press with the co-opera-
ton OF equally interruptions politicians,
who hoped that the excitement and hys-
terra of war would distract the popular
mind from the abuses of their misgovern-
ment and from the grievances which our
people suffered and still suffer, greater than
those which any of Spains subjects had to
complain Of Decided opposition is eX-
pressed to annexation of the Philippines,
the Governor claiming that they are in no
way necessary for our safety, or even use
full as are the Hawaiian islands or the An
TILES. He says: 1.-THE scheme of annexation
is simply a weak imitation Of the policy of
European monarchies. conceived in appar-
ent ignorance or Indifference respecting the
vastly different conditions which have
forced those powers into distant colonial
ton"
Relative to public ownership of railways,
Governor Pingree says: II most earnestly
recommend that the Legislature inaugurate
a policy looking to the ultimate purchase
by the State of all the railroads within its
limits"
The Governor recommends that law he
passed providing that all candidates for
each elective office from Governor down to
ward officers be nominated by direct vote
of the electors"
