Havana, June 27.-At a meeting held
yesterday at the Union club, an i'm
portant organization, including some
of the best people in Havana, political
matters were discussed. Among those
present were several appointees OF
Gov. Gen. Brooke, but they took no
part in the discussion. One speaker,
a Cuban officer, took up a great deal
Of tile time of the meeting. He said
Gen. Brooke was following a wrong
course in giving politicians govern
ment positions, while military men are
getting nothing. "This method" he
declared, Twill eventually lead to
trouble. Those who defended the
country deserve recognition and will
tire of being ignored"
Another speaker said:
.Only those having influence with
Secretary Alger, through Washington
pciLtments, and there are some OF
the war;"
A prominent Havana club was the
scene of @ disturbance last night be.
tween two very well known Cubans
and several American officers, all Of
whom had been drinking. The Gu
bans began cursing the American adj
ministration, President Mckinley, the
United States troops and their officers.
Finally. one of the American officers,
thoroughly out Of patience, struck a
Cuban in the face. The latter de-
manded a duel, but the former only
laughed at him. The Cuban called for
q gun and. said he would shoot his as
sailant anyway. At this juncture a
p::rty of Americans and Cubans inter-
fered and sent the disturbers about
their business. An hour later some
CCbans returned and began demand
ing satisfaction, but the Americans
had left the club. The CubaGs, who
are prominent in local society, have
no political Importance whatever.

Cleveland. Ohio. June 27.-Only one
outbreak of violence attended the re-
sumption of traffic on all the lines of
the Big Consolidated Street railway.
There was objection in some parts Of
the city to. the retention of the non
union men who were kept by the COM
pany. A party of $50 men assembled
near the Brooklyn bridge, just south of
the city. and whenever Il car came
along with n non-union crew the pas
sengers were asked to disembark and
wait for a a manned by a union
crew. In most cases. the passengers
did as requested. Finally Il non-union
conductor undertook to argue with the
crowd and he was promptly struck
over the head with n club and he and
the motorman driven away. The
crowd refused to permit the car to
move until Il union crew came along
and pushed it to the barn.

Walker, MIMI, June H.-The many
rumors that have been hoa:ing in the
air relative to the renewal Of t:espass-
ers from the Indian reservation were
confirmed yesterday when Capt. Mcr-
Ger. Indian agent, received peremptory
orders to remove all white people Off
the Chippewa Indian reservation with
in thirty days. This means the OBJ
liberation of the thriving village Of
Cass Lake, the division headquarters
Of the Great Northern railway on its
Fosston extension. The railway prop
erty is not included in this order, for
President Hill holds his right of way
through the reservation by an act of
congress.
For several months the Indians have
been dissatisfied with the condition of
affairs as they existed at Cass Lake.
White meen have cut the timber on.
the reservation whenever they wanted
any for building purposes and whisky
has been sold to whites as well as In
dams. Fishing parties have raidcd the
best fishing grounds of the reservation,
and the evil was becoming so serious
that the attention of the secretary of
the interior was drawn to the facts
aud his order issued for every white
man to vacate. .-'

And Now HIS Heirs Fight Over b
~ Property.
Sioux Falls, s. D., June 25.-It has
just leaked out that papers have been
field here which will result in one Of
the most sensational ever tried
in Sioux Falls. The case involves the
property Of Isaac Turner, a wealthy
and prominent man, who died here a
few days ago and whose body was
taken to Waterloo, Iowa, for burial.
The heirs are the widow. and four chill
dren, the former and sons Jacob and
Charles residents of Sioux Falls, one
at Waterloo, Iowa, and the other a res
ident of Illinois. The deceased failed
to execute a will, but Il short time prior
to his death he expressed a wish that
C. T. Lorimer Of this city be appointed
administrator of his estate. This was
apparently satisfactory to all the heirs.
Now his son Charles has filed a petit
ton, through his attorney, asking for
his own appointment as administrator.
The other heirs say they will bitterly
figh this and that sensational facts
will be divulged.

ger returned 70 The city last night after

ance with Gov. Pingree, who, it has
been stated, is opposed to the admin
istration of President Mckinley. He

he should not continue to hold his posi-
ton as Il member of the cabinet. Gov.
