CUBANS AT L0GGERHEADS
Suspicious of One Anther as They are
Of Ara ricans


Havana, March 4-The Cuban assembly
has requested the newspaper men of Ha-
vana upon their honor as journalists and
good, patriotic Cubans," not to publish
anything they may learn about the as
sembly's secret sessions, thinking that
public knowledge of what it doing may
be used against the assembly in its sub
eQuent dealings with the United States"
This, it is claimed, shows that no Indi-
vidual member Of the assembly trusts an
other.
Last night there was much mysterious
cafe whispering. It seems that a consid-
cradle portion of the time during the ses-
sions of the assembly is spent in insult
ing Americans and General Gomez, and
in personal collisions between the mem
bers. Fney also, it is added, accuse each
other of accepting brides from the United
States which accusations are followed by
threats Of duels. Ii addition 10 this, the
Cuban assemblymen consider that the
planting of General FitzhUgh Lees flag
staff four metres deep in the ground Is a
sure sign OF the continuance OF the Amer
lean occupation Of the island. These re-
ports, arising from the prolonged and
boiSteTous secret sessions. have made the
doinss Of the Cuban assembly the Joke OF
Havana. la Quasima issued an extra
based on the speeches of Messrs. Sewal
and White in the senate, declaring the
eventualities OF the war between the
United States and Cuba. It says: 1t Is
orninoUs THAI the senate has decTeed 70
exterminate me F1Iipinos. The United
States, encouraged by the asserted vic
tories in the Philippines. may inaugurate
the same policy in Cuba. 1t behooves al

The Prince of Wales wonderful scheme

nection with which g. new order has been
established, for those who collect and pro
mote the collection OF subscriptions for
the Prince of Wales hospital fund, five
years work being required for admission
TO the order, is severely criticised in sew
eral quarters. The Daily News thinks
the prince has not been fortunately advis-
ed in committing himself and in securing
the sanction of the queen to such a
scheme. The paper calls it "an organiza-
ton of snobocracy by the aristocracy
which is repugnant to the idea of char
.ty and not calculated to add to the dig
nifty of the throne"

There has been a revival Of the senSa-
ton caused a few weeks ago by the al
legged disappearance of Prince Ludwig
Won Lowenstein Wertheim, who married
Anne. Seville. a daughter of the Earl Of
N1exboro. He moved a good deal in Eng
lish society and then disappeared mysteri-
Ously. An advertisement inquiring after
his whereabouts caused considerable
speculation in the London press and a
telegram from Manila has been published
saying that the prince is at Manila, has
been there for many months, was present
a the destruction of the Spanish feet and
was a member of the European club, but
it is added. his behavior aroused suspicion
and he was thought TO be acting as the
confidential agent of the German govern
ment. Before Manila surrendered. it is
further alleged. the prince was allowed
to pass in and out Of the Spanish and in
surgent lines, each party apparently re-
Earding him as favorable to themselves.
For few days, it is even asserted. he
was voluntary aide-de-camp Of General
Miller, though he was never connected
with the American army. The English
papers are wondering what is the mean
ing Of these mysterious movements"

Farmers Behind With Planting

Washington, April 1.-THE weekly
crop report of the weather bureau is
sued today says:
The seaso is unusually late in all
districts east Of the Rocky mountains.
except over southern and western Tex
as. The ground is still frozen to a con-
siderable depth in the states of the up
per Missouri valley, frost being still in
the ground as far south as northern
Missouri, with considerable snow on the
ground over the northern portions OF
he upper lake region and New Eng
land.
From the middle Rocky mountain re-
gion, eastward to the Atlantic coast,
the season is v~ariously estimated to be
from two to four weeks late, and, as
a result, farming operations are much
delayed, the ~unfavorable temperature
conditions in the Ohio valley, Allan
tic coast and east gulf states being ac-
companied by excessive precipitation,
tending to further delay.
Over the central and eastern portions
of the cotton region but little cotton
has been planted. In southern Texas
much cotton has been planted and
planting will soon be general In the
northern portion. Some of the early
planted cotton was killed by recent
frosts in Texas.

shafter Before the Beef Court

Washington, April 11.-Major Gener-
al Shafter, who conducted the campaign
against Santiago, was the principal
witness before the beef inquiry board
today. His statement differed little
from his testimony before the war in
v~estigating commission. He said he
ate canned roast beef cold and found
it not disagreeable. The refrigerated
beef was as fine as any he ever ate.
The men who suffered for lack of food
had only themselves to blame. IL there
had been mistakes. congress, which
provides the rations and clothing OF
soldiers, was responsible. He admit
ted that he had never heard of canned
roast beef before the war. While IL
was not very palatable in the tropics
he thought it would be very good in a
cold climate.
Some Of the Pennsylvania volunteers
gave direct testimony as to the tainted
character OF the refrigerated beef and
the canned roast beef.

CHINESE LOSE THEIR QUEUES

Officers for LoOtfnS Philippine
Houses

Washington, April 1.-THE incoming
mails from Manila bring many queer
stories of events connected with the
war now in progress between the Unit
ed States troops and the insurgents.
When Macarthur led the first onslaught
to the north upon the insurgent strong
hold, the United States military COM
nde were amazed at the extent of
the loOting practiced by the non-com-
batants The Chinese took a leading
part in this looting, beginning it before
h ~retreating insurgent forces were
fairly L of a town. They apparently
had no conception of the enormity of
the offense and it had been reluctantly
concluded 10 noe some of these Chi
nese looters for the sake of example,
when a young officer cut off the queues
Of a half dozen Cinnamon who had
been taken red-handed. The footing
stopped and the Chinese disappeared
as if by magic from the whole province.

ON our OutpOsts Betw cen Manila and
MalOlos-AttemPs TO Wreck n Train

Manila, April 11.-5:40 p. mat
about midnight the rebels cut the tele-
graph line at several places between
here and Malolos and signal fires were
lighted and rockets sent up along the
foothills to the right of the railroad.
Later the enemy attacked the outposts
Of the Minnesota regiments between
Bigaa and Bocave, five miles south of
Malolos, killing two men and wound
ing fourteen.
simultaneously the outposts of the
Oregon regiment at Mariliao, the next
station On the way to Manila were at
tackled, with the result that three Amer
leans were killed and six wounded.
The Americans also captured two pris-
oners.
Troops were concentrated along the
railroad as thickly as possible and the
rebels driven back to the foot hills. The
roadbed of the railroad was damaged
but it was repaired almost Immediately
and traffic was soon resumed through
to Malolos.
1t is supposed that many Of the rebels
who attacked General MacArthur's
line of communication and who were
repulsed by the troops commanded by
General Wheaton were natives who en-
tered that region in the guise Of friend
lies. They had seemingly secreted
arms in several places, and fired on the
Americans from the bushes at SO close
a range that they could be heard talk
ing. One of the Philippines yelled in
English: 1--WE will give you damned
Americans enough of this before we are
through"
The rebels undermined the railroad
at Mariliao and unspiked the rails in
an effort to wreck a train, while the
railroad gang participated in the fight.
The work of the rebels was discovered
and repaired before the train arrived.
General Wheaton is preparing to push
the Philippines.
The military gunboats Napidan and
Laguna de Ray have succeeded in en-
tering the Santa Cruz river and have
captured small unarmed Spanish gun
boats and three launches which they
discovered there.
The military gunboat Oeste brought
thirty-two rebel wounded, n dead
Philippine and six wounded Americans
to the hospital.

Washington, April 11.-After mature
by the Nicaraguan government in the
matter of the recollection of taxes al
ready paid by the American merchants
at B~luefields, the state department has
seen no reason to modify its original
conclusion that General Torres prac-
tice is clearly illegal and in degroga-
ton Of the rights Of these American
merchants. Therefore, a strong in
struction was today addressed to United
States Minister Merry, to be presented
to the Nicaraguan government at Man
aqua, looking to the discontinuance Of
the practice.
