CUBAN BLACKS COMMENTED.
Gen. Wood Says They Are Not Rad
icaI, as Reported.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-General Leonard
Wood was in conference with President
Mckinley some time to-day. Later he COM
mented on a telegram from Santiago rep
resenting the colored Cubans in Santiago
province as incensed at President McKin-
ley's message. General Wood said: II have
received many kilograms from Santiago
province since the appearance Of the mes
sage-some of them came last night-say-
ing that the people are delighted with the
message. Even the men of ultra-radical
tendencies express pleasure openly. The
blacks especially show that they are
pleased. The keynote of the sentiment is
that the Cubans surrendered to me in the
last month $500 arms, and that all of them
are friendly. There are too few arms in
the province to cause trouble if ii were de-
sired; but the truth Is the blacks are con-
tented and are growing happier and more
prosperous every day.
General Quentin Bandera, the noted black
leader, is one of the employees of this gov
eminent at Santiago and is well satisfied
with the condition of affairs.

THE CHARGES AND REPLY.
Representative Tayler's Questions
and Mr.. ROberts's Answers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a secret ses-
sion of the committee was held this morn
ing at which Mr.. Roberts demurred
TO the jurisdiction of the committee
and made two-hour argument in de-
tense of his position. 1t was legal
controversy throughout. the facts not being
gone into at length. Mr.. Roberts concluded
by asking that his prima facie right TO
seat be at once considered, the present
status denied TO a sovereign State repre-
sentation in the House at time when in
furious legislation affecting that State
might take place. AT the conclusion Of
Mr.. Robertss statement the committee
held an executive session and then ad-
journed until p. m.
The chairman announced that subsequent
meetings would be open. and publicity also
was given TO the official stenographer's re-
ports OF the morning session.
These showed that Mr.. Tayler had sub
mitted the interrogatories referred to. In
the course of these Mr.. Tayler said (:
Charges are made that you were con-
victed in 1889 of unlawful cohabitation. and
that since then you have been guilty OF the
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-12-10

same offense; that some years ago you
contracted plural marriages, and ever since
then have maintained polygamous relations
with these wives" Mr.. Tayler also stated,
as basis for the inquiry, lone of the ma
terial facts TO be ascertained is as TO
v hether or not you contracted as early as
1887 plural marriages and have maintained
ever since polygamous relations with these
plural wives. The committee instructs me
| TO say that If YOU wish to make any state
ment about this or any other matter which
| is charged, you may do so in your own
way"
Mr.. Roberts was also shown the affidavits
| OH file. on which the foregoing inquiries
were made. His written answer follows:
"Flrst-Roberts comedies the fact estab-
| lished by the records of the Third United
States judicial District Court in and for
| the Territory of Utah. submitted for his in
spection to wit: That in 1889. in the Terri
| tory of Utah, he pleaded guilty TO the mis-
demeanor charged against him of unlawful
| cohabitation.
"Second-In the testimony submitted it
nowhere appears that there is any affi-
| davit or testimony. offered before the COM
mittee that Roberts about 1887 previous
| TO October, 1890, or since, contracted plural
| marriages, further than may be inferred
1rom his confession to the miSdemeanor of
| unlawful cohabitation in 1889 as set out in
the court records, and therefore on that
point he enters no plea because there is no
| charge or testimony alleging it.
| 'Third-ln the papers submitted which
|
ular charges against Roberts, it nowhere
| appears that there is any affidavit or other
testimony that Roberts either before or
| since 1890 contracted plural marriages, but
| as to the inquiry of the committee on this
| subject he specifically denies that since
| October, 1890, he has contracted any plural
| marriage.
.'Fourth-To the charge that ever since
| 1889, when Roberts pleaded guilty TO unlaw-
| full cohabitation in the then Territory of
| Utah, that he has lived in polygamous re-
| lations in violation of law he pleads not
| guilty.
| Roberts demurs to the proceedings insti-
| tuted before the committee on the ground
| that:
''First-The committee has no jurisdiction
| over me to try me for the alleged offense
| or the offense charged.
| "Second-Roberts further demurs to the
| evidence and papers upon which the
| charge of continued polygamous living is
| based, upon the ground that said papers
| and evidence do not state facts sufficient
| to constitute a charge against me that is
| in any way regular or tenable, or sufficient
| to deprive me of my prima facie right to
| take the oath of office and occupy the seat
| in the House of Representatives to which
| have been duly and regularly elected
and which election and right is not con-
| tested.
| "Third-That said evidence rs ambiguous,
| unintelligible and incompetent, and of such
| q character as TO make the same not wor-
| thy to be considered by the committee and
| / ask that my prima facie right to my seat
| be now considered"
