MERE FABRlCATIONS.
Report That Cubans Would Refuse Amer
lean Cratutty IS False.

Havana, June 11.-Some weeks ago
dispatches We're published in the loca,
papers purporting to come from San
tiago De Cuba. and announcing that
| the Cubans there had absolutely re-
fused to accept the American gratuity.
These messages were really fabricated
by officers of the late Cuban army in
this city, two nights before they ap-
peared in the cafe of the Hotel Ingle-
terra.
The consul of a foreign power, who
understands Spanish perfectly. sat at
table adjoining the one used by the
cuban officers in question. and heard
| every word of the messages as nnally
agreed upon, including the -rreetiuns
| in the original draft and the details
OF the plan for forwarding the matter
| to Santiago and having it teiesraphed
! from that point to Havana, as if sent
| from a Cuban official.
The plan was executed according to
| program. The consul, who overheard
! the plot is man of undOubted veraci-
| ty Though at present he objects TO a
! public use of his name and is not u1-
( friendly to the Cubans, he believes that
/ tricks like these, tending 20 InJure
/ American influence. are unWlse ana
/ ought to be exposed.
/ Senior Federico Mora, fiscal of the su-
preme court and former civil governor
/ Of Havana, says that one of the first
| duties Of the court will be to establish
| the writ of habeas corpus. It is the
| opinion of most Cubans, judging from
/ their conversation with the Americans,
/ that judicial committee should be ap-
pointed to do away with all the OBJ
/ jectiOnable laws of the late regime
! According to the present law, any
! Spaniard engaged in business in the
| island has commercial advantages in
/ respect to taxation and other matters
! over Americans and all other foreign
ers. This is especially the case with
| large corporations.
senior Perfecto Lacoste, the mayor,
offered the cab owners police protection
if they would supply new drivers to
take the places of those out on strike.
About 70 men We're engaged, but they
did not put in an appearance this morn
| ing for work, and consequently the sit
uation today was practically I'M
changed. Presumably the new men
| furnished the regular drivers.
Domingo Rossi, chief of detectives in
MatanZas province, went last week into
/ the province Of Puerto Principe, having
been informed that many arms were
stored in various parts of the province.
! After a fruitless search among the
small towns and isolated houses, he
| found yesterday 700 cartridges and 400
guns, mostly Mausers, concealed under
| the ruins of a deserted farm house near
the trocha, in the vicinity Of Placetas.
The arms evidently belonged to Span
! ish volunteers who have sold many
| large quantities.

wholesale dealer in the article to a

from the banks of the river Thames,
and between $4,000 and 10000 barrels
of the material are consumed in the
United States annually. In its crude
form remarkable flint fossils are some
times found, usually the remains of
fish. The process of manufacture from
the natural state to that of form
when it can be utilized for commercial
purposes is simple. When received at
the English mill, the chalk is put into
great machines and ground in water. Il
is then foated off into watts of clear
water, where all the impurities and
foreign substances are precipitated the
water being afterward drawn off by a
series Of filtering operations, and the
soft residuum dried by steam heat and
exposure to air. The substance is then
reduced to a powder of different de-
grees of tineness by grinding in a burr
mill and betting, when it is ready to be
packed in barrels and shipped for use.
In America the largest consumers of
chalk are tho rubber goods manufac-
