Swedish Family on Exchange Street
Throw Plates at Each other.
A family row of no small proportions
was INDUCED in by Swedish family
living at the corner of Wisconsin and
Exchange streets, and before the fight
was settled officer Nelson was called in
to pour oil on the troubled waters. The
husband of the house had been drink
ing Sunday and arriving home about 5
o'clock in the evening he began to
abuse his wife, and when bOarder
living at the house objected to such
action on the part Of the man fight
ensued and the boarder was hit in the
head with O. plate. He bled prOfusely
and for a while it was thought he was
seriously injured and officer Nelson was
called. However the injured man re-
fused to make complaint against the
fellow and he was not arrested. For
the sake of the wife and mother the
names of the participants in this dis
graceful domestic squabble are with
held from publication.
A letter was received in Kenosha

AGAINST THE ROAD.
Residents of North Main Street Will Pc
tition Against the M. r. &K

tition Against the M. r. Sc Z.
The uninterrupted passage of
franchise ordinance in Kenosha is
again disturbed by the announcement
that residents living on the North side
will present petition to the council
this evening making some very heavy
demands upon the managers of the M.
R. & z. Electric Railway company.
Thus far the petitioners are residents
along North Main street, and the petit
ton asks that before any franchise be
granted to the NJ R. & K. company
that the company be demanded to
agree to pave one half of North Main
street and to gain anew the consent of
the property owners along the right of
way on North Main street. While
only one petition has been circulated so
far, it is said that the other streets
named in the new route will present
similar documents before the ordinance
comes up for final action.
It is reported that Mr.. Bishop and
his company are greatly discouraged
by the way in which the present ordi-
nance has been received by the people
and the company may ask the Council
to defer action on the ordinance until
some more satisfactory arrangements
can be made with property owners along
the right OF way.

HAVANA, May H.-Gen. Gomez has
sent a message to Gov. Gen. Brooke that
he will do himself the honor Of calling at
headquarters tomorrow morning for
further conference regarding the payment
of the Cuban troops. The appointment
for the interview is the result of direct
inquiry as to what Gen. Gomez intended
to do in view of the designations and nom
appearance of all the Cuban officers nom
mated by him to represent the several
corps In the distribution of the $1,000, 900.
The Cuban general Rafael Rodriguez.
speaking for Gomez today, said that the
reports of difference with Gen. Brooke
were absolutely untrue. The attitude Of
Gomez, he declared, had undergone no
change, and the principal generals of the
Cuban army as well as the rank and file
continued to support Gomez as they al
ways had. He fatty denied that there
had been any meeting of Cuban officers
at which Gomez had been present or held
with his approval where a decision had
been reached not to surrender the arms,
and he explained that all the talk about
a revolt in the army against the surren-
dering> of the arms was the work of
members of the former military assem-
bly-"a group of malcontents, behind

Naval Powers of Europe VIII Make
His Journey Pleasant.

WASHINGTON, May 14-Admiral Dew
ey's homecoming. by way of the Medi-
terranean, is likely to give occasion for
distinguished honors from the naVies of
Europe, most of them being represented
by extensive squadrons in those waters,
and some of them having their chief
naval stations at Mediterranean ports
Already Ambassador Cambon, of France
has called the attention of the authori-
ties at Paris to the return of Admiral
Dewey by way of the Mediterranean, and
the probable sailing of his flagship Olym-
pia past the French naval ports in Al
giers. These are opposite the British
possessions of Gibraltar and Malta, at
the entrance to the Mediterranean, and
are easy and natural stopping places
along that route. 1t is hardly expected
that the admiral will touch at Toulon.
the great naval depot of France. At the
ports of Algiers he will be accorded
every honor due not only to his rank, but
to the universal esteem in which he is
held by the naval fraternity.
The British authorities have taken no
steps thus far TO have the admiral stop
at British ports, but 1t was stated today
by one of the British officials that Dewey
would be assured most enthusiastic
greeting if he stopped at any British
station and that undoubtedly steps
would be taken to induce him to touch
