HAvANA's NEW GOVERNOR.
General Nunez Formally Assumes His
Office

Havana, Nov. 9.-GeneraI Eimi1o Nunez,
the successor of General Rios Rivera, as
civil governor of Havana formally took
over the office today, declaring that he
accepted the post with pleasure. He then
had interview with Governor General
Brooke and Senior CapOte, secretary of
the government after which he accepted
the resignation of Senior VivancO, secre-
tary of the civil governor, Senior Vivan-
cos successor Will be appointed shortly.
1t Is the duty of all Cubans," said the
new civil governor, today. TO cooperate
with the Americans in an honest endeavor
to reconstruct the island, financially DO
ILLEGALLY and socially. I pledge my best
efforts to harmonic all factions In my
opinion the existing regime is entitled to
much credit. and 1 am satisfied that all
intelligent Cubans take the same view
believing that the military government is
paving the way for the eventual indepen-
dence of the island, as promised in the
joint resolution of congress. a resolution
which judging from what I learned while
in Washington, will become operative as
soon as the United States government re-
CARDS it as safe to put it into Operation.''

MADE BILLS IN PRISON.

ILeavenworth Cor. Chicago Record
J. G. McKibben, one of the shrewdest
counterfeiters, and one who has given
the secret service of the treasury de-
partment a. vast amount of trouble, has
been brought to the Federal prison to
serve his second term for counterfeiting
paper money Of the United States. Nc
Kibben was recently captured in Tex
as, after having made and passed
number of bills which def1ed all but an
expert to detect. He was convicted and
sentenced to 10 years Imprisonment at
hard labor.
He was first brought to the Federal
penitentiary early in 1896 from Dallas.
Texas, and was sentenced to two years
for cOunterfeiting. Upon his arrival his
Sickly appearance awakened the sym
pathy of the warden, and as he pro-
fessed to be a photographer. he was
given charge of the prison photography
gallery. Here his work was light, con-
SiSting of phOtOgraph1nE new arrivals
and in catalOguing the pictures. thus
giving him plenty of time to himself.
It was not long before he conceived the
idea of manufacturing the queer in
the prison. Watching his opportunity,
he made his plans known to two or
three sent up for the same cause, one
of whom was a trusty and had the
privilege of leaving the yard The
trusty succeeded in enlisting the ser
vices of the driver of a delivery wagon
to mail letters, money and orders for
bank-nOte paper and films, the same
give them to the trusty. In due time
the films and paper arrived and were
struggled to Mckibben, who secreted
them in the gallery. A new ffve-dollar
bank bill, of one of the LeavenwOrth
banks, was obtained when McKibben
was ready for work Waiting until the
warden and deputy were absent from
the office, he commenced his work, and
on hearing their return would hastily
secrete his material. After many trials
he succeeded in making a fairly good
bill, one which would have passed un-
less closely examined. Elated with his
work he took others into his confidence,
one of whom gave the matter away to
the deputy warden. McKibben was ar
rested and told of the discovery and
requested to turn over his plant See
ing that he was caught he confessed,
and, taking the officers to a dark cor
ner, turned over a number Of bills in all
stages of preparation, IS well as some
finished ones. The bills had been made
by the Photographic process the tint
ing being done by water cOloring, and
were pronounced by the bank officials
a good imitation.

WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS.
From Cuba and Porto Rico Is Under
Consideration.

New York, Nov. "a special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
In order to avoid the charge of mill
tarism already being raised in certain
political quarters and preliminary to
the appointment of civil governors,
President Mckinley and Secretary Root
are considering the advisability Of with
drawing troops from Cuba and Porto
Rico.
There are now in Cuba 391 officers and
1926 men and in Porto Rico 10S off,
GERS and 1885 men.
In his annual report, just submitted
to Secretary Root, Brigadfer General
Santiago, declares he has too many
troops. Secretary Root telegraphed
General Wood today to make q. sup
Elemental report as to the number of
men in his department and the num-
Der which can with safety be with
drawn. Instructions were sent several
days ago to General Brooke, command
ing the division Of Cuba, to report upon
the advisability of withdrawing troops.
His reply was not favorable to the pro-
position. The condition in the island,
in his opinion, necessitated the reten-
ton of all the men now under his COM
mand
1t is understood that Brigadier Cen
era1 Lee, commanding the provinces of
ed the president that, in his opinion, all
the men in Cuba should remain. Upon
the arrival of General Ludlow here he
will be asked to give his opinion re-
speeding the advisability of reducing
the military force in the island
In Porto Rico, it is said, military Of
ficers feel that the force there can be
reduced, and it is expected some battaI-
ions will be brought home and stationed
in this country.

Ed Little has been shamesulIy treat

DEROULEDE'S TRIAL.
Arrangement of Conspirators Takes
Place In Paris.

Paris, Nov. 9-Crowds began to as
semble in the vicinity of the Luxembourg
Palace about noon today in anticipation
of the opening of the state trial in the
senate. The police formed a Gordon
around the building. Traffic was not
interrupted. The police prevented fac
tional gatherings around the leaders
of the anti-semites, natiOnalists and
monarchists who were present. There
was a slight incident on the appearance
of Henri RochefOrt, who received an
ovation amidst shouts of hostility for
the members of the high court.
The fifteen men accused, who had
been conveyed to cells in the senate
house during the morning were all con-
Quoted to their places by Republican
guards. When NJ. Fallieres, president
of the senate followed by the law Off
GERS, took his seat at 1 o'clock the
names of the senators were called. Fiji
teen of them failed to answer. NJ.
FalIieres then called the names of the
defendants.
NJ. Deroulede replying to the usual
question as to his profession said: De
fender of the rights of the people,"
An usher then read the long indict-
ment to which the audience paid little
attention.
