he Held Responsible.

Havana, April 5.-Piantation raids and
the carrying off of cattle and horses by
outlaws are reported to-day as taking
place in the provinces of Puerto Principe,
Santa Clara, Matanzas and Pinar del Rio.
The Cuban troops in those districts are
chasing the marauders, no United States
troops thus far having been sent after
them.
The military administration intends to
suppress the so-called brigands at widely
separated points by means of the rural
guards, and has no present intention of
sending American cavalry or infantry
through an unknown and tangled country
after these nimble thieves.
Six companies of the Forty ninth Iowa
Volunteers left to-day for Savannah by
the steamer San Antonio. They will be
quarantined al Fort Pulaski.
The Third Kentucky Regiment, now at
Matanzas, will leave soon. The transports
fitzpatrick and Florida are due to arrive
here by the end of the week, and day
or two later will probably see majority
of the volunteers now rema ming I'm Cuba

of newspapers will be responsible for ar

Manila, April 5.-There are persistent

in-chief of the Filipino forces. Luna is
described as being a typical belligerent
The proclamation of the United States
Philippine commission was posted in the
streets, printed in English, Spanish and
Tagalo to-day. 1t was also distributed
in the outside towns as far as Malolos
and has been received with marked at
tention by the natives generally. and has
been approved by a number of representa-
tive natives of Manila.
English bankers who have been inter-
viewed on the subject are optimistic upon
the attitude of the Americans assuming
that it indicates that the decisive policy
will undoubtedly be successful
A Spanish banker who was interviewed
expressed the fear that the proclamation
will not reach the masses controlling the
rebellion, because, he explained, the Fill
pinos at Manila are mostly domestics and
clerks, who have no definite opinions and
the wire-pu.lers outside of the city have
undoubtedly intercepted it.
The editor of Oceania thinks the procla-
nation is the most polite document ever
published in the Philippine Islands, and
that it is bound to convince the waver-
ing insurgents of the folly of further hos

An English merchant says the first
clause, with reference to the establishment
and maintenance of American sovereignty
and warning the rebels, should settle the

Havana. April 5.-The dissolution of the
Cuban military assembly, announced in
these dispatches last night. does not cause
any particular comment among Cubans or
Americans here. such step having been
expected two weeks ago.
The American military authorities
while pleased that an obstacle to the dis
posal Of the Cuban army has been remov-
ed, had been preparing 20 distribute the
100000 without the aid of the assembly s
roll by causing to be drawn up duplicate
rolls In this work the provincial govern

commanders in their provinces.
In addition the assembIys rolls are be-
ing verified and corrected by independent
inquiries, a task that may last another
month In spite of this, the distribution
of money to the Cuban soldiers Will pos
sibly begin in the vicinity of Havana
within fortnight.
The general rules controlling the distrI-
button are to exclude all men who have
enlisted since July H. 1898, and to exclude
former soldiers now holding government
positions or belonging to the rural guards,

COTTON RATE DECISION.
Interstate Commerce Commissions !
Important Action.


Important Action.
Washington, April 5-The interstate
commerce commission to-day in an opin-
ION by Commissioner Prouty, decided the
case against the Kansas city Memphis
and Birmingham Railroad Company, and
others which mainly involved the prac-
tice of floating cotton.
The commission finds that the essential
transportation feature is carrying the cot
ton to a compress. receiving ii again in a
compressed state. and transporting il to
it's destination at the through rate In force
from the point OF origin. The question
was whether the shipment is to be con-
sidered through and entitled TO through
rate, or as local and calling for applica-
ton OF charges an effect to and from the
compress point
The commission holds first, that the ear
rier may, as part Of a contract for
through shipment, allow the cotton TO be
stopped off for the purpose of grading ana
compresslon; but that the privilege en-
ters into and becomes part of the service
covered by the rate. ana should be speci-
fed in published tariffs; second. that The
determnative feature of through ship
ment is the contract, and If the cotton
starts and proceeds upon a contract for
through shipment as Is shown to be the
fact in this case, It may be considered as
a through shipment and be given the bene-
fit of a through rate.
