IN CUBA.

Havana, Nov. q, $40 p. m.-Nothing is
known at headquarters in this division
or in General Lees to justify the report
published in the United States and cabled
back here that LOCO armed insurgents
of Pinar del Rio and that a general up
planned for Thanksgiving day. Indeed
American authorities who say it is i'm
possible that anything of the kind could
have happened or could be in prospect
without knowledge Of it coming to some
army post.
Itumors Of a more or less alarmist
character have for some time been plen-
tiful around Havana. 1t is said, for in
stance, that this general uprising is true,
and 1t is apparent that certain men are
messing progr mn h0stilc to the
American administration. But the spread
of the campaign of education is doing a
great deal to offset the ifinuence of such
people, and in any event no trouble what
ever is likely to occur until after con-
Sress meets.
1t is a fact, however, that many Am
africans here believe if nothing is done
toward giving the CubanS some definite
assurances, if not a precise date, regard
ing the independence of the island there
will be an uprising of some sort, but opin-
ions differ widely in regard to what it
will amount to. 1t is thought the mall
contents will be merely bandits early con-
trolled. Some think the uprising would
be formidable and would call for a large
American force.

Cape Nome Shut Off Until
Next Summer.
PRICES ARE VERY HIGH
For All Kind of Food and Fuel--Nunl-
Ter of People Will Remain But no
Work Can be Done This Winter
Claims All Staked Out.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-The Records special
correspondent at Cape Nome sends the
following letter, dated Nov. /: 81
Tomorrow night the last boat, the AL
bion, will leave Cape Nome and from then
until next June the country will be shut
off from the outer world. There has been
a great exodus of people and most of those
who were early have cor out, those
staying here being largely men who came
dow from the upper river to get claims.
1t will do them little good, however, as the
country is thoroughly covered and the
owners have gone away, so that those
coming with money cannot buy. There
will be practically no work done this win
ter as there is no wood on the creeks to
thaw with, SO that outside those fields de-
VelOped last summer nothing Will be
known until late next summer. There are
a few StampedeS to creeks in outlying
districts that happened to be overlooked
in the first rush. Recent reports from
Cape York are less favorable han the
first ones, but as no work has been done
little is known for certain or can be till
next summer
In Cape Nome and the outlying districts
along the coast from Golovin bay to Cape
York probably $500 people will remain
during the winter. Many more were
frightened by the probability of advan-
tage being taken Of the scarcity of any
article to jump up the price. No con-
science has been shOwns so far in regard to
the taking advantage Of the necessity Of
the poor, and coal and lumber have been
cornered. The exodus and the arrival Of
late steamers LAY made the food supply
ample, but prices are higher than at Daw-
son. Fuel will be the most serious prob
lem. Coa is selling as high as $125 per
ton now and there is a limited supply.
The beach wood, by hauling long dis
tances, will help out, but it is poor stuff
and will be very expensive. In Cape
Nome some are going to sled over to Colo
vim bay to winter in the timber and some
are building cabins on the beach where
the driftwood is close at hand.
The typhoid epidemic is about over.
There have been no new cases in the last
five days and no more are expected until
spring. Back of the beach, which is mar
row, the Trunda is an undrained walmpy
fiat and when the frost is out, is asrich
breeding place for the fever germs.

But No Plan Has Matured
to Keep Him From
TAKING SEAT In HOUSE
An Effort is Being Made to Take the
Matter Out of Partisan Politics
No Precedents Can be Found in
the Matter.

New York, Nov. 2S.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: No plans
have yet been matured for the exclusion
of b. H. Roberts from membership in the
house. Mr.. Roberts credentials are reg
ular in form and his as much entitled
to be sworn in as a membe as any other
representative-elect who may present
himself at the bar of the house next
Monday. His right to take part in the
election of a speaker will not be ques-
toned by the hold-over clerk and it is
doubtful if any precedents can be found
to sustain he speaker thereafter in re-
fusing to administer the customary oath.
Precedents made in dealing with former
delegates from the territory of Utah are
conceded not to apply to the full-fledged
representatives whom Utah, now as a
state sends to congress.
Both democratic and republican leaders
are seeking some method Of dealing with
the Roberts case, which will take it
wholly out of partisan politics. I'm
doubleday the fairest and most satisfac-
tory procedure would be to acknowledge
the legality Of the Utah members Gre
dental and refer his disputed qualifica-
tons as the constitution provides to the
subsequent judgment Of the house. A
resolution to expel him on the ground Of
his pOlygamOuS relations would require
a two-thirds vote, and in securing the
majority the cooperation of the two
parties in the house would be more con-
vincingly demonstrated than in any ir-
regular effort to judge him out of his
eligibility on a point of order, requiring
only d majority vote. 1t is felt by the
more experienced gers on both sides
that the issue raised by Mr.. Roberts
election to be met effectively should be
met in a dignitied and altogether regu-
lar way.

JEFFORDS KNOCKED OUT.

New York, Nov. 27.-The prize fight be-
tween Bob Armstrong, the colored heavy
weight boxer of Chicago, m Jim Jeffords
of California, which was slated to go 25
rounds before the Hercules Athletic club
tonight ended abruptly in the third round.
Both men went head foremost from a
clinch over the ropes into a box at the
ringside in the second round, and in the
third Jeffords took another header from
the effects of a right swing on the jaw.
This took all the steam out of the big fell
low. and when he regained his feet he
was sent sprawling from a right swinging
uppercut in the vicinity of the belt. JEFF
fords rolled over in agony and his seconds
claimed a foul on the ground that he was
hit below the belt. The referee decided
that the blow landed fairly and gave his
verdict in favor of Armstrong. after JEFF
fords had been counted out and carried to
his corner by his seconds.

that. No running mate for Mr.. Bryan

ADMITS HE SOLD HORSE SAUSAGE.

The epicures who include sausages in
their list of favorite delicacies were
given q sad blow in san Francisco re-
Gently when George Dutchler gave tes-
timony in Police Judge Conlan's court.
Dutchler admitted using horse in the
manufacture of sausage and evidently
seemed to think that since the advent of
the automobile horses We're fated to end
their days in the hands Of the butcher.
Dutchler, Charles Hagg and Louis
Loanbacher were arraigned on the
charge of having prepared horse flesh for
food. Dutchler who has a sausage fac
tory at Eighteenth and Shotwell streets,
pleaded guilty. He found horse flesh
cheaper than beef and therefore used it
for beef sausage. Once only did he how
any sign Of repentance and that was
when he declared hat he had sold none
Of the sausage in this city. but had
shipped it all to the country.
Our country patrons have neyer made
any objection he said.
After Dutchler had finish ID his con-
fession Judge Conlan ordered him to APP
pear for sentence the neXt morning.
Hagg was given time to plead. Loan
bacher's case went over.
