CUBANS ARE KICKING
Soldiers Who Do Not Get Enough
Bounty from Uncle Sam Threat
en- Trouble.
GEN. BROOKE NOT WORRIED
Claim Made That General Brooke Has
Trapped General Gomez Into Friend
ship to Help Disband the
Cuban Army.

New York, May 1.-THE Herald s
Havana correspondent telegraphs: To
all appearances Cubans are about to
make armed manifestations against the
United States and it's mode of govern
ing the island, although the conserva-
rangements. The army is particularly
bitter against Gen. Brooke'S soldiers,
and declare they have been miserably
trapped by Americans. They look upon
the exchange of gun for SIS as an ig-
nominious transaction. Some persons
say the determination Of the army not
to surrender it's arms is the outcome Of
Brooke's refusal to sanction Gomez's
plan for Cuban militia. At Cuban head
quarters the statement is Indignantly
denied, particularly by Gomez, who,
however, refuses to discuss the present
situation. One of his officers said Co
mez was brought to this city through
the influence of Mr.. Porter. He was
told he was wanted in Havana to help
Brooke establish government for Gu
bans, which would have no other basis
than freedom and independence. He
was miserably fooled He has, on ac-
count of intimacy with the American
general, lost popularity with Cubans,
who say he has been a traitor. This
was part of Brooke's scheme. He
wished to render Gomez useless, in or
der that he might follow out his orders
from Washington. Gomez will probably
leave the island"
BROOKE NOT WORRIED.
Washington, May 16.-General Brooke
has not reported to the war department
any serious situation in Cuba. 1t is not
believed that any alarm need be felt
regarding the condition Of affairs. Com
munications from General Brooke made
to the war department regarding the
situation are not given to the public,
but officials understand the source. of
the present trouble is that the Cuban
army are disappointed because they are
not likely to realize as much money ap-
propriated for the army as they think
they should. The United States will re-
main for the present in absolute control
of the island, and orders Of officers in
command will be sustained by the gov
ernment.

FIGHTING TRUSTS.
Everything Above 4 Gents a Gallon for
Refined Coal Oil Is Profit.

Washington, May 16.-Attorney Gen
eral Monett, of Ohio, was before the in
dustrial commission to-day as a wit
ness in the trust investigation. Monett
complained of the discrimination of
telegraph and railroad rates in favor
Of the Standard Oil Company's land
lines, saying that the latter was equal
to 400 per cent against the ordinary cit
izen. He said that the trust could make
it's dividends whatever it desired, as it
controlled completely the retail price
of oil. The original value of the plant
was $97, ,25O,0OO, but this figure should
now be multiplied by five. Monett in
sisted the way to control trusts was to
control the transportation companies,
which he thought courts could do, and
IL courts could not do this the charters
of the roads should be taken from them.
Monett said that all was profit over
cents a gallon on refined oil.

STABBED FIVE TIMES.
A Guard and a Prisoner Fatally Stabbed in
California Prison.

San Francisco May 16-Jacob OPP
penheimer, prisoner serving long
term in the San Quentin penitentiary
for murder, and fellow convict named
Ross, at Folsom state prison last night
attacked the guard named James Nc
Donald, stabbing him five times. The
guard will die.
Yesterday at the Folsom prison John
Showers, ten-year man, was stabbed
to death by George Putnam. Revenge
was the cause of this murder. Showers
turned states evidence in the Lloyd
Majors case nearly twenty years ago.
Putnam was friend of Majors. Abe
Majors is now under sentence of death
in Utah for numbering Police Captain
Brown. Archie Majors was killed by
Brown in an attempt to capture the
young desperadoes. Lloyd Majors and
a man named Jewell, who murdered
two men in this state twenty years ago,
were hanged on evidence given by
Showers. Oppenheimer was friend of
the Majors boys, but whether the crime
of Majors had anything to do with the
murder is not known.

ANOTHER MEDICAL MARVEL.
Youth to Be Renewed by Drafts Upon
Goats Glands.

Chicago, May 16.-The Chicago Trib-
une says: A discovery which, it is
claimed, solves the problem of prolong-
ing life, has been made public by Prof
Joseph r. Hawley and Alex. c. Wiener,
of the Chicago clinical school. Return
to youth it is asserted, is produced by
hypodermic injections of the lymphatic
fluid of animals, particularly of young
goats. The theory is that mineral de-
posits which accumulate in the bones
in the process of life can be replaced
with "lfe cells contained in lymphatic
glands of goats, and deterioration OF
bones prevented. 1t is said experiments
with dogs have demonstrated .he cM~
cheney of the discovery

The Rev. DR.. r.. Il. Kerr will probably

Rev. Jere Witherspoon. ID. D., will deliver

WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
of "a Serious Clash To-
Day-The SenatOrship.

CHARLESTON, W. VA. January 10
(special)-If the plans of the Republi-
cans are carried out tomorrow at the
assembling of the Legislature here,
there will be a conflict. and perhaps a
serious one. Their plan, as announced, Is
to seize the House of Delegates by bold
game. The Constitution of the State says
that the Oldest member shall call the
House TO order and occupy the chair until
the Speaker is elected. This has always
been construed TO mean the oldest men,
ber i'm years. who. in this case Is Colonel
Tom Davis OemocraD Of Mineral coun-
". The former Clerk, who Is a Republi-
can, has the duty Of calling this tempo
rary Speaker TO the chair, and he an
nounces that he will call Byrd Hill (Re-
publican) to the chair, because he is the
Oldest member in service. In the confu-
sion that follows the Republicans hope
to have certain members recognized, and
overcome the legal Democratic majority,
and organize the House. The Democrats
are prepared to resist this attempt TO
steal the House. and if there Is not dis
astrous clash before tomorrow night.
many level-headed persons who have pre-
dicted Il will be surprised.
To-day has been a lively one In the
Hobbies. but there are no changes in the
senatorial situation. Both parties eau
cused tonight behind closed doors. the
result being that the states previously
outlined by the leaders were ratified.
There are contests to be decided to-
morrow, the result of which may change
the senatorial situation entirely. The
contestants on both sides are here. and
prepared to stand their ground and fight
for what they believe to be their rights.
No one can tell what the outcome will
be. Those who love peace are desirous
that the contests shall be amicably set
tied. Those who enjoy a lively fight do
not care how far it may go; nor how BIT
