arms. One of the bandits, resisting was
wounded in the leg. The entire 7arty of
seven was captured and turned over to the
gendarmerie. Mr.. Baldwin and his party

SHORTAGE OF OFFIcERs IN CUBA
Several of the Regiments Have Only
Half of Their Quota.

HAVANA, May 9.--Army officers in Cuba
are complaining that their duties here have
become overarduous on account of the in
sufficient number of commissioned officers
who are available for service throughout
the island A case in point is that of the
Eighth United States infantry, from which
half the officers are absent making the
labors of those who remain far greater than
they should be in this climate. A majority
of the men in this regiment are recent
recruits and require constant drilling. The
officers, it is alleged, are under the circum-
stances practically drill sergeants They
complain that they are so hard worked that
they cannot even find time to enjoy their
meals.
Walter A. Donaldson, assistant collector
of customs here, is about to return to the
United States on a two months leave. He
has been instructed to go to Washington to
confer with the treasury officials there re-
garding customs affairs. Mr.. Donaldson has
been continuously on the island since July
lest He was the first American collector of
customs at Santiago de Cuba.

AmericnD-Canndian Commission Will
Not RecnnYene in August.


WASHINGTON, May All hope of re-
convening the joint American Canadian COM
mission in August has been abandoned. rhe
conference adjourned after having made
good headway, as it was thought at the
time, towards the drafting of an agreement,
owing to an unexpected and insurmountable
obstacle in the shape of the lumber and
boundary questions. The joint conferences
adjourned to meet in August with the un-
derstanding that meantime the governments
Of the two countries would test public sentI-
ment. 1t was also hoped that some of tho
difficulties that had presented themselves In
the way of a conclusion of the work of the
conference might, in the interim be removed
by diplomatic negotiations. 1t has now been
demonstrated, however, that the temper OF
neither side has yielded sufficiently to war;
rant the expectation of any successful re-
suit attending the Teconvention of the COM
mission. 1t Is said that our officials are
thoroughly discouraged at the time consum-
ing manner in which various propositions
that have been put forward are bandied
back and forth between London and Ottawa.

DEMAND FOR REGISTERED BONDS.
Coupon Securities Exchanged for
Them by Investors.

Them by Investors.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Assistant Secre-
tary Vanderlip has prepared a statement
showing that since the original issue of the
Spanish war loan last summer there has
been marked movement in the direction
of the exchange of coupon bonds for regis
tered bonds.
ut was expected" says Mr.. Vanderlip,
that there would be a movement in that
direction, but it is gratifying that it has
not been accomplished to any great extent
by the consolidation of holdings. Even after
this exchange of coupon for registered bonds
has gone on until the amount is now three
times the amount OF registered bonds taken
out of original applications the number Of
individual accounts still continues much
larger than for any other issue of govern
ment bonds.
There has been nothing like the consoli-
dation OF these bonds in the hands of large
holders that many people anticipated. In
spite of the high prices which have offered
such attractive profits to the original pur-
chasers of the bonds, and Notwithstanding
the demand by national banks wishing to
secure them as a basis for obtaining public
deposits or new circulation, the bonds are
to a large extent remaining in the hands
of the original purchasers and the issue Is
far more widely scattered than any previous
issue of public security"

German officials Express Confidence
in Vote In the ReichstnR.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-In the highest
German quarters it is stated that there is no
doubt whatever the German government will
be able to command the requisite majority
to pass the government measure relating to
the inspection of meat, foreign and do

this reason there is said to be no ground for
the apprehension expressed in this country

tween the United States and Germany. The
bill now pending in the Reichstag is to a
considerable extent the result OF negotiations
between Berlin and Washington, and is ac,
ceptable to government authorities on botn
