RAILROADS IN CUBA.
The Administration Mt Washington Pressed
to Begin Policy to Permit the Con-
structiOn Of New Lines.

Washington, Sept. 49, = Railroad
building is becoming an acute issue in
Cuba. The war department and the
administration are subject to much
pressure to begin a policy which will
permit the construction of new lines.
A large amount of capital is represent
ed to be awaiting the opportunity to
engage in enterprises Of this kind.
Most of the American military COM
manders have recommended that some
steps be taken to encourage these
projects because Of the industrial ben
eft which will result and the work
which will be opened to the laborers
on the island.
The war department believes that
advantages would result from railway
building both in giving employment
to labor and in developing the resources
Of Cuba. However, in spite Of the pres
sure which has become stronger every
day, there is little probability that the
policy heretofore followed will he
changed. This policy is against grant
ing new franchises or concessions dur
ing military occupancy and most of the
old franchises, alleged to have been
granted under Spanish authority, are
so clouded that no official sanction can
be given to them.

THE CHINESE SITUATION.
Gen. Oils sends Cable Message to Score.
tary Root About the Celestlals In
the Philippine Islands.

Washington, Sept s6.-Secretary
Root has received cable message from
Gen. Otis regarding the Chinese situa-
ton in the Philippines. He says that
the shipload Of 700 Chinese can be
loaded without any serious interference
with military operations. Gen. Otis
discussed at considerable length the
subject Of Chinese in the Philippine
islands and the dispatch was referred
to the state department, where it was
made the subject Of conference be-
tween Acting Secretary Hill, Senator
Davis, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, and the Chinese min
lister.
A settlement Of the general issue be-
tween the two governments respecting
the admission of the Chinese to the
Philippines was not attained through
this particular incident, which was
considered and disposed of solely on its
owns merits. The Chinese will be
landed, but without recognizing the
right Of the Chinese government to de-
man this. On the other hand the
Chinese government, while permitting
the men TO land, does not in any manner
concede our right to apply the Chi
nese exclusion law to the Philippines
and stand by the principles enunciated
in the formal protest which was made
last week by the Chinese minister here
against Gen. Otis action.

THE YAQUI UPRISING.
The Indian Warfare In Mexico Rapidly
Growing Worse Instead Of Abating--
Americans Leaving Country.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 26.-Judging
from reports reaching here from Ortiz,
state of Sonora, Mex, the Yaqui Indian
warfare is rapidly growing worse in
stead of abating. Lieut.. Majeran has
arrived at Torres on his way to the
City of Mexico to make official reports
as to the progress of the campaign.
He says there has been no cessation in
the war being waged against the In
dams by the Mexican government He
reports that the Indians have scattered
into small bands and are now vigor-
ously waging guerrilla warfare and
that the Mexican soldiers have adopted
similar tactics and also divided into
small scouting parties, and that there
are frequent engagements with the
soldiers, rather harassing them with
attacks from secure positions in tht
mountains and along the rough noun
tain roads, not infrequently causing
much loss OF life among the soldiers
with little harm to themselves. Gen.
Torres, in command Of the Mexican
troops, asks the Mexican war depart
ment to send force of rurales to aid
him and, it is thought, they can render
very effective service against the In
dams. The Yaquis hold the rurales in
great dread, as they are their old-time
enemies and most formidable foe.
During the past ten days great many
miners have arrived at Ortiz, having
been driven out Of the mountains by
the threatening situation, and all bear
tales of murder and bloodshed. Dozens
of skirmish fights have resulted in a
number of soldiers and Indians being
killed and several miners have lost
their lives. Many Of them have de-
serted paying mines in order to save
their lives. The entire country tribu-
tary to the uprising is in state of fer
mentation and all the Americans are
leaving as rapidly as possible.

DREYFUS LIBERATED.

Declaration by Dreyfus.

Nantes, Sept. Sl,-Dreyfus arrived
here yesterday morning from Rennes,
at which place he had been liberated
at three o'clock in the morning, accom-
panied by his brother, Matthew Drey-

All four then entered flrst-class COM

other passengers. 1t was intended, by
thus refraining from any attempt to
secure privacy, to avoid exciting curl

as far as the first stop, Vertou, whence
they returned to Nantes to catch the
1918 p. m. express for Paris, leaving
the brothers to continue their journey
alone. II Is believed the Drevfuses
alighted at an intermediate station to
take fresh start in an unknown direc-
