PRESIDENT SWIFT TESTIFIES.
Before the Court of Inquiry in Regard
 to Beef Supply.

Chicago, March 14.--Colonel O. M Smith, purchasing agent of the govern ment at Chicago, since 1895, testified to- day before the government court of in- quiry that the stores of canned roast beef bought by him during the Span- ish war were all upon the direct order of General Eagan, the commissary gen. eral. He also stated that some pur- chases of canned beef were made with out his knowledge by the commissary general
 Another of the days important wit nesses was Gustavis r. Swift, head of the packing house of Swift & Co. Good progress was made by the court o-day but the end of the list of witnesses to be examined in Chicago is not yet in sight.
 Gustavus F. Swift, president of Swift & Co.,, testified to two contracts enter ed into between his company and the government with reference to supplying refrigerated beef to the troops in Cuba and Porto Rico. Witness said:
 'These contracts were made on the part of the United States by General Eagan; advertisements were issued and proposals received in the usual form. We agreed to be responsible for the beef keeping twentyfour hours from is- suing, and, if in refrigeratoring room forty-eight hours from the steamer is- sue. I supposed there would be req sonable protection, as for any other commodity. When we deal in beef we deal in a perishable article. It certain ly should be protected from the tropI- cal sun.
 In our preparation of refrigerated beef we rely upon frigerated air as a preservative. We have not used at any time in connection with the preserva- tive of refrigerated beef any chemical preservative of any kind
 Cross examined by Major Lee witness said:
 T asked my brother in Boston. E. c. Swift, to go to Washington and agree with General Eagan on the terms of the contract. It was finally agreed upon between my brother and Gen. Eagan. never met General Eagan previous to the time the contract was signed"

GOMEZ IS POPULAR.
Two Political Parties Forming in
 Cuba,

Washington, March 14.-senor Que
 sada to-day received q cable message
 from Santiago which says:
 "The people of Santiago disauthorize
 the assembly, sustain Gomez and pre-
 pairing a public manifestation"
 Senor Quesada was criticised by the Cuban assembly for his action in assist ing in a negotiation with General Co., meg for payment of $3,000,000 to the | Cuban army.
 l MT. Quesada gave out the following statement: '"rhe action Of the assem- bly in deposing me is in line with it's conduct towards that faithful, unsul- lied patriot General Maximo Gomez. The assembly does not represent the iudcious sentiment of the Cuban peo- pie or the army. Unmoved by any sell fish interest, l have devoted all my life to the cause of the independence of Cuba and for four years have tried my best to establish the basis of the most cordial relations between the United States and Cuba, Sure of the decision of the Cubans and knowing we'll that the Americans will not misjudge them from these nasty and illadvised acts of disgruntled and ambitious group. I shall continue to work for the self-gov- ernment, reconstruction and order Of my native country
 The dispatch received by MT Quesada from Santiago is from Judge Sanchez, head of the supreme court of Cuba. It is said the course of the assembly is the first move in the formation of new political parties in Cuba, the assembly representing an element of malcontent, while the Gomez element presents those favorable to the efforts of the United States to maintain peace and order and advance the island as far as possible.

LAST NIGHTS PoLO GAMES.
Providence Defeats New Haven to %-
 Waterbury Wins from Hartford.

! The polo game at Bowling hall last
 night between Providence and New Ha-
 ven was one of the toughest and most I exciting of the season. Providence were
 anxious to win the game and some Of
 the cranks came to the hall with the
 full intention of seeing the Blues lie
 down before them. The first period was
 not we'll begun until it was clearly seen 1 that New Haven were out to win and ] that Providence could only capture the
 victory by the hardest kind of play
 coupled with luck on their side. During this period Lations made some sensa- tional stops and Bone and Whipple
 tried their utmost to beat Heffernan. It
 soon became apparent that 'Kid' Con-
 way was to create mischief in the camp.
 His tripping, holding and other unseem-
 ly acts were so glaring and so fragrant
 that Lush, who had been very lenient in the early part of the game began to
 exercise his authority and warned tha
 Kid" to desist or take the conse- quences. But Conway was like a roar ing lion seeking whom he might devour and the more he was penalized the wilder he grew. The audience by this time grew tired of his actions and were continually jeering him, but as he de- fled Lush so he tried to defy the audi ence. Murtagh also played very rough game and Cunningham lost his head-an unusual thing for this player to do The excitement which had been brewing all night reached a climax in the last period, when Conway again made himself obnoxious. In the last melee Cunningham got mixed up in the conflict and Lush ordered him off the floor. Cunningham refusing to go the police were signalled for, who escorted the crack rusher to the dressing room. The sympathies of the audience were with Cunningham, and it was the gen. eral opinion of those present that Con- way should have been sent off the floor earlier in the game. Had this been done Cunningham, who is noted for be- ing one of the most gentlemanly and one of the best players on the surface, would have been saved the unpleasant position in which he found himself. Pierce played the game for all it was worth and never lost his temper once during the contest. The same might be said of Heffernan, who guarded his cage in his usual brilliant manner and only laughed when wordy conflict was taking place between the referee and the players. The summary: Goals--Providence 4, New Haven 2. Stops-Lations 36, Heffernan 16 Fouls-Cunningham ?, Conway 2, Murtagh, Whipple. Rushes-Bone ', tie 1, Whipple 1. Referee-Lush. Timer Aufort

Navy Department Preparing to Carry
 Out Instructions.

Washington, March 14.-The navy de- partment is ready to take whatever steps may be necessary in carrying out the provisions of the naval bill for the purchase of smokeless powder. The government has a plant at Indian Head which, when completed, will turn out a maximum product of about 5000 pounds day. But this will not com- pete with the private manufacturers The navy now has powder known as pyro-c -cellulose, which is equal, if not better than any smokeless powder used by foreign powers.
 Contrary to reports, the new powder, which has been tested by the navy un- der various conditions, is not injurious to the guns now in use, and has been so nicely adjusted to their require 1nents that has increased their efficien- cy to an average of 500 second feet.

A GANG OF COUNTERFEIIERS
CAUGHT BY SECRET SERVICE MEN
 IN BOSTON.


 | Friendly With the Gang Purchased Over SIO,OOO Worth of Had Flv, Dollar Treasury Notes.
 Boston, March 14.-After more thar four months of careful work the United States secret service agents, assisted by the local police, took into custody to- day ten Italians, whom they have every reason to believe have been issuing g great amount of counterfeit $5 treasury notes, and are, the Boston agents say one of the largest and most crafty gangs of counterfeiters that have operated in this country.
 The names of those arrested are as follows: Francesca Cacci, alias Euricc Martens, forty-three years old; Peter Gonzales, forty-f1ve;' Salvador Mastrap- avola, forty; Mrs. Angela Mastrapavo- la. thirty-one, and Mary Mastrapavola, twelve years old, all of 3 Sun court; Am tonic Cologne, thirtysix; Antonio Maz- zuci, thirty-five; Francesca Brosi, thir- ty- five: Joseph DeSalvo, all of Boston, and Francesca Denlarco of Lynn.
 The arrest was most adroitly made, but was somewhat hastened by reason of the fact that one or two were pre- pairing to leave for New York. In fact, Brosi was taken from the end of nov ing train as it was pulling out of Park Square station bound for that city. For nearly six months large amount of spurious flve-dollar treasury notes bear ing the Jackson Vignette have been coming into the hands of the secret ser- vice agents greater portion of it turn ing up in this city. and last November the government officials determined to make a strenuous effort to run down the counterfeiters.
 Most of the bad money turned up in the Italian quarter at the north end, as well as in Lynn, but for long time, so crafty were those who were passing the money, the evidence did not war rant an arrest Accordingly number of trusted agents were brought over from New York, all on close terms of intimacy with Italians, and they went about the city and succeeded in buying about $10,0O0 worth of bad tive-dollar notes. Ine S6CEeI StENlCe liiCH ShalHiCd that all the bad money was obtained from the parties under arrest.
 In order to make the case as clear and to get as much evidence as possible the arrest of all parties was delayed until the last moment During the interim the officials discovered that frequent trips were being made to New York, and that upon the return of one or two of the men the notes became plenty. This led to the belief that none of the money was manufactured in this city, but no headquarters could be discovered in New York. To-day, after all ten of the suspected parties had been faithful ly shadowed. it was decided to make general haul, and no less than twenty officers, both government and local ln- spectors, were distributed about the city and assisted in making the arrest.

Efficiency Of Teachers Grades to be
 Advanced.

 Revised rules of the territorial board of examiners, adopted August 18th. have been issued. Tire new require ments are in some respects radical in comparison to former practicess but will have the effect of materially ad- vancing the efficiency of the teachers of the public schools. Rule l7 of sec tion two requires that no first grade certificate be renewed unless the holder thereof has been teaching the entire period for which the certificate was issued. Furthermore, boards are advised not to renew second grade certificates. +'There is no authority of 4aw for renewing certificate" says the instructions. This means that when second grade certificate expires, the belder must be re-examined. The average required of applicants for eer- titicates is also advanced. For the first grade -S5 per cent; and for the Esco1a 7o per cent arc the minimum general averages to be accepted in the future,

A l4onnn al the eotton q |.

Fhe News prefaces an account of an abseonding debtor from Williams wisH the following graceful advice
 "Wilen you come west, young man, inquire into the mental strength of your mothers relations, so as to be sure of your own inh eritance in that line. Eschew the love for wine and train your temperament to love lightly and hate easily. Never start out with the worn oct idea of having time. for experienced and leyel- headed men will, without a doubt, either speak out loud or audibly mutter that there goes prince of fools. Cover mans head with the hoary locks of many winters snows; bend his form with the decrepitude of many years; mark his brow with the weight of family cares; pale his glance with the wounds of time well gone by, and if he is minus a wor .d's experience and is cursed with weak mind, he's fool for all of those."

Still More counterfeitine.

The Secret Service has unearthed an- other band of counterfeiters and secured large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never sus- pect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for imitation, notably the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes good blood and plenty of it. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigoY to the weak and debilitated. Beware of counter teitg when buying.

Ross Buck and Preston Brooks, the two boys arrested at Florence last Saturday on a telegram from here charging them with stealing couple of horses from the father of young Buck, who lives seven miles south of Mesa, were brought in yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriff Billy Moore. They were given a prelimi- nary hearing before Justice Johnstone and were discharged on statement by Bucks father, in which it was shown that no theft had been committed and that his son had right, or thought he had right, to take the horses. He had made the complaint against the boys, not with the purpose Of prosecuting them, but with the ob- feet of recovering them. While the county is not engaged in running a nrjvate detective bureau, in this case no harm was done, as Mir. Buck paid the cost of the proceedings as far as kLey lad gone-I Republican.
