SAMPSON MATTER.
Secretary Long Says He Has No Idea of Or
dering a Court of Inquiry Into the
Merits of the Controversy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-In answer to
an inquiry Secretary Long said Friday
that he had not thought of ordering a
court of inquiry into the merits of the
SampsOn-Schley controversy, nor did
he contemplate allowing Schley to be
forced out of the service through any
technicality, such as the failure of the
senate to confirm his nomination to
be rear admiral. The department in
that case would see that he was pro-

BUTCHER ALBERT A. BECKER.
More Evidence That He Killed His Wife
and Made Away With the BOdy-The
Search Continued.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Evidence strength
ening the belief of the police that
Butcher Albert A. Becker, who was
arrested Saturday on suspicion of hav
ing murdered his wife did actually
commit that crime, was furnished Sun
day by DR.. W. 7. Kirby, who, after
a microscopical examination of the
stains found on the boards in
Becker's barn, expressed the opinion
that they were made by human blood.
Further examination of the barn has
resulted in the discovery of a small
bunch of black hair, which neighbors
say exactly matches that of the miss
ing woman. Search for Mrs. Becker's
body was continued throughout the
day, catch basins and the prairie
for a mile in all directions being thor
oughly investigated, but no traces of
it were found. The earrings and
ring found in Becker's house, and
which the butcher declared he had re-

GOMEZ BANQUET.
Function Regarded as promising
Augury of Cuba's independence.
Gems. Lee and Brooke Assured Cubans That
the United States Would Establish
Stable Government and Then
Turn it Over to Them.

HAVANA, Feb. 27.-The banquet at
the Tacon theater proved a brilliantly
successful affair. Gov. Gen. Brooke
and Maj. Gen. Lee spoke. Cubans
generally regard the occurrences at
the function as the most promising
auguries of Cuban independence since
the peace protocol was signed.
The theater was crowded to
overfowing with spectators, and
more than 200 covers were
laid for the banqueters. Besides
the governor general and Gen. Lee the
company included Maj. Gen. Ludlow,
Gen. Chaffee, the governor generals
chief of staff, the staffs of Gems. Lee
and Ludlow, and other army and navy
officers, together with many prom
inent citizens and Havana officials.
Gen. Andrade sat on the right of Gen.
Gomez and Mayor Lacoste on his left.
The boxes were filled with people
representing Havana's best society.
AS the American generals entered a
trumpeter at the door blew once,
whereupon a concealed band played
the ''Star Spangled Banner" When
the Cuban commanders entered the
trumpet was sounded twice and the
band played the Cuban hymn.
Among the speakers were Seniors
Pedro Llorento, Col. Carlos Garcia,
C,,o o1J,or+O CO1,az ooJ H.. T,,,,zc COO
retary of the department of justice.
The tendency Of all the speeches was
toward independence for Cuba, with
eulogy of Gen. Gomez and assertions
that he must never more leave the
island. The spectators called vocif-
erously for a speech from Maj.
Gen. Lee. His remarks and those
of Gen. Brooke were translated
for the benefit of the assembly by Sc
nor Pablo Desvernines, secretary of
the department of finance. Both the
American generals repeated former
statements of the military administra-
ton, chiefly along the line Of assur-
ance that the United States intended
to establish a stable government in the
island and then odeliver it the Cubans
themselves. These assurances were
vOciferously applaUGed.
Col. Garcia explained the disinterest-
ed position of American military Off
GERS in Cuba. Gen. Gomez himself did
no speak, owing to the hoarseness
from which he is suffering. Gen. An
drade expressed thanks on his behalf,
adding in his name that the banquet
had done much to bring the Cuban and
American elements to clear under
standing and to define the position,
work and aims of the United States
military administration in Cuba. Gen.
Gomez withdrew from the theater
about midnight, crowds in the streets
applauding him wildly as he emerged
and followed his carriage for blocks.

Feeling in the City is Decidedly Improved,
Although Chinese Are Still Timid-
The Insurgent SharpshOoters
Are Very Annoying.

MA Mia, Feb. 26.-The military po
lice have raided several suspected
houses in various districts, capturing
small bodies of 20 to so prisoners in
each place. This, and the Z o'clock
ordinance, is effectually dispelling
the fears of a threatened out
break of the natives, who do not
dare, singly or collectively, to
appear on the streets after dark. The
feeling in the city has decidedly i'm
proved, although the Chinese are still
timorous. Hundreds of applicants for
cedulus besiege the registers office,
the natives apparently being under the
impression that their possession in
sures them from interference and the
ignOminy of being searched for arms
on the streets.
1t is generally believed that the dis
aStrOus attempts to attack the city anC
destroy property, the Filipinos them
selves being the worst sufferers, will
prevent their recurrence, but every
precautiOn is being taken to deal with
an emergency if it arises.

COTTON GOING TO WASTE.
There Are Thousands Of fcres That win Not PAY
FOR rcl'no.

Travellers passing through the south
ern states have their curiosity aroused
by seeing from the car windows large
fields Of unpicked cotton going TO waste
or being eaten by cattle. Ii is ex-
planned that a poor crop does not pay
for picking because cotton Is only about
five cents a pound In the markets of
New Orleans and Savannah. The sea-
son has been cold and rainy. and Il has
been difficult to persuade pickers To go
into the field for the wages which the
planters have been able TO offer them.
For these reasons thousands of acres
have been abandoned. Some estimate
il as high as 30 per cent OF the entire
crop and the farmers will therefore
suffer a large loss, for which they will
be compelled to increase the mortga ges
that now cucumber their plantations
Ii does not pay TO raise cotton at tive
cents a pound except under the most
favorable circumstances.
Thinking men argue. says the Chi
cago Record, that there is no loss with
out some gain. as the experience OF this
season will drive many planters 10 raise
other and more profitable crops. Plant
ers' associations have been organized
in all of the southern states expressly
for the purpose of limiting cotton cul-
ture and encouraging diversified crops.
They have even gone so far as 20 ask
planters 10 sign pledges 10 reduce their
acreage 8. 10 and 90 per cent. but habit
is strong. and new crops necessitate the
education Of the negroes. which is more
trouble than the planter cares 10 take.
