Reputation Of Local Product-Pro-
test Against Bishop Sbaretti May
Result In Independent Church.
Havana, Feb. 22.-For some time to-
bacco seed of an inferior quality has
been shipped to Cuba, and the Cubans
naturally feel that this will initiate
against the future reputation and value
of the local products. Earnest pro-
tests have frequently been made. and
yesterday Governor General Wood is
sued an order which prohibits the fur
Their importation of such seed. Repu-
table tobacco dealers and the public
generally are much gratified.
Salvador Cisneros, marquis Of San
Lucia, first president of the Cuban
provisional republic, presided Tuesday
night at meeting called to protest
against the appointment of Mgr. Sba-
retti to the bishopric of Havana. The
Washington dispatches protesting
against the appointment, and special
committee was chosen to wait upon
General Wood In connection with the
matter Moreover, it was decided that,
in case all these methods should fail,
an independent national church should
be founded. General Maxine Gomez,
who was unable to be present, sent
letter expressing his sympathy with
the movement. Another meeting was
held last evening.
General Wood has named four In
spectors of schools, one each for the
provinces Of Havana, Matanzas, Puerto
Principe and Santiago, whose duty 1t
duty it will be regularly to inspect all
the schools in their respective prov
inces. The salary will be $2,400 per
year, and an allowance Of s. per day
will be made for expenses.
A general strike of lighter men and
wharf hands is in progress at Glen
fuegos. The strikers want higher
wages. Ships at that port cannot dis
charge cargoes.

nished to General Rus Rivera, min
lister of agriculture, the following de-
details: Prior to the war Havana con-
sumed weekly $4,000 Cuban chickens,
valued at from 40 to 60 cents apiece,
and 100000 Cuban eggs weekly, val
ued at 81 per hundred. At present
10000 eggs are imported weekly, val
ued at $1.75 per hundred, and there is

OF INTEREST TO TRAVELLERS

Philadelphia to New York by Troll
ley Among the Probabilities.
New York, Feb. 22.-Jersey City pro-
moters of the scheme for connecting
several trolley lines for through line
to Philadelphia said today that they
regarded as favorable to the pro-
gress of their plans the decision of the
Pennsylvania supreme court, order
ing back to the Bucks county court
for a rehearing the question in dispute
between the Philadelphia and Bristol
Railway company and the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad. The point at issue has
been the main stumbling block be-
tween straight trolley line from Jer-
Gey City to Philadelphia, and the law
yers for the projectors of the enter
prise declare that there is no doubt
that the case will be ultimately decided
in favor of the trolley company. and
that in a short time 1t will be ponsible
to go by trolley from here to Philadel-
phia. Should the case be decided In
favor Of the Philadelphia and Bristol
1t is considered within the probabili-
ties that one may soon come by trolley
from Philadelphia to Trenton, and
thence to Jersey City, at much less
than half the cost of the present rail-
road ride.

TIMOTHY wOoDRUFF's WELCOME.
Probable Vice Presiden iaI Cand idate
Greeted by Michigan Republicans

Probable Vice Pres N I ial Candid Q
Greeted by Michigan Republicans,
Detroit, Feb. 22.-Seyeral striking
ovations were given last night by lead
ers of the Republican party in Michi-
gan to the stars who appeared before
them on the occasion of the fifteenth
annual banquet of the Michigan club.
but the enthusiastic reception accorded
to Hon. Timothy l.. Woodruff, lieu-
tenant governor of New York, far out
shone all other features of the oc-
casion. Introduced as the probable
candidate of the great pivotal state Of
New York for vice president, Mr..
Woodruff stood mute before long
continued storm of applause, such as
would have easily upset the equanimity
of less sturdily posed person than
the brilliant and aggressive young New
Yorker. Major General Shafter. Gov
ernors Nash of Ohio, Shaw of Iowa and
Pingree of Michigan all received well
comes second only to that of Wood
ruff.
J. R. Mclaughlin, president of the
club, and Governor Pingree delivered
addresses of welcome. When the gov
ernor stated that this will probably
be the last occasion on which ! shall
address you in the capacity of gov
ernor" there was long continued
laughter and applause.

THE REIGN OF TERROR

In Congo Free State May Lead to
Iafefnstl0nal Representations.
London, Feb. BON Oct. IS of last
year;Mf. W. N. Morrison, Of the Amer
lean Presbyterian Mission, with head
quarters at Nashville, Tenn, forward
ed documents confirming the stories
of a reign of terror in the Congo Free
State and of events which may lead
to international representations" to the
king Of Belgium. The importance OF
the documents is that for the first time
the evidence offered is derived from
credible sources, from an eye witness.
Mr.. Morrison says:
ION hearing these reports we de-
cided that one Of our missionaries.
Rev. Mr.. Sheppard, should investigate.
and his report more than confirmed the
worst rumors."
Mr.. Morrison adds:
"An iniquitous tribute system, by
which great quantities Of rubber and
Ivory are obtained, is the primary
cause. Enormous tributes are demand
ed; the people are either unable or I'M
willing to pay these, and they are
punished as the state calls it. In
reality it is all only slave raiding and
plundering.
This very night some state officers
are on the road near here. Within
radius of rs miles from Leuto there
are more than 10000 persons sleeping
in forests, without shelter, in the rainy
season. The people are afraid to stay
in the villages when the Free State
officials are near"
