SECRETARY ROOT
Says Americans Will Keep Faith
With Cuba-His Reasons for Visit
ing the Island.

Says Americans VIII Keep Faith
with Cuba-His Reasons for Visit
ing the Island.
HAVANA, March 15.-Secretary
Root said to-day, when interviewed
by the correspondent OF the Asso-
ciated Press, that he had come to Cuba
for two reasons. In the first place.
he desired to see for himself the
working of the various departments
civil and military, and to investigate
so far as possible, the character OF the
work accomplished. In the second
place, he desired to see as many repre-
sentative men as possible, including
all the business interests, to feel that
he was in personal touch with the re-
quirements of the island.
He went on to say that he had at all
times closely followed all the reports
regarding Cuba, but he had always felt
assured that, in respect OF many mat
tiers, definite knowledge called for per-
sonal contact He now felt that the
Cubans had done wonders, considering
the nature Of the strife that had de-
vastated the country for SO long a
time. Their conduct and amiability
had greatly impressed him, and he was
satisfied from all he had seen that they
were capable of lf-governrhent.
1t is necessary. Of course. to pre-
pare for this" said Mr. Root, by
practical experience.
There is no doubt that the United
States will keep faith with the Cuban
people and the joint resolution oil
Congress will be carried out But just
exactly when, it. is impossible to say.
The municipal elections. which will
take place On May 1, will prove the
first lesson" -

NEW YORK, March 13.-The body
of DR.. Frank H. Fisher, who died at
the POSTGRADUATE Hospital after be :.
ing operated on for appendicitis, will
be taken to San Francisco for burial.
DR.. Fisher was the husband Of
Maude- Lillian Berri, of the Castle
Square Opera Company. Miss Berri
sang in Chicago last week, and DR..
Fisher arranged to have the operation
performed during her absence, for he
knew that she was to sing the role
of Zerlina in Fra Diayolo" in New
York this week, and feared the knowl-
edge of his danger might interfere
with her preparations.
He was operated on Sunday. When
Miss Berri arrived in New York Mon
day she hurried to the hospital. There
she was told the operation had not
been successful.
Monday night while Gertrude Quin-
ian was winning plaudits as Zerlina,
at the American Theatre, Miss Berri
sat at her husbands bedside watching
his life ebb away
1t was in Sab Francisco that DR..
Fisher and Miss Berri spent their
childhood and were married about six
years ago.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The Stand
ard Oil Company to-day disbursed
$4,000, 900 in dividends. The direc
tors declared, few weeks ago.. the
regular quarterly dividend of 3 per
cent. on the s100.0O0,0 900 oommcn
stock, and IL per cent in an extra
cash dividend This probably is the
largest cash disbursement ever made
at any one time on the stock of d
single Corporation. Standard Oil stock
was quoted to-day on the "curb" at $50
bid.
The magnitude OF the shifting Of
capital involved in to-day's payment
may be judged by the fact that the
largest quarterly payment which the
United States government ever hes to
make on its debts is s5,450,000 OR less
than one-fourth Of the Standard Gil
company's disbursement

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IS
When the Senate adjourned to-day,
Senator Allison, chairman of the Re-
publican caucus, had not exercised the
authority given him to appoint spec
ial caucus committee in connection
with the proposed legislation with ref
erence to Puerto Rico, but he said that
he probably would make his selections
tomorrow.
When appointed the committee will
include representatives of the various
shades of opinion on the questions
arising out of the Puerto Rican legis-
lation and its work will be devoted to
an attempt to harmonic the various
opinions.
In taking up the appropriation bill
to-day, the Republican Senators began
the first proceeding on their program.
With that feature disposed of, they
will address themselves to the ques-
ton of securing form of government
for the island and to the consideration
of the tariff problem. They. still look
upon the latter question as the most
complicated and difficult one for their
disposal and the proposed committee
will be expected to devote itself to it
with especial assiduity.
The committee probably will give it's
first attention to the House bill, which
deals entirely with the tariff questions.
Whether this bill is to be separated
from the Senate bill, which includes
governmental features as well as tariff
provisions, remains to be determined.
Some Republican Senators express the
opinion that the House bill will catch
outside votes, including those of SEN
ator Teller, independently, and Sen
ator McEnery, (Democrat), which
might not. be cast for bill which car
ried the machinery of administration
with it. On the other hand some Re-
publican Senators have manifested a
disposition to oppose to the end any
proposition for a duty on the COM
MERGE between the two countries.
The present disposition seems to be
to act on the two measures conjoint-
ly, but there has been more or less
discussion of the possible necessity of
separation. If this should become
necessary the tariff feature of the
Senate bill would be eliminated.
Senator Foraker, who will be chair
man of what may be called the Puerto
Rican steering committee, says there
Is no purpose to abte the pressure for
consideration of the governmental bill
and that he will keep it to the front
while the special committee is at
work.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 15.-Judge

Court No. 2, to-day filed an opinion
in the case of DR.. S. H. Ralston

was held.

he is. and am so far quite unable to

He did not come back last night to
the hotel (the Schenley), nor was he
on either section of the train he was
to have taken. The guards at the
gates at Union Station say he did not
pass them last night. They are quite
sure of that. The police department
of this city has heard nothing of him.
In short, he has completely dinp-
peared. / am greatly alarmed about
him, for l an not able to form a con-
lecture as to his whereabouts, and I
even fear that some i'll may have be-
fallen him.
The police department have not yet
been able to locate the missing man.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
II assert most emphatically that when
the Senator says I told him 1 should
not speak on this subject, he does not
state the truth
This was the sensational retort made
in the Senate to-day by Mr.. Gallinger,
Rep, New Hampshire), to a state
ment just made by Mr.. Penrose, (Rep.,
Pennsylvania).
Senators were astounded and the
auditors in the galleries quivered with
excitement. There had scarcely been
the slightest intimation that the de-
bate would take such a turn. For
nearly three hours the Senate had had
under discussion the bill appropriat-
ing $2,095,000 for the benefit of the
people of Puerto Rico. Mr.. Fair
banks, Gndiana); had just. concluded
some remarks on the measure and
suggested that the Senate proceed to
the consideration of executive bust
ness. Pending a motion to that effect,
Mr.. Penrose, who has charge of the
case of former Senator Quay, suggest
ed that time be fixed for vote on
the case. In the course of his re-
marks he intimated that certain -Sena-
tors were throwing obstacles in the
way Of vote and indicated that Mr..
Gallinger was one of those Sepators.
Mr.. Gallinger quickly replied that
he desired to be heard ON the question,
but not had an opportunity to speak
To this statement Mr.. Penrose retort-
ed that the New Hampshire Senator
had assured him that he did not ex-
pect to speak on the Quay case.
Instantly Mr.. Gallinger was on his
feet, and with evident feeling and
with great vehemence replied as above
quoted.
II do not know whether I do not
speak the truth" holly replied Mr..
Penrose, cor whether the Senator from
New Hampshire failed to tell me the
truth
. Mr.. Gallinger retorted that the
whole proceeding of Mr.. Penrose was
unmanly and beneath his notice.
The proposition to fix time for a
vote was postponed until tomorrow,
but it was some time before the ex-
element subsidized.
The debate on the appropriation
bill developed a decided difference of
opinion, as Mr.. Jones, Oem., Arkan-
sas), offered as a substitute for the
measure a bill to return the duties to
those who had paid them and provid-
ing for absolute free trade between the
United States and Puerto Rico. The
bill had not been disposed of when
the Quay case was called up. Mr..
Wellington, (Rep., Maryland), pre-
scented an elaborate argument against
the seating of Mr.. Quay, and the re-
mainder of the session was consumed
in a running discussion of the con-
stitutional questions involved.
