Sweeping Reforms to BE Instituted
In the Judicial System OF
the Island.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-Secretary
Root has taken steps to institute at once
sweeping reforms in the judicial system
in Cuba, the animating purpose being to
correct as soon as possible the Cuban
prison abuses which have already been
the subject of representations to the war
department.
Secretary Wood has been giving this
matter his attention, and his investiga-
tons into. the conditions of the prisons
and the Cuban judicial situation gener-
ally have confirmed Secretary Root in
his determination to apply corrective
measures at the earliest possible mo-
ment; To accomplish this purpose the
secretary has decided to appoint COM
mission composed of three Americans and
an equal number of Cubans. This COM
mission will consist of Horatio Rubens.
E. l.; Conant and Mr.. Runcie for the
American side. They are all lawyers
who are well versed in the Spanish code.
as well as thoroughly acquainted with
American practice. The Cuban contin-
gent will probably be selected by Gov
Wood from among the members of the
Havana bar. The commission will meet
at the earliest possible date in Havana
and begin at once n revision of the crimi-
nal methods, following this UP later on
with the amendments of the civil code
where necessary.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia special to tho
Herald from Washington says:
Official reports received by Rear Ad-
miral Bradford, chief of the bureau of
equipment, from Lieut.. Commander II. NJ.
Hodges, commander of the Nero, an
nounce the feasibility of a cable route
across the Pacific connecting San Fran
cisco, Midway islands, Guam, Luzon and
Yokohama.
The Nero surveyed between Guam and
Luzon and then ran back to Guam, pur-
suing zgZag course, in order to sound
along the route selected, with a view to
obtaining the best possible location for
the cable. Then she ran straight course
to Yokohama. She returned, zigzagging
to Guam. and will zigzag across the line
to. the Midway islands and to Honolulu,
when her work will be completed.
The Nero has found depth of less
than 5000 fathoms between Yokohama
and Guam and Luzon and Guam. Three
thousand fathoms Is the extreme depth
the authorities were willing to lay the
cable.
The cable between Honolulu and Dom
gala bay, which is the Luzon terminus of
the cable line, will be Asp knots long,
Only two offsets from the projected great
circle route between the Midway islands
and Guam were found necessary to avoid
obstacles to successful laying and opera
ton of the cable. The first was a SUBJ
marine mountain a short distance west of
the Midway islands and the second an
abyss more than 1900 fathoms deep found
about 500 miles east of Guam.

Lake, and member Of the legislature Of

Lake, and a member of the legislature OF
that state. He testified that he had met
Mr.. Clark at the Knutsford hotel, in Salt
Lake, during the senatorial deadlock In
that state last February. and that Mr..
Clark had tried to influence him to vote
for McCune for United States senator
from Utah, intimating that In case he
would do so he would be paid for the act.
Relating to the conversation Mr.. jack
son said that Clark had said that McCune
was a liberal man who never forgot his
friends. and said:
IF should see my way clear to voting
for him he had no doubt he would do
something handsome for me-"
Jackson said he had declined, and that
Clark had then proceeded to argue the
point, saying that all scandals of that
character soon died out; that 1t was the
custom of men of wealth to spend money
to secure election to the senate. Jackson
said Mr.. Clark. cited the case of Senator
Hanna, Of Ohio, as in point.
Continuing, he said that Mr. Clark stated
that in his own case he had used money
to secure his own election, which had
then recently occurred. His election
caused some talk, and some members had
foolishIy exhibited some bills In care
less way, but he had no doubt the talk
would die out and he would hear little of
it. Mr.. Clark had asked him to regard the
conversation as confidential.
No More Witnesses TIL Wednesday.
When Mr. Jackson concluded his testi-
mony it was announced that no more
witnesses would be examined before
Wednesday next, and after an executive
session the committee adjourned.
