Selected as the Regiment to Leave
Cuba.

Gen Wood, governor general of Cuba.
was at the War Department again today
and had conference with the Secretary of
War, with the result that 1t was determined
to keep a force of about 5000 troops IN
Cuba for several months TO come. This
decision will permit Of the withdrawal
from the island of another regiment in aG-
dition to the three previously ordered home.
The 1st Regiment of Infantry, posted IN
Pinar del Rio and Guanajay, has been
selected as the fourth regiment to come
home and orders to that end were tele-
graphed to Cuba by Gen. Wood. 1t was
also decided that the constitutional con-
vention of Cuba should be convened dur
irg the early fall. and the date was left TO
the discretion of Gen. Wood.
Gen. Wood says that peace and quiet pre-
vail in Cuba, and that troops are kept there
simply for their moral influence and as an
indication to the people that lawlessness
will not be tolerated. Gen. Wood said that
the climatic conditions of Havana are su
periOr to those of Washington and that
he is suffering more from the present spell
of hot weather than he did at any time
during his residence in Cuba There Is an
oppressiveness in the Washington atmos-
phere that is not apparent In the atmos-
activity in the air of the latter place that
is unpleasantly absent in Washington at
this time.
Gen. Wood left here this afternoon for
New York and will make visit to his
mother at Boston early next week. He
expects to sail for Havana to resume his
official duties next Saturday.

BAD LIQUOR IN MANILA.
Crusade Against 1. Begun by the Mill
tary Authorities.

The military authorities at Manila have
determined to obliterate the Illicit manu-
facture and sale Of bad liquor in that city
The crusade has been officially undertaken
against the alleged makers of impure api-
sado' A test case has been brought
against one firm whose immense stock of
this material was seized by order of Cen
eral Macarthur. The authorities have
been impressed with the large number of
applications that came in daily, especially
from the Chinese, requesting license to
manufacture wine. whisky, etc. The traf-
fc Is however, not confined to Cinnamon.
Many Americans and Europeans have gone
into the business. with every appearance of
profit. The effect of this business on the
army Is to increase the number of courts
martial. Army officers at Manila officially
express the opinion that the license wnich
has prevailed in regard to sellers of bad
liquor is accountable for the disorder which
prevails in some quarters. 1t has excited
men to disobedience of orders and insubor-
dination.
The latter situation points. in the opinion
of army officers. to the necessity of main
tanning army canteens to be conducted on
a strictly military basis.

Anna GouId's Husband Wounds Count
OrIOwski with Sword.

PARIS, July 21.-Count Boni de Castel-
lane Cwho married Miss Anna Gould OF
New York; fought a duel with swords to-
day with Count Orlowski in the outskirts
of Paris. In the first assault Count Or
lcwski was wounded in the thoraX and the
duel was stopped by the doctors. The con-
ditions of the duel were that the contest
should continue until one of the combatants
was absolutely unable to continue.
The cause of the duel was a newspaper
article reciting a quarrel between the two.
occurring in Count Boni de Castellane's
house. Count Orlowski charged Castellare
with responsibility for the article.
The seconds failed to reach a satisfactory
arrangement and decided that a meeting
was necessary.

AN UPRISING IN MANILA
FILIPINO DOCUMENTS FOUND con-
TANNING DETAILS OF A PLOT.
Force in the City to BE Attacked and
Arms and Ammunition to
BE Seized.

The Secretary of War has been furnished
with copies of some Interesting documents
relating to an alleged plot against the au-
thorities in Manila, which We're discovered
in the district of San Miguel.
The secret service department, under
Lieutenant Charles r. Trowbridge, 11th
Cavalry. early in June stumbled upon an
insurgent recruiting office situated in an
isolated locality, where the work might
be carried on without attracting notice.
One room of the house which was searched
was fitted up as an office. and a large
quantity of blank forms, bearing the head
line .Republica Filipinas were found. In
cupboard, which had been securely fas-
tened Lieut.. Trowbridge and his men dis
covered a large quantity of papers, all
bearing recent date marks, the latest being
June {. They consisted of orders from
Aguinaldo and letters of encouragement
and instruction from that leader and other
insurgent chiefs.
A document which excited great deal of
interest was one which contained the de-
tails of plot, arranged evidently early In
June, to excite an uprising in Manila. The
plan contemplated attack upon the force
in the city and the seizure of arms and
ammunition Another paper which is of in
terest is translated as follows:
We will not be slaves. Let the Filipinos
stand together and battle for their liberties.
Already they have laid the corner stone of
their liberties. and 1t will not be long be-
fore the nations OF the world will recognize
their strength. The blood of innumerable
martyrs bear ample testimony to the Fill
pino's love of freedom and their determined
purpose not to cease struggling for it. Shall
they allow the Americans to exercise un-
contested sway over the fair F'ilipinos?
Then, if they do, the fate of the American
red men is theirs, and eventually a reser-
walton will be assigned to them. Brothers,
our cause is just: therefore let us continue
as a thorn in the side of our oppressors
and strike where We dare, sparing neither
men, women, children nor old people Those
who stay by each other in hours of adver-
Sity are sure to conquer in the end"

Minister Conger, Sir Walter said: This
Is the most hopeful news that has come
from China for a long time However, 1

IN China was one Of the greatest problems
against which foreigners would have to
contend The road from Tien Tsin to Pc
kin was well nigh impossible. The Pei-ho
river was naViSable only short distance,
and military equipments could not be taken
over the roads with any advantage On
making an advance to Pekin he said the
MrSt step necessary would be to clear Tien
ISln Of the Chinese and protect the base
or the allies This would be necessary be-
fore any advance could be- made

RETALIATION CUT BOTH WAYS.
American Vessels Will BE Asked to
Call Mt Vancouver.

In report to the State Department Con-
sui Dudley at Vancouver, B. c., says:
About three months ago arrangements
were made which prevented vessels from
the United States bound for ports in Alas
ka calling here en- route. 1t was under
stood that this action was taken as a re-
taliatory measure. because British vessels
were not given certain privileges which
they desired in the ports of the United
States.
THE people here now seem to be con-
WINGED that the driving away of American
vessels has had a prejudicial effect upon
the business Of this city. 1t is stated, upon
what seems good authority, that the United
States vessels which formerly called here
on their way to and from Alaska will be
asked to resume the old custom.
Formerly there was a very considera BILE
fleet of American vessels making regular
calls here. thereby furnishing Vancouver
merchants frequent opportunities for max
ing shipments TO Alaska and the Yukon ter
ritory'
