STATEMENT OF MR.. ROOT.
He Agnin Admitr That Army Officers
Are Allowed Extra Pay.


The Secretary of War is making ready
his answer to the Senate resolution asking
for information concerning extra Fay
which is being given 20 Army Off
GERS performing civil duties in Cuba.
Mr. Root said again today that the an
swer of the Department would admit the
fact Of extra allowances being made to
four officers and that the allowances have
been paid and are being paid solely out Of
the Cuban revenues. He said the order fo-
the extra alaS vance was issued IN March
a year ago, sd was made by Mr.. Alger.
1T affected only four officers, the mill
tary governor OF the island. the governor
of the city OF Havana. the collector of
customs. and the treasurer Of the island
1t amounted in total TO about $4,000 a
year The matter was passed on at the
time by Attorney General Griggs, and the
order was approved by him as being per-
fectly legal. There is nothing in the ques-
tion TO make fuss about Those officials
ware called on 20 do extra duty involving
civil functions for the island and they
could not live oa their army salaries. and
it was deemed only right that the people
whom they were serving should be made
20 help pay their exr4nses.'
The original order made by Mr.. Alger
only provided for allowances for three Of
ficers and gave General Brooke $7,562 ex-
ira. General Ludlow s5.OO0 and Colonel
Bliss 81, SEQ. A month later the treasurer
of the island. Major Ladd, was added.

AT THE CRoToN DAM.
Trouble Feared After the strikers
Receive Their Pay.

CROToN LANDING, y Y, April 21.-
Many Italian laborers arrived here today
on trains from New York City and pro-
ceeded at once to the scene OF the strike
al the new Cornell Dam of the Croton
Reservoir. The incoming Italians did not
come in large gangs, but small groups ar
rived on every train Most of these said
they had merely come back to get their
pay because this is the regular pay day.
Some said that after they got the wages
due them they were going away, while
others proposed desire to continue at
work for the old rate OF 81 . a day for al
borers.
One Of the men who quit TO get work in
New York city. said this morning that
more than half the trouble was caused
by the announcement OF the leaders that
work would be plentiful in New York on
the underground rapid transit railway for
3 per day. The leaders, he said would
show 10 the Croton Dam labOrers the
newspaper pictures OF the tunnel road and
the men at work on IL and tell them that
all they had to do was to go TO New York
and get plenty of work When the credu-
lOus ones went TO New York they found
that there were already in that city more
laborers than were needed TO build twenty
underground railroads. Like themselves
they had hocked into the city from all
parts of the country, only TO find too late
that New York did not need any outside
help to build public works.
II was cloudy weather when the whistle
blew at o'clock for the men to go to
work, but it was not raining and it looked
as though more men responded today TO go
| 10 work than yesterday although it was
evident cd afu n hea
| in time when the contractors started in to
| pay OFF the men.
The contractors. Messrs. Coleman
! Breuchaud & Coleman are still obdurate
in the matter OF wages. The Rev. Father
| Milo. from st. Roches Church, New York.
| and Editor F. S. Frugcne. Of the New
/ York Italian paper, "Battellino Della
| Zera," who had conference last evening
! with the contractors on bshalf OF the Ital-
| ians. could not secure even a concession
/ of 10 cents q 62y for them. Some Of the
! Italians say that if they could get only
| S1-30 day, instead of S1.25. il would be a
| concession which would enable them to
| go back to work gracefully.
The contractors, however. diG not seem
| to be concerned as to whether the men
| went back gracefully or awkwardly. SO
| long as they or somebody else went 10
work. The priest and the Italian editor
/ therefore returned to New York without
/ having accomplished anything more than

JUDGE CANTRILL ENRkGED.
The PubiieRts0E of the Taylor In
dictu1ent 40 BE PrObed.

LOUISVILLE. KY, April 21.-It is ad-
mitted teday that an Indictment has been
returned against w s, Taylor as an aeces-
-ory TO the Cox -el murder and that the
story of The sensational scene in the grand
Jury room. as published yesterday, is cor
rect. Circuit JudGe Cantrill was much en-
ragged when he sarnsd Of the publication

ately set on foot an investigation 10 learn

tanned week ago he warned the news
paper correspondents here against just
such publications. and. he says. il he To-
Gates the offender. the latter wiz certainly
receive jail sentence for contempt Of
court
There can be but two reasons for the
holding up Of the Official paper; one of
these Is thas- the court officials desired no
publication until after the Supreme Court
had acted in the goyernOrship case, and
the other that they feared that Taylor
might not return 20 Kentucky but join
former Secretary OF State Finley in In
diana, IL ne heard or the indictment before
leaving WashinF-on. The former is be-
lieved TO be the rue reason. The officials
say they did not want TO either prejudice
the case of Taylor before the Supreme
Court or to create sympathy for him there.
The Indictment was not made part of
the court record today. Commonwealth S
Attorney Franklin, when asked today
whether an indictment had been found
against Taylor. declined to make any
statement Circuit Clerk Ford said no
such indie -meut had been entered Of record
but this does net cover the case. as the
