REFORMS FOR CUBA.
Secretary Root Determined to Correct
Abuses in judicial system.

WASHINGTON. jan 13-Secretary Root
has taken steps to institute at once sweep
ing 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
General Wood has been giving this matter
his attention and his investigations into
the conditions of the prisons and the
faults of the Cuban judicial systems gen.
orally have confirmed Secretary Root in
his purpose to apply corrective measures at
the earliest possible moment. To accom-
plish this purpose. the secretary has de-
cided to appoint a commission composed of
three Americans and an equal number Of
Cubans. This commission will probably
consist of Horatio Rubens, Z. L. Canant
and Mr.. Runcie for the American side
These are all lawyers, well versed In the
Spanish code. as well as thoroughly ac-
quainted with American practice.
The Cuban contingent will probably be
selected by Governor Wood from among
the members of the Havana bar. The
committee will meet at the earliest possible
moment at Havana and begin at once a re-
vision of the criminal methods, following
this I'D later on with amendments to the
civil code where necessary 1t is not the
purpose to outrage local sentiment and
disturb well established practice, except
In instances where rank injustice fiourishes
under 1t. But IL cannot be tolerated that
persons charged with the smallest of mis-
demeanorS and little larcenies should lam
guish as at present, for year in jail be-
fore having any kind of trial, and to such
abuses as these. as well as TO the incom-
municado system, the commission will de-
vote its immediate attention. Mr.. Rubens
had a consultation with Secretary Root
to-day and left Washington for New York.
He expects TO proceed to Havana via Mi
ami next Wednesday.

CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES.
Foreigners Say American Warships
Bombarded Hoilo Too Soon.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13-The New York
Export and Import Company has obtained
from its Manila agency a number of claims
against the United States government for
the destruction OF property of foreign res
fdents during the bombardment Of Aloilo
and other towns in the Philippines.
One specific claim is from the Swiss house
of Holman & Co.. Iloilo. for quarter OF
million dollars. The damage seems to have
come because some of Dewey's ships were
a little ahead OF time. When the American
troops landed in Iloilo, General Otis,
through the commanding ohcer ana py VIZ

lean sovereignty The foreign merchants,
Including Holman & Co, recognized the
Americans and took out licenses 10 do busl-

LIQUOR LAW EVADED.
How Thirsty North Dakotans Secure
Material for q "Jag."

FARGO, N. D., Jan. 13.-Whisky men
have devised a new scheme to evade the
state law. They ship their goods to points
over the State and the consignments are
made in their own name. Accompanying
these shipments are blank order books
signed by the shippers. Thirsty individuals
go into the depots, fill out an order book,
pay the charges and carry away the stuff
In this way the goods are not shipped to
fictitious persons and are released only on
signed orders of the consignees. In the
smaller towns several persons form com
panies" contribute enough to pay for a
case or keg of beer that is at the depot
in the name of the wholesale Minnesota
whisky firm and secure the stuff.

SENIOR MORA'S REMOVAL
GOVERNOR WOODS ACTION GENER-
ALLY APPROVED By CUBANS.
The Supreme Court Fiscal Guilty OF
NeEIiGence-RefOrm to BE Urged
by the Secretary Of War.

HAVANA, Jan. Ex-Governor General
Wood on Monday will issue an order ap-
pointing commission of three to study
and report on the problem of taxation
throughout the entire island.
The removal Of Senior FREDERICK Mora,
fiscal of the Supreme Court continues the
main topic of discussion in the city. All
are apparently coming to the conclusion
that the action of the governor general was
justifiable. the only question being whether
Senior Mora should not be prosecuted. The
people, especially the lawyers. have begun
to realize that the fact that men who have
been allowed to lie in prison for years have
not been brought TO trial within the past
few months Is due entirely to the fiscal.
One man, who had been fourteen years
awaiting trial, had applications on file in
Senior Morals office, asking the reason for
his acknowledgement. There are many sim
liar cases, investigation of which will show,
If nothing worse, culpable negligence and
absolute inattention to the duties of the
office.
Mora took advantage of a favorable oppor-
tunity. anticipating his inevitable downfall,
by posing as the champion of the inviol-
ability of the law. The Cubano also says
assured, when the latter, seizing the oppor-
tunity which was at hand, tried to make
his dismissal unpopular. General Wood
has done a good action, the paper declares,
and should continue the process, which,
though drastic, is essential to reforms long
desired by the Cubans.
The Lucha says: 1.-The intervening gov
eminent was well within it's rights in dis
missing Mora, who lost his position be-
cause of negligence of what everyone was
cogniZant. 1t is useless for the Radicals to
try to utilize the circumstances in order to
attack General Wood, as Mora lent abso-
iutely no service to the revolution
The Discussion thinks General Wood
should not have dismissed without con-
sultation of the entire cabinet of secre-
taries.
The lower part of Havana, bordering on
the bay, is to be disinfected again. Surgeon
Major Davis says the work is to be done
more thoroughly than before, he is con-
WINGED that the recently reported cases of
yellow fever originated there.

stop the practice of begging, which is as

WAS CHOYNSKI ROBBED?
REFEREE SAYS MCCOY WAS NOT OUT
IN THE SECOND ROUND.
Joe Is Certain, However, He Had the
Kid Whipped-The Latter Sorry
There Was a Mistake.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-The decision of
Johnny White in awarding the bout at the
Broadway Athletic Club last night to Nc
Coy is quite generally upheld by the morn
ing papers here, although two of them
claim that Choynski was treated unfairly.
All the papers argue that the mistake of
the timekeeper was deplorable and that
in that respect the Californian did not re-
ceive his just dues. Timekeeper Dunn re-
fused to discuss the fight He closed his
watch and left the building. But he was
seen to protest to the referee at the end
Of the second round that he was right.
Choynski, in an interview with a World
reporter, said: 81 was robbed of the fight.
I knocked Mccoy out in the second round
with right swing on the jaw, and he
was down twelve or fifteen seconds. Both
timekeepers, the clubs and my own, agreed
on that, and Dunn rang the bell to indi-
cate that the fight was over. 1t was called
round, but Mccoy had one minute and
forty seconds to recover. In the third
round Mccoy knocked me down after the
bell rang. l am little deaf, but / heard
the bell. Mccoy didn't 1t knocked me out
and 1 was unable to come up for the next
round. 1 was robbed"
Mccoy said: II am sorry there was a
misunderstanding about the time. 1 was
not out. although 1 was pretty weak. I
was careless and got a punch on the jaw
In the second round that dazed me. The
fourth time Choynsh knocked me down
took my time and listened to the referees
count. / got up just he counted ten
and then the bell rang. l showed that
lad considerable strength left by landing
on Choynskis jaw and stopping him.
The punch knocked him out with started
before the bell rang in the third round. I
fought fairly. and if a mistake was made
1t was not mine. l thought 1 could whip
him. 1 did, and think L can again."
Referee White said: Mccoy was not
Knocked out. 1 counted nine and Mccoy
got up just as 1 counted ten. Then the
bell rang, and L and the fighters thought
the round was over. 1t seems there was
a misunderstanding. The timekeeper had
taken it upon himself to count out Mccoy
and rang the bell. He had no business to
do it. 1t was my place. and 1 say Mccoy
was not out. He was up before finished
counting ten. The punch Mccoy struck
Choynski as the bell rang was unprcmedi-
tated, and while it knocked Choynski down,
Old not affect the result. Choynski was
very sick from a punch in the stomach
when the bell rang for the fourth round.
He refused to come from his corner and
I was compelled to give the fight to Nc
Coy"
Many of the spectators of the fight when
seen around the uptown hotels late last
night declared that Choynski should have
been given more consideration and there
were not few who limited at 'jobbery."
On the other hand, the managers of the
club and McCoy's followers aver that
everything was fair and that Referee
White could, under the circumstance, have
rendered no other decision.

Bryan on Trusts.

z The New York Evening Post was Bit
terly opposed to the election of Mckin-
ley, and for awhile leaned towards
Bryan. 1t knows better now-since Mr..
Bryans speech ut Madison Square Gar
den, where he exploited trusts as the
paramount issue In the campaign, and
neglected to say word for silver. The
Post takes very common-sense view
OF the convention. or rather the indis-
crlmlnate war the apostle of calamity
is waging against capital. 1t says:
