LAWS ABUSE IN CUBA
A Joint Commission to Revise the

Criminal Methods to Be Considered

Secretary Root has taken steps to insti-

crying abuses growing out of the state Of
the Cuban prisons. which have already
been the subject of representations to the

Investigations into the conditions of the
prisons and the faults of the Cuban judicial

Root in his purpose to apply corrective
measures at the earliest possible moment

caution. Then, too, 1t Is desirable to avoid
antagonIzlnS unnecessarily any consider
abe elements among the native popuIa-
ton.

Therefore, to accomplish this purpose the
Secretary has decided to appoint COM
mission. composed of three Americans and
an equal number Of Cubans. This commits
sion will probably consist of Horatio Ru-
bens, E. l.. Conant and Mr.. Runcie for the
American side. These are all lawyers well
FeTsed IN the Spanish code. We'll as thor

A number Of congres sional callers talked
with the President this morning. but their

discussed the situation as he saw it there.
He says that the Filipinos were so long

the White House today. With the excep-
ton of few bruises on the mouth Dixon
did not look as IL he had been badly beaten
few nights ago. The two fighters want
ed to pay their respects to the President,
but as he was busy with cabinet officer
they went away.
1T is pretty hard for man to fight

be accused of taking. The fight few
nights ago was on the level | am twenty

IMPRESSIONS OF GUAM,
capt. McCaila Writes in Praise of
Gov. Leary's Administrations.

Capt McCalIa, commanding the L. s s.
Newark, has written a letter 10 the chief
oil the bureau of navigation, in which he
makes the following statements:
"On our way across the Pacific found it
necessary TO stop at Guam for the purposa
OF coaiing. The island is a very beautiful
and fertile one. and in the governor and his
assistant, Stafford, you seem to have Sc
lected the right men for the places. All
the officers at the station are doing their
utmost to improve the condition of the peo-
pie and In obtaining information which will
make 1t better known. l feel sure that the
governor Is exceptionally well fitted for the
position, and that his administration Will
bring great credit TO the Navy Department
and will he satisfactory to the country.
AS sanitary measure the necessary of
piping water from the mountains to Agana
ana the adjoining villages Is pressing. Ry
such an Improvement the SHALLOW wells

in and the heath of the natives would he

Could you have seen four natives splft-
ing Two Sticks OF timber with two-han-
dled saws as did l am CONVINCED you
would nave bought a steam saw with
money out Of your own pocket and dis
patched it 10 Guam by the first convey

Looking 1T the question from purely
commercial point of view, l feel satisfied
that every dollar spent by the government
on the Island OF Guam will be returned to
our country a hundredfoId
If smiling faces on the part of all whom
we saw, as the governor drove from the
landing at Pitt to the capital and return,
We're an indication OF contentrnent and sat

the new administration is already moss
