THOUGHT THUGS PURSUED HIM
JOHN MGAHRAN SEEKS POLICE
PROTECTION.
Was Foreman in Corey's Camp and
Principal Trouble Was Insomnia
and Whisky.

John McGahran, native of Nova SEQ
tlas and foreman in Corey's camp, who
has been in town for the asst three or four
days pecreating, came to the police head
quarters early this morning and asked
that he be given protection against a band
or men who were pursuing rim with pis-
tolls, bowie knives and ropes, with the
intention Of hanging him. shooting him.
carving him and otherwise committing
breaches Of etiquette toward him. he
claimed that these men were some who
had worked under him up in the canyon
ana he felt that since he was only armed
with a flask of the vintage Of 80 and a sill
yer dollar. he was hardly a match for
them
1t developed in the couse of conveFsa-
ton that he was quite as afraid of the
dark as he was of his antagonists; also
that he was suffering from insomnia; so it
was concluded. by the worthless of the law
that the man must have taken an over
dose of min e pie or something else. and
he was locked up pending the diagnosis
of DR.. s. Kimban.
The last heard of the poor fellow were
his snores So completely did he put his
confidence in tho forearms of propriety
and righteousness that sleep came to him
without an effort.

ROOT RETURNS FROM CUBA
CANNOT SAY WHEN INDEPEN.
DENCE WILL BE GRANTED.
Arrangements Being Made For Hold
ing the First Elections On the
Island.

Washington, March 20-Secretary
Root this afternoon gave to President
Mckinley the results of his observa-
tons of affairs in Cuba during his re-
cent trip to the island. Subsequently
the secretary consented to talk for pub
LEGATION as to existing conditions in
the island and the possibilities Of the
people in the direction Of self-govern-
ment.
The secretary expressed himself as
satisfied on the whole with what he
saw. Naturally, the question Of the I'LL
innate independence of the island came
up for discussion during the secretary'S
visit to Cuba, but he was not prepared
to say just when the United States
government would be willing that this
should be a reality.
incidentally to this matter, which is
uppermost in the Cuban minds, are
the formative steps that viii bring it
about. The first Of these. viz: the
holding of the municipal elections at an
early date. was a subject that Secre-
tary Root discussed freely. particularly
with the United States officials on the
island.
These elections" said the secretary.
will be Cuba's first effort towards pop
ular government. Upaccustomed as
they are to these things, they are as
the babe unborn. and have everything
to learn. The whole plan for municipal
suffrage has to be carefully worked
out, and the people instructed in all
the details. This involves a vast
amount of labor and takes consider
able time, but ultimately the plan will
be worked out and the elections held
hardly believe. however, that the au-
thorities will be quite ready for hold
ing the elections by the 1st of Nav"
Secretary Root was not prepared to
venture an opinion as to just when he
believed this government would grant
complete independence to the Cubans
The declaration in the joint resolution
of congress, however, granting them
full independence, would be carried out.
He pointed out how il would be neces-
sary that the municipal governments
should be firmly established on a
working basis. after which attention
would be given to the selection of a
constitutional convention for the pur-
pose of framing constitution for the
island and tbs adoption by the people
Following this and the establish
ment of a firm government in the
island. the secretary felt would be
time for the formal recognition of the
independence of the island and the
withdrawal of the troOps and super
vision of the authorities of the United
States. Mr.. Root made it a feature
of his visit 70 talk with the leaders of
what has been known as the revolu-
tionary movement of the population
and those who are opposed to annexa-
ton to the United States. and he says
they are not impatient over what are
regarded as necessary and reasonable
delays in the formation Of a we'll es-
tablished government, realizing that
these are necessity.

NO CONVICT MADE BR0ONS
ATTORNEY GENERAL REPLIES
TO SECRETARY HAMMOND.
Latter Wanted to Know IF he Could
Use Ccnvicts to Make Brooms For
Ogden Men.

Attorney General Bishop yesterday
answered request from Secretary
hammond who, ss acting governor,
made an inquiry as 20 the feasibility of
using convict labor for outside work.
The question came up as the result of
e communication from Scoville Broth
erS of Ogden, submitting a proposition
Tor the manufacture of brooms at the
penftentiary.
The Ogden men agreed to furnish all
raw material, all machinery and an
oNerseer and TO pay the state a certain
price for every broom manufacturers
IN nus opinion Judge Bishop states that
while the proposal, if accepted, would
NOT De a direct violation OF the section
OF the constitution which prohibits d.
rect contracts for prison labor, it would
IN effect be such violation. 1t was
therefore his judgment that the idea
should be rejected.
