FREB DELIVERY
ORDER REVOKED
Political SquaOOIeS Deprive
KentCOultialS Of Mail
Delivery

Under a Washington date line the
Philadelphia Ledger to-day says:
The plain people OF Delaware are
suffering from the sins of the pollti-
clans. Some months ago the
postmaster general, by a special order,
designated Dover, Kent county. as the
distributing point for q rural free
delivery source. which was TO radiate
over the entire county and bring the
mails daily within the reach OF every
farmers domicile. One of the best
equipped special agents in the service
was assigned to the work, and he care
fully mapped out the routes and laid
out a service which. II is believed,
would have proved quite as effective as
the celebrated Carroll county service
in the adjacent State OF Maryland. But
when IL came to the selection OF the
thirty or forty carriers required the
trouble began. Each political faction
wanted all or none. on the well-known
Delaware plan. The department found
that to go on with the scheme II would
become necessary to undertake the set
tlement OF countless petty squabbles
and local jealOusies, and, after care
fully looking over the whole ground,
It came to the conclusion that "the
game was not worth the candle" The
postmaster general accordingly issued
an order suspending the establishment
OF rural free delivery throughout the
State OF Delaware until further notice.
Meanwhile the people are deprived OF
improved postal service which other
wise could have been given them. But
each politician is rejoicing that he has
headed OF the other fellows.

General Wood to Introduce

OBJECT OF TRIP TO CAPITOL
The General Has No Hesitation in
Talking About The Affairs
in Cuba

Washington, April 24.-Gen. Leon
ard Wood, governor general Of Cuba,
with Mrs. Wood and his private sec
retary, arrived here this morning, hav-
ing reached New York last night from
Havana on the Ward liner MORO Cas-
tie. Gen. Wood, who expects to re-
turn to Havana on Thursday by way
of Jacksonville, Fla, has made the
hurried trip to this country for the pur-
pose of introducing to President Nc
Kinley before the latter leaves Wash
ington for the Pacific coast the five
members Of the special commission on
foreign relations appointed by the Gu
ban constitutional convention.
Gen. Wood does not hesitate to talk
about affairs in Cuba.
1.-THE only object OF my hurried visit
here" he said, sis to introduce the five
members Of the special commission on
foreign relations appointed by the Gu
ban constitutional convention to Ppesi-
dent Mckinley. The members of the
commission represent all the different
groups Of Cubans composing the con-
stitutional convention. They have
come to the United States for the pur-
pose Of conferring with President Nc
Kinley on the matters which the con-
vention does not thoroughly under
stand, and when they return and make
their report / am convinced that there
will be a thorough understanding on
all sides of the controversy.
"The constitutional eonveRtion has
never voted on or rejected the Platt
amendment. This l can state posi-
lively, Notwithstanding the reports to
the contrary which have been sent to
the United States from Havana. Things
have been cabled here which had not
the slightest foundation in fact, which
described the strained relations be-
tween the representatives Of the Uni
ted States and those of the Cuban peo-
pie. Everything has been harmonious
since l went to Cuba, and the conven-
tion now in session is a thoroughly
representative one. Before the Plat
amendment was passed by congress the
Cubans knew the desires Of this gov
cIulueul Ou the ISSUES WHICH lut
amendment contained, because they
were submitted to them through the
executive. Intervention and the es
tablishment of naval stations are the
two things which they do not properly
comprehend, and 1 think that wher
they are fully explained in Washing
ton the only indication Of a difference
OF opinion will have been removed.
There are really but two grea
questions yet to be settled. One is the
reduction Of the duty on sugar and tn,
other is the passage of the constitution
One is economical and the other is po
litical, yet in a measure they are akin
After the constitution has been proper
ly framed and adopted the economi,
question will disappear. as there mus
be a great reduction in the duty ol
sugar. Then Cuba will be prosperou
and its relations with the Unite,
States settled on a solid basis. Tha
will end the whole difficulty, and in 2
hours the country can be turned owe
to the representatives chosen by tn
