MAY TEST CUBAN RELATIONS.
Action of Neely Witnesses in Indi-
ana Offers Opportunity.


Indianapolis, Aug. THE denial Of
jurisdiction by Cuba in the effort of
the United States government to Sc
cure evidence in. the Neely case, as
made by the officers of the indianapolis
Keyless Lock Company, may be the
means, it is believed here. of securing
general test of the question of the
lnSular relations between this country
and Cuba. Commissioner Moore will
submit the question to District Judge
Baker and with 1t the formal refusal
OF the company's officers to testify. AS
sistant District Attorney Lafollette had
no difficulty whatever in securing evi-
dence at Muncie in the Neely case
when he went there recently.
NO subpoenaes were issued and wit
nesses appeared promptly and told all
they knew without reserve. Mr.. La
tollette's inquiries disclosed that Neely
had between 1885, 900 and $40,0 900 on de-
pos1t in Muncie. OF this $21, 900 was
wired to him when he was arrested
for bond. After his release on
bond he returned to Munice and drew
$l2.9O0. He did not have this when he
was rearrested and no trace of it has
ever been found.
Ross Cowan of the Neely Printing
Company testified that his company
OF which Nicely was a stockholder, had
furnished about 5000 worth of supplies
to the Cuban postoffices. 1t is said this
was probably larger amount than the
supplies could have been secured for
in the open market. though how much
profit could have been made on them
is not disclosed.

WANT THEIR-LEADERS BACK.
Hut Tampa Tells Resistencia They
Are Gone Beyond Recall.


Tampa, Fla. Aug. 1.-THE Resis-
tencia union has changed it's position
several times to-day. This morning
the strikers were taking an obligation
to leave Tampa in a body and never
return under any circumstances. This
afternoon they issued statement that
IL their leaders are returned to them
they will then be ready to arbitrate
and settle. They declare that they
will do nothing until this is done. Citi-
zens say they will have long job of
waiting on their hands. It seems to be
positively settled tonight that these
leaders are gone beyond reach and this
is impressing itself upon their minds.
Resistencia has been telegraphing to
Key West and. New York all day try
ing to employ attorneys to come here
and take their cases, but with what
success is unknown tonight. This ac-
ton was upon the belief that the men
were in jail. They are not and never
have been. From their vacillating
moods it is interpreted that they are
wavering and will soon be ready to
reason and resume work where they
left off. Tampa served them with no
tice to-day that IL they desire to leave
in a body they can do so without objec-
ton being raised

A long preamble asserts that Cuba,
If she does not obtain concessions to
which she has a perfect right in view
of the fact that she is under the eco
nomic as well as the political protec-
ton of the United States should ask
for annexation.
This the United States would
grant" the preamble goes on to say,
"as it would be in conformity with
the desire of a majority of the Amer
lean people. Thus the successful oppo-
sition of the sugar and tobacco in
terests of the United States to grant
ing concessions to Cuba would only re-
suit in the ruin of those interests,
since, with annexation Cuba would
have free trade, and this would mean
the overthrow of the sugar and tobac-

tse have caused the death of many
thousands in China. The river has ris-
en- forty feet, and for hundreds of

prove powerful factor in carrying the
weight of public opinion with the strike
and perhaps give far more substantial
support to the organization now strug-
Cling than by any other means.
Policy of silence.
No one in the offices of the trust
seems to expect any settlement of the
strike, except by the destruction of the
organization of the Amalgamated AS
sociation in all trust mills. 1t seems
perfectly reasonable to the officials that
this should be the result of the present
difficulty and they look for no other.
The whole plan of campaign will be
one of silence and no statement will be
made by the officials of any kind. 1t
is expected to keep the strikers guess
ing all the time, and not knowing
where their lines are to be attacked. 1t
is said that the officials have received
assurances from many of them that
they will return at the proper time, and
they could start several of their mills
if it was. not for the desire on their
part to avoid any rupture or create
riots or violence. They deny that there
is any motive on their part to goad
the men to acts which will give cause
for calling on the militia to guard
property and allow non-union men to
work in peace.
