General Leonard Wood Reaches
New York From Havana.
Will See the President and Re-
turn at Once.
SENTIMENT OF CUBA.
He Says 1t Is in Favor of Inde-
pendence First.
Intimates That Annexation
Would Follow Shortly.

New York, Nov. 29.-Among the passen-
gers who arrived today from Havana
We're Gen. Leonard Wood, governor OF
Cuba: Mrs. Wood, Michael J. Dady. the
contra ctor; Sir William Van Horne. Lieu
tenant w. Barden and Lieut.. Frank Nc
Coy.
Gen. Wood said that he would proceed
directly to Washington to report TO Pres
fdent Roosevelt and expected to return
by steamer on Dec. T. TIE said he had
expressed no opinion the annexation
of Cuba and that to do would be inn
polite. The story he added, proba-
bly, put out to affect the elections in Gu
ba, but nothing would come of it. Mat
ters were quiet in Cuba and preparations
were being made for the coming election
in February.
"Of course, said Gen. Wood, there are
a-number of people in Cuba who desire
annexation, but doubt the possibility or
securing a canvass of opinion on the ques-
ton The people of Cuba wish to see
their flag floating over MORO Castle even
if it were for only week"
Mr.. Dady says the city council of Ha-
vana by unanimous vote gave him the
Havana contract for the public improve
ments and that the plans and speciiica-
tionS are in preparation for presentation
to Gen. Wood, who will consider the mat
ter his return to Cuba.

NOW AFTER BRYAN.
Reported That P.O. Department
May Bar His Paper.

Tt is stated that postoffice department
is now Investigating" the subscription
list of William ]. Bryan's Commoner
with a view to seeing if, it is a legiti-
mate list. A Topeka man claims to
have received a letter from Mr.. Bryan
to this effect
If this is true Mr.. Bryan is not fol-
lowing the example of Editor Gaines of
the Farmers Advocate and shouting 1t
from the house tops. On the contrary
he is keeping it very still about it ex
cept to those who may be able to help
his list along. If the statement made
at the time Mr.. Bryan started hispaper
regarding the rush for subscriptions
were correct, he has perhaps, little rea-
son to fear an investigation.
Mr. Gaines, of the Advocate, has for
warded his subscription books to the
postoffice department at Washington to
prove to the department officials that
his list is according to the requirements
of the postal laws. While his recent
manifesto concerning the death of lib
erty' and kindred topics, brought back
the memory of the days of '93 and the
Legislative war, it is accomplishing one
object for which 1T was issued-bring-
ing in the cash-and this was doubtless
a consummation devoutly to be wished
to quote from the late William Shakes
peare.

MURDERED.
Latest Report From Miss Stone
and Nine. TSilka
LIS That Both Have Been Killed
by Bandits.

New York, Nov. 29.-According to the
Vienna correspondent of the World a
private telegram sent from Pera at 1
o'clock yesterday Thursday afternoon
reports that the news had just been re-
ceived that Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the
American missionary. and Mrs. Tsilka,
her companion in captivity, have been
murdered by the brigands who kidnapped
them September 3, almost three months
ago.
LACKS CONFIRMATION.
Constantinople, Nov. 29.-The report
that Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American
missionary who was abducted by bri-
gands and held for ransom, and her
companion, Mime. Tsilka, are dead is
not confirmed. Previous similar reports
have invariably proved to be without
foundation; and it is supposed that the
brigands are circulating such rumors
with the object of exciting the friends
of the captives in the hope of exacting
the full amount of ransom demanded.

MEET IN WICHITA.
Live Stock Sanitary Commission Dis

The live stock sanitary commissions of
Kansas and Oklahoma held a joint
meeting in Wichita yesterday to discuss
ways and means for obtaining better

how to protect Oklahoma cattle from
danger from infection from Texas fever
ticks The federal government regula-

cattle may be driven into southern
Oklahoma, but now the Oklahoma COM

cattlemen. The meeting was simply in
the nature of conference, as the two
boards could not act together, but they
can act separately in unison.
