NAVAL STATION FOR CUBA COAST
Surveys for Their Location by Onr
Government

Washington, June THE naval sur
veys, which have been in progress for
some time along the Cuban coast, have
disclosed the most available harbors
for coaling and naval stations, in case
these are established in accordance
with the Plat amendment. Probably
the most important points are Cape
San Antonio. at the extreme western
extremity Of Cuba. and Cape Maysi,
at b extreme eastern end.
AT Cape Maysi it has been found that
there is a reef running far out into
the water, and that there is no suit
able harbor within about forty miles
OF the cape. The Bay Of Nipe appears
to offer b most available harbor in
that locality.
At the other extremity Of the island,
it has beer found that Cape Antonio
has no harbors of III kind in its inn
mediate vicinity suitable for a naval or
coaling station. This locality is regard
ed as extremely important from a ma
val and strategic standpoint, as it COM
mands the Yucatan passage. Most of
h large harbors along the northern
and southern coast have been sur
veyed and charted

The Money Goes to Charity.

London, June 7.-Another of Britain'S
great racing trophies has been captur-
ed by America. Foxhall H. Keene hav-
ing won the Oaks with Cap and Bells
II. ridden by Milton Henry.
The owner. morse and jockey are ali
thoroughbred Americans. so the victory
was not diluted, as was in the case of
the Derby. Yesterday long odds were
obtainable against the American horse
but the odds shortened this morning
until Cap and Bells II stood at the head
of the list and started al 9 to 4 against.
The hollowness of the victory detract-
ed from the interest in the race. Lord
Ellesmer'S Kilwalin-Sabra was second
and Mr.. Cookers Minnie Dee third.

TWO JAIL TRAGEDIES
End the Lives of Two Prisoners Con.
vIcted of Bank Robbery

Trenton, Ont, June 7.-Of the three
men Fred Lee Rice, Thomas Jones and
Frank R~utledge, extradited from
Chicago to stand trial for the robbery
of a bank in Aurora, Ont, Rice is the
only living survivor of the trio to serve
out the twenty-one years imprisonment
to which he was sentenced this morn
ing.
Two tragedies have put Jones and
Rutledge beyond reach of the law.
Jones died from bullet wounds received
in a desperate attempt to scape from
the officers who were transferring the
prisoners from the court house to the
jail last Tuesday, and Rutledge COM
mitted suicide today by jumping from
the gallery in the Jail to the stone
court, thirty. feet below.
The first tragedy which startled the
citizens of this city was the daring at
tempt made by the three prisoners to
escape from the constables on Tuesday.
While the Garage containing Rice,
Jones and Rutledge and two c~OnStableS
was proceeding from the court house
tt the Jail an accomplice threw three
revolvers through the cab window. The
desperadoes evidently were expecting
outside help for they acted promptly.
Securing possession of the revolverS
the three men opened fire upon the con-
stables. County Constable Boyd was
shot and killed. The officers ~returned
the fire and Jones was wounded in the
groin and arm. He died at the hos
pital. A street car conductor whose
car the burglars attempted TO board
struck Rutledge over the hea with a
piece of iron, knocking him SenseleSS.
Rice surrendered.
Today Rice and Rutledge were SEN
fenced to twenty-one years imprison-
ment in Kingston ~penitentiary.
Rutledge was being taken with an
other prisoner in charge of n of the
Jail guards to dinner about 3 O'Clock.
Suddenly he made dash spring1ng up
the stairway mounted to the gallery
running around inside of the jail, thirty
feet from the loo Climbing over the
railing Rutledge jumped. He fell head
foremost on the stone floor fracturlng
his skull. He was Immediately k
to the hospital where he died without
r%egaining consciousness.

THE CABINET DISCUSSES THE AFFAIRS
OF THESE ISLANDS
THAT THE CUBANS WILL SUBMIT
After Soreness Over Rejection of Their
Proposed Constitution Wears Or Ia
the Belief of the nf-
Misunderstanding Status to Cont,nua.
Programme for Civil
the Philippines Being Arranoed I'm
der Alleged Ample Powers ot tba
President.

washington. June 1.-The cabinet
was in session over two hours TODAY
discussing the Cuban and Philippine
situations. A communication has been
received from Governor General Wood
regarding h prospect for the uncon-
ditional acceptance of the Plat amend
ment. but its contents are not made
public. 1t can be stated, however, that
there is a hopeful feeling in admins
tration circles that after the first sore
ness wears off the convention will see
the wisdom of adopting the terms Of
the amendment. The answer to Gener-
al Wood Is to be sent and the language
Of that communication was under dis
cussion today. Meantime the existing
status in Cuba is to b. maintained. No
action looking to the calling of another
convention is in contemplation if the
present convention should decline to
accede to our terms.
While no new proposition have vet
been submitted, it is probable that the
convention Will not accept the PIatt
outright until another pro-
position has been made TO this govern
ment. The administration is fully de-
termined that the Cubans must accept
the Platt amendment without qualif-
cation before there can be any change
in the status OF Cuba.
The programme looking tt the estab-
lishment of civil government in the
Philippines is being formulated in the
shape of an order which is to be pro-
mulgated shortly. 1t is said that there
is no definite conclusion as to whether
the powers OF the civil administration
will be exercised under the general war
powers of the president or the author
ity vested in him by the Spooner
amendment. That. however, is consid-
cred a matter of detail. The main
point is that the civil. administration
which will be confined largely to the
municipalities. will be vested in the
head of Lhe Taft commission and such
other officials as may be designated,
and that they will exercise their func-
lions subject to the authority of the
secretary of war to whom all reports
will be made.
Civil administration under military
supervision, such as is contemplated,
is said not to be anomalous, and the
civil government in New Mexico and
the southern states during the early
stages of the reconstruction period are
pointed to as being substantially analo-
gous to what IS proposed in the Phil
inninnS

SENATOR PLATT'S LETTER.
To Secretary Root Made Public by the
Cuban Convention.

Washington, June 7.-During the con-
ference between Secretary Root and the
Cuban commission the secretary wrote
a letter to Senator Plat, of Connect
cut, who introduced the Plat amend
ment, asking for his views relative to
intervention as mentioned in the third
clause of the amendment. Senator
Plat replied and his letter was fur
nished the commission confidentially
by the secretary of war and was in
c~orporated into and made a part of the
acceptance of the Plat amendment by
the constitutional convention.
The letter, however, appeared in a
Havana paper and today was made
public by the war department. It's text
follows:
Il am in receipt of your letter of this
date, in which you say that the men,
bers of the commission of the Cuban
constitutional convention feared that
the provisions relative to intervention
made in the third clause of the amend
ment which ha come to bear my name
Ia hav the effect n in reality eS-
tablish a protectorate or suzerainty by
the United States, n o request that
/ express my views of the question rails
ed.
In reply l beg to state that the
amendment was carefully prepared
with the object of avoiding any posi-
BILE idea that, by the acceptance there
of, the constitutional convention would
thereby establish a protectorate or
Suzerainty. or in any manner whatSo-
EVER compromise the independence or
sovereignty of Cuba; and, speaking for
myself, it seems impossible that such
an Interpretation "a be given to the
clause. 1 believe that the amendment
should be considered as a whole and it
ought to be clear on reading it that it's
--@II G~@ o~I
safeguard Cuban independence, and
set forth at once a clear idea of the
friendly disposition of the United States
toward the Cuban people, and the ex-
press intention On their part TO aid
them, if necessary in the maintenance
of said independence. These are my
ideas, and although as o say, 1 can
not speak for the entire congress, my
belief is that such purpose was we'll
understood by that body"

and continuing:
We have carefully considered the

Taking Evidence In the Case
Against Stewart Brothers-Enforcing
the Insurance Law-Pardoned by the
Governor-Tbe Wiley Presentation
Messenger Buerau.


Raleigh, n. c., June Z.
Insurance Commissioner Young says
he has succeeded in enforcing the law
so strictly that no unlicensed compa-
mics are operating in the state save two
negro companies, one at Durham and
one at Charlotte, n he is after them.
In the senate chamber the taking of
evidence in an old and tiresome law
suit has begun, before Referee S. z.
M~ordecai. 1t is the case in which the
state sues Stewart Bros, of Winston
for something like $4,000. Stewart
Bros. were the public printers under
the first fusion regime in 1856, and the
state claims they were overpaid some
10000. In 1897 Treasurer Worth sued
them On their part there is a counter
suit, they claiming money due them.
There was considerable feeling between
the Stewards and Treasurer Worth.
One of the chief witnesses is assistant
labor commissioner Faison.
The official report on Major w. II.
Martins defalcation in the state treas
ury has never yet been made. No rea-
son for the delay is given.
Governor Aycock pardonS Quincy D.
Freeze, of Iredell county, convicted Of
larceny and sentenced to a year on the
public road The pardon is granted at
the request of Lieutenant Governor
Turner n other prominent citizens.
While Governor Aycock was in New
York application for the pardon was
mad to Lieutenant Governor Turner,
then acting governor, but he declined
to act and referred the matter to Gov
ernor Aycock.
In the case in the federal court here
in which a Mr.. L~unsford, of Person
county, was charged with embeZZle-
ment of letters Judge Purnell ordered a
verdict of not guilty. The case did not
go to the jury. Lunsford went to a
postoffice and took there from furniture
which was his private property.
Considerable rain fell today. 1t was
not needed. The rain of yesterday was
sufficient to prevent any parching Of
the land.
The Raleigh base ball club has had
extraordinary good luck. Though there
has been a great deal of rain it has not
had to issue rain checks for a single
game.
