PREPARE LONG TELEGRAM.
President and Secretary Root Send
Statement to Gen. WOOd-NOt
to BE Made Public

Washington, June 3. - Secretary
Root was with the president for about
an hour and half Saturday, discuss
ing with him the cablegram which has
been prepared to be sent to Gen. Wood,
at Havana, relating to the action of
this government on the Cuban consti-
tuition. This message is long and will
be forwarded to, Gen. Wood with the
idea of having him communicate it to
the constitutional convention. 1t will
not be made public at this time and
probably not until the convention
takes action. Secretary Root has re-
celved no official copy of the Cuban
constitution as adopted, the copy re-
ceived being furnished by Gen. Wood,
and consequently the action taken now
is considered of the same unofficial
character, but indicates the determina-
ton Of this government to reject the
constitution in its present form.
Havana, June 3.-All interest Satur-
day was centered on the municipal
election. The press has devoted little
space to Washington's decision to re-
Ject the action of the Cuban constitu-
tlonal convention on the Plat amend
ment. The merchants regret that agi-
tatlon must again disturb business.
They fear unsettled conditions more
than the actual rejection of the amend
ment.
Santiago de Cuba, June 3.-Al bust
ness is suspended on account of the
municipal elections. Gen. Whitside
Friday ordered American officers to
act in each precinct as board of SUI
pervisors of election, serving con-
t1nuously from six o'clock in the morn
ing until the vote is counted and veri.
fed. The republicans bitterly resent
this. They had openly asserted that
they would elect their candidates, re-
gardless of methods. The rural police
have superseded the city police at the
voting places, insuring absolute fair
ness.

There was an occurrence bordering

oils. The driver of scavenger wagon
rushed into the Second Precinct police
station and said that several horses
were stuck on the bridge and that no
amount of effort could get them across,
and the man thought some supernatu-
raj agency was the cause. The officers,
after investigation, concluded that in
some manner the bridge structure had
become charged with electricity. Every
time an effort was made to induce a
horse to move the animal was found
entirely unable to lift foot. After
considerable work the harness was cut
from the team attached to the scaven-
ger wagon and a rope attached to pull
the horses loose. Another horse at
tached to a single rig was treated IN
like manner, after which the bridge
was closed and an officer placed there
to prevent further happenings of the
kind. Later the officers cut the street
railway feed wire, and it was found
that no difficulty was experienced,
showing that The bridge in some way
had become charged with the electric

RUMOR OF ANOTHER DEFEAT.
British War Office Gives No Explicit
Denial to BOer Report of Severe
Fighting Near Pretoria.

London, June 3.-The reticence of
the government regarding the battle
of Vladfontein, and other military
events of some Importance which
have recently occurred at widely sep
arated points in South Africa, has led
to considerable anxiety. This is in
no way allayed by the curious an
swer of the war office Saturday to a
question regarding the accuracy or
otherwise of the recent Boer report
that the British were severely de-
feated near Pretoria, May 2, losing 46
killed, 80 wounded, 600 prisoners and
six guns. The reply which the war
Office vouchsafed: eve have no Off
cial information" has aroused some
misgivings.
London, June 3.-The Sun Saturday
published sensational story to the
effect that Gen. Botha has arrived at
Standerton, and is communicating by
telegraph with Mr.. Kruger, through
the Netherlands government, appeal
ing to Mr.. Kruger to sue for peace.
Lord Kitchener is said to have given
Botha permission to adopt this
course.
The Sun further hears that 10000
Zulus have gone on the war-path, ow-
ing to Boer raids in Zululand.

Cut the First Wheat.

1t seems incredible that the man who
Graded" the first crop of wheat sown
in Minnesota is still living, and hale
and hearty. 1t is fact, however, that
Hugh Hoy, now living in Minneapolis,
is the man who, with James Brophy,
cut the first wheat on Governor Ram
sey's farm just west of the site Of the
new capitol in st. Paul. This same
wheat was the first ever sown in Min
nesota, which, within the lifetime OF a
living man, has become one of the
greatest wheat producing territories
of the world. Governor Ramsey had
much trouble in finding someone to
garner his crop. Mr.. Hoy says it was
one of the finest bits of standing wheat
he has ever seen, coming up breast
high on the Graders, who at that time
used the regulation hand implement
for cutting the golden grain.

Money Secured.

Through the liberality of James j.
Hill, president of the Great Northern
road, M. G. Morton of Winona, and
other friends of the institution, the
Hamline university has secured $780,

cured through the instrumentality OF
President G.. II. Bridgeman. Some
time ago Mr.. Hill made pledge OF
$4,000 on condition that a certain
amount be raised as permanent en-
dowment for the university. Later he
promised to give one-half of that sum
for the purpose of securing 100000, q
part of the larger endowment. M. G..
Morton, whose full endowment is $780,
600, gives his half of that sum towards
the S1oo, 600 now secured.
