Washington Authorities Wish to Beqin
Reciprocity Negotiations. =. =. r
Washington, July 24.-Eforts are
being constantly made by United
States authorities to hurry the Cubans
in the formation of their government
SO that reciprocity trade negotiations
may be begun. Already an expert is
at work preparing, a schedule of ex-
ports and imports between the United
States and Cuba. This work has pro-
crossed SO far that it is said to be
evident that a most advantageous
reciprocity treaty to both the United
States and Cuba can be made.
When the Cuban commissioners
were here President Mckinley urged
them to make all possible speed in
the formation of their government so
that he could appoint commissioners
to negotiate reciprocity treaty. The
fate: of the treaties that have been
negotiated under the Dingley act has
made many officials of the govern
ment somewhat skeptfcal as to rati-
fication of a Cuban treaty, but infor-
nation that is now being collected

sent most favorable outlook for
closer trade relations between the

GRAIN CROP is SAFE,
Prolonged Heat Does Little Damage in
the Northwest

the Northwest
st. Paul, July 24.-Reports of the
most encouraging nature have been
received from the crops all. over the
Northwest. Although the past week
has been the hottest in the history Of
the weather bureau of this section
small and large grain has suffered
very little, and in most cases it has
been benefited. Only on sandy SOIL
where the bottom is shallow, has there
been any material damage. And
from many sections the report comes
that not even on this kind of land has
the grain crop been injured. This is
most remarkable and portends general
prosperity for the farmers of the
Northwest this year. ..,s
Corn has not only not been dam
aged by the excessive heat, but it's
growth has been quickened and the
kernels enlarged. While the North
west is not the leading Corn section
of the country it is more than certain
now that large yield will be had,
and in view of the fact that in many
of the best corn producing states Of
the Union the crop is an utter failure
corn raisers in the Northwest will be
able to count on good prices for their
product. 49,.

the Mainland.
Hamilton, Bermuda, July 24.-The
Boer prisoners of war confined on OAR
rells island make almost nightly at
tempts to avoid the patrolling gum
boats Medina and Midway and gain
the mainland by swimming. The wa
ter between Darrells island and the
beach is calm and all night long the
gunboats sweep it with their search
lights Sharks abound and the Brit
ish guard will shoot on suspicion, yet
several of the Beers have escaped
from their detention camp.
On the night of July H. J. Du Toit,
NJ. 4. Louvens, J.+P. Deroux and J. G.
Du Preeze, Boer prisoners, evaded the
guards and the sharks and reached
the shore half a mile away by swim,
ming. By daybreak they had reached
the southern shore of the island. Here
they approached a colored man asking
him for food. He charged them with
being Boer prisoners and they admit
ted it. The colored man at once in
formed the guards at. Warwick camp
and the escaping prisoners were cap
tured. A night or two after three 9th
ers tried to escape by padding ashore
on planks. They were seen, however,
and fired on by the guards. One was
wounded and returned to the island,
While the other two were caught.

Topeka, Kan, July "a. -Four per-
sons believed to be members of the
notorious Bender. family accused Of
committing a score Of murders at
their home near Galena Kan, 80 years
ago, are believed to have been located
near Fort Collins, Colo, and Governor
Stanley has issued requisition papers
on the governor Of Colorado for their
return to this state. The first step
towards briging the suspects to Kan
sass were taken upon the representa-
lions OF Frank Ayres Of Fort Collins,
who asserts that one of the quartette,
Kate Bender, was once his wife.
The Benders lived onSa small farm
near Galena aid for years, as devel-
.oped after their flight, had lured tray
eelers to their place, murdered them
for their money and buried their bod
les in the yard around their home or
under their house. The house was
arranged with trapdoors. All four
members Of the family were accused
of aiding in the murders. An investi-
cation into the disappearance Of a
man who had stopped at the Benders
and whose bones were found beneath
the house led to their fight one night.
Heavy reward for their arrest was Of
=fered by the state, but they were
never found: The family consisted of
man, wife, daughter and one son. The
parents would now be in the 7O's and
the children about so ears, of age.

MAJOR ALESHIRE'S REPORT.
Is Saving $4,000 Day in the Philip.
ippine TRANSPORT Service.

Manila, July 24.-The reports sub
mitted to Adjutant General Corbin by
Major James B. Aleshire, in charge
of the water transportation depart
ment of the army at Manila, show the
saving of $4,000 daily for the last three
months. Since Major Aleshire took
charge of this department the num-
Der of vessels chartered by the gov
eminent as transports, etc., has been
reduced from ten to five and the light
ers and launches chartered by the
government have been reduced by
one-half. The concentration of the
American troops under three brigades
at Manila, Dagupan, Iloilo or Cebu
will further reduce the army's need
of launches. It isaexpected in view of
this economy to operate some trans
ports direct between Manila and New
York. Adjutant General Corbin rec
ommends the use of two of the fast
est transports in a monthly mail serv-
ice between San Francisco and Manila
to ensure quick handling of the mails.

Cavalry and Artillery to BE Retained
in the philippines.
Washing ton, July OfRcials OF
the war department were greatly in.
terested in the Associated Press cable
dispatches from Manila announcing a
determination to make reductions in
the expenses in the Phi ppines. This
is in accord with the instructions Of
Secretary Root, who has given verbal
orders to all bureau officers and all
who have the handling Of sdisburse-
ments that war department expenses
must be reduced to a peace footing.
1t has been suggested as a means Of
reducing expenses (and the suggestion
may be carried out) that large por-
ton of the food supplies now shipped
from the United States be raised in
the Philippines. It is believed that
vegetables for the men and grain and
hay for the animals can be raised
there. The quartermaster's depart
ment now sends $500 tons of oats and
5000 tons of hay to the Philippines
each month. The proposed reduction
of the force in the islands will not
make a corresponding reduction in
these supplies, as it is proposed to
keep cavalry and artillery there and
send home infantry regiments.

Pittsburg, July 24.-The combine
forces have decided to carry the strike
into the courts. It is learned that
Judge P. NJ Smith of Wellsville, O.,
has been retained by : Persifier F.
Smith, district manager Of the Ameri-
can Sheet Steel company, to prepare
papers for presentation within a few
days to a federal court asking for a
restraining order to stop strikers from
accosting or molesting in any way
non-unlon men on the highways. The
move promises a crisis in the strike,
thus far one of watchfulness and wait.
ing. Judge Smith spent the day here
with Manager Smith and the starting
or the Wellsville and McKeesport
plants were discussed in detail:
The application for an Injunction
may be made in the United States
district court and at first will apply
only to Wellsville, but it is believed
the plan is to pursue similar tactics
at Mckeesport and other places where
necessary.
According to strike leaders the Off
Gals of the Wellsville mill are appar-
emily seeking to bring on an open con-
f1ict in order to invoke the aid of the
sheriff's deputies, and, if possible, the
militia. Earnest and renewed warn
ings have been sent to the strikers to
remain cool and Keep within the law.
The reports from McKeesport are
OF quieting nature and no exciting
incidents are looked for at present at
that point. Much interest is center
ing in the situation at Monessen. It
is reported that IL men were dis
charged because of their too close
friendship with the Amalgamated peo-
pie. Among the many peculiar con-
ditions found at the Monessen mill is
the fact that the men are paid on a
tonnage basis and the company has
by contract with the men offered a
bonus On all tonnage over certain
limit, this bonus to be paid at the end
OF the year. Some of the workers
have as high as $500 thus far coming
to them and they realize that in case
OF strike they will lose all of this.
The effect of this is to hold all the
men in their places.

says: Rear Admiral VS.. Schley has
asked Secretary Long to appoint a
court of inquiry to determine the facts
in regard to his course in the Santiago
campaign. When pressed for a state.
ment as to his position he wrote the
following sentences: - .ss@.- s-zs-s
Il really think that as this matter
is liable to take the form of judicial
investigation 1 ought not to be sub
ject to interview. -. -,
Il think that action is preferable to
words and have decided to act. More
than this ought not to be expected
to say, but I WI add that it is a very
great pity that there should be any
controversy over matters where every.
body did his best
