NO TIME TO WASTE
Cuba Will Be Given to Understand
That DELAYS Are Offensive. = .

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-Before Secretary
Root left for New York to-day he had a
long conference on the subject of Cuba
with Secretary Hay. Beyond the general
statement that the conference related to
Cuban reciprocity and the other matters
included in the Plat amendment, it was
impossible to extract any information as
to what took place. It is known that no
conclusive step has been taken within
the last few days. 1t is gathered now
that the presence Of General Bliss, who
Is going to Havana to assist the state de-
partment in preparing the treaty. was
suggested by President Palma, and that
it also is acceptable to Minister Squiers.
The negotiations for reciprocity treaty
having been removed from Washington
and Havana, and being technically now
in the hands of Minister Squiers, so far
as the United States is concerned he is
in need of assistance when treating such
complex matters tariff schedules.
Reports from Cuba are to the effect that
the Cubans are divided upon the question
Of reciprocity, especially as regards the
concessions demanded and offered. The
Cuban senate Is reported to be favorable
to the treaty as offered with a few minor
changes, and there is no doubt expressed
| that the senate will accept the treaty
when it Is amended by General Bliss.
| There is trouble in the Cuban house.
which seems to be inclined to act indie

| General Bliss will present definite prop

state the extreme concession. which the
United States will grant, which is 20 per

give the Cubans the lowest possible rates
Of concessions which this country will de-
mand Of Cuba. It is expected that Gen
eral Bliss will endeavor to close up the
negotiations speedily and that after his
propositions are made but a very short
time will be allowed the Cubans to reply
before the negotiations will terminate

there has been too much procrastination

DENYER'S WHOLE
CITY COUNCIL
Judge Mullins Says He Is Going to
Throw Them All Into

They Violated an Injunction on
What Looks Like a Doodle
Ordinance. ,s','. :. = =.

Neto York San, Special Servsos


Denver, COL, Nov. 15.-The entire city
council will be arrested and thrown into
Jail, according to Judge Mullins, whose
injunction the members of the municipal
body seemed to think they were f1nan-
cially able to ignore last night.
A similar order served on the county
commissioners was obeyed, or like fate
would have befallen that board.
The Denver Tramway company had de-
manded a twenty-year franchise with a
concealed clause that enabled it to abol-
ish transfers and extend the franchise of
the parent company, with exclusive rights
for an Indefinite period. The trick was
discovered by the attorneys Of the Num-
icipal league and an injunction was OBJ
tanned last evening.
After the reading of the injunction the
aldermen, by vote of II to 1, passed the
ordinance just the same.
The commissioners of Arapahoe county,
who go out of office on the first Of the
year; had arranged to rebate nearly $780,
900 In taxes to- railroad corporations and
tit is claimed had boosted that they would
get even with the people for turning them
down. The injunction seems to have
frightened them for the present at least.

soldiers, who scattered the fighters,
many of them going abroad. Eight of
the headmen of the villages were put
to death, five by crucifixion and three
by torture.
In connection with these clan fights
comes up the question Of smuggling
arms. The majority of the weapons
used by the fighters are the two-men
muzzle leaders, one man acting as q
rest and the other firing the piece, the
damage in lives lost being compare
lively small. Recently, however,
many arms have been smuggled into
the prefecture from Canton and from
Hong Kong. Those from Canton come
overland into the Hak -ka country and
into the Kieh Yeng district of the
prefecture. The majority, which
come from Hong Kong, are brought up
in small junks, whose sizes enables
them the more easily to escape detec-
tion, and are sold to the elders of the
villages and clans for from 81 to $40
apiece. The elders in turn sell them
to the clan for from 81 to $6 advance.
The introduction of these weapons
has increased the death rate in the
clan fights to an alarming extent, the
death rate in the Jao Peng fight
having been increased to all average
Of eight a day, and in the Cho Yang
fight to ten and twelve day. 1t is in
these two districts that most Of the
arms are landed.
These clan fights are serious detri-
ment to the commercial relations,
nor can there be said to be any social
conditions which will improve them.

certain village. From this started a
fight involving hundreds of men. In
Jao Peng, the Ur-Chang fight was
brought about by two men of the
Chang clan, who had been out to
catch frogs, passing naked, at night,
through the village of one of the
branches of the Ur-clan. This
brought on fight where one clan
numbered about 20, 900 and the other
about $1,000. Another fight, in which
the amount Of damage done was over
$40. 900, started in row over cash
20. OO2S cent? in a gambling house.
Many years ago these fights became
of such alarming proportions that Ad-
miral Fang was sent to this region
with soldiers to end them. Being a
man of great ability, he made forced
marches by night, appeared when the
people least expected him. burned
villages ard tortured to death men
without number. In very short
time he had put all end to the fight
ing. AS long as he lived, and for
several years after his death, the
people kept the peace, such was the
terror of his name. Of late, how
ever, these fights have been increas-
ing to such an extent, and have so
interfered with business, that the
foreign merchants and the members Of
the shipping firms in Swatow have
sent memorial to the doyen of the
consular corps in Swatow that he re-
quest the viceroy to put all end to the
fighting In many cases the local
magistrates are helpless or are ham
pered with other duties. For ex-
ample, with fights raging in all parts
of the prefecture, the military exam
nations, at which the presence Of the
district magistrates is compulsory, are
now being held and have been for
over month.
The usual method of stopping these
fights is for the magistrate to send
out two or three constables to inquire
into the matter and report OH the
state of affairs. Then, if the fighting
be serious, few tens of soldiers are
sent there, who in no way interfere
with the fighters, but quarter them
selves on the villagers until, tired
Of their presence, the fighters stop.
A board Of arbitration is then ap-
pointed by the magistrate, which
estimates the number of men killed
on each side and the amount Of prop
erty destroyed. Both sides then pay
a certain amount in proportion to
the damage done. Sometimes the
magistrate comes in person, but even
his presence does not have the desired
effect. In 1891, at Chai Van, in the
