WOOD ISSUES A Vital ORDER.

HAVANA, May 17.-Governor General
Wood today issued an important order max
ing all orders operative only during mill
ing the subsequent effectiveness Of which a
question had arisen. binding upon the new
Cuban government until they shall be re-
voked. This action places these orders
upon the same footing as the general orders
tho Cuban government accepted by the
adoption of the Plat amendment.
More important still, an order has been
issued placing In force all the immigra-
tion, exclusion and contract labor laws of
the United States. These laws have been
practically in force General Wood says
since the American occupation began. BY
this order these laws are not only incorpo-
rated in the laws of the island, placing
responsibility for their observance on the
new government, but clear sailing is left
for the negotiation Of a reciprocity treaty.

WILL NOT GO BACK TO QUEBEC
GaynOr and Greene stay In Montreal
and Arrests Are Held TO
he Legal.

MONTREAL. Quebec, May 17.-Messrs.
Gaynor and Greene are guests at the
Windsor hotel. each guarded by a local
detective, with a force OF United States
secret service oficers unonicially in re-
serve. They will not go back to Quebec.
much as they and their friends desire Il,
and in spite Of the writ OF habeas corpus
granted yesterday by Judge Andrews OF
Quebec, directing Chief Detective Carpen-
ter to return his prisoners to that city.
When the tug Spray arrived in Montreal
this morning Chief Carpenter took his
prisoners to La Fontaine's residence and
an impromptu court was convened In the
judges library. Mr.. Carpenter handed his
prisoners over to the Judge, and the latter.
after remanding them for examination on
Monday, committed them to the care OF
two detectives with permission to reside
at the Windsor. In the meantime Con-
stable Gale Of Quebec, with the writ Of
habeas corpus, was searching diligently
for Mr.. Carpenter. At 10 o'clock he
found him In his ONCE and served the writ.
Mr.. Carpenter was placed In a dilemma.
He was in possession OF a document calling
upon him to produce the bodies of Gaynor
and Greene before Judge Andrews in Que
bee today, and be no longer had the pris-
oners In his possession, having been re-
lieved by Judge La Fontaine.
He consulted his counsel and was in
formed that II he attempted to return the
prisoners to Quebec he would be liable to
arrest for contempt Of the local court,
whose mandate he had received and ac-
knowledged. So an answer setting forth
the facts in the matter was prepared and
sent down to Quebec, and with that II is
expected the Quebec people will have to
remain satisfied.
The jurisdiction Of an extradition COM
missioner extends over the entire domin-
lon and the arrests OF Greene and Gaynor
were made by an oficer qualified to make
arrests in any portion OF the province, con-
s~equently there is no doubt that they will
hold.
