the Senate.

the Senate.
Des Moines, Feb. 15.-Senator Ire.
win sprang a surprise and something
of a sensation in the legislature yea
terday by the introduction of col-
current resolution aimed at several
of the state departments which have
been lax in complying with the sta
tute which requires them to make BIZ
ennially to the state executive counY
ell an itemized statment. verified by
oath of all salaries and expenses paid
by such departments together with an
account of all supplies and paper
drawn and printing and binding done.
The Trewin resolution provides that
the standing committees on retrench-
ment and reform in the legislature
shall inquire into the cause of such
neglect and report such proposed leg
islation as may be deemed necessary
to secure the enforcement of the law.
The resolution went over under the
rules, but leading members of the up
per body stated that there was no
question but that 1t would be adopted.
The committee on retrenchment ana
reform referred to in the resolution
is composed of the chairmen of the
ways and means, judiciary and APP
preparations committees of both
houses. This committee Is the one
which reported the law requiring the
above mentioned reports to be made,
when it was placed on the statute
books of the state two years ago.
Before that time a provision for
such reports had been made by the
previous general assembly, but it was
found that the provisions were not
specific enough and the law was
evaded. Two years ago what was
deemed a sweeping statute covering
the subject was passed. with the idea
that there would be no future trouble
in securing the desired reports.

AMERICA is ARRAIGNED
CALLED TO ACCOUNT FOR GROSS
NEGLECT OF CUBA.
Gen. James II. Wilson Says Absolute.
ly Nothing Has Been Done to Re-
pair the Ravages of War.


Chicago. Feb. 14-"Since our oc-
cupation of Cuba we have not done
one thing to repair the ravages of
war. We have re-established no fam
lilies in their homesteads nor attempt.
ed to restock barren farms and plant
atoms. We have not taken a single
step to extend the commerce of the
country SO as to enable the island to
recover from the devastation of re-
cent war;"
In these words General James H.
Wilson, late governor of Matanzas and
recent appointee as delegate to King
Edwards coronation to represent the
United States army, charges neglect
Of Cuba in speech delivered at the
Union League club.
General Wilson made frequent refer
ences to what he called tie unfair
treatment the islands had received at
the hands of the administration. The
speaker made 1t plain that an inter-
probation of broken faith might be
placed upon our conduct by the
Cubans themselves.
I'VE pledged ourselves at the be-
ginning of the war;" said the speaker.
against any sovereignty over the Is
land and promised to withdraw our
army as soon as peace was restored.
In spite of this pledge we have ex-
ercised every conceivable attribute OF
sovereignty over Cuba. We have alb.
solutely controlled the domestic affairs
of the people and. although perfect
order has existed for two years. our
army is still in possession of the
country"
The remedy proposed by General
Wilson is immediate reciprocity with
Cuba. Annexation, he maintained, Is
sure to come, but to meet the emer.
gency he proposed removing the duty
on Cuban importations and at the
same time surrounding the island with
our protective tariff on foreign i'm
portations. Inis policy, General viii
son asserted would act as a stimulus
to Cuban commerce that would re
store the ante-bellur prosperity of
the country. By quotation from
statistics he attempted to show that
sue free trade would have an injur-
ious effect on practically none of our
own industries. The effect upon the
tobacco industry. he asserted. would
not be felt and the sugar industry
would not suffer to any great extent.
