GENERAL WOODS PLANS.
Will Remain in Washington Several
Months.

Secretary Root stated today that Cen
eral Wood was coming direct to Washing
ton, and will be occupied probably two or
three months in closing up the affairs of
mis- administration as military governor of
Cuba. General Wood and his staff will
be given suitable quarters in the War De-
partment Their principal business will
be the final settlement of the accounts of
the military government of Cuba.
BY direction of the Secretary of War the
vouchers and accounts of the Office of
auditor and elsewhere in Cuba relating to
the receipt and disbursement of moneys
during the government of occupatiorE will
be kept in Havana for the present for the
Information and convenience of the Cuban
officials.
The house formerly occupied by Commits
sioner Quesada has been leased for that
purpose and detail of four clerks from
headquarters Of the department of Cuba
has been placed in charge of the records.
under the direction of Mr.. Steinhart chief
clerk. Mr.. Steinhart has been instructed to
extend every courtesy and facility to the
Cuban authorities for the examination of
these official records.
1t is recognized that access to them Will
be important to the officers of the new
government in the conduct Of their business
until they have got fairly established and
the financial accounts Of the two govern
ments are closed. When these vouchers
and accounts are no longer needed at the
Cuban capital they will be brought TO
Washington and form part of the archives
Of the government.
The War Department was informed of
Gen. Woods arrival at Jacksonville this
morning on the U: S. s. Brooklyn. The
military transport Kanawha was awaiting
him in that vicinity and will bring him at
once to this city by way of Chesapeake bay
and the Potomac river. 1t was found more
expedient to use the Kanawha for the trip
from Florida than to use the Brooklyn,
which was simply employed to give honor
and distinction to the formal departure of
Gen. Wood from the scene Of his important
duties for the past few years.
Secretary Roots statement that General
Wood will remain on duty in Washington
for several months effectually disposes of
all conflicting reports as to his assignment
In the immediate future. On the compile
ton Of his Cuban duties General Wood will
be given leave of absence and will Join his
family In Europe He will also serve as
one of the representatives Of the United
States army at the maneuvers of the Ger
man army in the fall

Giganti snatched a revolver from a guard

former guard at the workhouse, but who
at the time had charge Of some contract
work in the shop. Guard Homer Stone
promptly came to the rescue and shots
were exchanged between him and Giganti.
Stone received a wound in the arm and
another in the body near the heart, and is
probably fatally injured. Giganti's wounds
are pronounced very dangerous
In the midst Of the shooting an attempt
was made by other prisoners to escape from
the WORKSHOP but the guards managed to
hold them, by the aid of some TRUSTEES. A
call was sent to the Canton police depart
ment, and all the officers available were
hurried to the scene, but when they ar
rived the prisoners had been subdued.

COLLECTOR BONNELL'S CASE.
Acquitted by Civil Service Commission
of Charge of Political Coercion

The civil service commission has approved
the report Of Commissioner Foulke on the
charges filed against Collector Of Internal
Revenue Bonnell Of Terre Haute, Ind. The
report acquits him Of the charge of no.
litical coercion or use Of his office to con-
troll an election. which charge, the COM
mission says, is unwarranted by the testt-
mony.
The commission, however, sustains the
charge Of discrimination against the demo-
cratic employees Of his Office, but says that
1t Is clear that the collector believed he
had the legal power to do as he did. I'm
der the circumstances the commission
says it would be- unjust to recommend his
removal from Office. No further action
further political discrimination Is made.

Judge Scott Of the Police Court today
overruled the motion made by Attorney
George G. Hazleton Monday last that the

House restaurants in tho Capitol building.
who are charged with conducting unlicen-
sed bars in the restaurants be quashed. An
exception was noted, and 1t Is said that the
defendants intend to carry the matter to
the Court of Appeals II the case which is
set for trial Monday next Is decided against
them. 80
Attorney Hazleton in supporting the mo-
ton argued that as the congressional COM
mittee having the restaurants in charge
had permitted Messrs. Page and Coffin to
dispense liquors in the restaurants they re-
quired no additional license. Congress has
by no act, Mr.. Hazleton said, turned over
to the Commissioners Of the District Of Co.
lumbia, or any one else, control over what
shall or shall not be done within the Capt.
toll building, and the local authorities there-
fore have no jurisdiction over the matter.
