MEN ARE INDIGNANT
scoTcHMAN BRUTALLY TREATED
IN HOSPITAL AT SANTIAGO DE
cUBA-WAS PUT IN STRAIGHT
JAcKET-sEcoND CASE.

Santiago de Cuba, July 1.-THE Ameri-
can and British residents of this place
are indignant at the alleged brutal treat
ment at one of the hospitals here of a
Scotchman named William Housetown,
who died, as asserted, of alcoholism Sun
day morning. Housetown was a drygoods
clerk here, a man of good family, and
not a 'habitual drunkard. He is alleged TO
have drunk to excess during the recent
celebrations held here and last Sunday
became delirious. A friend took him to
the hospital and left him there. That
night Housetown became violent, he was
put into straight jacket, thrown into
a cell and left without attendance, and
the next morning he was dead. No treat
ment whatever was given him.
This is the second case of this nature
which has resulted in death within the
last month. The other case was that of
an American named Cooper, who was
taken to the hospital suffering from de-
lirium tremens. He was refused admis-
sion and taken to the jail, where he died
in few hours.
MIR. Mason, the British consul. is inves-
tigating both cases.

W.T.. THAXTON FOUND
DEAD IN HIS HOTEL
REGISTERED AT THE METRoPOLl-
TAN LAST FRIDAY AND WAS ILL
SUNDAY MoRNING-HE WAS
FOUND DEAD YESTERDAY.

w. t. Thaxton of Siluria, Ala, was
found dead in room 90 at the Metropolitan
Hotel yesterday afternoon about 1
O'clock 1t is probable no regular inquest
will be held over his remains as death
is attributed to natural causes.
Thaxton registered at the hotel last Fri
day Saturday J. NJ. Shoemaker, a friend
of Thaxton, made an effort to get him
into a hospital in the city, but it was full,
and they told him to return yesterday.
Shoemaker has not been seen since.
Thaxton was so i'll SL-day morning
that he was unable to get up. He asked
the chambermaid not to disturb him. He
evidently died a short time afterwards,
for there is every evidence he had been
dead many hours when found. The re-
mains were carried to Taylor & Co.'S un-
dertaking establishment, and the dead
mans family telegraphed of his DEATH

CASTRO LEADING
A FORLORN HOPE
Takes Personal Charge of The
Venezuelan Troops
DROPS EXECUTIVE RElNS
South American Diplomats In Wash
lngton Say the Situation Must Be
Very Acute for Castro to
Take Such a Step.

Washington, July THE State Depart
ment has receivd cablegram from Uni
ted States Minister Bowen at Caracas
stating that the Venezuelan government
had communicated the fact that President
Castro has decided to personally lead his
troops against the revolutionary forces
in the field and that vice-President Co
mez has assumed charge of the executive
branch of the government.
The news conveyed in Mr.. Dowen's dis
patch is regarded in different lights among
South American diplomats in Washington.
The prevailing view is that nothing more
than an acute situation would cause Pres
dent Castro to drop the reins of govern
ment at Caracas and take personal charge
of the Venezuelan army at Valencia, and
in those qurters 1t is firmly believed he is
succumb to the threatened heavy on
slaught of revolutionary forces.
In other quarters, however, confidence
is expressed that Castro will repel the
impending attack just as he has done
many others that have confronted him
in the past years of his administration
and further enhance his record as
fighter.
Valencia is a town second In import
ance only to Caracas and lies about 100
miles from the capital, almost directly
west. It is the base of military opera
tions. has a large population and in
many respects is the most important
town in the republic. 1t is regarded here
as the open sesame" to the capital it
self. and 1t is believed its capture would
herald the early capitulatior of the sea
government and the occupation of the
yellow house" at Caracas by the revoIu-
tionary leader.

Congress Has Already Turned
Him Down and May
Do So Again
is NOW SERIOUS QUESTION
Reports From oyster Bay Cause Conn
ment and indicate That Republic
cans Must Try to Satisfy
Popular Feeling.
BY wATTERsoN sTEALY.

Washington, July T. - Especially In
President Roosevelt's first message to
Congress he dwelt at considerable length
upon the question of trusts, recommend
ing that some legislation be enacted to
remedy evils of over-capitalization, etc.
He devoted much space to the subject
and gave 1t prominent place in his mes
sage. His Republican Congress, however,
not only did not enact legislation along
the lines of his recommendations, but in
at least one direct instance showed itself
conclusively on the side of the sugar trust
by sacrificing the CuijSn reciprocity bill
because it contained a clause eliminating
the gratuity enjoyed by this trust
through the Dingley tariff law The pro-
eeedings inaugurated by the Department
of Justice have also virtually proven bar
rem of result, or at least years of litiga-
ton are ahead before a successful con-
clusion can be reached.
Will Never Pass.
Regardless of the record of his party
upon this subject, it is now announced
from Oyster Bay that the Presidents
Pittsburg dispatch may be taken to
mean that the next session will be asked
to legislate against the trusts, and the
President will not content himself with
"a bare recomme ndation. but will push
it vigorously" He, according to the re-
port, has even gone so far as to instruct
Representative Littlefield of Maine to
look over the ground and prepare the bill.
Representative Littlefiled will be able to
report the progress of his investigation.
before Congress meets, or perhaps before
the Congressional elections, which will
even be better. Trusts, the managers of
the Republican party realize, is becoming
a serious question and means must be
found to satisfy popular feeling, and at
the same time not injure the trusts. Lit
tlefeld's bill will seek to do this
VIII Push 1t Vigorously.
If the bill is a sincere step in the right
direction it will never pass, and no one
knows this better than the President.
unless he has already forgotten the les
son of the session just closed. 1t is also
reported from good authority that Rep
resentative Babcock of Wisconsin has
won the President over his way of
thinking on the tariff, and that the
executive will also make a fight for a
tariff reduction along Babcock lines. The
President will receive about the same
degree of support from a Republican
Congress on this proposition as he will
in fight against the trusts.
In order to see his proposed recommen-
dations enacted into law the President
will first have to elect Democratic Con-
gress for his reported intentions are de-
cidedly anti-Republican and cannot COM
mand the support of the Republicans in
Congress. A good deal will be heard dur
ing this summer about what President
Roosevelt Is going to do with Congress.
What Congress has done to the President,
however, is history What 1t will continue
to do upon questions effecting The pockets
of its campaign supporters is reasonably
certain
