be in the field today. The order call
ing out the guard is as follows:
Headquarters National Guc I'd, Ad
jutant Generals Office. Hal lsburg,
Pa, October 6: In certain portions Of
the counties Of Luzerne, Schuykill,
Carbon, Lackawanna, Susquehana,
Northumberland and Columbia tumults
and riots frequently occur and mob
law reigns, men who desire to work
have been beaten and driven away and
their families threatened. Railroad
trains have been delayed, stoned and
the tracks torn up. The civil author.
tiles are unable to maintain order and
have called upon the governor and the
commander-in-chief of the National
Guard for troops. The situation grows
more serious every day. The territory
involved is SO extensive that the
troops now on duty are insufficient to
prevent all disorder.
1.-THE presence of the entire divisions
of the National Guard of Pennsylvania
is necessary in these counties to main
tain the public peace.
The major general commanding
will place the entire division on duty.
distributing them in such localities as
will render them most effective for
preserving the public peace.
''As tumults, riots, mobs and dis
order usually occur when men attempt
to work in and about the coal .lines
he will see that all men who desire
to work and their families have ample
military protection. He will protect
all trains and other property from un-
lawful interference and will arrest per-
sons engaged in acts of violence and
intimidation and hold them under
guard until their release will not ell
danger the public peace; will see that
threats, intimidations. assaults and all
acts of violence cease at once. The
public peace and good order will be
preserved upon all occasions and
throughout the several counties and no
interference what ever will be per-
mitted with officers and men in the
discharge of their duties under this
order. The dignity ard authority OF
the state must be maintained and her
power to suppress all lawlessness
within her borders be asserted.

MUCH CONCERNED
OVER THE CUbANS
Washington Officials Fear the
Island Is Drifting
From Us.
PEOPLE SEEM INDIFFERENT
Cuban Government seems Inclined Not
to Adhere to tho Treaty Under the
Plat Amsndment--Delay All ON the
side of Cuba. g

Washington, Oct. 1O-The situation
as to Cuba is such at present as to
give officials here great concern. 1t
is feared that Cuba is drifting away
and evidence Is multiplying day by
day to mark the growth of spirit of
Indifference toward the cultivation Of
friendly commercial relations with the
United States that almost borders on
hostility.
The best efforts of the state depart.
ment thus far have failed to secure
the adhesion of the Cuban government
to the treaty which, by the terms CT
the Plat amendment, must be enter.
ed into between the two governments.
This delay is all on one side, namely,
at Havana, for Secretary Hay and the
Cuban minister, Senior Quesada. have
performed their part in drafting a
treaty which it is believed carries out
the intent of congress.
That treaty is now awaiting the ap-
prevail OF the Cuban government,
which approval is withheld, not with
any expressed intention of rejecting
the convention, but through what is
regarded here as the natural inertia
of the Cubans in diplomatic matters.
This treaty includes provisions for
a considerable measure of reciprocity
between the United States and Cuba,
and while it is true that the Cubans
believe that the United States has been
rather niggardly in the arrangements
of the reciprocity schedules those OBJ.
jections are not regarded as sufficient
to account for the great delay in con-
Guiding the treaty. However, there is
no intention, it is said, to resort to
any undue pressure on the Cubans, so
long as there is no discrimination
against the United States and in favor
of another country. 1t is believed that
as Cuba is the principal sufferer from
the lack of treaty relations with the
United States. internal pressure soon
will force action on the pending con-
vention.

INSURANCE S VERY RISKY
when Placed With Companies Which
Have Not Compiled With the State
Law-Ruling ny Auditor Merriam Says
1Asy Have No Standing In Law.

Des Moines, Oct. auditor of
State Merriam ruled yesterday that
q person who accepts insurance from
companies unauthorized to transact
business in the state can have no
standing in the courts of Iowa in case
OF loss.
The ruling was given in the case OF
Hartman & Daniels OF Clinton against
the Northwestern Fire Insurance com.
pany and the Great Britain Fire Insur.
ance corporation. limited. No. 1S9 La
Sale street, Chicago, Is the location
of the United States office of both
companies. Hartman & Daniels of
Clinton suffered loss after taking
policies with them and then sought to
collect The attorneys of the insured
desired the auditor to accept service
on behalf of both companies, as provid'
ed in section 1928 of the code.
Tie auditor answered that neither
insurance company had complied with
the Iowa laws and neither was author.
lied to transact business and that
there was no record either plaintiff or
defendant had complied with section
1853 of the code, which provides that
no action shall be maintained in any
court in the state upon any policy or
contract of fire insurance issued by an
unauthorized company unless it is
shown that insurer or insured, in six
months after the policy has been
taken out, has paid to the treasury of
the state 21a per cent of the gross
premiums paid, or agreed to be paid,
for such policy or contract of insur-
ance.
The attorneys for Hartman & Dan
iels. in asking the auditor to accept
service of notices and forward them
to the companies, cited the decision of
the supreme court in the case of
Sparks vs.. the National Masonic Ae-
cident association. as found in 100
Iowa, page 458. 1t is there held tina:

In this state is estopped from deny
ing the operation of it's laws upon it
and that service on the insurance COM
pany has not complied with the state
laws.
Mr.. Merriam took the ground this
decision was not in point as it was
rendered before section 1853 above
mentioned was enacted. Finally, the
attorneys for the Clinton firm offered
to pay the tax due the state and on its
payment the auditor has informed
them he will accept service. The
amount of the tax is small, being ST..
The disregard of the statute, not the
amount at stake. prompted Auditor
Merriam to take the position he did.

CONSUL BRAGG TRANSFERRED.
State Department Send Him to Hong
Kong Because Of Letter.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Edward S.
Bragg, consul general at Havana, has
been transferred to the post of Uni
ted States consul general at Hong
Kong, taking the place of William A.
Rublee, transferred to the consulate
at Havana.
The change in the Havana consulate
general has been in contemplation for
almost three months. 1t was fully de-
cided that it was necessary to make
the change and the only question was
where General Bragg could be placed
without substantial loss to himself,
for it is difficult to find in the consulate
service a position paying as well as
his. w.
The Official salary of the place is
$4,000 per annum, but there are fees
attached much of which go to the
consul general. which swell the total
compensation to about $1,000 per year.
Although it is realized that General
Bragg has been guilty of lack Of
judgment, at least in allowing to
escape from him a rather contemptu-
GUS criticism of the Cuban people, but
in view of the fact that he was not d.
richly responsible for its publication
the president decided to look lenient-
ly on his case. Early in July General
Bragg wrote letter to his wife at her
home in this country, in which he
used this language
Uncle Sam might as we'll try to
make a whistle out of a pigs tail as
to try to make something out Of the
Latin race"
The letter was published on July IA.
BY direction of the state department,
Mr.. Squiers called on General Bragg
for an explanation. He at once admit:
ted the accuracy of the quotation, but
held that he had right to write what
he pleased in purely personal letter
to his own family. But. without dis
cussing this question with the general,
the state department decided that a
change must be made, and set about
to find another place for General
Bragg. About two weeks ago this was
found through the willingness Of Unit
ed States Consul General VIM. A.
Rublee at Hong Kong, China, to ex-
change his post for that at Havana.
Mr.. Rublee's post at Hong Kong is
salaried at $4,000 per annum, and as
his notarial fees, to all of which he is
entitled, amounted last year to $1,O47.
General Bragg probably will not lose
very much by the change.
