ANTI: SHARK SYNDICATE
How a Bright American Proposes
s,.= to Bankrupt the Havana
> Treasury. ~
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Havana, April 17.-All Havana is talk
ing Of the novel get-rich-quick scheme
inaugurated by John G. Neumeister of
Chicago, a fnancier and cheese manufac-
turer, who spent eight weeks in Cuba in.
vestigating the islands opportunity. If
developed to its fullest extent, it would
either bankrupt the city or force the mu
nicipal council to repeal what is consid
cred one Of the most beneficial ordinances
ever adopted. The ordinance was only
recently passed. It provides for the pay
ment Of bounties for the Staying Of sharks.
For every female shark killed in Havana
waters So is to be paid; for every male. 81.
Mr.. Neumeister was here when the or
dinance was first published. He began
imm mediately to work the wires between
Havana and Chicago. He saw boundless
possibilities in the shark-killing business.
He interested Chicago friends and in less
than week the Havana-American Shark
syndicate (unlimited) was prepared to be-
gin. operations. The Chicago capitalist
confided his plans to a few Havana ac-
quaintances, who told the story. A large
quantity of peculiarly high explosive
was ordered shipped to Havana at once.
At the same time fifty men were put to
work capturing and coraling all the stray
dogs to be found in the city and country
adjacent. These men were given author
ity to buy dogs if they could not obtain
them otherwise. - -
| A small farm was rented near the city
for the accommodation OF the CANNES.
Dog meat is a great delicacy for sharks
and will attract them from great distances.
The Chicago mans scheme is to drop dead
| dogs into the harbor with a quantity of
explosive and an electrical apparatus at
tached to them. When the sharks gather
| for the feast a man in a boat will press
a button and the exploding cartridge will
| do the rest.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, April IL
Wheat traders came on change this morning IN
an anxious state Of mind, with their opinions
less decided than ever It was conceded by all
that the closing Of the Minneapolis -four mills
was an exceedingly bearish feature. Circum
stances Of the past recalled and instances
cited Of severe declines in wheat following the
closing Of part of the milling capacity. Here
was not only part of the capacity, but the
entire group Of mills closed and this at a time
when there were many other bearish factors IL
the view, and when the market was top of
long sustained advance and likely to fall bacl
anyway on natural reaction. Nervousness wa'
the rule, and it is no bad guess to say that 81
per cent Of the crowd expected break in wheat
On the curb before the opening there wer'
symptoms of weakness, but the market opened
surprisingly firm and help up we'll. 1T was evi
dent there was good support under the market.
