CAB DRIVERS STRIKE BACK.
Defend Their Alleged Right to Stand
in Front Of Hotels.

Another chapter has been added to the
controversy between the public cab drivers
of the city and the hotel proprietors, now
before the District Commissioners for adj
justment. Mr.. D. w. Baker, attorney for
the cab drivers, has filed with the Commits
sioners a reply to the brief submitted by
Mr.. Henry E. Davis, who was retained as
counsel by the hotel people.
The question involved Is IS to the right of
the hotel people to allow livery stable car
riages to stand in front Of the hostelries for
the transient traffic Of the guests therein.
The cab drivers maintain that they should
be allowed to stand in front of these hotels
IL the livery carriages are allowed there
In his reply, Mr.. Baker declares that Mr.
Davis whole plea is one of expediency
rather than legality. He says the question
before the Commissioners is whether or not
they shall permit livery stables to do a pub
lie business and occupy space adjacent to
these hotels, which space is the public high
way and cannot be occupied by the cab
men who pay the usual license for doing
public business.
The Commissioners have referred the case
to the corporation counsel and are await
ing his opinion before taking final action.

Unfounded Rumors Regarding General
Woods Commission.

Statement was made at the War Depart
ment today that General Wood is not to be-
come governor of the Philippines as a sue
cessor of Governor Taft even should the
Illness of the latter cause his resignation.
Such contingency is not expected accord
ing to the information from the Philippines
at the department The official statement
is made today on account Of several rumors
that have been af1oat regarding the govern
ment of the Philippines and General Woods
commission. General Wood will not inter-
fere with the conditions in the Moro coun-
try as they relate to the religious practices
of those people. in the matter of slavery
and polygamy. It has been determined to
treat the Moros upon plans similar to those
adopted for the government Of the Ameri-
can Indians. Guided by the reports from
American officers, which are similar to
those of Captain Pershing. the department
is convinced that this is not the time to
attempt innovations among the Moros, but
that when the United States authority is
fully established the gradual extinction Of
slavery and the suppression Of poiygamy
may be attempted.

AMERICAS BOND REFUSED.
Bankers Commission at Shanghai OBJ
ject to Silver Payments.

A dispatch from Shanghai yesterday says:
The bankers commission met today and
declined to forward the American silver in
demnity bond for signature by the Chinese
representatives, the ground that the
terms of the bond were inconsistent with
the commissions previous declarations re-
garding the indemnity. The American
delegate insisted that article VI of the
Pekin protocol clearly states it to be the
duty Of the commission to effect all opera
lions in conformity with the instructions
sent by the powers to their delegates, and
he announced his intention of forwarding
the bond direct to the Chinese representa-
tives for signature.
All the viceroys and governors in China
have now united in protest against the
payment of the indemnity in gold. They
declare that the sources of taxation are ex-
hausted and that further eXtortion would
impoverish the people, tend to excite revolt
and hamper foreign trade.
