Affairs i'm Cuba.

Havana, July "A big sensation
was caused here today by the preferring
of charges of forgery and perjury against
Gen. Loyra Del Castillo, in connection
with the registry of a former Spanish
guerilla. Castillo is congressman for
Camaguey and the leading opponent to
the Palma administration. He was a
member of the military revision of the
Cuban army rolls under General Gomez s
craftsmanship. The forgery and perjury,
it is charged, were committed by him in
his capacity of member of the committee.
A motion was made in the House to-
day to waive the parliamentary immunity
to members Of the House, so as to per-
NIT of Castillo's arrest and trial. Gen
eral Gomez thinks the honor of the army
and prestige of the republic demands the
prosecution of Castillo to the limit of the
law. Castillo has long and honorable
record. He was at one time Mayor OF
the City of Puerto Principe and was a
colonel in the revolutionary ranks in the
war between Spain and Cuba under
Generals MasO acd MaceO.
The foreign committee of the Senate
which is considering the naval treaty
with the United States has precluded
the possibility of an immediate approval
of that treaty by deciding to wait the
report of the Cuban technical commits
sion on the matter. The commission is at
present at Guantanamo.

The Kaiser and the Socialists.

Berlin, July An utterance OF
Kaiser William regarding the socialist
ic victory at the recent general elections,
is causing a hot discussion. His maj
esty said "The socialist movement is
phenomenon about which | reserve
judgment. The present is not the right
time to take action against it," This
statement is a sensational contrast tC
his previous denunciation of the party
and suggests that the startling growth OF
the socialist coterie has impressed the
wide awake emperor on the necessity OF
coming to terms with them.

MARSHALL FIELD, multi millionaire,
railroad financier and merchant prince
of Chicago, before sailing from New
York for Europe yesterday, discussed the
business outlook, especially in the West.
Among other things he said;
should say that the word precarious is the
one that would best fit the situation as 1t
stands nj present While have no desire to
discourage the public | am afraid that we
have reached the tOpmOst point of our great
prosperity. and that for time at least there
will be need for the greatest care among our
business men, The chief danger TO the great
interests Of the country lies in the attitude OF
organized labor. Strikes have been carried
10 such an extent that no one knows what 10
figure on. Contracts have been violated,
strikes have been ordered on the most llimsy
pretexts and rules have been enforced that
have caused serious embarrassment 10 capital.
The time has come for the exercise
of the greatest conservatism. Labor leaders
should recognize this as well as bust
ness men and call halt on indiscrlhhnate
disturbances"
Mr.. Fields observations are similar to
those of other practical and thinking
men who contemplate present conditions,
and all peace-loving people hope the
warning will be needed by those now
menacing the peace and prosperity of the
country before it is too late.

As HAD been anticipated the Russian
Government has authorized, through Its
embassy in Washington, the statement
that it most positively and absolutely
denies the report that it offered to the
American government, either through
the Russian Embassy at Washington or
the American Embassy in st. Petersburg,
any official explanation regarding the
Kiscbenen incident. and declares that 1t
has never been addressed by the Amer
lean government on the subject. Rus
sia further states that that power must
categorically refuse to receive from any
power any representations, petitions OF
communications regarding its internal
affairs. This emphatic announcement
of the Russian governments intention
to subject the American envoy at ST.
Petersburg to severe snub in case ne
shall present the petition OF the Is Gal
Birth upon the Kischenef affair has
caused a profound sensation in admins
tration and diplomatic circles. That
grave consequences will ensue If the
President follows his announced inten-
ton to send the petition to Russia Is
said to be evident. 1t is limited that the
President stands practically alone in his
determination to forward the petition to
Russia, and that all of the members OF
his Cabinet, with the possible exception
of Secretary of State Hay, advised
against this step. This country seems
to be unfortunate. This is not the first
time in recent years that it has found
itself in an embarrassing position in Its
relations with foreign governments.

LATEST MINE HORROR.

1t is estimated that 235 men out OF
2S2 who were in the coal mine were
killed in the explosion at Hanna,
Wyoming, Tuesday. The majority Of
the victims are Finlanders and negroes.
A small army of would-be rescuers,
spurred on by the frantic appeals OF
wives, mothers and children who gath
cred at the mine, worked with desperate
energy all night Those who went in
tell of pitiful scenes at the seventeenth
level, the lowest point reached during
the night. Some of the survivors were
driven insane and fought furiously
against the rescuers. Dazed and listless,
some were found sitting on cars or lying
on the floor, careless whether they lived
or died. Near the seventeenth level 20
bodies were found strewn over pile OF
debris, which the men had striven to
s1rmount before they were overcome by
the fumes. Some were scared and
blackened by flames, but all had died
crawling toward fresh air. The IL
rescuers who penetrated thus far were
to weak to bring out a body.
For hours the scene at the mouth of the
level was heartmoving Mothers, wives,
sweethearts and children huddled to-
gether, weeping and wringing their
hands. Many sat on shattered timbcrs
blown from the mines mouth, insensible
to their surroundings. The more fran
tic pushed 10 the edge of the gap and
tried to force way into the slope. An
expert who went almost to the seven
teenth level says the mine cannot be
cleared for month. 1t is feared that
men in the lower levels were torn to
pieces by the explosion, which hurled
great timbers high over the town and
/ 200 feet beyond the mouth of the
slope. The fire bosses, who had report
ed all safe before working time Tuesday
met death while making a second in
speciion.

STREET DuEL.-An impromptu duel

of heavy caliber were used. Each
combatant emptied his piece. All five
Of Lancaster's bullets struck, one in the
chest, one in the side, and three in the
arms. McRaine will die. Lancaster
was struck only once, glancing shot on
the side of the head. His wound IS
only of the scalp, though it is an ugly
one. Both men are prominent and well
to do. The difficulty grew out OF Nc
Raine testilying in court adverse %
Lancaster. They met outside the court
room, began quarreling, grabbed each
others left hand, and began shooting
with the right.
