COMMITTEE WILL VISIT HAVANA.

CATION of the Generals Admfnis-
tration I'm Cuba.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-The Senate
committee on military affairs will designate
a subcommittee to go to Cuba to take tes-
timony regarding the conduct Of General
Wood. The personnel of the committee has
not yet been agreed upon. nor the number
of members. 1t is asserted that so much
has already been said about the conduct of
General Wood in Cuba that 1t will be nee
essary to examine witnesses In that island

Capt. w. j. Barden. of the artillery corps.
U. S. A. who was officer in charge of street
improvements at Havana during General
Woods administration as governor general
of Cuba, was the only witness to-day. Capt
Barden's testimony had no immediate bear
ing upon the charges against General
Wood. He was summoned at the request
of Senator Foraker and is understood to
be one of the officers General Wood is said
to have asked to have called to refute cer-
tain charges which Major Rathbone had
indicated he would bring before the COM
mittee.
When the committee met to-day only six
members were present. These were Sem

NEELY NOT TO GET MONEY
MOTION OF COUNSEL FOR RETURN OF
$4,000 CASH BAIL OVERRULED.
Application Was Based on Amnesty
Act Passed by the Cuban Congress,
Which Released the Indianian.

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-Judge Laconabe,
in the United States Circuit Court, to-day
handed down an opinion overruling the mo-
ton made by Charles F. w. Neely, con-
victed in Cuba of appropriating $45.375 of its
postal funds, while acting as director of
postoffice finances during the military oc-
cupation of the Island of Cuba by the United
States, to vacate the attachment filed by the
United States against $4,000 cash bail de-
posted by Nicely with the registrar of the
United States Circuit Court in this district.
Neelys counsel had moved the dismissal of
the attachment and civil proceedings on
the ground that the act of amnesty passed
by the Cuban Congress in May, 1902, where
by all Americans convicted Of crime in
Cuba during the occupancy of the island
were pardoned, removed with IT all peral-
ties and disabilities and that the money
should, therefore, be returned to him.
The United States, which brought the
action prior TO the passage of the amnesty
act. contended that the money so deposited
properly belonged to Cuba, from which
government Nicely had embezzled Ii. In his
opinion, Judge Lacombe says: 1T is diff
cult to understand by what process of rea-
soning provision plain as this amnesty
act can be so construed as to transfer the
title to property from the true owner to the
thief who stole 1T.

WAR RUMOR FROM TOXIC
JAPANESE SHIPS DISPATCHED AFT
Err RUSSIAN VESSELS.
Alleged to Have Been Ordered to
Prevent Them Joining the squad
ron mt Port Arthur.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. pa semi-cffi-
cial Russian agency has received from
Toxic report to the effect that Japanese
warships have been dispatched to prevent
the Russian war vessels Tsarevitch and
Baian reaching Port Arthur to join the
Russian squadron there.
LONDON, Nov. 24.-The alarming report
from Toxic that Japanese war vessels have
been dispatched to prevent two Russian
warships reaching Port Arthur TO join the
squadron there cannot be confirmed here.
1t is possible that this report is connected
with the statement of the Japanese jour
nal the Nasasaki Shimpo, which. as an
nounced in these dispatches yesterday, was
to the effect that japanese squadron of
twelve vessels had left Jasebo for an un-
known destination.
The fact that such a statement should be
issued by a Russian semi-official agency
is, however, regarded as significant Curl
ously enough the Russian newspaper svet
few days ago expressed the belief that
communications between Port Arthur and
Japan had been already interrupted.
In Cardiff yesterday renewed activity was
reported on the part of Russian and Jap
anese agents with a view TO securing
further shipments of coal.
