NEWLANDS WANTS TO
ANNEX CUBA.
Under Newlands' Plan Porto Rico Is
To Become County Of Cuba.
No Forcible Annexation,
All Depending on the
Action Of Cuba.
By Jos: Obi.

Washington, November 2I.-(Special)-
Whereas, the republic of Cuba is de-
sirous Of securing commercial union with
the United States; and
Whereas, the best commercial union can
be secured by and through political union
by means OF the admission of the republic
OF Cuba as q sovereign state in the union.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the
senate and house of Representatives OF tho
United States OF America, in congress
assembled That the republic Of Cuba be.
and is hereby, invited to become n sta te
OF the United States upon terms Of equal
ity with all other states of the union.
These resolutions, formally introduced
in the senate, represent the views OF
their author Senator Newlands, Of Ne
vada as to the most important step chat
can be taken to bring about permanent
close relations between the United states
and Cuba. In the Judgment OF The Ne
vada senator, who has made the closest
possible study OF the business and polti-
cal relationship between these two re-
publics, this is The most appropriate time
to hold out to the Cubans the opportu-
nifty Of becoming part of this great ma
ton. This invitation, IS Senator New
lands contends, is The highest compliment
the United states could pay to Cuoa.
AS q part OF his plan, Senator NeWlands
suggests:
!. That the island Of Porto Rico be-
come d county or province OF Cuba aud
Il part OF the state Of Cuba.
z. That the president and vice president
OF tho republic OF cuba De the governor
and lieutenant governor. respectively, o.

flee expire. ana that all other executive,
legislative ana Judicial officers now hold

TO hold similar positions in the state Of
Cuba until their present terms expire.
with the exception OF the customs and
postal officials who shall be incorporated
into the customs and postal service OF
the United States, and the rural guard
the officers and subordinates Of which
snail be incorporated into the army Of
the United States.
That the bonds about TO be issued
by tho republic os CUBA for the payment
OF its army during tho war with Spain,
asgrega ting SIS 600 600. with interest at
5 per cent, be issued rs the bonds OF the
ste te Of Cuba. and that the interest agreed
TO be paid thereon be reduced from S 10
3 PER cent, the difference to be applied TO
the sinking fund, and that as so changed
their payment be guaranteed by the
United States.
q. That thu balance in tire treasury OF
the republic Of Cube he turned over 10
the state or Cuba, and the balance in the
treasury OF Porto Rico DO turned over to
! tho county or provincial authorities Of
that island.

tluents FOR MANY wears.

A BROAD GAUGE
Promised from Washington to Waynes-
burg next summer.

With the report that the Wabash
railroad is to be built through Greene
and Washington counties within a
year probably, comes again the asser-
tion that the w. & w. railroad, from
Washington to Waynesburg, is to be
made a standard gauge, the contract
for the work having been given out
recently TO Kerbaugh Il Co., con-
tractors, of Philadelphia. 1t will be
remembered that about two months
agosrepresentatives OF the contracting
firm mentioned together With repre-
sentativrs of other firms went over
the road with view OF making bids
on the work. Now it is announced
that the Philadelphia company was
successful in securing the contract.
As to the time when the company
must begin or finish the work, no
public mention has been made, al
though it is believed that the COM
pany has in mind the early compile
tion of the work. From latest reports
the Wabash railroad company will
likely during the present year COM
plete its line, and the prediction that
the Pennsylvania company will be
the first to have broad gauge to the
Greene county capital will Inost prob
ably be verified in the actual construc-
ton Of the road this summer.

President Roosevelt Spends
Quiet Sunday as Guest
Of Souix Falls, S. D.
ATTENDS DIVINE SERVICE TWICE
IN the Afternoon He Enjoyed Horse-
back Ride-Hereafter President
Will Time His Speaking So as to
Reach His Car by 10 O'Clock.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 6.-Presi-
Falls enjoyed a day of comparative
rest, the first he has had since his
trip began. He attended church, both
in the morning and evening, and in
the afternoon went for a horseback
ride, accompanied by Seth Bullock,
est reserves.
The fact that President Roosevelt
attended divine services twice was
due to an error on the part of the
local committee. The committee had
the impression that the president was
a member of the German Lutheran
church, and accordingly arranged to
have him attend that church in the
morning. When it was learned later
that the president worshipped at the
Dutch Reformed church arrangements
were made to have services in the
evening at the Livingstone Reformed
church here. While it is not the GUS
tom of the president to attend services
Sunday evening, he made an exception
when the facts were made known to
him
Owing to the fact that both in Mil
waukee and Minneapolis the length
OF the program did not permit the
president to reach his car until after
midnight, he has been obliged to an
nounce that hereafter he will not be-
gin speaking later than $50 in the
evening and always will be back in
his car by 10 o'clock. He will adhere
strictly to this rule.
A pickpocket tried to work his game
in the crowd gathered in front of the
Lutheran church. Just as the presi-
dent was about to enter the edifce
a man who gave the name of G. w.
Earl took $23 from the pocket of a
resident of this city. He was detected
In the act, but before he could be
seized he handed the money to con
federate, who disappeared. Earl was
arrested.

In which switching irons, bricks and
other missiles were used. In response

persons were severely cut and bruis-

great, appreciative audience. an audi

TORN STAMPS NOT GOOD.
A Fact not Generally Known to Letter
Writers

The Post Office Department has
under preparation a small book, TO
be issued to patrons of the postoffices
throughout the country, which will
contain great amount of informa
ton regarding the business of the
postofficc which is not generally
known. The book will be, in a
measure, a book of instruction as
to how to transact business
with the postotiice One of the
things to be treated will be tue use
of mutilated stamps on letters. 1t
is not generally known to users of
postage stamps that a torn or de
faced stamp cannot be used. Per.
sons who have torn stamps in their
possession have been in the habit of
pasting the two pieces together and
thus placing it on a letter This is
prohibited in the postal regulations
and the person who uses such a
stamp runs the risk OF not having
his or her letter delivered. Some
times the stamps are SO well repair
ed that the Gear escapes detection,
but should the rent in the stamp be
found by the postal officials it is of
no value. The book will also contain
information regarding the registry
and money order systems.

A cold Northwestern which was
ushered in Saturday morning,
brought the temperature down to
degrees below the freezing point on
Sunday morning, April 9th. The
ground was frozen, sheets of ice
covered pools of water, and all the
oyergrown vegetation was frozen to
crisp. The wind subsidized in the
night, and heavy white frost COW
cred the earth Sunday morning,
doing much damage to the early

EMBARGO PLACED
ON DRINKS BY b. & D.
Strict Orders go in Effect That no In
tOxicated Persons shall be Permit.
ted to Beard Trains.

Notice has been sent out from the
headquarters of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad company at Baltimore, that
on and after April 1st intoxicated
persons will not be permitted TO board
any train. Notices to this effect will
beiposted at an early date, and it is SAID
that the new rule will be strictly en-
forced. For time there will no
doubt be number Of fellows left at
the depots along the line. For some
time past the B. & o. company has
been waging War against the rowdyism
on the trains, and is believed to be
very successful. The embargo on the
drunk is believed to be the 6nal act
in the war, as the booze is about the
only thing that has ever raised a dis
turbance on any train, The practice
of drinking while on the train will al.
so be prohibited as much as possible.
With these new rules in effect the send
ing OF policemen out on the trains
viii not be so important, but their
presence at the depot to keep the
DRINKS off will be very necessary.
