That declaration was made last night
by General Jose Miguel Gomez, gov

the presidency of Cuba, who arrived
from Havana yesterday.

continued, and TO breathe the air of

no hope of justice from judges and
magistrates who recognize no law but

hindered in casting our votes and cuba
is now suffering a reign of terror never
equaled under Spanish tyranny.
Use Public Funds in Election.
Public funds are used for electoral
purposes. The sanitary condition of
the island is a disgrace. The Cuban
government has employed thousands Of
men IN the sanitary department-but
for voting. not for working purposes.
1T has BECOME impossible to dare
oppose the government without risk of

Havana has been deprived of his office
against law and the whole city coun-

We're liberals. No one dares confess
his political opinions for fear OF assas-

FOR what is happening in Cuba the

Annapolis. Md, Oct. i~.-Dishonesty in
nigh places in state, judiciary ald great
financial institutions and corporations
and palliation of such acts by the mass
es. sravely threaten the future of the
country, according to views expressed
today by j. Edward Simmons, presi-
dent Of the Fourth National bank of
New York, in an address before the
Maryland Bankers association.
He pointed to lessons taught by the
fall of the ancient Roman republic, the
reign OF terror in France. and disasters
which befell the Russian army in the
recent conflict in the far east. all of
which. he said, were due to palliated
dishonesty.
He deplored conditions which have
led men to tolerate the terms of
graft and "grafters." and said he
feared the very use of the words was
an indication of mems tolerance of the
thief and his trade.
Down with the Hypocrites.
He called upon the members of the
association to give their assistance to
rcmedying a condition which makes it
possible for men who pose as the salt
or the earth and who condemn, With.
out reserve. those who steal $50 or
forge a check for 500 or ccept a bride

by misreprcsenting. by fraud, and by

private life, who, lin the interests of
corporations. trusts. gas, railroad and
insurance companies nave recourse to

Who does the deed of the llighwayman
with the air of a saint"
Causes Socialism.
Simmons referred to the growth of
the socialistic movement as shown by
the last presidential elections. as due
largely TO the fact, he said, tina, masses
see the great fortunes accumulated by
dishonest means and when so accumul-
ated combined to smother individual
enterprises.
lie believed the situation was not
without hope, as the very fact that the
country has awakened To the conli-
lions and that fearless and able men
are organizing INC leading a campaign
against dishonesty, are grounds for
nope that a far-reaching remedial pro-
cess has already barun.
Objects to the Tariff.
Simmons discussed the tariff. scoring
severely those who 'debauch a legis-
iator to enact laws crushing their fell
low citizens under the name of duty"
Il recognize readily" said he, that
under exceptional circumstances it may
be even iustifiah!e to make the tariff

Washington, Oct. G.-Secretary Taft
will at the first opportunity take up
with the president the proposition to
transfer the control of the whole mat

canal from the war department to the
state department. Ii was his intention
to discuss the matter with the president

prevented his doing so. The question
was brought up some time ago, but for
various reasons II was postponed to a
more favorable occasion. Since the
Spanish-American war, involving the
acquisition of the Philippines, the work,
of the war department has greatly In

transfer to the state department of the
