ceret. Baltimore brokers VS.. the Rev.
Wilbur r. Corhran. Tho former presiding
Elder was sued by the brokers TO re-
cover about $500 they alleged he owed
them through stock dealing transactions.
This statement of the chief justice Is
an important one just az this time as 1t
had been generally understood that the

ceret was not gambling Drs. Corlran
and Charles s. Baker have been under
suspension since last spring ON the charge
OF conduct unhecoming ministers OF the

Arms for Havana insurgents.

Havana.-Evidence obtained by the
commission which is investigating the
discovery by the secret police Satur-
day last of considerable quantity of
arms, ammunition and accoutrements
in a house in the Cerro suburb, is tend
ing to implicate few men of some
prominence. The government has no
doubt that the materials came from
the United States, and it is seeking to
learn who were the purchasers. Gov
ernment officials now admit that they
have received various secret advices
regarding contemplated uprisings be-
fore election day in various parts of
the island, particularly in the provinces
of Santiago, Santa Clara and Pinar Del
Rio, with probable attack on the pal
ace in Havana.
The object of the latter, according to
the officials. appears to be the removal.
possibly by assassination, of President
Palma. The plotters. it is pointed out.
are well aware, since there Is now no
vice president, that the election of
Palma's successor would. according to
the constitution, be in the hands of
Congress, and that the Liberals with
the help of few independents could
control both houses.
