ANGLo-cURAN TREATY.
Secretary of state Sees No Reason
why We Should object to lit.


Why We should object to 1t.
HAVANA, Oct. 1T.-When shown
dispatch from Washington saying that,
while the United States government
appreciated the reasons which impeiied
Cuban commercial bodies to object TO
the Anglo-Cuban treaty, the treaty was
regarded as distinctly disadvantag eous
to Cuba. as it might prevent the renew
al of the reciprocity treaty between
that country and the United States.
Secretary of State O'Farrill said that
he had received nothing ON the subject
from Washington. He reiterated that
the treaty as amended expressly ex
cepted the matter of customs duties
and in no way affected the question Of
reciprocity with the United States.
Therefore he could see no reason why
The United States should object to the
treaty. =.
Asked whether the government, III
view of the unanimous opposition TO
the treaty of the business interests Of
Cuba and also of American interests,
was not ready to relinquish 1t, the sec
rotary of state said that the matter
must be decided by the senate. lie
added that he did not know whether %
majority of the senators were now de-
sirous of killing the treaty.

STANDS ON HEAD TILL DEAD
Lunatic Commits Suicide in Police
Station in New Jersey by
Unique Method.

Paterson, n. Peter Ardine stood
On his head till he died, thereby estab.
fishing a unique record in suicide. He
was crazy and killed himself in a local
police station.
Ardine threw his heels into the air
and propped himself against wall
by the aid of a strait-jacket in which
he had been encased TO prevent him
from harming himself in a frenzy.
He then stood on his head until the
rush of blood ruptured every blood
vessel in his brain.
Physicians who have investigated
the affair say the case is unparalleled
in medical history and that the mans
suffering as the surge of blood tore
away the tissues of the brain must
have been frightful.
How long Ardine stood on his head
until Inconsistencies came to his re-
lief may never be known. but physi.
clans say it must have been at least
an hour When found. his body was
still in an upright position.

NEW YORK, Oct. 49, - Harry A.
Leonard, the young bank clerk jailed
for taking $359,000 worth of securities
from the National City bank by means
of forged check, has been indicted
for larceny in the first degree. AL
though it was claimed by his counsel
that the young man in taking the Sc
curities merely was showing how east
ly the great financial institutions of the
Wall street district might be robbed,
Leonard's indictment means that
fight will have to be made to I've him

LORD ROBERTS

arrival were remembered, and he be.
came Earl Roberts Of Kandahar.
Americans who meet Lord Roberts
will find that, like nearly all really
great fighters, he is modest to the
point of shyness. He has been rep
resented at times as a severe critic
and jealous rival of Lord Wolseley,
and as condemner of the methods
and work of Gen. Butler and other
officers. As a matter of fact Lord
Roberts never has criticised any act
of his fellow officers. He has held
opinions, but has kept them to him.
self
Nevertheless it was Gen. Buffers
failures in the operations against the
Beers that brought Gen. Roberts ac-
lively before the present generation as
a soldier. He was sent to South
Africa as commander in chief of all
British forces. and with Lord Kitch-
ener as his chief of staff quickly and
successfully ended the war which
previously had entailed one disaster
after another on England's troops.
Lord Roberts physically will not fill
the American ideal of a soldier. He
is a small man, but with his erect car
riage he makes the most of his inches,
and he has a natural dignity which
is impressive of force England looks
upon Lord Roberts as the greatest of
its generals since the days of Yelling
ton.
Lord Roberts has been likened time
and again to the American soldier,
Grant Their personality is much the
same-silence and force predominant
ing General Grant is considered by
Gen. Roberts to have been one of the
great masters of war
In England there has been a ten.
dency to rank Lee as a soldier above
Grant. Lord Roberts is credited with
saying: They were both great sol
diers and deserving of the highest
praise, but Gen. Grant had the genius
required for saving the union and
he ought not to be placed second to
any modern commander"
When Gen. Roberts arrives in the
United States the secretary of war will
detail an army officer to accompany
him in his tour of the country as hon
orary aid.

The Negotiations Received No official
Recognition in Field Prior to
Their Conclusion.

Gunshu Pass, Sept. 11.-slnce the
news was received that peace negotia~
lions at Portsmouth were approaching
a conclusion the correspondent of the
Associated Press has made a survey
of all the Russian positions from Mon
golia to headquarters, the object being
in part to ascertain the extent to
which the efforts making for peace
were viewed by the army. The ne
gotiations received no official recog-
milton in the field prior to their sue
cessful conclusion, the army keeping
in state of preparedness for battle
until the receipt by Gen. Lineyitch
of telegram from Emperor Nicho-
las declaring that the treaty had been
signed and that His Majesty accept
ed the conditions arrived at. This
telegram was officially published in
the army newspaper on Sept. 8, and
the outlines of the peace conditions
were printed in the same publication
yesterday
The officers thereof observed mil
itary decorum in the strictest sense,
but the soldiers, with the consent of
the officers, engaged in feasting and
other forms of celebration. 1t will
be week more before the entire army
is fully informed of the conclusion of
peace, but the news was discounted
long ago by the prevailing opinion
that since the appointment of the plen-
ipotentiaries peace was foregone
conclusion. 1t may be said that to the
4 great majority of officers and men so
far informed the news that the war
is at an end is most welcome.
Thousands are daily drinking to

the affirmative, they cheered him and
tossed him many times in the air after
the manner OF the CossaclSs, while
their officers generally protested
against this seeming questionable
manner of expressing their admira-
ton. Everywhere along the railroad,
where the newspapers could be OBJ
tanned, the soldiers eagerly scanned
the news and expressed their JOY by
