QUIET REIGNS IN CUBA
Disarming of the Insurgents Is Prac-
tically Complete.

Havana, Oct. 8.-The reports received
by the provisional government show
that the pacifcation of Cuba is practi-
cally complete with the exception Of
the province Of Santa Clara, where mat
tiers are rapidly nearing settlement.
The only trouble known to exist is
at Alquizar, province Of Havana, where
the liberals and moderates are about
equally divided and irritation has been
caused by the reinstatement of a liberal
mayor.
The disturbance at Guines was sup
pressed last night. The disorderly for
mer insurgents left the town and The
marines sent there report that the1ib-
erals celebration of their victory
passed off without any further disor-
der. None of the men cut with
machetes was seriously injured.
A closer examination of the rifles sur
rendered BY the insurgents shows that
very few Of them are fit for anything
but the scrap heap.

tary Of State Bacon took up their resi-

GOOD GOVERNMENT LEAGUE
Cuban Association Forming, May Ash
Permanent American Control.

Havana, Oct S.-The preliminaries
of an organization to be called tho
Good Government League Of Cuba are
under way. At a meeting of Ameri-
cans, Cubans and others, resolutions
were passed to the effect that the pur-
pose Of the association should be "the
promoting by all legitimate means the
establishment and maintenance of q
permanent, stable and lawful govern
ment, competent to administer Justice,
insure domestic tranquility, promote
the general welfare and insure the
blessings Of liberty to all the inhabi-
tants Of the island.' .~ -.
It was declared that tthe league in
tended to adopt whatever means to
this end were. deemed swisest by a ma
jority Of the. membership, which is in
tended to be representative of all ma
tionalities and all sections, and not to
be committed to any line of action un-
til it is decided what is most conducive
to the objects named. @a
While there was no expression to
that effect, the movement generally is
regarded as pointing eventually to-
ward some more definite degree 4of
American control or oversight in Gu
ban affairs than is vouchsafed by the
Platt amendment.

DOWELL'S CAREER
Fifteen Years as Newspaper Man in
Minneapolis.

"Billy' Dowell had been Minneap-
oils newspaper man for the last fifteen
years. Thru varying vicissitudes he
had won sympathy from many in his
struggle to overcome an infrmity which
at times thdreatened his career. For the
last two years, however, he had been
thoroly master Of himself and only last
Saturday remarked to friend that he
thought he could see his way clear to
a comfortable old age as a respected
citizen.
Dowell was born in Iowa forty-nine
years ago and was educated as a mu-
stefan. When a mere lad he went to
Cincinnati, where he pursued the study
OF the piano under some Of the most
famous teachers in the country. At
graduation he decided that temporal
mentally he was not suited to the career
of musician and took up stenography,
in which he became, an expert. In the
middle Of the 1905 Dowell came to
c. H. Prior, then general superinten-
dent Of the Milwaukee road. He was
in this work till 1891, when, thru his
acquaintance with the late Fred G..
Hunt, he entered newspaper work as
reporter on the Tribune. The early
friendship between the two men was
due to their mutual admiration of Shak-
spere. DQWeu knew the great drama
fist as we'll as he knew English, a
qualification which won him the warm
est appreciation from Hunt, then work.
ing as a dramatic critic Erratic but
/ brilliant, Dowell fell into newspaper
work like a veteran and at one time or
another he had been regularly on the
stats of all the Minneapolis dailies.
Tho his. eccentricities interfered
somewhat with his domestic life, Dowell
at his best was a thoughtful husband
] and father. His wife and j 7-year-ol
! daughter are now in Vinton, Iowa, where
Dowell' IS father resides.s and where the
\ daughter, who is, blind, is attending the
state school for the sightless. They
were in Minneapolis thru The latter part
i of August and since their return to
Iowa had been in receipt Of a daily let
ter from DoWell, who was looking for
ward to setting them up in a home OF
/ their own in Minneapolis. :, !,

BLUFFT0N RESORT j..
ii. ROBBED OF $500
Special to The journal,

Fergus Falls, MINI, Oct. s.--The
most successful burglary in this county
in recent years occurred at Bluffton
when the saloon Of R. M. Stundebeck
was entered and the safe robbed of
$500. Explosions were heard about 8
O'Clock in the morning, but it was
supposed the noise was caused by a
horse kicking in a barn. Investigation
in the morning, showed that the rear
door of the saloonS had been shattered
by nitroglycerin, which had been
poured into the cracks. The interior
Of the saloon showed the effect of the
explosions, and the safe had been
blown open and rifled Of it's contents.
Mr.. Stundebeck telephoned Sheriff
Albertson here, and notified officers
elsewhere to be on the lookout, but
there is very little probability Of the
robbers being captured, as he can give
no clue further, than to state. that three
men were about town during the day
without giving any explanation as to
their business.
