Havana, Dec. 3t.--The statement is
made that several thousand rifles and
machine guns reported to have been
landed recently in Pinar Del Rio
province and hidden in the woods
near Mariel, have been secretly taken
away. The recent movement of
troops and police. which is considered
mysterious in the light of Governor
Magoon's statement that there was no
fear of rising in Cuba, is explained
by this announcement. 1t is now
known that the movement was in the
nature of a search for these arms.
The possibility of a clash between
Cubans and Americans is not consid-
cred probable as the relations are
good. The natives, however, are plot
ting against one another. Just who
is responsible for the shipment of
arms is not known. There are indica-
tions that it is going to be difficult
to repress disorders by growing bands
of negroes, who are burning corn
fields and tobacco barns robbing es-
tates and stealing cattle.

SAYS AID WOULD HURT
INDIANS OF ALASKA.

Washington, Dec. 31.-In a report
on the Copper River Indians of
Alaska, Captain Eli A. Helmick, of
the tenth infantry. stationed at Fort
Lescum. Alaska, believes that the
only way to relieve the tribe would
be to place it under a government
agent who would look after them.
The present system of helping them,
ne said, encouraged them to exc out
a lazy trifiing existence. Godfrey A.
CheaIander, of Seattle, who has made
a study of the Indians of Alaska, and
their needs, is also of the opinion
that the only way to deal with them
would be to handle them in the same
way as the aboriginies in the western
and eastern states are dealt with.

THE WHISKEY CHAvES

The United States Marshals office

tion. A week ago one Rumalo Chav-
es, who conducts a road house north
of the city, was arrested for selling
liqnor to Indians. Samples of the
liquor Chaves sold were secured in
the shape of two half pint TASKS of
liquid that looked like whiskey. APP
parently Chaves was caught dead to
rights" and the authorities felt sure
that they had the convicting evi-
dence The bottle were placed on
Marshal Foraker's desk, not as a
temptation but for safe keeping. The
bottles had not been there long be-
fore the marshal noticed that black
sediment was forming in them. This
sediment looked like well chewed up
tobacco. II was black and filmy and
repulsive looking The color of the
liquid was no longer the color of
whiskey, and il is now up to the prose
cutting attorney Ia prove that 1t is
whiskey.

Holmes. During his connection with
the local schools there have been many
changes and they have grown to a
large extent Manual training has
been introduced, two or three new
buildings have been erected and the
general standing of the schools has
been raised. Mr. Sterling has proved
an efficient director of the citys edu-

nation was considered. 1t has been
known for several weeks by Mr.. Ster-
llng's friends that he would relinquish

ence as a superintendent of city
schools. According to superintendent
Clark Albuquerque is very fortunate
I'm securing his services.
