BY ORDER OF TAFT
GOVERNMENT DREDGEs ARE DO.
 ING PRIVATE WORK.
Deepening Channel of the Delaware River-Protest from Private
 Owners of Dredging Plants.

Washington, May 1S.-Secretary Taft has compiled with the request of the municipal authorities of Phila- .delphia and loaned them one of the big government dredges used by the army engineers to carry forward the work undertaken by the city of deep ening the channel. of the Delaware river. This action was not taken without strong protest from private interests controlling dredging plants which asserted that the national gov ernment had no right thus to prevent them from securing remuneratiye work for their plants. But Secre- tary Taft after a thorough examina- tion held that although this Dela- ware river work is being done at the expense of Philadelphia, which in fact Is expending about $750,000 on that score, the project is really one for the good of the whole country and thus the national government is properly interested in its success.

USED THEIR FISTS
AMERICANS WHEN THEY WERE
 ATTACKED AT GUANTANAMO. #
Natives Were Armed and Americans Were Taken by Surprise-One
 Shot and 22 Wounded.

Washington, May 1s.-The navy department has received the first re- port of serious fight which oc- cured in Guantanamo, Cuba, In April 29, between American sailors and natives, in which one American was shot and twenty-two otherwise wounded.
 While the sailors were ashore at Guantanamo they left the naval res ervation and were attacked by a large band of natives, who used their knives and machettes with telling effect. The blue jackets had no weap- ons, and although outnumbered three and four to one, they fought with their fists until all were disabled.
 The local police, it is said, in stead of attempting to quell the riot, sided with the natives. The sailor who was shot was for time in a serious condition, but has since re- covered.

CAVALRY ORDERED
 OUT AT COEYMANS
OUTLOOK FOR PEACE IS NOT
 VERY FAVORABLE.
Men Will Return to Work But Want an Agreement Signed-Employ- CTS Will Not Recoenize Union
 Yards May Shut Down.

Coeymans, N. Y., May 1S.-Col- onel Charles E. Davis, commanding the troops on guard here iE connec- tion with the brick yards strike, at II a. m. to-day, after conference with Sherift Pitts. requested Brigadier- General Lloyd, commanding the third brigade, to order Troop B. cavalry, of Albany, to report immediately for service with the troops.
 The troops are expected to ride down here (twelve miles) this after noon.
 That this would be a critical day in the brick yards strike. and that its outcome here might very likely settle the question of an agreement or a shutdown in the yards all along the river, was evident at the outset of the day. The employers, Sheriff Pitts and Charles E. Davis, com manding the battalion of National Guardsmen, went into conference at 0:S0 q. m.
 At that hour the prospects of a peaceful settlement was not so good as they seemed last evening, though not entirely dissipated. The men had sent word to President Suderley early this morning that they would return to work on the terms offered by the employers If the latter would sign an agreement covering their proposition.
 An interpreter was summoned from Albany, and the intention was to 10 through the Italian settlement, notify the men to go to work this, af- ternoon, and If they failed, to shut down the yards indefinitely. The one point which the employers say they will not yield under any circum- stances Is. that of recognition of the union.
 Last night was an anxious night in both camp and town owing to per sistent rumors that achievements of bricklayers from down the river were on their way here. Nothing oc- cured to verify this rumor.
 Tn announcing the request for cav airy troops Colonel Davis said that the sheriff had requested the rein forcements not because of any alarm ing developments, but because the present force had been continuously on duty and was besides inadequate to cover the wide stretch of terri tory.
 Sheriff Pitts said that the employ CTS would not grant the special de. mand of the men for recognuiop or the union even by the signing oi an agreement.

WINTER CLOTHING IN STORAGE
Policemen Now in Their Full sum-
 mer Regalia.

Why did the policemen look so happy to-day, This morning they placed their heavy apparel in stor- age for the fall and donned the clothes used during the summer months. The heavy belt was also laid aside and the patrolmen feel much more comfortable without the veighty belt.
 The white gloves nevertheless are still worn and although some think that they should be discarded dur ing the warm weather the heads of the department do not think that way. Superintendent of Police Beach while taking about the Waterbury police force this morning said that in his opinion the officers in Water bury were the best looking that can be found in the state.

Fire Companies That Try to Evade

San Francisco, May ls.-That the insurance companies which manifest an intention of resisting claims ana eyadipg payment of losses sustained by policyholders in the great fire here by resorting to legal technicalitlcs will he marked companies and may meet with drastic action. In some states is indicated by the tenor Of replies received by Insurance Com missioner E. Myron Wolf In response to his appeal to the insurance depart ments of other states to assist him in compelling the insurance companies to deal fairly with their policyholders in the present crisis. Commissioner Wolf yesterday received the follow inf official communication from Sam- nel F. Davis. state controller of Neva- ds:
 ''I understand that some of the east ern and foreign companies are pro posing to crawl behind technicalities i'm the matter of adjusting losses in San Frnnclsco: that where houses were dynamited to stay the progress of the flames. houses which in the natural course of events wouh have been swept away by the fire few minutes later-they will refuse to pay the insurance.

To Grow Rubber Plants
Government Land in Colorado to be Leased
to Company for Experiment Purpose.

/ quantities and probably at lower alti.
tudes. A judicious selection of seeds
and experiments in cultivation may
greatly increase the quantity OF the
production of the plant and the
am cunt OF rubber in each plant. The
claim was made to the committee
that the plant yielded rubber averag.
ing in quantity from 3 TO IL per cent.
1t Is hoped that by skillful selection
the production may be sufficiently
increased to make a commercial sue
cess of the enterprise and add another
industry to American agriculture.
If the company should meet with
success ii would under the bill have
the right to purchase the land at the
price fixed in the act of congress open
ing the Ute Reservation for settle
ment.
"A small rental of cents an acre is
charged in the bill, the PROCEEDS to 20
to the Indians. The land is now lying
idle and is of little value for grazing,
and is not susceptible to irrigation, as
it is on a high, dry mesa. The expert
ment, therefore, does not interfere
with legitimate agricultural settle
ment. There are interesting and val
liable possibilities in case of success
and no harm can come to anyone but
the lessees i'm case of failure, and your
committee believe the opportunity TO
make the experiment ought to be CIV
Ell.
The bill is so drawn that mineral
land can not be acquired under 1t.
During the period Of the lease the
character of the land as to mineral
will he investigated, and the land can
not bc purchased If it contains coal OF
other valuable minerals. ! lie land
has been open at Sl25 an acre since
1880, and should the experiment prove
successful a considerable area of the
reservation would become valuable.
Your committee are of the opinion
that the experiment ought to be made
and that the bill is so guarded as to
protect the rights of the Indians and
of the general public.
No expense is involved TO the Gov
eminent, and the bill only gives an
opportunity for the experiment.
