DEMANDS
CUBAN rNSURGENT LEADER IN
TERvlEWED.
WOULD HAVE NEW ELECTION

SuTT1 WdHtS OTitcu StdtcS TO HTpi-
trate-Wlll Not Compromise With
Cuban Government = Beset With
Spies.
San Juan de Martinez.-An A5soci-
ated press correspondent spent Sunday
night IN Pine Guerra's camp. Proceed
ing league from town, the correspon-
dent encountered the insurgent out
posts and asked to be taken to the gen.
eral, which was finally done, after
sending letters OF Identification. Guerra
said no was willing to talk for the
American people. He said:
II want 1t understood that l will not
accent any offers of compromise with
the Cuban government, but I would be
glad to arbitrate with properly accred-
tied representatives of the United
States appointed by President Roose-
welt, on the basis only of a new presi-
Dental election in Cuba. Otherwise
we shall stay out indefinitely. We
In any case"
Guerra gravely charged the Cuban
government with trying to send spies
to hts camp, and said:
while near San Luis an Individual
called Andres Agramonte presented
himself and stated that the government
had named eight men, whose names he
gave, to join my command. After
much questioning he was released.
Later he appeared again, was tried by
a council and proved to be traitor to
our cause. He was hanged August "a
before the entire force drawn up in
hollow square.
81 can assure you," Guerra said, my
information of the government troops
is as perfect as that obtained by
Palma, the illegal president of Cuba"
Guerra is all-powerful at present
among the people of this district. He
believes most confidently that he could
take San Juan de Martinez and defeat
the government troops any night or
any day. He charges President Palma,
Secretary Montalvo and Freyro An,
drade with all manner of official and
personal dishonesty. Until Sunday
Guerra had money, but this is COM
pleteiy exhausted, and to-day he began
issuing orders in payment for supplies
on the Cuban government" when ne
assures the people eventually will DO
paid.
Guerra said he would not object to
foreign governments guarantee or In
spection of new elections, with the OBJ
ject of enforcing a new deal, but ne
would not trust the Palma government.
He also regretted that he had released
Lieutenant Ascuy, who was captured In
the San Luis fight, since Ascuy had re-
appeared against him now.
Guerra not only is popular with his
command, but the people appear 10 b
devoted to him.

The Army Canteen.

Discussing the army canteen and the
prospect which it considers small -
that it will soon be reestablished, the
Medical News puts aside entirely the
abstract temperance question and
appeals for a sensible decision as TO
whether the private soldier is TO drink
moderately in the canteen or immoder
ately in the dive. Tommy Atkins and
the boy in blue it says. ARE very
much the same article of war, particu-
larly when they are impregnated with
a dash of 'MuIvany, as indeed. are all
the units of the fighting machine the
world over. and the only way to pre-
vent the modern soldier, with his poly
glot admixture of brains, dash and in
genuity. from obtaining liquor is to
abolish not only it's manufacture. but
the production of the things from
which il is made" In other words. the
situation to- be faced is that while there
are intOxicants to be had the enlisted
men will have them, and what is need
ed is not a compromise with evil. but
a recognition of facts. This is almost
certainly an exact presentation of the
case

then proceeds to suggest important
changes First, il would have no one
admitted TO citizenship who does not
furnish satisfactory evidence that he
intends permanently to reside in this
country: second, that no one shall be
admitted TO citizenship who does not
know the English language; third.
that no naturalization shall be confer
red within so days of presidential or
congressional election; fourth, that the
declaration of intention. now made two
years before naturalization, should be
discontinued, and in place a provision
substituted that a person desiring ma
turalization file a petition in the court
in which his case is to be heard at
least three months before the final
hearing In addition. the commission
finds. which is not surprising discov
cry that many courts, both state and
federal. are now exceedingly lax in
their methods of granting naturaliza-
tion and recommends that naturaliZa
ton be restricted to federal courts.
There will be- of course, difference of
opinion as to the language require
ment, but otherwise the recommends
tons of the commission are such as to
commend universal approval. For more
than a generation our naturalization;
laws have been highly unsatisfactory
and have opened wide the door to
fraud and TO political corruption. With
an immigration approximating 1000
600 year for the last five years. I'M
less remedies are applied we are likely
to nave a further aggravation of the
evil. As to hundreds of thousands of
the five-year period is APP
an end. If the practice OF
"railroading' the unfit into citizenship
is to be stopped the naturalization laws
must be amended

Nations Naturalization Laws.

Last summer President Roosevelt
appointed a commission to examine
the naturalization. laws and to make
recommendations concerning revision.
Desiring to have an expert rather than
an amateur opinion, the commission
was made up of men who have had
practical experience with various phas-
es OF the naturalization problem. viz:
Milton ID. Purdy. assistant attorney
general; Gaillard Hunt, chief of the
passport bureau of the state depart
ment. and Richard X. Campbell. law
officer of the bureau of immigration
This commission has fled its re-
port. 1t recommends that the general
principles of the existing law be re-
spected in any new legislation, and

Umbrella With a History.

The state of California was present
ed with an interesting historical relic
the other afternoon when Mrs. s. J.
Hensley gave j. a. Filcher and Frank
Virgins an umbrella which had shell
tered the admission papers of the state
in their trip from Washington to San
Francisco, says the Portland Orego-
MAN. On the trip across the Chagres
river OH the isthmus of Panama it
rained for seven days, and during all
this time the papers were sheltered by
Miss Crosby under the umbrella given
to the state as historical relic. Miss
Crosby afterward became the wife Of
Major S. j. Hensley of Suffers fort
and all during the following years has
cherished the umbrella as a memento
of the trip.

CHURCH FOR ALL cREEDs
st. Louis Physician to Establish and
Maintain Unique Society.

Maintain Unique Society.
A church where men and women Of
all creeds and faiths may gather and
| worship God in the simplest form i'm
aginable where there will be no preach
| ing and 10 sermons, no choir, no ritual.
no ceremony and no collection plate.
where all the pewS will be free and
only automatic music from electrically
operated chimes and pipe organ will be
heard-such is the church that Dr. Au-
gust Schmidt, n German physician, will
erect and maintain at his own expense
in South st. Louis, says dispatch
from that city.
DR.. Schmidt's conviction of what
constitutes Christianity was acquired
after two years of mental and spiritual
torment, during which he was pursued
and tOrmented ceaselessly by voice
urging on him countless sins and crimes
and promising him immunity from pun
ishment or suffering as consequence.
Nightly he Strove against this
voice praying and reading his Bible
till finally. he says, he was made to
understand that the Bible was inspired
by both God and the devil. the latter
tradiction to the divine messages. The
devil exercises hypnotic influence over
the souls of sinners, and In many cases
they are unable to resist his tempta-
lions and are for that reason absolved
by God from all responsibility for their
deeds. the penalty of which must be
paid 10y Satan himself Deliberate sins,
Dr. Schmidt says. are compensated for
in this life. Gods will Is that all men
should live, but the devil would have
all men die. After death the souls of
the entirely wicked are dissolved In
the soul OF Satan. thereby increasing
his power and his punishment.
All churches are good. and all creeds
are good. says DR.. Schmidt, but they
all err in failing to conduct positive
and aggressive warfare against the
fiend. The mere worship of God IS neg
alive Christianity. Christians should
be warriors, fighting always against
the evil one.
