Moderates Are Recolictrant.

ITavana October 1.-The executive com mttee of the moderate party has 1ssued a manifesto strongly inferring the Amerl- can commission is to blame for the lh- tervention.
 It summarizes the attitude of the party, eulogizes ex-President Palma, his actions, and his resignation; reiterates the lesanty of the last actions and denies all respoh- sibIlity for the revolution and the results thereof The manifesto asserts that the basis presented by President Roosevelt commissioners were practically the same as those submitted by the liberals. In jus ti1cation of their action in deserting Con- gress the moderate leaders say that ln- tervention was then already an accomp- lshed fact They consider the animation of the American commissioners that re- tention of the presidency by Senor Palma was the only solution bringing result other than intervention, impossible, and they declared furthermore that they were not able to assist in a Congress whose powers had been declared illegitimate.
 In conclusion the manifesto says the party always will sustain social order and advocate those principles which Will eventually restore to Cuba the integrity Of her institutions.

thought to have been caused by cleo
trio wires.

Action of Judge MCPHERSON at Kansas
City Satisfies Prosecutor Who
Conducted the Gases.

Kansas. City, Mo-, June "a. S.
Van Valkenburgh, United States dis
trict attorney fol-. the western dis
trict of Missouri, who has directed for
the government the suits in the seven
rebate cases that were concluded here
Friday, when Judge Smith Mcpherson
pronounced sentence upon the defend
ants, said, after court had adjourned:
II am entirely satisfied with the
judgments. The results are Of enor-
nous benefit to society. AS far as the
rulings Of trial court may be eff
fectual the following propositions
have been established:
'"That the conspiracy statute ap-
plies to the combined efforts of midi
viduals, seeking by device and fndi-
rect methods, to evade the interstate
commerce law.
'aThat congress has jurisdiction over
our foreign commerce, as conducted
within the limits OF our own territory;
and has enacted laws which provide
a remedy against favorftism and un-
| just discrimination
THAT export as we'll as other tar
IFS must be filed with the interstate
commerce commission and maintained.
Neither shippers nor carriers can
by contract among themselves render
the provisions of the law imperative. .
Especial stress was laid by both
| court and attorneys for the defend
| ants in the cases of George L. Thorn
as, the New York freight broker, and
| his chief clerk, L. B. Taggart. Judge
| o. M. Spencer, speaking particularly
for these two defendants, said that
while they were charged under the
conspiracy statute, they were tried I'M
der the Elkins law.
| ut is question: said he, "wiseth-
er these men should have been con
victed on the charge of conspiracy al
all under the evidence. Only ship.
pers can receive, only carriers can

Judge McPhersm. in dealing with
Thomas and TaggMt. was very posi-.
tive in his statement that they had
secured and paid rebates to various
merchants, and he scored vigorously

Wolf Farming.

Winona-With the view to discour-
aging wolf farming" if it is being
carried on in Winona county, the
county board has reduced the bounty
paid for cub wolves, and has increased
the bounty paid for old wolves. In
stead of adding 81 to the 81 allowed
by the state for cubs, the county adds
only 81, making the total bounty for
cubs So On the other hand, the board
has decided to add $3.50 to the $3.50
allowea by the state for old wolves
making a total Of $40. 1t is thought
that with ten paid for old wolves a
greater effort will be made to kill these
pests, and of course in this way stop
the breeding.
