II was explained at the War Depart

no one doubts that the japanese officer

it Is considered equally certain that
Japan viii deny all knowledge of his do

Even had the japanese officer managed
70 make his drawings without detection.
II Is declared at the War Department
there would be practically no objection to
Japan having this information. The
United states proceeds on an entirely
clneront principle in such matters from
european governments. No restrictions
are now placed upon visitors observing
the fortihcatons Of this country the
idea being to make them impregnable and
just a little better than any other forti-

Minneapolis, Nov. l3.--The recent
political activity OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor occupied prominent
place in the report Of the executive
council, which was read today al the
convention OF tho federation.
The report defined tho attitude of
organized labor toward politics. Ac-
cording to the report the total sum re-

The American Federation, thc re-

does propose to suggest from lime 10

HORSE STEALING
MADE O|GN|F|ED
Cuban Rebel Soldiers Allowed to
Keep Horses That Were
Stolen.
THEY WERE NOT REGISTERED.
so Though Former Owner Might
Identify Them lie Could Not
Reclaim Them.

Washington. Nov. l3.-Somc Of the
Cuban generals who have been assist
ing the Americans in the effort to dis
arm and send to their homes the in
surrectionists in the late revolutionary
movement appear to have dignifed and
legalized the crime of horse stealing
in the most ingenious manner, accord
ing to reports that have reached the
war department when the rebel sol
diers surrendered their arms they were
told that they might keep their horses
untll they could reach their homes.
Now these horses had been stolen most
~, and the individual soldier was told
that he must return the horse 10 IFS
owner If the latter could show that
the animal was registered according
To the Cuban law. Each OF the SOL
dierS was given "a certificate describ-
ing the horse and the conditions under
which he might be returned to the
real owner.
Two facts made this reclamation well
nigh impossible IN most cases. In the
first place, only small proportion OF
the horses In Cuba were registered, 80
that no matter how thoroughly farm
err could identify his own horse in the
possession of one of these rebels, he
could not obtain possession Of the ami
NAL for lack of the rcgistratin certl-
ficate; in the second place, the dis
banded rebels before returning to their
homes took care to exchange horses 50
that an animal stolen in Santiago would
not be returned to that province bur
would find u home In Pinar Del Rio.
This state of Affairs was made worse
according to the report by the action
of some Cuban generals by actually
| issuing certificates i'm blank TO the dis
banded soldiers so that II was possible
for them to continue indefinitely t.
steal horses.

STANDARD OIL LANDS.

San Francisco Nov. 13.--The Call to-
day says:
1t became known In federal circles
Yesterday that recent locations of land
in Kern county by agents of the stan
dard oil company have been made the
subject of investigation by government
officials. As a result it is asserted In
dlctments win follow The land was
taken up by the petroleum combine oa-
tensibly for the gypsum deposits, but
in reality for oil purposes. That the
character OF the land had been care
fully studied Is shown by the fact that
a flowing oil well has already been de"
yeloped.
The inquiry is being made through
the office of United States Attorney
Devlin of San Francisco. Federal
agents have been at work for several
weeks In Kern county. From their pre-
lininary reports 1t is believed that the
manner IN which the land was secured
will warrant indictments on the part oil
