REPORTS EL CANEY As TAKEN.
Col. AsuIrre, Rebel Press Agent. Gives Out
the News Here.

According to advices received from
Havana by Col. Carlos, n. Aguirre, press
agent of the Cuban Revolutionary Junta,
revolutionists in the Province Of San
tiago on Monday captured FL Caney. the
battle-ground Netween Gen. Skaters army
and the Spaniards in the Spanish-American
war and the scene of the charge of the Rough
Riders.
A cable to Col. AQuirre yesterday says
that on Monday Gen. Dubua, a rich mine
owner of Santiago Province, who has taken
the field with nearly a thousand men, des-
patched Col, Quintana with 200 men from
his camp in the mountains to capture FL
Caney. This town is not far from Santiago
City, the largest city in eastern Cuba, and
was defended by a considerable force Of
rural guards. Quintana attacked early
on Tuesday morning. After a two hours
fight he occupied the town. most Of the
rural guards fleeing TOWARD Santiago.
Qu%intana's force killed ten Of them, now
ever, and captured forty. Two of Quin-
tana's men were killed and four wounded.
Col. Aguirre took occasion to deny yes
teTday that the Junta was buying or fitting
out any steamships to attempt a capture
Of the steamship Maria Herrera, which
is now loading with munitions OF war for
the Palma forces.
Senator Fonts and Capt. Mario Cavillo
ALBANIA, the Government repr e~sentatives
here, feel sure, however, that the Junta
is now making efforts to equip flibusters
and also TO cut of and capture the Her
rera.
There are persistent reports that agents
OF the Junta are now negotiating for the
purchase Of two vessels which will be loaded
with arms, and if they can get away from
New York will lie in wait for the Herrera
and attempt her capture on the high seas.
The Maria Herrera, it is expected, will
be ready TO sail by Monday or Tuesday.
Loading went on briskly yesterday, some
POO boxes Of Remington rifles and 300 boxes
each containing 1900 rounds Of ammu-
milton being aiken on board. Calling
guns and mountain quick frers will be put
on later in the week, along with a large
quantity Of tents stoves, pouches. sad
dies. hospital supplies and other material
necessary to an army in the field.

LABELLING or NEAT PRODUCTS.
Secretary Wilson and Representatives or
Beef Packers Reach n Compromise.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ~6.-Secretary of Ag-
riculture James Wilson and the representa-
tives Of the beef packers have reached a
compromise on the question OF labelling
meat products. about which several con-
ferences were held here last week. Under
the pure food law enacted at the last session
Of Congress each food product must con-
tain the names and percentage of the com
ponent parts of the product. The basis
of the compromise reached is that the
names of the constituents of the meat food
product will be placed on the label Of the
can but that the percentage will not be
required.
The board having in hand the preparation
OF regulations under which the pure food
act will be enforced held an important
meeting to-day. Tentative regulations
we're completed and placed before the Sec
retaries of Agriculture, Of Commerce and
Labor and Of the Treasury for signature.
Consideration was given a request that
the regulations should be made public.
1t was decided that the new rules
should not be given out until after the
meeting OF the board in New York on Sep
tember II. when a hearing will be held for
the benefit of all interests concerned.

CHARGES AGAINST RAILROADS.
ONE INVOLVES VIOLATION OF
the NEW RATE LAW.
The Baltimore and Ohio and the United
states Express Company Are the DE.
PENDANTS Rivalry Between the Rail-
road and the Trolley Companies.

WASHINGTON, Sept. GA complaint OF
u usual interest, involving an allege1
violation of the new railroad rate act, was
to-day filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Tn etition attracted atten-
ton because II was the first one received
here in which a railroad ompan and an
express company are named a. joint de-
PENDANTS, and brought out in a striking
way that in Pennsylvania there Is rivalry
between trolley lines and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.
The complainant is J. E. Walker OF Media,
Pa, and he is proceeding before the COM
mission against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Com-any and the United States
Express Company. Media, Hockessin and
several other communities in the Keystone
State, and some in Delaware anxiously
await the outcome. The circumstances
recited in the complaint are substantially
as follows
For several years the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company and the United States
Express Company have operated a sort Of
local parcels post system between several
towns in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The
charge for carrying packages ranges from
five to fifteen cents, according to the weight
Of the package. Hockessin is one Of the
towns that enjoy the benefits Of this inter-
city parcels post. In 1902 a trolley road
was built that reached Hockessin. For
some time afterward travellers on the troll
ley road had the privilege Of the package
express system, but last year the defendants
began to refuse to carry packages for per-
SONS whom their agents detected riding on
the trolley cars. The complainant wants
a hearing in the case.
All the railroads in the United States have
a grudge against Wichita, according to three
complaints filed with the commission to-
day by the Johnson Larimer DRY Goods
Company Of that lively Kansas town. The
complaints allege that the defendant rail-
roads. which include all the roads running
into Wichita and those having Wichita con-
nections, charge unreasonable rates on cot
ton goods from Kansas and discriminate
against Wichita in favor of st. Louis, Chi
ago, Omaha and Kansas City. Under
these complaints the commission will be
called upon to exercise its rate making
power.
Western railroads rave discovered that
certain competitors stole a march on them
just before the new rate regulation act
became effective. Under the old law a
rate could be changed on three days notice
to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The new law requires thirty days notice
of an intention to change or modify a tariff,
Some Of the roads got busy during the
last week Of the life of the old law and
changed rates right and left. lowering
them in nearly every instance. Hum
dreds of applications rave been received
by the commission during the last few days
asking for authority to meet these reduced
rates. Affirmative action has been taken
by the commission in every such case.

DigtVTbcd, hut city Wants 20 Per Tent
The city Ia likely in a short time to come
in for a windfall OF at least 81 90 90,
Comptroller Metz said yesterday, because
Of q discovery which has been made In
his Office that the city Is entitled to an in
terest in property on Coney Island.
Thomas +. Byrnes, appraiser OF real
est1ts in the Finance Depart nent, made
the find, and sa sure Is Mr. Metz OF the valid
ity Of the municipalities claim that he said
yesterday:
Its just like finding money In the street. y
. The money il to he derived from Coney
Island lands, which according to Mr.. Byrnes
will in a short time b. worth at least
81, 200, 900. The Borough Gas Company, which
supplies Coney Island with light, wanted
a new gigantic holder for gas and bought
a piece OF land about 300 feet by 200 from
the Children's Aid Society. which owns
land at Coney Island running from the
ocean to Coney Island creek.
The gas company found that there was a
daw in the title because the Ia d was part
OF the city property which John Y. McKane
turned over TO various persons without
any deeds.
Appraiser Byrnee hearl Of the deal.
looked up the holdings n found that
the city could make a claim On nearly a
mile Of land from Harway avenue over
to Norton's Point, and lying back OF Nep-
tune avenue. He notified the Borough
Gas Company the city would want at least
30 per cent. of the purchase money,
which was about Sll 900. The city will
get about S. 900 more, perhaps, If the quit
claim proceedings hould 10 'ce up the
price.
Appraiser Byrncs estimates that the city
will nave more than 81 700, OcO interest IN
4 1000, 900 worth of property on Coney Island
Creek back of Surf avenue. He says
that 80 far as he has been able TO dig ar
the records and make his researches, whicl
ave entailed "A lot of work and Will entail
considerable more, the cty owns a pretty
good interest in all the land lying behind
Surf avenue and on Coney Island Creek
from Harway avenue TO a point east OF
Norton's Point. Some of it lies under water
now, but il can be easily filed in.
Mr.. Byrnes explained yesterday that
McKane'S deals, by which he sold the clty's
lands, will be allowed so far as the purchaser
goes, in that the purCn6 ser Will own the
property, but the city will have a claim, and
a good sized one. He regards it al 80 per
cent and he is certain that with the improve
ments he believes will be shortly made on
the land that $1,000 600 is not a high valua-
ton to place on il. Mr.. Metz will place
the matter in the hands of the Corporation
Counsel a. once.
