 The testimony introduced revealed the fac, that tir family affairs of MT. and Mrs. Wood have been in a disturb. ,d state for some time, and that Wood and phipps have not been in the habit of exchanging courteous greetings as ,hey passca by for many months.
 From tke evidence 1t appears that about year ago Mrs. Wood parted xi,b her husband, and taking her fa. .ily with her. started a laundry, where she continued to do the laundry work far number of miners and families un. ,l about two months ago when she rented ,h.

MORE IMPORTATION NEEDED IN
 THE METH.
(Tfom Fsiday's Dsily)

(Fsom Fsidays Daily) Attorney General E. &. Clark, re. turned yesterday from m official visit to the northern counties of the terri. tory. Speaking of the join. statehood sen. timent in the north, the attorney gen. eral said:
 "During my visit to the northern counties l met and convcrsed with a great many people who are mistaken in many facts relative 10 joint state. hood, and have assumed an attitude favorable to 1t.
 "For instance,'' hc said, many were much surprised to learn that the total assessed valuation of all property in the territory of Arizona exceeded that of New Mexico by over 4l0, ,000,- 900, most of them believing that the New Mexico valuation exceeded that of Arizona.
 "Fcw of them knew that the terri. torial tax rate of New Mexico is more than double that of Arizona. Hardly any of them realize that the average county tax rate of New Mexico is much higher than the average county tax rate of this territory, and very few of them appear to be aware of the fact that while the territorial indebt. cdness of this territory is largely made up of the indebtedness of the several counties, which has been fund ed into territorial bonds, and which is included in our territorial debt, there is n heavy county indebted. ness in New Mexico in addition to the territorial debt"
 "There is also outstan nding in New Mexico large issue of so-called mil. itia warrants, exceeding, as is reliably reported, over $l,OOO,OO0. This being the case, it, of course. goes without saying that should New Mexico and Arizona ever adopt joint statehood the first act of the new state legislat. ure would be to fund the enormous county and militia warrant indebted. ness as the representation of New Mexico in the legislature would far exceed that of Arizona. Arizona would be thereby compelled to pay q very substantial share of New Mex ico's debts in addition 10 her own.
 "very few people in the north ap pear to be aware that although New Mcxico's population is nearly double that of Arizona, that New Mexico expends much less money annually ir her public schools than this terri tory. Under joint statehood, it is cas fly seen that if the New Mexico schools are to he graded up to the pre- sent standard of our schools that thi territory would he compelled to pa. n heavy tax for the maintenance O New Mexico's schools.'
 "whcn made these statements t some of the citizens they were surpri' ed. In my opinion there should he comparative statement complied fror the official records of both territorie by the joint statehood committee show ing the true facts with relation 10 th two territories and q copy of the sam placed in the hands of every voter | the territory.
 "It only requires n consideration q the facts to convince any resident q Arizona that joint statehood would b disastrous to this territory. No arg, ment is required. The facts are sui |, 6cient and no Arixonan can slider ther without becoming unalterably oppose to joint statehood.

(Tamna Tribune.l

DR.. Maixmo NJ. Diaz. who has just
returned from a months visit in Gu
ba. has many interesting things to
report regarding the situation there
and, in an interview with a represen-
tative of the Tribune, detailed the
conditions there at considerable
length.
Much of DR.. Diaz's time while in
Cuba was spent in the country, some
distance from Havana, in the terri
tory controlled by the insurgent
forces. The reports published con-
corning the destruction of property,
DIR. DiaZ says have been greatly ex-
aggerated. In very few instances
the insurgents burned crops or build
ings. The only things taken for their
own use were horses. which were
paid for by the insurgents. DR.. Diaz
says the rebellion could hardly be
called a revolution. 1t was simply
a protest against an over-conserva-
tive and representative government
of the island. 1t will be interesting
TO know that only 10 per cent. of the
revoluitnoists were provided with
guns and ammunition, the remainder
beping armed only with machetes.
His Train Was Stopped.
On one occasion, DR.. Diaz CHANGED
to be on a train which was stopped
by the insurgent forces. but none of
the passengers were molested in the
slightest degree, and the insurgents
took care to conduct themselves in
a way not to excite the apprehen-
sion of any one.
DR.. Diaz also spent fifteen days in
Havana, during which time he was
enabled to meet many OF the best
people on both sides The intelligent
people there say that Cuba Is now In
better condition since the United
States has taken a hand there than II
has been since the United States
turned the island over to the local
government
In the future, DR.. Diaz thinks, the
Government of the island will be
more satisfactory, as the liberal par
" Will have a chance to control the
policy of the nation. The Palma
regime. he says was little better than
the old Spanish rule.
DR.. DiaZ does not think that the
island will ever be annexed to the
United States.
Contrary to many stories told
around Tampa. DR.. Diaz says that
racial differences and jealOusies were
not among the causes of the revolu-
ton. lie also denies that the ranks
Of the insurgent army were largely
made nm Of negroes, The colored
race in Cuba takes very little part

A Marked Success.

The Charlotte, N. c., Observer has
the following TO say Of Sergeant
Kitty" which will be given here next
Friday night:
Miss Helen Byron, who played the
part of Sergeant Kitty in the military
comic opera OF that name last night,
is one of the most charming little ac-
tresses who has appeared in Charlotte
this season. She is a slight slip of a
girl, winsome in every mood and has
a clear, sweet voice. which reaches
to all parts of the house. A more
graceful and finished leading lady
could hardly have been found any
where Miss Byron suits the play
suits her. Sergeant Kitty is nothing
more than a musical production. 1t
claims to be nothing else and do moth
ing more than furnish three hours of
rare enjoyment. There is a thread OF
a plot running through the play but
it is not to be considered. The music
is catchy, with just enough of the
swing and nash of the military to
make it ring in ones head. There is
nothing firing about the production
Every line sparkles The songs are
new and fresh and the work of the
chorus far above the average The
large houses at the performance yes
terday afternoon and last night wer,
more than pleased with the play. Il
Sergeant Kitty were to be repeated
tonight the crowds would be equally
as large"

Shooting Gallery Secret.

Shooting Gallery Secret.
The shooting gallery man at Coney
Island was packing to go South for
the winter.
DO you see this glass ball?" he
said.
1t was a ball of hollow glass, an
airy glass soap bubble, that had
syung all summer at the end of a
thread in the foreground of the clay
pipes, bells and whatnot that had
made up the gallery's targets.
"This glass ball." the man went on,
'is my great moneymaker. All sum-
mer long people tried to hit this ball
it was bigger and nearer than any
other target-and everybody failed.
Thousands of bllets were fired at it;
thousands of nickels were spent on
it; yet here 1t is. still untouched
my best breadwinner.
Gail wise shooting gallery men
have a glass ball like this. 1t mSkes
such tempting target, yet 1t is new

London's 5000 spook.
What possibly may come to be
known as the $4,000 spook was mater
ialized by J. n. Maskelyne, whom
London has known and highly respe -
ed for forty years as q conjurer AM
exposer of spiritualistic frauds
Maskelyne's performance was n
response to a challenge issued last

were the work of spirits, and he did
no: consider that he was in am dan

sued his challenge.

CUBAN CONDITIONS

( in politics, but quietly attends 10 its
own affairs.
Palma People to Blame.
The Palma administration, Dr.
Diaz says, was largely TO blame for
the revolution by its antiquated and
unrepresentauive policy. Under the
circumstances, DR.. Diaz says, the
revolution was the best thing that
could have happened. On the other
hand, a peaceful settlement of the
difficulty could have been arranged,
had the government met the insur-
gents half way.
Cubans are bitterly opposed to an
nexation. They believe in Cuba for
the Cubans. They do not want their
island bought up by unlimited .Ameri-
can capital, to be the footstool of
trusts and monopolies. Cubans dis
like and fear Americans. however,
only from commercial and business
standpoint
DIR. Diaz Is positive that the fear
that the Cuban situation will serious
ly affect the cigar industry in Tam
pa is groundless.
Delayed One Week.
The tobacco crop was delayed only
one week, and will probably be an
unusually heavy one. This may also
be said of the other crops Even an
nexation, DR.. Diaz thinks, would not
hurt Tampa in the least. The cigar
industry is here to stay and the repu,
tation of the Tampa-made Havana
cigar is So great that it is enthroned

proverbial strength of Gibraltar"

"The Player Maid"

"The Player Maid"
Considerable interest is centered in
the forthcoming engagement of Flor
ence Davis, supported by Elliott Dex-
ter in THE Player Maid, owing to
the fact that Miss Davis will present
this overwhelmingly funny comedy in
this city with the same strong cast,
magnificent costumes and elaborate
scenic effects that have been utilized
since its initial performance.
The play itself has a well-defined
plot, but an exceptionally funny one
Ludicrous situations follow each other
in rapid succeSsiOn-so fast in fact
that one has not stopped laughing at
a funny incident when something else
occurs that causes a roar far greater
than the preceding one. In the second
act of THE Player Maid" where Miss
Davis tears UP furniture, bTic-a-bUaC,
etc, in her attempt to horrify the
staid London nobility, she has given
to the stage one of the funniest scenes
in the history of the drama.
AS an artist, Miss Davis has few
equals and unlike many others, she
never stoops to buffoonery. Her
knowledge of stage technique enables
her to get real, unadulterated fun out
of the situations-fun that sparkles
and goes with a vim and snap, and
such opportunities she has to display
her talents.
Miss Davis is ably assisted by Ell
lott Dexter and a capable company.
Much can be said of Mr. Dexter, who
