SEGAR TIE-UP IN HAVANA
 Strike Closes All the Shops.

There is a most complete tie-uu Of the segar industry in Havana on account of the striking segar mak- CTS, and no prospect of settlement is in sight
 The supply of imported segars in this country is being exhausted but smokers need borrow no trouble over this fact.
 The wise ones know that hun- dreds of the most skillful segar makers are now employed in Tam pa, where wages are better, and where much of the finest Cuban grown tobacco is rolled into se- gars.
 The two duties Specific and ad valorem) on segars made in Cuba, amount to about 90 per cent. Thus the smoker saves nearly one-half in buying Tampa made Havana sesars.
 We receive direct shipments from Tampa every ten days. Fl Teano" is the leading brand. "El Teano" comes in 27 sizes from 10c. to 500. each. Reduction by the box.

ABE HUMMEL DRIVES ID PRISON IN AUTOMOBILE Off to Blackwell's Island to Serve Year Behind
 Bars. TO WORK IN BAKERY Drove for Three Hours About City and Then
 Surrenders.

New York, May 20.-In large tour ing car Abraham Hummel left his home in East 72d street to-day to go to Blackwell's Island to serve a year i'll the penitentiary for conspiracy in the celebrated Dodge- Morse divorce case. A few years ago Hummel had an exten- sive practice as a lawyer, having as clients many well known actors ana actresses, but his conduct of the now famous divorce case resulted in disbar- ment as well as the humiliation he suf- fered to-day.
 His method of going to the peniten- tiars was almost on a par With his farewell dinner given few nights ago, at which he bade good bye to about 8 dozen friends prior to his temporary re- tirement. About 100 curious spectators and reporters were gathered in front Of his residence at ii a. m. to-day when MT Hummel endeavored to depart for BlackweH's Island without observation. | An automobile had been standing at t!,e curb for several hours when one of MT Hummel's s friends left the house and entering the machine, whisked away The spectators followed it a short distance and returned to the house lust as it drew up to the curb again and Hummel, holding handker- chief before his face to prevent snap shot picture, ran from the basement door, jumped into the tonneau and was whirled away.
 For about three hours he took ride around the city and then surrendered himself to a deputy sheriff, who took Blackwelrs Island. He will be put at him by an unfrequented route to work in the bakery.

ORCHARD TRIAL POSTPONED
Self-confessed Slayer Will Not Be
Tried for Some Months.
Cases at Boise to he Decided Before
mt Caldwell.

Boise, Idaho, June 1I-No progress was
made in the Haywood murder trial to-
day. It was necessary for Judge Wood
to go 10 Caldwell TO adjourn the trial Of
Harry Orchard, which had been set for
to-day in Canyon County. The proceed
ings were very brief and purely formal.
The case was adjourned for the term
and Orchard remanded to the custody Of
Warden Whitney of the penitenuary. in
whose care he has now been for a year
and q half. Orchard was taken 70 Cald-
well on the early morning train accom-
panied by several guards, and at G
O'Clock this evening was again in the
penitentiary here
The courtroom at Caldwell was crowd
ed with throng of curious persons who
wanted to see the man who had made
such an extraordinary confession Of
crime.
Judge Wood appointed Frank T. Wy
man to defend Orchard when his trial
really comes off, but 1t is not likely that
Wyman will have anything to do for a
long time. Orchard will certainly not he
tried until all the cases of men against
whom he may appear as a witness have
been disposed of.

CUMHINS IS FOR ROOSEVELT
Iowa Governor Says West Will In
sist on Another Term.
Declares Corporation Control and
Not Tariff VIII Be Issue in the
Next Campaign.

Pittsburg. Pa. June 17-ACCOrding 10
Gov. Albert B. Cummins. Of Iowa, who
spent a few hours in Pittsburg to-day on
his way to his old-hQme town, Waynes-
burg. Pa, the entire West will be for
President Roosevelts reelection. In part
Gov. Cummins said:
"The people Of the West are strongly
in favor Of the denomination Of President
Roosevelt, and 1 believe that when the
next Republican National Convention
meets he will be the nominee, and the
campaign to follow will result in his
triumphant election.
I believe that the regulation Of corpo-
rations. not tariff, viii be the paramount
issue in the next Presidential campaign.
and for that reason alone President
Roosevelt must be the nominee of his
party.
While I feel that Senator Knox is
well qualified 20 discharge the duties Of
President of the United States, and not
withstanding the fact that he received tho
Endorsement Of the Republicans of the
great Keystone State. the people of the
country at large are So pronounced in
their views for the retention Of Theodore
Roosevelt in the Presidency that l feel
that Pennsylvania will have to fall in
line and help make the thing unanimous.
L feel positive that even though the
President has declared against accepting
another term, his wish will not be re
speCted, and In response TO the public de-
mand he must heed the call and stay in
the White House four years longer"

Nation as EngIand's Motive.

Berlin June 1.-THE impression made
on the German press by the Anglo-French-
Spanish dreibuud Is that its whole effect
is most probably aimed at the further
isolation of Germany; the Vossische Zei-
tung. for example. believes that it aims
indirectly 10 influence Italy to seCede
from the triple alliance, while the Taeg-
lische Rundschau calls it anything but
friendly to Germany.
The Tageblatt thinks it another addition
to the wall of paper English Is building
round Germany, which may eventually
give place to a wall OF iron.
The Deutsche Tageszeitung terms II
another link In the chain of treaties
made with the view Of destroying Ger
many's influence in world politics. and
saws that it will especially relieve England
Of the necessity Of increasing her navy.
The Reichsbote attributes the existence
Of the dreibund 20 the new trcdty-makinE
mania and treaty-hunger Of King Ed
ward
The Borsen Courier calls it the Youngest
child OF the entente Cordiale. drawn in
accordance with the new Anglo French
policy of insuring their respective posses
sions.
II is officially announced that the Ger
man-Spanish commercial agreement has
been indefinitely prolonged.
