TROOPS IN CUBA
 TAKE HIGH RANK
Have Done No Fighting, But Are Cream of the
 Whole Army,

HAVANA, May 23.-The army on Cuban pacification, after the bloodless campaign of six months. may fairly take rank as the crack corps of the forces of the United States.
 Without having been called upon to fire short or make a single hostile demonstration it has to it's credit a list of achievements of which it's men are proud.
 Among its moral triumphs have been the maintenance of standard of dis cipline and sanitation of more than Japanese excellence and the preserya- tion of perfect self-control while in contact with an unsympathetic popu- lation.
 Its greatest material achievement has been the production, based on countless reconnaissances and sur veys. of chart of the island of Cuba, which officers declare to me the most minuteiy perfect military map in ex- istence. With the completion of this work the possibility of successfully carrying on guerilla tactics such as formerly enabled the Cubans indefi- nitely to prolong their revolution against the overwhelming forces of Spain may be said to have vanished.
 The army of Cuban pacificauon, which originally numbered G500 men of all arms, without including ma rines, has now dwindled by the nat ural process of discharges on eXpira- ticn of enlistments to about $500 men.
 There are also under General Bar rvs command 1000 marines. These l. was proposed to withdraw, but on account of the difficulty of obtaining sufficient to fill up the ranks Of the army they will be retained in compliance with the request of Gen erll Barry, who believes that his force is none too large as it is.
 Of these troops nearly 2000 are in Camp Columbia from the garrison of Havana, and the remaind- CT are scattered over the island in thirty posts, eleven of which are oc- cupied by marines

maintained an exclusive domination Of the petroleum industry" It is stated that in 19O4 the Stand ard and affiliated concerns refined over S4 per cent of the crude oil run through the refineries; produced more than SC per cent of the country's total output of Illuminating oil and transported through pipe lines near. ly nine-tenths of the crude oil of the older fields and 9S per cent of the crude oil of the mid-continental fields.
 The report points out that the mon opoly enjoyed by the company does not rest upon the ownership of the source of the oil supply, which amounts to only about one-sixth or the total, but that its growth and present power rests primarily upon the control of the transportation fa- cilities.
 After the railroad rebate was aban- doned, the company tne re.u.. ,...l- tin1es. was able to establish a sys- tem Of secret or open discriminations CT rates in it's favor throughout prac- ueally the entire country. Having es- tablished its monopoly of the pipe line business, the company subst2n- uaLy refuses to act as common car rier5
 It is claimed that the Standard cons trols not only, the wholesale. but also the retail trade in oil.

GOVERNMENT PROBER
 FLAYS STANDERD OIL

WASHINGTON, May 23.-That the history and present operation of the Standard oil interest show through. out the past thirty-five years a sub stantial mOnopolization of the petro- leum industry of the eoutry, a delib- crate destruction of competition and a consequent control of that industry by less than dozen men, who have reaped enormous profits therefrom, largely through abuse of transporta- tion facilities" is charged in a re- port just submitted to the President by Commissioner of Corporations Her bert Knox smith. Part of the report was made public today and the UIner parts will follow.
 Certain information acquired is withheld for the present, in accord ance with instructions from the Pres ident, who feels that publication might interfere with the prosecution Rf the goyernmentis suits pending against the Standard Oil company and it's subsidiary companies. The report contains the net results of a study of the petroleum business dur ing the year 1894.

MAD WOLF PUTS
 CROWD ID TERROR

NEW YORE, May 23.-A big wolf thai apparently had gone mad ip the enclosure at the Bronx zoo endan. gered the lives of women and cbil. dren, who in patches of hundreds had taken advantage of the sunshine and gone for holiday trip through the quarters of the animals. Snapping right and left, the animal raced down the main path of the zoo.
 The wolf broke through the wire. nimbly leaped over the fence ana ran down the pathway. On the walk baby carriages were being rushed to the entrance. Men grasped breath less women and hurried them away. Suddenly the wolf dashed from be hind a bush, shot past his pursuers, and went over the ten foot fence of the elk enclosure. The wolf got his teeth in the throat of an elk, and ripped the big fellows flesh so cruel ly that the elk dropped.
 Then a zoo keeper took careful aim and with a revolver oT heavy calibre sped three bullets into the body of the wolf.

CLEVELAND, May 23.-President William Caniffe Of the New York, Chi cago & St. Louis Railroad company (Nickel PIate), believe in the reguia- ton of railroads by the nation and state, but regards the present activity of President Roosevelt as productive of harm to :he country in general. He thinks that railroad regulation should be accomplished by liberal conservatism, else i'll effects will be felt by the people.
 The pendulum is swinging in one direction now,". said President Can fife today, 'bu: it cannot fail to swing back; and when 1t swings back it is bound to swa. a good deal in tus other direction. I do not mean by that that we neel fear 9 financial panic, but I do mean simply that there will be a retarding of the pro gression of the last five years, for which the country will be the worse off.

EDDY SUIT OPENS WITH SHARP
 SKIRM|SH
Lawyer for Christian Science Leader Seeks to 0bliterate Original ComplainantS in Petition for Accounting.

CONCORD. N. H.. May 23.-Follow. ing several skirmishes, the first legal
 battle fought about Mrs. Eddy, the
 leader of the Christian Science de
 nomination, in connection with the
 suit in equity seeking an accounting
 of her property, was opened in the
 Merrimac County superior court to-
 day. The original suit is brought by
 Mrs. Eddy's son, George w. Glover. of
 Lead, $. D., his daughter. Mrs. Baker Glover. and George w. Baker. a nephew of Mrs. Eddy. and was brought in the name of the Christian Science leader by the three relatives acting as
 next friends" II is directed against Calvin A. Frye. Mrs. Eddy's secretary, and several other leaders of the church.
 Three trustees. Henry A. Baker. Archibald Mcclellan and Josiah E. Fernald were approved by Mrs. Eddy and empowered by a trust deed ex- ecuted by her to manage her property. The trustees petitioned the court to be substituted for the next friends" as plaintiffs in the suit.
 Today the hearing was upon the motion of the trustees that they be substituted for next friends" in the suit against Frye and the other de- tendants. General Frank $. Streeter. chief counsel for the defendants, oc- cupied the floor throughout the day. His argument was devoted principally to the contention that in order to ore vent the trustees from being substi- tuted for next friends the next friends must prove Mrs. Eddy's in- competency to execute a trust deed. General Streeter claimed it was the legal right of tine trustees to prosecute the suit against the defendants. The court said it would not consider Mrs. Eddy's competency at this time. The hearing will be resumed tomorrow.
