Western Magnate Denies Having In

Sugar Refining company, tes-
tiefid In San Francisco Saturday be-
fore United States Commissioner
Richards In regard to the relations
existing between his company and the
American Sugar Refining company. OF
New York, the so-called Havemeyer
sugar trust. It was established by his
testimony that Havemeyer and his
men own a large block Of stock in the
Western Sugar Refining company. but
he denied either he or his father,
Claus Spreckles, had any interest in
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany. He declared the price OF sugar
on the coast is held low enough to
prevent competition from Havemeyer.
except in a few special grades, which
the Western does not make.
Spreckles' testimony is to be used in
the suit brought by the receiver Of the
Pennsylvania Sugar company against
the American company for $4,000
900 damages as a result Of the Have
meyer interest getting control of the
Pennsylvania concern and shutting
down the plant. One suit Is both for
conspiracy and violation of the Sher-

GRAND JURY AT DEADWOOD.
Five Indictments Against Indians for
Sale Of Liquor.

With Judge J6hn e. Garland, of
Sioux Falls, on the bench, the United
States district court is in session at
Deadwood. While no important cases
are on the docket, the session promises
10 last nearly two weeks and is mem
orable for it's size, as there are over
400 witnesses and others connected
with the term there and more on the
way. 1t is the official opening of the
handsome new federal building in
Deadwood.
h grand jury on its first sitting of
a few minutes returned five true bills,
all against Indians. Shorty Thigh,
William Fine Eyes and Stone Arrow
are each indicted for bringing liquor
onto the Rosebud reservation, and over
fifty Indians are there to testify in the
cases. Peter Soldier is accused OF
stealing a suit of clothes from anoth-
CT Indian on the same, reservation,
while Roam Horse is indicted for al
ieged horse stealing. Several other in
dictments, especially in a number of
cattle rustling cases, which U. S.
Marshal Bullock has been tracing, are
expected some time this week, and the
five men indicted, all having pleaded
not guilty, will be tried at once.
One case that promises some impor-
lance, the trial of George B. McPher-
son. charged with illegally fencing t.
$50 acres of government lane in the
southeastern part of the state, went
over until the next term at Sioux
Falls.

CUBA COSTS MILLIONS.

Expenses of Army of Publication
$2,564,o7O for 1907.
It cost the American government So
654,97O, in addition to the regular ordi-
nary expense, to keep the American army
OF Cuban pacifcation in that island dur
ing the fiscal year of 1907. This fact is
shown in the annual report of Gen. Ale
shire, quartermaster general of the army.
OF the mount stated $1,O15,3S3 was
spent for transportation.
Gen. Aleshire devotes a few words to
the work of the quartermaster's depart
ment n its ramifications over a great
portion of the world covered by the Unit
ed States and it's territorial possessions,
at the same time pointing out that the
strength Of the corps consisted of but
ninety-six commissioned officers and 200
post quartermaster sergeants, in addition
to seventy-six line officers who were de-
tailed in connection with the departments
work.
The general points out the urgent ne
cessity for such an increase in the num-
Der of commissioned officers as will relieve
the department from the necessity of call
ing upon line officers to perform its du-
ties; also for an increase in the num-
bSA w poSl qudIl eHuldSleE SerSedulS anu
the creation of a general service corps for
the work of the department.
Gen. Aleshire expresses the opinion that
the limit Of cost, now $4,000 for build
ings, which can be constructed without
special authority of Congress ought to be
increased to 100000. This is especially
urgent with reference to hospitals.
He says hat carefully prepared statis-
tics show that the prices of nearly all the
lumber used in ordinary construction have
advanced fully 100 per cent since 1904.
and the higher grades of finishing lum-
Der even more than that.
Because it is economical the bulk of the
coal required for the trans-Pacific trans
port service is procured at Nagasaki,
Japan, where upon the return trip to the
United States all transports take aboard
coal to their cargo capacity. The coal
ing is done very rapidly, as much as 3,O63
tons having been put aboard in a work
Ing day of ten hours.
