nouncing the Speaker for
His Gag Rules
Especial Dispatch to The Call

BOSTON, Mass. Dec. 4.-Arraigning
"Uncle joe Cannon in a vitrio1ic man
ner, practically charging the speaker
with the death of a thousand soldiers
who perished in the Spanish American
war and in the Philippines, Governor
Curtis Guild, in a magazine article pub
lished today, bitterly attacks the
speaker, his character and his methods.
Soldiers popping away with black
powder and obsolete rifles al the Span
ish army and Filipino rebels armed
with the latest Mausers and smokeless
powder died with gasping sobs, but
the enemy lay beyond the reach of their
rifles says the governor. "A thou
sand men died that way, and in un-
attended, uncared for. unsanitary
camps. Every one of them might have
been saved had not the infatuated
speaker prevented action by congress
on an emergency bill for arms and am
munition."
After attacking the speaker for his
gag rules his domineering methods
and his subservience to the trusts, the
governor says:
THE mills are stopping; the harbors
are clogged, shipping is dropping by
the wayside, and all of these things
can be blamed alone to the man who
let his jealousy of president stifie his
love of country"

Why Nation Can Not Quit

toni made a speech in the chamber of
deputies today in which he defended
his conduct of the foreign policy of
Italy during the recent trouble in the

from the triple alliance it would not be
able to find sufficient support in Europe
to guarantee the integrity of the realm.
Titoni said that a rapprochement be-

plished fact and that its Importance
would increase in the future.
Italian interests in the Balkans were

Haiti's Capital Today

PORT AU PRINCE. Dec. General

of Port au Prince awaiting until to-

antly at the head of his 5000 men.
Had it not been that today was Friday
a day that to superstitious Haitiens is
one of i'll omen. the 35 miles separa ting
them from the capital would have
proved no obstacle, and tonight the
victorious revolutionists would have
been within the city.
The delegation sent out from Port au
Prince yesterday met General Simon
today at the crossroads, where recently
the government troops were en-
trenched where he is lodged at the
Villa Monrepas. a fine house built by

assured the delegates that his men
were well disciplined and would make
a successful entry into Port au Prince.

! Simon is very popular. The better
classes are more reserved In their opin-
ion and would have preferred a man
more refined for the presidency. They
are resigned, however, to accept Gen
era1 Simon.

the interior, will embark at st. Thomas,
D. W. l., on a French mail steamer to-
morrow and proceed to Cape Haitien,
