CUBAN ARMY DISORGANIZED.
Officers Say President Gomez Has
Caused Grave Condition.

Havana, July 29.-The process Of
putting the permanent army under
proper discipline has been greatly
hampered by the INSTRUMENTATION of
the enlisted men, especially the colored
troops, and chickering's between white
and cOlOred officers.
Charges involve General Rovas.
commander of the infantry brigade;
Colonel Naliente, commanding the
First infantry, and other high officers.
for the trial of whom several courts
martial have been ordered.
President Gomez, desiring to check
the threatened DISCRIMINATION. visited
Camp Columbia, where Il majority of
the troops are Quartered. After listen
ing to the complaints the president or
dcrcd all court martial proceedings
summarily quashed. He then ordered
that all enlisted men confined on
charges of INSTRUMENTATION be released.
The presidents action has caused
much resentment among officers of all
classes, many of whom openly declare
that it will have the effect of intensi-
flying the spirit of INSTRUMENTATION al
ready rampant among the rank and
file. 1t is calculated, they say, to pre-
cipitate the gravest results.
The situation is regarded as addi-
tionally serious in view of the depar-
ture of Major General Pine Guerra, the
commander of the army, who sails
for the north on Saturday to arrange
for the purchase of arms.

BRITISH MINERS VOTE STRIKE
Overwhelming Majority of Confedera.
ton For Aiding Scottish Workers.

Overwhelming Majority of confedera.
ton For Aiding Scottish Workers.
London, July 29.-The balloting Of
the members of the Miners Confedera-
tiOn of Great Britain to decide
whether or not national strike should
be declared in support of the Scottish
miners, who are resisting a wage re-
duction of siXpence day, resulted in
51S,361 men voting in favor of gen.
eral strike. Only 62,9S0 voted against
the strike.
This unmistakable determination Of
the men to support their Scottish col
leagues and the apparently equally
determined refusal Of the employers to
agree to the miners terms render the
work of Intermediates very difficult.
Another conference between the en-
ployers and the men will be held at
the board of trade under the chair
manship of Winston Spencer Church
ILL., and unless compromise is then
reached a general industrial upheaval
appears inevitable.

MOORS FIGHT DESPERATELY.
Two Hundred Spaniards Killed or
Wounded In Last Battle.

Mclilla. Morocco, July 29.-The Of
fetal report of the last battle shows
that ii was the most sanguinary con
tested and cost the Spanish forces
more than 200 dead and wounded, the
slain including General Pintos, two
lieutenant colouels commanding naval
contingcnts and large number OF
other officers.
The Moors destroyed several hun
dred yards of railroad connected with
the mines, which isolated the extreme
Spanish post. AS ii was imperative to
restore communication. convoy es-
cortcd by two strong columns was sent
out in command of General Pintos. 1t
occupied the outlying spurs of the
giant mountains Guruga.
While the convoy was communicate
, ing with and rcproviSioning the sta
tions the Spaniards sustained a ter
rife fusillade from thousands of
MOors. who first fired from the fast
nesses of the mountain and then boldly
charged in the face of Il murderous as
sault by the Spanish artillery. Spanish
officers describe the Moorish loss as
enormous.
Re-enforcementS were hurriedly sent
to the convoy and its escort. and these
succeeded in rcpulsing the Moors and
driving them back to the hills.

ever, the government decided to keep
the reserves in the home garrisons,
and charitable people came forward to
care for the unprotected wives and
children.
Advices from the front state that the
holy war sentiment is spreading among
the interior tribes, who, so soon as
their troops are gathered, are expected
to flock to the coast and join the Riff
tribesmen.
While Spain is convinced that she
has Il huge task on her hands, it ia
claimed by the government that Il big
army N'll soon crush the Moors. and
1t is considered fortunate that thu
tribes are concentrating ut Melilla in
stead Of forcing the Spanish troops to
penetrate into the wild and unknown
interior

WRIGHT TO TRY AGAIN TODAY
Army Grants Time Extension In View
of Weather Conditions.

ARMY STdnIS lTne EELeHSlOn IN view
of Weather Conditions.
Washington, July 29-The final test
of the Wright aeroplane, delayed by n
persistent wind and suddenly discov-
cred stoppage in the gasoline feed pipe
of the motor, will take place today.
Orville Wright says he will surely ac-
compllsh his final cross country two
man test of the aeroplane.
After he had waited in supposed
readiness for the start for an hour,
with the aeroplane on the monorail at
Fort Myer, the wind died down at last
to little more than whisper, and
then it was discovered that the fuel
feed was obstructed.
The army officials have granted him
three days additional time for the test,
tract having expired.
The failure of the trial disappointed
an immense crowd. including Presi-
dent Taft and practically all of the
most prominent government officials.
All along the course laid out for the
trial people were gathered, on foot and
horseback and in vehicles of every
conceivable character. At Shutter hill,
Just outside of the city of Alexandria,
where the turning point was located,
was assembled what must have been Il
fair quorum of the people of that COM
munity.
The crowd at Shutter hill was Il Sc
rious embarrassment to the officers in
charge of the trial. They had with
them only n small cavalry detail, and
they found it impossible to keep the
people off the great space which they
intended to reserve as Il landing place
for the aeropane in case it was neceS-
sary for the avators to alight.
In addition to the aspects of the un-
prcccdcnted flight as Il spectacle, there
is we'll understood to be an element of
altitude of from 80 to $50 feet above
the sharply rolling country.
Officers of the signal corps have been
over this ground repeatedly in bal
looms, but no one. not even either of
the Wrights, has ever been over it i'll
a heavier than air machine, and the air
currents which will affect such flight
are practically unknown.
Wright has discovered in his cir
cults of the parade ground at Fort
NIycr that trees and buildings and
even the contour of the ground pro-
| foundly influence the currents of air.
! He has no chart to show with what
/ whirlpools and eddies of atmosphere
he will have to contend with on this
thrilling journey.
The course will be marked by bright
yellow cylindrical captive balloons
All along the road between Fort Myer
and the turning point Il relay series of
mounted soldiers in khaki will sit on
their horses.
1t is to be their duty, in case of ac.
cident. to hasten to the fallen machine
and then bear word posthaste back to
the fort.
The farmers, white and negro, down
the way view the whole affair with
mingled emotions. Many of them are
chiefly afraid that Wright will drop in
! through their humble roofs or, what
they feel would be more serious, work
havoc in fields and gardens. They
dread the new bird of the air.

HOUSE TO GET BILL TOMORROW

Washington, July 29.-After work
ing for nearly three weeks ut what
proved to be one of the longest and
most arduous tasks ever experienced
In tariff building the majority mem
bers of the conference committee on
the Paync-Aldrich bill have brought
their labors to Il sudden close.
Without moments delay the SEN
ate and house leaders whose names are
carried by the bill started away by au-
tomobile with the intention of laying
their report before President Taft.
Returning from the conference,
Nessrs. Aldrich and Payne seemed to
be entirely satisfied with the outcome
of their mission, although neither
would discuss the conclusions that
were reached.
The Democratic members Of the con-
ference committee We're called into
session ut 10 o'clock today. 1t is the
first time they have taken part in the
conference, and this Is only because its
work is over, and they are invited to
hear the results.
In view Of President Tafts utter
ances, senate and house leaders are
predicting that the conference rates ON
gloves and lumber will not prove sat
isfactory to him. At the same time it
is recognized that conditions are such
that unless compromises are made by
the confcrees it will be many days be-
fore Il report can be made. 1t required
Il roll call to fix the rates on lumber,
which are as follows:
Lumber. rough. S1.40 Thousand
feet. The house rate was 81 and the
senate rate S1.5O. The senate differ
entails were adopted. making lumber
planned on one side dutiable at $1,90,
two sides $2.15. three sides S2.52la and
four sides $500. The senate rates on
lnth and shingles. which were higher
than the house rates, also were adopt
ed.
Gloves were made dutiable at rates
considerably I'm advance of the duties
fixed by the senate bill which for the
most part were the same as the Ding
ley rates. The conference rates are ms
follows: Women'S and children's
gloves. valued at not more than ~ Il
dozen. $3.50 Il dozen: valued at more
than 81 but not more than S12 dozen
81 Il dozen: valued Mt more than 81
Il dozen. 80 per cent ad valorcm. The
"schmaschen' glove of sheep origin
which is the cheapest glove manufac
tured was made dutiable at 81 {
dozen. This is Il heavy reduction from
the house rates, which made all glove,
dutiable at 81 Il dozen. and is even less
than the senate rate of $1.25 and the
Dingley rate of $1.75 per dozen.
The print paper schedule was re
opened and the rate fixed at $3.15 {
ton. This is only % cents less thai
the senate rate and $1.75 more thar
the house rate.
If the report is laid before the hous'
tomorrow, according to the presen
program, it will be printed and takel
up on Saturday. 1t is not believed
that the house will discuss it more
than one day. If this estimate of tim
proves correct the senate may begiI
with the report on Monday. 1t is be
lieved that it can be disposed of mex
week.

At the same time Thaw showed
ssrong reluctance to letting his wife
take the stand and had his attorney in
woke the privilege of confidential rela-
tions to bar her.
Susan Merrill, who was the main
witness so far against Thaw, was in
court. but did not take the stand.
Thaw swore that her most damaging
charges against him were mtrue. She
will probably take the stand again

The state also expects to put on its
three aiienists to tell their impressions
regarding Thaw's mental condition

ABOUT CREAMERIES.

ABOUT CREAMERIES.
A Warning Against Impractical
Creamery Promoters - The
United States and State De-
partments of Agri culture
Ready toGiveAssistance Along
all Dairy Lines.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
There has lately appeared in
this State a firm of creamery
promoters who are trying to Sc
cure stock for cooperative cream
cries, the plan being to get so or
60 men to subscribe $1O0each for
the purpose of building and
e9uipping a creamery. The writ
er's experience teaches that there
is no place in the State where it
is safe to put two or three thous-
AID dollars into such a plant,
much less five or six thousand.
The cows must come before the
screamery, not the creamery be-
fore the cows. 1t is not safe to es-
tablish a creamery unless there
is the promise of the products
from at least 400 cows and these
COWS must be close enough to the
creamery, from two to six miles,
so that the expense of getting
the cream or milk to the plant is
not too great.
At no place in the State is
there a sufficient number of cows
to warrant the building of five
or six thousand dollar creamery. A
number of such creameries were
built in Georgia last year, none
of which could be called a success
and most have been failures;
some today are not even run
ming.
The writer is anxious to see
creameries established in North !
Carolina and is doing all he can
to advance the dairy industry,
but an unsuccessful creamery
would kill every spark of dairy
interest in the community of |
which it was a part.
Remember that the United |
States and the StateDepartments
of Agriculture stand ready to
give assistance and advice along
all dairy lines, creameries includ-
ed. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is prepared
to furnish plans and estimates of
building. A creamery for hand |
ling hard separated cream, with
out an ice plant, will cost about
,S3OOO;with ice plant, about $4,000. |
The writer will be glad to assist
any community in organizing a
creamery, provided there is
sufficient number of COWS to war
rant the undertaking. Remem-
Der that all plans, advices and
personal assistance are absolute
ty free, coming through your
State and National Departments
OF Agriculture.

J. A. Conover,
