Excitement at Havana.

Havana, July Following the dis.
Quieting rumors yesterday of project
ed uprisingS in the provinces of
Oriente and Pinar Del Rio, the city
was thrown into intense excitement
early today when drums beat to quar-
ters in Castle La Fuerza, opposite the
presidential palace, and the garrison
of 200 men sailed forth and threw a
Gordon around the executives home.
The soldiers stood on the defensive
apparently to repulse an attack. Soon
afterward, nothing else having hap,
pened, the troops marched back to
their quarters. President Gomez later
explained that the maneuvers had
been ordered merely for the purpose
of seeing how quick the garrison
would surround the palace, in case OF
emergency.
The incident gave rise to rumors
that a revolution had broken out in
Havana and caused much alarm
There was some adverse comment or
the action of the president in order
ing the maneuvers at the time wher
so many alarming reports are abroad

Summoned Into Court, the Indiana
Labor Leaders Charged With Dyna-
hitting Conspiracy, Declare They
Were Not Extradicted for Murder.

Los Angeles, July 6.-The defense
in the Mcnamara dynamiting conspir-
acy case sprung to surprise today
when John j. Mcnamara, the accused
Indiana labor leader, and his brother,
James B., were called into Judge Bord.
wells department Of the superior
court.
Both men were summoned to plead
to nineteen charges of murder, the re.
suit of the destruction OF the Times
plant. In addition, John ]. Mcnamara
was expected to plead to the charge
Of conspiracy to destroy the Llewellyn
Iron works. Instead, he challenged
the jurisdiction of the court, claiming
that it had no right to exact plea on
either the nineteen charges of murder
or the Llewellyn Iron works indict
ment because he was extradicted from
Indianapolis not for murder, but fol
alleged dynamiting.
A motion for the quashing OF the
indictments was made by James Nc
Namara, who entered no plea what
ever.

LORDS TO LOSE POWER.
Amendments to Veto Bill are With
drawn or Rejected.

London, July THE consideration
of the veto bill for the curtalment of
the powers of the lords was concluded
in the house of lords. Although mum.
erous amendments were proposed by
members. all were withdrawn or re.
jeCted The debate throughout dis
played great reStiveneSS on the part
of the peers against their leaders and
there were significant differences in
opinion. Lord st. Aldrwyn, who as
Michael Edward Hicks was chancel
lor of the exchequer in 1885 and again
in 1S95.1902, the financial authority on
the conservative side, more than once
declined to vote with his party.
The house of lords shows the great
est reluctance to yield it's control of
money bills. AS the bill leaves the
of six members of the two houses
the power of deciding whether or not
any bill is a money bill-a power
which the government bill reposes in
the speaker of the house of commons
alone. Further the same committee
will have virtual power to refer any
important bill to a referendum of the
people.
July Is has been fixed by the lords
as the report stage and when the bill
goes back to the commons it is GER
tain that the amendments will be re-
!jected en- bloc. What course the lords
will then adopt is uncertain, but the
strongest influences are being brought
ITO bear from the strongest section OF
the unionist party to the peers, the
Headers forcing the government to in
woke the creation of 500 peers. After
clause two Of the parliament bill re
lating to bills other than money bills
was passed the debate proceeded on
a new clause, moved by Lord Cromer
providing for the appointment of a
joint committee Of the two houses to
determine the character of the bills
and to decide whether they come with
in the veto provisions differentiating
between general and monetary bills
leaving it to the speaker of the house
,Of commons alone to determine what
constitutes the latter and requiring
the house of lords to pass it without
amendment, within one month after
receiving the bill, otherwise it shall
