No BIuejackets Yet Landed on
Cuban Territory.
FLEET STILL AT KEY WEST
Negro Commander Demands OF Gov
eminent Repeal of Morua Law, Pro-
hibiting Organization of Negro
Political Party.

Washington, May 20 With the
stage all set for the United States to
step into Cuba to perform police duty,
the situation, so far as Washington is
concerned, hangs upon the intentions
Of the leaders Of the negro revolt in
the island republic Seven hundred
and fifty marines have arrived at Guam
tanamo Bay on the Prairie and the
mobilization Of half the Atlantic fleet
at Key West Is proceeding without a
hitch.
Yet, so far as the navy department
is informed, not n single bluejacket or
marine has yet set foot on Cuban soil
the Guantanamo Bay naval station
being construCtively American terri
tory. Furthermore, no orders have
been sent any officer of the navy or
marine corps to send, any men into
Cuban territory, nor is such an order
under consideration at the moment.
Neither have orders been issued or
taken under consideration for the dis
patch Of the Atlantic fleet from Key
West within week. The fact is that
a.
standstill so far as the United States
government Is concerned.
Advices from Cuba state that the
government troops do not seem to be
seeking out the negroes to dispense
them, while the negroes are assduous-
ly avoiding encounter with President
Gomez troops. There, Is, however,
good deal Of pilIaging being INDUCED
In by the negroes. Positive Informal
ton came to the state department to
the effect that. contrary reports not
withstanding, there has been no de-
struction of valuable property in all
the disaffectcd regions.
Involuntary contributions have been
extracted by threats OF violence from
the manager Of the San Miguel sugar
mill to the extent of $1,000, while $5,-
600 was stolen from a Spanish ship in
El Caney Del Siiio.
Estenoz has begun a discussion with
the Gomez government, and 1t Is be-
lieved by many that President Gomez
will ultimately treat with the rebels.
Estenoz is demanding the repeal of the
Morua law. which prohibits the or
ganiZation OF negro political party.
Unless this demand Is complied with,
Estenoz has informed President
Gomez, he will demand money con-
tributions from the railroad owners
and owners Of large estates to prolong
the conflict.

COOKING VEGETABLES.
Use Uncovered Utensils Except For
Dried Beans or Peas.

Two mistakes are commonly made
in preparing vegetables for the table:
The first Of these is the practice OF
keeping the vessel tightly covered dur
ing the entire process of cooking. This
is done usually with an idea of pre-
venting the dissemination of unpleaS-
ant odors through the house. But the
effect of it is directly the opposite. The
odors confined within the vessel grow
instead more rank with the chemical
changes that take place, and when the
vessel is opened occasionally. as it
must be. these extremely disagreeable
odors escape. Besides this, the vege-
tables themselves are made less dl-
gestble when cooked in this way, with
the exception Of dried beans or dried
peas.
The second mistake commonly made
is that of cooking vegetab les too long.
Instead of being made more tender by
prolonged cooking many vegetables are
made unpalatable and indigestible.
Cabbage, for instance, If cooked the
right length of time, is pleasing of
flavor and for most persons entirely
digestible, but If cooked too long it
causes indigestion and loses it's flavor.

SWORDS OF JAPAN.
Religious Rites Follow Every Process
of Their Making.

or TheIr Making.
The sword making of Japan is per-
haps the most curious in the whole
world. In that country swords said to
be equal to those Of Toledo or Damas-
Gus are made by a special series OF
processes. but a feature Of the industry
is the religious ceremonial that accom-
panies every process.
On the walls of the huts in which
the work is done are representations OF
the god of the sword makers and the
chief goddess Of the Shintos. There
are also bits of paper and wisps Of
straw, charms to keep away evil spir-
its. No female is allowed to enter the
place. as the presence of women Is sup
posed to be conducive to the appear
ance Of demons, who would certainly
bring disaster to the swords mission.
Prayer is offered before the work be-
gins, and various religious rites must
be performed before any one of the
swords can be declared to have been
well and truly made.
The last thing that takes place after
the polishing and sharpening of the
swords is the offering of them one by
one to the sword god to be blessed.
The weapon is placed in front of the
kakemona on the wall. with an Offering
of saki, rice and sweetmeats, after
which prayer scrolls are read and a
blessing upon the work is invoked

Plurality over President Taft
Given as about 10000.
DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR WILSON
Eighteen Of Twenty-Eght Delegates
Are Probably Instructed for Roose-
VeIt-Vote Is About FIFTY Per
Cent of Registration.

New York, May 29.-Colonel Roose-
veil made almost a clean sweep at
the primaries in the state of New
Jersey. If President Taft has two out
of the twenty-eight delegates to the
national Republican convention he is
lucky. The returns, while incomplete,
Indicated that Colonel Roosevelt had
captured eleven of the twelve congress
sional districts and the four delegates
at-large, This means that he has
captured twenty-six out of the twenty
eight delegates to the national con
vention.
Governor Wilson got the Democratic
vote and he has a majority of the dele
gates. Throughout the state the vote
was light, probably about so per cent
of that cast on election day. The
vote was late in being counted and it
was impossible to estimate in figures
the vote received by the candidates
On the basis of the returns it was es-
timated that Roosevelt had beaten
Taft about 212 to |. Early returns re-
ceived at Trenton showed that Roose-
welt had carried the Second, Third,
Fourth and Seventh congressional dis
tricts. 1t is likely that President Taft
carried the Sixth congressional dis
trict, while the Fifth was in doubt.
1t is practically conceded that Colo
mel Roosevelt had captured the dele
gates-at-large They are John F. Fort,
Everett Colby, Frank B. Joss and Ed
gar B. Bacon.
Ex-senator James Smith, Jr, who
has been one of the strongest oppo-
nents Of Governor Wilson, is elected
a delegate to the national convention
from the Ninth district. James r.
Nugent who has been leader of the
anti-Wilson forces, is elected a dele
gate from the Tenth congressional dis
trict He is also elected as a state
committeeman.
The vote in the state was about so
per cent of that cast on election day.
The voters had the opportunity of
showing their preference for the pres
idential candidates as we'll as voting
gates to the national conventions
The returns We're so late that it was
not possible to estimate in figures the
total vote received by the candidates.
On the basis of the returns Colonel
Roosevelts plurality was about 10000.
The vote for LaFollette was very
small.

WANTS A RED LAKE SURVEY
Re preventative steenerson is After
Preliminary Survey Of Swamp
Lands

Representative Halvor Steenerson
OF Crookston is making plans to have
included in the Indian appropriation
bill now before the senate, authoriza-
ton ln for the preliminary survey of the
swamp lands in the Red Lake Indian
reservation with a view to their
drainage.
Mr.. Steenerson has been informed
by the director Of the geological sur
yey thai such a survey could be made
this summer and that the data COM
pied would be ready for congress
neskt winter for any further step it
might take. The proposed survey was
requested by the Red Lake Chippewas
at their council last July, at which
time they asked that the merchant
able timber on the reservation be sold
and the proceeds expended in drain.
ing 100000 acres of swamp lands east
os the eleven Towns" and west Of
llll4sd Lake.
e Other drainage projects on Indian
lands have been so successful that it
lis believed much would be gained
trough a drainage of the Red Lake
lands.
