committed only one robbery.
This occurred some time Sunday night
or Monday morning in a tailoring es-
tablishment in East Houston street. but
the police kept 1t secret up to this time
Instead Of Blowing open the safe the
thieves burned away the tumblers with
electricity, cutting through them as clean
Iy as though the work had been done
with a special saw.
The burglars got away with only $1.5O0
in cash and jeweiry worth $500. but marks
on a larger safe, in which were 5000

Alaskan Islands.

SEATTLE. Wash. June 13.-It seems
to be reasonably certain that all per-
sons on Kodiak Island, where the Katmai
volcano was In eruption, are safe. but
word is awaited concerning the fate of
those on Aeognak. and Raspberry islands
and on the mainland of the Alaskan
peninsula. Relief boats Lave been sent to
explore the bays and until they re-
turn conditions in the small settlements
will not be known.
The acid discharged by the volcano
during the forty y-eight hours it was
spouting has spread through the air
as far as the Puget sound country.
The soldiers at the coast defense forts
have been kept busy polishing the big
guns, which showed the corrosive ef-
feet of acid.

The Cuban government fears that II a

demands Of the negroes. The only con-
cession the Cuban government Is willing
to make is the aliowence of few days

after which the only course open to the
government will be to proceed to stamp

Plan to Send Army Officer
Not Seriously Considered

The administration has not seriously
considered sending Gen. Wood OF Gen.
Crowder or any other army officer to
Cuba at this juncture to try to bring
about peace between the factions.
The proposal has been informally dis
cussed. 1t emanated from persons In
Cuba, probably resident foreigners with
large financial interests at stake. No
responsible official here has made such
proposition. and it has not been officially
considered.
The Cuban government is now in a
sense on trial. 1t Is being given a iull
opportunity to demonstrate It's capabillty
to deal with the uprising in the eastern
end of the island. Rumors have reached
Washington that the attitude of the
Cuban government toward this insurrec-
tion is being measurably controlled by
political considerations.
Think Gomez Is Doing Best.
The State Department believes. how
ever, that President Gomez Is honestly
trying to suppress the rebellion and will
give him full opp ortunity to do so before
even considering the propriety of inter-
vention.
An indication of that purpose was had
today when, with the consent of the State
Department, the first division of the At
emergency orders, ready to sail to Cuba,
was released from restraint and ordered to
return to the early summer practice drills.
Consequently Admiral Aaron Ward, with
his four big Observation-Disclosures Della
ware, Utah and North Dakota-was Joined
at Hampton roads by the battleship Mas
sachusetts swarming with midshipmen
from the Naval Academy out for a prac-
tice cruise, and made ready to sail for

respond to calls for protection of foreign

ton in Cuba becomes aggravated.
The Cuban minister Antonio NJ. Rivero,
In statement last night, said the situa-
tion in Cuba was well under control and
that the government was confident of be-
ing able to crush the rebellion and main
tain peace and order. He said the out
break had been reduced to q small por-
ton of Oriente province.

No Rebel Leader Taken.
Reports are given out daily at the gov
ernment military headquarters in Santa
go, Cuba. regarding slight encounters
with rebel forces. but 1t is not yet known
that any rebel leader has been killed or
captured. and the people in the country
districts are reported to be still leaving
their homes and concentrating in protect
ed places.
Army officers here are surprised at Gen.
Monteagudo's act in extending from June
& to June 22 the time to allow Cuban in
surgents to lay down their arms. No ex-
planation is given heN as to why he
did SO.

ATTACKS ADDITION TO BILL
0vERRULED BY THE SPEAKER

Declaring that the conferees on the
army appropriation bill have gone outside
their Jurisdiction in presenting several
amendments in the bill. Representative
Prince of Illinois this afternoon began his
attack on the measure in the House. and,
although he did not mention Gen. Leon
ard Wood. chief Of staff, U. s. A, by
name. he indicated that the House minor
ity would strenuously disagree to the
proposition which legislates that officer
from the head of the army.
Representative Prince called atten
ton to several amendments to the
bill which he claimed were Instances
of the conferees exceeding their juris-
dictfon. One of these was the para
graph which abolishes twenty five
army posts.
In the paragraph consolidating the
office of the adjutant general, inspector
general and chief of staff Mr.. Prince
in a piece of legislation which affects
not only the three offices mentioned
but also affects the offices of the Judge
advocate general quartermaster gem
eral ordnance department., Signal Corps
and the bureau of insular affairs.
Exceeded Authority, He Says.
Mr.: Prince said that the ,conferees had
travelled far beyond their rights In bring
ing in section bearing on the Qualifica-
ton for the chief of staff.
At the end Of two hours argument
Speaker Clark overruled the points of
order which Representative Prince had
raised against the army post provision
and the section which would affect Gen.
Wood The Speakers position was that
the amendments which the conferees had
brought in were not outside of their turis-
dictlon, inasmuch as the original bill had
treated of army posts and the administra-
ton of the staff of the army.
Ruling Of Speaker Clark.
The Speaker. In making his ruling, said:
The chair has nothing to do with the
ultimate effect of this provision. The only
question to be determined Is a parlia-
mentary one, whether this provision is
germane to the propositions in the bill
touching the chief OF staff. and the chair
thinks 1t is.
Speaker Clark also made the same rul-
ing on the section of the bill to create q
commission to investigate army posts and
to recommend what army posts should be
abandoned.
kepresentative Prince will have another
chance to attack this bill. Todays action
settled parliamentary differences. The
friends OIL Cen Wood and the opponents
of the bill in general will have q chance
to fight il out when the vote is taken on
the adoption of the conference report.

three tons Of medium grade silver metal.
The silver was owned by the Naica Min
ing Company and the rebels are reported
by federal scouts to have gone to Chihua-
hua en- route to Juarez to convert their
booty into coin.
That the Mexican people are rapidly

by the arrival of advices from Inde III

Durango, making overtures to Gen.

antees OF safety in case of surrender.
Gen. Huerta has granted these guarantees
to all who surrender Internationally.

Both Factions Well Organized.

Splendid organization exists in both fac
tons. and the work is systematized to
the minutest detail. every man taking his
appointed station and attending strictly
TO the task assigned him. Elaborate secret
service staffs are maintained by both
camps in their efforts TO "get something"
on each other.
The Taft men are very much worried
over the possibility of the other side
packing convention hall. as 1t is re-
ported to them that the police depart
ment OF the city Is under domination of
Roosevelt sympathizers. The sheriff Of
the county. however. is said to be Taft
supporter. and in an extremity appeal
will be made to him.
Roosevelt sentiment apparently prevails
among the laborins classes and the rank

1t is sad and debasing spectacle that

litical friendships are being sacrificed.
But more than that. the thoughtful lead

1t is not exagseration to say that the
gravest fears are entertained by the con-
servative leaders OF serious trouble in
the convention hall. 1t Is difficult to con-
vey to one not on the scene an adequate
Idea Of the extent of the bitterness pre-

The Roosevelt men from the western

Instructions have gone out to the third

thing possible to make it appear that If
