Negro Rebels
Sack Big
Plantation

Washington, June 4.-The State
Department was informed today that
Santa Cecilia Plantation, one of the
largest and richest in Cuba owned by
Americans, was sacked and burned by
The negro rebels late last night. Nc
details are available but it is thought
probable that part of the 5000 ma
rines were rushed to the spot to
ouard other places in the vicinity.
The destruction of this place is
probably the most serious loss to
American property since the rebellion
started.

URGES TAX ON
:. OYSTERS IN BED
Levy May Be Made on About
$3,ooo,0 900 Worth in Maurice
River Cove.

BRIDGETON, July 29.--The meet
ing of the legislative commission for
the investigation of the question of
taxation, held here. developed a pc
culiarly interesting turn as applying
to conditions in Cumberland County.
just as the commission had prac-
tically concluded its questioning of
members of tax boards and assessors
and was preparing to leave the
county for. its visit to Wildwood the
assessor of Commercial Township re-
marked that in his township there
were more than 200 oyster boats
which are connected with the oyster
planting industry in the Maurice
River Cove, and these boats are as
sessed upon a valuation of about 80
per cent. of their worth.
This caused James Craig, the Vine
land member of the Cumberland
County Tax Board, to suggest that
the oysters planted in the cove had
never been assessed at all, and he
asked the question as to what, If any,
value might be placed upon them.
Senator Carleton b. Pierce, of
Union County, who is chairman OF
the investigating commission, i'm
evinced great interest, and
for more than an hour there was
discussion of the subject.
Senator Pierce asked how much
money was invested in planted oys-
tiers, and when told that there is
probably 3d. 10000 worth of oysters
in the cove he advanced the notice
that there should be a valuation
upon the property. y

URGES REFORMS
IN BANKING LAWS
U. H. Mccarter Sends Out
Pamphlet on Work of
National League.

An interesting pamphlet, calling
Citizens League in its efforts to
arouse public sentiment in favor of
currency reform. is being sent out
by Uzal H. McCarter, president of
the Fidelity Trust Company. in ac-
cordance with the request of the off,
GERS of the league.
The pamphlet is entitled 1.-THE
Money Question" In it 1T is ex-
planned that the league has no plan
to advance and no proposed change
to oppose. The object Of the or
ganization is simply to point out the
perils of the present financial sys-
tenn of the country, which was
largely responsible for the disastrous
panic of 1907, and for other monetary
disturbances, and to educate voters
on the Importance of a prompt and
helpful change in the existing bank
ing laws. The question, Mr.. McCar-
ter explains, is one that comes d.
rectly home to the individual as well
as to all business men and to the
country at large, and for that rea-
son voters in general are urged to
take an active personal interest in
the work of the league.
The organization, which is made
up of prominent business men, is
non-partisan. Its sole object is the
promotion of a sound banking sys-
tenn. The directors of the New Jer-
sey branch of the league are: frank
