Secure Reciprocity.
BIQ SENSATION 1NTHESENATE
F. B. Thurber, Before the Cuban
Committee, Identifies the Voucher
for the First installments!
Cuban Contribution.
"
Before th Senate Cuban committee,
F. B. Thurber. president of the Export
Association. Identified a voucher for
$2800 paid out from the Cuban treasury
to aid the reciprocity cause in this
country. The voucher was appiwed by
Governor-General Wood. The revelation
created a sensation In the Senate, and
resulted In" the calling of two caucuses.
Opinions' as to the ultimate effect df the
testimony are varied.
WASHINGTON, June VL The testimony
given today before the committee on Cu
ban relations by F. B. Thurber. showing
that between $SOO0 and JSOOO had been paid
out of the Cuban Treasury under the
direction of Governor-General Wood for
the promotion of the effort to secure reci
procity between the "United States and
Cuba, caused a sensation in the Senate to
day. The news of Mr. Thurber's state
ment reached the Senate chamber about
the time that body had convened, and.
when Senator Teller, whose examination
had developed the facte, made his ap
pearance on the floor, fie was immediate
ly surrounded by Senators from both sides
of the chamber who professed great anx
iety to know all that had occurred. Cop
ies of the one voucher produced were eag
erly sought, and the demand was not sat
isfied until 40 or 50 copies had been type
written and circulated . in the Senate
chamber. Much interest was also mani
fested on the part of meinbers of the
House, and some of the beet-sugar advo
cates of that body pointed out that Mr.
Thurber had not in his testimony Before
the ways and means committee indicated
any connection with the Cuban Govern
ment in his effort to create sentiment in
this country favorable to concessions to
Cuba.
Opinions as to the ultimate effect of the
testimony are as varied as the predilec
tions and prejudices of the Senate, but
the immediate results are seen in the de
cision reached this afternoon to have two
caucuses in the early future. The first of
these will be held by the beet-sugar Re
publican Senators tomorrow, and the sec
ond by all the Republican Senators Fri
day or Saturday. Senator Burrows is re
sponsible for the statement that the beet
sugar men will meet, and Senator Aldrlch
for the announcement that there would
be a general conference before the close of
the week.
The purpose of the meeting of the beet
sugar men. is to consider the situation as
affected by today's development, and also
to receive a report from the committee,
consisting of Senator Elklns, Senator
Burrows and Senator Jones', of Nevada,
appointed to confer with the Republican
members of the Cuban committee. This
committee will state that the Cuban com
mittee "hasfdecjlnea fo consider all the
propositions looking to a compromise
which hive been made, and it probably
will ask to be discharged. The proposi
tions that have been made are two the
first for a rebate and the second for a
commercial treaty with Cuba. The com
mittee will say that both plans were re
jected and that the members of the Cuban
committee would not change their posi
tion that there -must be a straight reduc
tion of 20 per cent without any condi
tions, except that the President might
have power to revoke the concession in
case he found that the Cuban planters
were not getting the benefit of it.
The full conference will be In the na
ture of a-caucus and some of the beet
hugar men say they will enter it only
with the understanding that they shall
not be bound by any conclusion that may
be reached. The advocates of a tariff re
duction say that no action by a Repub
lican Senatorial caucus is binding, but
they add that defections have occurred
only in rare instances.
Senator Aldrlch expresses confidence in
being able to secure fully 45 Republican
votes in favor of any bill that may be re
ported by the Cuban committee. This Is
a majority of the Senate, and the friends
of reduction express themselves as hope
ful of passing a bill satisfactory to them.
They say the testimony of Mr. Thurber
does not affect the merits of the question
In the least, and they contend that even
admitting that the course of the Cuban
Government was censurable. It cannot
and should not prevent the Government
of the United States doing what It has
promised to do, and what it is right to do.
They do not, however, generally admit
that the course was improper.
The beet-sugar Senators undeniably are
more hopeful than they have been here
tofore. Some of them profess to believe
that the revelation will have the effect of
at least causing a halt in the proceedings
In the interest of reciprocity. They think
the report made by Mr. Thurber will be
accepted by the country as going to show
that entirely too much interest has been
manifested in the subject In Cuba. Some
of them go so far as to assert that there
will be no reciprocity legislation, at least
during the present session.
THURBER'S TESTI3IONBY.
Cuban Military Government's Efforts
to Secure Reciprocity.
WASHINGTON, June 1L F. B. Thur
ber, president of the Export Association,
the witness who has been wanted by the
committee on Cuban relations, was be
fore the committee today. Senator Teller
produced a copy of a voucher for I2SO0,
showing that that sum had been paid by
the Military Government of Cuba by au
thority of Governor Wood to the "United
States Export Association, of which Thur
ber is president. Thurber acknowledged
that he had received the amount and said
it was one of three payments he had re
ceived from the same source. The re
ceipt was dated April 2, 1902, and states
that ',lt -was for advocating a reduction
of tariff on Cuban products with recipro
cal reduction on United States products
going into Cuba.
The witness said he thought $20,000
worth of literature had been circulated.
He said he had received a contribution of
52500 from Mr. Havemeyer, of the sugar
trust, Tvhen he solicited that gentleman
for a substantial subscription.
In response to questions by Senator Tel
ler, Mr. Thurber said h'e had been active
in the effort to .secure a reciprocal ar
rangement with Cuba. He had come to
Washington originally at the Instance of
the Export Association and also of Cubans
who were favoring reciprocity. He was
not, he said, under salary from the Export
Assoclatyjn. but he admitted that he re
ceived . percentage on the fees for mem
bership of the association influenced by
himself. He said he had been In the
employ of the Cuban Government for some:
time in the Summer and Fall of 1901, In
connection with the preparation of the
Cuban tariff, his employment being at the
instance of Secretary Hoot.
In reply to questions, Mr. Thurber said
that the money referred to above hid all
come through the Cuban commission, but
Senator Teller Inslstec that the voucher
which he had produced could not have ?
emanated from the Cuban commission.
Mr. Thurber then said that all was done
through an understanding that the Export
Association should do all possible to get
industries on a proper basis. He denied,
however, that the money was paid on a
verbal order from General Wood, given
when the litter was in the "United States.
When asked what rss meant by the
phrase "leaders of thought," In his bill
to the Cuban Government, Thurbor said
he had a list of S000 people In the United
States who "represent something" to
whom this, literature was sent.
In "reply to a question by Teller as to
whether he had consulted Havemeyer, of
the sugar trust, in the preparation of the
literature, Mr. Thurber said:
"After maklnjr my argument before the
ways and means committee, I told Mr.
Havemeyer that I had been .asked if I
was representing him, and asked him for
a subscription. He gave me a check to
ward meeting our expenses."
Following Is a copy of the receipts
which Mr. Teller submitted as, having
been given by Mr. Thurbor to the Cuban
Government, and which the witness ad
mitted to be genuine:
"Form S, voucher No. 31, abstract B,
account of month of April, 1902.
"New York; April 2. 1902. The United
States Military Government of the Island
of Cuba to the United States Export As
sociation, Dr. For sending third edition
of SO.000 circular letters md accompany
ing publications to leaders of thought in
the United States, advocating a, reduc
tion In the duties upon Cuban products,
with a reciprocal reduction in the duties
upon American products Imported into
Cuba, $2SS0.
"Received payment. United States Ex
port Association; F. B. Thurber, Presi
dent. April 2, 1902.
"To service as per bill attached (see
above), in suppdrt of the applications of
the inhabitants of the Island of Cuba
for reciprocal tariff relations with the
United States, $2SS0.'
"Under the authority of General Wood,
March 26, 1902."
The document bore the following In
dorsement: "Headquarters Department of Cuba,
Havana, Aprii JO, 1902. The services here
in charged for having been performed
under the verbal directions and authority
of the Military Governor, this voucher, as
submitted, is approved and the Auditor
Is authorized to pass the same. By di
rection of the Military Governor.
"FRANK M'COY, Aid de Camp.
"Paid by check No. 403. April 11, 1902.
for $2SS0, on Banco Naclonale de Cuba."
In reply to other (questions, Mr. Thur
ber said that three bills similar to this
had been rendered by him, and that all
had been paid.
Mr. Thurber, at the outset of his testi
mony, in response to questions by Sena
tor Piatt, said he had not tried to avoid
appearing before the committee, stating
that he had been absent from his home
most of the time since the receipt of his j
first summons to appear.
Professor H. W. Wiley, chief of the
chemistry division of the Agricultural De
partment, followed Thurber on the stand.
His testimony was devoted to an exposi
tion of the European kartel bounty on
sugar, which he contended had been thB
cause of the entire reduction in the price
of sugar which had taken place through
out the world in the last two years. Quot
ing the price of beet sugar at Hamburg at
266 for June, 1900, he showed that It had
fallen since to 1.54, or C2 per cent. He
said the depression in sugar is -worldwide
and advocated the meeting of this
European duty with a similar duty by
the United States. Oa this point he said,
among other things:
"Since England Is the greatest consum
er of bounty-fed sugar among the nations
of the earth, and the United States Is Jho
second, it Is evident that if theso two
countries should join in countervailing
not only the official but kartel bounties,
Instant prosperity would at once come to
the sugar growers of the whole -world."
Cuban Sugar Product.
HAVANA, June lL An official report
Just published shows that 724.000 tons of
sugar were manufactured in Cuba be
tween January 1 and June 1. Two hun
dred and thirty-eight thousand tons of
this sugar was shipped away from the
Island, and the remainder is being held
to await the result of the movement to
receive reciprocity with the United
States.
BRUTAL MASSACRE.
Yaqul Men, Women and Children
"Shot Down by Mexican Troops.
TUCSON, Ariz., Juno 1L Colonel Will
lam Christy arrived here today from
Prietas, Sonora, with details of a mas
sacre of Yaqul Indians, men, women and
children, yesterday in the Santa Rosa
Canyon, 35 miles from the Mlnas Prietas
mines, by a detachment of General Torres
troops.
It appears that the Yaqul forces that
were operating in that section had moved
further into the mountains, leaving their
women and children in the Santa Rosa
Canyon under a guard of 80 men. The
Mexican troops came upon this band, and
-without any warning opened a terrible
fire, sparing neither women nor children.
After the first volley the troops charged
down upon the panic-stricken victims, and
massacred all within their reach. Of the
guard of SO Yaquls, not a single one sur
vived, and over 100 women and children
fell victims to the Mexican bullets and
bayonets.
The bodies of the dead were left in the
canyon, and the remaining women and
children were driven to Mlnas Prietas by
the soldiers, and from that point will be
taKen to Hermoslllo.
The Mexican soldiers and rurales have
explicit orders to take no Yaqul men pris
oners, but to kill in all cases. This order
was Illustrated yesterday, -when a friendly
Yaqul miner came down to Prietas tor
supplies, and was killed by the rurales on
the outskirts of the tov n.
Colonel Christy says the massacre oc
curred at daybreak Monday morning. The
troops were of Torres command, but not
under him personally, and numbered COO.
The Yaquls, including men, women and
children, were over 300. The canyon in
which the Yaquls were encamped was
a long and narrow one. Word was brought
to Torres at Mlnas Prietas Sunday night
that the main body of Yaquls had left
the Santa Rosa canyon and gone further
into the mountains, leaving their women
and children in the canyon with a small
guard of men. Torres dispatched .COO
troops to block the mouth of the canyon
and' surround the Yaquls. His Instruc
tions were to kiirall men and boys capa
ble of bearing arms. The Mexicans se
creted themselves along the sides of the
canyon, having blocked the entrance. At
daylight they poured a terrible and dead
ly fire on the unsuspecting Yaquls, kill
ing men, women and children indiscrimi
nately. Many of the killed were mere In
fants. The slaughter, Christy says, was
fearful. The Mexican troops only stopped
the fearful work of shooting and bayonet
ing their victims when exhausted by their
labors.
The Yaquls say they do not care to
fight, that they are peaceably inclined,
but are driven to desperation" by the Mex
icans and as a. last resort have taken up
arms to protect their rights. The Mexi
can Government appears to be bent on ex
terminating the Yaqul people, Christy
says, and all men and boys falling into
their hands are shot.

WEST POINT. June 1L The celebration
of the 100th anniversary of the West Point
Military Academy reached its climax to
day. President Roosevelt was tho chief

The President was met at the

cadets and leading a notable party of offi
cers, came across the parade ground, and
soon after his entrance the speaking be
gan. The President's Speech.
Colonel Mills made an address of wel
come and then Introduced President
Roosevelt, who said, In part:
"Colonel Mills, the graduates of West
Point, and you, men and women who are
drawn to them by ties or citizenship or
by the simple fact that you are Americans
and therefore of necessity drawn to them:
I am glad to have the chance of say
ing a word to you today. There Is little
need for me to say how well your per
formance has compared with the prophetic
promise made on your behalf by the great
est of Americans Washington. This In
stitution has completed its first 100 years
of life. During that century no other edu
cational Institution in the land has con
tributed as many names as West Point
has contributed to the honor roll of the
Nation's citizens. Colonel Mills, I claim
to be a historian, and I speak simply as a
reciter of facts when I say what I have
said, and more than that, not merely has
West Point contribtfted a greater number
of the men who stand highest on the Na
tion's honor roll, but I think beyond ques
tion that, taken as a whole, the average
graduate of West Pplnt during this 100
years has given a greater amount of serv
ice to the.country during his life than has
the average graduate of any other institu
tion in this broad land.
"Now, gentlemen, that is not surprising.
That is what wo have a right to expect
from this military university founded by
the Nation. But I am glad that the ex
pectation has been made good, and of all
the institutions In this country, none is
more absolutely American, none more. In
the proper sense of the word, absolutely
democratic than this. Here we care
nothing for the boy's birthplace, for the
boy's grade, for his social standing; here
we care nothing save for his worth if he
is able to show it. Here you represent
with almost mathematical exactness the
country geographically. You aro drawn
from every walk of life by a method of
chance, meant to Insure and which in a
great majority of cases does Insure noth
ing but active youth. Here you come to
gether as representatives of America in
tho higher and more peculiar sense than
can possibly be true of any other Institu
tion in the land, save your sister college
that makes similar preparations for the
service of the country on the seas.
"This morning I have shaken hands
with many of you, men who stand as rep
resentatives of every great struggle; every
great move this great Nation has made
for the last 50 or 60 years. There are still
some left among the older of you who
took part in the Mexican War, a struggle
which added to this country a territory
vaster than has changed hands In Europe
as the result of all the wars of the last
two centuries. I see among you men who
took part in the great Civil War, when
this Nation was tried as in a furnace;
when the men were called upon to do the
thing which had to be done under pen
alty of making the memory of Washing
ton himself worthless, because if you had
failed -then, failure would have been writ
ten across the record of his works. Final
ly, I see the younger men as well as the
older ones, the men whom I have seen
myself take part in a little war, a ware
that was the merest skirmish compared
to the struggle In which you fought from
'60 to '65, and yet a war that has had al
most as far-reaching effects, not merely
upon the destiny of this Nation, but,
therefore, upon the destiny of the world,
the war with Spain, and It was my good
fortune to see In the campaign In Cuba
how the graduates of West Point handled
themselves, and to endeavor to profit by
their example, and It has become my
pleasure to come here today because 1
was at the time Intimately associated
with many of your graduates. There was
never a moment, by day or night, that I
was not an eye-witness of some perform
ance of duty being done by a West
Pointer, and I never saw a West Pointer
fag In his duty. I want to be frank, gen
tlemen, you cannot get a body of men
of absolutely uniform good conduct, but
I am able to say it was my good fortune
to see the role of duty performed In a
way that made a man proud to be an
American and a fellow-citizen of such
people.
"Your business here at West Point has
been to teach men to do well In war, but
It Is a noteworthy fact that you have
also taught them to do well In peace.
The highest political positions In the land
have been held, not exceptionally, but
again nnd again, by West Pointers. Col
onel Mills. I make the answer that any
man who Is asked the question must
make when I say that while we would
have the right to expect that West
Point would do well, we could not have
expected that she -would have done so
very well as she has done.
"And now. In closing, I want to say one
word to those who are graduates, and the
younger graduates as well. I was great
ly struck tho other day by an article of
one of your Instructors here, himself a
graduate of West Point, in which he
dwelt upon the changed conditions of
warfare and of the absolute need that
a man who was to be a good officer
should meet these changed conditions. I
think It Is going to be a great deal harder
to be a first-class officer Jn the future
-than it has been In the past. I think
that In- addition to the courage and
steadfastness that have always been the
prime requisites In a soldier, you have
got to show a far greater power of Indi
viduality than ha been necessary before.
If you are going to get up to the highest
level of officer-like performance of duty.
As has been well said, the developments
of war In the last few years h: shown
that the unit will not be the regiment,
or the company, but the unit will be the
Individual man. If he does not know how
to shoot, how to shift for himself, how
both to obey orders and to accept respon
sibility when an emergency comes, he
won't have any orders to obey. If he-Is
not able to do all of that, you had better
have him out of the Army. In a battle
hereafter each man Is going to be, to a
considerable extent, alone. It will be
so that the youngest officers will have
ta take much of the responsibility that
In former wars fell on their seniors, and
many of the enlisted men will have to
do most of their work without any super
vision of any dfficer. The men will have
to act largely alone, and If they show
a tendency to huddle up to some one else,
his usefulness Is pretty near at an end.
If he Is nervous, so that he wants to
feel the touch of elbows, he had better
be out of the battle; and you officers. If
you are going to do well, have got to
learn how to perform the duty which Is
so essential. The task Is a hard one
and you want to fas that task. You want
to realize that, more than ever before,
the honor or the shame of the country
depends upon the high average of char
acter and capacity of the officers of en
listed men, and that high average of
character and capacity In the enlisted
men can. to a large degree, be obtained
through you officers, and that you nave
got to devote your time in bringing up
to the standard the fighting efficiency of
the men under you, not merely In doing
your duty so that you cannot be called
to account for failure to perform it, but
doing It in a way that will make each
man under you able to perform his.
"Now, I want you to weigh what I say,
for if you take only half of It, you will
Invert what I say. I found In my regi
ment that the best man was the man who
had been In the regular Army In actual
service out in Western campaigning on
the plains; that if he bad been a good
man in the regular Army out on the
plains, he was the best man that I could
get hold of; and on the other hand, if he
had served. In time of peace, a couple of
years In an Eastern garrison, where he
practically had next to nothing outside
the parade ground and barracks to do, or
If he had been in an ordinary National
Guard regiment, that one of two things
was true; If he had understood that he
kad tmly learned 5 per cent of war he
was that 5 per cent better than any one
else, and that was a big advancement;
and if he had thought that he had learned
the other 95 per cent, he was wprse than
any one else.
"Now, gentlemen, I do not Intend to
preach to you on the performances of
your duties here, but It is your special
business to learn them. I do ask you to
remember the differences In the military
profession from what it has been in the
past and to remember continually that
soldiership docs not consist of excellence
on the parade ground, but efficiency In
actual service on the field, and that the
usefulness, and really great usefulness of
the parade grounds and barrack work
comes in its being used, not as an end,
but as one of, the elements to the end.
I ask you to remember that. I do not
ask you to remember what you cannot
forget, the lesson of loyalty, of courage,
of steadfast adherence to the highest
standards of honor which all men draw
in when they, breathe the atmosphere of
this great Institution."
The orator of the day was General Hor
ace Porter, Ambassador to France.
The Secretary of War -was the last
speaker.
The afternoon exercises were brought
to a close with a dress parade. It was
witnessed by the President and his party
and many officers.
The event of the evening was the ban
quet given by the officers of West Point
to their distinguished guests. It was held
in Grant Hail, and covers were laid for.
500. The hall was lavishly decorated and
illuminated with colored lights. Tho toast
master was Judge-Advocate-General G. B.
Davis. The toasts were: "Our Guests,"
responded to by the Italian Ambassador,
SIgnor des Planches: "American "Universi
ties and Colleges," by Dr. W. R. Harper,
president of the University of Chicago;
"Congress and Its Relations to the Mili
tary Academy," David B. Henderson,
Speaker of the House of Representatives;
"The Army," General Miles; "The Navy,"
Captain French E. Chadwlck; "The Staff
nnd the Army Schools," General Corbln;
"The Volunteers," Major-General Daniel
E. Sickles; "The National Guard," Major-
General Dick, Ohio National Guard.
General Miles, In an allusion to the
strength of the Army, said: "It should
never be decreased to that extent that It
will become so weak as to be unable to
give adequate support to the civil govern
ment of our country, and at the same time
it should never be expanded to the extent
that it might constitute a menace to our
liberties.
"The experience of one war," continued
the General, "is handed down to advan
tage. The men schooled In the great Civil
War and the wars of the frontier were in
command of our small Army which
achieved success during the last brief war
between the United States and Spain."
STATE PRINTING OFFICE.
Board of Control Will Put In & Plant
nt Reform School.
OLYMPIA, Wash., June 1L An appro
priation 'of 52000 was made by the last
Legislature for the Introduction of manual
training departments at the State Reform
School, leaving with the State Board of
Control the selection of the industries to
be installed. The matter has been given
considerable thought and attention by
the members of the board, they having in
view the Installation of industries that
would be In a way self-supporting.
The carpentry department of the Insti
tution Is now being extended so that it
will be possible for all of the repairs at
the Institution to be made by the boys.
The shoe shop has been enlarged so that
all of the shoes required at the two hos
pitals for the insane, the Soldiers Home
and Reform School are now made at this
institution. In the tailor shop all of the
clothing for male patients at the hos
pitals for the insane is now manufac
tured; also the underwear for the mem
bers of the Soldiers Home and clothing
for the boys at the school.
Inasmuch as there are more boys and
girls at the Institution than could be em
ployed In the carpenter, shoe and tailor
shops and other departments at the
school, the board has investigated the
matter of installlnga small printing plant
to do the printing, such as letter-heads,
blank forms, envelopes, etc, for the insti
tutions under its charge. The Attorney
General gave to the board the opinion
that the printing mentioned could be done
at the Reform School without conflicting
with any law. The board Investigated the
cost of a plant such as would be required
to do the work for the Institutions, and
found that one could be purchased with
the amount available in the fund. With
the end in view of ascertalnlpg whether
the plant could be made eelf-sustalnlng,
or nearly so, the records of the State
Printing Board-were checked and It was
found that the printing for the six Insti
tutions under the control of the board
had amounted to $7464 60 in about five
yearo. or $1432 92 per year.
It has now been decided to put In a
small printing plant, for tho purchase of
which 51300 of the appropriation has been
set aside, and $100 for stock. With this
plant the Reform School will be able to

The Dreadful Inheritance of an
Indiana Hotel-Keeper.
For Yearn He Endeavored to Get Rid
of Xtrbut m Vain How He Final
ly 31et With Success.
The inheritance of Thomas E. Lawes,
proprietor of Hotel Taft, Dunkirk, Ind.,
was anything but an eavlable one. It
came to him more than a decade ago,
and to get rid of it he tried In vain for
many years. How at last he succeeded
makes an interesting story.
"Until a few years ago," he says. "I
was a man to be pitied. For more than
10 years I was a paralytic, hardly able
to use my hands, end with my eyes so
affected by the disease that I could not
recognize my friends acroso the room.
My hands and forearms were so numb
that there -was scarcely any feeling in
them at all."
"You had a doctor?" ventured his in
terviewer. "Yes, for a while in 1882, but my con
dition gradually grew worse. I tried
various things, but I didn't get any bet
ter, and I became pretty well discour
aged. The disease is hereditary in the
family. One of my sisters died, of par
alysis, and the face of another was all
drawn out of shape by it. So, you 6ee,
I realized that It would be an almost
impossible thing to get rid of it in my
case."
"But you did succeed?"
"I did, and the credit is all due to Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I
began taking them about 10 years ago,
and felt I was getting better after tak
ing the first box. I continued with
them until I was cured."
Mr. Lawes is a substantial citizen of
Dunkirk, proprietor of the best hotel
in that section, and is highly respected
among his large circle of acqualntancea
In order that there might be no room
for doubt as to the accuracy of his
above statement, he made affirmation
to It before J. J. Stewart, a notary pub
lic, February 15, 1902.
The fact that Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People cured this stub
born case, as they have cured others
equally severe, leaves no room for doubt
but that they will cure lesser troubles
arising from disordered nerves. At all

the appointment, but no one has yet been
chosen.
From the records of the State Printing
Board it is found that about four-fifths
of the cost of printing is for labor. "With
the labor available at the Reform School,
for whjch nothing will have to be paid,
the board feels that a saving is bound to
result from the Installation of the plant.
