Promoting of Stable Government
Given as Object.
Havana Oct. 9. The preliminaries
of an organization to be called tho
Good Government league of Cuba were
begun this aftornoon at a meeting of
Americans, Cubans and others, at
which resolutions were passed to tho
effect that the purpose of the aisocia-
ion should bo the "prornotlnc of all
legitimate means, the establishment of
permanent, stable and lawful covern-
tnent, competent to administer Justice,
insure democratic tranquility, promote
the general welfare and insure tho
blessings of liberty to all tho inhabi
tants of the island-"
It was declared that tho league in
tended to adopt whatovor means to this
end were deemed wisect by a majority
of the membership, which is intended
to bo representatives of all nationalities
and cectlons, and not to be committed
to any lino of action until it is decided
what is lnoit conductive to the objects
named.
While there was no expression to
that effect, the movement uenorally Is
regarded as pointing eventually toward
some more definite degreo of American
control or oversight in Cnban affairs
than is vouchsafed by the Flatt amand
ment.

court martial were held. Fifty of these
trials wero of commanding officer?, 42
nf whom were convicted and eight ac
qnitted. Fourteen officers were dis
missed by sentence. In four cares tho
sentences were commuted to loss of

the good of the servico," were accepted
in lion of confirming tho sentences, and
in one case the sontonce was disap
proved. Abont CO per cent of the enlisted
men convicted by genoral court martial
recoived eentencea involving dishonor
able dlscbargo and about 5 per cont of
tbeso Hontences wero awarded in view

204, as compared with tbo previous
year.
Rebels Waving Machetes.
Havana, Oct. 0. Reports received
here late tonight from Guines and Al
qufsar declaro that disbanded rebels are
riding about these towns and waving
their machetes in a threatening man
ner. General Fa niton will go to Gui
nes tomorrow. The members of the
disarming commission for Santa Clara,
accompanied by Jose Miguel Gomez,
Garcia Canlzares, ex-speaker of the
house of representatives, and others ar
rived at Casilda, the port of entry to
Trinidad, this evouing. They were
met by a large crowd.
Steeds From the Desert.
New York, Oct. 0. Twenty-seven
Arabian borees wore landed today from
the steamship Italia. They have been
on the way from Syria since August 14.
This Importation is said to be the
largest of the kind ever made and is
the result o( the only trade ever issued
to an American. Homer Davenport
negotiated the purchase. The animals,
he says, represent tho only strictly des
ert bred thoroughbreds over brought to
this country.
Accepts China's Word.
Shanghai, Oct. 0. Sir Robert Hart,
director general of the OhineBO imperial
customs, has issued a circular to the
foreign colony here, saying that he has
received assurances that his status with
regard to Chinese customs will not be
chauged and tthat he is satisfied there
will be no undue interference with for
eigH coatrel of the cnatnm.
Ministry to Resign In Protest,
it. Jobss, N, F., Oct; 9. It was re-
rtarWtl today, that the ministry, follow
ing tlie recent exananli. of the national
cabinet, Intended to resign as a protest
agalast the temporary arrangement of
Great Britain aad the United States,
by the provision ofwbleh Awwlean
uiirMK.waeMSfi privileges con
trary to the laws ef New Fosmdland,
Washington, Oot. 9. It has been
finally decided tbat the Panama canal
will be completed by contract. In a
few days the commission will make
public a statement setting forth Its rea
sons for favoring the contract system,
and at tbat time a form of contract will
also probably be published showing ex
actly the sort of documert believed by
tho commissioners to be necessary for
safeguarding the work.
President Roosevelt is known to sup
port the commission in its position that
the work can bo done more satisfactori
ly by contractors than by the govern
ment. Ho had a long conference with
Chairman Sbonts today on tho subject
and the various arguments in favor of
tho contract system were discussed
fully.
This change In building the canal
will in no way affect the employment
ol Chinese labor. Proposals for furn
shine the Chinese labor were made
under such conditions that they can bo
transferred to contractors and tbo terms
can be fulfilled in such a manner tbat
the government can give the coolies
Just as muob protection as it could if
the government were the direct em
ployer. It is likely tbat no disposition
will bo made of the bids for supplying
Chinese labor until after the return of
Secretary Taft from Cuba, as he assist
ed in drawing tbo specifications under
which proposals were offered and is
much interested in the conditions under
which the Chinese are to bo taken to
tho isthmus.
The presidont still intends to visit
tho isthmus this fall and, unless thero
bo eoma change for .the worse in the
Cuban situation, will probably leave
for Colon a short time after the election.
Not Sufficient Evidence to Hold Great
Miners' Leader.
Grand Junction, Colo., Oct. 8 Vin
cent St. John, ex-president of tbe Tell
uride MinerB union and prominently
identified with the Western Federation
of Miners, is attain a free man, all
charges against him having been dtop
ped by tbe state.
"We wore unable to verify certain
evidence against St. John, and rather
than ko to trial with a weak case we
decided to abandon further prosecu
tlon," is the way District Attorney
Sells put it. District Judge Stevens
promptly ordered St. John released.
St. John had been out on bonds un
der the charge of beine responsible for
the strike riot of 1900 at Telluride,
when a man named fiurnbam was kill
ed. St. John, after leaving Telluride,
went to Idaho. He was arrested for
complicity in tbe assassination of ex
Govetnor Steunenbertr. of Idaho, but
later released and immediately re-ar
rested, charged with tbe murder of
Burnbam in Telluride, and brought to
Colorado. He was placed in Jail and a
strong guard thrown around tbe Jail to
prevent what wm alleged to be an at
tempt to rescue him.
Three weeks later tbe evidence did
not apppcar to bo so strong and he Wis
released on a $10,000 bond. His case
dracced nlomr until at this term of
court the prosecuting attornoy announc
ed tbat be bad not evidence upon which
to hold him, and be was released.
LOSES MILLIONS ANNUALLY.
BRITAIN ACCEPTS TERMS.
Real Fishermen of Newfoundland Con
cede American Rights.
Washington, Oct. 9. Tbe nows that
tho modus vivendi between the United
States and Great Britain regarding the
Newfoundland fisheries bad finally been
signed waB conveyed to Secretary Root
in a cablegram from Ambassador Reld
today, advising him tbat the British
government bad accepted tbe terms.
No information has been received at
tho State department concerning tbo
proposed resignation of tbe officials of
the Newfoundland government on ac
count of tbe new agreement.
Some facts in relation to the New
foundland government and the fisheries
were stated, in which it appears tbat
the British government has been very
much embarrassed during tbe negotia
tions on account of the demands of
Newfoundland. The Newfoundland
government is under tbe control of the
merchant fishermen of the island, those
who buy, cure and Bell the fishing pro
ducts. Tbey oppose any American
fiahinR rightB, including those guaran
teed by the treaty of 1418, and are dis
satisfied with any arrangement that the
British governmont makes to carry out
tho terms of that treaty.
Tho real fishermen of the island are
not in harmony with the restrictions of
tho Newfoundland government, euch as
denying tbe privilege of Belling bait
and of allowing the fishermen to tako
employment on the American fishing
vessels. The Newfoundland govern
ment baa no real responsibility in the
way of carrying out obligations. That
devolves upon tho British government.
Joint Salmon Fishery Regulations.
Victoria, B. C, Oct. 9. An Ottawa
dispatch says recommendations for
amendments to the fishery regulations
have been made by the Joint fishery
commission of British Columbia and
Washington. The Americans askrd
that fishing bo prohibited in the Fraser
river above New Westminster, but the
Canadian commission did not agree to
this. The American commissioners
will recommend to the Washington leg
islature a series of resolutions with the
objeot of protecting certain salmon
schools.

Chicago, Oct. 9. Commission men

Congress Must Reform Second Class
Mall Rate Law.
Now York, Oct. 8. The congreasion
al committee which has been invest!
sating the carrying of second class mail
matter by tbe Postoffice department de
cided today to adjourn tbe bearing to
Washington, where representatives of
the Periodical Publishers' association
will be beard on November 26. F. O.
Madden, third assistant postmaster
general, said:
"I tbink that beyond question tbe
Postoffice department has established
its caeo namely, tbat tbe present laws
regulating second-claBB matter are out
of dote and practically nullified by
present practices beyond tbe control of
the department as now equipped, and
tbat a real and effective enforcement
would be injurious to tbe publishing
interests. There aro now many persons
enjoying the privileges of tbe second

and purpose of tbe statutes to the de
trimont of the postal revenues amount
ing to millions annually.
"From the bearings, tbe correctness
of this is specially conceded by the
publishers themselves. Tbey seem to
be substantially agreed tbat a reforma
tion of the laws is imperative. Just
what view tbo committee will take or
what action it will propose, if any, no
one at this time can say."

The department seemed demoralized

within 12 hours not an arreat has been
made, nor is there the shadow of a clew

Ed Wren, whom Chief DInan wants
to make inspector of police, appears to
be unable to handle tbo situation, and
matters in the upper office are at a
standstill, with Acting Mayor Galla

equally detei mined not to accept the

Portland Journal.
Tho main canal, which leads from the
lower end of tho upper Klamath lake
to a point In the desert nine miles cost
of the town of Klamath Falls, Is being
rapidly constructed. Tho water Is car
ried from the upper lake through a
tunnel under a hill Just north of the
town. This tunnel Is being rapidly con
structed. It Is being driven from both
ends, and also by drifting from shafts
sunk along tho right of way. Tho tun

13 feet wide on the bottom and 14
feet 4 Inches high, with an arched roof.
Through It will flow a volume of water
11 feet high.
