Says the Anaconda Company Is an In dependent Organisation and Will Continue to Be 80. ANA't)XDA. Mont.. May 1-The Ana. cumU Standard print this morning an interview with Marcus Daly, president of the Amalgamated Copper Company, recently organised with a capital of fTi txi.U.i. Mr. Daly says that the control of the Anaconda company is snld to the new company, which also owns the Par rot property, the Colorado properties and the Washoe. Other large properties will soon be added to these holdings un. der an Increased capital stock The com. pany has no relation whatever, as has be-en erroneously rumored, with a Mich igan copper company. The properties owned by the new company will be worked to their full capacity and the output Increased. "Underground fiuMe." Mr. Daly said, "will be explored and tested with a de. gree of thoroughness and to an extent never before dreamed of." In a paragraph In the Interview Mr. Daly said: "While I live and manage these proper ties, there will be no agitation of the wage question from any one of he line. Miners wages will not in any event be' lowered. That Is perfectly well under stood by those with whom I am associ ated. If the Butte properties cannot af f rd the present wage scale, then the whole organization Is a mistake, and I feel sure It Is not a mistake." A WOMAN'S INFLUENCE IN CUBAN POIJTICS. Madam CVspedes.

Cruiser Chicago Ordered to Tangier to . Redress a Number of American j Claim. j NEW YORK. May S.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: Before the departure of the cruiser Chicago yesterday from Punta del Gada. Acting Secretary Allen sent Instructions to Rear Admiral Howison directing him to pro ceed to Tangier. Morocco. The United States has several small claims against the Moorish government, the result of the looting ot stores.be. longing to Americans, and of outrages committed upon Moorish agents ot American houses, who, under the terms of the treaty between the two govern ments, are under American proteotlon. The authorities are confident that the moral effect of the appearance of tne Chicago with a flag officer on board at Tangier will be excellent, and will hasten the settlement of the claims'. Rear Ad miral Howison will consult with the American consul general at Tanglers. No attempt will be made at forcible coercion, but the Moorish officials will iloubtless appreciate the reason for the Chicago's call and probably act more promptly. IMPORTANT INSURANCE DECISION.
