SANTIAGO. Cuba, Marrh 10. Rivalry
over tho possession of u wife belonging to
tho sunken Spanish torpedo gunbout Furor
almost caused a second naval battle yestor
ilay. Cendoya, the agent of the Word Hue,
with his Cuban partners, has been engaged
for several months In wrecking tho war
ships und has performed considerable work
In dynamiting tho Furor, which work was
dimcult on account of tho depth of tho
water, twelve fathoms.
Recently ho located a nafo supposed to
contain $12,000 In Spanish gold, ami returnel
to find tho buoy remove!. Ho wan compelled
to como to this city for u pilot mid re
turned to tho wreck of tho Kuror yesterday,
whoro ho found the American transport
"Williams, with a diver down. A rival diver
thereupon descended and each of them de
clared ho was tho first to take possession
of tho safe. A quarrel ensued and the trana
porl'B diver came up, nwertlng that his rival
had threatened htm with a knife.
Ccndoya's diver attached a lino to the safe,
which he and his companions nay the Amer
ican officers took forcibly, Intimidating them
with rifles from tho transport. Captain
Parr says tho lino failed to ralso the safe
und their dlvcrH succeeded In attaching n
lino which secured tho treasure. On board
the Williams wero Captain Illunt, assistant
quartermaster, in charge of transportation;
Lieutenant Hamilton, an engineer officer,
and Superintendent Fowler of tho Ilarber
Asphalt company.
Tho American ofllceri disclaim any finan
cial Interest In the expedition. Captain Illunt
says ho allowed tho divers anil others to
use tho Williams bpcause. temporarily. It was
not needed and ctoud on Its deck with n
rlflo, which, ho rn. was not loaded during
tho quarrel, lie disclaims any Intention of
using his position, his uniform or arms to
Intlmidute the Cubun divers. Lieutenant
Hamilton says ho accompanied tho expedi
tion as a spectator.
Tronsiire In MIniIiih A km I it.
Doth boats eventually returned to the har
bor and Cendoya si-ured nji order from tho
court directing the pollco to toko possession
ot the safe. Fifteen armed policemen on tho
tug Colon followed tho Williams, maneuver
lng around tho bay for an hour. Finally, tho
tug went alongside tho Williams and tho
police, with drawn revolvers, prepared to
board It, when Captain Cooper, commanding
the Williams, confronted them with a rlflo
and announced his Intention to kill tho first
man who strpped on board. He said tho
civil courts had no jurisdiction over govern
ment ships. Tho police thereupon retreated
behind the pilot house and tho Colon re
turned to tho wharf.
Cendoya then reported the affair to De
partment Commander Whllcsldo. who or
dered Staff Adjutant Harford to investi
gate tho matter. Harford nnd some press
representatives searched the Williams at
midnight nnd no rafo was found. Captain
niunt and Captain Coopor dlsrlalm any
knowledge of the present whereabouts of the
safe, which Fowler says was thrown over
board. Fowler declined to say whether tho
contents had been retained. Ho had a half
Interest In tho expedition und says ho Is h
partner of McOrall, a civil employe of Cap
tain Illunt's office.
Cendoya Is an American citizen nnd makes
serious charges against Captain Illunt, which
Commander Whiteside will Investigate.

.U thu lust meeting cf the Hoard of (Ed
ucation Architect Klcwlt complained again
of the condition of the heating apparatus at
the new Jungmanu school and Intimated
that tho lack of heat was duo to the con
tractors allowing tho pipes to freeze. In
tho published report of the proceedings no
mention wna mado ot the plumbing con
tractors, but Parks &. Co., who Installed
tho apparatus, considered than an explana
tion was due them and this was printed In
The Ileo of Murch S.
In reply to the assertions of Parks & Co.,
M.'snrs. McDonald & Rock, tho construc
tlon contractors, buvo this to say.
"A statement in the South Omaha depart
ment of Tho Uco of March 8 regarding tho
construction of thu Jungmunn school building
was of such a nature that our firm was done
an Injustice. It was stated that Parks &
Co., tho steam heating firm, turned tho
steum plant over to us a month ago und
that tho freezing of the pipes caused delay
In construction. Now tho fact is that tho
Hist lire was built tinder the hollers nnd
they wero tested by the steam heating firm
referred to on February 22. It Is also a
fuct that tho steam heating plant Is not as
yet completed. However, a few duya after
February 22 tho pipes did freeze up, but
would not have done so hud the contractors
shut off tho valves not In use, as we had a
perfect right to believe they had done.
"Further, at no time have we delayed tho
work of construction on tho building. If wo
en held back by a chunge In plans, cer
tainly It is no fault of ours. When the
pipes did freeze It took but a day and a
half to repair the damage and put them In
aa cood condition as they wero before.
"Iloth members of this llrm have been
In business In South Omaha ever since the
city was located and havo been Identified
with tho construction of nearly all tho
school buildings here. Wo feel that an
Injustice has bco done us. not with malice,
but by a misstatement of facts, which wo
drslre to have corrected."
It can bo stated without contradiction
that ever since the construction of the Jung
mnnn school commenced there has been
more or les.i friction between the architect
and the contractors. Until tho last meet
ing of the board little, If any. attention
was paid to tho complaints of tho architect
or to those of tho contractors. Architect
Klcwlt claimed that the contractors were
not working In accordance with the speclll
cntlons, and these assertions tho contractors
denied. The dlnicultles generally wero
smoothed over with llttlo or no publicity,
but there seems to be an open rupturo now
and It Is a question of veracity between the
plumbers, the contractors and tho architect.
A. II. Welly' Platform.
SOUTH OMAHA. Neb., March 7. I!i00. -In
consenting to become n candidate for mayor
of tho city of South Omaha, subject to tho
action of tho city convention, I deem It
proper to state my views on questions ma
terially alTectlng the welfare of our city.
Equal rights to all is tho foundation of a
Just municipal government. Such govern
ments ore formed for nubile uood and no man
or set of men should subvert tho laws to por
eonnl prestlgo nor In violation of confidence
imposed by suffrage of tho people.
Tho city of South Omaha should bo gov
erned In tho Interest of all Its citizens with
out class distinction. No favors should bo
granted tho rich that are withheld from tho
pcor. Tho welfare of all tho people Is, and
of right ought to be, paramount to personal
Interests.
All public affairs should be administered
with tho same rigid economy, the same
scrupulous fidelity nnd tho ramo sound com
mon sense that govern matters of prlvato
concerns. J
Labor Is tho truo unit of valuation. It Is
the potent factor In all business transactions
and demands a Just consideration nt tho
hands of our city. In tho employment of
Its labor tho "eight-hour" law should bo
observed anil n liberal wago paid for faith
ful services.
It is tho duty of every olllclal to assist
In tho upbuilding of tho good name of the
i city nnd to advance the educational and ln-
i dustrial Institutions; to encourage the edu-
! cation of Its children, tho patronage of Its
j IndUftrles, tho employment of Its labor and
to solicit counsel nnd advlco of Its cltizotw.
Tho highest possible credit of tho city
should be maintained. Maturities should hn
promptly met nnd, when necessary, bonded
indebtedness- should be refunded at tho low
est possible rate of Interest.
Expenses In every department nt the eltv
government should bo diminished to tho low
est point consistent with good services;
tnxoi should bo lovled nnd collected equi
tably, and tho rate of taxation reduced ns
rapidly as a progressive and economical ad
ministration will permit.
Corporations and holders of public fran
chises aro amenable to thn nubile thi.
should pay an equltahlo proportion ot taxes
mm recogntzzo just demands of tho public.
Water hydrants, llchts unit nth or nnlill,.
Improvements should bo extended as quickly
ns possible to the bom fi.nwnnra In Mm
burbnn districts, who nre paying uu exccjslvo
and unjust rntlo of taxation compared with
benefits received.
Tho lives of our pcoplo should be pro
tected by all safeguards of modorn sanitary
science. The present condition of nrnraK.
demands Immedlato attention, and especially
mo evn now existing by reason ot tho tllthv
rendition of Stink creek should bo abated
at once.
Much depends on tho pollco department of
n city and tho present condition of our de
portment demands a radical change. No
person should be eligible to appointment In
this department who Is not sober, industri
ous nnd has tho best Interests of tho city
nt heart.
Tho deplorable condition of the garbage
department demands an Immedlnto and thor
ough reform. I strenuously opposo tho pay
ment of public money for tho removnl of
garbugo from prlvato property. The depart
ment should bu placed on a competitive
basis under tho supervision of a sanitary in
spector, which would materially reduco
prlcrs and better serve tho Interests of the
public.
Numorous Judgments havo been rendered
against tho city and other suits aro now
pending on account of the Inefficient man
agement and gross carelessness of the street
department. An Intelligently and consci
entiously conducted street department would
result In iv much Improved condition nt a
considerable reduction In cost.
Damogo suits ogulnst tho city should bo
moro vigorously contested und, If necessary,
carried to the court of lost resort.
Thero should bo no partisan politics In
the executive department of tho city. Tho
mayor owes allegiance to tho whole pcoplo
and not to any element or set of men.

Denioeratle County Convention,
At a meeting held yesterday the demo
cratic city central committee stipulated with
representatives of tho Douglas county cen
tral committee, that, no county convention
will be held and that no primaries for tho
selection of delegates to a county conven
tion will bo called. Delegates to tho stato
convention will bo named by tho county cen
tral committee, thus avoiding tho holding
of primaries nnd a county convention. This
step has been taken because the Omaha nnd
South Omaha elections como so close to
gether nnd Interest Is centered locally rather
than toward tho stato convention.
