WOOD 18SIKS A VITAL ORDER. Enforces American Lswi In Cnba that Will Facilitate Reciprocity. HAVANA, May 17. Governor General IvVood today Issued an Important order mak ing all orders operative only during mili tary occupation of the Island and concern ing the subsequent effectiveness of which a question bad arisen, binding upon tbe new .Cuban government until they ahall be re voked. This action places these orders upon the same footing as the general orders ,th Cuban government accepted by tbe adoption of tbe Piatt amendment. More Important still, an order has been issued placing In force' all the Immigra tion, exclusion and contract labor laws of the United States. These laws have been practically In force General Wood says since the American occupation began. By this order these laws are not only Incorpo rated In the lawa of the Island, placing responsibility for their observance on tbe new government, but clear sailing Is left for the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty. President-elect Palma Is laboring night and day to conciliate the warring factions and Is fairly atandlng a siege of office seekers at the residence of General Maximo Oomet, which he and his family are occu pying prior to bis Inauguration.

Mr. Bryas added that, after studying th question at close range, his belief In th capacity of the Cubans for self-government bsd been strengthened. W. J. Bryan received a great demon stration when be arose to speak. Tbe sub Ject of his speech was Patriotism," and In conclusion he said he had rather see tbe stars and stripes live In the hearts of the Cubans tbsn float over their country, The climax was reached when General Wood was Introduced. The whole assem blage arose and cheered him. Tbe women In the boxes waved their handkerchiefs, and everybody remained standing until be had concluded. General Wood congratulated the Cuban people on their triumph. He thanked them for their co-operation, and wished them success in the name ot tbe American government and the American people. Replying to Oeneral Wood General Oomei said their one purpose was to emulate the American republic. SCORES GENERAL J. H. SMITH Captain Grant Declares Former Has Sought to Reinstate Military Rule In Leyte. WASHINGTON, May 17. Tbe secretary of war has transmitted to the senate com mittee on the Philippines a report made by Captain J. H. Grant, civil governor of the province of Leyte, P. I., concerning differences of understanding between him self and General J. H. Smith concerning the control ot affairs In that province. The report begins with a complaint ot the ar rest of several native presldentei ot village by tbe military authorities: Unfortunately for the peace and tran quillity of the people of this province, the military authorities have sustained a se vere fright since the Balanglga affair and nave done many things that are calcu lated to hinder the progress of civil gov ernment and make the people Inquire what benefits they are to derive from civil gov ernment. Tbe most Important of these Incidents are described by Governor Grant as fol lows: Immediately after the receipt of the massacre 'at Balanglga the military au thorities began patrolling the town from about 8 p. m. until the next morning, chal lenging and arresting- everyone who could not satisfy the patrol that they were srooa men. on the nlgnt or September So a sentry shot and instantly killed a man who did not hear, or at least did not heed his challenge. Of course the people do not understand why these things should take place under civil government. Speaking of General Smith's achieve ments In the Island, Captain Grant says: Since General Smith has been in com mand here there has not been a single surrender of arms or men, nor has there been a etna-le capture to mv knowledae. The only thing he has accomplished, to my Knowledge, was tne arrest ot a lew men on Ulllran and along the straits, on the confession of one of Lukbane officers, the truth of whose statements Is yet to be established. 8o general are the sensa tional newspaper reports that have reached Manila from reporters traveling with Gen eral Bmith that they are absolutely with out foundation and I have found but one object In view the return of this province to military control. Captain Grant asserts that certain troops were removed from towns in Leyte for the purpose of bringing about military control. ATTACK ALL WHO BUY MEAT Boycotters of Batcher Shops I'se Force to Carry Out Their Plans. NEW YORK. May 17. Rioting about tbe Kosher meat markets In the East Side of this city was continued today, although the regular police forces of the district were reinforced by 500 men of the reserves. The first trouble occurred when Mrs. Jennie Pflsx, one of picket force of twenty women, was arrested on the charge that she assaulted a butcner named Schlosly. When a man went to Schlosly'a this morning to buy meat, tbe women. It Is alleged, took the meat from him and tore it to shreds. Then several of the pickets entered the shop and started to destroy the meat In It. A policeman arrested Mrs. POsx, and was taking ber from tbe shop when be was attacked by tbe other pickets and he bad to summon assistance. Three other policemen answered bis call and Mrs. Pflax was taken to the station" house. Many ot the small butcher shops on tbe East 8!de were not opened for business at all today because ot yesterday's rioting. The trouble Is the outcome of a mass meet ing, of Hebrew women held Wednesday night, at which It was decided to boycott the butchers as long as the present high HE CAMPAIGN IN FIFTH WARD Republican Club Liiteni to Speiien on Pertinent Qneitions. PROPER CONGRESSMAN MAIN SUBJECT Xelson C. Pratt Defends His Cnndldacy sad E. Rosewater Glvea Reasons for Kot Renominating; David H. Mercer. A meeting of the Fifth Ward Republican club in Toung's hall. Sixteenth and Corby streets, Friday night, was addressed by Nelson C. Pratt, candidate for congress E. Rosewater, Judge Joseph H. Blair, C W. Delamatre and William A. PeBord, E J. Cornish had been booked to speak, but It was announced that he bad been called out of the city. Mr. Pratt said In part: "I am making a fight for the congres sional nomination of the Second district and I expect to get It. It I do gt It. It will naturally follow that Dave Mercer will be defeated. The time has come when this district should be represented by some one else. "I fully realize that, should I be elected, enormous responsibilities will rest upon me, but I shall endeavor to discbarge them honorably and with credit to myself and my constituency. There Is much that can be done for this district and atate In con cress that Is not being done! for example, there Is the vast arid districts ot the western part of the state that Irrigation can redeem and that can be made to blos som as the rose with proper treatment. I propose tor one thing to see that this work Is undertaken and that the state receives help In prosecuting It. Democrats Badly Dlsrnpted. Y "The democratic party Is badly disrupted and knows not which way to turn to find a leader. It Is left without thunder save such as It made by reviling tbe United States army that army that has been vic torious wherever It has gone,-and to which this republic owes Its Integrity, Its security and its glory." (Applause.) After pledging himself to stand by the nominee of the convention, and urging his hearers to stand as a unit for the party's candidates and principles, Mr. Pratt ex cused himself, saying he bad several other appointments to fill. William A. DeBord, candidate for county attorney, waa called upon for an address. He said be attended the meeting as a listener rather than as a speaker, but con sented to say a tew words about tbe po litical conditions of the county and con gressional districts, with special reference to the needs of a new man In the office of county attorney. He was followed by Mr. E. Rosewater. who spoke In part as fol lows: Principles Rather Thaa Men. "We must respect principles rather than men In thla coming campaign; men are but temporal, but principles are per manent. There have been detections from the party In the paat, and they are due to the fact that the minority dictates the nominations rather than the majority. The last convention disfranchised this ward, just as It disfranchised every other ward In the city. Omaha has 11,000 re publicans, whllo the county outside ot the city has only 1,300 republicans, yet tbe country has seventy delegates to the city's ninety delegates. South Omaha is Just as badly disfranchised. It has 1.800 repub licans, but gets only eighteen delegates. This is wrong, and must be righted. "The platform must stand for living Is sues ot the hour, but tbe party must nom inate candidates that will stand for those Issues as well." Referring to Congressman Mercer, Mr. Rosewater related an Incident whereby he discovered that Mercer had, In one Qeorge Sabine, a middle man, to transact his busi ness. The Incident was an aftermath of the Greater America exposition. Mr. Rose- water had taken a draft for $200 from Frank Murphy to Washington to give to Dave Mercer to buy a little support for the fair. The draft afterwards turned up In an Omaha bank, bearing on Its back tbe signatures of Mr. Rosewater and ot George Sabine. 'Sabine had the check and Mercer got the money, I hope," said Mr. Rosewater, "but how much of It he spent In the inter eat ot the fair I am unable to say. How ever, I consider It unfortunate that we have to subsidize our representative at Washington to make him warm up to a home Institution. Rotation la Office. "It has been said that It Is customary for communities to return men to con gress term after term, and that this cus tom Is general, but tbla Is not true. I bave been looking up the records and I Ond that out ot the 860 members) of the lower house only fifteen have served more than five consecutive terms, and of these not one comes from the New England states, nor does one come from the states west of the Missouri river. There are some men like Groavenor or Hepburn who have been returned to congress after a lapse of considerable time, but they are few. Ws don't want any man to have a mortgage on the votes ot this district. Ro tation in office Is one of the great prin ciples of republics and one of tbe elements of their safety. We should encourage young blood and new blood to enter tbe race." Judge Blair made a few happy remarks along somewhat similar lines, which were well received, and the meeting closed with a short address by C. W. Delamatre. Mr. Delamatre said some ot bis friends bad been urging blm to become a candidate fcr county attorney, and, while he thanked bis friends for tbelr Interest, hs did not con sider himself a candidate. ROCK ISLAND GETS TO GULF Kaasas City Southern Road laid to Hay Been Beusjht ta Its Interest. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 17. (Special Telegram.) Control of the Kansas City Southern, running from Kansas City to the Oulf of Mexico, has been acquired by the Moo res and John W. Gates for the Rock Island road, by the purchase of the Dutch stock. The same Interests have probably acquired the Arkansas de Choctaw. The latter road has changed hands, but tbe name of the purchaser has not been di vulged. The Kansas City Southern voting trust has three years more to run, but there has always been a serious question as to Its legality, and It Is supposed, with the Rock Island holding . tbe majority stock, there will be no. question that the property will bo turned over to it at once. Information of the dead In Kansas City Southern comes from a source which, though unofficial, has never failed to be reliable In such matters. Prealdent Knott said tonight that he knew nothing of the deal, but that it was a matter con cerning which he would not be likely to be Informed. Announcement of tbe aale of the Arkansas ft Choctaw Is mads on tha authority of a large holder of stock, who declined to say who waa the purchaser. John Bcullin of St. Louis la president of tbe road. The Dutch stockholders have been dissatisfied with the control of the Kansas City Southern because they bave been without any voire In its affaire, not withstanding they hold a majority of tho stock. The voting trust waa so con trolled that Harrlman, Gates and Gould dictated too colic and Us Dutch recently threatened to attack the legality of the voting trust unless given representa tion on the board of directors. To prevent this they were given two directors at tbe last election. WILL NOT GO BACK TO QUEBEC Gaynor and Greene Stay ta Montreal and Arrests Are Held to Bo Legal. MONTREAL. Quebec., May IT. Messrs Gaynor and Grtene are guests at the Windsor hotel, e,ch guarded by a local detective, with a force of United States secret service officers unofficially In re serve. They wll not go back to Quebec, much as they and their friends desire It, and In spite of tbe writ of hsbeaa corpus granted yesterday by Judge Andrews ot Quebec, directing Chief Detective Carpen ter to return his prisoners to that city. When the tug Spray arrived In Montreal this morning Chief Carpenter took his prisoners to La Fontaine's residence and an Impromptu court was convened In the judge's library. Mr. Carpenter banded his prisoners over to the Judge, and the latter. after remanding them for examination on Monday, committed tbem to the care of two detectives with permission to reside at tbe Windsor. In the meantime Con stable Gale of Quebec, with the writ ot habeas corpus, was searching diligently for Mr. Carpenter. At 10 o'clock he found him In his office and served tbe writ. Mr. Carpenter was placed in a dilemma. He was In possession of a document calling upon him to produce the bodies of Gaynor and Greene before Judge Andrews in Que bee today, and be no longer bad the prls oners In his possession, having been re lleved by Judge La Fontaine. He consulted his counsel and waa In formed that If he attempted to return tbe prisoners to Quebec he would be liable to arrest for contempt of the local court. whose mandate he had received and ac knowledged. So an answer setting forth the facts in the matter was prepared and sent down to Quebec, and with that It is expected the Quebec people will bave to remain satisfied. The Jurisdiction of an extradition com missioner extends over the entire domin ion and the arrests of Greene and Gaynor were made by an officer qualified to make arrests In any portion of the province, con sequently there la no doubt that they will nom.
