WEEKLY-NegwAL dz — KNGAZEN 'rE .* $3 GOVERNORS CONFER. Various Schemes For Cuba’s Advancement Discussed. REPORTS OF AN INSURGENT BAND. Paymaster Randall Pays One Hun— dred and Seventy-five Cubans and Rejects Fifty—Officers Charge For Identifying Their Men. HAVANA, June 2.—Governor General Brooke and the governors of the military departments had a conference lasting three hours yesterday regarding the gen- eral situation in the island. They'then had luncheon together, after which an- other two hours were occupied with a less formal discussion. The principal topic was how to revive agricultural life and how to give work instead of food to the destitute. The propriety of buying oxen and implements was strongly urged by Major General \Vilson, governor of the Matanzas-Santa Clara department, and his rguu'lents received full consider- ation. A majority of the conference. however, was rather opposed to this plan, and no definite conclusions were reached. But the full exchange of views will probably result in greater uniformity of administration. ' _ Patricio Valdez and Antonio Perez, citizens of Havana. say that on Monday. while in search for work. they reached Rincon. in this province. They found no work there, but a Cuban captain gave them food and a night’s lodging. and on the next day they resumed their search. Eventually they arrived at the plantation Delicias. between Rincon and Santiago de las Vegas, which they entered with the intention of gathering fruit. Sudden- ly they came upon men in drill suits without insignias. evidently sentinels. Whistles were blown, and others emerg- ed from the bushes. A tall mulatto called Captain Guerra gave Valdez and Perez food, afterward asking them whether they wanted to join his .band and seek their fortunes. This they re— fused to do. At the house there were good horses, and the party, which num- bered about 90, had a flag, a small dupli- cate of the Spanish flag, except that, in- stead of arms. it bore a triangle inclos- . ing the letters “U. N. C.” The men were well armed and apparently had money. - Colonel Randall, continuing the distri‘ bution of the American gratuity, paid $75 each to 170 men yesterday at Mele- na, this province. He used the freight shed at the Melena railway depot as his office. Fifty applicants were rejected, either because they had no arms or be- cause their names were not on the rolls’ or because they lacked proper identificaw tion. He discovered that some of the Cuban officers who have been objecting to their men receiving the bounty were in the habit of charging $5 for each identifica- tion. This practice was promptly stop- ped. A Woman Bandit. PHOENIX, A. T.. June 2.—VVOrd has reached here that the stage coach was held up yesterday midway between Globe and Florence by two bandits. I l . \Vasli'ton.. Each was . armed with two revolvers, which were: leveled at the four passengers and the driver. Five pairs of hands went up in the air, and the horses came to a halt. To their surprise, the passengers saw that one of the bandits was a youthful ; and pretty woman. She kept the victims covered with her revolvers while her companion climbed up on the stage and relieved the passengers of $350. a pistol and a gold 'watch. Monthly Debt Statement.

Testimony Before the anet Com- mittee Too Bad to Print. NEIV YORK, Jnue 2.——The sessions of the Mazet committe" yesterday were noticeable chiefly for to .- points, one the turning at bay of Mr. Moss and the oth- er evidence regarding the existence in- this city of the most nauseating form of legeneracy and depravity. Neither inci- ient took up much time. by far the greater part of the session being devoted to the examination of President Ii‘eitner and Commissioner Sheehy, both of the tax board. Their evidence merely went to show the long established inefficiency of the system of personal taxation and revealed nothing sensational. Mr. Moss opened the session with an . outburst of indignation against the way in which the witnesses had treated him. He demanded the protection of the com- mittee, and announced his intention of bringing Police Captain Price before the committee to make him prove the charges he made on W'ednesday against Mr. Moss. The evidence regarding the flagrant existence of the worst forms of degen- eracy was given by two of Mr. Moss’ agents. Their testimony, to a great ex- tent. was unpublishable, but it estab- lished the fact that under the eyes of the police there was openly running up to “'cdnesday night, on the Bowery, a re— sort which rivaled in filth and putridity that sink in Cleveland street, London, which was unearthed and gained inter- national notoriety several ycars ago. The difference between the two was the Bow- cry resort was apparently patronized by persons of low social standing. BASEBALL SCORES. Results of Yesterday's Games In the National League.

W’ASHINGTON, June 1.—Secretary Gage,- in commentng on the president’s recent civil service order, said: “The president has not made a change in the civil service rules that was not urged by the head of the department con- cerned and urged with satisfactory rea- sons why the change would not be bene- ficial to the transaction of public busi- ness. I believe that is true of all the de- partments. While I cannot speak with authority of other departments, it’ is cer- tamly true with the treasury. No change was made in the civil service regulations affecting the treasury that we did not recommend to the president on our own initiative. “The order is not yet well understood, nor have the reasons for the changes which the experience of administration may explain been comprehended by per- sons not close to the administration of public affairs. “The only large class of places in the treasury service which have been ex- empted are the defieuty collectors of inter- nal revenue, and politics has had nothing to do with that exemption. I have given the question the most .careful study, and I do not believe it was either lawful or just to have the places of deputy collect- ors of internal revenue included in the classified service. “Another class of exceptions has been the private secretaries to certain bureau heads. The list is not a long one, and it is not the character of place which will be opened to political pressure. A man should be free to choose his confidential secretary. “The exceptions in the Alaskan service have been made necessary by the great distance from \Vashington and the time consumed in making certificates and ap- pointments. “It should be noted that in the case of nearly all these excepted places, with the exception of private secretaries, it is pro- vided that the person appointed must successfully pass an examination equiva- lent to the one held by'the commission for positions of like character. There is no letting down in the requirements for ascertained fitness and, in my opinion, there will be no deterioration in the qual- ifications of people appointed.” CCNFERRING WITH KRUGER. Governor General Milner Given an Enthusiastic Reception. BLOEMFON'I‘EIN, Orange Free State, June 1.-—Sir Alfred Milner, gov- ernor general of the Cape Colony and British commissioner in South Africa, and President Kruger of the South Afri- can Republic have arrived here for the purpose of holding a conference.
