For Luck of Funds—Village Raided by Out- laws—Firearms. Prohibited; HAVANA, May 2.—During the last few days some of the local papers that are printed in English have published sensational stories regarding the dis- putes between the soldiers and the Cu-- an police eV idently with the intention of preventing an undt 1sta nding be- tween them and, if possible, of stirring . up more tiouble. With out doubt there have occasionally be en instances where . both the Americans and Cubans have been blameworthy. Still there has really been nothing -to warrant such com- ments as have appeared, and conse- Quently Major General Ludlow, milita- ry governor of the Havana department, summoned an offending editor before him and warned him that he must de— sist trying to embroil the soldieis and 1‘ 1e police. “If you refuse, I know of two ways to compel you. One would be to put in force the military regulations and send you to the guardhouse. The other would be to send you before the local judges for the application of the old Spanish law. Personally you may abuse the as much as you like, but for the fu- ture you must abstain from your pres- ent methods in the other matter.” General Ludlow complains that one of the principal diflicultieé Havana is now suffering from is the presence. of many “worthless Americans”—me‘n who come here virtually to change their usual sphere of idleness. In the opinion of General Ludlow it is advisable to wait until autumn before endeavoring to raise the $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 necessary for the contem- plated system of sewerage and other public improvements in Havana. He be- lieves it quite probable that the money can be obtained here in Cuba. According to dispatches from Puerto Principe province, the vil age of San Andres was recently raide by a band of 40 outlaws led by Antonio Barcelo, formerly a citizen of Holguin, Santiago province. The place Was completely sacked, the ‘ bandits carrying .off 20 horses, 3. large quantity of clothing and groceries and $1,200 in money. Five mounted armed men, the dispatches say, attacked a store in the village of Tiena "Azue, abducted the proprietor and his wife and carried away $200 in money. The people of the locality are frantically begging for protection, and a force of rural guards is greatly needed. The Country fclk are moving into the larger towns for safety, while the planters, many of Whom have bought quantities of sugar cane in is'olated localities, fear that the marauders will destroy it be- fore it can be gathered. Under the terms of a new order, pub- lished yesterday, the rule against car- rying arms extends to all arms except those to be used in hunting or for per- sonal defense. La Lucha, commenting upon the or- der editorially, says: “This does not involve what some might imagine. The government does not expect trouble. 'The prohibition is merely precautionary. There is no ne- cessity for ’instruments’ of that class. What we need is plows for the pacifi- cation and reconstruction of Cuba, to complete which calls for the establish- ment of a strong, equitable government and a judicious expenditure on the part of all classes.” Republican Financial Committee. ATLANTIC CITY, May 2.—-—The na- tional house of representatives Repub- lican caucus committee has closed its session.

Ottawa. Police and the St. Reg-ls Tribe Have 11 Fatal Clash. CORNWALL, Ont., May 2.—The St. Regis Indian reservation on the south side of the St. Lawrence, about six miles east of here, was the scene of a fatal affray yesterday between a detachment of Dominion police sent from Ottawa and the Indians. Jake 1129 was instant- ly killed, and two other Indians Were wounded. The cause of the trouble dates back several years. A large’ pro- portion of the Indians of St. Regis vil- lage and St. Regis island object to the election of chiefs for terms of three years under the Indian act and are'de- termined to stick to their old tribal sys- tem of life chiefs. In this stand they are encouraged by the Indians ‘of the ad- joining American reservation,.who, like the Canadian reds, are a branch of the great Iroquois tribe. Three times the Indians have by force prevented the holding of an election, the last time on March 27 last, when they attacked Inspector Hogan and Officer Chamberlain of the Dominion police and kept Indian Agent Long a prisoner for several hours. Yesterday morning a detachment of half a dozen officers ar- rived at St. Regis to arrest the leaders of the riot in March.- They first captur- ed Joseph Thomas and Archie Borbono on St. Regis island. At St. Regis vil- lage they arrested Jake Fire and Louis Thomas, but were surrounded by a mob of Indians, who attempted to rescue the pr1soners. In the fight that followed Jake Ice was shot dead by Commissioner of P0- lice Sherwood, another Indian had his head cracked with the butt of a. revolv— er ahd a third was wounded in the shoulder. The officers succeeded in get- ting their prisoners away and took them to Beauharnois, -Que. Ice was looked upon as the worst Indian in the tribe, Only a short time ago he was ac- cused of an attempt to murder his wife. He was about 50 years of age, and in his younger days was a great athlete and lacrosse player. Sherwood surrendered himself to the authorities at Hunting- don, Que. He claims, that he killed Ice in self defense. , Centrnl’s New Division.
