In that treaty It was stated that 'the United States will, so long as their occupation shall last, assume and discharge the obligations that may, under International law, result from the fact of its occupation for the protection or life and propert.' I suggested that they might then recite, tho Piatt law. which ex pressly declares 'that in fulfillment of the declaration contained In the Joint resolu tion, approved April 20.

This was done by the Inter preter, who read it to me, with the state ment that General Gomez had requested -to have It in writing.

"In talking with the Cubans I told them plainly that there was one universal senti ment in the United States, which they should know in advance; that we would never permit the island of Cuba to pass un der the control of any foreign Government; that, for our own personal security, we wuld not tolerate the presence of a foreign, unfriendly Government there; and that we wanted them a free. Independent Republic, our neighbor and friend: and that If thev j should accept these amendments they could men jiruviue jor tno election ana organiza tion of a republican Government and when so organized it would be capablo of settling ail economic questions with the Untied htates by treaty stipulation. I told them inai, aiicr tneir independence had been ac knowledged, and our relations established, if the peoplo of the Island should apply, through their Government, for admission into the Union as a State, as Texas did, I thought it almost certain that terms of ad mission could be agreed upon, but wo want ed them to come willingly."

After an exciting chase through many States, Joseph Poline, indicted for robbery, was run down and captured in this city at 1 o'clock this morn ing through the shrewdness and detectlvo skill of his bondsman, P. Bruno of San An tonio, Tex., who had been mulcted for IL S00 by the escape of the prisoner. Instead of bemoaning his loss, Bruno de clared he would rearrest the escaped sus pect, and, placing his hotel business ln the hands of his manager, started ln pursuit. Tracing the fugitive to St. Louis, Bruno was about to lay hands on him. when Po line dashed through an open window and again disappeared.' After nearly a month's search Bruno lo cated his man at a boarding-house on Dear born street. Accompanied by Detectives Flynn-and NI land, Bruno went to the house this morn ing. As Flynn approached, three fierce bull dogs owned by the fugitive attacked him. Jurt then Bruno, becoming Impatient, broke in the door.

War of Passenger Hales "Begun on Eastbound Business Frqm Kansas City. ALL LINES WILL BE INVOLVED. Wabash Insists Upon Preserva tion of Its Arbitraties Meet- ; in Xew York C, B. & Q. Circulars Notes. lilt! v-- on eastbound rates out of Kansas City has been inaugurated. Chairman B. E. MacLeod of the Western Passenger As sociation yesterday notified all lines, in in terest that the competitors of the Wabash would apply the differential rate of $29.05 from Kansas City to New Tork over the standard routes. This means a reduction ln rates of J1.93. I, Upon receiving this notice General Pas senger Agent C. S. Crane ot the Wabash im mediately sent the following to Chairman MacLeod: "I have your telegram of April JO, an nouncing that the Santa Fe, Burlington. Alton, Chicago Great Western, St. Paul and Rock Island have given notice that Cflm menclng May 1 they will apply same rates for tickets, all classes, Kanxas City to De troit, Buffalo, New York, Boston, and all Eastern cities reached through Detroit, as are now in effect for salo of tickets by the Wabash line -md honored on their fast mall train from Kansas City, such rates via these lines to apply In sale of tickets via St. Louis, Chicago or intermediate gateways and all regular ticketing routes, I note you add that this practically means the sale of tickets at differential rates from Kansas City via ail legitimate routes. "Please submit to vote of association, by wire, proposition permitting the Wabash to sell to points affected by the proposed ac tion of the lines mentioned in your message at rates from Kansas City arrived at by continuing to preserve the same amount of differcrce that we are now accorded ln Kansas City joint rate sheet as between the so-called standard and differential routes." This proposition of the Wabash will, of course, be negatived and then individual ac tion will be taken and the Wabash will put ln a rate of $27.10 between Kansas City and New York. If this rate is met a further reduction will follow and the war of rates go merrily on until the executive officials step in and adjust differences. The stand taken by the Wabash Is best explained ln the following letter which Gen eral Passenger Agent Crane has mailed to IJ. F. Bowes, compiler of the Kansas City rate sheet: "Having been advised that the Chicago and Alton, Atchison, Topekaand Santa Fe, Chicago Great Western, Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul and Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific propose to offer to you for insertion In the Kansas City rat sheet to take effect June 1, 1901. or thereabouts rates from Kansas City- to (Detroit, Buf falo, New York, Boston and other Eastern cities reached through Detroit, made less man a combination 01 agreea tares irom Kansas City to St. Louis; Bloomlngton, Chicago, or any other gateway, and exist ing agreed fares from said gateways, I de sire to enter a formal protest against your acceptance of such rates. "This company maintains that the present fares to the pmnts described are properly made ln accordance with the rules, regula tions and. customs which have heretofore prevailed ln making through passenger fares. That you may understand the situa tion, I desire to maks the following ex planatlonst "To Illustrate my point, I will select the present first-class rate of S29.05 from Kan sas City to New York via. the D., L. & W. R. R. This rate has been in effect for sev eral years, and Is made by adding the reg ular first-class rate of W.40 from Kansas City to Bloomlngton, 111., to the regular agreed established fare of S19.6J from Bloomlngton to New York via the D., L. & W. R. R., and was put Into effect under the following resolution adopted at an ad journed special meeting of the Western Passenger Association at Chicago, Novem ber 10 and 11. 1836, to wit: " 'Resolved, That this association will use the so-called differential 'rates published ln the rate sheets, showing eastbound rates from points on the eastern boundary of the territory of this association as basing rates, making through rates by adding to them our regular rates, such through rates to be made by the short lino and applied by all routes up to the eastern boundary line of our association, and to apply only by the so-called differential routes beyond our territory, it being understood and agreed that the lines In this association shall re ceive as their proportion of such rates not less than the amount that accrues to their respective lines via tne same gateway on business routed over the so-called strong lines. Dotn east ana west Douna, and tne members of this association Dledc-e them selves to exact these proportions in division ot sucn tnrougn rates "At a meeting ot the following Kansas City eastbound lines, held at St. Louis March 13, viz. A., T. & S. F., Chicago and Alton. Burlington, Chicago Great Western. C, M. & St. P.. C. R. I. & P.. Missouri Pacific and Wabash, a resolution was of fered, which, if adopted, would have re quired the Wabash Railroad to raise its rates from Kansas City to New York over the D.. Ij. tc W. from $3.03 to Ml, making the through rate via this route more than a combination of two existing intermediate rates, as will bo shown by figures given above. Furthermore, it would have re quired the Wabash to exact from connect ing lines on all business ticketed via the Wabash Railroad through Hannibal to the East, more than a combination of inter mediate rates, as before explained. The resolution failed to carry, and for this rea son notice has been served by the Kansas Cits' eastbound lines before mentioned that, effective May 1. 1901. they propose to cut certain rates before described." Mr. Crane left last nls-ht for New York to attend a meeting of the Joint Passenzer Committee on May 2, at which this entire matter will be taiten up. dlscucscd and act ed upon.
