PEOPLE DISCUSSING OUTLOOK
FOR GOVERNMENT OF ISLAND
Mass Meeting Called for Sunday Elcc
tlons Will Not be Held In January
Cuban Preference Being In
June Disarmament.
Havana Oct. 4. Now that tliu ills-
armament of the revolutionists and
government volunteers is progressing
steadily thoughtful people of all na-
tionalities are discussing1 the possintt-
Itles of Cuba's future form of govern-
ment. The Inside Information which
has hocn carefully withheld for the
past four years Is now voiced openly
and the wish that the United States
retain some measure of actual control
In Cuban affairs Is heard more Insist-
ently than ever.
Representatives of leading elements
both Cuban and loroign have boon
asked to attend a meeting Sunday to
discuss some plan by which all
classes will bo enabled to express
their Ideas on what the future form of
government should he. One plan sug-
gested Is the formation Into groups
of the various foreign elements or.ru
of which will formulate Its own pro-
ject of government. The Idea of hold-
ing the next cloctjons In January has
been entirely abandoned the genernl
preference among Cubans appearing
to favor holding elections In June
The question of the status ot con
Kress and whether senators and rep
rosontattves are to receive their sal
arlos after the establishment of the
provisional government will be decid
cd In Washington.
On the wholo the worl; of disarma
ment is proceeding smoothly. It ap
pears today however that Gen. As
hert's agreement to disarm and dis
band was conditional on the surroii
dcr and disarmament also of the po-
licemen In tho town of Gullies. (Jens.
Funston and Agramonte went In nn
automobile to Clulnes to straighten
out tho matter. On their nrrival tho
mayor of Gullies Senor Ayaln. abso-
lutely reflsed to dischargo the police.
(Ion. Funston dclared that unless the
mayor agreed to tho conditions an
armed force would have to be sent to
disarm Asbert's army which numbers
1100 men. and that this would possibly
result In bloodshed. Argument had no
effect o nthe mayor until he was told
that ho could retain tho pollco payroll
and reinstate his men after nuict had
been restored.
Oen. Funston further suggested the
sending of marines to police tho town
and this plan was accepted. (Jons.
Funston nnd Agramonto then visited
Oen. Asbert nt the village of Cottero
and found him agreeable to a compro-
mise. Accordingly twenty-ono marines
will bo sent to (Julncs tomorrow to po-
llco tho town and to receive under the
supervision of (Jen. Agramonte tho
arms of Asbert's force.
(Jen. Asbert like other rebel com-
manders Is particular anxious that
every man of his command lay down
his arms. Tho reason Is that thoso
commnnders nsplro to and expect to
no prominent factors In political con-
trol after next elect Ion day and they
do not desire tho presence of largo
bodies of nion who might arlso against
them should they he permitted to re-
tain their nrms. Asbert's men win
begin to move on toward (Julues to-
nicrrow and the actual surrender ot
arms will probably take place on Sat-
urday. Whilo on their way from Havana to
GuineK (Jen. Funston nnd (Jen Agra-
monte wore halted by Insurgent sen-
tlnols who threatened to lire upon
them In tho belief that they belonged
to the rural guards. Tho sentinels
were profuso In their apologies when
they learned who wore In the automo-
bile. Tho nows that Oen. Funston was
passing through spread throughout the
section and on tho return trip to i.a-
vana women along tho route pelted
Funston's automobile with (lowers.
Thoro wero somo shots In tho vi-
cinity of Santa Clara last night fired
by volunteers who had not yet been
disbanded hut Gov. Ahlontan tolo-
graphed (Jov. Taft today that disarm-
ament In Santa Clara Province was
going on steadily and nnlotly. Senor
Aldeman has consented to remain gov-
ernor of tlio jirovlnce.
Tho rebels of Santiago Province
have joined tho general disarming
movement. Tiro latest dispatch recclv-

oner In the Knox county Jail here af-
ter an unsuccessful attempt to swindle

the same game by which she obtained
$1000 from the Fli-.U National bank
and the Knox college otricinls also
of (Jaleshurg.
The young woman was arrested this
morning nt Ahlngtou after a sensa-
tional chase. The girl Is but 20 years
of age hut Is labeled by Wt-Uorn Illi
nois police as the cleverest woman
swindler that ever operated in this
section. She Is believed to bo tho
mysterious '-college student" who ban
recently been swindling scores of col-
leges throughout tho east.
On Saturday ihe appeared In Mon-
mouth college conservatory ot music
and was assigned a room In the dor-
mitory. Late that afternoon she ap-
peared at tho People's National bank
of Monmouth and nuked that n check
for $fi000 drawn on the First National
bank of Burlington be cashed. The
size of Ihe check put tho cashier on
his muird the check was refused nnd
early Sunday morning the yo.i-.iz wo-
man wiiB ejected from tho dormitory.
Yesterday she appeared In Gales-
burg and registered at Knox college.
At her requcul the authorities gave
her a letter to the First National haul:
stating that she was a student and
desired to open an account. She pre-
sented two checks one for $SO0 and
another for $200 both drawn by Mon
mouth nion and forgeries. At her le
anest sho ' 'celvcd $200 and the bal-
ance writ deposited to her account.
At tho noon hour while the clerk

ner she appeared at tho bank and
presented a check for tho balanco of
Ihe deposit $S00. Tho clerk examln
ed the books found her credited with
$S00 and her previous check for $200
honored by his superior. Ilo fell into
tho trap. I Id gave her the $S00 and
she went out and spent a largo part
of the money shopping. Later she left
Gn1thurg and was captured at Ah
iugdou.
She has confessed that the checks
wore forgeries and represents that a
man accomplice compelled her under
threats of death to commit tho crime.
She refuses to reveal tho Identity of

tion as to whether she had one.

Three Selections Altogether.
Pawhuska Ok.. Oct. I. The Osage

gaged In checking up tile first selec-
tions made by the members of the

Indian agent by Oct. 1 and Colonel
Hot Miliard the Osage Indian agent
will at once begin making selections
for delinquents and minors. Surveying
parties will at once be jmt In the Held
by the allotting commission to see that
the descriptions given by tho Indians
In making their selections really cover
the land that they want and that none
of tho selections overlap.
Tho Osugcs have three selections al-
together after which what Is left will
bo divided equally among the mem-
bers of the tribe but tho second se-
lection cannot he mado until July 1
1907 as the allotment bill provides
that nil children born before July 1
1907. shall be entitled to their full
share of land and the work of taking
the second sections therefore cannot
be commenced until all of theso new-
born children are allowed their first
selections. As both the second nnd
third selections hnve to be checked
up In the same way as the first It can
teadlly he seen that It will require
two or three years for tho allotting
hoard to complete Its work.

Interpreter. He has been the Inter-
preter at the various tribal council-
and co.'i'nliatlons with the representa-
tives of the government for tho last
thirty-five years translating Ihe Osage
language Into ICngllsh and tho Kngllsh
Into Osage and knows more people
and inoro Osage history than any oth-
er man on the reservation. Aside from
his ability as an Interpreter his thor-
ough knowledge of the Osagos and
Osagn affairs make him a very valua-
ble man for the commission W have
In its employ.
