Washington (Special). - The incident growing out of Minister Wu's criticisms of General Otis in his letter to the Society of the Genesee is probably closed satisfactorily. Minister Wu has dis-

avowed to the State Department any intention of criticizing the Government of the United States.

It is understood that Mr. Wu believed the exclusion of the Chinese from the Philippines to have originated with General Otis and not with the War Department, or any other branch of the

Government, and in speaking of his

(General Otis) having been ill advised, it is understood there was in Mr. Wu's mind the idea that some local representations in the Philippines had operated upon his mind to induce him to exclude the Chinese.

Wealthy Ohio Farmer Tortured to Reveal

Location of Valuables.

Mansfield, Ohio (Special). - One of the moat dastardly robberies ever perpetrated in this part of the country was committed near McKay, a hamlet of

Ashland county.

Six masked robbers broke into the residence of John Duncan, a wealthy farmer, bound and gagged him and the four other members of the family, and after ransacking the house demanded

of the farmer that he disclose to them where his money and other valuables

were secreted. On his refusing to do

so they applied matches to his feet, tor-

turing him, as well as the others, until the location of the money was disclosed.

They secured $450, four watches, and other valuables, after which four of the

robbers, leaving their victim still helpleas. stole a team of horses and bobsled

and made their escape.

Washington (Special). - It is now apparent to the officers of the administration that it will scarcely be possible for the United States to withdraw entirely from the government of Cuba under the most favorable circumstances before next fall at the earliest. This is conceding the possibility that the Cuban

convention may adopt a constitution en-

tirely acceptable to this Government on or before the first of April next. It is recognized on all sides that it

will require several months after the adoption of the constitution to complete the organization of the Cuban govern-

ment and have it in successful opera-

tion. All the national officers must be chosen, laws enacted for the collection of'revenues and the establishment of a stable government, a police force or constabulary organized to take the place of the United States military force

Wichita, Kan. (Special). - Mrs. G.

their liquor business, which they did. But the women now demand that they give up their billiard and pool tables also. This they refuse to do, and the women threaten to smash them. A

raid is expected every moment, and the town is excited. The jointists say the removal of the liquor brings their business within the pale of the law, and that they will fight to protect it.
