PELEE ISLAND WANTS
ANNEXATION TO 11. S.
Associated Press.
Ottawa Ont. March 27.—The fact
that the people living on Pelee island
are clamoring for annexation to the
United States was brought out in the
house yesterday when Mr. Clark of
Essex county made a strong plea for
an amendment of the coasting laws
which wilf permit United States ves-
sels to call at the island.
No Canadian boats touch there now.
ami the people are in a rebellious
mood because of the treatment they
have been receiving.
Sir Wilfred stated in reply
to Mr. Clark that the coasting laws
could not be changed at this time just
when Canada was asking the United
States for repicrocity in matters af-
fecting coastwise shipping.
He hinted however that a Cana-
dian boat would be subsidized to make
regular trips to Pelee island.

THE MATTER.
Nearly a Thousand Rifles and a Large
Quantity of Cartridges Consigned to
the Rural Guards at Havana —In
Another Seizure Made the Cartridges
Were Hidden Under a False Bottom
of a Trunk.
Associated Press.
New York March 27—" The seizure
of some arms by the jkilice In Havana
a few day s ago has created some spec-
ulation as to the purpose for which
they were introduced iuto Cuba" says
today's Tribune.
"The Cuban government feels some-
what concerned it is said by the ship-
ment on Saturday last of nearly 1000
rifles and a large quantity of car-
tridges from this city consigned to
the rural guards ai Havana. It was
learned yesterday that another seizure
was made at Havana a few weeks ago
of a quantity of cartridges which the
shippers had tried to. introduce into
the republic as contraband. These
cartridges were sent' to Havana by
way of Mobile hidden between the
outer covering of a packing case and
a secret inner covering like the false
bottom of a trunk. The unusual weight
of the case aroused the suspicion of
the customs officials who made an in-
vestigation and discovered the contra-
band ammunition.
‘•There have been several other ship-
ments . f like character of late all it
is said wade to one consignee in Ha-
vana. The frequency of these con-
signments has aroused the suspicion
of the Cuban authorities and a close
watch is kept on them."

SAN ANTONIO. TEXAS TUESDAY MARCH 27. 1906.
. The house not having eery much to
do pending the report from las com-
1 mittee on the election bill adopt J 1 a
number of resolutions of no Im; ort-
ance.
Captain W. P. Zuber one of the
four survivors of the Battle of San
Jacinto made a speech in .he house.
The general impression prevails
that the house will pass the senate
bill and that this will end the special
session. In the senate there was
nothing of importance to do. Most < f
the morning session was atent on a
resolution presented yesterday on the
death of former Governor Hogg.
Speeches were made by Senators
Hawkins Glasscock Faulk Statlord
Grinnan and others.
Senator Faulk introduced two bills
one providing for an appropriation of
$lOOO to pay for contingent ex;tenses
and one an appropriation of $2.1.000
for mileage and per diem of the mem-
bers for the special session.
An effort was made to suspend the
constitutional rule requiring the bills
to pay over for three to pass
the mileage and per diem bill but it
failed by a vote of 14 to 13. it taking
a two-thirds vote to suspend. This
means that the senate may not pass
the bill.
The senate then went into executive
session and confirmed the api»oint-
ments sent in yesterday by the gov-
ernor.
It adjourned to 10 o’clock tomorrow-
morning.
