ARMY PREPARING TD PACIFY CUBA Preiiminary Steps Taken Case Intervention Is Necessary. in THREE WARSHIPS ARE SENT Cruller Denver Arrives at Ilavana, and Marietta Sent to Clenfuegos. All Available Troops to Be Sent If Needed. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. President Roosevelt Is keenly alive to the progress of. the revolutionary movement in Cuba snd the responsibility of the United States In case the conditions grow worse and intervention becomes necessary. It is known that the President .will not intervene until It appears absolutely nec essary, yet steps have been taken which would make such intervention effective. The ships that have been sent to Cuba are there for the purpose only of pro tecting American interests and furnish ing asylum for Americans who may be in danger from the warring factions. ' Actual intervention would mean the use of the army and all the available forces would no doubt be needed, and will bo ready if a serious situation de velops. Under present conditions the army has been kept In a better state of preparation than ever before and will be ready if called upon. Correspondence between the President, the Secretary of War and General Bell, chief of staff, has provided for all contingencies. It isrecognized that Intervention would not be "holiday" matter, but that an army would be necessary and, in case of intervention, every available man of the regular army will be used and will be sent to Cuba as fast as possible. Al though no regular transports are availa ble on the Atlantic coast. It is known where the transports can be obtained as soon as needed. Some weeks ago the Sixth and Twenty first Regiments of Infantry were ordered home from the Philippines, it being stated that their term of service in the Islands was completed. The transports which sailed .last Winter for the Philippines will bring available troops to the At lantic, coast and also the transports, which would be very necessary if the Piatt amendment Is involved. MORE WARSHIPS GO TO CUBA Cruiser Denver and Gunboat Mari etta Will Guard Interests. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. President Roosevelt's policy of preparedness for any emergency in Cuba, so far as the Immediate operation of war vessels Is concerned, was announced at the State Department today. It Includes the arri val at Havana tonight of the protected cruiser Denver and the gunboat Marietta at Clenfuegos some time tomorrow. The cruiser Des Moines will remain at Key West until further orders. In making public these facts. Acting Secretary of State Bacon said that there was no disposition on the part of this Government to make a demonstration in Cuban waters, but that the Insurrection bad attained such proportions it had be come necessary to take steps for the protection of American interests In Cuba. The Department believes that for the present the Denver will be sufficient for all needs along the northern coast of Cuba, and the Marietta for the southern coast. The exchange of messages between the State Department and Mr. Sleeper, Charge at Havana, and other American representatives in Cuba, which are sup posed to have told of conditions requir ing that prompt action be taken to safe guard Americans and their, property, will not be discussed by officials of either the State or Navy departments. It Is ad mitted, however, that all those messages have been forwarded on their receipt to President Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay, who for several weeks has personally directed the policy of the United States concerning the Cuban outbreak. In this connection there was an Inci dent conderning the orders to the Denver. After the maneuvers In Long Island Sound, the Denver proceeded to New Lon don, Conn., for coal, sailing on Saturday for Norfolk, Va. In the meantime con ditions In Cuba seemed to demand that a war vessel immediately proceed tcr Havana, and the Denver was the only one available. Under orders from Oyster Bay she was reported at sea by a wire less telepraph dispatch and changing her course, headed directly for Havana. Nothing was made publlo concerning this order until today. The runboat Marietta was at Monte Crlstl, attached to the West Indian squadron. She has JuBt been ordered to proceed up the southern coast of Cuba to Clenfuegos, where she will be stationed until further orders. The programme for the Des Moines does not call for her to proceed to Cuban waters, and it is said she probably will be used in preventing filibustering expe ditions from the United States embark ing to Cuba. In spite ot the sudden ac tivity of this Government, it is declared that there is no Intention to take part in the conflict beyond that demanded by the critical situation in which Americans have been placed on the island. That the President has considered the ultimate possibility of intervention, or, at least, the use of force In safeguarding the Interests of this Government, there can be no doubt. This is known by the fact that the Navy Department has been called upon for a statement of the num ber of marines that might be available in the event of trouble. There are be tween 600 and 700 marines now in the vi cinity of the West Indies. They are scat tered through Santo Domingo, Porto Kico and Culebra islands, and some are on the Isthmus of Panama. FLOOR RED WITH BLOOD (Cbntlnvied From Pan 1.) broken glass and in the mess Deputy Minto found several bullets. Through the walls were found 16 bullet holes and three of them the qfflcers discovered were made by a large-caliber revolver. This gave them the-clew to look for the man who had carried a large-sized revolver. A man was found that had seen East man with a 44-callber revolver sticking from his trousers. When the Canadian was asked where the weapon was, he de nied having seen or carried one. From 3:30 until almost 10 o'clock this morning the officers kept after Seely, Eastman and Murphy. Eastman went to sleep once and used the top of an an cient piano for a bed. While the officers were putting Seely and Murphy through the third' degree. Dr. Ivan Dandaigue, who had dressed all of the wounded, opened the piano and drew from the dis cordant thing several weird and uncanny pieces of muslo without awakening the sleeper. Eastman Makes Confession. For an hour Eastman slept a restless sleep. He was roused and taken to breakfast and again the officers tried to get him to tell them what he had done with the big revolver. In the meantime Murphy had admitted that the revolver was his id that he knew that Eastman had taken the weapon from behind the bar and bad rushed out of the saloon de claring that he would get even with someone. This was enough for the officers. Eastman was seated in Ray's store and Deputy Minto came after him and placed the handcuffs on his wrists. The irons were too much for the fellow, and he broke down. Eastman confessed he had taken the revolver, and that when he brought it back he had put It in the liquor-room. Then he told the officers that he saw the big revolver in Bustrin's hand when the shooting was going on. Revolver Found In Pretzel Barrel. This statement confirmed what Alfred Lambert had told the officers, that the . ...v. i. ,1 .hnt at Vi i m and hnd killed mail n uu uau b.ivl " - ...... Marshal Krechter had rushed out of the liquor-room. Lambert Identified Bustnn aa the man he saw rush out of the room, n.a a nnt until Rntman had con fessed that he had shown Bustrin where he had hidden the revolver tnai ine om- cers were sure they had the ngnt man in Sheriff Culver found the revolver burled deep In a barrel of pretzels, uerore uw Coroner s jury murpny uwuucu mo.,. had hidden it there. When the officers had all the evidence ready Coroner Clough summoned a Jury. Seely and Eastman told their story, East man admitting to the Jurors, that he saw Bustrin with the revolver in his hand, and of having seen him once during the terrific fight, lying on the floor of the liquor room. Bustrin Charged With Murder. After hearing the evidence of the other witnesses the Jury returned a verdict, charging Fred Bustrin with the crime of killing Marshal Krechter and naming Seely, Eastman and Murphy aa parties to the crime. An ambulance was called from Salem and when it arrived Bustrin, Seely, Eastman and Murphy were taken to Salem and placed in Jail. The murder of Joe Krechter has roused the citizens of St. Paul and the verdict of the Coroner's jury was a source of re joicing. The hop yards around St. Paul have been noted for years for the rough characters that work on the' fields. Hardly a season has passed, but that the saloons of St. Paul have been the scene of disgraceful fights and drunken orgies. Rowdy hoppickers were in the habit of taking the town and running it to suit themselves. To avoid bloodshed the city officials had in the past refrained from placing the rioters under arrest. But the assault yesterday on old man Raymond was so brutal that Mayor Ray determined to put a stop to it, although he had hoped to accomplish the arrests without murder. Marshal Not a Strong Man. Joe Krechter, the murdered man, was one of the best known young men in that section of the county. He was a rrall fellow and it was known to all that he was suffering from heart trouble. The rough element took advantage of this and undertook to terrorize the town. Krechter leaves a bride of a year, who has only recently risen from a sick bed, having lost her baby. Late tonight It was learned that Seeley, Eastman and Bustrin had about four weeks ago cleaned out the Savoy Saloon at Astoria. The three men had been fish ing and at the close of the season had gone on a protracted drunk. It Is said that Eastman had a fight with a logger and when bystanders went to interfere Seely and Bustrin took a hand and rough, housed the saloon. Dr. Van Dandaigre tonight stated that both Tost and Howe would recover unless complications should set in. STENSLAND STARTS HOME Sails From Gibraltar In Custody ot Chicago Men. TANGIER, Sept. 12.

EXPOSES A GRAFTER Russian Paper Says Rennen kampff Robbed Army. DEFIES HIM TO SUE IT Promptly Suspended by General's Friends Officials Admit Troops Massacred Siedlce People In Retaliation. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 12 The Perle, an organ of the moderate Liberal party, has been suspended on account of its publication of an article by M. Demi chensky. a well-known writer, attacking the bureaucratic system, in the course of which General Rennenkampff was flatly charged with thievery and defied to bring an action for libel. The article alleged that General Rennenkampff had filled his pockets from the military fund and with tribute levied upon his subordinates dur ing the Russo-Japanese War, and he was asked to explain why the investigation started by' General Dobermuschnitzy, which was interrupted by the battle of Mukden, was never resumed. An official dispatch received here from Siedlce today In reference to the recent massacre, asserts that the excesses of the soldiery were in the nature of retaliation and a battle of troops against terrorists. The official list of the dead embraces 44 names, of whom only one was a soldier. The report adds that the disorders have been entirely suppressed. News has been received from Vlyatka of the unfrocking of a priest named Ogo nleff, who was a member of the outlawed Parliament, for revolutionary agitation. This makes two of the clerical members of the late Parliament who have been un frocked. Father Poyarkoff, a third radi cal, has been imprisoned by order of the synod. OFFICIAL STORY OF MASSACRE Firing From nouses on Soldiers Brought Return Fire. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 12. Following Is the text of the official version of the recent incidents at Siedlce: "September 1 shots were fired at an of ficer from a house on Grodno street and several young persons were arrested. The night passed quietly. On the evening of the 11th an officer was fired at in Stodlonai street, whereupon soldiers fired at two houses. That night two shots were flred from a garden near the treasury apparently at sentries. The soldiers fired eight shots in return. "Six injured Jews and a Jewess were received at the Christian hospital, three of whom died. In the Jewish hospital there were 17 dead and 12 persons serious, ly and 60 slightly wounded. Twenty-one persons have been burled in the Jewish cemetery. Fifty-four persons were ar rested, 43 of whm were carrying arms in their hands. "As a result of incendiarism 12 fires broke out, but were prevented from spreading by the firemen. Seven cannon shots were flred. Houses in the center of the town were the principal sufferers by the rifle flre. "A considerable number of shops were plundered and house fittings were de stroyed. Jews are leaving town, some of them going to neighboring towns and villages. On Wednesday perfect quiet had been restored in Siedlce and other towns In the district." FORBIDS PARTY CONVENTION Stolypln Calls Democrats Dangerous. Land as Bribe to Peasants. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 12. The pro posed meeting of the Constitutional Dem ocratic party has been prohibited by Premier Stolypln. He said he considered the Constitutional Democrats to have been an undesirable party in Parliament, because "their respectability was a cloak for highly dangerous sedition and criti cism." Preparations are already under way to hold the meeting in Finland, prob ably at Hetelngfors. The activity of the administration in putting its land programme Into force Is a source of considerable alarm in the camp of the Constitutional Democrats. The organs of the party admit that the amount of land to be distributed is a dangerous factor In winning the support of the peasantry. In pursuance of the policy of strength ening the loyalty of the guard regiments, the Pavlovsky regiment was feted today at Peterhof. The regiment -was reviewed by the Emperor, who afterward enter tained the officers at luncheon. FAMINE IN THE PROVINCES Four Governments Added to the List of Twenty-Nine. ODESSA, Sept. 12. (Special.)

The Zemstvo organizations do not con tribute more than (7,600,000, and the Im perial exchequer must furnish the re mainder. The famine Is most acute In Samara, Saratov, Simbirsk, Kazan, Penza, Tambov and Urfa. CZAR WILL GO YACHTING Seek Peace From Terrorists Among Isles of Finland. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 12.

General Moeller-Sakomelsky, who subdued the mutiny at Sevastopol, has been appoint ed commander of the Fifth Army Corps at Warsaw. The General, who stands high in the confidence of the Emperor on account of the energy shown by him in other situations, has been selected as the best officer for the task of making life in Warsaw safe.
