Public Triumphal Entry Into
New York City Today.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29. Under gray
skies, but in exuberant spirits and
bronzed by the suns of many climes
during a year of travel completely
around the world, William Jennings
Bryan- of Nebraska, twice the nominee
of the Democratic party for President
of the United States and already In
dorsed as the candidate of 190S,
steamed up New York Bay this after
noon on the steamer Prlnzess Irene
and received an ovation from large
welcoming parties which went down
to quarantine to meet and cheer the
ln-comlng vessel and Its distinguished
passenger.
Mr. Bryan did not enjoy his usual
health during the voyage, but he was
much better today and said, that he
felt sure he would be able to carry eut
the. plans which have been made for
him during the next few days. He
was very much fatigued when he
boarded the steamer and during the
entire voyage suffered from indiges
tion and severe headaches. His illness
was not serious enough to interfere
with his work, however, and. be. de
voted a large portion of the nice days
at sea to preparing his speeches and
keeping up his correspondence.
Ik Retirement Till Tonight.
Mr. Bryan will not land In New York
City proper until tomorrow afternoon,
. whan he will be received at the Bat
tery by . delegations . of prominent
Democrats from all parts of the coun
try and escorted to the hotel where
he will make his headqifarters while
here. He was taken off the Prlnzess
Irene by special permission of Presi
dent Roosevelt shortly after the ves
sel had anchored in quarantine. First
he went aboard two tugs which had
been chartered by "Bryan's Nebraska
Home Folks,' where he was exultantly
greeted and hailed as the next Presi
dent. He then went aboard the trim
little yacht mini, owned by his long
timt friend and schoolmate, Edward F.
Ooltra of St. Louis, where such well
known Democrats as Norman B. Mack,
National committeeman for New York,
and Daniel J. Campau, National com-
WELCOM
BRYAN
f. mitteeman from Michigan, were await
ing him.
Conference on Politics.
On the Illinl, Mr. Bryan was taken
to the landing of the Ocean Yacht Club
at Stapleton, Staten Island, where he
landed and was whirled away In an
automobile to the home of Lewis
Nixon, "Ben Braw," on the heights of
Tompkinsville, overlooking the harbor.
Here Mr. Bryan spent the night, the
evening being devoted to a serious con
ference with Intimate personal friends
and men of prominence in his party.
No especial political significance was
attached to the conference by those
who attended it and who declared its
purpose was merely to learn Mr.
Bryan"s wishes regarding the plans
which have been made for him during
the next few weeks and to acquaint
him with the drift of affairs at home.
Mr. Bryan was accompanied by his
wife and daughter. Miss Grace Bryan.
Mrs. Bryan went with him on the Illinl
and to Mr. Nixon's home. Miss Bryan
continued on tho steamer and spent the
night with frlids In the city. Colonel
Moses C. Wetmore of St. Louis, Mr? and
Mrs. M. F. Dunlap and Miss Dunlap of
Jacksonville, 111., who had been
traveling companions of the Bryans
during the latter part of their tour
of Europe, also arrived on the Prlnzess
Irene.
Will Talk Politics Tonight.
Mr. Bryan could not be drawn into
a discussion of political questions to
day. "What I have to say of politics at
this time and with my incomplete
knowdge of affairs at home will bo
said tomorrow night at the Madison
Square Garden reception under the
auspices of the Commercial Travelers
.Anti-trust League. Probably then you
will find that I shall discuss subjects I
have spoken of before," Mr. Bryan
added with twinkling eye.
It was said that tonight's conference
might have 3ome weight regarding the
features of tomorrow night's speech,
which will be in the nature of a re
sponse by Mr. Bryan to the Indorse
ments which recently have been ac
corded him by various state conven
tions as to the next Democratic Presi
dential candidate.
Told Jones About Candidacy.
Asked pointedly regarding the pro
bability of his candidacy, Mr. Bryan
said he had nothing to add to the letter
he wrate ex-Senator J. K. Jones of
Arkansas, in which he said he might
accept a third nomination under con
ditions' which he named.
At tonight's conference at the home
of Mr. Nixon were Mayor Tom L.
Johnson of Cleveland; National Com
mitteemen Campau of Michigan, Mack
of New York and Baughman of Mary
land; Mayor Brown, of Lincoln, Neb.;
William Hoge, president of the
Commercial Travelers Anti-trust
League, who discussed the plans for
tomorrow night's reception: Alexander
Troup of Connecticut, who explained
the details of the programme arranged
for Mr. Bryan's welcome to New Haven
on Friday; Robert Davis of Jersey City,
who explained the arrangement for
the Jersey City welcome next Saturday
evening; Harry W. Walker of the re
ception committee for New York;
Augustus Thomas and Edward F.
Ooltra. . All of these, together with
Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Goltra, were
guests of Mr. Nixon at dinner.
Mr. Bryan will spend tomorrow
morning opening a vast quantity of
mail, which was handed to him on
board the steamer today. He will
work with his secretary answering
such of the communications as are
urgent and will then board the Goltra
yacht once more to make bis formal
entry into New York at 4 P. M.
Smiles on Seeing Native Land.
Mr. Bryan, surrounded by his fellow-passengers,
stood well forward on
the promenade deck of the Prlnzess
Irene as the vessel steamed In past
Sandy Hook shortly after 2 o'clock
this afternoon. His face was wreathed
in smiles and he seemed more than
pleased at the thought of setting foot
on his native soil again. Far down
the lower bay the Illinl met the Prln
zess Irene and steamed with her to
the quarantine station. Mr. Bryan was
hailed by those on board the yacht
and waved his recognition of the
cheers and salutes that were given.
His steamer's anchor had not been cast J
in quarantine before the Nebraskan
was met by a delegation of newspaper
men.
' "I do not know what I can say worth
reporting," he said, in answer to the
queries. "Our travels have been dis
cussed in my letters and, as I make a
speech on Thursday night, I shall re
serve until that time any comments I
may have to make upon the political
rltuatlon.
"We have had a pleasant Journey,
with enough of storm to vary the
monotony, but not enough to Injure
any one. I am delighted to be back
again In my native land. From what
I have read in the papers and heard
from Americans In Europe, there has
been quite a revolution In opinion on
economic questions In the United
States and this is, of course, grati
fying.
Never Prophesies About Victory.
"On the Presidential question, I do
not care to add anything to the Inter
views which I gave in London and the
letter written by me to ex-Senator
Jons."
Asked regarding his opinion as to
the chances for a Democratic victory
two years hence, Mr. Bryan said:
"I have been. away, for some time
and I can add that I have been away
too long to come back a prophet. I
never predict, for predictions do not
tell the story. You have seen some
of the predictions given out in the
heat of a campaign and you even know
how different some estimates are from
what comes to pass. No, I will not
prophesy.
"I always assume that the chances
of Democratic success are Improving.
I believe that the people are coming
to recognize that the Democratic ideas
are the Ideas of the people. It Is not
easy to fix definitely when these ideas
will triumph, but I believe that there
is always a forward movement toward
that triumph."
Roosevelt Teacher of Democracy.
"Do you think that the Republican
administration has been such as to In
crease those chances?" was asked.
"I cannot discuss that question at
present, but I do think that the pres
ent administration has done much to
educate the people to make them see
the value of Democratic Ideas. To go
beyond that would be to discuss poll
tics, and that, - as I have said, I will
not do."
Mr. Bryan was asked whether he
was Interested In the coming campaign
In this state.
"Certainly I am Interested," was his
answer. "I am Interested in a sense
In every campaign. But I have made
It a practice to take no part In a cam
paign before the nomination is made.
I don't do that In my own state. In
the past 10 years I have taken no part
In ny state campaign before the
nominations are made, but after the
nominations are made I am willing to
do all I can for the cause."
Welcomed by Great Host.
The scene down the bay as the Prln
less Irene came to anchor In quaran
tine established a precedent as a cele
bration to the homecoming of a plain
American citizen. The news that the
steamer bringing Mr. Bryan had been
sighted off Fire Island Just before noon
and that she would be at anchor for
the formal medical Inspection by 3
o'clock was the signal for a wild rush
of specially chartered boats and pleas
ure craft down the harbor. The lower
ing skies and frequent rain squalls
served to keep many away, but those
who were not deterred by the ad
verse weather gave- an enthusiastic
spirit to the reception which was ap
parently deeply appreciated.
Nebraskans Bubble Over.
"Bryan's Nebraska home-folks" were
the most enthusiastic of all. On two
big tugboats, which Journeyed down
the bay side by side, they went to wel
come their distinguished neighbor.
With tumultuous cheers they pulled
up alongside the after gangway of tht,
big steamer and called their greetings
to Mr. Bryan, who stood on the deck
Just above them and smiled and waved
his hat. Big boxes of flowers were
tossed on board for Mrs. Bryan. Then
the Nebraska state flag was flung to
the breeze and the cheering was re
newed. Songs were sung and the
cheering was taken up time and again
while Mr. Bryan was going through
the necessary formalities of the customs
Inspection law. Two . Inspectors and

Chicago Labor Party Attacks
Independents.
SAYS HE SOUGHT CONTROL
Progressive Alliance Says After Vrg
ing Unions to Organize Sep
arately, He Tried to Ab
sorb It in League.
CHICAGO, . Aug. 29 (Special.) The
Progressive Alliance poured another vol
ley of grapeshot Into the Independence
Leauge tonight, when it sent out -hundreds
of copies of a circular letter , at
tacking the Hearst movement. A copy
of the document was mailed to every
candidate the league has under consid
eration. It conveyed the regrets of the
alliance that the candidates should, be
the "unconscious Instruments of a pur
pose to hamstring the movement toward
political Independence on the part of
organized labor and the agents of per
sonal despotism Inspired by pure selfish
ness masquerading as patriotism."
Hearst's Disowned Child.
The letter recites the history of the
alliance and the manner in which the
labor ticket was nominated, and charges
that the Hearst element has employed
"treachery" and "double-dealing" In
seeking to get the alliance under Its
thumb. In part, the document reads:
"The Progressive Alliance as the po
litical expression of the organized labor
of Chicago particularly, has grounds to
distrust the professions of friendship In
dulged by the sponsors of the Independ
ence League. For years in the past the
Hearst newspapers In Chicago have In-,
cessantly urged upon organized labor the
necessity for a movement such as is now
the programme of the Progressive Alli
ance, yet barely had this movement come
Into life when every possible effort was
made by the representatives of the
Hearst local Interests to secure its con
trol: every means, from flattery and
blandishment to bulldozing and black
mall was employed.
Lavish Offers for Support.
"These Interests have voluntarily of
fered to furnish campaign headquarters
and officer the name, to provide news
paper backing, to finance a campaign,
to elect any sort of a ticket which might
be named, on any kind of a platform
that could be drawn by the Progressive
Alliance, If only we would call this or
ganization a branch of the Hearst Inde
pendence League.' This was as clearly

TALK OF NEGOTIATIONS
VeteransfMay Ask Insurgent Leaders
to Compromise Cabanas Taken
by Guerrera and Santa
Clara In Danger.
HAVANA, Aug.' 29. The surrender to
day of some of the more vigorous insur
gent leaders In the Provinces of Matan
zas and Santa Clara, and the coming In
of a scattering few Insurgents In re
sponse to the government's proffer of am
nesty, is vastly more than offset by the
Insurgent sentiment looking stronger dally
In the- country districts of the Provinces
of Havana, Plnar'del Rio and Santa Clara,
which is now reported to be gaining head
way in Santiago, from which province,
however, there are as yet no reports of
organized bands. . , --
The testimony of persons arriving here
from the country is unanimous to the
effect that the people are restless and be
coming more and more excited.' The talk
of the towns Is of those who have gone
out to Join the insurgents and the chance
of winning against the government. There
are grave doubts of the loyalty of re
cruits, especially of negro recruits, who
are suspected In many quarters of a wil
lingness to Join the other side, with which
many of their people are Identified.
Talk of Peaceful Settlement.
The undeniable evidence of the growth
of insurrectionist sentiment Is causing In
creasing doubt as to whether the govern
ment will, after all, be able to cope
promptly and successfully with the move
ment, and there Is much discussion of the
possibilities of a peaceful settlement. In
terest centers in a projected meeting of
Cuban veterans and other prominent men
to consider the question of approaching
Pino Guerrera and other insurgent com
manders, as well as leaders of the Lib
eral party and members of the govern
ment, with a view to ascertaining wheth
er the difficulty cannot be settled through
some compromise.
Insurgents Take Cabanas.
Meanwhile, a rapid-fire artillery corps Is
being organized under American officers,
ammunition and guns are being unpacked
and the historic Castillo de la Punta,
fronting on the harbor entrance. Is tho
scene .of the greatest activity. The In
surrection in the Province of Ptnar del
Rip has spread across the mountains to
the north coast, and the town of Cabanas
REBELS KI NG
is now In the hands of the Insurgents, who
are reported also to have gone In tho di
rection of Bahia Honda. The Insurgents
took arms from a small detachment of
rural guards, and captured 50 horses which
the Governor had requisitioned. The gov
ernment telegraph lines are interrupted.
Pino Guerrera again is threatening the
railroad officials. The latter have be
gun the construction of an armored train
to precede the troops and other trains
in the threatened region.
No conflicts were reported today in
Havana Province, though small bands
are numerous. In Matanzas Province
there is no fighting and in Santa Clara
the insurgents evidently are avoiding an
encounter since their recent defeats.
May Take Santa Clara.
The Associated Press Is reliably. In
formed that General Aleman, Governor
of Santa Clara Province, has telegraphed
President Palma that unless reinforce
ments are sent Santa Clara City is likely
to fall into the hands of the Insurgents.
Adjutants at military headquarters say,
however, that the 500 rural guards and
volunteers at Santa Clara are regarded
as sufficient for the defense of the city.
Captain Noyes' company of rural
guards .today defeated a band of In
surgents near Esperanza, capturing the
leader, a German named Cortes, and
four others. Three of the Insurgents
were killed.
The government contemplates making
Puerto Cortez, on the south coast near
San Juan de Martinez, a central point
for sending men and supplies by water,
should communication by rail be Inter
rupted. The gunboat Morales is being
loaded with ammunition, which will be
sent to Cienfuegos.
Conspiracy Among Police.
An unconfirmed rumor was in circula
tion today that a conspiracy had been
discovered in which some of the police
were concerned. Numerous arrests are
being made here nightly. Many men are
leaving the city. v
The latest report regarding the fight
at Rodas, near Cienfuegos. August 26,
shows that Instead of 17 Insurgents hav
ing been killed only one was killed.
A dispatch received here tonight from
Guanea states that an Insurgent entered
the home of a Spaniard named Francisco
Acevedo and slashed Acevedo, his wife
and two children with his machete.
Some of me , wounded are In a critical
condition.
Pursuit of Guerrera Begins.
The actual pursuit of Pino Guerrera
began today when Colonel Avalos, com
mander of the Government forces In
Plnar del Rio, left San Juan de Mar
tinez In search of the main insurgent
body. The latter Is now estimated to
number 2000 men. If Guerrera's recent
statements can be considered trustwor
thy, there will be no battle if he can
help it.
Neither the tobacco nor sugar Interests
of the Island has suffered to any extent
as yet from the effects of the insurrec
tion. - - '
The Insurgents have removed the rails
from parts of the Cuban Central Rail
road in tho Southern part of Province
of Santa clara.

CHICAGO. Auff. 29. (Special.). i
Sensational developments came thick:
and fast today as the result of the raid
by the police last night of 14 down
town hotels. It is said enough scan
dals have been uncovered to. keep th
divorce courts busy for months. Pro
minent society and church people hav9
been exposed as the proprietors of
the.se ploces and It Is said a straight
line has been secured on the identity
of the persons who "collected a graft
fund of H0.D00 annually, presumably a
salve for tho outraged feelings of cer
tain police officials.
Hives for Floating Voters.
Information was also brought to
light showing that Just before elec
tions these hotels, or the majority of
them, are turned over to the Demo
cratic politicians, who pack them
with "floaters," all of whom vote early
and often and then are shipped to
New York, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Phil
adelphia or any other" city which needs
their votes to carry an election.
There was a motley scene In pollen
court . today when the defendants,
nearly five score of them, r were ar
raigned. Some were In silks and elab
orate evening dress, but the majority
were attaches of the hotels.
In order to avoid a tremendous so
cial cataclysm tho police raided tha
hotels before the hours for the theaters
to close;, otherwise many persons who
stand high in social life would have)
fallen into the trap.
Girl Furnishes Test Case.
In one of the hotels was taken!
Margaret Brooks, scarcely 17 years old,
who has sworn she lived there for
months. She Is the daughter of a pro
minent merchant In Michigan and her
case may be used as a test to send tha
proprietors to the penitentiary for har,
boring girls under age.
The girl made a pretty picture as shs)
stood, somewhat ruffled as a result ofi
a night Bpent In the "annex," befora
the bar of the dingy Police Court. Hen
eyes were large and brown and made ai
serious impression on the Police CourS
attendants. She stamped her foot antl
pouted as J. S. Hogan cross-examined
her. '
Margaret said that her father, Johnl
Henry Brooks, a merchant of Houghton,
Mich., died a year ago. Her motheit
died several years ago. With $300 in hett
pocketbook she had gone to Milwaukee
last August "to see the world." Whem
all her money but was spent, the)
girl . declared, she decided to move t
Chicago, which she did. taking apart
ments in company with Miss Rhla Clem
ens, of the Tay Templeton company,
"who is now traveling in England fofl
pleasure." I
Women of Blue BookInTolved.
Among the proprietors of the places;
are the names of some women whose
names appear in the Blue Book and
who are prominent in society and liberal
givers to church funds. The police an
nounce that there will be raids tonight,
but they are compiling a list of addl"
tional hotels which are questionable,
and all of them will be forced to give)
an account of their patrons in court,
In almost every part of Chicago, front
Evanston td Hyde Park, some repre
sentative citizen has been caught In the)
net of scandal that has developed frora
the spectacular raid.
Storm in I'nrk Board.
A special meeting of the Board of Lin
coin Park Commissioners Is called for
tomorrow to deal with Captain Bush.
head of the park police force, whose
wife was arrested as proprietor of the
Grand Eastern Hotel. The Commission-
era are considering demanding his resig
nation. Captain Rush declares he will
not resign and that both he and his wif
have boon unfairly treated. A row in
the board is imminent.
