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

Marshal Krechter had rushed out of the
liquor-room. Lambert Identified Bustnn

fessed that he had shown Bustrin where

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.

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.

relief committee estimates the minimum
fund necessary to tide the 33 governments
over the next six months at f75.OOO.O0O.
The Zemstvo organizations do not con

exercised for ths peasants' own good.
The soldiers at Warsaw, enraged at the
continuous murders by the Terrorists, are
acting with great brutality. Governor
General Skallon is taking energetic steps
to prevent an attack on the Jews, who
are in a state of panic.
At Kamlshin, the bodies of ten victims

charged with assault, is Mysterious
Bill Smith. Portland's sallor-boardlng-house
pugilist. He took a punch at
Claud Settlemler and almost discon

While the mysterious one was at
Lone Oak he got away with the slug

he decided to clean up Salem. Three
of the Capital's finest heard of Billy's
intention and upset the dope. They

Commercial street and took a reef in
his malsall.
Billy objected, but the big exhibi
tion did not take place until the jail
