Cuban President Doubts Abil

ATTACK ON HAVANA FEARED
Commander of Denver Acts at Pal
ma's Request, and Is Astonished
at Order of Kecall Rebel
Power Growing.
HAVANA, Sept. 13.-Six score sailors
from the United States protected cruiser
Denver are camped tonight in front of
the old La Fuerza Castle, facing . the
I'laza de Armas, the little park In front
of the presidential palace, which Is the
seat of the Cuban government. The Amer
ican flag is planted just inside the low
stone coping separating the castle grounds
from O'Reilly street, which thoroughfare
passes between the camp and the Plaza
de Armas. The sailors are armed with
regulation rifles, with the exception of a
few who carry revolvers or carbines. Two
field howitzers and two rapid-fire guns
point across the park.
. The Denver, which was originally an
chored farther up the bay, dropped down
this evening to a position abreast the
foot of O'Reilly street, In front of the
offices of the captain of the port, so as
to be conveniently near the detachment.
Pa I m a Advised Landing.
The sudden landing of the American
sailors followed a conference between
President Palma, Charge d'Affalres Sleep
er and Commander Colwell this after
noon. On the occasion of the Matter's
formal call upon Mr. Palma, Mr. Sleeper
asked the President directly whether he
considered the government able to pro
tect all American Interests in Havana.
The President replied that he hoped the
government would be able to do so, but
himself suggested It might be advisable,
as a measure of precaution in the in
terests of Americans, as well as for the
maintenance of order in general, to land
sailors at some convenient point, sug
gesting the Plaza de Armas. Mr. Sleeper
and Commander Colwell. after a brief
conference, decided that the landing
should be made, and this evening at 6:30
o'clock the detachment, under command
of Executive Officer Miller, began coming
ashore. Two hours later the commissary
outfit followed with supper for the officers
and men.
Will Suppress Rioting.
Questioned whether their duties on
shore would be protection of American
Interests or defense of the palace and
President Palma, Lieutenant-Commander
Miller replied that, if the city should be
attacked or if an uprising occurred In the
city, they proBably would have something
to do, regardless of the question as to
who attacked.
After reading an Associated Press dis
patch from "Washington, in which Secre
tary of the Navy Bonaparte was quoted
as saying that there would be no land
ing of United States marine In Cuba ex
cept In the event of extreme and unre
strained rioting. Commander Colwell said
to the Associated Press:
Palma Doubts His Power.
"I have landed a force after consulta
tion with those best advised as to the
situation and especially on the request
of President Palma himself, who In
formed Mr. Sleeper and myself that he
gravely doubted the ability of the Cuban
Government to protect American prop
erty and persons. President Palma did
not suggest the location for our force; I
selected It because in my Judgment it
Is the best strategical point and com
mands the two principal business streets
of Havana. I am not considering Inter
vention for the protection of the palace
or the President, but am simply being
in readiness to protect American inter
ests.. 1 have telegraphed these facts to
Secretary Bonaparte and also the fact
that I have offered asylum on the Den
ver for Americans who may desire to
eeek such safety."
Commander Colwell suggested tonight
that if quiet continued the sailors from
the Denver might return on board ship.
President Palma, however, urgently re
quested that they remain. The President
expressed satisfaction with the influence
their presence was producing, and said
he considered it a guaranteo against an
attack or an uprising In Havana.
Incendiary Fires Feared.
The general impression here seems to
be that it is the intention of the United
States not only to protect American In
terests but also the government of Presi
dent Palma. The presence in the city
of American sailors has had the effect
of creating a feeling of comparative se
curity against attack from without or
from internaf uprising.
Reports current here today were that
the worst elements were planning to set
fires, under the cover of which robberies
might be committed. It was also re
ported that insurgents in considerable
numbers were approaching Havana from
several directions.
The newspapers this evening commented
favorably upon the appearance of Ameri
can .warships in Cuban waters.
Commander Colwell late tonight was
shown an Associated Press dispatch from
Washington stating that the sailors from
the cruiser have been ordered to return.
He expressed great astonishment and
said he had received no such order and
added he believed that the Department
had not deciphered "his code message ex
plaining the situation. Commander
Colwell said he believed he had done
right and was satisfied that this even
ing's events would so prove. However, if
after reaching an understanding of the
situation, the Navy Department ordered
the return of the sailors, the order would
be carried out within half an hour.
Alfredo Zayas, president of the Liberal
party, who has offered to surrender if
granted a fair trial, sent Commander
Colwell word late tonight that he hoped
to visit him tomorrow.
REBEL ARMY GROWS DAILY
Capture Town and Combine for At-
tack on Havana City.
HAVANA. Sept. 13. There has been no
news today from the western portion of
Pinar del Rio province on account of
the Interruption of telegraphic communi
cation. Matanzas is reported still free
from insurgents. Santa Clara reports
more accessions to the insurgents' cause,
but there has been no fighting. Puerto
Principe reports that some small parties
have gone out to Join the Insurgents. In
Santiago there is considerable anti-gov
ernment feeling, but there are few per
sons actually in insurrection.
The main insurgent forces in Havana
province ore 1-eported as concentrated at
Bejucal. The town police have joined
them.
The insurgents have occupied Santiago
de Las Vegas, 18 miles from Havana,
'. end seized the City Hall and the. govern
ment agricultural experimental station.
The buildings and machinery on the
Hormlguero sugar estate near Cienfue
gos. have been destroyed.
Train service on the United Railways
out of Havana ceased tonight on account
of the danger of insurgent attacks. A
United Railway freight train was burned
today at RiDCon Junction, and It has
been deemed unsafe to dispatch more
trains A through train from Santiago,
which goes eastward over the Havana
main line, was not allowed to depart.
No train will depart eastward tomorrow
from Regala, across Havana Bay.
The Western Railway is similarly tied
up.
The special sessjpn of Congress will
convene- tomorrow. The Moderate cau
cus today decided to back President
Palma in all respects.
Race Hatred Crops Out.
One of the great curses1' that are slowly
but surely cropping out as a result of
the insurrection is that of race, the
Moderate in general condemning the in
surgents as a mob of negroes led by
white men of lower character than the
negroes themselves.
In Santa Clara province the Insurgent
programme of burning the properties of
foreigners began today with the destruc
tion of the buildings on two large plan
tations, tbe San Jose, owned by R. A.
Bell & Bros., American citizens, and the
Constancia, owned by New York capi
talists, represented by O. B. Stillman, It
is reported that a Spanish estate at
Andrietta was also burned.
All the smaller towns in Santa Clara
Province appear to be absolutely in the
control of the insurgents. Cienfuegos is
in a state of alarm. Both Santa Clara
and Cienfuegos are prepared to resist in
vasion, but the number of rebels before
these cities: is vastly superior to the gov
ernment forces.
Cargo of Arms Arrives.
The steamer Marie Herrera, with arms
and ammunition aboard for the government,-
arrived from New York without
incident. The government supplies of arms
and ammunition are fairly plentiful,' but
there is little doing in the way of enlist
ment. The Insurgents today set fire to the long
bridge of the Western Railroad at Cala
baxar, near Sagua La Grande, but it was
not sufficiently burned to prevent the pas
sage of trains. The rebels are. using loco
motives to pull down water tanks, etc.,
along the line.
Four hundred additional troops were
brought into Havana this morning from
Gulnez for the protection of the city and
to assist In attacks upon the rebels in
outlying towns.
According to- the best information to be
obtained, the rebel force of Pino Guerrera
Is moving to the eastward along the
southern edge of the Pinar del Rio Moun
tains, and other bands, which constantly
receive additions from the localities
through which they pass, are committing
depredations along the line of the rail
road. All Indications point to the concen
tration outside of Havana City of the
rebel forces in Pinar del Rio and Havana
Provinces. -
It was persistently rumored today that
the managers of the Insurrection are
seeking to foment a general strike in Ha
vana, and that an entrance to the city
will be attempted coincident with the out
break of internal disorders.
CLUBBED BY POLICE
PAIMA WANTS MARTIAL- LAW
Will Ask Funds and That Rebels Be
Declared Traitors.
HAVANA. Sept. 13. (Special.) The Cu
ban Congress, or as many members of it
as are out of Jail or not in, the -field aid
ing the revolutionists, will assemble In
this city tomorrow to consider waj-3 and
means for crushing the rebellion. Pres
ident Palma will present an elaborate
message, in which he will deny the
charges made against him by the revolu
tionists; will advocate placing the entire
island under martial law; recommend the
passage of financial legislation which will
give the "government funds sufficient to
crush the rebellion, and will ask that the
status of all the opponents of the govern
ment be defined so that they can be pun
ished for "treason."
Meanwhile, the revolutionists are grow
ing more and more bold and are pushing
out throughout the Island. A provisional
government is in process of organization
in the field and Alfredo Zayas, President
of the Senate, Is to be proclaimed its
head.
At Punta Real, on the north coast of
Camagua Province, there was a fresh up
rising today. . One hundred and twenty
insurgents now hold the town.
WILL SURRENDER TO COLWELL
Zayas and Castillo Show Faith in
American Justice.
HAVANA, Sept. 13. Late this evening
Commander Colwell, of the United States
ship Denver, was approached by an ac
credited emissary of Alfredo Zayas, pres
ident of the Liberal party, and General
Loynas del Castillo, commander of the
Insurgent forces in Havana Province,
with a signed offer from each to surren
der their commands and arms to Com
mander Colwell on condition that the
United States Government, through him,
guarantee them fair Judicial trials.
Commander Colwell, accompanied by
Charge d'Affalres Sleeper, immediately
carried the proposition to President
Palma. The President was immensely
pleased and asked Commander Colwell if
he would accept the surrenders. The lat
ter replied in the negative, but advised
the President to communicate with the
Washington Government, which was
done.
BRITISH SUBJECTS CAPTURED
Rebels Wreck Bridge and Engines
and Carry Off Engineers.
HAVANA, Sept 13. An Insurgent force
under Colonel Guzman, formerly Mayor
of Las Lajas, has destroyed the bridge
of the Cuban Central Railroad near Las
Lajas. It was not far from this bridge
that yesterday two locomotives and one
repair car were thrown by rebels into the
river. The locomotive driver and his as
sistant are British subjects. They both
were taken Into custody by the . rebels,
who also carried off two machinists.
It is persistently reported here that
Cienfuegos has been captured, but in
vestigation of the rumors proves them
to be untrue.
REBEL RAID ALONG RAILROAD
Capture Train, Burn Station and
Loot City Treasury.
- CIENFUEGOS. Sept. 12. After de
stroying the bridge on the line of the
Cuban Central near Las Lajas yesterr
day, the insurgents captured a train,
burned a railroad station and de
stroyed the telegraph Instruments.
They then went on to Cruces, where
they took the cash inthe municipal
treasury. Rebels are seizing Ameri
can property at Manicaragua, Santa
Clara Province.
Appeal to Red Cros9 for Aid.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13. Colonel
Aguirre, of the Cuban revolutionary
junta, yesterday addressed a letter to
Miss Margaret Astor Chanler. The let
ter recalls Miss Chanler's humane
work during the Cuban insurrection
against Spain and challenges her com
passion for wounded insurgents. It de
clares that the treatment of the in
surgent wounded by the Palma govern
ment soldiery is more -barbarous than
prevailed during the Weyler regime in
Cuba. The aid of tbe Red Cross So
ciety is Implored.
Evans Sailors Abused at Port
land, Maine.
GREAT BRUTALITY SHOWN
Admiral Indignantly Reports Facts
to Bonaparte, Who Will Ask Con
gress for Remedy Mayor
Denies Charges.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 Rear-Admiral
Evans has sent to the Secretary of the
Navy a report In which he vigorously
criticizes the treatment sailors of his fleet
received while at Portland, Me. He says
they were beaten by the police and re
fused admittance to places of amusement
because they wore their uniforms.
Secretary Bonaparte said today that he
would make recommendations to Con
gress for legislation to meet such con
ditions and also indicated that it would
not be the policy of the Department to
go out of its way to send vessels to
places where seamen are ill treated.
Mr. Bonaparte believes that a law can
be passed which will protect the men of
the Navy and Army against such treat
ment as is complained of.
The report of Admiral Evans, dated at
Bar Harbor, September 5, is in part as
follows:
During the recent vtait of the Iowa, Indiana
and the second torpedo flotilla to Portland,
Me., which visit was made at the BUBKestlon
of the residents of Maine, many of the men
from the Indiana were treated with irreat
brutality by the police and by a civilian in
tlA presence of the police, from which 1 may
Infer that he was -a policeman in plain clothes.
These men, who were without a doubt per
fectly sober and going in the direction of
the wharf at which the ship's boats landed,
were clubbed and kicked and knocked down
by the police. The civilian drew a revolver
and threatened them.
Nothing but commendation can be said of
these bluejackets for their moderation In sub
mitting; to these indignities without creating
trouble, for they outnumbered the police and
without a doubt they could have taken them
In charge.
I have to inform the department that, ex
cept when otherwise instructed by the de
partment, I shall not permit ships under my
command to visit Portland.
MAYOR DENIES ILL-TREATMENT
No Sailors Clubbed and Skating
Rink Opened to Them.
PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 13. Concerning
the report of Rear-Admiral Evans to the
Secretary of the Navy with reference to
alleged ill-treatment received by sailors.
Mayor Nathan Clifford said today that an
investigation of the matter at the time
indicated that the men had suffered no
injustice. Only one arrest was made, and
that was for intoxication and disturb
ance. Mr. Clifford said also that he made ar
rangements for the admission of marines
to a skating rink at a pleasure resort,
which was the only place refusing to let
them in, and that the police deny that
any sailors had been clubbed.
MAY CALL BOILED BEEF ROAST
But Wilson Requires Packers to De
scribe Method of Cooking.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Canned roast
beef will continue to bear the label
"roast beef," notwithstanding the fact
that it really is boiled beef. This was a
decision reached at a conference today
between Secretary Wilson and Senator
Hopkins of Illinois and Thomas E. Wil
son, General Manager of the Nelson .Mor
ris Packing Company, of Chicago. Sen
ator Hopkins and Mr. Wilson discussed
the matter yesterday at Oyster Bay with
President Roosevelt and were referred
by him to Secretary Wilson. Mr. Wil
son explained that the method of pre
paring canned roast beef was to parboil
the meat 15 minutes and then put it in
cans and subject it to steam heat for
three hours. The term "roast beef,"
which was applied to this product, was of
particular value to the packers, Mr. Wil
son said, because the method had been
copied by the Australian and South
American packers, who would profit by
it if the American packers were forced
to abandon it.
It was decided that the cans might
bear the label of roast beef, but that it
should be stated on the . labels how the
beef was prepared and cooked. Secretary
Wilson made it clear that only perfectly
healthy beef could be used in the prepa
ration of canned roast beef, although the
product is not of the highest grade of
cattle. No preservatives of any kind will
be used in the preparation of the product.
The decision was entirely satisfactory
to the packers.
DRIVEN OFF BY THE RUSSIANS
Japanese Raiders Had Cleaned Out
Rookeries on Asiatlo Coast.
VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. 13. Advices
from Hakodate, Japan, state that the
sealing raid on the Pribyloff Island, in
which five Japanese were killed and 12
captured, was an organized affair planned
by the two schooners involved, which
had during 1904 and 1905 been engaged in
raiding the Robben and Commander Is
land rookeries.
The patrolling of the Commander Is
land rookery this season by three Rus
sian warships had driven the Japanese
schooners to Bering Sea, and the raid
was organized for St. Paul Island, and
that Americans were not Involved as
stated.
During 1904 the Robben Bank rookery
was cleaned out. 6000 seals being killed
when the guards were withdrawn be
cause of the war, and 1500 were killed in
1905.
SHOULD RESTORE CANTEEN
Corbln Wants More Perquisites for
Officers and Half-Fare for Men.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. General H.
C. Corbin, commander-in-chief of the
Northern Division, in a report to the
military secretary, made publlo today,
contributes his disapproval of the legis
lative prohibition of the sale of beer and
light wines in the post exchanges. He
also calls attention to the fact that the
enlisted men enjoy the right to deposit
their savings with the Army Paymaster,
and that Congress annually appropriates
money to pay interest on these. The
courtesy has not been extended to Offi
cers, but General Corbln says the dis
crimination should be terminated, espe
cially where it affects officers serving in
the Philippines and Alaska. He also
recommends "a proper allowance of fuel
for heating and cooking purposes, and
that gas and electric light, when fur
nished a post, should be provided for the
officers' quarters the same as the bar
racks." Hp recommends the retention of the
grade of Lieutenant-General and the be
stowal of this grade upon all corps com
manders. , Enlistment In the) Army should not be

encouraged in time of peace, according to
General Corbin, except in special cases.
His argument is to add to "our military
strength by training a number of men by
three years' enlistment, and then having
them return to civil life, ready at any
time of their active manhood for service
in war."
He also recommends that article 38 of
the articles of war be revised to provide
that any officer found drunk shall be
dismissed from the service. The article
now provides that dismissal shall follow
the finding of any officer drunk on duty.
The present system of athletic exer
cises, he declares, promotes champion
ship feats by a' few, but does not aid the
organization as a whole. He says it
would beTnuch better if, by general, sys
tematic training, the whole organization
could double-time for a mile and arrive
able to put up a fight.
The anti-pass provision of the railroad
rate law is also criticised- by General
Corbln. He says that it has worked a
hardship upon many officers and enlisted
men by doing away with the privilege of
half rates for their families and half
rates to themselves when on leave of
absence.
MIGHT AID RAILROAD SCOOP
Anonymous Writer Impugns Motives
Of Commerce Commission.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Unusual in
terest attached to the hearing by the
Interstate Commerce Commission today
on the requirement of the new railway
rate law of 30 days' notice of changes
in freight rates. Aside from the fact
that the testimony and discussions
brought out charges ana counter-charges
of endeavors to restrict competition by
the lines east of the Mississippi and
those west of the river, there was In
jected into the proceedings something of
a sensation when Chairman Knapp read
a letter from a man who, he said, is
president of a Western railroad, insinuat
ing in connection with the question of
waiver of Mhe 30 days' notice that the
commission .might "wink" at certain
practices of the cotton exporters, while
certain railroads might "scoop" their
competitors by inaugurating "instantane
ous midnight tariffs."
Edward Baxter, of Nashville, Tenn.,
counsel for a number of Southern rail
ways, assailed the writer of the letter
and charged that it was an insult to the
commission ancl those who were seeking
the waiver of the 30-day provision of the
law.
COMMERCE WITH PORTO RICO
Exports Multiply Nine Times, Im
ports Eight Times Since 1898.
WASHINGTON,. Sept. 13. In a state
ment given out by the Department of
Commerce and Labor concerning the
growth of Porto Rlcan commerce, it is
stated:
"The value of merchandise sent from
the United States to Porto Rico during
the five years prior to 1898 averaged about
$2,000,000 per annum and In 1906 was $19,
000,000, or practically nine times as great.
The merchandise sent from Porto Rico to
the United States in the five years prior
to 1898 averaged about J2.500.000 per an
aum and in 1906 was $19,000,000, or about
eight times as great.
"Exports from Porto Rico in the fiscal
year Just ended were practically twice as
great In value as in any year under
Spanish rule and about 25 per cent
greater than in any previous year under
American rule, occurring chiefly in sugar
and tobacco manufactures."

WILL FIGHT SULLIVAN.
(Continued From Pare 1.)
Cincinnati ball park; W. J. Bryan tonight
addressed an immense audieriVe which oc
cupied all the seats in the grandstand
and several thousand additional chairs.
He arrived from Louisville at noon and
spent the afternoon receiving callers. He
was given an enthusiastic reception. He
said :
The pemocratlc idea is larger than this Re
public. There is no nation which 1 have vis
ited in which there . are not the seeds of
Democracy and In them all Democracy is
growing. The man who puts the country
above self is .the reformer. Z have found
everywhere men striving to briny government
suaiv the will of the people. It Is not strange
that reformers sometimes are discouraged.
Some are in our party, 6ome are Republicans,
but all unite for better things. Your Demo
cratic Mayor was elected with the help of
Republican votes. He appealed not to the
boss, but to the people, and their conscience
responded in his election.
He maintained that more people in
every community did not steal because of
their consciences than for fear of the
law. Conditions are growing better, and
an appeal to the conscience of the peo
ple will bring a response. He thought it
safe to say that Philadelphia had been
the wickedest city in the country. When
he heard that some preachers were going
to pray for Philadelphia's Mayor, he
thought they were praying for the wrong
man, as they should pray for the citizens
who chose the Mayor. However, the sen
timent aroused by them aroused the
Mayor, who called a wlched city council
to account.
"I am feeling so good over this recep
tion that I am going' to tell that Cin
cinnati was second to Philadelphia in
wickedness," he declared. "The boss and
his henchman, the franchise-grabber, the
selling of votes, subsidized newspapers,
councilmen embezzling public authority
these good people seemed in despair. Yet
you did elect an honest Mayor."
Mr. Bryan then expressed the fear that
the people would go to sleep, thinking
they needed to do no more. "Special in
terests never sleep, while the people are
often hard to waken. If the peole did
not sleep at night, there would be no
burglaries and If citizens did not sleep
there would be no dishonest Govern
ment." He appealed for the citizens to hold up
the hands of the man elected to enforce
the law. "Tell him you enlisted for the
war," he said.
In this state the same conditions pre
vailed. Bossism still prevails. "I want to
thank Mr. Burton for what he has done,"
said the speaker, who told of meeting the
Cleveland Congressman at the peace con
ference in London, saying that Mr. Bur
ton's "earnest plea there had more effect
on the people who had to have his words
translated than they had on the Republi
cans at Dayton." He continued:
For ten years the Republican party has
been in undisputed control of the National
Government and yet after ten years of abun
dant opportunity we find that the people are
not satisfied. Ten years ago they had many
men who were believed to be sure of election
to the Presidency if nominated, but now, after
ten years, their papers believe that in the Re
publican party there is only one man who has
any chance of election.
Tou cannot lay It on to the Almighty. Good
crops took away the usual excuse, and It
must be in the party. '
The hopes of the Republican party hang on
one man, because that man has been carry
ing out a Democratic platform. Did you ever
before know of a party having to hang its
hopes on its leaders' desertion of the party
to the ideas of their opponents?
Mrs. Bryan and Miss Grace Bryan ar
rived from Lincoln, Neb., this evening.
With Mr. Bryan they will leave at 7
o'clock tomorrow morning over the Nor
folk & Western Railroad for Bradfod,
Va.. where Miss Bryan will enter a seminary.
