AFT IS WINNING
CUBANS' HEARTS
Has Come, to Uplift
Fallen Republic.
SPEECH AT HAVANA UNIVERSITY
Refuses to Evict Poor to Make
Room for Troops.
AMNESTY FOR PRISONERS
Proclamation Will Be Issued Today.

most Fnnotioed Kebels
Laying Down Arms.
HAVANA, Oct. 1. Governor Taffs acts
today have gone far to win him a warm
place in the hearts of the people whose
destinies have been placed in his hands.
Presiding this morning at the opening ex
ercises of the University of Havana, he
declared his mission here was solely for
the purpose of uplifting the fallen Re
public and restoring It to the path of pros
perity, an announcement which was re
celved with demonstrations of delight by
an audience representative of the highest
society in Havana.
Following this It became known that
Mr. Taft and Assistant Secretary of State
Bacon had cabled for their wives to join
them here, a step which cannot but be
most agreeable to the Cuban people and
which will strongly cement the bonds of
affection between them and the Amer
ican provisional administration.
Refuses to Evict the Poor.
Still another act of Mr. Taft is warmly
commended as Illustrative of his thought,
ful consideration of the humbler classes,
Learning that many poor families occupy.
int.- the temporarily disused barracks at
Ca-np Columbia were aOout to be sum
marily evicted by order of the Cuban
authorities in preparation for the occupa
tion of the quarters by the brigade of
marines, he directed that these people re
main undisturbed in their homes for a
period of fifteen days. In the meanwhile
a portion of the marines will remain un
der canvas. The order for the eviction
had been issued in the name of the pro
visional government. Upon hearing of the
plight of the present tenants of the bar
racks, "Mr. Taft went to Camp Columbia
in an automobile, explained that he had
not been aware of the conditions and
rescinded the order. He left the camp
amid cheers and warm expressions of
gratitude from the people. The news of
this act of humanity spread rapidly and
received the highest praise.
Xo Excitement When Marines Land.
These evidences of American good will
have earned such general favorable com
ment that the landing of the battalion of
marines which will constitute the garrison
here causes hardly a ripple of excite
ment.
The battalion, consisting of 750 men,
commanded by Major Wendell C. Neville,
was landed at 6 o-clock this morning from
the United States warships Kentucky. In
diana and Minneapolis, and proceeded by
trolley to Camp Columbia. There was
no demonstration.
AH the marines were landed within two
hours. Tent supplies and general equip
ment were brought, along in the boats
with each detachment so that each boat
load of men had with it a full equipment
for a long stay ashore. Several field guns
were alro landed. All the landings were
made at the new wharf of the Havana
Central Electric Railway. Thirty street
cars and several cars of supplies were run
directly out on the long pier, and the
ships' boats, laden with marines, were
towed to the shore In strings of three and
four by the launches.
Proclaim Amnesty Today.
Much of the Governor's time today was
occupied in receiving officials of the var
ious departments and judges of the courts.
With the members of the Supreme Court
he held a long conference concerning the
drafting of a proclamation of general
amnesty. This decree is of the most im
portance, in view of the fact that at many
points on the island, notably Cienfuegos,
many persons are in Jail awaiting the
disposition -of political charges.
The Governor today appointed Major
Eugene F. Ladd and Alexander Gonzales
a committee to audit, the accounts of the
treasury.
Joseph J Monteaguedo and Carlos Her
nandez, members of the disarmament
committee,, left here tonight to receive
arms from rebels at Santa Clara, Sagua.
LaGrande, Esperanza. Cruces. Cienfuegos
and other points in the center of the
islands. The laying down of arms by
the rebels in the vicinity of Havana will
begin tomorrow, when the men will be
entrained for their home.
The battleship Kentucky left Havana at
1 o'clock this afternoon for Matanzas.
having on board Governor Luecona, of
Matanzas. Matanzas Province Is quiet and
the sailing of the Kentucky is due to the
crowded condition of the harbor here, the
American authorities desiring to give
commercial vessels their full anchorage
facilities.
The departure of Senor Palma from
Havana has been postponed until to
morrow. Governor Taft offered Mr. Pal
ma a warship to convey him to Matanzas
or elsewhere, but the ex-President cour
teously declined to travel in that
manner.
TAFT'S ADVICE TO CUBAN'S
Tells Them America Comes to Help
and Points Out Faults.
HAVANA. Oct. 1. The flower of Ha
vana, society was present at the open
ing of Havana University. After the
annual address Governor Taft presented
the diplomas to the successful students
and then made a notable address, the
spirit of which, was that the interven
tion of the United States was under
taken solely to assist Cuba and Cubans
and that her future was dependent
upon her young men.
Mr. Taft spoke in English, pausing at
every sentence for its Interpretation by
Judge Scoonrench, amid applause and
college yells. He said:
I count It a peculiar honor. In my tem
porary representation as executive officer of
Cuba, to participate in the exercises of
this great university. This is especially in
teresting to me because when exercising the
executive function in the Philippines I took
part in a similar ceremony in a university
founded by the 6ame order, but more than a
century before this university was founded.
Spain's Gift to the World.
Those of us who have come close to Span
ish civilians have been impressed with the
consciousness that the Anglo-Saxons have
much to learn from the intellectual refine
ment, artistic temperament, poetic imagina
tion, high ideals and courtesy of the Latin
Spanish races. Spain has exerted a tremen
dous force in- civilization and progress, but
nations, like men. suffer reaction. The. civ
ilization of Spain and all her Institutions
were founded on the idea of the control of
the state by one man or a few men. Tnac
idea has ceased to have force. The Anglo
Saxons have brought to the front the idea
that a people, who are sufficiently educated
to know what their rights were could more
safely be trusted to determine how these in
terests should be preserved than one man or
a few men and. because in the development
of that idea we have the advantage of 200
years' education in self-government, we un
reasonably plume ourselves with superiority
in the knowledge of government which only
circumstances have given us.
It has recently fallen to the lot of the
people of the United States, who have
struggled along the road to popular govern
ment and fallen down and picked them
selves up again, to aid some countries which
have not had that experience in coming to
the enjoyment of the benefits of popular
government. The Republic of Cuba has
progressed so rapidly In the last four year6
as almost to Intoxicate the believers in popu
lar government. It was like the growth of
a tropical plant, which needed cutting in
order that the stalk might gain strength. It
is perhaps necessary that the Cubans should
be warned that the foundations of self-government
must be broad, and solid rather
than high and conspicuous.
America to Help Cuba.
It Is saddening to me to be called to
Cuba, and still sadder to the President, who
is so identified with her liberation, that we
are here at the time of a stumble in Cuba's
progress toward popular government, but it
has given us an opportunity to assure you in
tae name of the President and the American
people that we are here only to help you.
With our arm under your arm. we are lift
ing you again on the path of that wonder
ful progress you have traveled. We shall, I
am confident, be able to point with pride to
the fact that the United States is not an
exploiting nation, but that she has such
deep sympathy with the progress of popular
government as to be willing to expend her
blood and treasure in making the spread of
such government in the world successful.
lour difficulty was that you were brought
up under tne lMh and lBth century Ideas
of government and were taught to look to
others for the responsibility of government.
You exercised only the function of Criticism,
and most of your people, -especially the edu
actedand wealthy classes, trained them
selves not only to indifference but to inac
tivity in the field of political and govern
mental matters. I find that law is com
mitted to one class of people, medicine to
anotner. commerce to a third ana political
matters to a fourth, and that the first classes
lean back through influence of past associa
tion and watch with intense interest, but I
fear not with much influence, what is being
done bv their government. I venture the
suggestion that, if the other classes do nOL
take a more active part and Insist upon ex
ercising tneir innuence in politics, the ques
tion naturally arises: What was tne neces
sity of changing your form of government
at an .'
Sharp Division of Classes.
The theory of noDular government is that
every class shall exercise a direct political
innuence. but It seems to me that your
meals nave been too high. An ideal so
nign tnat it is beyond tne reacn or realiza
tion is not verv useful. Soarlnz too hieh is
dangerous and the higher you get the more
aisastrous tne.iau.
The hope of this country Is In Its educated
youth. While I do not want to Jar or
make uncomfortable those youths who are
entering active life, I must speak the truth.
There are one or two traditions still persist
ing in this civilization. The first of them is
that the learned professions are the only
pursuits worthy of the graduates of this
university. This is a great mistake. Uni
versity education is not an obstacle tosuc
cess ia commercial life. I am afraid that
young Cubans are not sufficiently infused
with that mercantile spirit of which we
havte too much in the United States.
what you . need is the desire to make
money, to found great Institutions and carry
on the country s prosperity, and young Cu
bans, or rather most of them, ought to be
gin in business. There would be no trouble
in forcing yourself ahead In the next gen
eral election, so that, the banks, commer
cial houses and shipping interests of Cuba
would be in Cuban hands Instead of in the
hands of foreigners.
i ou must have foreign caoltal. and the
debt of gratitude this country owes that
great man, Estrada Palma. is that he real-
zes more than other Cubans the necessity
of bringing in capital and convincing the
worm of the conservative character of your
government in order that foreign capitalists
might depend upon its security. But the
right of property and the motive of accumu
lation is tne basis of an modern success
and civilization and unless you have a
community of political Influence and control
which is affected bv the conservative influ
ence of property ownership, successful popu
lar government is impossible.
Should Go Into Business.
Therefore I liree fhe. rerlnlpnt of tlipM
diplomas, if they have Cuban estates, to de
vote themselves to the betterment of these
estates and that others enter commercial
pursuits, so that, when 25 years hence a
sympathetic stranger comes here, he may
not and a political class, a commercial
class and the sciences and professions all di
vided: so that you do not lack the benefit of
a mixture of all to form that combination
witnout wnicn a successful republic Is abso
lutely Impossible.
Nobody ever achieved a hieh ideal without
failing two or three times, and failures must
be made vehicles to success. Each failure
ought to teach avoidance of that particular
danger. When everything goes smoothly
and you seem on the high road to success,
then is the most dangerous time. Humbled
by the lessons of disappointment, you are in
piuper e-piriL lo win success.
Vivas-the Republic of Cuba.
Mr. Taft's allusion to ex-President
Palma wag received with more applause
than any other statement, and when he
closed with "Viva la Republic of Cuba,"
the cheering continued" uproariously for
five minutes. At the conclusion of the
Governor's speech scores of prominent
men and women crowded about him,
demonstrating their swm.pa.thy with his
work and anxious to shake his hand.

SANTIAGO. Cuba, Oct. 1. The arrival
here this afternoon of the American
cruiser Des Moines relieved a serious
situation. Fully 4000 armed revolu-

Remittance Man From Kansas City
Known as a "High Roller," Dis

of the Forest Grove Bank.
HILLSBORO, Or., Oct. 1. The mystery
of the disappearance of Carey Snyder,
crack shot, all-around sportsman, bon
vivant and hail-fellow-well-met, and who
lived 12 miles north of this cfty on a
little mountain ranch, has been cleared
by the finding of his skeleton, ten miles
east of this city this morning, by Harry
Hanson, a young man who was out hunt
ing. Toung Hanson was after a grouse
and it flew into the brush on the farm of
John Lehman, about a mile west of Cedar
Mill.
Hanson followed the bird a few hun
dred feet into the jungle and came upon
the remains of a dead man who has been
positively identified as the missing Carey
Snyder, who left a young wife in the hille
north of Glencoe. Mrs. Snyder has for
months strenuously denied any knowledge
of her husband's whereabouts. After the
finding of the body young Hanson notified
the authorities and Acting Coroner H. T.
Bagley went to the scene of the find.
Hole Through His Skull.
Snyder's remains lay near a big log.
His gun lay on top of a log which laid
above his foot, and through his skull was
a bullet hole, the missile having entered
below his right ear and plowed through
his head, coming out above the left ear.
Sheriff Connell wa called,, and identified
the clothing and in the pockets of the
dead man was found a letter from his
father, R. M. Snyder, the Kansas City
capitalist, telling of a remittance of J41
and advising the son that he could have
more when he wanted it. In the pockets
were also found a revolver and some
pawn tickets. The teeth of the skull,
crowned with gold, gave another means
of positive identification, had any been
needed.
The finding of the Jury left the ques
tion open as to whether Snyder had
committed suicide or had been mur
THAT
dered. The finding of the body, how
ever, clearup a mystery, for the of
ficers firmly believe that the body Is
that of Snyder.
, Forest Grove Robbery Recalled.
The- strange find brings to promi
nence the, robbery of the Forest Grove
Bank, which took place on the night
of December 2, 1905, when that insti
tution was robbed of over $6000 in
gold and currency. Suspicion at once
rested upon Carey Snyder, although
his wife positively affirms that Sny
der was home on the eventful night
Search was made by Sheriff Connell,
the Pinkerton detective force and the
Portland Police Department, but to
no avartl. Simultaneously with, the
robbery, Carey Snyder . disappeared.
t
Representative Herbert Parsons.
Representative Herbert Parsons Is
the leader among the young leaders of
the Republican party in New Tork
who are forcing the bosses Into the
background. His first great victory
was his election as chairman of the
New Tork County. Committee against
the opposition of Boss Odell. His sec
ond and litest victory was In forcing
the Republican State Convention to
nominate Charles E. Hughes for Gov
ernor. . The 'old-time bosses were
afraid of such a vigorous, able, up
right and Independent man as Hughes
and Parsons had to strive with them
all night, but he forced them to sur
render. He wae recognized as President
Roosevelt's- candidate for county chair
man and his fight for Hughes' nomi
nation had the hearty support of the
President, who had picked Hughes as
the strongest man.
and along with him disappeared a
cousin by the name of Perry, who had
followed young Snyder West from
Kansas, City and who, subsequent to
the robbery, returned there.
The robbers used tools, from the
Cornelius blacksmith shop and section-house,
and -a few months after-
wardthe tools and a gun were found
buried a few hundred yards west of
the Hillsboro Southern Pacific Station.
Snyder had disappeared from the face
of the earth, and no trace of him
could be found.

LOST TRACK OF FOR YEARS
Miss Violet Gilbert Is Coming
to Portland.
FATHER MARRIED HERE
John Gilbert, Daring Yonng Sea
. Captain, Died in Xew Zealand
and the Child Was Treated
as Menial for Years.
9AN" FRANCISCO. Cal.. Oct. 1. (Spe
cial.) An unfortunate orphan In a foreign
land since 7 years old; enslaved for almost
a decade with an aged couple In New
Zealand, who worked her at menial serv
ice and refused her any education, and
lost track of for years by her American
relatives, little MIes Violet 3. Gilbert.
whose Summers number no more than 16,
is now in San Francisco on the way to
Portland, Or., to come into a fortune ag
gregating almost $100,000.
Accompanied by her uncle, J. B. Davi
son, a business man of Portland. Miss
Violet arrived on the steamship Sonoma
today from Auckland. Not yet is she
aware that she is an heiress.
9o sudden has been the change of her
station in life, and so impossible to her
seem the wonderful things that have been
happening to her diiring the last few
weeks, that she la permitd to learn of
her good fortune a little at a time. It all
seems a fairy dream to her.
Six Weeks Ago a Drudge.
Six weeks ago she was a drudge In a
poverty-stricken home; now she believes
that her only mission hitherward to mar
velous America has been arranged by her
uncle for the purpose of giving her an
education in private schools. Timid be
cause of the galling servitude that all the
years of her young life have quite sapped
away her independence: retiring because
she already sees that she has not had the
advantages of ordinary girls of her age.
shy because it is all so strange for her
to comprehend, she was withal a merry
youngster on the Sonoma and made many
friends of the Sonoma passengers.
The finding of Violet in New Zealand
is- a story of remarkable features. Her
father. John Gilbert, wa3 a daring young
sea captain, who immediately after his
marriage in Oregon went to Australia.
There little Violet was born, whereupon
AGAIN
her mother immediately died. Most of
her mother's relatives have long lived
in Oregon, although at the present time
an aunt resides in Woodland Cal.
After his wife's death John Gilbert
seldom communicated with her relatives
in America. When Violet was T year?
old her father suddenly died, leaving her
penniless. Where lived her American
relatives no one knew. Her father's un
communicative nature had kept such In.
formation within itself.
Then it was that the little girl fell Into
the hands of the aged couple that after
wards treated her so harshly.
Less than two years ago Mrs. Davison
accidentally learned that her brother-in-
law had died, whereupon she immediate
ly undertook to find her niece if possibl
if Indeed she were alive. No end of
corresponding finally located the unfor
tunate girl in New Zealand.
Aunt Bequeaths a Fortune.
Meantime the death of another aun
meant a large sum of money for the
girl, and about two months ago Mr. and
Mrs. Davison set out from Portland for
the Orient to bring home their orphaned
niece, who is thus suddenly taken from
poverty Into riches.
The Davisons will spend a few days
in voodland before starting for Port-
land.
The Portland directory shows that Mr.
and Mrs. J. B. Davison, conduct a mil
linery store at 133 Fifth street. Their
residence number Is given at 263 Holla-
day avenue.
GRAPES COOKED ON VINE
Wine Crop in Southern California
Ruined by Heat.
)
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 1 According to
the statements from authoritative sources
today the expectations of vineyardists
that the present season would realize the
largest wine grape crop in the history
of southern California have been shat
tered by the wave of almost unprecedent
ed heat, which struck this section of the
state Saturday night and has continued
with but moderate abatement until this
evening.
Thousands of tons of choice grapes,
say the growers, have been seared within
the past two days and will be fit for
nothing but brandy making or raisins.
These fruits were in the picking, but
when the hot wave struck without warn
ing. hundreds of pickers quit the fields
and refused at any price to return to
work while the heat lasted.
As high a temperature in the streets
as 113 degrees in the shade was reached
Sunday and today the mercury quivered
around the 1X point. Tonight it is ap
preciably cooler and there are indications
that the torrid spell is broken.

DALLAS. Tex., Ort. 1. (Special.).
The fight between United States Sena
tor Bailey and his enemies grows la
Intensity. The confidence shown by
his neighbors In the mass meeting held
yesterday at his home town of Gaines
ville does not seem to have lessened
the bitter feeling existing between his
supporters and the opposition. The
joint discussion to take rlace at Hous
ton next Saturday between Mr. Bailey,
and former Attorney-General M. M.
Crane, of Dallas, is eagerly awaited.
Crane, in accepting the request of
the Good Government Club of Houston:
to become its representative in the de
bate with Bailey, made use of this ex
pression: "The relations existing between
Senator Bailey and' myself are not
pleasant."
Because of Bailey's antipathy to
the Good Government Club, the de
bate will be under the auspices of the
citizens of Houston.
Hard Questions to Answer.
Bailey has an engagement to address
a meeting at Greenville tomorrow. It
Is reported here that he will be con
fronted with an open letter, written,
by F. M. Estberldge, of Dallas, who
has been outspoken in his opposition
to Bailey. The leter asks these ques
tions: "1. Are you now, or have you been
at any time since May 31, 1905, a
stockholder in the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company. I am prompted to ask you
this question because I am informed
from a source I deem creditable that a
check drawn by the Waters-Pierce
Company to your order for the sum ot
J12.50.). bearing the notation that It
was for the semi-annual dividend on
certain numbered shares of stock In
that company, passed through a Texas
bank in process of collection.
May Have to Violate Rate Law.
"2. I would be glad of the benefid
of your opinion as to whether, hadl
you been a Senator, you would havq
been employed by Pierce and others,
and whether, should you be defeated,
sucil employment will cease or con
tinue. "3. The $3,000,000 of property whlcH
you admit has been entrusted to yout!
control by Pierce and associates, con
sists of a railroad and a coal xnine(
ownership of both being common. Ia
it not true that, If this railroad after
May 1, 1908, should make an lnterstata
shipment of coal from this mine, sama
would violate the penal provisions ofi
the Act of Congress as amended June
29, 1906, and commonly known as th
rate bill?' "
Another County Rejects Bailey.' (
A mass meeting at Quitman, tha
county seat of Wood County, yester
day passed a series of resolutions
declaring it sdeaire not to have Bailey
represent Texas in the United States
Senate, If the allegations made In tha
sworn statement of N. Clay Pierce,
his own admission and the publia
statement of J. H. Kirby, are true.
After passing the resolutions, tha
meeting adopted another, requesting;
Bailey and Crane to have a joint de
beat at Quitman on October IS.
The question of instructing; tha
Wood County Representative in tho
Legislature to vote against Balley"3
re-election next January was not
acted upon, but was postponed until
November 20, when another mass
meeting is to be held at Quitman.
