Jealous Woman Put Detec
tives on His Trail.
WASHINGTON. Oct. li Rev. James R.
Slayton. Jr.. presented himself to the
Assistant Secretary of the Navy today
and asked that he be arrested lor desert
ing the Navy five years ago. Slayton
said that his conversion to religion and
service as a minister of the gospel caused
him to see the wrong he had done in
leaving the service, and he requested that
he be tried for the crime. Mr. Newberry
referred Slayton to the Navy-yard offi
cers. At the Navy-yard the Commandant told
Slayton he could not be held because of
the statute of limitation. Slayton left
the Navy-yard with Brigadier Little, of
the Salvation Army, and together they
conducted a meeting on the street to
night, when Slayton told the crowd of his
misfortunes.

the officer and came to Washington to
surrender himself. He explained to the
officer at the Navy Department that he

at Meyersdale. It Is charged by Slayton
that a. woman in Cleveland, who is jeal
our of him and was angry because of his
recent marriage to another woman,
caused the detectives to pursue him.
MORAN SENDS ACCEPTANCE
But Insists Bryanlsm and HearsMsm
Stay Out of Contest.
BOSTON. Oct. 12 District Attorney
John B. Moran late tonight formally an
nounced his acceptance of the nomination
for Governor tendered him by the Demo
cratic state convention. For several days
there had been considerable doubt as to
whether Mr. Moran would remain In the
field.
He has not accepted the resolution in
dorsing William J. Bryan for the Pres
idency, which was adopted by the Dem
ocratic state convention. He says that
"Bryanism and Hearstism" must be elim
inated from the contest. Mr. Moran made
his announcement in a letter of accept
ance addressed to John P. Feeney, chair
man of the Democratic state convention,
and to the delegates to that body. In his
letter Mr. Moran says:
I am attached in no way to either Mr.
Mr. Bryan or Mr. Hearst. Mr. McFar
land and Mr. Williams know that I ve
toed the 8ur-estlon that Mr. Bryan speak
for me at. Boston. Mr. McFarland and
Mr. Eddy know that I vetoed the sugges
tion that Mr. Hearst tpeak for me in
Boston. This Is to be a state fight, not a

FIGHT ON CAR THIEVES
leeches Are to Be Made to Pay for
Rolling Stock Used.
CHICAGO. Oct. 12 An effort will be
made at the meeting of the American
Hallway Association.- which will begin In
Chicago October 24. to secure the adoption
of measures which will put railway
leeches out of business and will impose
such heavy penalties on ' car thieves" as
to make it profitable for them to quit their
evil ways. A "car thief Is a railroad
which gets possession of cars belonging
to other roads, runs them away and uses
them for its own purposes. A "railway
leech" is a road which persistently re
fuses to purchase as much equipment as
It needs and depends for handling its traf
fic upon securing enough cars from other
lines at a per diem rate which is un
profitable to the owners.
At present each road is charged 25 cents
per day for the first 30 days during which
It uses a freight car belonging to another
line. Experience has shown that this
per diem Is unprofitable for the road
owning the car and is insufficient to
hasten its return by a line which may be
making ti or $5 a day clear on It.
The roads which have been depending
upon others to provide them with equip
ment are expected to fight the proposed
change, but enough lines have signified
that they favor them to indicate they will
be adopted.
KNOCK AT DOOR OF UNION
Guatemalan Exiles Move for Annex
ation of Their Republic.
MEXICO CITY, Oct 12. Dissatisfied
with the conditions in their country.
Guatemalan political refugees have ap
plied to President Roosevelt to bring
about annexation of that country to
the United States. A proclamation has
been issued by the revolutionary junta
In New Orleans and copies of this docu
ment are being circulated in the City
of Mexico by the opponents of Presi
dent Cabrera. The proclamation Is as
follows:
"To the People: The Stars and
Stripes, the emblem of civilization, or
der and progress. Is at this moment
proudly waving over the land of Mar
ti. Maceo and Maximo Gomez. The Re
public of Cuba will in the very near fu
ture be annexed by the United States.
"President Roosevelt ought to do the
lame with Guatemala. Over 10,000
honest Guatemalans have had to aban
don their homes on account of revolu
tions which have almost daily started
to overthrow the famous tyrant. Es
trada Cabrera.
"We want Guatemala to belong to
the United .States of North America.
"New Orleans. Oct. 11. 190S."
Decrease in Exports to Orient.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-A marked
characteristic of the export trade of the
United States in the last few days is the
flecreased exports to China and Japan,
the amount of merchandise exported to
Thlna In the eight months ending August,
1&06. is but $22,000,000. against $42,000,000 in
the corresponding months of 1905, and to
Japan $21,000,000. against $39,009,000 in the
tame months of 1905, while to Asia as a
Whole the exports are but $58,000,000. as
against $95,000,000 in the corresponding
months of 190S.
The cause of this startling reduction in
China the report gives as two abnormal
conditions of demand, namely, the Russo
Japanese war practically closing the
northern ports of China to Importations,
resulting in unusually large orders im
mediately afterward, and the Chinese
Provincial Government's demand for
copper for coinage, the United States be
ing the largest producer of copper in the
world.

S VE RA
BACKED
CUBAN REBELLION
Revenge on Palma for Spoiling
Deal for Havana
Theater.
FLED TO AVOID DISCOVERY
Fugitive Banker's Money Went to
Buy Arms for Rebels Escaped
Arrest by Giving Falma's
Army Horses.
NEW YORK. Oct 13. Manuel Silvelra.
the Cuban banker, whose alleged embez
zlement of $1,000,000 belonging to J. M.
Ceballos & Co. caused that firm's failure,
financed the recent revolt in Cuba, ac
cording to Havana advices to the New
York Times. Part of the money, it is
stated, was spent in the purchase of
arms.
Silveira's activity in the revolution is
declared to have been due to a quarrel
with President Palma. They had been
together in some large cattle cteals, Sil
velra supplying stock for Palma'a estate
In Bayamo. While these deals were pro
ceeding, Silveira became interested in
the Tacon Theater deal, which involved
a sale to the government at $200,000 above
the purchase price. While this deal was
pending, Palma found that he had been
badly beaten in a cattle deal, and thereon
frustrated the theater transaction.
Silvelra at that moment became Palma's
enemy and began plotting revolution.
Then he employed Jose Miguel Gomez as
manager of his sugar estate. The Gov
ernment persecuted Gomez. sending
troops and artillery to coerce people near
the estate to refuse to deal with Gomez
or Silveira. The result was the dismissal
of Gomez, who went to New York. Then
Silveira began other negotiations and.
when the insurgent leaders took the field,
he supplied them with funds.
The Government learned of Silveira's
complicity and had prepared to arrest
him when he purchased freedom by the
ostensible gift of 500 horses and the be
trayal of Quentin Bandera. Interven
tion by the United States brought about
a situation where Silveira's treachery
to both sides was bound to appear, with
consequent danger to his life. He
thereupon apparently laid hands on
what cash was available and fled
SILVEIRA KEEPS TO OPES SEA
Has Land Xowhere in America How
He Made Stolen Money.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. William Nelson
Cromwell, of counsel for Ceballos & Co.,
the investment firm which made an as
signment on Wednesday last, with liabil
ities of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,00,
having been forced to the wall by the
defalcations of the firm's Havana agent,
Manuel Silveira. stated tonight that cable
advices received during the day indicated
that Silveira had not yet touched at any
port in the United States or South Amer
ica Mr. Cromwell said that up to this time
he had deemed it best to keep Silveira &.
Co. afloat, but that the policy regarding
the future of that firm would depend
upon examinations now under way by
agents in Havana, whose reports Mr.
Cromwell said he was awaiting.
Inquiry among the most important
houses connected with Cuban affairs
failed to discover any disposition to re
gard the failure as indicative of any gen
eral commercial or financial weakness in
the island. So far as the defalcation of
Silveira was concerned, it seems to be
agreed that the intervention by the United
States Government had upset some of his
ambitious plans in that direction. What
these plans were is not Known, but they
are supposed to be connected with the
success of the revolutionists.
The exact means employed by Silveira
in obtaining the money he is said to have
embezzled was explained yesterday by
William N. Cromwell. Ceballos &
Co. was one of several local concerns
which speculated heavily in the pay war
rants of the Cuban revolutionary soldiers.
These warrants, issued by a commission
in different parts of the island to the men
who had fought in the revolution were
freely discounted by their holders about
four years ago.
Ceballos &. Co. bought up about $2,000,000.
Of this amount $1,000,000 worth of the pa
per was sent to Silveira for collection,
while the balance was deposited with the
treasury department in Havana. The Cu
ban loan was finally arranged through
Speyer & Co.: nd payment on the war
rants was made.
It is understood that a number of bank
ing houses in New York have quite a
large amount of Ceballos paper, most of
it well secured by collateral.
According to Frederick Upham Adams,
the magazine writer who has been with
Silveira In Cuba, Silveira is a little bit of
a man not five feet tall and weighs less
than 90 pounds. His wife weighs over 200.
Silvelra lived well, but not above his
means. His offices were the finest in
Havana, and he was celebrated for the
originality and good taste of his enter
tainments. Ten years ago. according to
Adams, Silveira was a clerk in a Havana
bank. He became associated .with Cebal
los shortly after Cuba gained her inde
pendence. For the first time since the announce
ment of the failure, Juan M. Ceballos,
senior member of the firm of J. M. Cebal
los & Co., broke his silence regarding Sil
veira and the failure. Of Silveira, he
said:
"All he was in the world I made him. I
trusted him and he betrayed my confi
dence ".
Mr. Ceballos denied the stories circu
lated that his firm had bought warrants
for . claims in the last Cuban War for
from 5 to 10 cents on the dollar. He
said all that he had purchased from Sil
velra he had paid SO, 85 and 95 cents on
the dollar for.
Mr. Ceballos gave as his opinion that
Silveira was in Venezuela or on his way
to that country.
The first intimation of the trouble which
led to an investigation and the conse
quent assignment of J. M. Ceballos & Co.,
came through a letter which Silveira
wrote to his friends in the Cuban capital,
according to information given out here
today.
It is said that SilveiraS left the letter
with friends of his in Havana, saying
frankly that he did not intend to come
to New York. This letter was not
made public until October 7, five days
after Silveira and his family had sailed
from Havana on the steamer Carmell
na. It was two days later. .It is said,
when a cablegram containing the news
came from Havana to the offices of
Ceballos' attorney here, and another
day elapsed before the cablegram was
translated. In New York the news was
olosely guarded until after the Stock
Exchange had closed, and then the an
nouncement was made In a formal
statement.
CANADIAN BANK' GUTTED
Manager of Ontario Bank Loses 3Iil
lion in Speculation.
TORONTO. Ont. Oct. 12.-(Speclal.)-A
sensation was created here today by the
news that the Ontario Bank, of this city,

that Manager McGill has been speculat
ing heavily, involving the bank In a sum
not yet known, but believe'd to be from

Published from fourteen cities simultaneously
this morning. Each issue the same everywhere,
except the local sections, and brimful of the
week's happenings flashed by wire from all parts
of the country. The big events of the week
featured in national editorials.
t What Does Hearst Stand For?
r Mr. Edward W. Townsend, a member of our staff, antwers
this question in this issue. Mr. Townsend writes from an
acquaintanceship of twenty years, during some of which he was
one of Mr. Hearst's chief aides in launching his first newspaper
venture. The article will include an interesting word picture of
Mr. Hearst's personal characteristics.
Packingtown Four Months After
We have said that, above everything else, Ridgway's will be
fair. With this thought we sent Mr. Chris Healy to Chicago to
get the facts, following the recent exposure at Packingtown.
Mr. Healy got them and has written an interesting account for
this number. It will be wholly unbiased, because Mr. Healy
comes here fresh from England, without any prejudices. He
is well known as author of " The Confessions of a Journalist.".
The Week at Washington
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Root have returned to Washington,
"and Mr. Taft will be back in a week or more. Departments news
will be, brisk from now on. Ridgway's will give you news and
information of national interest and importance that you cannot
find elsewhere. Martin Egan with his department editors con
tribute interesting reports and comments in our Washington Bureau
this week.
Humor, Fidtion and Illustrations '
Gelett Burgess in his Department of Humor contributes
a lively sketch entitled The Ultra-Peach, which he has illustrated
himself. Other contributors are Wallace Irwin, C. A. Selden,
Carolyn Wells and Justin Sturgis. T. Jenkins Hains has
written an excellent sea story entitled " The Edge of the Ron
cador." There is lots of go to this tale. If the plot doesn't
interest the most jaded reader, the illustration will. Joseph Conrad
contributes the second installment of his stirring serial, The Secret
Agent. Those who read the first article of the series Little
Tragedies of the' Trusts, by Ralph D. Paine, in the first number
of Ridgway's will be ready for the second installment entitled
"The Rebellion of A. Hertz, Butcher." These informing articles
will .cause a lot of comment. There is an excellent political car
toon by W. H. Walker.
This week's number will please the most exacting. There
are 4 pages on national topics of the week, 4 pages of national
editorials, 8 pages of local happenings in your district, 16 pages
illustrating current events, 8 pages from the Washington
Bureau, 4 pages of humor, 2 pages of The Week at a Glance,
with additional pages of general articles and sketches 64 pages
in all.
