3REAT FLEET PREPARING
Overwhelming Xaral Force, With
4000 Marines, Soon to Maneuver
Off Cuban Coast and Formid
able Army Being Gathered.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 28. SpectaJ.
Real trouble Is brewing In Cuba. The
crisis may come sooner than has been
expected. The situation that confronts
our Government was outlined at some
length in these dispatches last night, but
today developments have been made
known which give it an even more seri
ous aspect.
"War Is probably the only way out of
the difficulty."
The words quoted came from an ex
ceedingly high Administration source and
they were uttered today with a distinct
view to preparing the American public
for the extreme of what is likely to hap
pen. The statement is warranted that
President Roosevelt and those In closest
touch with him respecting the solution
of the Cuban problem have well-nigh de
spaired of sottling the same amicably.
It was stated, last night that grave fears
were entertained regarding what might
follow the coming elections in ' Cuba.
Further investigation today develops the
fact that trouble Is feared even prior
.to the balloting. The trouble, it is an
nounced, may be postponed some months
and then again it" may corns in a few
weeks and possibly any day.
.. Moderates Do Not Desire Peace.
No telegraphic advices from Cuba have
been received either by the Secretary of
War or the Bureau of Insular Affairs
since December 24. and the War Depart
ment is very much concerned as to late
developments In the island. Mall received
today, however, brought the Information
that the elections, originally set for Janu
ary, cannot be held until June, If then,
as the commission charged with framing
the election laws has only Just started
with its work.
There is more than a suspicion in Wash
ington that the Moderate party in Cuba
does not want a peaceful settlement of
the pending differences. The Moderates
were in power when it became necessary
for the United States to intervene In
affairs last Fall, and apparently the Mod
erates cannot get over the thirst for
power that at that time was being
satisfied.
General Bell's action In ordering troops
to proceed to Santa Clara Province, whilo
it is openly pronounced to have been for
the purpose of giving the men marching
practice. Is privately admitted by war
officials here to be Intended as a move
ment to give moral support to the doc
trine of independence which our . Govern
ment is bent on making known, . forcibly
If need be.
Will Send Powerful Fleet.
The fear in Washington is that a single
park may kindle the flame of revolution
throughout the island. In view of this,
preparations are being made to reinforce
the military forces in Cuba at short no
tice. Within a very few weeks one of the
largest fleets this Government ever has
massed will concentrate in Cuban waters,
ostensibly for practice In maneuvers at
sea. Every battleship in the Navy will
be there. There will be 12 powerful bat
tleships in Admiral Evans1 command, but
the most significant thing is that the
fleet, aside from its physical exterior
prowess, will carry about 4000 marines,
who could be landed at almost a mo
ment's notice to meet any emergency that
arises. The General Staff already has
made preparations to rush a formidable
army to General Bell's aid if another
revolution breaks out.
Quesada, the Cuban Minister to this
country, haj been alarmed by the under-the-surface
reports of the trouble that
Is likely to occur in his country and Is
taking measures intended to allay the
feeling of distrust that exists there.
SHOOTS NO WILD TURKEYS
President Has Bad Luck While
Hunting In Virginia.
CHARLOTTESVIL.LE, Va, Dec. 28.
President Roosevelt's hunt today across
Hardware River a dozen miles from Pine
Knot was fruitless as far as wild turkeys
were concerned, the only trophies being
a few birds which were encountered on
the return trip. The party included the
President. Surgeon General Rtocey, Joseph
Wilmer, Kermit Roosevelt and Lieutenant
Hammer. . . . .
Last to Ratify Algeciras Treaty.
MADRID, Dec. 28. With the arrival
here of official notification today that the
United States had ratified the Algeciras
convention regarding Moroccon reforms,
notices of ratification from all the powers
concerned have been received. It was
announced that regulations governing the
International police force in Morocco will
be drawn up by the French-Spanish dele
gates, the Swiss Colonel wHT Is to com
mand the forces and the Moonsn Minister
of War.
PEACE WITH HERREROS
Germany Ends Disastrous War In
Southwest Africa.
CAPT TOWN, Dec. 28. It is learned
here from the German border that a.
peace treaty between the German forces
and the warring Herreroes has been
signed in Damaraland.
A serious uprising by the Herreroes
broke out in Southwest Africa in Jan
uary,' 1904, and has given great trouble
for almost three years. The govern
ment took the standpoint that the col
onies were a National duty and that
Germany's position In the world should
be preserved by the. successful conduct
of the Southwest African campaign.
The dissolution of the German Reich

defeat, 117 to 16S, of the government's
bill for a supplementary appropriation
to support the German troops- in the
field.
The war In Africa has been de
scribed in Germany as profitless, costly
and Inglorious, and the refusal of the
chamber to pass the supplementary
credits of $7,350,000 of the war fund
showed Its unpopularity.
Germany has at present about 12,000
men in Southwest Africa. Had the
supplementary credit been passed, the
war would have cost the German treas
ury a total of $176,500,000.
RAISULI PREPARES FOR WAR

ernorship and has sent his harem to the
mountains under the protection of a de
tachment of Kabyles, and Is preparing

Gabhas at Zlnat.
The War Minister entered the city In
state today and went to the grand
mosque, where he solemnly read a letter
from the Sultan dismissing Raisull from
his Governorship for causing Injury to
the country.
Raisull Is preparing to preach a holy
war "against the foreign Invaders."
MURDER TWO GREEK FAMILIES
Bulgarians Then Burn Bodies and
Destroy Homes.
ATHENS, Dec. 28. A dispatch from
Seres, European Turkey, 45 miles north
east of Salonika, says that Bulgarian
bands Invaded the village of Cleopona9ia
and murdered two Greek notables, their
wives and children, and afterward burned
the bodies and destroyed the homes of
their victims. Bulgarians have mal
treated Greeks in other villages, the dis?
patch continues, for refusal to adhere to
the exarchate.
Mexico to Buy Another Railroad.
CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 28. It was
learned today from seemingly authori
tative sources that the Mexican Govern
ment had begun negotiations for the pur
chase of the Mexican Railway from Mex
ico City to Vera Crux. It is said that
when the company Is formed to take over
the holdings of the National and Central
lines, the Mexican Railway will be In
cluded In the same company.

SIXTEEN KILLED ON RAILROAD
All Communication Stopped by
Great Storm.
MANY TRAINS SNOWBOUND
Passengers Suffer From Cold and
Hunger People Freeze to Death
on Highways Swiss Vil
lages Cut Off.
LONDON, Dec 28. It has been many
years since Central Europe generally has
suffered so severely from an Arctic visi
tation as it has this Christmas week.
From France, Belgium, Switzerland, Ger
many and Austria-Hungary the same tale
Is repreated of heavy snow storms, inter
ruption of vehicular, telegraphic and rail
road communication, loss of life and gen
eral discomfort.
While Great Britain as a rule escapes
Winter weather; she has suffered this
year to an almost unprecedented degree.
According to reports tonight from north
ern points, the storm Is growing worse.
The heavy snowstorms which began sev
eral days ago continue. They are accom
panied by violent gales and even thunder
storms In some places, and have resulted
In a serious railroad accident near Arbor
ath, Scotland, In which about 50 persons
were killed or suffered serious injuries.
Railroads All Tied Up.
Railroad traffic In the north of Eng
land and especially in Scotland Is becom
ing completely tied up. Large towns like
Edinburgh, Dundee and Perth are almost
Isolated. The telegraphic services are
disorganized and would be completely
useless but for the extension in recent
years ' of 'the underground wires. . The
snowstorms continue with equal severity
in Northern Wales-and In Ireland.
None of the trains that left London
Thursday over the Midland Railway have
reached Edinburgh, while other trains
are snowbound and passengers are suf
fering from cold and hunger. Relief
trains are being embedded In the snow
and the railroad companies have Issued
official notices that it Is Impossible to
guarantee traffic on schedule time, so far
as Scotland is concerned. There has not
yet been serious trouble in Central and
Southern England.
Wrecks Along Coast.
The gales have caused many minor
casualties along the coasts. Among the
most serious disasters thus far reported
is the wreck of the Japanese liner Awa
Maru through the snapping of her anchor
cable. No lives were lost, but the steamer,
which Is on the rocks off Redcar, threat
ens to become a total loss.
In London snow continues to fall at
Intervals and Is bringing much discom
fort, besides involving the authorities in
heavy expense to clear It away. Lon
doners who live in the suburbs are in
dulging in the unusual pastime of tobog
ganing. Jflne Persons Freeze to Death.
Nine persons have been found frozen
to death on roads In England In the last
24 hours. Forty to 50 women had narrow
escapes from death today owing to the
collapse of the snow-laden roof of a Co
vent Garden warehouse, but most of them
were rescued from the wreckage with
only slight injuries.
In the mountain districts of France
there Is much suffering from the heavy
fall of snow and consequent floods are
reported from the highlands of Ardennes.
In Belgium drift Ice Is forming on the
Scheldt and other large rivers and all
communication with points In the Herto
gen Forest is at a standstill.
Swiss Villages Isolated.
In Switzerland the weather is of un
usual severity. The uplands already are

under six feet of snow and some moun
tain villages are completely isolated.
This state of affairs Is drawing renewed
attention to proposed measures to keep
the Swiss passes open all the year
through. Thus far the government has
declined to contemplate doing this because
of the heavy expense.
Austria and Hungary are also in the
grasp of Wlntery weather. Traffic on
some of the railroads In Gallcia has been
suspended. In Buda Pest snow has put
an end to street travel of all kinds on
wheels. "
Germany reports the heaviest general
snowfall In many years and railroad
traffic is considerably distorted.
Ship Sinks Off Welsh Coast.
The gale raged on the northwest coast
of Ireland today. Near Rathmulten a
three-masted schooner drifted to a peril
ous position. A steamer went to her res
cue and towed her to safety.
Nothing further has been seen of the
vessel that was reported to have founder-,

tonight. It Is said that the sunken ves

eral other vessels are In distress in the
outer road of Holy Head and grave fears
are entertained for their safety.
Clothes Freeze to Bodies.
All further attempts to refloat the Bel
fast steamer Orniiey, which Is stranded
near Dover, have been futule. . A life
boat stood by the Ormley for 50 hours.
The life men suffered severely, their
clothes freezing fast to their bodies. A
numbr of tugs went out today to stand
by the Ormley and the lifeboat returned.
Several vessels have been assisted Into
Dover. The steamer Eleanor, of Plym
outh, reached port after having her sails
blown away. The schooner Cambrian
had a narrow escape from being blown
ashore at Deal. The bark Regla. rtruct

crew took to the boats and after much
hardship reached Goodwin light. A large
steamer is reported in distress off Scar
borough. The sea is so rough that It is
impossible to launch a lifeboat.
There is very heavy weather In the
Irish Sea and the great waves are break
ing over the breakwaters. The Irish
mall service Is conducted with diffi

Sixteen Killed and Thirty Injured in
Scotch Railroad Wreck.
DUNDEE, Scotland, Dec. 2S. In a rail
road collision today, caused by the heavy
snowstorm, 16 persons were killed and
more than 30 Injured. The accident oc
curred near Arbroath, on the North Brit
ish Railroad, between Edinburgh and
Aberdeen.
Among the injured is Alexander Will
iam Black, member of the House of Com
mons from Bannockshire, Scotland.
Owing to the heavy fall of snow, trains
from London for Aberdeen were held up
at Arbroath. During the afternoon the
line was' cleared and one train proceeded
for Dundee. It had stopped at Elliot
Junction and the danger Signals were
thought to have been set. They failed to
act, however, being clogged with snow,
and an express train dashed into the rear
of the waiting train.
It Is recalled that the Arbroath accident
occurred on the anniversary of Scotland's
worst railroad accident, the Tay bridge
disaster of 1879. and within 60 miles of
the scene thereof. In that wreck a bridge
collapsed and precipitated a train with
more than 70 persons into the river. No
one escaped.
Spanish Steamer and Crew Lost.
CORUNNA, Spain, Deo. 28. The Span

Grand Jury Charges
Them With Forgery.
IN NEW YORK LIFE'S AFFAIRS
False Entries in Books Re
garding Prussian Loan.
CHARGE ONLY TECHNICAL
Accused Got No Benefit, hut Policy-
holders Got Much, Says Grand
Jury Inquiry Will Con
tinue Next Month.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28. The grand Jury
which has been Investigating the New
York Life Insurance Company today re
turned Indictments charging forgery In
the third degree against George W. Per
kins, formerly vice-president of the com
pany and a member of J. P. Morgan &
Co. and Charles S. Falrchlld, formerly
Secretary of the Treasury, president of
the New Tork Security & Trust Com
pany and a member of the finance com
mittee of the insurance company.
Mr. Perkins entered a plea, of not guilty
and gave bond in the sum of $10,000, his
sureties being J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr..
and Cleveland H. Dodge. Mr. Falrchild
is in Europe. The court assured Mr. Per
kins that a double surety was not neces
sary, but he replied that he preferred it.
Six indictments were returned against
each of the two defendants, but all are
based on the transaction known as the
Prussian "loan," the specification as to
forgery being alleged falsification of book
keeping entries. It is asserted that cer
tain railway stocks were transferred by
the insurance company to the Security &
Trust Company in order to comply with
the Prussian law, but that the transfer
was not bonaflde.
Got No Benefit From Forgery. '
- The grand Jury coupled with the Indict
ments a presentment In which It places
Itself on record as convinced that Messrs.
Perkins and Falrchild were "Influenced
by a desire to benefit the policyholders."
The grand Jury further says the Indict
ments were returned only under a strict
Interpretation of the law as laid down by
Distriot Attorney Jerome. The statement
to Recorder Goff follows:
"The grand Jury respectfully presents
that, in filling a bill of indictment against
two persons for offenses committed In
connection with the affairs of the New
Tork Life Insurance Company, accepting
the law of these cases as advised by the
District Attorney,' they feel constrained
to find the indictment this day filed. The
grand jurors, however,- desire to record
their conviction that In doing the acts
charged the defendants were Influenced
by a desire to benefit the policyholders
pf the New York Life Insurance Com
pany; that the defendants themselves
neither did nor could in any way per
sonally profit from the acts done and
that the evidence conclusively showed
that a large pecuniary benefit was de
rived by the policyholders as a conse
quence of these acts."
This statement was an official conflrma
tion of the reports which had spread
about the building where the grand Jury
was In session that the jurors were not
at all convinced that a crime had been
committed in the "Prussian loan" trans
action. The matter was pressed by Mr.
Jerome, however, who appeared before
the jury on a number of occasions and
made arguments. Mr. Jerome was with
the Jury until late yesterday evening
and again early today.
Surprise to Falrchild.
The trial of W. D. Mann, the editor of
Town Topics, on a charge of perjury be
fore Recorder Goff was interrupted in
order that the grand jury might report.
Mr. Perkins, accompanied by his counsel
and prospective bondsmen, was In court
some time before the grand Jury ap
peared. It had been an open secret for
Jjtt the Empyrean Do Its Share.
two days that Mr. Perkins would prob
ably be indicted and his counsel had had
several consultations with the District
Attorney.
The Indictment of Mr. Falrchild came
as a surprise, for he had not been pub
licly connected with the Investigation.
The New York Security & Trust Com
pany, of which Mr. Falrchlld was presi
dent, was at the time of the "Prussian
loan" controlled by the New York Life
Company. The railway shares were trans
ferred by the New Tork Life to the Se
curity & Trust Company, and it Is con
tended that. If a crime was committed,
Mr. Falrchild must have been cognizant
if It and a party to the transaction.
It Is said that the discharge of the De
cember grand Jury, which followed 'the
presentment of the insurance Indictments,
does not end the inquiry into the New
York Life. The statement that the stat
ute of limitations becomes effective Jan-

uary 1 with regard to any irregularities
developed in the company during the
Armstrong Investigation is erroneous.
The Inquiry will probably be continued
by the January grand Jury.
Prussian Loan Affair.
The "Prussian loan" matter was de
veloped during the Armstrong Investi
gation. Some years ago the Prussian
government adopted a law which ex
cluded all American Insurance com
panies from doing business in that
country. American life Insurance com
panies were active there and the law
was a serious blow. They at once
made an effort to re-establish them
selves by complying with the new law.
As- a result a Prussian commission
came to this country to investigate
various companies. Among these was
the New York Life. The- commission
returned to Prussia with the recom
mendation that the companies be aatn
permitted to write insurance, provided
they sell all stocks held as securities,
it being a fundamental principle of
Prussian law that no insurance com
pany should "hold as collateral any
stock. Only bonds were permissible.
To meet this demand, the New Tork
Life agreed to sell 10,000 shares of
Chicago & Northwestern preferred and
6300 shares' of Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul preferred. It Is now charged
that, instead of selling these stocks
outright, the company merely trans
ferred them to the New York Security
& Trust Company, a subsidiary con
cern, where they were held in trust, not
being actually disposed of until about
one year later, when they were sold on
the stock exchange at a profit to the
company of $155,000. The Chicago &
Northwestern brought a profit of )250,
000, while the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul stock showed a loss of f95,000.
Charge in Indictments.
The indictments against Messrs. Per
kins and Falrchlld set forth that "the
defendant, with Intent to defraud, did
feloniously make In a certain book of
accounts called 'the old dates cash
book,' belonging to and pertaining to
the business of said corporation, cer
tain false entries." The entries on the
first indictment appeared as follows:
"B. & S., 2000 shares Chicago &
Northwestern preferred at J 2 3 5 1470,
