Admirals end Other Officers Visit
Brazilian Minister of Marine and
Diplomatic Colony at Petrop- ,
oils City Gives Welcome.
IlIO DB JANEIRO. Jan. 13. Swinging
lazily at their anchors, the American bat
tleships early this morning seemed as ,
though they were enjoying a well-earned
re3t after, their run of 3000 miles and
more from Trinidad. They lay under
the green hllla of Rio, In the shadow of
Mount Corcovada, that looks right down
into the city. Soon the streets took on
a lively appearance, as thousands made
their way down to the edse of the water,
where they could watch the ships and the
launches dashing In and out.
A warm welcome awaited the fleet
from the very moment the signal flags
went up announcing its appearance, and
from the first landing of the "liberty"
mm until anchor Is weighed again Rio
has much in store for those who wish
to view its beauties and enjoy Its bounty.
Evans Too 111 to Celebrate.
Kntertalnments bave been arranged for
almost every hour of the day and some
of the hours of the night as well, but the
f.lct that Rear-Admiral Evans, com
mander of the fleet, is 111 is cause for
the deepest regret. The Brazilian offi
cials deplore this the more, as they
wished to' make this visit the occasion
for marked attention to the Americans,
but Admiral Evans is suffering from
rheumatism and it is . feared he will be
unable to' appear at the festivities, and
without his presence these must lose
something of their character.
Banquet at Petropolls.
Today Admirals Emery, Thomas and
fiperry, accompanied by the captains of
all the battleships, paid a visit to the
Minister of Marine, Admiral Alencar, who
returned the visit on board Admiral Evans
. flagship, the Connecticut. Later the
American officers went to Petropolis, the
home of the diplomatic corps, SI miles
distant from the capital, to attend the
reception of President Penna and a ban
quet given in their honor by the Ameri
can Ambassador, Irving B. Dudley. They
were accompanied on' their trip to Petrop
olls by many high Brazilian officials and
by representatives of the various lega
tions, who on Saturday came Into Rio
for the purpose of greeting the American
officers on their arrival. "Among these
wt4S the attache of the Japanese legation,
who extended cordial greetings on behalf
of his country.

OREGONIAN KeVs BURKAU, Wash
ington, Jan. IS. The action of the
Senate judiciary committee in today re
ferring; the nomination of Chris
Scheubef to a subcommittee composed
of Messrs. Fnlton, Knox of Pennsyl
vania and Clarke of Arkansas, means
that no action will be taken until the
protests against Mr. Schuebel arrive
and are considered. It is not Likely
that the subcommittee will take action
thlr week.
The appointment of Mr. Fulton ' as
chairman of the subcommittee indi
cates the friendliness of the Judiciary
committee to him and gives Mr. Fulton
immediate control, though Mr. Knox
and Mr. Clarke may not agree with
him. Mr. Knox has been very friendly
to Mr Fulton since he entered the
Senate, though he fought Mr. Fulten
when Mr. Fulton and Mitchell joined
hands to prevent the sending of F. J.
Heney to Portland. At the same time
Senator Bourne has been assiduously
cultivating Mr. Knox for a few months,
o Mr. Knox will be called upon to
decide between two friends. Mr.
Clarke Is a Democrat, under no obliga
tions to either Senator, and will act as
he believes the facts justify.
Senator Fulton and Representative
Hawley were today shown' an inter
view with Mr. Schuebel published in
The Oregonian of January 8, in which
he was quoted as saying:
"Fulton and Hawley assured me that,
should I be appointed, I would receive
no further opposition from themU.'
Mr. Fulton emphatically declared he
male no such - statement to Mr.
Schuebel. but did tell him. he would
support the man chosen by a majority
of the delegation, whether he was in a
majority or not.
Mr. Hawley . declared Mr Schuebel
was either mistaken or misquoted, for
he haa given, him no such- assurance.
All he told Mr. Schuebel was that he
would not oppose Mr. Schuebel on per
sonal grounds. -

ITRGKS WITHDRAWAL IX YEAR
Taft Virtually Commits Government
to Leave Cuba.-
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. As far as
he can, Secretary Taft has committed
the Government to a promise to with
draw completely from Cuba in the be
ginning of Spring in 1909. This pledge
is contained in a letter from Secretary
of War Taft to the Presidents trans
mitting the report of Governor Magoon
for the last year. After directing that
the report from the Government shows
the conditions in Cuba to be' encour-'
aging. Secretary Taft says:
"It was hoped by some that the cen
sus might be completed in -September
last. I did not think soV and I am not
at all surprised to learn that the cen
sus has not-been completed and prob
ably will not be until- April or May.
This will postpone -the-local elections
until June, the Presidential election un
til December and the installation of the
President and Congress and the turning
over of the Island until about March
or April of 1909. This is In compliance
with our promise when we assumed
temporary control of Cuba, and it
seems to me that we ought to allow
nothing to interfere with carrying out
that promise. There are Important in
terests that would be gad to delay our
stay there for years, but good faith
and good Judgment require us to leave
at the time appointed."
The report of Governor Magoon con
stitutes an exhaustive history of the
American intervention in Cuba and of
the passage of the island under Amer
ican control.

Helen , E. Maloney has begun suit for
the annulment of her marriage to Arthur
'H. Osburn is causing comment at the
Vatican. Her marriage with Osborn is

RAISULI J0INSJEW SULTAN
Will Not Release MacLean No
Change In French Policy.
PARIS, Jan. 13. A special dispatch to
the Matin from Tangier says that Raisuli,
the noted bandit, has Joined Mulal Hand
and that he still persists in bis refusal
to give up Caid. Sir Henry MacLean. ex
cept by order of the new leader. A dis
patch from Rabat to the Ministry says
that the Sultan's court is terror.-stricken
by the. news that Mulai Hafid is pro
claimed Sultan. The Matin reports that
conferences between Premier Clemenceau
and the French -representatives at Berlin
and Tangier make it practically certain
that there will be no necessity of modi
fying the French policy in Morocco.
Dispatches received last night by the
government from Rabat announce thill
the army of General Gagrandi, chief of
the Sultan's army, which was encamped
outside of the city, has been called within
the walls. This is causing great anxiety
to the Europeans, who fear the soldiers
of Abd-el-Aslz.
There has been- published here a state
ment from an inspired source to the ef
fect that the French government Has de
cided to confine its action in Morocco to
assuring the security of the Algerian
frontier and the maintenance of order at
the ports in accordance with the Alge
clras act. '

Rumor of .Domestic Trouble of
Long Standing Denver Home
Closed Studying In Parts.
OMAHA, Neb.. Jan. 13. The estrange
ment between Ruth Bryan Leavitt ' and
her artist husband bids fair to result in
a permanent separation, according to
advices received In Omaha by friends of
Mrs. Leavitt.
Mrs. Leavitt spent nearly two months
in Omaha last Fall, during which time
she was much with the Misses Comstock
.and Cla.rk and Miss Edith Locke. Miss
Locke was a classmate of Mrs. Leavitt
at the Nebraska State University, and
Miss Comstock also attended the same
girls" school with her.
Miss -Locke today received from Mrs.
Leavitt a letter in which she stated that
she would not see Jier husband during
her trip to Europe, and intimated , that
she did noT expect her husband again to
return to America. He is now an art
student in Paris.
Much has been said at different times
about the domestic, differences in the
Leavitt family, but they have been well
covered up. During the horse show sea
son, however. Mrs. Leavitt spent several
days In Omaha, and her friends say that
during that visit she quietly admitted
having broken off relations with .her
husband.
Later Mrs. William J. Bryan, .in pre
paring for the trip to Europe, invited
Miss Raymond, of Lincoln, to Join her
self and Mrs. Leavitt. The question of
the husband was quietly evaded with the
statement that he already -was in Paris
and probably never would return.
The Leavitt home In uenver nas Deen
closed, and it was said no attempt has
been made to conceal the fact that it has
been sorely neglected and that it was re
cently ransacked of its valuables. Since
she went to Europe, several of Mrs.
Leavitt's former Omaha friends have had
letters from her which are said to Indi
cate that her wedded life is at an end.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13. Ruth Bryan and
Artist W. N. Leavitt were married In
Nebraska October 3. 1903, and went to
New 'Orleans to reside. Their first baby
was born In New .Orleans, where Mr.
Leavitt was a devotee of the baseball
diamond.
Leavitt met his wife while he was ex
ecuting a commission to paint her
father's picture. When It became known
to the young woman's parents that she
was in love with Leavitt, objections were1
made, it is said, but Ruth- was persistent
and finally won her parents' consent to
the marriage.
Shortly after their marriage there was
talk of trouble between them, and rumors
that William Jennings Bryan had to pay
his son-in-law's and daughter's board bill
at the Planters Hotel,' in this city.
