FEAR INSURRECTION
New Elections In to b b Hay Not
Settle Troubles.
«*-•
WHAT MAY MEAN ANNEXATION
Further Intervention Would Bring On
Inevitable— Annexation Wanted
by Few People.
Washington, Dec. 29.— Occasional
rumbling or rumors of little sideshow
insurrections popping up in certain
provinces of Cuba are tending to keep
the United States from forgetting the
problem it has to deal with down there.
There are some angles in this problem
that have received little attention as far
as the public is concerned, but Which
have occupied and are now occupying
much attention on the part of high gov
ernment officials and administration
advisers among the members of Con
gress.
■
It is a fact not generally known that
our government entertains grave fears
regarding what may happen following
the Cuban elections in January. A
great many have believed that inter
vention by the United States will have
accomplished its purpose as soon as a
new- government has been chosen by the
Cuban people; that our forces would
withdraw after inaugurating this new
government with tranquility estab
lished. Thabis the rosy view of the
situation, and everything would be
lovely if our high officials were sure it
would work out just that way.
But they are not sure. President
Roosevelt, it is understood, has grave
doubts about the effect of the coming
election on the defeated party.
If we be forced to do any more inter
vening there will be an effort by a cer
tain element to force annexation, which
some of our ablest statesmen insist is
something that comparatively few peo
ple in this country want. The admin
istration recognizes the embaraeeing
situation that may confront it and, after
President Roosevelt’s warning to Cu
bans to “ be good’’ in the future or take
the consequences, the question is just
what course shall be pursued 'if the
Cubans don’t stay good.
TOO MUCH RED TAPE
W R E C K O N IN T E R U R B A N .
Tacom a-Sssttls Passenger and Work
Trains M ast on Curva.
Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 27. — Interur
ban train No. 3, bound from Seattle to
Tacoma, and a work train consisting of
a motor and five flatcars, collided head-
on in a cut about a mile east of Milton
Wednesday morning.
Two persons
were killed, one probably fatally hurt,
and 14 more or less badly hart. The
first coach of the interurban passenger
was telescoped, and two of the flatcars
piled on top of it.
There were about 20 passengers in
the telescoped smoker, some of whom
strangely escaped with only slight in
juries. The car was entirely demol
ished, and some of the passengers were
hurled 20 feet in the flying wreckage.
Train No. 3 from 8eattle was late
and had orders to sidetrack at Edge-
wood to let No. 6, the passenger for
Seattle, pass.
The work train was
given orders at Milton to follow No. 6
to Edgewood. C. R. Foss, a brakeman
on the work train, was sent to Edge-
wood on No. 6 with orders to flag No.
3 and hold it on the sidetrack until the
work train cleared. He either failed
to place the flag or there was a misun
derstanding of orders. Foes disap
peared and cannot be found.
No. 3 pulled out on the main track
as soon as No. 6 pawedfcnd being late,
started down the grade at a good speed
Half a mile this side of Edgewood on a
curve that rune through a deep cut, it
"met the work train. The curve is so
short that it was impossible for the
crews of either train to see the other
until too late to stop.
The trains came together with a crash
that was heard half a mile. The two
forward cars of the work train went
over the platform of the first car of the
passenger, striking it at an angle on ac
count of the curve. To this fact alone
is due the escape from death of every
passenger in the car.

Washington, Dec. 26.—The sixth an
nual report of the director of education
in the Philippines concerning the sotiv-
ities of the educational work in th»
islands for the year ending June 80, S
1906, shows that there are now 8,16ft
primary schools in the islands, with an
average of 375,654 pupils. Seven hun
dred American and 6,224 Filipino
teachers are employed. All„,of the
school divisions, the report says, con
ducted teachers’ institutes, varying
from four to Bix weeks in the different
provinces. The instruction given waa
divided between the common branche»
of the intermediate course and special
topics of instruction, such as school
gardening, domestic science, primary
industrial work and methods of teach
ing.
There are 2,464 primary scl ool build
ings in the islands owned by the mu
nicipalities and, in addition, a number
of buildings belonging to the provinces
but not constructed originally for school
purposes are used. Private instruction,
the report says, plays a large part in
the intellectual condition of the islands.
Many of these schools are supported by
the Catholic church, with a histpry
reaching back several decades. Some
of these institutions teach English, al
though in practically all of them Span
ish is the basis of instruction. The
Filipino teachers, Dr. Barrows says,
continue to gain in reliability, strengthf
of character and moral purpose.
Washington, Dec. 27.—For several
years past there has been a very active
movement in favor of the passage of a
free alcohol law, which resulted last
session in the enactment of a law re
moving the internal revenue tax on al
cohol to be used for commercial pur
poses. The demand for legislation of
this charvacter came principally from
farming communities, and was based
upon the theory that if the tax were
removed farmers would be able to man
ufacture from their surplus grain, veg
etables and fruit sufficient alcohol to
supply themselves with power, heat
and light.
Congress responded readily to the
demand, and when the law known as
the free alcohol law was approved, the
general .impression was that the United
States had entered upon a policy simi
lar to that which is in vogue in leading
European nations, and that the farmers
of the country'would reap a great ad
