LOOKS TO UNCLE SAM.


st. Louis, July 24.-Capt Robley
d. Evans, U. s. N. Fighting Bob,
who has been taking baths at Hot
Springs, Ark, for two months, passed
through this city Monday en- route to
Washington. While at Union station
he talked freely about the Chinese
situation, and among other things
said:
In my estimation. the great powers Of
the earth are facing the most critical
situation that has arisen In modern his
tory. To put It vigorously. they are sit
ting on powder barrels, and an explosion
may come al any time II Il does come,
II will annihiliate present national boun-
daries and change the map OF the world
so that Il will not be recognizable.
do not believe In the talk that China
may become a world power OF It's own
force. II stands In immediate danger Of
dlsmemberment and the partition OF the
empire can only be prevented by the
United States. This country cannot af-
ford to stand by and see China divided
up among the European governments
without making a protest that will shake
the world and announce to all the earth
that this nation must be supreme In the
east because It holds the Philippines.

PEACE AND ORDER PREVAIL

Cnba for Their Moral Influence
5000 TO Remain.

Washington, July 23.--Gen. Wood,
governor general of Cuba, had a con.
ference Saturday with the secretary
of war with the result that it was de-
termined to keep force of about g.
600 men in Cuba for several months

withdrawal from the island of an
other regiment in addition TO those
previously ordered home.
Gen. Wood says that peace and quiet
prevail in Cuba and that troops are
kept there simply for their moral in
fiuence. He expects TO sail for Havana

AS TO cUBA's FUTURE.


Washington, July 23.-At the war
department II is said that the an
nouncement that the United States
authority is TO be withdrawn from
Cuba on May Of next year is incor-
rect. Arrangements for a constitu-
tional convention are being made.
The length of time required for the
convention to complete It's work is a
matter Of conjecture, but II Is believed
that constitution can be agreed
upon by the FIRST of the year.
The question as to whether congress
will pass upon the constitution after
1t has been formulated will have been
determined by that time. 1t Is still
believed that Cuba should be a free
country in eight or nine months.
Whenever the government Of the
island is turned over TO the people
II is insisted that this government will
somewhere have an agreement that
no treaty hostile to the United States
shall be signed by the island-in other
words that in treaties and matters of
this kind the United States shall NOM
inally have veto power II her interests
are At stake and demand IL.
