PREDICTS WAR IN CUBA.
DR.. Lionel de Peau, Roosevelt's
Physician After Battle of San
Juan, Sees Trouble.
THE ISLANDERS REBEL AGAINST PALMA
Predicts Revolution between
Whites and Blacks If He Becomes
observation-disclosures Annexation is
the Only Solution of the Present
Critical Situation.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 14.-"If Estra-
da Palma, the newly chosen president
of Cuba, ever lands on that island
there will follow Immediately revo-
luton between the whites and blacks
there, which will again tear the island
to pieces"
This is the prediction of Dr. Leonei
de Peau, now in this city, who was
physician to Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
now president, during the war IN the
island between the Spanish and Amer
lean forces. Further, DR.. de Peau says
that Palma was never wanted as presl-
dent by the better element, and that
the moment the United States troops
are withdrawn there will be another
conflict.
The Only Solution.
Annexation, says DR.. de Peau, is the
only solution of the present situation
in Cuba. Because of the tariff against
Cuban sugar planters cannot move
the crop. They have no money and no
means of raising any without giving
from 10 TO % per cent. on it, and he
thinks the spirit of internal dissen-
sion will tear the island to pieces
again, and that the United States will
be compelled to take possession.
Hope for Annexation.
This is what is desired by the bet
ter element, Spanish and Cuban alike,
he declares, and he is now on his way
to Washington to see President Roose-
Welt and tell him about the condi-
tions on the island.
Senior de Peau came to the United
States to see President Roosevelt per-
sonally in the matter of the loss of his
family fortune in Cuba. Vast tracts
of land which Spain never owned, he
says, have been sold there, and among
them the private interests of hundreds
of residents of the island.
Now he says hundreds are starving
on the island, the United States is
pouring a flood of labor there instead
of utilizing the labor at hand, and the
result is that, although three years
have elapsed since the close of the
war. Cuba has made little progress,
because of the fact that there is no
money.
Predicts New War.
Further" said DR.. de Peau, 1.-The sit
uation there is growing worse With
the withdrawal of the American sol
diers and the landing of Palma, If he
is permitted to land, there will be
new war.
'The only relief that the United
States can offer us outside of anneXa-
tion is the resembling of the present
sugar tariff, SO that planters who now
have a great deal Of sugar can ship
it. Cheap immigration to Cuba should
be stopped. We now have more ne
groes than we can handle, and we do
not want any more. The importation
of American negroes to Cuba has been
one Of the worst things we have had
to deal with.
."Palma is not the president for us
The whites wanted Masso. Palma
knows nothing about Cuba; he had
not been there for years, and does not
now know the conditions"
During the fighting around Santiago
Dr. de Peau attended Col. Roosevelt
during an attack Of fever. He is one
of the most noted physicians of Cuba

NEED OF MORE RECRUITS.
Additional Troops Are Asked For
in a Cablegram Sent to the
War Department.
CHAFFEE WANTS TO FILL VACANCIES.
Has Always Protested Against Re-
ducing the Military Strength in
the PhiIippines-Gen. Bell Reports
That His Men Have Swept Batan-
gas Free of Insurgents.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Additional
troops for service in the Philippines
have been asked for by Maj. Gen. Chat
fee In a cablegram to the war depart
ment Gen. Chaffee also requests that
recruits be forwarded to fill yacan-
cies in several regiments now below
the authorized strength. He reports
that he has enough recruits to fill all
regiments with the exception of the
"Fighting Ninth" infantry, for which
he will require about 800 men. This
regiment is now under orders to pro-
coed home, but may be retained sew
eral months longer, in view of the
troubles in Samar.
Strongly Protests.
Gen. Chaffee has strongly protested
against the original purpose of the de-
partment in reducing the military
strength by 5000 men, and his views
have the almost unanimous indorse-
ment of the officers stationed in the
islands. Secretary Root had expected
that before the summer closed he
could show material reduction of
troops in the Philippines. Gen. Chat
fees cable advices report the military
strength in the Philippines as 40,S70
enlisted men, exclusive of the troops
now on their way to Manila to relieve
returning short-term men.
Free of Rebels.
Manila. Feb. 17.-Gen. j. Franklin
Bell has practically cleaned up the in
surrection in Batangas province, the
troops under his command having
made a clean sweep of the district.
1t is not believed that all the insur-
gent arms have been captured or sur
rendered, but that a number of them
have been taken by the insurgents to
other provinces or safely hidden. The
increase of robber bands in the prov
inces of Tayabas and Cavite shows the
effects of the drastic measures adopt
ell in Batangas and Laguna provinces.
Gen. Bell says the people of these
latter provinces never realized the ter
rors of war until they personally ex-
perienced it's hardships, owing to the
closing of the ports and the concen-
tration of the natives in the towns.
MnIvar Losing Prestige.
Gen. Bell believes that the insurgent
leader Malvar is becoming exceeding
ly unpopular with the Filipinos and
that when the natives cease to fear
his vengeance many will be found will
ing to betray him. What has been
said of Batangas province applies al
most equally to Laguna.

CHICGGOANS SEE GOV STONE.
CIereymen and Business Men Appeal
to Him to Act Regarding
Coal Strike.

Harrisburg. Oct 8.-A delegation OF
Chicago clergymen and business men
called upon Governor Stone at the
executive department yesterday after
noon and urged him to take prompt
action to settle the coal strike. Th7
delegation was composed Of Rabbi
Emil G. Hirsch, chairman; ReVs. NJ.
]. Dorney, NJ. Edward Fawsett, H. At

Turney, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Sydney
Strong, P. A. White and c. R Holden,
w. B. Corwin, Lawrence E. McGinn,
James McAndrews, DR.. J. G.. Gray, NJ.
G. Holding and DR.. C. A. Young.
Rev. Hirsch said the situation In
the strike region was without par
allel in the history Of the country,
and that the people in the west were
in sympathy with the movement to
effect a settlement between the oper-
ators and miners. The party had no
suggestion to offer to end tie strike,
but simply called upon the governor
to take such action as in his tudg-
ment would bring the trouble to an
end.
Father Dorney said the delegation
came as friends CT the state Of Penn
sylvania to ask the executive to ad-
wise with them as to the best means
Of ending the strike. The priest ex-
planned that he resides in the stock
yards district CT Chicago and knew
something Of the suffering caused By
strikes. The coal strike is going 70
cause untold misery among the poor
Of Chicago and other large cities Of
the country if it Is not speedily set
tied. All legal measures, added
Father Dorney, should be taken by
the governor TO end the strike. The
labor agitation mas become a social
revolution. The settlement Of this
strike in 4 speedy way will stop the
head!ong plunging toward revolution
that the labor organizations are TAX
ing today.
At the conclusion Of the priests
remarks the governor said he was
glad to meet the delegation, and the
visitors left the department
The delegation came here in a spe-
cial car and started yesterday after
noon for Chicago.

of the Grand Army Of the Republic

yesterday by a parade given in honor
Of the naval veterans and by a. num-
Der Of reunions held in the big assem-:

weather was threatening during the
early morning, but the sun burst
through the clouds about noon, so
that with the mild temperature which
prevailed there was no reason for
complaint on that score. The attend
ance had steadily increased during
yesterday, and last night the city was
crowded as it has been only on very
rare occasions.
The naval parade Of the forenoon
was not as large as many that have
been seen in Washington, but 1t was
in every way interesting. The vet
erans Of the navy each appeared %
be an embodiment Of much OF the ma
tion's recent history, and every squad
of them was an object Of interested
observation. They were generally oid
men, and many bore evidences OF
wounds received in battle. In strik.
