AMERICAN TROOPS To BE REMOVED
FROM CUBA.
President Palmn'a Req ',sst Will In All
Probability be Honorcd by the
Secretary os War.

The government of the United
States is to be required to terminate
the last vestige of authority in Cuba.
The war department has been sd.
vised formally by the department OF
State that Estrada Palma has noti-
fed Minister Squiers that he de-:
sired the American troops remaining
in Cuba to be Withdrawn.
The State department does not
undertake to pass on his request but
transmits it to Secretary Root, hold
ing that the problem presented is
purely military one in proving the
competency of the new Cuban gov
ernment to take over and care for
the coast defense now in American
hands.
Secretary Root, while he has not
come to any conclusion, has indi-
Gated that the troops might be with!
drawn. It is a matter that may
be discussed with President Roose!
velt while the secretary is in the
West. At present there are eight
companies of coast artillery in Cuba.

GREAT BRITAIN AND VENEZUELA.
Diplomatic Relations NAY be 8evered Any
Minute-Seems to be an Old Sore.

London, Sept. 24.--The Associated
Press is in a position to announce
that diplomatic relations between
Great Britain and Venezuela are on
the verge of being severed. Any day,
almost any hour, may bring the an
nouncement that the British minister
at Caracas has been given his pass
port, wsth corresponding action to-
wards the Venezuelan representative
in London.
The cause of the crisis does not
seem to be confined to any particular
incident, but consists in various
differences which eliminated IN
Venezuela assuming such an angry
attitude as to leave Downing street
fully impressed with the belief that
the Venezuelan government intends
to force matters to crucial test issue.
That diplomatic rupture would re-
suit in hostilities, is contingency
thus far scarcely contemplated.
The present diplomatic relations
are so strained that to quote re-
sponsible' British official, it would
make very little difference if the fact
became public property by the ab
sence of the diplomatic representa-:
tives from Caracas and London.
The view of the foreign Office is
that affairs hsve reached a stage
where it is impossible to deal salts
factorlly with Venezuela in any
matter which may come up. In
proof of this contention the foreign
Office instances the report Of the
United States minister at Caracas,
Herbert W. Bowen, announcing that
the Venezuelan government has pro-
tested against the British flag being
raised over Pstos Tor Goose) island,
over which the Venezuelan govern
ment claimed sovereignty. Accord.
ing to the British governments un-
derstsnding Patos island belongs to
Great Britain just as much as Trini
dad, and 80 far as known no ques
tion as to its ownership has ever
arisen. Inhabitants of the island
have recently been shot or. otherwise
endangered through the action of
Observation-Disclosures government
or revolutionary psrtisans is not
known. For purposes Of protection,
the local West Indian authorities
ordered the British flag to be dis
played on the island, hence the pro-
test which the foreign Office says is
only one of many.

TWICE A WEEK. Sl.5O A YEAR
SURPRISE IN WAsHINGTON
Nothing Known There Of Presidents Con-
dision or Proposed Return.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The ILL.,
| ness Of President Roosevelt and thu
| consequent abandonment OF his West
erp trip came as total surprise tc
everybody in Washington. An
official report of the Presidents con.
dition came to the navy department
this afternoon from DR.. George A.
Lung, the surgeon who was detailed
to accompany the chief executive on
his trips. 1t was not made public.
1t was very much in accord with the
statement issued by Secretary Cortef,
you preceding the operation on the
President.
From the information at hand DR..
John F. Uric of the medical depart
ment of the navy is Of opinion that
the President will be all right in a
very short time. Such wounds as
that described are apt to be more
painful than serious. Whenever
there is break in the continuity of
the skin, he said, it makes the circu
lstion OF the blood in that vicinity
very poor and careful handling of
the injury is required to prevent any
liberation. The doctor thou sht from
his present Information that rest of
a week or 80 would cause the wound
to heal nicely and the cause Of the
disturbance to disappear.
No word regarding the presidents
condition nor Of his intention to re.
turn to Washington had been re
ceived at the temporary White House
up to 10 o'clock tonight. The gen.
ersl expectation, however, is that he
will make his headquarters there
during his stay in Washington.
There is an accumulation of business
on hand awaiting Mr.. Roosevelt's
attention and this with the fact that
the President has promised to re-
view the parade of the Grand Army
two weeks from tomorrow lead Off!
cisls in Washington to believe he
will remain here possibly until that
occasion has passed

PORTUGAL VS.. CHINA.
Row at Waipahu Sunday With Some
Revolver Play.

Portugal and China had a miX-up at
Waipahu Sunday. Portugal won until
Japan rallied to the assistance of Chi
ma and then the tide of victory was
turned News of the conflict was
brought this morning by Deputy Sher-
if Fernandez of Eva.
Last Sunday afternoon Manuel Gar
din, the barkeeper of the Waipahu
Saloon, accompanied by another Portu-
guese named Frail, went to the Chi
nese store kept by All Tai. The Portu-
guese were, it is stated, under the influ-
ence of liquor. Both were careless in
their use of pigeon English so All Tai
ordered them out of the store, profan-
ity being barred on Sunday. Gardin is
alleged to have drawn a revolver and
struck All Tai over the right eye with
it, cutting the flesh badly. All on
rushed in and called pau, pau"
whereupon, so Fernandez states, All
On received a similar tap from the re-
volver. Gardin and Frial are alleged
to have beaten the two Chinese.
Japanese rallied to the aid of the
Chinese and dispersed the Portuguese.

Portuguese and charged them with as

adding under her breath: II must do

The big lower limb of a sycamore

thought was, that II she could elm

bend 1t down so that he could seize
hold of 1t. and either draw himself
out or hold on to 1t until she could
procure other aid.
She climbed the tree and reached
the big limb after encountering numer-
GUS bruises and scratches. which, how
ever. she did not heed. Then resting
a moment. she stretched her body out
along the branch and began to crawl
slowly toward Jimson, who soon un-
derstood what she intended to do.

She flattened her body down upon 1t

Flopsy had last year earning their

old gentleman laughed and enjoyed
the jokes. and in turn told Billy Dick
what he did years and years ago when
he was a boy.
So the time passed away quickly,
TIL word was brought to them that
there had been a wreck on the road
and that no train could run through to
Norfolk that night.
But I must co. said Billy Dick.

Could you go alone?"
Billy Dick began to grow tall. He
felt on a level with his pretty moth
er's shoulder as he answered:
why. of course. That would be
jolly, except for you and Rosy Posy."
So Billy Dick started that afternoon.
with a dollar in his pocket, and his
ticket carefully slowed away in an in

journey, and he had to change cars
twice.
AS he stepped off the train a little

smile came up to him.

we'd better get some supper here"
Billy Dick wasn't quite sure who
the old gentleman was, but as he
seemed familiar with him. why of
course 1t was all right. 1t would not
be polite to ask him who he was, and
a Morton is always polite. you know.
Probably 1t was great-uncle Howell,
whom he had seen years ago. Yes. It
must be. thought Billy Dick. though he
did not know that he lived in Rich
mond.
So the two went of together across
the street and round the corner to a
hotel.
Billy Dick had never been in a ho-
tel before. and before he was half
through supper he made up his mind
that as soon as he wGs big enough he
would persuade the amily to come
there-lt was SO nice u have hundreds
of things to eat all written out so
