FOR ROOT TO DECIDE.
Secretary OF War Has the Application OF
President Palma for Withdrawal of
all Troops from Cuba.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The govern
ment of the United States is to be
required to terminate the last vestige
of its authority in Cuba. The war
department has been advised formal
ly by the department of state that
President Estrada Palma has mott
fed Minister Squiers that he desires
the American troops remaining in
Cuba to be withdrawn. The state
department does not undertake to
pass on this request, but transmits
it to Secretary Root, holding that the
problem presented is purely a mill
tary one involving the competency
of the new Cuban government to take
over and care for the coast defenses
in American hands and thus make
sure that the country is not exposed,
without any military protection, to
possible foreign enemy. Secretary
Root, while he has not come to any
conclusion, has indicated that the
troops might be withdrawn. At pres
ent there are eight companies of
coast artillery in Cuba; at Havana,
there being the Twentieth, Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth; at Santi-
ago, the Seventeenth and Nineteenth,
and at Cienfuegos, the Eighteenth
and Twenty-frst.

ROOSEVELT AT DETROIT.
Coief Executive Reviewed Great MILITARY
Parade and Attended . Banquet Given
by Young Veterans.

Detroit, Afichs Sept. 23.-The
presidents two-days' visit to Detroit
came to an end at the conclusion of
a banquet rendered him by the Span
ish war veterans, the opening of
whose third annual reunion he at
tended. 1t was a brilliant event.
Nearly 500 men sat at tables on the
floor of the big armory and the gal
leries were crowded to their utmost
capacity by acknowledgement wo-
men and their escorts. When the
president rose to begin his address,
which was the first of the evening,
the food stood up and cheered again
and again, while the clapping of
hands from the gallery was like the
crackle of musketry.
In his speech he strongly advo-
Gated tariff reciprocity with Cuba,
Notwithstanding the Michigan dele
CATION in congress unitedly opposed
it. The president said: Il do not
believe a particle of harm will come
to any American interest from the
adoption of a reasonable measure of
reciprocity with Cuba. 1 am certain
that the adoption of such a measure
will be in the interest of our peo-
pie as a whole. Above all, while
fully acknowledging the highmind
edness and moral sincerity of those
of my associates with whom on this
point 1 differ, yet feel most strong
ly. that by every consideration of a
generous and farsighted public pol
icy we are bound to prove to Cuba
that our friendship with her in her
struggle for the material wellbeing
is one which must underlie healthy
national Development"
The president at three o'clock par
ticipated in the parade of the Spanish
war veterans, which he later re-
viewed. He was given a great pop
ular ovation during the entire after
noon. The greatest crowds ever seen
in the city lined the streets through
which the parade passed and great
them from ened to end as the presi-
dent drove by. Excursions brought
thousands from nearby towns. For
what is believed to have been the
first time in the history of the coun-
try a president of the United States
reviewed a regiment of British
troops. The Twenty-frst Essex fu-
siliers participated in the parade by
the special permission of this govern
ment and the Canadian militia de.

IT RAISES A STORM.
Colombians Don't Like Commander
McLean's Rigid Methods.
But Uncle Sam Is Determined to Stop Hos
tilfties in q Territory Through Which
May Run the Great Isthm
Canal

Washington, Sept. 23.-Officials OF
the Colombian legation here predict
that storm of disapproval will arise
in Colombia as a result of Com
mander McLean's action in disarming
the Colombian troops before their
passage across the isthmus. 1t is
stated here that Colombia's agree
ment with the Panama Railroad COM
pany specifically provides for the
transportation of Colombian soldiers
by the railroad when occasion arises,
and the commanders action is re-
garded at the legation here as di-
rect infringement of ColOmbia's SOW
ereignty over the isthmus. Com.
mander Mclean, in having the troops
transported in separate train from
their arms, is acting apparently
in accordance with his construction
of that part of Secretary Moody's in
structions, cabled on Saturday, which
read: ANY transportation of gov
eminent troops not in violation of
treaty and which would not endanger
transit or provoke hostilities may not
be Objectionable. The department
must rely upon your judgment to de-
eide such questions as conditions
may arise from day to day"
n belief which has grown so strong
that it no longer can be disregarded
is held in Central and South Ameri-
can diplomatic quarters here in re-
gard to this latest, and, in point of
numbers, almost unprecedented dis
patch of naval force to the isthmus.
This belief is that the large naval
force which has been sent to keep
traffic open across the isthmus will
prevent, by its very presence, the
continuation of hostilities along the
railroad on any extensive scale and
soon bring them to halt altogether;
that the force has been sent there
in anticipation of an early signature
of the Panama canal treaty and that
it will be kept there to maintain or
der and quiet along the strip from
Panama to Colon, which, by the
terms of the prospective treaty, the
United States is to control.

Nothing Sensational on Tariff or the
Trusts Roosevelt.

Saratoga, n. Y, Sept. 23.-The com
mittee on platform of the republican
state convention has agreed on the
three leading planks. Touching the
tariff, the policy of protection to
American industries is reiterated.
On trusts, it says that while every
business man and corporation will
pursue a financial advantage as far
as it can be made to go, the repub-
ican party, while not discouraging
such effort, will see that it is not car
ried to unlawful extremes. A thor
ough and strong Endorsement of the
national administration and an in
dorsement of the candidacy of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, complimenting him
upon progressive ideas, his ardent
patriotism and his lofty integrity, is
included.

LOVE-CRAZED YOUTH.
Marion Lucas, OF Fairport, Mo-. In jail and
Miss Maude Chisham Dying of
Bullet Wounds.

Maryville, Mo-, Sept. 22.-Great ex-
element prevails in this town and
village of Fairport, nine miles north,
on account of the probable fatal
shooting of Maude Chisam by her
lover, Marion Lucas, at Fairport.
Lucas, who is young farmer, quar-
relied with Miss Chisam, handsome
young woman of 16 years, and fired
four shots from a revolver at her
after their return from a drive and
stroll which had been continued
from nine o'clock until midnight.
1t is generally believed in the neigh
borhood that the shooting resulted
from a mad love and the girls re-
fusal to marry her lover, although
Lucas, who is now in Jail, claims he
was driven to desperation by the
girl imploring him to marry her.
Miss Chisam is popular in school.
