AS an interesting illustration OF the fear
full and wonderful ways a correspondent
can distort facts. the following item, which
appeared In a New York paper Monday
under an Indianapolis date line, may be
cited:
"A statement was given out tonight by
Governor Durbin, in which he said that
he had received numerous letters asking
him IL he would be candidate TO succeed
Mr. Beverdge in the United States Senate,
and that he had heard numerous rumors To
that effect. He wished to say that he
would not be a candidate under any cir
cuInStanees. He added that he takes TINS
method OF setting the matter at rest
For four weeks Senator Beveridge mas
been engaged in perfecting an organiza-

on Friday IL was understood that he was
certain of controlling eight out of the thir-
elected in January. Governor DurDih

nor is regarded as virtual withdrawal
from the senatorial race"
Not a statement in this item is correct.
and the only true Information II carries Is
that Governor Durbin had given out an in
terview of political significance.

1t was expected that Lieutenant Governor
Gilbert, of Fort Wayne, who has been con-
fined in a Battle Creek sanitarium for
some weeks suffering with an acute attack
of rheumatism, would be here yesterday to
attend the meeting of the Indiana World s

A telegram was received from him yester-

physicians refused TO parole him for sew

able to meet with the commission until the

WASHINGTON, Nov. i0.-President
Roosevelt transmitted the following mes
sage to Congress to-day:
ITO the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives:
'I have convened the Congress that IL
may consider the legislation necessary TO
put into operation the commercial treaty
with Cuba, which was ratified by the Sen
ate at the last session aud subsequently by
the Cuban government.
''I deem such legal action demanded. not
only by our interest, but by our honor. We
cannot with propriety abandon the course
upon which We have so wisely embarked.
When the acceptance of the Platt amend
ment was required from Cuba by the action
of the Congress of the United States. this
government thereby definitely committed it
self to the policy OF treating Cuba as occu-
pying a unique position as regards this
country. 1t was provided that when the
island became free and independent re-
public she should stand In as close rela-
tions with US as In certain respects TO come
within our system of international policy;
also, to a certain degree, become included
within the lines of our economic policy.
Situated as Cuba Is, IL would not be pos
sible for this country TO permit the strategic
abuse of the place by any foreign military
power. II Is for this reason that certain
limitations have been imposed upon her
financial policy and that naval stations have
been conceded by her to the United States
The negotiations as TO the details OF these
naval stations are on the eve OF completion
They are situated so as TO prevent any
idea that there is the intention ever 10 use
them against Cuba, or otherwise than Tor
the protection of Cuba from the assaults
of foreign foes and for the better safe
guarding of American interests in the
waters south OF us.
These interests have been largely in
creased by the consequences of the war
with Spain, and will be still further in
creased by the building of the isthmian
canal. They are both military and economic.
The granting to US by Cuba of the naval
stations above alluded to is of the utmost
Importance from military standpoint, and
is proof of the good faith with which Cuba
is treating US.
"Cuba has made great progress since her

II is a market which lies at ouS doors,
