bought all necessary machinery and
lexpect TO have the factory in opera

The plant will have a capacity OF
1 100000 yards annually. Mr.. John

Washington, October 18.-President
Roosevelt had a long conference today
with Secretary Taft and Assistant Sec
retary Bacon who made full report
fall that occurred on the island since
the United States government inter-
vened to restore order. The condition
Of affairs in the island and the view of
the officials as to the future were taken
up with a view to a thorough under
standing of the situation by the presi-
dent. The financial feature of the
Intervention also was talked of and the
question of the appointment Of fiscal
agent for the United States in the is
land discussed. 1t is expected that
some responsible banking institution
will be selected for this purpose. Neith-
er the president nor those who confer
red with him were willing to make
| more than general statement regard
ing the conference.
Orders will be issued within few
days for the withdrawal Of all but five
hundred Of the marines now in Cuba.
They will be replaced by additional

try until the total force in Cuba num-
bers about 1000.
Brigadier General Bell, chief If staff,
probably will be withdrawn from Cuba
within a month or two and the names
of General Win and Duvall are under
consideration to succeed him.
All Of the warships in Cuban waters
except two or three OF the smaller
cruisers are to be withdrawn at once.
Panama matters also were discussed
to some extent. It has been decidt to
appoint a governor as well as an Amer
ican minister for Panama, although the
president is not yet ready to make pub
lie the names of the persons he has
selected. When Governor NagOOn was
at the isthmus, he filled both positions.
Secretary Taft will not accompany
the president on his trip to the 18TH
mus. The present expectation is that
the president will be unacc0mpanied by
any member of his cabinet or other
high officials.

Jules Althaus, of Omaha. and Dick
Mitchell of Council Bluffs, both well
known business men. and while the
game was in progress Miss Baker
stood by. For several years both men
have been rivals for Miss Baker S
heart. Yesterday they decided to
throw dice. the loser to drop out Of
the race. Miss Baker was consulted
and agreed to abide by the result. At
ter each had won a game and Mitchell

losing throw. He shook hands with
Mitchell and walked away saying he
would never call on the girl again.

There was no way possible to extin-
guish the flames and a number Of
those who lost their lives we're burned

piteous appeals for help being IN.
