Looks Askance at German Enjoys
Visit to Moroccan Ruler.
Paris, Sept 25.-Although no official
apprehension is expressed in regard to
the purpose of the mission to Fez head
ed by Dr. Rosen, the German minister
to Morocco, which left Tangier Sept.
%, in advance of the appearance be-
fore the sultan of the representatives
of France and Spain, considerable mis-
trust exists.
In the present disturbed state of Mo-
rocco it is feared that word dropped
in the ear of the sultan by DR.. Rosen
might greatly prejudice the work of
the two powers which received Euro
pean mandates at Algeciras.
The last ratification necessary to per-
nit France and Spain to act is expect
ed to take place at the end of Decem-
Der, Immediately after which the rep
resentatives of France and Spain will
start for Fez.
In the meantime neither power Is in
a position to do anything to duell the
rising and turbulence in Morocco.
France can only prevent the troubles
from spreading beyond the Algerian
frontier.

Philadelphiss Sept. 25.-An internal
machine addressed to Jacob H. Schiff,

the package into pail of water.
After it had remained Immersed for
several hours 1t was taken out and ex-
amined. The box was made of paste
inches wide and one inch in depth. In
side were placed two rolls of paste
board, which held in place matchbox
filed with gunpowder and bullets.
Matches had been sunk into the pow
der, their heads resting against the top
of the matchbox, which had been back
ed with sandpaper.
To the lid of the matchbox was fas-
tened piece of string, with Jewish
New Years card attached. Upon open

ARMlsTIcE IN CUBA.
Cessation of Hostiiitles Agreed Upon
by Government and Rebels.

Havana, Sept ga formal armis-
tice agreement was prepared by Secre-
tary Taft and taken to the camps of
Generals Guerra and Castillo, where
these chiefs attached their signatures
to 1t.
The document was signed also by
Acting Secretary of the Interior Mon
talvo in behalf of the Cuban govern
ment.
The immediate cessation of hostili-
ties means everything. This winters
tobacco crop and the seed beds must be
planted within fortnight in order to
insure crop, but there is still suffl-
cient time for this If the negotiations
end as anticipated.
Victory for the Liberal or revolution
ary party seemed certain at the con-
clusion Of a long conference between
committee of the insurgents of eight
members and the American peace COM
missioners The insurgent committee
announced that there was practically
no difference remaining between them
and Secretaries Taft and Bacon.
Secretary Taft said he could give no
details of what transpired at the con-
ference for the reason that it was now
necessary to treat with the govern
ment leaders.
Trains are still occasionally stopped
and searched by revolutionists near
Havana. Reports received here from
CamapIlov arn that conditions ara
growing worse in the hitherto quiet
province of Puerto Principe. The in
surgents there are now taking horses
and plundering.
Secretary Taft, fearing the disturb
ing effects of the landing OF American
troops, has decided against such a step,
and instead he has appealed to the
leaders of the insurgents to furnish
guards for American property.

Steps Taken By Street and
Water Board Yesterday
for the Opening of Hendsr-
son Street From Canal to
Tidewater
IMPROVEMENT LONG DELAYED
ROBERT DAVIS AND ARCHIBALD
M. HENRY SAID TO BE BEHIND
THE SCHEME-BOARD TRANS
ACTED OTHER IMPORTANT
BUSINESS

The Street and Water Board yester-
day held a rather lengthy meeting, but
transacted mainly routine business, most
of which, however, was interesting to
property owners in various parts of the
city.
Among the items of business transact
ed was the adoption of the final map for
the improvement of Milton avenue and
the ordering of the map filed with the
City Collector for collection ef assess
ments. The improvement of Bergen
avenue, from Communipaw avenue to
Fairmount avenue, was accepted as COM
plete.
Van Keuren & Son captured the con-
tract for the improvement of Van Nos
trand avenue, bide for which had been
re-advertsed The successful FIRMS bid
was 80 per cent. of the staDdard cost.
Initial steps were taken for theNopen-
ing of Henderson street, from the Nor
>ris Canal to the tide water basin. This
means that South Cove is to be improv-
ed in the near future. Democratic Lead
er Robert-Davis and Archibald NJ. Hem
ry, who ran for Mayor at the last May
orally election, are said to be behind the
popular scheme South Cove, that could
be made one of the most valua bic assets
of the city, has long lain idle. All sorts
of schemes for its improvement have
been suggested in by-gone years. Talk
of dredging the basin and the construc-
ton of piers to be hired out to tenants
has been heard for years. Maps, plans
and specifications for such were drawn
some years ago. and are now in the office
of the city's chief engineer. The pro-
posed improvement of the Cove by
Messrs. Davis and Henry will be looked
forward to with much interest not only
by the property owners of the lower sec
tion of the city, but by every inhabitant
of the city.
A petition signed by the Rev. Father
Smith, of st. Johns Church, and many
parishioners, was granted to hold an out
door Holy Name rally in the vicinity of
the church on Sunday, October IA.

county Jail, Jennie Birch, fourteen
year-old nurse girl, declared that she
had been forced to administer poison
to two-year-old Wilbur Washington
Winship by woman whose identity
she refuses to disclose. 1t is believed,
however that the authorities will get
information from her which will i'm
plicate another person in the murder of
the infant and the incendiary fires
which occurred at the Winship home
stead.
''They were going to kill me, and !
couldn't leave my baby behisl,'' said
Jennie ''They were going to kill me
for burning the barn. Shevold me to
do it. She made me do it, the girl de
clared.
"Who is sheY the girl was asked.
Jennie opened her lips as though to
answer, but instead of speaking she
covered her face with her hands and
wept bitterly She refused to answer
any further questions and wept hyster-
ically.
Jennie is a short, dark girl with jet
black hair and flashing black eyes.
She is the grandchild of full blooded
Mohawk Indian. Except for the out
burst in which she declared she was
forced to commit the crime she has not
talked to any one since her incarcera-

good enough for us, no matter whether
it is Mr.. Adam, Mr.. Dix or anybody
