field, Cleveland, Harrison and Mckin-
ley. In the war with Spain much of

army fell upon the shoulders of Gen.
eral Corbin, and he met the duties and

ity that commanded admiration and
praise. IL Is uOC tOO MUCH 10 Say tndC

work of molding the army into form
than any other officer of the govern
ment, and he was one of the most in
f1uential advisers of President McKin-
ley.
The retirement of General Corbin
results in the promotion of Major
General Arthur Macarthur. one of the
most popular officers in the army. to
the grade of acknowledgement The
vacancy in the list of major-generals
is filled by the promotion of Brigadier-
General Jesse NJ. Lee. Major

IS GREAT INTEREST IN
NEW YORK'S PRIMARY

New York, Sept. 17.-Politicians are
on edge in anticipation of the primaries
tomorrow. With Charles F. Murphy,
leader of Tammany Hall. struggling
for political existence, Mayor Nc
Clellan battling to exterminate him;
with Herbert Parsons, backed by
President Roosevelt and Governor Hig-
gins, striving to rid the local republi-
cans organization of Odell and Quigg,
and Odell and Quigg fighting with all
their strength and political ingenuity
to destroy Prisons and reform influence
in the party, the battle of the primaries
may fairly be described as one of the
bitterest, as we'll as the most import
ant, in the history of local politics.
In eleven districts out of the thirty
five in Manhattan and the Bronx. there
are democratic contests. In eighteen
districts there are fights in the republi-
can party. All the democratic fights
are bitter, and in every one the issue
Is clearly drawn-Murphy against Nc
Clellan. Every asset available to every
leader Is being pressed into service and
every political trick on the calendar
is being resorted to.
In Brooklyn the contests are fully
as interesting and important as those
in Manhattan, and the borough Is a
high fever of political excitement. The
control of both the democratic and
republican organizations is at stake,
and 1t Is possible the action of both
state conventions next week may de-
pend upon the results of the primaries.
On the republican side Timothy l..
Woodruff Is fighting for the control

Readiness for Dispatch to Cuba.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington. Sept. 17.-Cubt is the
part of official Washington which is
dealing with the disturbed situation
in the island republic. The state de-
partment. upon instruction'from Oys-
ter Bay, is directing the policy of the
government in the present crisis.
The navy department is furnishing
the force to carry out the policy and
the war department is ready for any
part it may be asked to take, if in
tervention is decided upon. The policy
of government is shown in the order
to withdraw from Havana all the
forces save such as may be accom-
modated in the American legation, and
which remains as legation guards. To
have allowed the force of more than
one hundred blue jackets to camp
around the palace of the president of
Cuba. it was believed could not be
construed otherwise than as taking
sides in favor of the Palma govern
ment. as such force would protect
him in his present position. Strict
neutrality between the warning fac
tions. but with every possible precau-
ton to protect American life and
property. is the policy of the United
States. The navy. acting under Or
ders. also from the president, is ready
and preparing to furnish such force
as may be necessary to carry out the
policy. If the ships already in Cuban
waters are not sufficient, others will
be dispatched Those ships which
were destined for duty elsewhere and
were leisurely QUILTING for a cruise
in Dominican waters, have been under
rush orders and will sail soon. There
are other vessels available and almost
in readiness for sailing.

Pres. to The Event

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Baltimore, Sept. 1.-THE story of
an innocent man serving sentence in
the penitentiary here was told to gov
ernor Warfield today by the man for
whom the prisoner is said to have
shouldered the blame A letter from
Chicago. signed Michael J. Healy, re-
lates how Patrick McManus has suf-
fered in silence for nearly two years
for an offense for which Healy says
he is to blame.
On returning to his home in Ire
land Healy unburdened his conscience
to a priest. who made him promise to
see that McMaus was indicted. The
result is a letter recounting their ar
rest. McManus' self-sacrifice and pun
ishment and Healy's shame.
In the letter Healy says that in
1905 he induced McManus to accom-
pany him from Ireland to Baltimore,
where they were to establish them
selves in business. They became
stranded shortly after arriving in this
city, and Healy. who claims to have
been bank clerk, forged a check
which he gave to McManus to cash,
saying he had received it in payment
for newspaper article. Healy says
he counted on receiving a remittance
in time to cover the amount of the
clerk. The check was dishonored and
both were arrested.
McManus, according to Healy's
statement, pleaded guilty and assumed
all responsibility, hoping that Healy
when released would be able to set
things right. Manus was sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary. Healy

Times.
Havana, Sept. 1.-THE insurgent
leaders Campos Marquetti and GARLIC
have withdrawn their forces from
Guanajay, and have agreed to the sus-
pension of hostilities. pending peace
negotiations.
Other insurgent leaders, so far as
they have been heard from, also are
agreeing to suspension of hostilities.
1t is not believed possible, however,
for the Cuban government and the in
surgents to come to any definite ar
rangement in the matter of securing
peace before the arrival in Havana of
Secretaries Taft and Bacon. This is
the way the situation looks today.
Another party of emissaries left Ha-
vana this morning for Elgano. for the
purpose of negotiating with General
Del Castillo, but it will be impossible
to reach and confer with all the rebel
leaders before Wednesday. The most
hoped for now is that Secretary Taft
on his arrival will find matters in read
mess for him to begin adjudication.
The moderates are not yet willing to
make large concessions and neither
are the liberals. considering their
strength in the field, willing to recede
much from their original demands.
General Menocal held a conference
with Alfredo Zayas, of the liberals. at
a late hour last night, but with no
definite result.

When informed of Healy's action,
McN1anus declared that he (McManus)
was innocent of any wrongdoing. but
that as his term would expire in De-

of Portland consists of 1000 acres and
there scientific experimentation is go
ing on. The growth of a tree depends
on the maount of sunlight on top of the
tree and fertility of the soil The ideal
tree is one without many low branches.
Thus trunk growth is the result The
process of thinning is like wedding in
a garden, except that the refuse can
be used for fuel etc.
A drawback to formers management
is that they cut before tree has fully
developed.
A tree sixty years old will produce
seven ties, but farmers have often cut
when a tree would produce but one or
two. In true development cutting out
sprouts has resulted in tree develop
ing double in eight years.
Thirty per cent. of the state. land has
been abandoned Of late years, and a
state forest of 300 acres has been estab-

to reclaim this kind of waste sandy
land by planting to white pine.
Two year old seedlings can be plant
ed on open land at 81 per 1000. Refor-
esting such land costs about So per

the state is in Litchfield and was plant

The greatest danger Of all is forest
fires, and they should be guarded
against Last year the legislature pass
ed law for the appointment of forest
wardens in different districts. These
wardens can call on any man between
eighteen and forty-five years of age to
help put out such fires. He can arrest,
without warrants, anyone caught start
ing such fire. These wardens are paid
by the towns and the towns in turn
are paid by the state.
In closing the speaker said that Con-

Prof Brewer was asked to make a
