TO TAKE CITY.
Cuban Junta Hears of Forward Move
ment of Insurgents.

ment of Insurgents.
New York, Sept. 24.--The Cuban
revolutionary junta received letter
today directly from General Orestes
Fsrrera, in which the general says
that he expects to unite with the forces
of General Pine Guerra and General
del Castillo and take the city of Ha-
vana.
He was halted outside of the city
of Santa Clara by information that the
United States government had appoint
ed commissioners to settle the difi1cul-
ty. He refers to this in his letter as
the "amiable Intervention of President
Roosevelt" The letter concludes as
follows:
I'VE. as well as our opponents, want
peace but 1t must be based on justice
We will not tolerate a mere commercial
transaction by which only q minority
of the people would, be benefited. We
want the benefit to be general. If the
peace commissioners should impose up
on US a solution of the contest that
would not make for the general bene-
fit, 1t would temporarily stop the revo-
luton. but the germs would remain 10
fructify at a period in the near future.
IF the Americans want to force
Palma into an honest solution of the
trouble think the commission ought to
give us the right to sustain our con-
tentions. If we cannot prove our
charges we are ready to give up the
struggle and submit ourselves to the
present government, which is to US as
odious as that of SPAIN"

Pixies PEAK CELEBRATION.

Observation-Disclosures Arrives.

Observation-Disclosures Arrives.
Colrado Springs, Col, Sep. 24--With
the city in the buff and white of the
revolutionary period, the national col
ors floating from almost every build
ing and the strains of martial music
resounding through the streets from
early morning, the Pike Centennial cell
of Pixies Peak by the man whose name
it bears, was opened here today.
The chief feature of the day and the
chief military display of the week was
the parade of infantry. cavalry and ar
tillery, followed by members OF the G.,
A. R.. Colorado National Guard and
Spanish War Veterans cowboys, In
dams, and Colorado pioneers also held
conspicuous positions in the parade.
Vice President Fairbanks and Mrs.
Fairbanks, arrived in the city from the
East early in the morning, and were
escorted to the Antlers by Thomas F.
Walsh, whose guests they will be dur
ing the entire week. Congressman F.
E. Brooks, and several other prominent
citizens also acted as the official re-
ception committee
The principal feature Of todays' pro-
gram was the holding of patriotic ex-
ercises at the Grand Opera House I'M
der the auspices of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and the National
Society of Colonial Danes of America.
Conditions for the Pike Centennial.
at least so far as the first day was con-
cerned could not have been more IA
vorable had they been made to order.
A glorious Colorado sunrise garbing in
red and gold the peak that Is in reality
the center of attraction for the assem-
bled thousands, ushered the day in.

Philadelphia, Sept. 24--An Internal

New York banker, was picked up on the

After it had remained immersed for
several hours 1t was taken out and eN-

TRUST IN GOVERNMENT.
European Powers Believe In United
States Honesty.

Paris, Sept 24--The limitations con-
tanned in dispatches from London to
the continental press to the effect that
he powers are about to engage in nego-
tations with the view of taking united
action to induce the United States to
recognize he principle of the open door
in Cuba in the event of an American
protectorate, or the annexation of the
island finds no shadow of combinations
here.
On the contrary the foreign office de-
clared specifically that nothing of the
sort has been suggested from any quar-
ter. The government of France assumes
that the United States is acting in per-
feet good. faith and with the sole OBJ
pect of restoring order, and is thus re-
plying to the inquiries of French mer-
chants who are manifesting anxiety
about their status should Cuba fall I'M
der the domination of the United States.
Nevertheless the French government
also assumes that should the United
States find 1t necessary to intervene and
annex the island, there would be no
discrimination against foreign CONNER
cial interests.

ductors collect cash fares. punch no
fare boxes, and consequently grow fat
on what they pull down. A great saw
ing could be effected there as in many
other ways. / cite this as an instance
of the wasteful methods employed.
AT one time gambling was so ram
pant on the isthmus, that 1t was car
ried on publicly in THE streets. The
United States government has stopped
that and there is none at all on the
zone. Another good thing the gov
eminent has done Is to reduce the
price of ice to small consumers from
about fourteen or fifteen cents pound
to half cent a pound. Business men
using large quantities pay one and
half cent a pound for II.
Government One of Guns.
"The government there? Electoral
Of course. but still a gun government.
You see, the negroes are 10 per cent
of the voters. 1t would never do to
allow them such control as their vot-
ing power WOULD give them. and the
result is that it is found necessary
to scuro them into supporting the right
side.
ITS a good thing this canal is to be
a lock canal" concluded Mr.. Russell.
"A sea-level canal would never do.
for there is a 2S-foot tide rise on the
Pacific side and an eight-foot tide rise
on the Atlantic. Ono lock would have
been absolutely necessary at Lake Bo-
Doe, any way, and only about four
will be required to make it lock
canal all through.
None of the French surveys have
been used at all. put we have found
many machine shops hidden in the
brush that were abandoned by the
French. These we did not know OF
but we are using them. Lots of this
neutrality-suspicious. of dollars worth
lie rotting there on the isthmus and
we can not use 1t. 1t is no more use
than so much junk. over $4,000 tons
of steel rails were also found recently
but the rails were too light for our
purpose.
"As 1 said before. enough. the canal
will never be completed so long as
politics predominates. The work mus'
be let to contractors, who will gel

Big Prollt. in the Tourist Crop.

Baltimore sun.
For many years it has been humor-
ously remarked that the principal crop
of Switzerland is the harvest of sum
mer tourists. Statistics recently made
public show that this is literal fact.
The annual income of the hotel pro-
prietors is now $S0,000,000 year, ana
the hotel men have acquired more
than one-thrd of the total increase
in the value of property in the coun-
try in the past half century. In that
me the total wealth of private prop
erty has increased from $4,000. 100000
to $3,40O.0OO 900. While this is not
phenomenal growth guaged by Amer
lean standards. 1t IS considered re-
markable for a small and comparative
ly poor country like Switzerland. 1t
would be interesting to know how
many millions of summer visitors pour
into New England. New York and Can
adam resorts. and what vast sum
New Jersey collects each year from
this source. Florida Is almost like
Switzerland in it's dependence on win
ter visitors, and the money spent each
year az Palm Beach. st. Augustine and
Jacksonville must amount to a very
large sum. The resort habit has be-
come so prevalent that 1t extends to
all classes of the population. With

little time to spend in their own ex-

and resumed his work at the Navy
Department Because of the great ac-
tivity of the Navy in Cuban waters,
the naval officials at the Department
in Washington are especially busy and
Admiral Dewey took up the added
work today with great interest.
Not being familiar with the condi-
lions which now prevaiy in Havana,
Admiral Dewey was unwilling to ex-
press any opinion as to what action
this country should take, but pointed
out that the present emergency
proves the need for more ships and
said that when the rest of the world
is busy constructing warships. the
United States should also devote itself
to naval construction and not permit
other nations 70 outstrip' 1t in naval
equipment.
