Roosevelt Will Take No Part i'm Cam
Daign,

Oyster Bay, N Y, September 81
If the present plans are carried out,
President Roosevelt will take no part
in the New York gubernatorial cam
paign this year. While it is known
that he was greatly pleased with the
selection of Charles E. Hughes. as the
head of the republican state ticket,
his comment OIL the conventions ac-
ton. for the time being at least, will
be confined to the telegram of con-
graduation which he sent to the can
didate last night.

Havana, September 27.-The proba-
bilities of the United States interview
ton in Cuba loom up far stronger this
afternoon than at any previous time.
Few people now doubt that interven-
ion is close at hand. The moderate
party leaders again demonstrated to-
day that they are willing to actual
~ begin negotiations with their oppo-
nents, and submitted a proposition re-
garding the negotiations which merely
proposes that they be taken off when
differences arise. Senator DOLE, pres
ident Of the senate, holds that it is the
duty Of the moderates to uphold the
constitutional authority, but says that
if they do not reach an agf aement with
their opponents tomorrow morning
American intervention will forthwith
be inevitable. He added, however,
that the moderates will do everything
possible to avoid intervention, even
to the extent of acceptin Senior Zayas
as president of Cuba, and thereafter
discussing terms for a final settle
ment. This attitude, however, is re-
garded Is only typical of the evasive
tactics of the government officials,
who in reality, are no more ready now
to concede the holding of new elections
than before.
1t now appears that the Cuban con-
gress will have a Quorum tomorrow
to consider the designations of Presi-
dent Palma and Vice President Men
dez Capote.
Messrs. Taft and Bacon this after
noon were asked if they considered
matters to be in a hopeful condition,
to which Mr.. Taft replied:
II do not know. | cannot say"
The assembly of moderates decided
to refuse to accept President Palma's
resignation in the hope of inducing
him to continue in Office and thus avoid
Intervention. Intervention by the in
stallation of a provisional govern
ment was contemplated for tomorrow,
but the United States peace commits
sioners will await the developments in
congress-.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, September 81
That there is still q. feeling of hope in
the highest circles that order event.
ually will be restored in Cuba seems
apparent. Even in the face of dis
couraging reports received by the
press today of the progress of negotia-
tons between Secretaries Taft and
Bacon, and the government and insur-
gent leaders in the island republic, pre-
parations for the presidents depar-
ture tomorrow for a stay of nearly 48
hours with the North Atlantic feet off
Provincetown, Mass, have been car
ried steadily forward. The yacht May
flower, on which he will make the
journey from Oyster Bay to the Mass
chusetts coast, arrived here tonight.
It had been suggested that if the event
of conditions at Havana assuming
what might be considered a really
desperate status the presidential visit
to the fleet under Rear Admiral Evans
might be abandoned or at least post
poned.
It was said at the executive offices
tonight, however, that there does not
cen to be at this time at least any
chance that a change Of plans will be
made. AS the Maylower and the
ships under Admiral Evans fleet are
equipped with wireless telegraph out
fit, the Provincetown journey does not
mean that the president will be v e
for a brief time beyond reach of his
commissioners to Cuba should they
desire to consult him.

necessity which tore him away in such
q fashion, and the same necessity is

upon the matter"
Sherlock Holmes was a past master
in the art of putting a humble witness
at his ease. n very soon, In the
privacy OF Godfrey Staunton's aband-
oned room, he had extracted all that
the porter had to tell. The visitor of
the night before was not a gentleman,
neither was he a workingman. He was
simply what the porter described as a
medium looking chap" a man of fifty,
beard grizZled, pale face, quietly
dressed. He seemed himself to be agi-
tated. The porter had observed his
hand trembling when he held out the
note. Godfrey Staunton had crammed
the note into his pocket. Staunton had
not shaken hands with the ma. In the
hall. They had exchanged a few sem
fences, OF which the porter had only
distinguished the n word time"
Then they had hurried off In the man
ner described. 1t was just half-past
ten by the hall clock.

1T is a great misfortune TO a serious
actor to be short said James X.
Hackett. "A short mar must have a
shorter leading lady, or, If he valves
that privilege, he must, in his scenes
with her. see to 1t that, when h pair
draw near one another, she sits, or
leans on a table, or kneels on an otto
man, while he stands very erect in his
high-heeled shoes, thus creating the
illusion hat he is rather tall.

always at a disadvantage.
