AMERICANS IN CUBA.
ARMED GUARD FROM u. 8.
CRUISER is LANDED.
Action Is Taken mt the Request of
President Palma, Who Feared of
an Uprising in Havana-Troops to
Guard American Interests.

President Palma, in a moment OF
panic Thursday, asked for the protec-
ton of American sailors and guns and
100 men were landed from the cruiser
Denver. Commander COlwell Of the
Denver and Mr.. Sleeper, the American
charge d'affaires, explain that the sail
ors were landed only to protect Ameri-
can interests. 1t is admitted, however,
that President Palma asked for protec-
ton, fearing an almost immediate at
tack on Havana from the rebels.
Later in the night Commander Col
we'll was shown a press dispatch from
Washington stating that the sailors
from the cruiser Denver had been or
dered to return. He said he believed
he had done right. However, If, after
reaching an understanding of the situa-
ton. the Navy Department ordered the
return of the sailors on board ship, the
order would be carried out.
President Palma and his colleagues
in the government were in a state OF
demOralized panic when they asked
that the sailors be landed. The rebels
were at the doors Of the city and a
large body started to march on Ha-
vana. The report was current that
Pine Guerra, at the head of 5000 men,
would enter the city and that the pOpu'
lation would rise almost as a unit In
his behalf.
The administration already had lost
control Of the entire island except GER
tain considerable towns. Havana was
isolated, as the wires were cut In every
direction. All railroads had suddenly

crop this year would have yielded a larger

crop this year would have yielded a larger
percentage of increase on the returns of
1905. but there are several causes that
have contributed to keep down the aver
age yield. The greater the number Of
new settlers the greater the chance of in
experienced and less profitable farming.
1t is the newer settler, as a rule, who. d
his anxiety to break new land, has sown
on this years stubble, and a good aver-
age yield cannot be expected on this lani.
But, be that as it may, a crop of 9O,OU'-
600 bushels in the Canadian West is not
to be looked at lightly. Allowing 2O,OoO,-
900 bushels for home consumption and
seeding purposes, 7S,0O0,OOO bushels viii
represent the export trade, and this guam
lity at a little better than 20 cents per
bushe!, will represent a distribution OF
nearly S36,0OO,000 for wheat alone, be-
tween Winnipeg and the foothills and
this large amount of money is altogether
independent of the cost Of freighting this
vast quantity of grain from the western
elevators to tidewater.
The income of the Western Canadian
farmers this year will be further aug
mented by the returns which they will re-
ceive from the excellent crop of oats and
the good crop of barley which is their
portion. OF oats alone over 7o,OOo,oW
bushels are claimed, and barley brings to
market over 100000 bushels. An ad-
ditional $25,OOO,OOO from these crops
added to the $5O,OOO,OOO from wheat, and
the proceeds from dairying and mixed
farming, will contribute very materially
to making agriculture in Western Canada
a very dependable business.
A drawback to the more successful car
rying on of farming operations in the
Canadian West for some years back has

knowledge of the life, conditions and OPP
portunities in the three prairie provinces
that should greatly quicken the stream
Of settlement from the rural districts OF
Britain to Canada.
From the Western States, too, valuable
assistance has been received in the work
of harvesting the crop this year, and some
of the finest fields in Saskatchewan and
Alberta have been worked almost exclu-
| sively by Americans. So successful has
been the settler from the Western States,
usually, that he is invariably the fore
runner of a colony from that portion Of
the State whence he came, and, through
the new provinces particularly, there is
a very strong representation from North
and South Dakota, Oregon, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan, ILL.,
nois, Missouri and other States of the
Union. These are amongst the most Pro
g~ressive settlers, as they come we'll pro-
vided with money, completely equipped
with stock and machinery, and possessed
of knowledge Of western farming which
cannot possibly be possessed at first hand
by the settler from beyond the ocean.

been the difficulty of obtaining needed
nelp at harvest time. AS each year an
additional area has been put under crop
this scarcity of help has been accentuated,
and during the present harvest the cry all
along the line has been "HarVeSters
Wanted" The work Of preparation ana
seeding is spread over several months, Dut
the ingathering of the harvest has to be
done in a few weeks; hence the necessity
for additional assistance at that partlcu-
lar time. The crop of 1903 required lo''
600 harycstprs from outside, and this year
it has been estimated that from ZZ,OOV
TO 10000 will be required to supplement
the work of the farmers in Manitoba
Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The demand for harvest hands IS not
permanent. the work for which they come
lasting only from early in August until
the end of the thrcshing season. Many
of those who come 10 work IN the grain
fields. however. remain and become grain
growers themselves, creating additional
demand for the same class OF help, ana
thus the problem becomes more acute
every succeeding year. The time was
when q sufficient number of harvest hands
rould easily be obtained from Ontario,
but in recent years the area taken in by
the harvest excursions has been extended
and in 1904 and 1905 it reached clear
down to Nova Scotia in the call for men
to work in the fertile fields of the West
This year the limit has been further ex-
tended, and a new movement of British
farm laborers has been inaugurated,
which will be Of incalculable benefit to
the prairie country, giving a stimulus to
immigration, and disseminating among

been brought to a standstill. There
were popular demonstrations every
where in favor Of the revolution. Of
ficials were turning over towns to the
rebels and the defeat Of the Palma adj
ministration seemed inevitable. 1t was
these facts which led Palma to appeal
for American sailors.
The landing of the American force
was followed by an extraordinary Incl
dent. Commander Colwell was ap-
preached by an accredited emissary of
Alfredo Zayas, president Of the Liberal
party, and Gen. LOynaz Gel Castillo,
commander of the insurgent forces in
Havana province, with a signed offer
from each of the men named to sur
render their commands and hand over
their arms to Commander Colwell on
the sole condition that the United
States government through him guar
antec them fair and judicial trials.
Commander Colwell, accompanied by
Charge d'Affaires Sleeper, Immediately
carried the proposition to President
Palma. The President was Immensely
pleased and asked Colwell If he would
accept the %surrenders. Commander Col
we'll replied in the negative, but advised
the President to communicate with the
Washington government on the subject.
which was done accordingly.
Hurry orders were issued to com
nanders of cruisers Newark, Tacoma
and Cleveland, at Norfolk, Va, to pre-
pare to sail for Cuba at once. 1t is re-
ported also that the general staff of the
army was ordered to prepare plan for

Winnipeg correspondence:

Winnipeg correspondence:
For the past four or five weeks the re-
suit of the harvest in the Canadian West
has been an absorbing topic, not only with
tic Canadian people, but with a large and
interested number of Americans-millers,
grain dealers and farmers particularly.
To such an extent has this interest in the
Canadian grain crop been manifested that,
when the Northwest Grain Dealers Asso-
citation left for their trip of inspection,
they were accompanied by a number of
American grain dealers who felt it neces-
saIy TO have a personal knowledge of the
subject.
Two or three weeks ago a public state
msnt was made by Mr.. Robin, Premier of
Manitoba, in effect that the wheat crop
would reach 115,OOO,O00, and that there
would be fully 10O,0O0,O00 for export,
apo at that time there were many who
believed that Mr.. Robins estimate was
we'll within the mark but since then con-
ditions have changed, and other estimates
have been made. Every possible effort to
get accurate knowledge OF the crop has
been put forth in many quarters.

The Cuban Congress met in extraordi-
nary session Friday bills prepared au-
thorize Palma to use 100000 to sup
Iress the insurrection and permit him
to suppress newspapers and deport for
eIgners. Troops are being drawn into
Havana in expectation of rebel attack.
4 dispatch from Mr.. Sleeper, Ameri-
can charge at Havana, says it is reported
that 300 insurgents attacked the rural
guards on the morning of Sept. II at
Iaza (Santa Clara province) and that
the government lost eighteen men, while
the loss of the insurgents is not known.
The government forces retreated to Sancti
Spiritus. Mr. Sleeper adds that a rumor
is current of an uprising in Camaguay.
The postal service between Santiago and
Havana is interrupted. Mr.. Sleeper's re-
port is based on a telegram received from
the American consul at Santiago.
Crisis seems nt Hand.
Developments in Cuba indicate that the
rebel forces are growing 80 strong that
the government cannot successfully cope
with them. The action Of President
Palma in asking that American sailors be
sent ashore in Havana shows that he is
in a state Of panic. His capital Is be-
sieged by the rebels, who have isolated it
by cutting telegraph wires, stopping trains
and holding all the roads leading to other
parts of the island. Cienfuegos is sur
rounded by a superior force of rebels. A
rising in Havana against the government
was deemed imminent by President Palma
up to the time the American force was
landed by Commander Colwell Of the Den
yer. Though orders from Washington
soon recalled all the Americans except a
small legation guard, it may be that the
moral effect of Commander Colwel's &C
ton has strengthened somewhat Presi.

front of the State capitol at Columbus.
Tn principal figure of the thousands OF
persons who packed the streets and the
capitol grounds were Mrs. Alice Roose-
vel~t-Longworth, daughter of the Presi-
dent, who unveiled the statue. The two
principal orators of the occasion were
Justice William r. Day of the United
States Supreme Court and United States
Senator John w. Daniel Of Virginia.
Gen. r. b. Brown of GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
head of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and Gen. Joseph W. Kay of New York,
past national commander of the Union
Veterans Legion, and Gov. Harris also
! made addresses.
Elaborate preparations were made for
the dedication, but there was no ostenta-
tious display or formal parade. An i'm
mense open stand, seating 1000 people,
handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting, was erected along the entire
west front of the capitol building, and 1t
was occupied by distinguished Buckeyes
from all over Ohio.
Mrs. Longworth and her immediate
party occupied an especially constructed
stand jutting out from the center of the
general stand, and she could thus be cas-
lily seen by all. The wide space Of ground
between her and the statue was packed
with people.
The exercises, held on the anniversary
of McKinley's death, opened with an over
ture by Neddermeyer's band, followed by
a song by the Republican Glee Club. The
Rev. Washington GLADDEN. offered prayer
and Gov. Harris, as president of the day,
delivered a short speech. Justice Day fol-

ity Of the Plat amendment.
This was the obvious and clear-cut
intent Of a letter automatically ad-
dressed to Senior Quesada, the Cuban
minister, who is now in Lisbon, but
which, the President in the body Of b
letter states, really IS intended for the
Cuban government and the Cuban peo-
pie. In accordance with this specific
purpose the President says he has d.
rected the letters immediate publica-
ton"
Cuban Government Incapable.
President Roosevelt declares in this
letter that the present Cuban govern
ment, by its WI act and admissions.
has proven itself incapable of main
tanning order throughout the island. 1t
has failed to protect the lives and prop
erty either Of Its own citizens or for
eign residents Of the island.
This condition Of anarchy, the Presi-
dent insists, must end. The present
civil war must cease and arrange-
ments be made for an immediate and
permanent peace.
In order that arrangements for such
peace may be made the President is
sending Secretary of War Taft II
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon to
Havana. 1t is their duty to see that
the necessary arrangements are car
ried out.
To meet any unexpected crisis that
may arise before peace can be restored
President Roosevelt has arranged for
the immediate dispatch to Havana Of
six more cruisers and 1000 marines.
The cruisers selected for Cuban SER
vice are:
Des Moines-Two hundred marines;
sailed from Key West
Dixie-Three hundred marines; sailed
from Guantanamo.
Tacoma-Three hundred marines; sail.
ed from Norfolk, va.
Cleveland-Three hundred marines
sailed from Norfolk, Va.
Minneapolis-Three hundred marines +:

Philadelphia, waiting orders.
Newark-Three hundred marines !;
ready to sail from Norfolk, Va, at hours
notice.
Admits Crisis Is Grave.
The decision to have a force of 1000
fighting men ready to set foot on Cuban
soil at any time the situation demands
their presence there illustrates the
alarm with which the government
views the situation in Cuba. 1t was
for the purpose of preparing to meet
the worst that President Roosevelt,
who has been keeping his hand at the
helm in the Cuban matter, called Sec
rotary Of War Taft from his vacation,
and summoned Secretary Of the Navy
BOnaparte and Acting Secretary Of
State Bacon to Oyster Bay for a con.
