II is said here that the course of the United
States representatives in Cuba will be similar
TO that pursued by them in the last year of the
American occupation of the island. Among
the first things to be done is to arrange for
the election of new officials of the republic.
1t is expected that the elections will be held
about January 1st They will be conducted
under the Cuban electoral law and American
representatives will be prescott at the polling
places to see that they are conducted in an
orderly and legal fashion.

ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.

Mobile, Ala, via Meridian, Miss
Sept. 29-Nearly one hundred lives
have been lost in the Gulf hurricane,
which practically destroyed this city.
Reports from nearby towns indicate that
the death list will be larger.
Provisions are about exhausted and
the poor are starving.
Mobile is city of desolation. Eigh;
Thousand homes are in ruins The dam
age to the city will amount to IS, 600,
600, while estimates of loss 10 the out
lying districts reach 81, 200, 900. The
beaches are strewn with dead, as the
loss OF mariners was heavy. The military
is in control aud trying to meet the
situation. There is complete cessation
of business in Mobile, for the commercial
district was inundated.
Every effort is being made to ave't
famine. A commissary department has
been established in the centre OF the
city and the militia is feeding the poor
There is a great lack of food stuffs with
little prospect of aid from other cities for
some time. The farming districts near
by are under water, and railroad COM
muncation is still cut off. Relief trains
may not reach here for several days, as
miles of track have been washed away.
Disease from foul conditions of the
streets and reeking with csrrion is feared.
The dead along the shore are being
buried as rapidly as found and the city
officials are trying to restore the city
to sanitary conditions.
The shipping has been destroyed and
the wharves have been washed away SO
that arriving vessels will have to anchor
far from shore, making work of unloading
difficult. Scores of wrecks line the shore.
The hurricane was of such force that it
swept the sea into the city. The COM
mercial district was under seven feet of
water when The blow was at its height.
Rain fell in torrents, and all the streets
were nothing but fast running streams
The injured numbers hundreds.
Labor is al premium and wholesale
houses willingly paid as much as dollar
and halt an hour for common labor
today.
The cotton crop in the hurricane
swept district has been ruined. Planters
believe there will be a serious shortage
GulfpOrt, including the great Southern
Hotel, is reported almost entirely washed
away with many killed and injured. A
conservative estimate of the loss of life
in this vicinity places it at 100.
The Gulf storm has apparently exhausted
its strength, and appears this morning as a
weak disturbance central in eastern Missouri

INTERVENTION INEVITABLE.

The American legation at Havana is
investigating rumors that rebel bands
will attemp to capture Havana before
the American forces land.
United States marines and sailors on
the warships of the island have been
under orders to be ready for a landing
since 2 p. m. yesterday
The rival faction in Cuba spent yester.
day in fruilless conferences in an effort
to agree on candidate for president and
avoid Intervention.
Secretary Taft mistrusts both the
moderates and the liberals and has com
pleted plans to occupy the island.
The Cuban Congress met yesterday
and asked President Palma to reconsider
his resignation, but he declined. The
body refused 10 reassemble to select a
successor to Palma.
Under the circumstances Secretary
Taft will order United States forces TO
make landing, probably today, and
declare a provisional government until
peace Is restored.
Wild rumOrs have reached the Ameri-
can Legation in Havana to the effect
that the rebels, seeing that Intervention
is certain today, and that last night was
their only chance of occupying the city,
are advancing upon Havana. United
States officers are investigating the mat
Ter, with the view of preventing the entry
of the rebels into the city, if such step
is contemplated.
fhe Governor of Santiago reports that
the rebels are organizing and concentrat-
irg in the vicinity OF the city ofGuanta-
namo. He also reports that the rebels
are collecting arms and horses. Bands
are repaired around Baracos, indicating
that the eastern province is more re-
bellious than hitherto.

Another Threat.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-Frssh alarm
has been caused among the occupants oil
the Winter Palace by the finding OF
mysterious note, believed to be a
threat against Premier Stolypin, on the
desk of the premier in the palace. ave
were eighteen" the note ran, zone,
Konoplianikovo (mesning Zenaide
Konoplianikovo, the assassin of General
MINI, and another Koslof, have been
executed, a third persisted in the eE-
plosion in your house. We are fifteen
now" The Interpretation placed on
the note is that the fifteen remsining
will be sufficient to dispose Of the pre-
mier. Retaliation tor the two execu-
tons also seems limited at. But the
greatest significance is attached to the
fact that the note was left in Premier
stolypiu's Office. This shows that the
terrorists are again within the Winter
Palace just as they are known to exist
in the palace at Peterhof. Until these
agents can be apprehended no one in
the palace will feel safe from attack at
any moment.

The Middleport, Ohio, Bank, pri'
vste institution, failed TO open its doors
yesterday. 1t is stated that a greater
portion of the deposits, amounting to
$ll5, 600, are missing. Most of the
depositors are poor people and their de-

ministry the lst of June, converted his
property into S8. 900 and entered the bank
as an equal partner with Fox, entirely
unaware Of its financial condition. He

SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT. %. 1906.

WHEN President Roosevelt on October
4th addresses his fellow citizens at
Harrisburg, upon the dedication of the
"bronze doors" Of the new capitol OF
Pennsylvania, he will have great OPP
portunity to advance the cause OF good
government. The time will be just about
month before the people of Pennsylvania
will be called upon to decide between
the Irregular" republicans and the Lin
coin reformers. The "bronze doors
will record for ages the most corrupt
aud degraded government that free
people ever submitted to, fer the ring
leader is embossed thereon in enduring
bronze. President Roosevelt can hardly
endorse the late Senator Quay, or his
audacious methods, but will he have the
courage to denounce Penro5e, the success
sor of Quay, and endorse thecsuse OF the
people, who through the reform organi-
cation known as the Lincoln republicans,
are trying towipe out the stain and corrup'
ton of political bOssism2 1t will be a
crucial test of how much the real reform
spirit animates Mr.. Roosevelt and how
greatly his mind is bent on yivifying re-
form efforts in others. The issue is plain
On the one side is the old Quay organi'
zation, now headed by Senator PenroSe
aud still backed by the corrupt trusts
and corporations that have 81 long doml-
mated Pennsylvania, on the other hand
are the plain people-the reformers and
the democrats, striving to overthrow
corruption and grating and laying aside
political partisanship to attain that much
desired end. 1t is great opportunity
for President Roosevelt and he will have
the undivided attention of all his fellow
citizens, everywhere, who are lighting
for real reform and who trust to find
him Internationally recorded on the
side of decency and Righteousness.
