PRESIDENT TOASTS
GERMAN EMPEROR
PRESENTS ROOSEVELT CUP TO
SUCCESSFUL YACHTSMEN-HE
GOES ON RECORD AS A SUP
PORTER OF AMATEUR SPORTS.

Oyster Bay. N Y, September 14.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt placed himself on record
today as an esthusiastic supporter of
amateur sports. He also took occasion to
weld a new link of friendship between the
United States and Germany. doing this by
making the official presentation of the
Roosevelt cup to the American Yacht
club, the trophy which was won by the
yacht Vim of that club during the recent
international races off Marblehead, Mass.
in which several German boats competed
unsuccessfully.
The presentation was made on board the
Presidents flagship, the Maynower, after
which an elaborate luncheon was served.
In presenting the trophy the President
said that he wished to give his most
hearty endorsement to amateur sports of
all kinds.
The President commended the sports
manship of the Germans They had, ne
said. demonstrated that they could with
stand the supreme test of sportsmen they
could lose gracefully. While the Presi-
dent ongratuated the winning club most
heartily, he said there was note of re-
gret in his endorsement because the Ger
mans had lost.
Speaking more seriously, the President
said there was a side to the races just
run which meant far more to the Ger
man and American nations than the WIN
ming of the cup; that the sportsmauship
of two nations was being developed, Il
fraternal feeling which was most desirable
for the welfare of both countries
When luncheon was served. President
Roosevelt proposed a toast to the Emper-
or of Germany. This was responded to
later by Captain Hibbnghaus, one of the
German representatives, in a toast to the
President of the United States.
The German captain took occasion to
voice the cordial feeling he and his fell
low yachtmen felt for American amateur
soprtsmen. He said 1t had really been a
pleasure to lose. If that was to be their
fate, to so fair representatives of the
sport.
The toast concluded with three rousing
cheers for the President
After the luncheon Captain Weitzmann
of the German Yacht club. delivered to
the President a personal message he bore
from Emperor william, and from his
brother, Prince Henry of Prussia These
messages were not made public.

ference Is Held.

Oyster Bay, September 14-After a pro-
tracted conference with Secretary of War
Taft, Acting Secretary of State Bacon

President Roosevelt tonight addressed an
important communication to Cuba and
arranged to send Secretaries Taft and
Bacon to the island on Sunday to make
a thorough investigation of conditions
there. and lend their influence to restore
peace.
The communication is addressed to the
Cuban minister to the United States, Sc
nor Quesada. 1t is an impassioned plea
to Cuba to realize her responsibility as
self-governing republic and to restore
peace in the island. His attention Is called
in no uncertain language to the responsl-
bility which the United States bears 20
the island, and the certainty that such
responsibility will necessarily be eXer-
cised should peace not be preserved.
The President says he has certain in
formation that the peace of the island
is now menaced and that American prop
erty has been destroyed.
Secretaries Taft and Bacon will leave
for Cuba Sunday. They will go by rail
to Key West, Fla, and from there to
Havana on a naval vessel, probably the
cruiser Des Moines.
The conference which resulted In the
Cuban decision began at Sycamore Hill

conclusion Secretaries Taft Bonaparte

ficatlon of the missing men has not been

ed the fatal ride as the men took the
car without o-ders. The men when arst
seen in the yards were ordered off the
track by Yardmaster Thomas, but they
refused to obey him. On one of the bodies
was found a letter from Italy. 1t Is
thought that most of the men aboard the
