Root May Go to Havana.
Dispatches were received at the Navy
Department this morning announcing the
departure of the cruiser Charleston from
Callao, Peru, last night for Panama and the
arrival at Colon yesterday of the cruiser
Columbia from Guantanamo. Secretary
Root and family are aboard the Charleston,
having made a cruise around South Amer
lea If present plans are not changed they
will leave the Charleston at Panama and
cross the isthmus to Colon. where they VIII
embark for home on the Columbia Ii mas
been intimated that Secretary Root m gnt
conclude to continue his cruise on the
Charleston to San~Francisco and return to
Washington overland. but in view OF the
critical Situat ton IN CuDa IL IS tlIlOSt GER
Ptain that he will follow the quicker route
by way of the Gulf of Mexico.
The Columbia was sent to Colon tor the
express purpose of bringing Secretary Root
and party back to the United States and 1t
is now believed that that vessel will be
used in taking Secretary Root to Havana In
order that he may assist Secretary Taft and
Assistant Secretary Bacon in re-establishing
the Cuban republic on stable and perma-
nent basis. unless that happy. consumma-
ton has been reached before the possible
arrival OF the SI retary Of State. In his
letter TO Minister Quesada announcing the
appointment of Secretary, TAFT and Assist
ant Secretary Bacon as the Cuban peace
commissioners, the President said he
hoped that Secretary Root could have stop
ped in Havana Oh his return from South
America in time to have been associated
with the American mission to secure the
permanent pacification of the island, but
that the seeming imminence of the crisis
forbade further delay in his action.
1t is therefore probable, if the matter Is
not settled in the meantime, that Secretary
Root will join his colleagues in Havana and
add the weight of his influence to the pa
cific settlement of the existing political
troubles According to present calculation
Secretary Root should arrive a. Colon about
the 2lth instant, and would be able to make
the trip to Havana on the swift Columbia
in few days.

WRESTLING AND cLINcHING.
Bout Between Eddie Chambers and Joe
Gregg.
Special Dispatch TO The Star

Special Dispatch 10 Ihe staf
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September IT,
There was more wrestling and clinchinG
than actual fighting in the Eddie Chambers
Joe Gregg bout at the National Athletic
Club Saturday night. Gregg, who is a full.
blooded Indian from Arizona, saw early In
the first round that Chambers advantage
of height and reach would be hard to over
come and promptly cut out all fancy capers.
From start to finish Chambers had the
better of long-range work, while Gregg
managed to even up matters at infghting.
Gregg continually fought to get in close,
where he either assaulted Eddie's stomach
or else pounded his back in vicious style.
Chambers did pretty work with his straight
lefts and shook up Gregg more than once
with fierce uppercuts with his right There
was little to the first two rounds, owing to
the almost continual clinching. Early in
the third round Gregg sent a short right
uppercut to Chambers jaw, followed by a
right swing to Eddie's mouth. Eddie came
back hard, and they mixed 1t up in lively
style. Gregg twice rushed Chambers to
the ropes in the fourth round and kept
both hands working on Eddie's body.
In the fifth round Chambers forced Gregg
with left swing on the jaw. Chambers
held the Indian of for awhile In the last
round, but he continued to bore in and
some lively work was witnessed. At the
finish both were strong.

GIBRALTAR, September 17.-Rear Ad-

here this morning Of pneumonia, after an
Illness Of few days. Sir Edwards wife

Rear Admiral Chichester was chief of the
sea transport service during the South

to South Africa won him great praise.
1t was Sir Edward Chichester who, ac-
lcording to report, stood by the Americans
in Manila bay at. a time when friction be-
tween Admiral Dewey and the German
commander seemed likely to lead to serious
consequences.

with the spirit of his Saturday letter to the

Lucha.
After meeting Gen. Menocal and other
leading veterans and friends of peace, all OF
whom expressed their satisfaction with the
plan, Zayas went to Isnaga's house, to wait
there for Secretary Montalvo, who had been
fully empowered by President Palma to
treat with him.
Previous to this Montalvo went to the
state prison and conferred with the alleged
leaders of the revolution who are confined
there. They all agreed that after Presi-
dent Roosevelts letter peace was necessary,
and that it was urgent that the basis OF an
angement for peace should be ready be-
fore the arrival of Secretary Taft.
Secretary Montalvo says that Iznaga and
Senator Zayas and brother met him at
O clock this morning. Montalvo and Zayas
embraced and promised to do what they
could to bring about definite arrange
ment.
The liberals will accept Palma as presi-
dent. but now the question is how far the
moderates viii! go in making concessions.
The liberals insist that the elections shall be
annulled. The noderates are willing to
grant a partial annulment, new elections to
take place for the minority only. AS to the
reform of the electoral and municipal laws
and all measures for preventing further dis
tu~bances both sides agree Yet no under
standing will be reached without consulta-
tion with the insurgent leaders in the field.
Commissioners from Senator Zayas were
hastily dispatched to these rebel leaders.

Thus Delgados' forces escaped exter-

Other commissioners went to Guanajay,
where the government troops had suf-
fered sore defeat, in spite of q desperate
resistance. They are intrenched in the
church for final stand.
1t Is not yet known whether the rebel
leaders will come to Havana or empower
Zayas to negotiate on their behalf. Prob
ably they will take the latter step.
The leading men of both parties who
favor the permanent Intervention of the
United States met last night and dis
cussed the situation. They agreed to pros
pose to Secretary Taft that President
Roosevelt appoint an American resident
delegate in Havana for ten years, with
full power to enforce any arrangements
that may be made now.

"our baby had that dreadful com
