OIL REBATE CHARGE
ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL FOR
RAILROAD.

BUFFALO, N. Y, November 9.-In the
argument yesterday In the United States
district court on the demurrers of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroads to the indictments
charging them with collision with the
Standard Oil Company in the shipment Of
oil from Olean. N. Y, to Rutland, VT,
counsel for the New York Central road
contended that in carrying the oil from
Rochester to its terminal at Norwood 1t
was doing an intrastate business and not
an interstate business. and had not, there
fore, violated the interstate commerce
law.
The ultimate destination Of the shipment
or the point from which it started had
nothing to do with the case. He said that
the law did not require and could not re-
quire that In intrastate shipments the rail-
road should file schedule of rates with the
Interstate commerce commission. He said
that there was nothing to show that an
agreement had been entered into with the
Pennsylvania or other railroads in carrying
oil from Olean to Rutland via the Norwood
route.
Against Misleading Tariffs.
In reply counsel argued that shipments
from one state to another constituted in
terstate commerce. and that in carrying
such shipment. even II its share of 1t
was wholly in one state, the New York
Central was doing an interstate business.
They also said that the indictments alleged
facts to show that the Oil company and the
railroads were in collusion.
Counsel for the Pennsylvania railroad
said that simmered down the proposition
would be that a railroad company could
not Join in making different rates over diff
ferent lines between the same termini.
MY point" said United States Attorney
Brown, in reply. rs that you cannot publish
certain rate between the two points and
carry the same product over different routes
between the same points at different rates. -

Storage Battery Chr Test.

A new electric storage battery passen-
ger car, built for the Missouri and Kansas
City interurban railway, started last Sun
day from Philadelphia, under its own
power, for Kansas City. This car, which
was built by the Brill company of Phila-
delphia and the Strang gas electric of
Hoboken, is driven by storage batteries
fed by dynamos operated by gas engine.
1t is designed to run at an average speed
of fifty-fve miles an hour. The Chicago
and Alton has ordered six of them for sub
urban traffic, and fifteen are TO go TO Bra
gil. The car measures 80 feet 8 inches,
being a combination smoker and passen-
ger, with seating capacity for forty-two
people. 1t is expected that by using this
style Of car the cost of railroad construc-
ton may be reduced $4,000 a mile and the
operation in proportion.

Ohio LAW for Railway Trainmen
Declared Valid.

Captain Ira l.. Fredendall of the quar-
termaster's department was charged in
The court of first instance in Manila with
Incorporating public funds. The filing
of the charges is the elimination of extern
sive investigations by the insular authori-
ties into an alleged series of frauds per
petrated by members of the quartermas-
ter's department in the Philippines. The
inquiry resulted in the discovery of padded
pay rolls in the shops and grating in the
lease of lighters. Both officers and civil
ians are implicated and court-martials will
follow the court proceedings. Major Gen.
Wood continued the inquiry originally be
gun by Major Gen. Corbin. The result
of the investigation has been a great saw
ing in transportation funds and decrease
in graft, such as the manufacture of fur
niture in the shops for the private use
of officers and civilians. High officials in
the army and government are said TO have
been the benefciaries.

AMERICANS IN CUBA.
ARMED GUARD FROM U. S.
CRUISER IS LANDED.
Action Is Taken at the Request of
President Palma, Who Feared of
an Uprising in Havana-Troops TO
Guard American Interests.

President Palma, in moment of
panic Thursday, asked for the protec-
ton of American sailors and guns and
$50 men were landed from the cruiser
Denver. Commander Colwell Of the
Denver and Mr.. Sleeper, the American
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 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
large body started to march on Ha-
vana. Tie report was current that
Pine Guerra, at the head of 5000 men,
would eater the city and that the popu-
lation would rise almost as 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
been brought to standstili. There
were popular demonstrations every
where in favor of the revolution. Of
ficials were turning over towns to the
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
antee 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
well replied in the negative, but advised
the President to communicate with the
Washington government on the subject.
Hurry orders were issued to COM
manders of cruisers Newark, Tacoma
and Cleveland, at Norfolk, Va. to pre-

Admits Crisis Is Grave.
The decision to have a force of 2.0(
New paIIoon steerinr Device.

DR.. Julian P. Thomas, the New York
amateur aeronaut, appears to have added
another score to his record of scientific
achievement by the application of new
steering device in his recent night voyage
on the balloon "Nirvana" from New York
City TO Oakland Valley, n. Y. He had
adjusted a bicycle frame and pedals to
the basket so that by pedaling he could
revolve propeller at different angles. He
found that he could steer before the wind
at any desired slant, and that he could
raise or lower the balloon without throw
ing out ballast. This device worked well,
however, only up to a height of 800 feet,
as beyond that height the rareied air
made the work Of pedaling too exhausting
upon DR.. Thomas lungs. During the voy-
age he tested another new device for
determining the direction in fog by set
uing loose a number of toy balloons.

STORY OF cusA's STRIFE.
Present Conditions in the Island and
Causes Leading Thereto.

Causes Leading Thereto.
The present revolution in Cuba has set
the eyes of the world on that island and
the issues at stake are so important that
every American wants to know the basic
facts which have resulted in the present
crisis, says a writer in the New York
Times.
When Cuba was admitted into the fam
lily of nations it was on the understanding
that she should abstain from the custom
immemorial in Latin-American countries
of INDUCING in revolutions and revolts. 1t
was stipulated that she should 'be good -
also that she should decide by the rules
and regulations tacitly in force and effect
in nations, pretending to civilization. The
world did not take her unsupported word
for this pledge. The United States went
on her bond to keep the peace, and as
consequence there was inserted in the
treaty of Paris clause which is known
as "the Platt amendment" which gives
the United States government the right
to interfere in Cuban affairs at any time
when the peace and prosperity of Cuba
are threatened
In any consideration of this Cuban
problem-and the people of the United
States will have to consider it and settle
it, whether they wish to or not-there are
certain essential facts which must be kept
in mind.
In the first place, Cuba is too valuable
piece of property to be made a perpet-
ual battlefield. Not in all the world is
there within reach of speedy development
so matchless an area of territory awaiting
the application of labor tempted by
money. Cuba has tillable area almost
if not quite equal to that of Java-Cuba
has a scattered population of perhaps
!, 10000, Java supports a swarm of near
" 100000. Cuba is inevitably destined
to become the agricultural Golconda of
the earth, and from her exhaustless soil

look to the United States for the protec-

The causes underlying the present re-
volt in Cuba are various. IN the first
place, her people are not immune from
that prediction of all Latin-American
countries which makes them prefer an
appeal to arms rather than recourse to
the peaceful arbitration of the ballot box.
In the second place, too many of the
male inhabitants of Cuba Of voting age
desire to hold political or military POI
sitions, and there are not, and never
will be, enough paying positions to go
around.
In the third place, there are several
thousand men on the island who have
been engaged in wars since they were
boys, and who do not know how to do
anything else and who do not care to
learn.
Ever since Columbus discovered Cuba
it has been a battlefield. For $50 years
prior to the Spanish-American war the
native Cubans and the negroes were
at almost constant warfare against the
Spanish authorities. Time and again,
until the record is tiresome, the island
mills were burned, tobacco plantations
laid waste, and the land marked with
ruin from Capes Maisi to San Antonio.
Yet such was the natural productivity
of the soil that fortunes were made in
the intervals of peace, and billions of
wealth poured into Spain from the land
it misgoverned. Our war with Spain
was waged to the purpose that the long
era of oppression, bloodshed and law
lessness should forever end In order
that we might be acquitted of any ma
tional ambition of new territory, we
freely permitted Cuba to attempt the
task and to assume the responsibilities
of self-government.
1t is probably true that there was
sharp practice and open fraud in the
last national election in Cuba. There
is good reason to believe that Presi-
dent Palma of the Moderates is not
the choice of the majority of the quail
fed voters of the new republic, but it is
equally certain that an armed revolt
would have followed the election of any
Liberal candidate who might have been
named. There are scores OF complica-
tions and jealousies which enter into this
problem, but they ail tend to confirm the
one conclusion, and that is that the char
acter of the Cuban population is such as
to render the continued experiment of
national self-government too hazardous
to be tolerated by the United States.
This is not the language of diplomacy,
but it expresses a truth which will be
recognized sooner or later
The Cuban Congress met in extraordi-
nary session Friday; bills prepared au-
thorize Palma to use $25,00O,0OO to sup
Iress the instruction and permit him
to suppress newspapers and deport for
eigners. Troops are being drawn into
Havana in expectation of rebel attack.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1906-09-25

there will be taken riches beyond the pres
ent widest of estimates. Nor is this all.
Havana, Matanzas and other beautiful
cities are destined to become places of
winter residence for tens of thousands of
our citizens who can afford to escape
from the discomforts and dangers of our
northern climate.
The second reason is associated with
the one just given. The development of
Cuba will be the result of the investment
of American money in undertakings which
will be executed by the application of
American genius, skill and labor. Native
Cubans ard Spaniards will share in this
work, and citizens of Canada. England
and other countries viii flock to this CEN
ter of activity, but American enterprise
will bear the brunt of the task and will
reap the bulk of the rewards American
capitalists invested in Cuba on the
strength of the Plat amendment, and they
