Hearings to Leaders of
Both Factions.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept 18.-Secre
tary Of War Taft and Assistant Sec
rotary of State Bacon will probabl!
not reach Havana before noon Wed
nesday. The train bearing the Wash
ington party to Port Tampa passed
through here four hours late. Upor
reaching Havana Secretaries Taft
and Bacon will be taken by United
States Minister Morgan to his home
at Marianao, a suburban resort on
the shore, about ten miles from Ha'
vana. A small detachment Of the To-
cation guard will be sent to Marianao
from the cruiser Denver. It is be-
lieved by Secretary Taft that his par
ty will thereby enjoy greater free
dom in working out the policy Of the
government, involving the ending OF
the insurrection, than they would at
Havana hotel. While they will not
admit having formulated a pro-
gramme, Secretaries Taft and Bacon
are determined not TO become identi-
fled with the leaders of either of the
opposing forces until they have had
an opportunity 70 observe actual con-
ditions. OF course, 1t will be neces-
sary to return courtestes sure to be
extended by President Palma and
other officials of the existing admin
istration, but for the purpose of ar
irving at the causes of turmoil, inter
ests of non-politioal character will
be consulted. Hearings also viii be
given to leaders of both the govern
Aent and the revolutionary forces.
For the latter Minister Morgan's
house is regarded as ideal.
1t is generally agreed that Secre-
tary Of War Taft must be the eventual
arbiter and both in Cuban and foreign
business circles the hope is freely ex-
pressed that not only will the United
States settle the Present strife but
that the American government win re-
tain sufficient hold on Cuban affairs
to prevent a repetition Of the past
months experiences. A Cuban gun
boat went to Marfel Monday night to
bring to Havana q quantity of arms
and ammunition stored in the quaran-
tine station lest is fall into the hands
Of the insurgents.
Points Of special and present con-
sideration in the peace negotiations
are the fixing OF neural zone ana
camping places fcr the insurgent for.
ces and the supplying Of them wit
ic ], which It seems to be expecte
will have to be done by the govern

SAD END OF GEN. TREPoFF.
Was Scorned at Last by Those He
Had Served so Long.
Died Practically from Fright, Have
ing Received Death Sentence from
Revolutionary Committee.

Vienna, Sept. 18.-According to in
formation received by the Neues
Wiener ageblatt from "a iistin-
guished Russian authority" General
Trepoff at the council of Peternof,
August Is, remarked: I'VE have
made a fearful mistake in not nav
ing formed a cabinet representative
Of society,""
Emperor Nicholas, indignant at the
observation, avoided General Trepoff
henceforth. Later General Trepoff
presented the emperor with project
ne had elaborated respecting the sale
of the crown lands, but the emperor
coldly ordered him to hand 1t to Grand
Duke Nicholas, his bitterest enemy.
The grand duke after reading the
project remarked: ut is extraordin-
airy that you. have now become a lib
eral after the attempt to poison you
You are liberal from fear Of revolu-
ton, not from conviction"
General Trepoff took this treatment
to heart, coming from the hands Of
those to whom he had devoted his
entire life, and passed his last days
in the closest retirement, suffering
intensely from depression. Early on
the morning of September 10, General
Trepoff found on his writing table q
document, which he knew, as he
unfolded 1t was death sentence
from the revolutionary committee.
Greatly agitated, he was seized with
a cramp Of the heart and it was re-
currence Of this that eventually
caused his death.

STORM SWEPT THE COAST.
More Than zoo Persons Were Cut

Beach Near Wilmington N. G.

Wilmington, N. c., Sept. 1S.-For
six or eight hours upward of 200 men,
women and children were cut off from
the mainland In imminent peril while
the cottage, hotel and railroad proper
ty was damaged to the extent Of
ten thousand dollars by fierce north
east storm which swept Wrightsville
beach, nine miles east of Wilmington
Monday. The storm reached the zen
tn of Its fury between 6 and o'clock
Mnoday morning. Hundreds OF cot
tagers received their first intimation
If danger upon awakening Monday
morning to find breakers sweeping
clear across the beach to the sound
and rolling high UP on the mainland,
two miles beyond. Five trolley cars
brought a numhar Of Ga.Iy rlsers
across the sound On the testle by
which 1t Is reached, while tae waves
swept the trestle. Those left at the
beach were afraid to cross TIE trestle
mich gave way Immediately after the
asst car reached the mainland. The
torn increased until noon, waen the
escue work was begun.
Surf boats were sent across the
channel at great risk, bringing firs
tie women and children, then later
the men, the last Of the number be
ing brought over at 5 o'clock Monday |
afternoon. Sheriff Frank Steadman
vas among those caught at tie beach
and at once swore in number OF
deputies who closed the bar-rooms |
and patrolled the beach to prevent
coting of the places there. At Caro-
ina beach, further down the main
and, there was some damage to cot
ages, but the residents had left tSere
he day before on notice of falling
barometer. At Southport, at the
mouth Of the Cape Fear river, the
harbor craft had narrow escape
from the storm, several Of the passen-
ger boats being damaged.

TO enter HAVANA
Large Force Of Insurgents Propose
to Visit Capital, Fighting to
Do So If Necessary.
REVOLUTlONSTs HOPEFUL.
Peace Negotiations Have Not AS
sumed Definite Form and such :
Movements as Have Been Made
Are Largely Political.

Havana, Sept, 1S.-The only results
thus far Of President Palma's ordel
for the suspension of hostilities have
Z been that liberal leaders who hith
erto have had every reason for an
ticipating arrest, are circulating open
ly in Havana again and even con
ferring with members Of the govern
ment with regard to peace, and that
such Insurgents In the field as have
been consulted, while they express
themselves as agreeable to settling
matters amicably at the same time
assume an independent attitude
which can not be said to bode partic
ularly well for prompt settlement
Of existing difficulties.
In the meanwhile Cienfuegos is in
q state of siege, communication by
telegraph being severed not only In
the direction Of Havana but to San
tiago as well. 1t Is known that Glen
fuegos had not been attacked up to
midnight Sunday, but what has trans
pired since that time is not known
here. All accounts agree that there
easily are 5000 insurgents a few
miles southeast of Havana and rum,
ors are in circulation that they wiz
enter the city peaceably II they are
not molested, but they will fight a.
they meet with resistance. All visl
tors to Insurgents camps in Havana
province return with this impression,
but 1t Is believed no attempt will be
made against Havana until the arriv-
al Of Pine Guerras force, which is
variously reported to be from 20 to 40
miles distant. The general impress
sion Is that the presence in Havana
harbor Of the American cruiser Den
yer win not act as a deterrent to
such movement, the auxiliary crul-
ser Dixie having gone to Cienfuegos
and the cruiser Des Moines having
gone presumably to bring to Cuba

DECLINES TO RUN.
l.. M. Stevenson of Roanoke Is Not a
Candidate for Superintendent.

Roanoke, May Especial For some
time a strong pressure has been brought
to bear upon Prof Leon NJ. Stevenson Of
this county, at present superintendent
of the public schools of Dadeville, to Sc
cure his consent to enter the race for
superintendent of education of Alabama.
The friends of this trained young edu-
Gator claim for him preemnent fitness
for this important position, having had
a successful experience in all grades of
school work, and having served Randolph
county as superintendent four years with
marked ability. Assurances of support
came from influential men in all parts of
unit in urging him to make the race.
After due deliberation however, and
while fully approaching the confidence
manifested in him by his friends. Pro-
fessor Stevenson has declined to allow the
use of his name in this connection at
this time. The condition of his health OF
late does not justify an active summer
canvass of the state on his part.
While this decision may prove dis
appointment to many friends throughout
the state they will be interested to learn
that Professor Stevenson has accepted the
position of assistant editor of the Ala.
bama Christian Advocate, published In
Birmingham. He will begin his new duties
June /. Mr.. Stevenson has the distinc-
ton of being the first layman ever ele-
waited to this responsible position.
