expression of belief in Washington.
While 1t is not the purpose of the
United States government, for the
present at least, to do anything which
could actually be construed as inter-
vening in Cuba, 1t is nevertheless, re-
garded as fact that the action Of
the government in sending force Of
marines to Havana will be used by the
Palma partisans to Impress the insur-
gents with the belief that President
Palma has both the moral and phys
zeal support of the United States.
To Protect American Interests.
The statement is emphasized by Of
ficials here that the landing Of ma
rines from United States warships
will be merely for the purpose of af-
fording protection to American lives
and property when 1t becomes APP
parent, as 1T did to Commander Col
well of the cruiser Denver, that the
Cuban government Is unable to af-
ford the required protection. While
such admission is a confession of
weakness on the part of the Cuban
government, 1t will nevertheless,
doubtless have the effect at least of
deferring an attack upon Havana.
No Criticism for CoIwelI.
There is no disposition to criticise
the action Of Commander Colwell In
landing force In Havana. He acted
under the broad instruction given
him by the navy department to use
his best judgment In an emergency.
The American sailors were landed
after consultation with Jacob Sleep
er. the United States charge in Ha-
vana, and President Palma, who, &C.

patch to the navy department, ex.
pressed grave doubts as to the ability
of the Cuban government to protect
American interests.
To Observe Neutrality.

out, was In keeping with the presi
dents determination to preserve strict

decision At present, they point out,
they are simply in the preparations
being made to send men to Cuba,
carrying out the presidents instruc-
tons, for the purpose Of protecting
American interests.
Plead for Intervention.
Letters, kilograms and cablegrams
are pouring into the state department
by the scores asking that the United
States intervene in Cuba, protect lives
and property, and put an end to the
revolution. Thus far all Of these re-
quests come from private individuals,
those who have large property inter-
ests in the island chiefly, but so far
no request for Intervention has come
from the representative of any foreign
government, despite the fact, as re-
ported, that British and Canadian cap
italists are largely interested in the
railroads which have been destroyed
or damaged.
The president is being advised of
these requests, and they are being
given attention by the state depart
ment, but none of the correspondents
have been led to believe by the ma
ture of the replies sent to them that
1t Is the intention Of this government,
for the present at least, to step in and
manage Cuba's affairs. They have
been told that this government Is
making every possible effort to pro-
tect the lives and property of its sub
jects. Dlplomatically, these steps are
the same as would be taken in any
case where American interests were
jeopardized in foreign land and the
government Of that country appeared
to be unable to give the required pro-
lection.

THE STORY.

THERE lay the people amidst the
heaps of quail, where they had
fallen from mere exhaustion after two
days and night spent In killing and
dressing the birds which had so mi
raculously flown in upon the camp.
Moses turned away from the sight,
disgust and sorrow struggling for the
mastery. Could this be Gods people? ?
Were they the children of Abraham,
journeying towards land of promise?
or were they beasts of the field with
never a thought that went higher than
their stomachs and the food with
which to fill them?
Three days before the murmuring
in the camp had reached its climax.
A large part Of the people had spoken
bitterly of the mama which God had
SO faithfully provided for their needs
every morning, saying that they could
not eat 1t longer, and refusing to go
out and gather the portion for that
day. And God had heard the com
planning and had driven in upon the
camp great multitudes Of quail, SO
that the people forgot all else In their
mad haste to gather. gather, gather.
lest, as they said. they should not
have enough; not stopping to think
that the God who sent the birds upon
them could keep them supplied. But
no, all else was forgotten In their
gluttonous eagerness. All that first
day and that night and the next day
following, with scarcely rest, the
men stood up and gathered the quail
in great heaps, while the women and
the children worked with equal zeal
in dressing and sailing down the birds
after the manner Of preparing fish in
Egypt. And at last when almost
the last bird had been captured and
darkness had again settled down upon
the camp, the people utterly exhaust.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Friday night addressed
to the Cuban people what practically
Is an ultimatum.
He declared that permanent peace
must at once be arranged in the island
or else the United States will inter
vene by armed force under the author
ity of the Plat amendment.
THIS was its obvious and clear cut
intent of a letter automatically ad-
dressed to Senior Quesada, the Cuban
minister, who is now in Lisbon, but
which, the president In the body of the
letter states, really is intended for the
Cuban government and the Cuban
people. In accordance with this spe-
cific purpose the president says has
directed the letters immediate pub

Order Must Be Maintained.
President Roosevelt declares in this
letter that the present Cuban govern
ment, by its own acts and admissions
has proven itself incapable Of main
tanning order throughout the island. It
has failed to protect the lives and
property either of it's own citizens or
foreign residents of the islands.
This condition of anarchy, the presi-
dent insists. must end. The present
civil war must cease and arrange

Washington.-The presidents deci-

Cuba was not unexpected, although
official and diplomatic circles recog-
nize in it move calculated to hasten
the solution of the problem.
The real object of Secretary Taft's
mission to Cuba, of course, cannot be
explained by anyone in Washington.
In official circles, however, the belief
Is expressed that President Roosevelt
desires to secure from absolutely de-

sERMoNETTE.

This experience of tho chill
dren Of Israel In the wilder
ness prefigures the experience
which often comes to the Chris
tian. At Gods call he has de-
parted from Egypt, even az To-
raeI left Egypt, but somewhere
on the journey the memory OF
the induIgences of the past, the
alIurements Of the world, draw
the soul away from God, and II
falls to Iustlng for the ole life
and the old induIgences. But
az Paul says In I Cor. 1876, In re-
ferring to the Incident: "Now
these things were our example
to the intent we should not lust
after evil things, as they (the
children Of lsraell also lusted."
The Christian must also rec
ognize the fact that that which
the flesh desires Is often un-
wholesome for the soul. "For
the flesh iusteth against the
Spirit and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary
tho one to the other: so that
ye cannot do the things that ye
would."-Gal. 5:17.
But how often does tho
Christian fall into the snare Of
the devil, how often does he per-
nit the love of the world and
the things Of the world to draw
him away from Goo. He falls
to iusting for the fleshpots Of
Egypt, and turns from Gods
mamma, so graciousIy provided.
And then perhaps the heart 10
so set upon it's way of evil that
at last God gives the soul up
to its passions and lust, even
as when "Israel Iusted exceed
IngIy In the wilderness and
tempted God In the desert, he
gave them their request; but
sent Ieanness into their souls"
Sad indeed is the condition
of that soul which barters
Gods mama for the flesh pots
of the world.
There is many lean soul
smothered out of sight under a
full stomach.
He who feeds the lust of the
flesh starves the soul.
The only way some souls will
learn the folly Of sin Is by
reaping It's dire consequences.
Unbridled indulgence Of an
appetite will result disastrousIy.
Hunger was not the incen-
tive to murmurlng and discon-
tent, for Israel had Gods
mama, given fresh every day,
but II was the result Of yield
ing to the fieshly desires. And
It is so with the Christian, for
love Of the world and the things

How did it happen, the unexpected
termination of the marshalship fight
last night, and in what shape is it
going to leave the council? This is
subject upon which there has been
considerable discussion today, and in
which opinions have been freely ex-
pressed.
That the retention of Marshal Coff-
man in office was not the doings OF
the Kinsella men, or of the republican
leaders who are his hackers, is GER
tain. Evidently it was their opinion,
at least until a short time before the
meeting, that Councilman Ferguson
was to be with them. Also indications
are all to the effect that they still had
hopes of him when the vote was or
dered. According to one councilman,
Mr.. Ferguson was with the Kinsella
men up to yesterday and evidently
changed his mind sine time during
the day.
Just previous to the meeting last
night there was a noticeable activity
on the part of several republican
leaders. That the Wilson men were
also holding caucus before the meet
ing, was indicated when Messrs. MUIR
ply, Swearingen, Mccormack and
Ell came down Court street together
and proceeded to the council room in
body
However, since the vote was taken
which retained Mr.. Coffman in office,
there is apparent satisfaction on all
sides, and just now at least it looks as
though he would continue indefinitely.
Several councilmen who were seen to-
day all expressed doubts of anyone
else being selected soon unless affairs
! should take different turn in the flu
ture.
But while the fight. is over for the
present, it is plain to be seen that all
is not yet harmonious in the ranks of
the city fathers, and the fires of inter-
nal trouble may yet blaze up. When
asked as to his feelings in the matter.
Councilman Hinkle this morning
plainly said that he no longer consid-
ers the promises of his associates at
par value. Among other things he
said:
when, at the invitation of Mayor
Fee, / went into caucus along with
the other councilmen, l believed that
everything was to be done in conf
dence, and that the decisions reached
would be binding. However, 1 have
since learned that the promises made
at that time meant nothing. At least
that has been true with reference to
the marshalship, and 1 am of the
opinion that the same value may be
placed upon the agreement which was
made regarding the suppression of
gambling. At that time the sentiment
| expressed was all in favor of a COM
plete suppression of the same. Also.
it is probable that the agreement to
push street improvement will be re-
garded by some of the councilmen in
the same light as the decision upon
the marshalship.
The consistency with which Coun-
cilmen Rem, Mumm and myself stood
by Mr.. Kinsella was due to the fact
that We regarded the caucus agree
ment as binding upon us"
In conclusion, Mr.. Hnkle grew sat-
irical and said: II would suggest
that frequent private sessions be held
by the council as they seem to be
very productive of peace and harmo-
ny. However, after this l am going
into caucus with closed visor and my
props out ready for war"
