YOUNG MEN FOR WAR.
War Department Preparing for Possible
Need of Army in Cuba.

Washington, Sept. 10 Young
officers for command in Cuba in
case the army IS sent there, has
practically been decided upon by
the War Department authorities.
General Frederick Funston proba
bly, will be IN command and his
chief ]ieutenants are likely to be
Brigadier Generals Thomas S.
Barry and William P. Duvall.
These two officers have recently
completed an inspection of the
German manu9vres in Europe
and have notified the War Depart
mer4 that they intend to sail for
this country on Sept. 20, but owing
to the acute situation in Cuba
they have been advised that their
presence in this country at an
earlier date will be- desirable.
Preparations are going forward to
meet any emergency that may
arise in case the reconciliation of
the varring elements in Cuba CAM
not BE accomplished.
While the State department. has
been informed unoffi ;iafly of the
arrival at Havana today of Secre-
tary Taft and Assistant Secretary
of State Bacon, no official advices
had been received at the Depart
ment up to the hour of closing.
1t is said at the State Depart
ment to be unlikely that either
Secretary Taft or Mr.. Bacon would
communicate with the Depart
ment on matters relating to their
mission in Cuba. Whatever they
may have to communicate will be
sent direct to President Roosevelt,
as they constitute special presi-
dentisl mission which is quite
independent of the Department
Of State,
Of course, any complaints e.
ceived by the State Department
of the destruction or imperiling
of American interests will go
through the usual diplomatic
channels and not through the
presidential mission.

In statement made to the
Post by &. G. Gregory, Esq, of
Hedrick's counsel. he says:
"Several weeks ago Capt. He'd
rick learned that Whitaker was
seeking to violate and despoil his
home on Long street in Spencer,
and to wean his wife from him.
One day Hedrick returned home
from trip at an earlier hour than
he was expected and found Whit
saker there. He then warned
Whitaker never to come to his
home again and to cease atten-
tions to his wife. Whitaker at
that time roomed three doors dis.
tant on the same street. To get
away from him Hedrlck moved
his wife and his daughters to
Newton Heights which are on the
opposite side of Spencer from his
former residence. Whitaker fol-
lowed and secured room in the
neighborhood about three doors
off. He persisted in his atten-
tions and continued to pursue
Mrs. Hsdrick. Yesterday Capt.
Hedrick had made his run for the
Southern from Monroe, aid reach
ed his house about o'clock in
the afternoon. His wife was ab-
sent and his little girl informed
him that Whitaker had spent the
morning there with his wife, and
that her mother and Whitaker
had driven off together in bug
gy. Hedrick and his wife met
shortly afterwards, and went to
the store where tie tragedy oc-
curred.' -
