though President Roosevelt might use

THREE BATTLESHlPS
MAY GO TO HAVANA
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Sept 16-Gt was an
nounced at the Navy department to-
night that the battleships Louisiana,
Virginia and New Jersey have been
ordered down the Atlantic coast on Il
shake down cruise and that they have
been directed to keep i'm touch with
governmental Washington by wireless
telegraph. and If necessary in the event
of an emergency arising, they will be
sent to Havana.
1t was also stated that the cruisers
Tacoma and the Cleveland have sailed
from Norfolk, Va, and that the
cruisers Minneapolis and Newark will
follow them.
The Minneapolis and Newark carry
about 700 men altogether and the Ia
coma $50. Should all these vessels go
to Havana the navy would be able to
land a force of 1000 men in Cuba by
Wednesday or Thursday, If any de-
velopments should cccur rendering such
action necessary.
Final instructions will be given the
Cleveland and other vessels when they
reach Key West. The Cleveland's sail
ing from the Norfolk yard occurred
yesterday, while the Tacoma left there
today.
The Louisiana and Virginia left New
port yesterday, after hurriedly coaling.
The New Jersey sailed from Boston.

BIG CRUISERS START
TOWARD CUBAN PORTS
BY Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept 1G. - Two
cruisers from the Norfolk navy yard
with several hundred men, in addition
to drafts of marines from Boston and
I ague Island, passed out Of the Vir-
ginia capes today en- route to Cuba.
They were the cruisers Cleveland and
Tacoma.
The Cleveland left the navy yard
yesterday and dropped anchor i'm
Hampton Roads to await the departure
of the cruiser Tacoma. The Tacoma left
the navy yard at o'clock this morning
and passed out OF the capes at this
evening. The Cleveland went out at 2
o'clock
Because of the terrific northea st
storm ON this coast and the thick fogs
at the capes the observer at Cape
Henry was unable TO get the names of
these two cruisers as they steamed out
to sea. The wind at the capes was
blowing thirty miles an hour from the
northeast and there was heavy sea on.
A draft of marines from League
island arrived here this morning and
were assigned to the Tacoma. Two
hours later the cruiser was steaming
out of tl.is harbor for Cuba. A draft
of marines from Boston also arrived to-
day and were assigned to join the men
on the cruiser Newark, which Is still
at this yard, but making every prepara-
| tion for an early departure.

come insurgents. The cessation Of hos
tlities has checked such talk alto
gether.
The new situation was received al
the hotels and clubs with blank sur
prise.
Here il was considered that the ar
ranging of peace without the guar
antes OF the United States behind II
would be an unwelcome outcome, I;
being feared that the future tranquil
lily OF the island would not be assured
Since the publication of President
Rooseve1t's letter here it has been ex-
pected that the United States would
be a strong factor in arranging for
Cuba some better form of government
and a reduction In tariffs which would
bring the cost of living to a reasonable
basis.
Although the opinion on the subject
is very vague tonight, the general
conviction seems to prevail that Sec
retary Taft will take a friendly hand
In the negotiations for peace.
No other encounter than that result
ing from the capture of Gunajay was
reported here today.
Vice President Mendes Capote said
tonight that nothing as yet had been
decided on which to base peace nego-
tiations. He said by the time of the
arrival OF Secretary Taft it was hoped
that a permanent adjustment OF the
difficulties would be arranged and
ready for Mr. Taft's approval
Much doubt is expressed as to
whether the rebels will accept peace
proposals which do not include cleo
tions for places of senator's and con-
gressmen elected last December.

OIlZ IS SATISFIED
WITH CONDITIONS
AUTUMN SESSION OF MEXICAN
CONGRESS- OPENS
President Declares There Is No Dam
ger OF Conflict With Any
of the Civilized
Nations
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. Sept 16.-President
Diaz opened the autumn session OF
congress tonight in the presence of
senators and deputies and a brilliant
audience.
lie said in his message that with al
most all civilized nations Mexico was
on the most friendly terms, while with
no nation was any question existing
which even remotely threatened con-
fict.
The long discussed question of an
international dam in order to insure an
equitable distribution of water between
factors of the Rio Grande has taken
satisfactory form in a treaty signed
at Washington. This treaty will be
submitted to the Mexican senators for
ratification.
Respecting the labor riot at Cananea
in June the president said it began as
labor movement, degenerating quick
ly into grave perturbation of public
order. Fortunately it was quickly sup
pressed, thus avoiding what might
have been very serious consequences.
The president also took up the re-
cent labor strikes, principally that
which occurred on the Mexican Cen
trail railway.
The strike was limited to the men
leaving their work in the shops with
a view to obtaining certain conces-
Sions from the company. AS they are
clearly in their right the authorities
respected it and official effort was
limited to preventing any breach of
the peace. The executive expects on
the part of both capitalist and work.
ingmen due regard for each others
rights.
The finances of the nation are in a
most satisfactory condition. The total
revenues of the federation in the fiscal
year were more than S101, 900.
There will be a substantial surplus
when accounts are made up to be ap-
piled to port work at Salina Cruz and
Coatzacoalcos.
The president notes with satisfac-
tion the entire success of the gold
standard. There has been coined and
is now in circulation gold money to
the value of $49,000 900, while the none
cary commission still has gold on hand
to the amount of $16,000,00O yet to be
coined. The gold standard has been
attained without any sacrifices hav-
ing been needed on the part Of the ma
tion.
In line of material progress the re
suits achieved are amply demonstrated
by statistics and show conclusvely an
astonishing movement on every line
of business activity, confirming the be-
lief that the country has fully entered
on a brilliant period of progress.

OF the Chinese desire for western prog
ress is found in the recent imperial de-
cree attemi ing to establish the Chris
tian Sabbath.
The decree makes the Sabbath day a
legal holiday. 1t is not probable that
the decree will be largely followed
throughout China, aS indeed Il is not
probable that Chang Chih Tung's de-
cree in regard to the New Testament
will be largely observed. These de-
crees, however, show the aspirations OF
the Crl lese for western civilization.
Some American and English officials,
and indeed some Of the missionaries
here, are convinced that unless western
influences are swiftly and strongly re-
inforced the present movement may re-
suit In a reaction which will indefinitely
delay the emergence Of the Chinese into
modern civilization.

nence a.d high quality OF Chinese civ
ilization is due to the fact that the
Confucian classics have been taught In
China for over two thousand years.
The viceroy admits, however, that
western nations have some power which
the Chinese do not possess. He is sure
that this is not due to any superiority
of the westerner over the Chinese, but
to the fact that the western nations
have in their possession certain teach
ings which the Chinese have not yet
mastered.
