Chicago, Sept. 2s.-Judge Kersten
today sentenced Paul o. Stensland,
president of the wrecked milwaukee,
Avenue State Bank, to an indetermin-
ate term in the Joliet penitentiary.
Stensland pleaded guilty to two in-
dictments both charging embezzle-
ment. The maximum penalty under
the law, is fourteen years.
Stensland was taken to the privAta
office Of States Attorney Healy, and
an examination of the documents and
forged notes found on his person when
captured in Tangier, was begun. The
general impression prevails that Stems
land was inclined to plead guilty to
some counts in the indictments, in or
der to commence serving as soon as
possible his sentence in the peniten-
tiary.
Stensland, in charge Of Jailer Whit
man, left for Joliet this afternoon.

SUES CIRCUS FOR DAMAGES.
Former EmpIoye in Car With EIe.
plants When Train Was Wrecked.

Special to Times Republican.
Lake City, Sept. ga suit for $5,-
900 damages is bought against Coll
mar Brothers, circus owners, by j. H.
Sherman, of this place, formerly en-
ployed by them as an elephant train
er. The case will be tried in the Ida
county district court.
Sherman maintains that while en-
ployed by Gollmars he was caught in
a wreck of the circus train and was
seriously injured. Sherman was in a
car with five elephants when the crash
came, and this immense car was
thrown off the track and clear out Of
the railroad right of way. When the
car finally landed it split in two and
let the elephants out, but strange to
relate the trainer, who, went thru the
wreck with them, was not killed, and
none of the huge beasts were hurt.
It is maintained by Sherman, the
plaintiff, that he was permanently
injured in the wreck, and that as
Gollmars owned the circus train and
employed him he asks for $4,000 dam
ages.
The wreck in question was in In
diana while the Gollmars were trav-
cling thru that state in 1905.

HIGH WAGE LURES MARINES.
Unprecedented Wholesale Desertions
at Mare Island, CAL, Navy Yard.

at Mare Island, Cal, Navy Yaro.
Washington. Sept. 26.-Marines have
been deserting the barracks on Mare
Island, Cal, at a rate which has made
it necessary for Bfigadier General
q. F. Elliot. commanding the marine
corps, to detail a second lieutenant
and several experienced enlisted men
as a squad whose sole duty 1t is to
search San Francisco for des9rters
from the marine corps.
So great has been the demand for
laborers in San Francisco that repre-
sentatives of labor agencies have been
visiting Mare Island and urging the
marines to desert the service and en-
gage in work at San Francisco, where
able bodied men are paid as high as
IS a day for wheeling brick and NOR
tar and doing other work necessary
to clean the city of debris.
Appeals to the marine corps by the
San Francisco police were futile. me
policemen refused to arrest marines
who deserted the service and engaged
in work in San Francisco. Finally
the situation became so desperate that
the commandant at Mare Island ap-
pealed to General Elliot for assistance
and he authorized the creation of the
SQUAD which is patroling the city ana
picking up marine deserters.

thing in the nature of national, pro-

the outcome of the revolution. There
are rumors that he is reconsidering his
intention to resign. Nothing, however,
has developed in substantiation of the
report.
Following is the text of President
Palma's letter of yesterday to the Am
erican peace commissioners, announc-
ing that he intends to resign the presi-
dency. and refusing the peace terms Of
fered him: Honorable Sirs:-I have
the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your note of the 24th in which you ex-
press in a general way your opinions
and points of view, according to your
own personal investigation of the cause
of the present. rebellion in Cuba, ITS
state, and the means to finish it, in or
der to re-establish peace and order and
public quiet in this country. 1 could
raise some objections, and prove them,
to your estimate of the numbers OF
armed insurgents and the sympathy
to which you consider them entitled.
But it is useless now to enter upon
discussion of this Kind, in view of the
course you have adopted, and your res
olution to make peace by all means.
1t is therefore my only purpose, in
courteously replying to your note, to
repeat here in brief what 1 expressed
in the conference you kindly had with
me last night, namely, that consider
the conditions you understand to be
necessary for the rebels to lay down
their arms contrary to my personal
dignity and the prestige of the govern
ment over which 1 preside, and that
have accordingly taken the irrevocable
decision to present to congress my res
ignation of the office to which l was
by the will'of the Cuban peo-
pie at the last presidential election"
A communication from Taft and Ba-
con was taken to the palace shortly af-
ter noon. 1t is. understood to contain
an urgent appeal to the patriotism of
Palma to reconsider his resignation
and cooperate with the American
peace commissioners. Many code cable.
messages are being exchanged between
Roosevelt and Taft.
