Firemen are searching the deserted

There is reason to believe that this

murder of an official on August 81, and
the events of Saturday supplied the
necessary spark to infame the pas

supported by an article in the semi
official Russian newspaper published
in Warsaw, which attributes the rage
shown by the soldiers to this cause.
The excesses were aggravated. accord

New York, Sept. 13.-In a harmoni-

President Palma of Cuba

1t goes without saying that capable
leaders are none too numerous in Gu
ba. Even man of moderate talents
was bound to take an important place
in the councils of the new nation at
the time when Palma gained his foot
hold. AS he himself once remarked to
an interviewer: There were so few
strong men that anyone who stepped to
the front and assumed command of a
group of men was obliged to become
at least general, quickly" Yet the
career of the republics president and
his personality are of unusual inter-
est. Few, If any, of hiss countrymen
have passed through more varied ad-
ventures, served their cause SO con-
tinuously and steadfastly or displayed
the conservatism that has been his
distinguishing trait; none has met
with such success or won such popu-
larity.
President Palma was born in 1885
in the province of Bayamo, where his
father was rich land owner and cat
tie raiser. The boy had all the ad-
vantages money could give him. He
studied under a private teacher at
home and finally was sent to Spain to
SAASSA SAAS StI oCNAA0s AuOlO
he was graduated in the law. and it
was his intention to become barrist-
er in Cuba. That he was never to
achieve this ambition was due to the
spread of the revolutionary fury. His
return to the island was followed by
the ,mutterings that preceded the long
fight for liberty. His father died and
1t devolved upon the young man to
manage the estate. The war began.
The Spaniards, besides confiscating his
lands, captured his mother and brac-
tically tortured her to death.
"They tortured her in an effort to
extort from her information she did
not possess" he said in describing his
bereavement years afterward. "and
then they left her half dead in the
woods, where. after wandering for
days, she was rescued. too late to save
her life."
Casting his lot with the revolution

Washington, Sept 13.-Tomas Es-
Palma did not consider it eX
traOrdinary that he, a county school
master of New York state. should be
transformed suddenly into president
of the republic of Cuba. In his own
mind he had heen the legal possessor
OF the high title nearly thirty years
before he was installed on May 20,
1902. Had not the revolutionists for
mally elected him their leader between
skirmishes with the Spanish tyrants
in the Ten Years War? To his peace
full neighbors at Central Valley, where
he conducted his school for eighteen
years of the waiting period, he said
little, but the few who knew his his
tory had heard how he persisted in
claiming the Office even in the midst
Of his captivity in a Spanish fortress.
Il am president of the Cuban repub-
lic." he had said to his guards when
they demanded his Occupation" in the
course OF census at the battlemented
prison among the Pyrenees in 1878.
His election, therefore, after the
Spanish-American war. he looked upon
merely as restoration of his rights.
With no special elation, though with
the modesty that has always charact-
erized him, he leaped out of enforced
obscurity into the Havana palace
once occupied by the gay-lived cap
tains-general of Spain. AS if he had
been accustomed to the new position
in all the decades of retirement. he
went about the complex task of run
ming a government with as much ap-
parent confidence as he had shown
when he established private academy
to tide over his Punishment.
Whatever may be the weaknesses of
Tomas Estrada Palma, there is no lack
Of self-possession in his makeup. And
along with this quality he has skill at
organization and industry. That he
has combined personal modesty and
unfailing politeness with his mental
fitness for the Office has been. no doubt.
