PALMA HEEDs THE WARNING.
His Final Effort To Restore Peace In
Cuba.

Havana (SpeciaD - The govern
ment Sunday evening is making final
strenuous efforts to restore peace in
Cuba and thus avoid any kind of
American intervention. The object
of these endeavors, it is stated, IS
that it may be able to say by the
time Secretary of War Taft and Act
ing Assistant Secretary of State Ba-
con arrive that peace has already
been secured. and that, therefore,
there is no need for the American
governments Intervention, either TO
restore peace or insure permanent
tranquility.
Members of the government say
that they are making the efforts in
accordance with the advice contained
in President ROOsevelt's letter; that
they have no objection to the friend
ly assistance of the United States in
the matter if it becomes necessary,
but that they believe they can settle
1t between the government and the
revolutionists without the necessity
of any Intervention. At least, they
say, they are making an attempt to
accomplish this end unaided, and
with fair prospects of success.
This is the latest phase of a rapidly
changing situation that developed late
Sunday afternoon, when an extra
ordinary gazette was issued contain
ing a decree signed by President
Palma on the recommendation of the
secretary of public works, Montalvo.
Palma's Decree.
The decree follows:
"All campaign operations are sus-
pended, and in consequence the gov
ernment forces will act only on the
defensive throughout the republic.
The secretary of the interior will is
sue all the necessary orders for the
execution of this decree"

BLOODYING THE HUNTER

A correspondent of the London
Field, who participated in an Aus
trian deer stalking expedition. re-
lates this incident following the hunt:
Before going to the house the
keeper handed me 'Bruch. a twig
off the nearest pine, which he first
smeared in the wound. and / put It
in my hat, as a victor puts laurels
around his head. This is an old
established custom, the origin of
which is unknown.
when l returned it was already
dark. On looking at the hats on the
rack, l saw that three OF the party
had been successful. One of them,
l found, had never killed stag be-
fore, and had therefore to be what is
in Scotland called 'blooded.' This
ceremony was performed next day in
the following manner. The whole
party assembled at the front of the
house; the victim was marched up to-
where his stag was lying, solemnly
escorted by the keepers. He had To-
kneel down over the PROSTATE body
of the fallen monarch OF the glen.'

the hostess struck him three times
across the shoulders, saying, Der

Knecht, Der Dritte Stretch fur's

of this is The first stroke for En-
peror and Empire, the second for
knight and Serf, and the third for
the Sportsman privilege. From
this day onward the victim could
hold up his head among sportsmNf

Oyster Bay, n. Y, (SpeciaD Al
ter a protracted conference with Sec
retary of War Taft, Acting Secretary
of State Bacon and Secretary Of the
Navy Bonaparte, President Roose-
welt addressed an important cOmmu-
nication to Cuba and arranged to
send Secretaries Taft and Bacon to
that island on Sunday to make a
thorough investigation of the cOndi-
tions there and lend their influence
to restore peace.
The communication is addressed
to the Cuban Minister to the United
states, Senator Quesada 1t is an
impassiOned plea to Cuba to realize
her responsibility as a self-governing
republic and to restore peace in the
island. Her attention is called in no
uncertain language to the RESPONSE
bility which the United States bears
to the island, and the certainty that
such responsibility will necessarily
be exercised should peace not be pre-
served.
The President says he has certain
information that the peace of the
island is now menaced, and that
American property has been de-
StrOyed.
The Presidents Letter.
The Presidents letter to Senior
Quesada follows:
Oyster Bay, n. Y, Sept. IA, 1906.
My Dear Quesada:
In this crisis in the affairs of the
Republic of Cuba | write YOU. not
merely because you are the min
lster OF Cuba accredited to this gov
crnment. but because you and ! were
intimately drawn together at the
time when the United States inter
vened in the affairs of Cuba with
the result of making her an indie
pendent nation. You know how sin
cere my affection and admiration and
regard for Cuba are.
You know that | never have done
and never shall do anything in refer
ence to Cuba save with such sincere
regard for her welfare. You also
know the pride felt because it came
10 me as President to withdraw the
American troops from the Island of
Cuba and officially to. proclaim her
independence and to wish her god
speed in her career as a free republic.
/ desire now through you to say
word of solemn warning to your
PNOpiNs NlAOSt earnest WelI WlSnGT i
am. For seven years Cuba has been
in condition of profound peace and
Of steadily growing prosperity. For
four years this peace and prosperity
have obtained under her own inde-
pendent government.
Her peace, prosperity and indie
pendence are now menaced, for of
all possible evils that can befall Cuba
the worst is the evil of anarchy into
which civil war and revolutionary
disturbances will aSsuredly throw
her. Whoever is responsible for
armed revolution and outrages, who
ever is responsible in any way for
the condition of the affairs that now
obtains, is an enemy of Cuba, and
dOubly heavy is the responsibility of
the man who, affecting to be the es-
pecial champion of Cuban independ-
ence, takes any step which will jeo-
pardize that Independence. For there
is just one way in which Cuban in
dependence can be secured, and that
IS for the Cuban people to show their
ability to continue in their path of
peaceful and orderly progress.
This nation asks nothing of Cuba
save that it shall continue to develop
as it has developed during the past
seven years; that it shall know and
practice the orderly liberty which
will assuredly bring an ever-increas-
