Get Back to Chicago with
All Speed.

Fire island. - A steamer has
passed Fire Island, bound in, re-

lieved to be the Prinz Adalbert with
Banker Stensland aboard.
Will Make No Fight.
Theodore Stensland, son of the fugi-
tive banker, said he would make no
fight on extradition. He added that
his only wish in the matter was to
avoid all the publicity possible, and
agreed that the best plan was to get
his father aboard a train and on the
way to Chicago. This declaration fol-
lowed a letter received from Paul O.
Stensland, mailed Sept. r.
What the Father Wrote.
The father wrote that his wish was
to get back to Chicago with all speed.
He advised his son not to do anything
to delay the return and asked only
that his son and daughter meet and
greet him in New York. The daugh-
ter did not come to New York, as it
was believed inadvisable for the sake
of her health. AS the young man put
it, he came here to give his father
courage.
The officers said no interviewers
would be allowed to see the elder
Stensland on the Chicago journey.
Young Stensland wished every coon
mediation and comfort provided for his
father on the journey west.

Havana, Cuba-victory for the
liberals, or revolutionary party,
seemed certain, at the conclusion Of
a long conference between a commit
tee of the insurgents, of eight men,
bers, and the American peace COM
missioners. The insurgent commit
tee announced there was practically
no difference remaining between them
and Secretaries Taft and Bacon, and
that they would soon receive a draft
of the peace plans. These probably
would, be agreed to at a meeting to
be held in the preside, where the
prisoner members of the committee
are confined.
Plans Not Made Public.
Secretary Taft said ne could give
no details of what transpired at the
conference for the reason that it was
now necessary to treat with the gov
eminent leaders, and that the publica-
ton of the peace proposals might in
terfere with their prompt acceptance.
Messrs. Taft and Bacon went to the
palace and informed President Palma
of the outcome Of the negotiations
with the liberals.
The absence of a definite statement
from the commissioners makes it i'm
possible to say whether the plans car
ry the designations of the present ad-
miniStratiOn and the congressman
elected last year or not.

STRUCK BY TYPHOON

The storm, which began at 10
o'clock, swept down on the port with
out warning. Water was sucked UP
by the big twister and hurled into the
city. Streets were flooded. The in
habitants were panic-stricken.
Out on the bay crews were battling
with the storm. Mountain waves sub
merged the ships. The crews had no
time to launch l~ife-boats. Bodies We're
washed ashore, which were dashed
with foam. Wreckage was strewn
over the bay.
For more than an hour it was feared
that the city was doomed. Houses
were unroofed and buildings blown
down. Terror-stricken crowds rushed
through the streets seeking places of
safety from the storm.
The damage cannot be estimated.
The loss of life, it is feared, was

CONFERENCE WITH PALMA.
Taft's Terms Are Against the Existing

Cuban administration to the status of
the peace negotiations with the lib
erals and insurgents. The conference
adjourned to be resumed.
The peace terms proposed are
known to be against the government.
The visit to the palace of the Amer

particularly pleasant. Upon separating,
Secretary Taft announced that the CON
ference had resulted only in exchange
of opinions, and that another meeting
was necessary.
The president and the members Of

CUBANS ARE DISAPPOINTED
FEAR SCRAP WILL END WITHOUT
ARMED INTERVENTION.
Taft Considers 1t the Duty of the
United States to Give Cuba
Another Chance.

Havana, Cuba.-All classes are
now awaiting for the conditions under
which tranquility will likely be re-
stored in Cuba, and keen disappoint-
ment is expressed on every side be-
cause Of the likelihood of peace be-
ing brought about without armed
American Intervention. That the diff
ferences of the opposing factions
could be reconciled was not generally
believed to be possible, until Sunday,
when it was announced that the lib
erals and the insurgents had en-
powered a. committee to represent
them before the American mediators.
1t is evident that the business inter-
ests Of the island have no confidence
in the ability of the Cubans to rule
themselves, and now, when it appears
too late, they are openly favoring for
chile intervention and possibly annex
alton.
To Give Cuba Another Chance.
Secretary of War Taft is cognizant
of this general opinion that peace ian
not last unless it is enforced by an
American army, but he considers that
it is the duty of the United States
to give the republic another chance,
and believes that it would be bad pol
icy for the United States to keep a
force in Cuba longer than was re-
CURED to supervise the laying down of
arms. He said that If the liberals and
m%oderates harmonic their differ
ences, the United States must regard
the compact as made in good faith.
That peace will come as the result of
the mediation of the United States
is now believed by Cubans, regardless
of party affiliation, but whether it will
be on terms which will insure pernla-
nent tranquility is questioned.
Lieutenant Commander Chaplin, in
command of a brigade of blue jackets,
has completed a thorough examination
of the Notifications of Havana and
reported that in the event of a future
occupation of the island the city
could be fully protected.
Nineteen Guns for Taft.
mere was cOnSlQefdDle comment
Sunday over the fact that a salute or
nineteen guns was given Secretary
Taft when he visited the warships.
Previously he had been given the
usual seventeen guns, to which the
secretary of a is entitled. The two
extra guns mean that he is recog-
niZed as an ambassador extraordinary
on a special mission with plenary pow
ers from President Roosevelt. 1t is
known that he has been author
lied to exercise his own judgment in
all matters pertaining to the negotia-
lions, and that the squadron, with it's
entire force, is under his immediate
control.

PRINT PAPER is HIGHER.
Chicago Dealers Fear That a New
Trust Is Forming.

Chicago Illinois-A general in
crease of S. a ton in the price of
wrapping and other grades of wood
fiber papers, with a corresponding adj
vance in other classes, has raised the
fear among Chicago dealers that a
new trust is forming.
This fear is augmented by the fact
that the notices abolishing former
schedules were withdrawn by all the
mills simultaneously, and the prices
listed thus far have been identical.
The combination is believed to be
a successor to the General Paper Co.,
which was dissolved last May by an
injunction suit of the government. 1t
will avoid the mistakes of the former
trust.
Some n of the combination will be
required to act as a clearing house
for paper prices, and it is suspected
that John A. Davis & Co., 1876 Adams
street, will be so utilized. Mr.. Davis
was general sales agent for the Gen
eral Paper Co. With one leap the
mills have put the price higher than
when the trust was in operation.

cent. With the illuminating memory
of Konoplianikovo to guide them all,
true Russians must strike terror to the

Tuesday morning. The engine, ten
der, mail, express and day coaches
and the smoker went into the flooded
stream, but the Pullmans remained
upon the track.
The wires were carried down with
the bridge as the result of Tuesday
nights storms, the heaviest the
southwest has known in years, and
details are meager.
Weakened by the storms and the
sharp current of the Cimarron, a
narrow and treacherous stream be-
cause of shifting quick-sands, the
bridge gave way under the weight of
the train.
Composition of the Train.
The train consisted of a baggage,
mail car, coach and smoker, two Pull
mans, a chair car and day coach.
The engineer, fireman, express mes
senger and postal clerks are said to
have escaped from the river.
The railway officials here are I'M
able to state how many passengers
were in doomed coaches, or whether
any escaped. The brief message re-
ceived here was from the conductor
in charge of the train. The names of
the train crew in charge are unknown.
Relief trains had been sent from
Harrington and Caldwell, Kas., and
probably also from points south of
the wreck.
A number of dead bodies have been
taken to the morgue at Kingfisner.
