NO DANGER OF ATTACK
CAPT. ADAMS OF CUBA MAKES
STATEMENT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 15.-Capt. Ma
rio Carilloy Aldama, representative of the,
Cuban government here, gave out the de-
tails of a telegram this morning that he
had just received from Ernesto Foctsy
Sterling, secretary of the treasury under
Palma. The message contained the infor
nation that the Cuban congress had just
passed a law authorizing President Palma
to expend as much money as necessary in
the suppression of the revolution and ap-
proving the expenditures already made.
1t also authorizes him to enlist -ddiGional
rural guards to the number of 11,000 and
artillerymen to the number of 2,1OO.
Il am informed by Secretary Fonts, said
Capt. Albania, that the passing of this
bill has greatly raised the spirits Of the
people in Havana, that the situation has
greatly improved within the last twenty
four hours, and that there is no danger of
an attack by the insurgent forces. I am
also informed that no American property
has been burned or destroyed. l wish You
would tell the American public that"
In regard to the report from the revolu-
tioary tunta here that the total strength
of The rebel forces is about 25.O0O men,
Capt, Aldama said: 1T Is ridiculous for
the insurgents to advance any such claim.
Why the government itself has not that
many men.
The insurrectionists have already about
3,0CO men, about 500 of whom are armed,

Many of those in the insurgent ranks are

because they want to escape hard work.
The rebels wills only attack unfortified
towns. where they are sure there is only a
scant garrison which they may easily over

government forces in fair fight. They

have not attacked a town of Importance"

TOLEDO, Ohio, September 15.-Six bodies

more are being searched for in the Maui
NEE river as a result Of the accident last
night when a hand-car plunged through an
open draw of the Maumee bridge. The men
were track hands of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie road, according to time checks found
on the bodies that have been recovered,
but none of the names are known at this
time. 1t is expected that the four other
bodies supposed to be in the river will

sign, and also about the fight between Rod
riguez and Loynaz but it was so late that
President Palma had gone to bed, and so
could not see him.
The principal obstacle at present In the
/ way Of peace negotiations, unless they shall
be forced by the United States, is President
Palma's decree of September 10, in which
he Withdrew his previous decree offering
amnesty to the rebels. 1t is considered by
Palma and his friends that the decree Of
September 10 must be enforced and the
rebels denied pardon. Accordingly, the war
must be to finish.
The publication here of President Roose-
velts letter to Minister Quesada, containing
the announcement that Secretaries Taft and
Bacon were coming to Cuba, fell like a
bomb in the ranks of the revolutionists, but
has caused rejoicing among the loyalists,
who have been fearing what the attitude of
the United States might be. The opinion in
the palace yesterday was that American in
tervention was the only aid the Cuban gov
ernment could expect.
Future Depends on Developments.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 16.-Secretary
Taft and Secretary Bonaparte reached this
city last midnight from Oyster Bay. Secre-
tary Bonaparte left at 9:S5 o'clock this
morning for Baltimore. where he will stop
on his way back to Washington.
Secretary Bonaparte had little to add to
the announcement made by the President
after the Oyster Bay conference.
1.-The cruisers Denver and Des Moines and
the auxiliary Dixie will be in Cuban waters
for a time. Whether we send any more or
not will depend on later events" he said

I 1t, is fair to presume that the same
conditions which obtained here OBJ
tanned elsewhere, and that in every
city in the land crowds thronged the
bulletin boards and thousands used
the telephones.
Oh, you just cannot stop it. People
may talk all they please about stop
ping these affairs, and their brutality
and their degrading influence, but Just
let one start and everybody wants to
know how ii is coming out The price
of stocks cut no figure; the fact that
real estate is on the boom, or that two
or more loads of watermelons came to
town, or even that tonight is prayer
meeting night, doesn't seem to stop
'em from wanting to know all about it,
and how it ended, and whether the
other man was game.
1t has been that way ever since men
entered the arena and fought with the
cestus, a much more brutal weapon
than a boxing glove, and it is quite
likely it will be the same as long as
men live. Because the average man
likes a scrap, and the average woman,
too, for that matter. And when two
fellows like the Dane and the Negro
meet, everybody likes to know what is
doing.
Humanity is improving, however. 1t

lead bound to the hands with thongs,

else of a less intense nature. And

THE SAME OLD SPIRIT.

We may talk as we please, but the
same old spirit fingers with us; the
sentiment that prompted the audience
in the coliseum to turn their thumbs
up or down, as their feelings prompted
them, and that it will never be eradi-
Gated is manifest. That is, in our day
and age, and perhaps for several gen.
erations to come.
Yesterday was a day of fights.
There were something like twenty, all
told, in various portions of the coun-
try. The principal event was at Gold
white, and Danish by descent,
scrapped with Mr. Joe Cans, mahog-
any blonde, and African by descent.
For forty-two rounds the Norseman
and the Senegambian clouted each
other, clinched, butted and otherwise
Jared each other, until. finally the
Dane fouled his sable antagonist and
il was all over.
In front of the State Journal Office
large crowd of people watched for the
delivery of the bulletins. The twin
papers down the street had a crowd
equally as large and both were made
up of people of all sorts and condi-
tions, from my lady fair who sat in
her carriage to the husky fellow with
the corn-cob pipe and the corn-juice
jag. Each and every one of them
manifested the same eagerness, and
there wasn't bit of difference be-
tween them in that respect.
What was true Of the crowds at the
front door was true of the people all
ovar tho citv This office has two
telephones, and both of them were
working most of the time. The major
portion of the inquiries received were
from members of what Mr.. Weller
designated as the "softer SEX" and
they kept the telephone editor busy
all through the mill.

DUBOIS STUFFED CLUB.

1t is now all over but the shouting.
II. w. Lockhart of Pocatello, chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee, has spoken his first, and,
he and Dubois think, the last, word on
the issues of this campaign. In an
open letter, pirated over his signatur
in the Salt Lake Herald, Chairman
Lockhart earns his salary from Dubois
by saying that the paramount issue
of this campaign is the Mormon ques-
ton. No other topic is discussed by
the chairman-no other issue is made;
and, parenthetically, how does Judge
Stockslager like that sort of a Demo-
cratic dope sheet.
"The state of Idaho" shouts Mr..
Lockhart in his letter, Stands pill
loried before the United States
For what?
Mr.. Loclihart would have us believe

because polygamy is practiced and on
the increase in this statej when, as
matter of fact, polygamy is a thing of
the past in Idaho. If there is any
truth in the pillory theory of Mr.. Lock
mart, 1t is because of just such bald
utterances as he makes at the dicta-
ton of that arch-conspirator against
the fair name of the state Fred r..
Dubois.
1t was believed when Judge Stock
Slayer rendered the Democratic state
Craftsmanship to Mr. Lockhart, that
the same element of the party would
take control. Disappointing alike to
the people and to Judge Stocksager
is the spectacle of Lockhart out
Jacksoning ex-Chairman Jackson. and
reiterating absurdities which have
made the names Dubois and Jackson
synonymous with political charlatan-
ism and cheap demagoguery.
The Tribune has in the past been
privileged and pleased to read writ

they are too familiar. They display,
lot the calm judicial mind of II. w.
-ockhart, but the fine Italian hand of
fred Dubois. No other man in Idaho
could clothe such absurdities to such
appealing to passion words.
Again the question is pertinent:
How does Judge c. o. Stockslager,
how does Stewart S. Dunning, how
lOeS Karl Paine how does DIR + n
Morris, how do the rest of the Demo-
rats whose names are on the ticket
nominated at Occur dAlene like the
idea of Fred Dubois holding Chair
man Lockhart as club over their
heads and saying:
"There is but one issue-cut out all
talk about everything except Mormon
ism"
1t would be almost like screaming
farce for a man like Chief Justice
Stockslager to go on the stump and
limit his spellbinding to Dubois.
dictated attacks upon an established
religion.
Unless Dubois calls off his dog there
is bound to be a parting of the ways
among Democratic candidates. Not all
of them can stomach such rot as
Chairman Lockhart's Dubois-dictated
appeal Even among the Democratic
nominees there are white men, liberty
loving men, men who, while they may
not rebel at an occasional flick OF the
party lash, will most certainly assert
their manhood when they are hit over
the head with Dubois fat-iron.-Po-
