MAY MEAN ANNEXATION.
If Mediation Fails 1t Is Believed v.
win Annex Island

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Mediation
between the Cuban government and
the insurgents is the mission on
which Secretary Taft and Acting Sec
rotary Bacon have left for Cuba as
special emissaries of President Roose-
welt. If these two peace enovys fail
in their mission, there will be imme-
diate armed intervention in the affairs
of Cuba, and the army of the United
States and its naval force will be util-
lied in pacifying the island and max
and property.
President Roosevelt will act under
the treaty with Cuba, which is the SILL
preme law of the land
Never Come Back.
President Roosevelt will use the
army as a police force to protect life
and property in Cuba in the event OF
the failure of the Cuban government
and the insurgents to settle their diff
culties.
If American troops are landed in
Cuba, it is the we'll grounded belief
here that they will never leave it, and
that the island will pass under the
sovereignty of the United States.
ENJOYS Start.
Secretary Taft and Mr. Bacon left
for Cuba yesterday afternoon at 3:45
on the Palm limited on the Atlantic
Coast line.
Edwin w. Morgan, the American
minister to Cuba unexpectedly joined
the Taft party Just as the train left
Washington. He has been in Europe
since the insurrection began, but will
proceed to Cuba to resume his duties
at once. They will reach Tampa, Fla,
Monday night at 11:25 and will imme-
diately board the quartermaster's boat
and be taken to the quarantine sta
ton, at which point they will be trans
ferred to the United States cruiser
Des Moines and will sail for Havana,
arriving at the Cuban capital We'd
nesday morning.
Funston on the Way.
Gen. Frederick Funston, who has
been ordered to Cuba because of his
knowledge of the country and of the
insurgents themselves, will reach
Washington from the Pacific coast
next Thursday, and will proceed to
Havana, arriving there next Sunday.
No secret is made of the fact that the
plans for campaign in Cuba have
been made by the general staff espe-
cially. Every officer on duty at the
war department declares with mani

on the subject:

telegraphy, and in the event of an
emergency arising they will be sent
the cruisers Tacoma and the Cleve
