NOT ABOVE LEARNING

- -
The United States government has de
tailed two army officers to travel for i
month with one of the largest circuse~ii
the country. 1t is not sn infreqnent oc
cnrence for officers to be detailed tC
schools and colleges, III order TO give in
struction in military tactics. This time
the object is not to teach but to learn.
Rustics and city dwellers alike have mar.
yeled at the seeming ease with which tile
transportation and maintenance OF great
circus is managed. A thousand people,
scores Of horses, wild animals requiring
special conditions Of heat, air or food and
a mass of canvass, cordage, and other ma
terial, both heavy and bulky, are carried
from one town TO another with fidelity to
schedule prepared long before. III the
town at which the next performances is TO
be given the tent is set up and all other
arrangements for entertaining crowds Of
people are made. Sleeping quarters aud
regular meals for thousand men and
women are provided. The animals are
fed and watered. The money aud ether
valuables are guarded. 1t may be that
the circus wilIreinain in one town two Or
three days, or the next day may find il
many miles away, but whatever the pro-
gram the men il, charge are capable Of

LEARN THE HABIT OF SAVING

To inculeate habit of saving il is Also
alutely necessary that few dollars-a
hundred, more or less s-should be laid
aside as nest egg It's this amount
the first hundred-and tile habit OF saw
ing acquired in accunulating it that have
more to do in giving the young man a
financial and business start in the world
than any $500 which he accunlnlates
afterward. There are scores of young
men, hardworking and Industrious, who
have no sense Of ownership and possess no
proprietary interest simply because they
fail to make the start. In many cases
this hand to mouth method Of earning
and spending is due to young men not
having others dependent upon them.
Whilea young woman runs considerable
risk in marrying chaps Of this type, she
often furnishes the necessary incentive to
saving.

lean Legation and Mr.. Taft told him that Pres,-
dent Roosevelt felt that any agreement looking
TO the election OF either provisional or a con-
stitutionaI President. or the adoption of any
other programme leading to peace. should be
aided by the American commissioners 1t was
then that Zayas advanced his own candidacy.
which convinced Mr.. Taft that the Liberals were
no more anxious for Cancellation than the Mod
crates.
General Freyre Andrade. speaker Of the lower
house. reported TO Mr. Taft that of the three
candidates for the Presidency named by Zayas,
not one was acceptable to the Moderates The
genera! said that the programme of the Moder-
ates was to receive President Palma's resigna-
ton and send a delegation to the palace to ask
him TO reconsider his determination The gen.
eral added that he sure Palma would insist
on resigning. The Moderates would then return
from the palace to the Hail. Of Congress and
formally withdraw from the session. thus break
ing the quorum. they were sure that inter
vention was the best settlement which they
could get.
MR. WINTHROP FOR CIVIL GOVERNOR
In view of this situation Mr.. Taft felt certain
the United States would have to intervene. He
prepared a proclamation. naming himself Mill
tary Governor Of Cuba, to continue in authority
until order was restored and until he considered
it safe TO surrender his charge a civil gov
ernor. When that time comes Mr.. Taft will
recommend President Roosevelt the appoint
ment of Beekman Winthrop. Governor Of Porto
Rico. as Civil Governor OF Cuba. The appoint
ment of a civil government for the island de-
ponds entirely upon the insurgents laying down
their arms and on the absolute loyalty OF the
government forces.
President Roosevelt to-day sent instructions
10 Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bacon thai they should
make one last supreme effort TO reconcile the
Cuban differences President Roosevelt's mes
sage was in response to one sent by Secretary.
Taft last night, saying he was convinced that
the Cuban Congress would exhibit impotency in
meeting the situation. and that intervention
was the only course left TO the United States
Mr.. Taft concluded his message with the asser-
ton that 1t was too late to prevent intervention
A detachment of marines this morning began
preparations TO distribute tents ammunition
and supplies stored the CabaIIeria Wharf
among the three battaIions of marines which
were ready TO land.
Tho sentiments expressed in the public resorts
of intervention The few who were opposed to
it easily resigned themselves TO what they con-
sidered be the inevitable. The interest of
the masses in the outcome is far less intense
than would be imagined. The representatives
OF commercial interests here praise the fairness
of Secretary Taft, and also his determination to
press peace to a prompt conclusion

CUBAN EDITOR FOR INTERVENTION.
Revolution Has Increased Annexation Senti-
ment, Says Nicholas Rivero.

The Associated Press had interview last even
ing with Nicholas Rivero. Editor Of the 'Diario de
la Marina" of Havana. on the situation in Cuba
Mr.. Rivero is the dean OF the journalists of the
Cuban capital. and held in universal high esteem
there He is a Spaniard by birth. but has lived all
his life in the island
Mr.. Rivero the bulletin announcing the land
ing Of American marines guard the Treasury
Building and saying that American intervention in
Cuba would be accomplished fact tomorrow.
He said:
Armed intervention will be gladly welcomed by
all the conservative and productive classes Of the
island because it will bring protection vested
interests and property. The politicians Of Cuba, al
though not in sympathy with intervention, will
cept with resignation They perceive that IL is
an outcome Of the will of the people of the United
States but has about solely because the
political parties in Cuba could not reach under
standing with each other.
The present Cuban rebellion has 10 a great extent
increased in the island the sentiment IN favor OF
the United States, but the productive
elements OF the country, without distinction or
nationality. whether American. English, Spanish.
German. French Cuban, would be fully satisfied
with protectorate; IN other words that the provt
sion of the Plat Amendment de ture. should be-
come a protectorate de facto in the manner have
already explained Without this de facto protec-
torate the United States will have 10 face the ne
cessity OF intervening in Cuba very soon again, and
perhaps under more difficult and dangerous condi-
tons than exist to-day.
