New York, Oct. 13.-Manuel Silveira.
the Cuban banker whose alleged en-
bezzlement of $1,O0O,0O0 belonging to ].
M. Cebauos and COMPANY caused that
firms failure, financed the recent re-
volt in Cuba, according to Havana ad'-
vices to the Times. A part Of the money
is stated to have been spent IN the
purchase of arms Silveira's activity
In the revolution is declared to have
been due to quarrel with President
Palma. They had been together in
some large cattle deals, Silveira supply
ing stock for Palma's estate in Bayamo.
While these deals were proceeding Sill
veira became interested in a Tacon
theater deal, which involved q sale to
the government of 100000 above the
purchase price. While this deal was
pending Palma found he had been
badly beaten in the cattle deal and
thereupon frustrated the theater trans-
action. Silveira at that moment be-
came Palmas enemy, and began plot
ting a revolution. Then he employed
Jose Miguel Gomez as the manager Of
Ais sugar estate. The government
openly pursued Gomez, sending troops
and. artillery to coerce the people near
the estate to refuse to deal with Gomez
or silveira. The result was the dds
missal Of Gomez, who went to New
York. Then Silveira began other ne-
gotiations, and when the insurgent
leaders took the field he supplied them
with funds.
| The government learned Of silveira's
company and had prepared to arrest
him, when he purchased freedom by the
ostensible gift Of 500 horses and the be-
travail Of Quentin Banderos. interviews
ton by the United States brought
about the situation where Silveira's
treachery to both sides was bound TO
appear with consequent danger to his
life. He thereupon apparently laid

PASSENGERS PANIC STRICKEN
Adirondack and Saratoga Collide in
a Dense Fog, and 1t is Only With
Goodness of Officers, Crows and Pas
sensers That Many Lives Arc Not
Lost-one Man Missing.

Kingston, N. Y, Oct. 13.-During a
dense fog last night the passenger
steamers Adirondack and Saratoga col
lided near Glasco, twelve miles north
of this city, early today. Clarence Sher-
man, of Melrose, n. Y, an oiler on the
Saratoga. was killed, and George Nor
ton, of New York, a clerk on the
Adirondack, is supposed to have bean
knocked overheard and drowned.
The Saratoga sustained the greater
damage. The Adirondack was on its
way to Albany, and the Saratoga to
New York. The Adirondack tore off
part of the side of the Saratoga, which

Passengers Are Panic Stricken.
Many of the passengers on the Sara
toga were knocked down by the force
of the collision. but the crews of both
boats assisted in rescuing them, and
later they were transferred to the City
of Troy, landed at Tivoli and sent to
New York by train.
The passengers on both boats became
panic stricken, and it was only by the
GOODNESS of the passengers and crews
of both boats that a heavy loss Of life
was prevented. The Adirondack, after
the fog cleared, was able to proceed
to Albany The Saratoga was hauled
to the Glasco dock, where she was
was anchored
Oneora to the Rescue.
The collision occurred in one Of the
.na~rowest parts OF the river. while
both boats were feeling their way thru
the dense fog. The Saratoga had
about 200 passengers on board, and a
heavy consignment of freight. The
collision tore away about seventy five
feet of the lower deck on the port side,
dacks' terrific impact caused the Sara
toga, with one side of her lower deck
almost shattered, to rebound, and she
now lies at anchor a few yards from
where the collision took place. Those
of the passengers who were not awak-
ened by the shocks were soon aroused
from their slumbers by cries of the
crews on both boats. Fortunately help
was at hand. The propeller Oneora
steamed alongside the Adirondack a
few minutes after the crash and offered
assistance. Captain Wilson of the
Adirondack, told the Oneora to stand
by while he assured his passengers
there was no immediate danger. He
gave the passengers the alternative of
staying on board or of being trans
ferred to shore on the propeller, and
about $50 of them chose the latter
course.
Adirondack Reaches Albany.
The Adirondack reached Albany
safely. From stories told by passen-
gers and the captain OF the Adiron-
dack, there was comparatively little
excitement, considering the seriousness
of the accident. The collision tore
away that part of the lower deck In
which were located the rooms of First
Mate Dermitty, Frank Flanagan, and
George L. Horton. All three were pre-
cipitated into the river. Derlnitty and
Flanagan foated around on pieces OF
freight until picked up. Horton has
not been found. Clarence Sherman
was crushed between the engine and
broken wood work.

a lamentable neglect of reading in the

NIr. NIetcalH's Plight.

Because the purely p%arochial affair OF
providing seats for Japanese in the San
Francisco schools has come into con-
fict with the superior Federal obliga-
tiOns of our treaty with Japan, Secretary
METCALF has been sent to the Coast to
make a report upon the difficulty. To
the President il must have seemed a
choice OF a reporter essentially fit, for
the Secretary as a Californian may be
expected to appreciate the weight of such
popular sentiment az may be discover
able underlying the noisy and superficial
Clamor. But Secretary METCALF may
find good ground TO sympathize with
st. Lawrence.
The exclusion OF Chinese has been a
tradition in California from the time Of
DENNIS KEARNEY and the sand lots agi-
tation. The same irreconcilable political
manipulation of the labor element on
the Coast has in these later years ex-
tended the exclusion policy TO cover all
Asiatics. 1t is as inconsistent as could
well be imagined. The Chinese must be
kept out because they do not assimilate
with American ways; the Japanese must
not enter because they assimilate en-
tirely too successfully.
To the President and TO Secretary
METcALF, az executive officers Of the
nation, the question must seem local and
petty, and it is clear that the Secretary
Is expected to report that the school
hoard of San Francisco should not block
the course Of the nations amicable rela-
tions with Japan. On the other hand,
Secretary METCALF's home is on the
Contra Costa side Of San Francisco Bay
and his hopes of future preferment
rest upon the attitude of his fellow citi-
zeBs toward him. California has al,
ready shown signs of uneasy suspicion
that he is not firm against the Chinese
