Intervention In Cuba.

"Our intervention in Cuban affairs will
only come If Cuba herself shows that she
has fallen into the insurrectonary habit.
that she lacks the self restraint neces-
sary to peaceful government and that
her contending factions have plunged the
country into anarchy.

that the only way that they can preserve

Special Session of Congress

SUBMITS BRIEF MESSAGE
President Deplores Conduct of oppo-
sition, Whom He Charges With
Responsibility of Caus-
ing the Rebellion.

Havana, September 1.-THE extra ses-
sion of congress called by President
Palma completed at one sitting this
afternoon the business for which 1t was
summoned namely, the granting to Presi-
dent Palma of the fullest powers not al
ready constitutionally possessed by the
executive for carrying on the war in
Guiding the right to appropriate any pub
lie funds for war purposes, revoling ap-
proprations at the preceding session of
congress in order to permit the diversion
of the moneys involved to prosecution of
the war, and authorizing increasing of
the rural guards to 10000 and the artillery
to 1000 This triples the former force Of
rural guards and doubtless the artillery.
These measures which were combined in
one blanket were passed by party votes,
the liberals and independents refrainlng
from voting, and the liberal nationalists
voting with the moderates.
President Palma submitted a brief mes
sage deplorng the conduct of the opposi-
ton whom he charges with the RESPONSE
blity of causing the rebellion. The mes
sage contained no recommendations be-
yond suggestions that congress approve
all recent executive DEGREES and take
such steps as may be deemed advisable
for ending the war The President re-
gretted that the first extra session Of
congress should have been necessitdted
by a disturbance of public order, and
said nobody would have expected that
four years after the Inauguration of the
republic it would have been in the midst
of a rebellion threatening the stability of
the government, causing the sincerity Of
Cuban professions to be distrusted by the
world and endangering the inde oendenee

street by treating them to fresh bis

when they gave demonstrations Of
their Faultless steel range and Coles

crowded from morning until late
this evening and the chef was kept
busy baking or brewing the entire
day.
One Of the features Of this dem
onstration was the strength Of the
range and the quickness Of the bak-
ing. From the time the dough was
put in the oven until the biscuits
we're drawn forth nicely Drowned and

was but two minutes. This is the
second demonstration given in the
