Norfolk, Va, Sept. 1.-THE protect.
ed cruisers Tacoma and Cleveland are
hustling stores aboard at the Ports
mouth navy yard and it is understood
that they are to follow the cruiser Des
Moines southwark. The destination can
not be learned, The protected cruiser
Denver yesterday went down the coast
from the League Island navy yard un-
der sealed orders, too, it is reported.
Rush orders were sent yesterday to
the naval magazine here for 5000 shells
for the cruiser Tacoma These will be
sent alongside at once.
Orders have also been issued for the
transfer Of all enlisted men and petty
officers from the Tacoma and the
Clev leland, whose enlistments expire be-
fore May l, 1907. This order would
seem to indicate that the ships are go-
ing to remain away from the United
States for several months.
All Eyes on Cuba.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE critical
situation IN Cuba is absorbing the at
tention of the administration to the
exclusion of all other foreign topics, as
indicated by the activity Of the off

Partm ents: The president at Oyster
Bay is kept in close touch with every
development in the revolutionary move

the sole topic of conversation today.
That fighting of a far more desperate
character will result as soon as the news

is not doubted in any quarter.
The fear of an attack by the insur-
gents on Havana is spreading, and
there are rumors more or less authentic
from all directions Of new uprisings in
various quarters.
Death Awaits Rebels.
It is not generally believed that there
is sufficient insurgent force near Ha-s
vana at present to attempt to enter
the capital, and many doubt whether
the insurgents will have sufficient nerve
in any event to attempt to traverse the
long distance from the suburbs to the

IS FREDDY" ELIGIBLE?
This is Question Causing Iowa Athletic
Authorities Some Little Trouble -
Ha. Been Great Splinter.
Special to Times-Repuplican.

Special to imes-Repubiican.
Iowa City, Oct. 31-Whether or not
Reddy Hamilton, the great Iowa
sprinter, is eligible to compete in west
ern track events in the future is a
question which Is causing Iowa ath-
letic authorities to wonder. 1t is be-
lieved, eventually, that the decision of
the matter will be left in the hands
committee. Hamilton will be remem-
bered as the State Normal Splinter who
captured first in the hundred and two
twenty yards dashes in the conference
meet at Chicago. Since that time the
State Normal school abolished foot
ball and Coach Pell of that institution
secured position at Drake University.
With him went Hamilton, who has
been a student at Drake since the OPP
ening of the school year. Now it is
announced that Hamilton is to leave
Drake and enter some western confer-
ence university, possibly Chicago.
Heretofore the western conference
and Iowa colleges generally have not
recognized the time athletics have
played at the State Normal school as
counting against them. 1t has been
classed as preparatory school and for
that reason athletes who have work.
ed four years there have been permit
ted to enter other colleges and COM
pete. Spuix Jones, the left half on the
present Ames foot ball team is the
most notable example of such an ats-
lete, and Jack STREET,, formerly an end
on the Iowa team, is another. Both
men had played with the state normal
school for two years before entering
Iowa and Ames. But at the last meet
ing Of the western conference the State
Normal school was lifted into the rank
of a college and athletes who came
from there had their time there count
ed against them.
State officials have expected that
Hamilton would carry the Drake colors
next spring and vet they are divided as
to his right to do so. There seems to
be no doubts over the Question tina.
Hamilton would not have the right to
compete for a western conference I'M.
iversity next spring. The one year
residence rule would bar him II MOTH
ing else did Meanwhile the Iowa
coaches will anxiously await the OUT
come Of the affair. Hamilton himself
states that he has considered entering
the Northwestern Medical College.

BERRY AT DUMONT
IneiianoIa Senator Makes a Splendid
Address to Large Audience at That
Point-urges Support of the Whole
Republican Ticket.


Republican Ticket.
Special to es-Republican.
Dumont, Oct. 31.-Hon. w. H. Berry,
of Indianola, Iowa, addressed an APP
preciatiye audience here last night at
a republican rally He held his aud
fence in wrapt attention for over an
hour and a half, and spoke in favor OF
the election Of the whole republican
ticket from top to bottom. He used no
such qualifying words as "the national
republican ticket" or the county tick
ct" but urged all to support the whole
republican ticket. He spoke OF the
changed conditions that the last half
century have brought in increased
miles of railroads, in increased wealth
of great insurance companies, and the
need of government regulation of rates.
He said that he did not understand
how any man who claimed to be in
favor of protection could support a
party which stood for tariff for rev.
enue only, and candidate for gov
ernor who is an avowed free trader,
because he did not believe that Gov
ernor Cummins is a strong enough
protectionist. We may differ as to
particular schedules, he said; every
thing the governor does may not please
Won. lit NAV not please me in every
detail, but because in some detail you
think things might be done differently,
is there any republican in Butler who
is going to vote for the democratic
candidate for governor?
Mr. Berry told the audience how
new issues arising must be met, and
the party that does not meet them,
will give place to another party
which will meet them. There has been
every since the country was establish
ed one party of progression, and there
has also been one party of obstruction.
The party that will meet the issues,
and solve them, is the party which will
live, and any party which will retain
the supremacy, must meet them. Since
the republican party was born, on the
ashes Of the old wing party, there have
been two parties, the republican party,
which has done things and the dem
ocratic party which has been the party
of obstruction. And today, he said, he
did not believe there Ia any democrat
in the state of Iowa WHO is not proud
Of the great things accomplished by
the republican party in this last forty
years

been of incendiary origin. The fire in
the millinery store was soon extin-
gufshed, with but little damage save
what had been done by the. water and
smoke. but the general store fire con-
tinued to rage. The warehouse, salt
house. chicken house and other out
buildings were destroyed before the fire
was auenched. The loss will be about
$1,000, with 500 insurance on the stock
and nothing on the building. The in
surance was carried in the German OF
Peoria. HI. j. Eusden was the first
man on the scene of the Remein fire.
and when he arrived the fire was d.
rectly in the middle of the warehouse,
with no way of ascertaining its origin.

IDENTIFIES HIS AssAlLAN !.
slavonian Murder Suspect is Now IN
der Arrest at Bettendorf.

Special to Times Republican.
Bettendorf, Oct. 31.-The arrest has
been made of a Slavonfan named Pam
kovich, whom John Mexico, another
Slovenian, who was nearly slashed to
death here Sunday night, has identified
as his assailant. Pankoyich's hearing
was to have come off here yesterday
afternoon, in the court of Justice Will
lets, but was postponed on account of
Mexico not being able to appear against
him.
The affray did not occur at Eek
mann's place at Bettendorf, as has
been stated, but in the pasture near the
new hotel building. Mexico was cut
across the neck, knife or razor sharp
ness slashing him thru coat collar and
other clothing, so that the physician
who repaired his injuries had to take
number of stitches to sew the cut in
his neck, and others to close the cash
in his groin. This severed an artery,
which required some further treatment
today, and is serious wound.
There has been bad blood between
the two parties to the fracas for some
time and the fight is said to have
grown out of dispute over a SIS bill.

Special to Times-Kepubllcan.


Ottumwa, Oct. 31.-Asa Smith,
charged with the theft of $1,1S5 in
money from Thomas Davis, an elderly
farm hand, entered plea of guilty in
the district court here and was SEN
fenced to two years in the penitentiary.
Smiths case was one of the most pc
culiar ever brought to the attention OF
the court here. He was a man of very
good reputation and apparently of up
right character, but in a moment OF
temptation took roll of, bills from
the pockets of farm hand named
Thomas Davis while the men We're
working in a corn field. Various peo-
ple who had known Smith or by whom
he had been employed, sent petitions
asking for leniency on the part of tho
court in dealing with the defendant
The most remarkable of these was one
from McFalls, Mo-, Smiths, old home,
which was signed by forty-tive of his
old friends and neighbors.
Story Of the Crime.
The robbery, which was one OF the
oldest and most sensational which mas
occurred in Wapello county for years,
occurred September 81.
Davis was working in corn field on
the farm of Roy Golf, about one mile
and a half west of Batavia, just a
short distance over the Wapello coun-
ty line.
1t has been Davis custom for years
to carry his savings with him. In the
roll of bills which Smith stole there
were some that Davis has carried on
his person thru the day and slept
with them under his pillow at night
for the last seventeen years.
Becoming heated from his exertions
Davis took off his coat and the vest.
in which he carried the money, and
hung them on a hedge at the side OF
the field in which he was working.
Later happening to look toward where
the clothing had been hanging, he
noticed that the vest had been disturb
ed.
He at once went to examine the
clothes and found that he had been
robbed, Sheriff Cremer was notified
and after strenuous preparation,
having but twenty minutes within
which to make the train to Batavia,
with his dogs, left for the Jefferson
county town.
After strenuous search for clew,
the sheriff by the aid of the hounds
at last fixed his suspicion upon Smith
and in spite of protests from residents
of Batavia. who believed Smith incapa
BILE of such deed. took steps to Sc
cure his capture. Smith was later cap
tured at Fairfield, and the "roll' re-
covered.
