Oyster Bay. Sept. 27-While no or

ilization of troops In anticipation of
possible intervention IN Cuba 1t is
learned here that preparations for
such an eventuality have progressed
SO far that no time would be lost in
embarking troops should such a move
become necessary. The scarcity of
government troopships In Atlantic wa
tiers would be the most serious mat

sufficient to more than tax the capac-

are stationed at points from which
they could embark almost at mo.

that the troops could be moved quick,
ly should necessity demand and It Is
believed that they could be brought to

camped In front of Havana are In ex-

q American Intervention did not seem

cue from the Liberal revolutionary

. Government.

Havana, Sept. 27.-Cuba is prao-
ticaily without government and the
landing Of American forces to restore
order II the island is believed to be
the necessary outcome. The Mod
crate. or governing party. has decided
to abdicate everything In the nature
Of national. provincial and municipal
government and thus force the hands
Of the American peace commission
and compel the United States to inter
vene for the second time In Cuba. The
Liberals, or opposition party, denounce
the action Of the Palma administration
as treason, but the conservative inter-
ests throughout the island welcome
the idea of American Intervention as
being the only means OF securing an
orderly administration of the islands
affairs for any length OF time. 1t Is
pointed out that even II the American
commissioners succeeded in establish
ing the Liberals in power II would not
insure peace In Cuba and that the con-
dition OF unrest would continue indefi-
niteiy. The government officials oil
admit that they prefer American inter.
vention to seeing Liberals In power.

MISS RoosEvELT's LOST WATCH

MISS ROOSEVEIT'S LOST WATCH.
 Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the youngest daughter of the President, did not fig ure in a runaway Friday as reported. The story originated from little incl dent that happened last Tuesday as Miss Roosevelt was driving her favorite mare, Fidelity, into the yard near the stables at Sagamore Hill on the day mentioned above.
 She turned the cart too short and it was upset, but she sprang safely to the ground and a groom ran and grasped the horse by the bridle before the anil nal started to run away.
 Miss Bethel had the misfortune to lose a valuable gold watch recently which she prized very much as a souvenir The following advertisement appeared in a local newspaper Friday:
 Lost-A small gold watch marked on the back "Ethel'' in. white enameled charm attached. Probably dropper on letters and fob of four gold dollars with road running west from Jaynes Hill, on left side of road. Will finder please notify President Roosevelt and receive reward.

it was his mission to do what he could to exterminate the yellow race. It was the only homicide that had occur red for many months and the people from end to end of the islands had been shocked and mortified by it as no American community could be by a single violent death. Offenses against the ordinary social codes of morality are so rare that when, few years ago, a man high in public esteem elop= ed with the wife of another promin- ent man the whole colony gasped in shocked bewilderment. The pair came back after two or three years and he tried to establish himself again in his profession. But it was uphill work although he was a man of great gifts and of winning personality. When l was there he had been toiling along in this fashion for some two years or more. but people did not yet like even to speak about him and mentioned his name only with a sort of fearsomeness, saying Poor chap!" as they might if he had flung himself into some noun tain abyss.

A NEW ENGLAND sro1c.

A respectable and estimable elderly woman died of starvation in New Ha- ven, Ct.. few days ago. She had sup ported herself by doing housework un- til she became feeble--she was 7S years old when she died-and then she would neither accept aid or go to the poor house. Persons passing by her house saw no signs of life, and at last the door was forced open. She sat, dead, fully dressed, in chair, and there she had sat for some days The story is one grim pathos, It recalls one of Morrison's tales of mean streets. flaw thornes Hepzibah was of like stuff. There are women whose pride towers above the conviction that they are use less. superfious. If they can no longer support themselves they welcome death and deck themselves in their poor hest to do honor to the last visitor, who is to them a kindly deliverer Perhaps they are hopeful of more generous treatment They certainly are stoical and in New England towns and vil- lages are stoics who put to shame Zemo and the others that talked gravely in the Painted Porch at Athens.-Boston Herald.
