CHINA IS READY TO
DEFEND HER RIGHTS
With a Modern Army Of 100000 Sol.
diers China Will No Longer ToIer-
ate Foreign Aggression. Is the
Statement of Chinese Minister Here

Berlin. Feb. 9.-In an interview to-
day regarding reports that the United
States is preparing for interference in
China, Lieutenant General Yin Tc-
hang, Chinese minister here, said:
"Anti-foreign outbreaks in China
are evidence OF the awakening of
new national spirit. China will no
longer tolerate foreign aggressions and
will not allow Chinese abroad to be
treated as an inferior race AT the
sametime, l do not believe American
preparations are really directed against
China, but are meant to serve so me
other purpose.
II think repetition of united act-
ION on the part of che powers against
China is impossible in Consequence of
the political situation. No power is
likely to risk the. danger of single
handed action. Moreover, China is
| uvT in a position to place in the fell:
a modern army OF 200, 900 men and
this number~is steadily increasing.
China will now at least try to stand
nm for bar riobts >,

AT HOME TOLD IN CON-
DENSED FORM.
LATE FOREIGN DISPATCHES
Interesting Items of News Gathered
from All Parts of the Globe and
Outlined in the Briefest Manner
Possible.
THE CUBAN REVOLT.

American intervention in Cuba is
declared certain. Marines landed in
Havana to protect the treasury, and
Secretary Taft will issue a proclama-
ton creating himself provisional mill
tary governor, after which a further
force of American marines will dis
embark
The end came to the Cuban repub-
lie through the refusal of President
Palma to withdraw his resignation
and the action of the moderates in de-
clining to attend the session of con-
gress,
1t is certain that a sufficient force
of American troops will be maintained
in Cuba to support the provisional
government and to insure security to
life and property pending the estab-
lishment of a stable government by
the Cubans
American troops are moving toward
Cuba Mobilization of the force will
be at Newport News, Va, for the most
part, although a part of the first ex-
peditionary force to Cuba will be
sent from New York and Tampa,
Fla
Adyices received at the department
of the military establishment of the
government indicate that all is quiet
in Cuba and that the insurgents in
tend to lay down their arms. The
probability is that the United States
forces in the island will be landed only
as a precautionary measure.
Some cases of yellow fever have
developed in Havana and Secretary
Taft is concerned lest the disease at
tack the troops which are to be as
sembled there. Maj. Kean, who has
had an extended experience not only
in Cuba but also in the Philippines,
and is thoroughly familiar with the
health conditions in Havana, will look
after the health bureau.
Senior Quesada rendered to the pro-
visional government of Cuba his resig-
nation as minister to this country.

NO TROUBLE TO DISARM
THE CUBAN INSURGENTS
Gen. Funston Declares Matters Will
Move So Smooth and Rapid That 1t
viii Take Much Less Time
Than Was Expected.

Havana.-The work of disposing
peacefully of the revolutionary forces
in arms against the Cuban govern
ment is already practically under
way. Brig. Gen. Funston, chairman of
the disarmament commission, had
two amicable conferences with Gems
Pine Guerra and Del Castillo and ar
ranged programme perfectly salts
factory to all concerned.
In fact, Gen. Funston said that the
wind-up will be smooth and rapid,
and that it will take much less time
than had been anticipated.
The first landing of any considera-
BILE number of Americans took place
Sunday night, when $50 marines came
ashore from the squadron in the har-
Dor. This force proceeded for Glen
fuegos on a special train. 1t was ex-
planned that this movement was not
made on account of any actual trouble
in Cienfuegos, but for the purpose of
exerting a calming influence on the
local situation, which contains some
possibility of conflict by reason of
the tense feeling existing between the
government volunteers and the insur-
gents.
Bid Farewell to Palma.
Sunday at the palace passed quietly
and rather gloomily. There are as
yet no signs of Secretary Taft's actual
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1906-10-04

work there will be especially ardu.
Gus.
Gen. Guerra himself will assist in
experimenting the work of the return
of his men to their homes after the
forces in Pinar del Rio province have
given over their arms.
Gen. Funston expects to remain in
Havana in general charge of the work
of disarmament When this is com
pleted he will take command of all
the United States troops in Cuba.
Grateful to United States.
Gen. Pine Guerra, speaking of the
new situation in the island, said all
the men of his forces were eminently
satisfied with the arrangements He
expressed the belief that the subtility
of the government was now assured
and predicted that never again would
there be a revolution in Cuba, thanks
largely to the United States govern
ment for the hand it had taken in the
settlement of the difficulty.
While many of his men wanted to
parade in Havana before dispensing,
their commanders regarded this as I'M
necessary, and Gen. Guerra said there
would be no demonstration that would
permit of the possibility of renewal
of the previous i'll feeling. Asked
whether his men shared his content
ment with the proposition to return
quietly to their homes, Gen. Guerra
said:
1.-THE men under our commands will
obey us. Those who do not certainly
never were with us. The revolution
is ended and we have. won, SO we are
supremacy content"
Del Castillo Is Content.
Gen. Del Castillo said: eve would
have preferred a peaceful solution ar
ranged, il possible, between the Gu
bans themselves, instead of interyen-
ton; but we are satisfied because the
corrupt~ administration has fallen and
an honest election can be depended on

will be deposited with the battalion
commander, who will turn them over
to the commission The rebels will
take their horses home, the animals
which have been stolen to be returned
later to the owners on proper identi-
fication.
In order to expedite the return home
OF the large number of revolutionists
in Pinar del Rio province and avoid
possible disturbances during the oper-
alton, a special train will be run from
the point on the line nearest the rebel
camps to San Juan de Martinez, the
terminus of the Western railroad.
Men and horses will be distributed at
the intermediate stations
The provisional government has no
expectation that even a considerable
number of the revolutionists will sur
render their arms Most of the
weapons are the personal property of
the men carrying them.
Start for the Provinces.
The first of the disarmament com
mission have left here for Puerto
Principe. Others will start for Santa
Clara province on a special train,
which will pick up the arms turned in
at he various places on the way AS
Santa Clara province contains the
largest number of rebels in arms the

American Marines Not Slain.
The story published in the United
States that number of American
marines had keen killed by insurgents
is declared by Gov. Taft and the rebe
commanders to be without foundation
Col Burnett, the ranking marine Of
ficer, is in command of the battalion
sent to Cienfuegos.
Guard Against Yellow Fever.
Drs. Finlay and Barrett, the chief
health officers of Cuba, and DR.. Lopez
the health officer of Havana, conferred
with Gov. Taft for the purpose of ar
ranging extra measures looking to the
determination of mosquitoes, or, in
fever There are six cases of fever
in Havana and this causes some ap-
prehension.
Pledge Allegiance to Taft.
Gov. Taft has received kilograms
from provincial and municipal author
tiles throughout the island declaring
allegiance to the provisional govern
ment. Many of these communications
were couched in eXtravagant terms OF
fealty. Gov. Aleman, of Santa Clara
province, telegraphs that he had al
ready resigned to the Palma admins
tration, but had received no answer.
He now sends his resignation to Gov.
Taft
Work of Preparation.
Commissary General Sharp will not
cease his work on the departure of the
first expeditionary force for Cuba. AS
soon as the troops are landed, which
will be within ten days-another full
supply of commissary stores for 80
days will be sent to Cuba by mer-
chant liner. One week later a third
supply for 80 days will be forwarded
to Cuba. The object of sending the
supplies so rapidly is to get them into
the depots at Havana and have them
handled without confusion.

half-dozen other buildings in the con-
gested part of downtown district.

occupancy of that edifice. which was
the scene of number of farewells to
ex-President Palma and his family.
The members of the diplomatic corps
and the foreign consuls called in a
body to say goodby.
They gave expressions of many sin
cere words of friendship and appreci-
alton of the character and kindness
of the late head of the republic. Senior
Palma received all his visitors with
quiet dignity and seemed entirely rec
onciled to going, although he still ap-
pears detected at the outcome of the
revolution.
Towards evening the private recep-
ton room of the palace was thrown
open and scores of personal friends
called and remained for some time
with Senior Palma, his wife and other
members Of the family. The eX-presi-
dent is besieged by requests for inter-
views by cable and in person. London
newspapers are urgent in asking for
an interview. To the cablegrams the
ex-president has not replied, while to
the newspaper correspondents here he
has sent word that he has nothing
further to say.
Secretary Taft sent a letter to Senior
Palma saying he desired to escort him
to the railroad station, and show him
every courtesy due his exalted posi-
ton. Senior Palma thanked Secretary
Taft cordially, but said he wished to
leave quietly and without public cere-
mOny.
No Pay for Rebel Arms.
The disarmament commission has
decided that the rebels shall not re-
ceive payment for their arms, but
each man will be given transportation
and subsistence until he reaches home.
The programme of disarmament is
simply that one member OF the COM
mission accompanied by one or more
representatives of the revolutionists
will visit each command. The arms

MANHATTAN CROWDS.

Look in any direction, east or west on Twenty-third street, north or south on Broadway or Fifth avenue, as far as one can see, there are attractive shops. To your left is an old graystone pile; one of the oldest hotels at which. perhaps, more prominent persons have stopped in the course of its long exist ence than at any other hostelry in New York. Tn and out of this hotel, and in and out of the other buildings, and up and down the intersecting streets, is d moving mass of humanity. Now one knows what it is that calls to him here in the city. It is this massing of hu- manity. There are always new faces. There are always some faces that are interesting.
 The New York crowd does not ai- ways hurry Mingle with that portion of the crowd going north on Fifth ave nue- It fairly radiates pleasure. luxury and social sunshine. Do not pity ped estrians on this thoroughfare; many of them are the elite of Manhattan, traiI- ing their light colOTed and costly gar ments. without fear of soOt or dust on this cleanest of streets. lowing to friends riding in handsome equipages. stopping to look into shop windows, or to chat with passing acquaintances. They impart to the avenue an atmos- phere of animation and good breeding. Life on Fifth avenue is different from that of any other street in New York. or from any other street in any other American city.-F'rom ''The Song of the | City" by Basil BurweI, in Four Track ' News for June.
