 Consideration has been given the question of sending the entire Atlantic fleet. under command of Rear Admiral Evans. to Cuban waters. The situ- ation In Cuba is such that the gov ernment may be forced to order these vessels south.
 There is no secrecy on the part of the army officers on duty a the war department that plans for a campaign have not only been discussed, but have actually been decided These steps have been taken because the admins tration does not desire to lose any time in sending troops to Cuba to maintain peace and protect life and property If the situation becomes so acute as to demand action on the part of the government
 It is stated in the most emphatic terms by Acting Secretary Bacon that there has been no request on the part of the Cuban government for interven- tion by the United States. But official advice has been received by tne de- partment that the revolutionary forces are conducting their war upon the very gates of Havana, and that the capture of President Palma and the members of his cabinet is among the possibilities of the next few days.

CHARGES ; DEATHS

Coroner Blames Drivers Careless

Glyndon, MINI.

Special to Tho Journal
.Glyndon, Mimi, April 12.-Coroner
Kaess. as result Of his investigation
into the deaths yesterday Of Mrs. Peter
II. Anderson, her daughter, Mrs. Claus
Anderson and the latter,s 7-year-old
daughter, which resulted from an ex-
plosion of gasolene, charges that the
Standard Oil company, thru local en-
employee, is to blame for the tragedy.
G. G. Tracy, the merchant from whom
the oil was purchased, says he gave two
orders to the Standard Oil company
one to fill tank at the store with ksro-
sene and the other to fill one at the
mill with gasolene. It is alleged that
the driver mixed the orders, and made
the deliveries just the reverse. Later
the mistake was noticed, and Tracy was
notified not to sell any oil till all was
pumped out, as mistake had been
made.
It is stated the oil at the store tank
was emptied, but in careless manner,
much of the gasolene having been left
in the tank, where it was filed with
kerosene. It was from this stock the
Andersons were supplied. =
Further developments are expected
after the inquest.

Chicago, April 12.-After having had
his stomach cut away and his severed
intestines connected, Charles H. Gale
Of South Norwalk, Conn.,, is seemingly
on the road to health after ten years Of
sickness and pain. During the past
decade Mr.. Gale has been treated for
appendicitis, ulcers, cancer, Indigestion
and many other complaints.
Two weeks since Mr.. Gale was taken
to the Seney hospital in Brooklyn,
where he was starved and overfed al
ternately, to watch results, but neither
these experiments nor the X-rays re-
vealed anything. As a last course his
stomach was removed entirely.
The experts were astonished to find
that the outlet of the stomach to the
small intestine was no larger than the
point Of a pencil and all of the food
digested had to pass thru this. The
result was wonderful collection Of
foreign objects in the stomach.
Every seed that Mr.. Gale had eaten
since boy was there, and many other
things. while the stomach had been dis
tended until it was more than twice
the normal size. Half Of it was cut
away, and the intestine was connected
in a new place, and now Mr.. Gale is
improving rapidly, with every indica-
ton Of having perfect health in the
future.
