POLICE PULLED A CORN DOCTOR
Who Enjoyed a Glorious Spree on
Avenue.

Avenue.
A white corn doctor from "away up
narth" got drunk on Cotton avenue
yesterday and, selecting a bunch OF
negro women, went in for spree but
landed in the police barracks. The
male contingent resented the arrest
and became so abusive and profane
that Chief Feagin had him strung up
by handouts to the grated doors of his
cell ere he cooled down and consented
to behave.

Varied Opinions on the United States s
Attitude Toward Cuba.

PARIS, Sept. 16.-Lively interest 10 mani.
tested here over President Roosevelt's de.
cision to send Secretary OF War Taft and
Acting Secretary Of State Bacon to Cuba
and many of the newspapers jump TO the con
clusion that this will sound the knell of
Cuban independence. In responsible circles
however, the right OF the United States un.
der the treaty with Cuba, TO restore order is
recognized, but there is disposition TO
impute 10 the Washington Government a de.
sire to seize the occasion to annex the island.
Nevertheless, it is thought by some persons
that il tho wise counsel of President
Roosevelt is followed and the rival factions
temporarily bury the hatchet there will be
early recurrence of the instruction which
will compel ultimately annexation.
The Temps, which frequently reflects tbs
views OF the foreign office, says that while
they are injured by tho commercial treaties
Cuba has negotiated with other powers, un~
doubtedly hope tho present imbrogho will re-
suit in annexation, the position OF tho Gov
welt is man OF honor who will keep his
word says the Temps. He gave liberty
to Cuba, and will not take the first oppor
tunity To withdraw it. Beside, he is a man
OF experience and knows what possession of
the Philippines cost, and continues TO cost
the United States. Cubans as citizens or
the unexpected happens it is safe to affirm
therefore that America does not contemplate
laying violent hands on the island, but only
intends to safeguard American interests and
demonstrate to the Cubans that it will be a
matter OF hours il it desires to impose It's
will. IT probably will require the appear
ance OF American warships TO induce the
Cubsns to accept President Roosevelt's OK
cellcnt advice. But, unfortunately, a settle
mcnt- of the present difficulties will not be
definite md the Cubans, who during four
years have surprised Europe by their pros.
perity and tranquility, viii return to their
old vice. Such relapses are rarely isolated.

Cuban Government Has Been
Aroused by Prospects of
American Intervention.
OFFICIAL DECREE HAS
SUSPENDED H0STILITIES
Sudden Change in Sentiment
Has Caused Surprise Among
Citizens of Havana.

HAVANA. Sept, 16.-The Government
this evening is making final strenuous ef-
forts TO restore peace In Cuba and thus
avoid any kind of American intervention,
The object OF these cndcavors, 1t is said,
is that 1t may be able TO say by the time
Secretary OF War Taft and Acting SeCre-
tary of State Bacon arrived that peace
has already resulted. that therefore there
Is no need for American Intervention,
either TO restore peace or TO insure per-
mauent tranquility.
Members Of the Government informed
the Associated Press that they are max
ing the efforts In accordance with the
advice contained in President Roosevelt S
letter; that they have no objection to
the friendly assistance OF the United
States in the matter IL 1t becomes neces-
sary, but that they believe they can set
tie it between the Government and reyo-
lutionists without the necessity OF any
intervention. Al least, they say. they
are making an attempt 10 accomplish
their end unaided. and with fair pros
poets of success.
This is the latest phase OF rapidly
changing situation that developed late
this afternoon when an extraordinary ga
zette was issued containing a decree
signed by President Palma on the recon-
mendation Of the Secretary OF Public
Works, Montalvo. The decree follows:
All Hostilities Suspended.
"All campaign operations are sus-
pended, and In consequence the Govern
ment forces Will act only on the defensive
throughout the republic. The Secretary
OF the Interior will issue all the neces-
sary orders for the execution OF this de-
cree"
The decree caused great surprise. as
IL was believed TO signify change of
heart by the Government officials, who
for the past two days have been strongly
against taking up peace overtures with
the emissaries OF tho reyolutionists.
The Associated Press learns that to-
days action had its beginning by Gan.
Mcnocals renewed effort in visiting Sec
retary Montalvo and urging him to make
the strongest possible endeavor to in
duce President Palma 10 comply with
President Roosevelt's advice and avoid
the consequences OF intervention by re-
questing truce and endeavoring to have
the Cubans themselves come to an agree
menI.
Since the publication Of President
Rooseyelts letter here It has been ex-
pected that the United States would be
a strong factor in arranging for Cuba
some better form OF government and a
reduction in tariffs which would bring the
cost Of living TO reasonable basis
Although the opinion on the subject
is very vague tonight, the general convic-
tion seems TO prevail that Secretary Taft
will take a friendly hand in the negotia-
lions for peace.
No other encounter than that resulting
in the capture of Guanatsy was reported
today.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 16.-In regard to
the benefits 10 be derived by the farmers of
the United States from the free alcohol law

ultimately.
Perhaps the best way TO accurately gauge
the free alcohol movement In Germany win
bo by consulting few Of the government
crop statistics as furnished the American
government by Alexander NJ Thackara,
United States Consul General at Berlin, who
has been given access to the German official

tho alcohol made in the German Empire comes
from potatoes, This is a fact susceptible
of exact proof from the German internal rove

pay tax And tho sren devoted TO the
cultivation OF potatoes has been increasing
from year to year at a steady ratio until
last year 121a per cent Of all tho arabic lands
in Germany was devoted 10 this crop.
This one fact comes near telling the whole
story, especially II taken with the record
statement that last year Germany had sIe5.
444 acres planted to potatoes, yielding PIT
bushels TO the ncre or total yield Of Its
570,6T5 bushels. while in tho United States
tho total yield of potatoes for that year was
only s22,sao,3 400 bushels. And yet tho aver
age price Of potatoes in Germany last year.
WAS 27.6 cents per bushel, which it must be
conceded, left some money in tho pockets of
the German farmers, about half billion dol
lars.
