business in China, and to that end
to begin by rendering valueless the

Order Was Cabled from Washing
ton to Withdraw All Except a
Small Legation Guard.

OYSTER Bay, Sept. 19.-Grave i'm
rortance is attached to the Cuban
trouble by President Roosevelt, and
4 is evident he intends that the
United States shall be ready for de-
cisiye action, for he has ordered Sec
retary of War Taft and Acting Sec
retary of State Bacon to Havana.
Secretary Taft and Assistant Secre-
tarv Bacon left Washington on Sun
day and went by rail to Key West.
There they embarked in warship
and proceeded directly to the Cuban
capital. 1t is inferred the President
wishes to obtain information at first
hand through the Departments Of
War and State before settling on any
policy with regard to Cuban condi-
tons.
No one has authority to speak for
the President, but it is believed by
those who are familiar with his
