On TO Havana.

teryention by United states Is
Expected.
CRUISER rs OF LITTLE AVAIL.

Havana, Sept. 13.-liavana today
faces the gravest menace In It's his
tory. Insurgents, In overwhelming
numbers are advancing on the capt
tai from the south and west, and. II
is said, an attack may be made IN a
few hours. That President Palma's
government is doomed is the general
opinion.
The arrival Of the United States
cruiser Denver In the harbor has
FASTENED the crisis Instead OF as
sistlng Palma, IT is believed 1t will be
his undoing
The cruiser may be able to offer
Palma a place OF refuge. however 1t
Is believed this is one purpose Of
dispatchlng It here. Intervention by
the United States is now regarded as
the only logical outcome OF the strug-
gle.
That this Is close at hand is indi-
NAitn ny TIE MI4Ndl VI Tue btuN'i
and the dispatch OF the Marietta TO
cionfugos. This has forced the hand
OF the insurgents to be in a good posi-
ton and they must capture the city
before the United States government
acts. This is why the in@rgent arm
les are rushing to Havana. lnsur-
gents also want to be in control Of
Cienfuegos before the Marietta ar
riyes.
General Castillo. with 5000 in
surgents. is camped 16 miles south
OF Havana. General Guerra's army
from Plnar del Rio province is NOV
ing toward the capital. Col. Ayalos'
loyal army is. stranded at Consola-
cion and cut on from Havana The
combined insurgen, armies are pre-
pairing to attack Havana when Guer-
ra arrives within striking distance.
The insurgents plan 10 establish a
provisional government with Senior
zacas as president. The insurgents
notified Clenfugos to remove the
women and children as an attack
is to be made.

tons and Money Stays in
Paducah.

away from the fall carnival at

time they have asked the public to
interest itself in their projects.

was seized to put the shows in good
shape. The committee did not en-
gage a carnival company TO come
here and take the big end of the gate
receipts. but secured various attrac-
lions under its own general manage
ment, selecting those which were con-
sidered best. A den of monster
snakes. the electric show. one Of the
best ever seen here. big vaudeville
and circus show under large tent,

site the grandstand.

ney Ross from acting today. Il was
suggested that the acting mayor APP

A BOOM IN FARMS.
Tide Of Immigration TO The West
Turns to Maryland.

With Governor Warlield emphasiz-
ing his often declared opinion that
one Of the best investments for money
was in Maryland farms BY buying
another large estate. the boom ia
farm lands in the FIRST State south
Of the Mason and Dixon line IS given
another impetus.
The effort TO hasten along immigra-
ton from other states which has been
made forsthe past Two months ~ A.
~ Irappe, secretary of the State Blu
reau of immigration, has been remark
ably successful in advertising the adj
vantages Of the state 10 farmers who
have gone to the Northwest from for
eign countries. That the hope or the
agricultural interests in Maryland lits
in the importation Of outside farm
labor and owners is often stated, and
that the state is making a systematic
effort TO induce worthy men 10 make
their homes here IS only an exploila-
tion of this idea.
Mr.. Trappe has Just returned from a
long trip in the Northwest. He is
greatly encouraged by the dissatisfac-
tion in many sections Of the West over
the use of rivers for irrigation at the
expense Of farmers further down the
streams. TO offset this the many
Mary land rivers and bays have been
used as good arguments and il is like

Very Good Gains.

Saturdays 5 game With Washington
College show that 81. John IS stead
lily improving. For the FIRST time
this year the regular back field of

ST. Johns had very little trouble in

donbtedly been still larger IL il Dad

be in thf game on Saturday.
Another very gratifying fact demon
strated to ST. John S rooters is that
they have a good goal-scoring man in
the person Of Bosley, who kicked two
field goals from placement in the last
game. While the angle at which the
goals were kicked was not hard one
il shows that the orange and black

tions on the strong Mt. Washington
