REBELS NOT FRIGHTENED
Secretary Taft Sends Gloomy Mess
age to President.

Secretary Taft has sent a gloomy
message to President Roosevelt, say
ing that private reports received by
him from the interior are that a state
bordering upon anarchy prevails
throughout almost the entire island,
exception being made of the sections
on the coast.
The arrival at Havana of three of
the largest United States battleships,
the Louisiana and the Virginia, and
two cruisers, the Cleveland and the
Tacoma, in addition to those already
there, has had little effect on the in
surgents in the field, and when the
leaders of the revolution were ap-
plised of the big squadron now in
Cuban waters they greeted the in
formation with Spanish expressions
to the effect that they cannot come
to the bush"
1t is known that Secretary Taft
has decided absolutely not to treat
with armed rebel forces. This taken
to mean that American Intervention
and American occupation must in
evitably follow.

WHEAT CROP BEATS RECORD
Cereal Harvest of 1906 One of the
Greatest Ever Produced.

The London Economist, in a long
review of the wheat harvest this year,
asserts that ''the worlds cereal har-

of the greatest ever produced" 1t
remarks that oats alone. among the
cereals in England, seem likely 10

In most of the countries of Cont
mental Europe the harvest is a good
one. The wheat crop is above the
average in the great producing pro-
vinces in the north of France, but it
has suffered from drought in the
south and west. 1t is thought that
France will need to import very lit
tie, if any, wheat. Spain has reaped
a good harvest generally, while Ger
many has good crops of barley and
oats, as well as OF wheat and rye.
According to the latest official esti-
mate, Austria Hungary will produce
a much larger wheat crop this year
than last. From Russia reports vary
greatly. The winter wheat crop has
been officially reported to be a good

crop, and Sorvia and Bulgaria have

The Canadian wheat harvest on the

ant one. In Australia the crops,

ards of the spring and summer seas

DYNAMITE SKATERS TOWN
Twelve Killed and Many Injured
by Explosion.
REPORT HEARD FOR 20 MILES
Property Loss viii Reach Million,
While Many Who Escaped
Death Are Terribly Manned.

Twelve deaths, the injuring of
scores of other persons and $500, 600
damage to property were caused at
Jellico, Tenn, when a a load OF
dynamite standing on a track neal
the Southern railway depot exploded
with a report that was heard for 20
miles.
Buildings were shattered in the
business section of the town and
nearly every piece of glass within a
radius of one mile of the scene was
broken.
The explosion occurred at s o'clock
in the morning. The freight car, one
belonging to the Pennsylvania rail
road lines, contained $50 boxes, or
10000 pounds Of high explosives,
consigned to the Rand Powder Com
pany at Clearfeld, Tenn.
Two causes are assigned for the
explosion. One is that three parties
were shooting at a mark on the car
and that a bullet entered the car and
caused the explosion. The other is
that while the car was standing OF a
side track a carload of pig iron was
switched against it, and that the i'm
pact caused the explosion.
The dead are: George Atkins, John
Cook, Walter Rodgers. John Gordon,
James Sharp, James Lovette, Ida
Kayne, James Reynolds, John Hoch-
ma and Joseph Sellers.
N,c body remains unidentified,
making the total dead -.
There is a bare possibly that other
bodies may be recovered from the
ruins of buildings, but this is hardly
probable. B. o. Baird, the Mayor Of
the city, is among the injured.
