Crowds Were Wild to See Mrs. Long
worth


worth.
With panic threatened in a crowd
estimated at $4,000 people surging
about the stand erected in the capitol
grounds at Columbus, Ohio, frantic to
secure a glimpse of Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, the presidents daughter,
the exercises arranged for the dedica-
ton of the Mckinley monument were
suddenly terminated the other after
noon after the statue of the martyred
president had been hurriedly unveiled
by Mrs. Longworth.
Mrs. Longworth had an exciting ex-
perience in escaping from the crowd
at the capitol. From the speakers
stand she and the party went through
window overlooking the platform
into the governors office, but they
were scarcely inside when the people
began to surge through the doors.
Then they attempted to reach an au-
tomobile which was waiting for them
on the street, but once outside they
were cought in a surging crowd. Find
ing no immediate avenue of escape,
they fought their way out OF the cap
itol grounds and across Broad street
into the Outlook building. There they
remained until carriage was secur-
ed, and the police cleared way to it
and they were driven to the hotel.
Later they took train for Cincinnati.

Blewup Buildings
In Havana

Havana. Sept. ia violent explo-
sion occurred here Monday morning
and wrecked two brick buildings. Six
persons were killed and many wounded.
No details Of the cause are yet at
hand. An investigation is being made.
The explosion is thought to be the work
of inoendiaries- The. buildings at once
caught fire. Dead and wounded are
still being taken from the wreckage.
The buildings were insured.
Some alcohol was in storage in one
of the buildings, but the force of the
explosion causes the belief that DELHI

SPOKANE iNTERsTArE~EAlR.
Race Program VIII Have Many Novel;
ties-lndIans Take Ps-t.

Manager Cosgrove not oniy Is put
ting on better race program at the
Spokane fair this year, which opens
September "a, but has also added
more fun features for the track. One
of the most amusing of these will be
the packing race for Indians. In this
race four sacks of flour win be placed
on the ground. A squaw and buck
working together will pack a sack of
flour ON a regular pack saddle on a
horse and wll make the trip once
around the fair grounds, unloading the
-four again at the starting point.
There will be four pairs entered in
this race. A prize will be gwen 10
the squaw and buck making the best
time. The Indians get excited in this
race and the whole procedure is
laughable.
Another race, somewhat similar,
will be given by the squaws. They
will pitch their tepees on the track
and at the signal, each squaw takes
down her tepee, loads it on her horse,
makes a circuit of the track once, I'M
loads and pitches the tepee again at
the starting point. The sauaw who
is quickest gain the prize. There
also will be a number of squaw and
buck races. Many Flathead Indians
are coming from Montana.

FOR PEACE IN CUBA
STRONG EFFORTS ARE BEING
MADE BY GOVERNMENT.
Trying to Avoid American InterVen-
ton Either to Restore Peace or In
sure Permanent calmness-FoI-
lowing Advice Contained In Presi-
dent RooseveIt's Letter

f1dfdud, Oepl- LINE government
is making final strenuous efforts to
restore peace in Cuba and thus avoid
any kind OF American Intervention
The object of these endeavors, it is
said. is that it may be able to say by
the time Secretary of War Taft and
Mr.. Bacon arrive that peace has been
already restored; therefore there Is no
need for American Intervention either
tranquility. Members of the govern
ment informed the Associated Press
that they are making efforts in accord
ance with the advice contained in Pres
ident Roosevelt's letter; that they have
no objection to the friendly assistance
of the United States, but that they be-
lieve they can settle between the gov
eminent and revolutionists without in
reference. At least, they say they
are making an attempt to accomplish
this end unaided, and with fair pros
poets of success.
Palma's Decree
This is the latest phase of rapidly
changing situation that developed
when an extraordinary gazette was is
sued containing a decree signed by
President Palma. The decree follows
"All campaign operations are sus-
pended, and in consequence the gov
eminent forces will act only on the
defense throughout. The secretary of
the interior will issue all necessary
orders"
Secretary Montalvo and General
Manocal first visited Jose Miguel
Gomez and others of the alleged con-
spirators in the prison and found them
willing to cooperate in securing peace.
The basis of peace was not diseased
in any detail, but Secretary Montalvo
returned to the palace and urged Pres
ident Palma to consider the matter.
The result of this conference was
the issuance of the decree suspending
government operations.
Andrade Discusses Terms
General Freyre Andrade, when asked
about the terms discussed at the con-
ference, said that the matter had not
got far enough along to discuss actual
peace terms. The conferees had only
touched them informally, he declared.
but one thing was certain, that the
government would never agree to an
nual elections. and that contention
must be eliminated from the claims of
the revolutionists.
The general said that the govern
ment appreciated the friendly efforts
of the United States, and would avail
itself of them if it's own efforts were
unsuccessful, but that naturally it pre-
ferred to settle the trouble without
Intervention.
Since the publication of President
Rooseyelt's letter here it has been ex-
pected that the United States would be
strong factor in arranging for Cuba
some better form of government and
a reduction in tariffs which would
