The CUBAN REVOLT.

After a protracted conference with
Secretary of War Taft, Acting Secre-
tary Of State Bacon and Secretary OF
the Navy Bonaparte, President Roose-
welt addressed an important communl-
cation to Cuba and arranged to send
Secretary Taft and Bacon to that
island to make thorough investigation
Of conditions there and lend their IN
fiuence to restore peace.
Secretary Taft and Assistant Secre-
tary of State Robert Bacon left Wash
ington over the Atlantic coast line for
Tampa, Fla, to embark on naval
vessel there for Havana, in accord
ance with the instructions OF Pres1-
dent Roosevelt, to ascertain the exact
political situation.
The 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 stated, is that 1t
may be able to say by the time Secre-
tary of War Taft and Acting Secretary
of State Bacon arrive that peace al
ready has been secured and that
therefore there is no need for the
American governments intervention,
either to restore peace or insure per-
manent tranquility.
Lively interest is manifested in
Paris over President Roosevelts de-
cision to send Secretary of War Taft
and Acting Secretary of State Bacon
to Cuba, and many of the newspapers
jump to the conclusion that this will
sound the knell of Cuban independ-
ence.
The extra session of the Cuban con-
gress called by President Palma COM
pleted at one sitting the business for
which it was summoned, namely, the
granting to President Palma of the
fullest power not already constitution
ally possessed by the executive for car
rying on the war, including the right
to appropriate any public funds for
war purposes.
The sailors landed from the cruiser
Denver at Havana have been ordered
to return Immediately to the vessel,
save for a small guard for the Ameri-
can legation. The landing was not
made under instructions from Wash
ington.
Recruits rush to the Cuban revolu-
tionists as the result of President
Palma's threat of policy of agrees
sion.

Prepared for the Worst.
The decision to have a force of q
600 fighting men ready to set foot on
Cuban soil at any time the situation
demands their presence there illus
trates the alarm with which the gov
eminent views the situation in Cuba.
1t was for the purpose of preparing
to meet the worst that President
Roosevelt, who has been keeping his
hand at the helm in the Cuban mat
ter, called Secretary of War Taft from
his vacation, and summoned Secretary
of the Navy Bonaparte and Acting
Secretary of State Bacon to Oyster
Bay for a conference.

Washington.-The presidents deci-
sion to send Secretary Taft and AS

Cuba was not unexpected, although
official and diplomatic circles recog-
nize in it move calculated to hasten
the solution of the problem.
The real object of Secretary Taft's
mission to Cuba, of course, cannot be
explained by anyone in Washington.
In official circles, however, the belief
is expressed that President Roosevelt
desires to secure from absolutely de-

A NERVOUS. WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained IS Pounds and
Recovered Her Health by Taking
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

General debility is term that covers
a multitude of cases where there is no
acute disease, yet the patient continues
to lose strength and the doctors medi-
cines have no apparent effect. This is.
the decline that leads to death If means
are not found to check it. In a great
majority of cases DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will check it and restore health and
strength because they actually make new
blood and so send renewed vitality to
every organ and tissue of the body.
Mrs. S. A. Green, whose address is
Box 30, r. f. d. No. 4, Franklin, Ca,
says: "For three and half years /

months and was under the physicians

though took great deal Of medicine,
nothing seemed to give me strength. AT
times my stomach hurt me something
fearful and my head often troubled me.

did not refresh me.

Pink Pills, weighed but 104 pounds.

Havana.-After consultation with
the leading men who are under arrest
here charged with conspiracy, and
emissaries of the revoutionists the
government has announced the indefi-
mite stoppage of all hostiIities on its
part with the object of making peace
before Secretary of War Taft arrives
or the United States intervenes.
Much doubt is expressed as. to
whether the rebels will accept peace
proposals which do not include cleo
tons for places of senators ard con-
gressmen elected last December.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Friday night addressed
to the Cuban people what practically
is an ultimatum.
He declared that permanent peace
must at once be arranged in the island
or else the United States will inter
vene by armed force under the author
ity OF the Platt amendment.
This was it's obvious and clear cut
intent of a letter automatically ad-
dressed to Senior Quesada, the Cuban
minister, who is now in Lisbon, but
which, the president in the body of the
letter states, really is intended for the
Cuban government and the Cuban
people. In accordance with this spe-
cific purpose the president says has
directed the letters immediate pub
lication."

under the broad instruction given
him by the navy department to use
his best Judgment in an emergency.
The American sailors were landed
after a consultation with Jacob Sleep-
er, the United States charge in Ha-
vana, and President Palma. who ac-
cording to Commander Colwelrs dis
patch to the navy department. ex.
pressed grave doubts as to the ability
of the Cuban government to protect
American interests.
To Observe Neutrality.
The entire incident. it is pointed
out, was in keeping with the presi.
dents determination to preserve strict
neutrality, and it is the purpose to do
no more than protect American inter.
ests and afford an asylum to officials
of the Palma government if requested
to do so, until the Cuban congress,
which assembled to-day, asks for
American intervention.
1t will then be time to meet that
issue, but for the present the purpose
of an American armed force in Cuban
waters is to afford to American inter
ests that degree of safety which the
Cuban government seems unable to
give.

to the attention of the Cuban govern

point has been reached where the
Cuban government admits it's inability

for that reason is sending force of
