AMERICANS IN CUBA.
ARMED GUARD FROM u. S.
CRUISER is LANDED.
Action Is Taken at the Request OF
President Palma, Who Feared of
an UPRISING i'm Havana-Troops to
GuasI American Interests.

Precedent Palma, in moment OF
pants Thursday, asked for the protec-
ton Of American sailors and guns and
$50 men were landed from the cruiser
Denver. Commander Colwell of the
Denver and Mr.. Sleeper, the American
charge d'affaires. explain that the sail
ors were landed only to protect Ameri-
can interests. 1t is admitted, however.
that President Palma asked for protec-
ton, fearing an almost immediate at
tack on Havana from the rebels.
Later in the night Commander Col
well was shown a press dispatch from
Washington stating that the sailors
from the cruiser Denver had been or
dered to return. He said he believed
he had done right However. If, after
reaching an understanding of the situa-
ton, the Navy Department ordered the
return of the sailors on board ship, the
order would be carried out.
President Palma and his colleagues
in the government were in a state of
demoralized panic when they asked
that the sailors be landed. The rebels
were at the doors of the city and a
large body started to march on Ha-
vana. The report was current that
Pine Guerra, at the head of 5000 men,
would enter the city and that the popu.
lation would rise almost as Unit in
his behalf.
The administration already had lost
control of the entire island except GER
tain considerable towns. Havana was
isolated, as the wires were cut in every
direction. All railroads had suddenly
been brought to standstill. There
We're popular demonstrations every
where in favor of the revolution. Of
ficials were turning over towns to the
rebels and the defeat Of the Palma adj
ministration seemed inevitable. 1t was
these facts which led Palma to appeal
for American sailors.
The landing of the American force
was followed by an extraordinary Incl
dent. Commander Colwell was ap-
preached by an accredited emissary OF
Alfredo Zayas, president of the Liberal
party, and Gen. Loynaz Gel Castillo
commander of the insurgent forces in
Havana province, with signed offer
from each of the men named TO sur.
render their commands and hand owe,
their arms to Commander Colwell or
the sole condition that the United
States government through him guar
antec them fair and judicial trials.
Commander Colwell, accompanied by
Charge d'Affaires Sleeper, Immediately
carried the proposition to President
Palma. The President was immensely
pleased and asked Colwell IL he would
accept the surrenders. Commander Col

the President to communicate with The

STORY OF cUBA's STRIFE.
Present Conditions an the Island and
Causes Leading Thereto.


Causes Leading Thereto.
The present revolution in Cuba has set
the eyes of the world on that island and
the issues at stake are so important that
every American wants TO know the basic
facts which have resulted in the present
crisis, says writer in the New York
Times.
When Cuba was admitted into the FEM
lily of nations it was on the understanding
that she should abstain from the custom
immemorial in Latin-American countries
of indulging in revolutions and reyolts Ii
was stipulated that she should 'be good -
also that she should decide by the rules
and regulations tacitly in force and effect
in nations. pretending TO civilization. The
world did not take her unsupported word
for this pledge. The United States went
on her bond to keep the peace, and as
consequence there was inserted IN the
treaty of Paris a clause which is known
as "the Platt amendment" which gives
the United States government the right
to interfere in Cuban affairs at any time
when the peace and prosperity of Cuba
are threatened.
In any consideration of this Cuban
problem-and the people of the United
States will have TO consider it and settle
it, whether they wish 10 or not-there are
certain essential facts which must be kept
in mind.
In the first place, Cuba is too valuable
piece of property to be made perpet-
ual battlefield. Not in all the world is
there within reach of speedy development
so matchless an area of territory awaiting
the application of labor tempted by
money. Cuba has tillable area almost
il not quite equal to that of Jeva-Cuba
has a scattered population of perhaps
1,75O.OOO. Java supports a swarm of near
| ly 30,OOO,O00. Cuba Is inevitably destined
to become the agricultural Golconda of
the earth. and from her exhaustless soil
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1906-09-20

look to the United States for the protec-
ton pledged them.
The causes underlying the present 70.
volt in Cuba are various. In the first
place, her people are not immune from
that prediction of all Latin-Amarican
countries which makes them prefer an
appeal to arms rather than recourse to
the peaceful arbitration of the ballot box.
In the second place. too many of the
male inhabitants of Cuba of voting age
sesire to hold political or military po-
sitions, and there are not, and never
VIII be, enough paying positions to 60
around.
In the third place, there are several
thousand men on the island who have
been engaged in wars since they were
boys, and who do not know how to do
anything else and who do not care to
learn.
Ever since Columbus discovered Cuba
IL has been battlefield. For $50 years
prior to the Spanish-American war the
native Cubans and the negroes were
at almost constant warfare against the
Spanish authorities. Time and again.
until the record is tiresome, the island
was devastated. Sugar cane fields and
mills we'e burned, tobacco plantations
laid waste, and the land marked with
ruin from Capes Maisi to San Antonio.
Yet such was the natural productivity
of the soil that fortunes were made in
the intervals of peace, and billions of
wealth poured into Spain from the land
it misgovefned. Our war with Spain
was waged TO the purpose that the long
era of oppression, bloodshed and law
lessness should forever erd. In order
that we might be acquitted of any ma
tional ambition of new territory. we
freely permitted Cuba to attempt the
task and to assume the responsibilities
of self-government.
1t is probably true that there was
sharp practice and open fraud in the
!: last national election in Cuba. There
IS good reason to believe that Presi-
dent Palma of the Moderates is not
the choice of the majority of the quail
fed voters of the new republic, but it is
equally certain that an armed revolt
would have followed the election of any
Liberal candidate who might have been
named. There are scores of complica-
tions and jeaiousies which enter into this
problem. but they all tend to confirm the
one conclusion, and that is that the char
acter of the Cuban population is such as
to render the continued experiment Of
national self-government too hazardous
to be tolerated by the United States.
This is not the language of diplomacy.
but it expresses a truth which will be
recognized sooner or later
The Cuban Congress met In extraordi-
nary session Friday; bills prepared au-
thorize Palma to use S25,000.000 to sup
Iress the instruction and permit him
to suppress newspapers and deport for
eigners. Troops are being drawn into
Havana in expectation of rebel attack.

storage Battery Car Te.t.

A new electric storage battery passen
ger car. built for the Missouri and Kansa,
City interurban railway, started last Sun
day from Philadelphia, under its owr
power, for Kansas City. This car, which
was built by the Brill company Of Phila
delphia and the Strang gas electric o.
Hoboken, is driven by storage batteries
fed by dynamos operated by a gas engine
1t is designed TO run at an average speed
of fifty-five miles an hour. The Chicago

urban traffic, and fifteen are TO go to Bra
I'll. The car measures 81 feet . inches
being a combination smoker and passen
ger. with seating capacity for forty-tw'
people. 1t is expected that by using thi'
style of car the cost of railroad construc
tior may be reduced $4,000 mile and thu
operation in proportion.

UP GOES THE PRICE OF LIVING
Mint Director Says Era of High
Prices Is just Beginning.

There is general agreement on the prop
osition that the cost of living has reached
the point in this country where it is
pinching, but it is next TO impossible 10
get men to agree on the cause of the in
crease. 1t is a subject which the spell
binders will dilate upon in the fall cam.
paign. George E. Roberts, director of
the mint, predicts that the era of high
prices is only beginning and that the cost
of living will go higher.
Even at the present excessive prices
he said, 1--WE are not back to the aver
age cost of living twenty years ago. Liv-
ing is higher than il was ten years ago.
but it is not as costly as it was in the
middle SOS. This is clearly shown by
official tables on the average prices. Our
people are complaining over compari-
son of present prices with those of the
panic years, when the whole country was
on the bargain counter. 1t is not fair TO
compare years of relative prosperity.
when everybody has work and money 10
spend, with years of universal depression.
when, no matter how low prices may have
been, considerable portion of the people
was without employment and, therefore.
unable 10 take advantage of cheap prices.
Everybody has work in this country
now or can get it. They are all buying
things, and this in itself maintains high
er level Of prices. The consumptive
demand is out of all comparison to what
it was during the years of low prices.
Our people are eating more and wearing
more and better clothes than ever before.
They are travelling more and spending
money in every way freer than at any
other time. Our exports, it must be re-
membered also, practically have doubled
in the last ten years The pressure on
every product is enormously greater and
it is natural that prices should be better
sustained"

STATUE TO M'KINLEY.
The $4,000 Memorial TO Martyr
President Is Unveiled.

President Is Unveiled.
People from all over Ohio were present
at the unwilling of the $4,000 bronze
statue of the late President Mckinley,
which faces High street from the west
front OF the State capitol at Columbus.
The principal figure of the thousands of
persons who packed the streets and the
capitol grounds were Mrs. Alice Roose-
velt-Longworth, daughter of the Presi-
dent, who unveiled the statue. The two
principal orators of the occasion were
Justice William r. Day of the United
States Supreme Court and United States
Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia.
Gen. r. B. Brown of GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
head of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and Gen. Joseph W. Kay Of New York,
past national commander OF the Union
Veterans Legion, and Gov. Harris also
made addresses.
Elaborate preparations were made for
the dedication, but there was no ostenta.
tious display or formal parade. An i'm
mense open stand, seating 1000 people
handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting, was erected along the entire
west front of the capitol building, and II
was occupied by distinguished Buckeyes
from all over Ohio.
Mrs. Longworth and her immediate
party occupied an especially constructed
stand jutting out from the center of the
general stand, and she could thus be cas-
lily seen by all. The wide space of ground
| between her and the statue was packed
with people.
The exercises, held on the anniversary
of McKinleys death, opened with an over
ture by Neddermeyer's band. followed by
song by the Republican Glee Club. The
Rev. Washington GLADDEN. offered prayer
and Gov. Harris, as president of the day
delivered short speech. Justice Day fol
lowed.
