Washington. sept S.-The state
department has information that con
ferences are still being held between
, leaders Of the Cuban government
forces and commercial interests at
Havana, which have led to exchanges
with leaders of revolutionary forces
with view to bringing about q
peace understanding.
This announcement is made in the
face of press dispatches indicating
that the insurrection is spreading and
that the revolutionary forces are be-
coming more active in their cam
paigns.
If the state department has re-
ceived advices from Mr.. Sleeper, the
United States charge at Havana, con-
cerning the movements of troops in
Cuba it has determined on policy of
silence.
It is stated that Intervention has
not been asked. nor has its possibility
been considered, yet orders have been
issued through the war and state de-
partments for close observance and
report of all conflicts between the
opposing forces on the island.
No announcement has been made as
to the purpose to which this informa-
tion may be put; in fact. officials are

The Columbus, O., Sun of yester-

former Richmond man:
That Tupper Townsend is a we'll

fact that a letter addressed merely to
Tupper Townsend, with no street adj
dress, no city, town, county, or state
indicated on the envelope, has been
delivered by the United States postal
authorities to the man for whom it
was intended.
'Tupper Townsend thus appears in

Indiana, and was delivered without
delay to the clerk of the Neil house in
this city.
"One of Tupper Townsend's rela-
tives in Richmond. Ind, will soon be

ACTION WHICH CAUSES HIS
ARREST LAST NIGHT.

Eugene Bowen, claiming Caledonia,
Wis, as his home and who since his
arrival in Richmond two weeks ago,
has been working at the East End
livery barn, was arrested by Officer
Vogelsong last night, pending an in
vestigation of a check transanction
Bowen gave a check to the owner of
the Three-Cent Lunch room, which
aroused suspicion. The check calls for
SIS, is made payable to E. Bowen.
and is signed by F. j. Hough 1t is
drawn on the Michigan Trust Com
pany of Grand Rapids, Mich.
Last night when Bowen went to the
Three-Cent lunch room, which is op-
Grated by Mrs. Anna Runge, and ask
ed for something to eat, he was told
to wait q moment. Mrs. Runge ran
out of the back door and over to Po-
lice headquarters, where she report
ed the matter. In the meantime Bow
en- started to leave and at the door
ran into Officer Vogelsong who took
him into custody.
Claims Check is Good.
Bowen Naims the check is not a for
gerry and says it calls for the equiva-
lent of sum which Hough owed him
and who, on being written to about
the debt, sent the check in payment.
Bowen gave the check to Mrs. Runge
last Tuesday and told her to get the
money on it, for which he would give
her tw\ dollars as commission. Mrs.
Runge held the check couple of
days. In the meantime Bowen had
borrowed in cash and had secured
lunches on credit.
Mrs Runge took the check to To-
cal bank to have it cashed and was
told that they would have to ascertain
whether il was good before they gave
any money on it. The check was
sent to the Michigan Trust Company
who sent it back with the word:
This party has no account with us"
Bowen persisted, even after his ar
rest in saying that the check is good.
The police will investigate fully and
in the meantime Bowen will be held.
