into Il pulp
The accident happened just after
the first section of the No passenger
train had pulled in from the east and
while a crowd was still waiting on the
station platform for the arrival of tn"
second section carrying local passen-
gers. Half dozen people trainmen,
station employees and others, saw the

cry of horror went up as the nature
of the accident was realized.
The mail car of the southbound pas
senger train was being backed up
against Il baggage ear on No. I, the
latter ear to be transferred to the lei

Once Take Similar Action,

Washington, Sept. 16.-Cuba will
undoubtedly hold the interest of the
world during the week to come. The
visit of Secretaries Taft and Bacon to
the island republic, with the avowed
purpose of bringing about solution
of the trouble which already has re-
suited in bloodshed and commercial
disruption in Cuba, is recognized on
all sides as an event of the first I'M
portance in world affairs. Preceded
accompanied and followed By for
midable land and sea fighting force,
the representatives of President
Roosevelt will reach the Cuban capi-
tai early in the week and the proph-
ecy has been made in official circles
that their work will be completed
within seven days.
Within that limited space Of time
it is expected that it will have been
definitely determined whether an am
sicable settlement of the conflict IN
the island can be brought about WITH
out further Intervention on the part
of the United Saes.
1t is probable that on the success or
failure of the mission entrusted TO
Secretaries Taft and Bacon depends
the immediate future of the new re-
public-wh ether it shall remain as al
present, a sovereign state, or shali
come under the active possession OF
the United states for n time at least

PALMA ANXIOUS TO
HEAD OFF INTERVENTION

Havana, Sept. 16.-The government
this evening is making final strenuous
efforts to restore peace in Cuba ana
thus avoid any kind of American in~
tervention. The object of these en-"
deaVors. 1t is said, is that 1t may be
able TO say by the time Secretary OF
war Taft and Acting Secretary Bacon
arrive that peace already has been
secured and that. therefore, there Is
no need for the American govern
ment's intervention, either to restore
peace or insure permanent tranquil
ity. :,
A member of the government in
formed the Associated Press that they
are making strenuous efforts in ac--
cordance with the advice contained
i'm President Rooseyelts letter, that
they have no objection to the friendly
assistance of the United States In the
matter if il becomes necessary, put
they believe they can settle 1t between
the government and the revolutlonists
without the necessity of any interVeh-
ton. AT least, they say, they are
making an attempt to accomplish
this end unaided, and with fair pros
poets of success.
This is the latest phase of rapidly
changing situation that developed late
this afternoon when an extraordinary
gazette was issued containing decree
signed by President Palma on recon- ;
mendation of the secretary of pubic
works, Montalvo.
