land. The situation developed so rap
idly that it was only a few days after
the landing Of the American peace
commissioners in Cuba that the de
ciSiou was made to re-esta blish Amer
lean authority in the island. The army
and navy officers had had but little
time to prepare for such a movement
or troops and vessels of war as be
came necessary, yet the emergency
found them ready for the task in hand
There was no delay in sending war
ships and marines aud biuejackets to
Cuban waters, and the moment 1t was
known that soldiers, too, would be
needed orders were given for the regi-
ments to be on the move mobilization
was begun, transports were provided
and cmbarkation of troops proceeded
With the utmost promptitude.
When the brigade Of $50 marines
under Major Wendell G. Neville was
landed In Havana and conveyed by
trolley cars to Camp Columbia the
movement was accomplished with such
precision that no hitch of any kind oc-
CURED, and the "webfooted soldiers
were stationed at their post of duty al
most before the Cubans knew what
had happened. When President Roose-
velt telegraphed Acting Secretary of
War Oliver. Arrange for 5000 troops
to start for Cuba as soon as possible"
the acting secretary was able to wire
Secretary Taft at Havana shortly aft
erward, Troops now moving" and to
add that he expected to complete the
shipment of the entire force in ten days
The difference between these condi-
tons and those which prevailed when
Cuba was first occupied by American
forces in 1898 suggests that our army
and navy have learned much from
their experiences Of the past eight
years in Cuba the Philippines and
China and that much benefit has re-

TARIFF REVISION
KILLED BY PAYNE
Writes Mccall Nothing Can
Be Done This Session.
SEES NO NECESSITY FOR 1T
House Committee on Ways and Means,
Majority Leader Says, Agrees
With Him.

Tariff changes will not materialize AT
the hands OF the Fifty-ninth Congress.
according to a calm and dispassionate
pronOuncement by Serene L. Payne
Chairman of the Committee on Ways
and Means, the body whose duty II
would be to change the tariff If such
action should come to pass
Mr. Payne made the assertion of no
tariff changes in letter to Representa-
tive Samuel w. Mccall of Massachu-
setts, who had been appointed to call
the matter to Mr.. Payne's attention IN
behalf of the Massachusetts people and
the Massachusetts Congressional dele
cation.
In reply 20 Mr.. McCall's letter ask
ing that the changes be made In the
present tariff schedules as required by
The changes in conditions in certain
sections of the country, Mr.. Payne re-
piled that. while he was in perfect SYM
pathy with the promise in the Repub
ncan platform to make tariff changes
as they were demanded, he was con-
WINGED that the changes were not re-
Quired at the present time.
Although he was careful to state that
his letter was merely the expression of
a personal opinion, Mr.. Payne said ne
had reason TO believe that his Views
were the views of a majority of the
Committee on Ways and Means.
It is generally understood that MI
Payne's position is also the position of
The Speaker of the House.
Tariff revision is doomed for this
