MEETING AT OYSTER BAY 1he Prssidelt and Cabinet VIII Thlesh Out the Cuban
 Affair
SITUATION LOOKS SERIOUS

Oyster Bay, N. r.. Sept 14.-It was stated at the executive office here to-day that Secretary Taft would reach Oyster Bay on the 1920 train.
 Secretary Bonaparte arrived on the 10:ll train and Acting-Secretary of State Bacon comes in his automobile. The president intends to thoroughly go over the Cuban situation with the heads of the state, war and navy de- partments, and the gathering to-day assumes more the nature of regu- lar Friday cabinet meeting than has taken place since the presidents sO- jOurn in Oyster Bay this summer.
 It was announced at the executive office this morning that the landing of marines in Havana yesterday was intended only as guard to the American legation in that city and not as step toward restoring peace in the island republic, or as a guard to President Palma's place. While 1t is maintained that the course of the American administration in Cuba is to be most conservative, this 1t is said, does not preclude a thorough preparedness on the part of the United States to take any action which may become imperative by req son of conditions on the island.
 On arriving here Secretary Bona parte said he had been called to Oyster Bay by the president. he sup posed, to talk over the Cuban situa- tion. The president should know the number of naval vessels that were available should occasion arise to use them.
 The secretary said the public re- ports made the situation look serious at least to Americans who have capi- tai invested in the island.
 Acting-Secretary of State Bacon said he had nothing to add to the news he gave out in Washington yester- day regarding the landing and with drawal of the marines. It is under stood that Postmaster General Cortel- you, who is at Huntington lodge, a short distance from Sagamore Hill will also participate in the confer ence to-day.
 United States senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, members of the senate committe on Cuban rela- tons. will also be a guest of Presi- dent Roosevelt to-day and may take part in the conference.

EXCITEMENT 0N THE ' B0URSE IN FRANCE Caused By ! sRuuor That S15.000.O00 Of Flance's Gold Was Coming
 to This County
AN OFFICIAL DENIAL MADE
Bank of France Refuses Absolutely to Allow Its Gold to Come to
 This Country.

Paris, Sept IA Rumors that the Bank of France had agreed to per nit the export of $16,OO0,Ooo in gold for the relief of the New York money market having caused dis quietude on the Bourse, the follow ing semi-official statement in behalf of the bank has been made:
 "These rumors are false. The bank of France has refused abso- lute, on every occasion, to allow gold to leave for that destination. It is possible, however, that the bank of France, owing to the rise in the rate of exchange in London and in the event of Egyptian requirements be- coming pressing, will export gold to London, but that such movement would necessitate a rate of exchange of 25.20. sF

Widows Counsel Says Any Action on
 Her Part is Unlikely.

San Francisco, Sept 14.-There will be no contest of the will of Hermann Oelrichs in this state. nor will any legal proceedings be taken here to interfere with the probate of that document in New York.
 Mrs Theresa Fair Oelrichs, the widow, is authority for this state ment.
 Mrs OelricEs arrived late Thursday night and was met by her attorney, Joseph s. Tobin.
 According to a statement by MT Tobin there is doubt whether Mrs Oelrichs will contest the will at all.
 Personally Mrs Oelrichs does not want any of the property devised to the Oelrichs family. but she resents the fact that her son, Hermann Oel- richs. jr, should have been ignored entirely by his father.

 ITO the American People-Difl- culties have arisen among us, ques- ! tions of liberty and law. or of peace. We do not ask for sympathy; we ask only an open field that we may settle with Cubans and for Cubans the is- sues that we have joined.
 .There has come time in the hts- tory of this republic when the only way to secure permanent and right eous peace, safe in guaranteed con- stitutional liberties, is by war.

 ''It has become necessary to resort to arms-not for war. If 1t can pos sibly be avoided, but as a demonstra- tiou before the court of last resort that the spirit that for century has fought against royal oppression still endures and will suffer again the hardships of campaigns rather than yield the fruits of hard won liberties.
