American Troops On Duty In
Cuba's Capital
WILL PROTECT ALL AMERICANS
Old Glory Planted Outside President
Palma's Residence and American
Guns Stand as > Significant Warn
ing TO Any Approaching With Hes
tile Intent.

Havana, b CabIe.-There are one
hundred and twenty sailors from the
United States protected cruiser Den
yer camped ~ front of old La Fuer-
"a castle facing the Plaza de Armas,
The little park III front Of the presi-
Dental palace, which Is the seat Of
the Cuban government. The Ameri-
can flag J. planted just inside Of the
low stone choping separating the cas-
tie grounds from O'Reilly street,
which thOroughfare passes between
the camp and the Plaza de Armas.
The American sailors are armed with
regulation rifles with the exception of
few who carry revolvers or car
bines Two field howitzers and two
rapid-fire guns were sent ashore With
the Sailors and now poizt across the
pretty little park, a significant warn
ing to any one approaching the exc
cutIve headquarters Of the Cuban
government with hostile intent.
The whole business was done so
quietly and quickly that it caused the
greatest surprise. The reason for
the sudden landing of the American
sailors was conference between
President Palma, Charge d'Affaires
Sleeper and Commander Coldwell. On
the occasion of the latter's formal call
upon President Palma, Mr.. Sleeper
| asked the President the direct ques-
ton whether he considered that the
government was able to protect all
American interests in Havana unaid-
sd. The President replied that he
hoped the government would be able
to do SO, but himself suggested that
It might be advisable as a measure
of precaution In the interests of
Americans as well as for the main
tenance of order in general to land
marines at some convenient point,
suggesting the Plaza de Armas as the
place. Mr.. Sleeper and Commander
Colwell after a brief conference de-
cided that the landing should be made
at $50 O'Clock the detachment under
Command Of Executive Officer Miller
began coming ashore, with arms, am
munition and camp paraphernalia and
took up a position commanding the
approaches to the palace Two hours
later tho eOTnmjSarp- outfit foIIowo6
with supper for the officers and men.
Questioned whether their duties on
shore would simply be protection of
American interests or defense of the
palace and President Palama. Execu-
tive CHifficer Miller and the other off
GERS of the detachment unanimously
replied that if the town should be at
tackled or If an uprising occurred in
the city they undoubtedly would have
something to do regardless of fine
questions as to who attacked.

Seemed a Iona Time.

Jim was ten years of age and OF an
adventurous spirit. Instead OF going
to school, he started out TO join a
band OF buccaneers, leaving a letter
of farewell for his mother. He had
gone pretty far afield when he was
caught in the rain. Growing miserable
and hungry, the young adyenturer
then gave up his idea OF a piratical
career and came home very late a,
night. He met with chilling rccep-
ton. The clock licked. his fathers
newspaper cracked. and his sisted did
not look up from her book. Even
his mother did not seem TO care
whether he had returned or not. The
cat, however. not being in the con-
spiracy of silence, came and rubbed
against his leg. Jim stopped and pet
ted it, and then in a desperate attempt
to open up the conversation he re
marked plaintively: is this the same
old cat yoI had when l went away"
