Secretary Taft's Plan.

1t ia conjectured by the officials here
that the secretary's purpose is to car
ry out direct instructions from Presi-
dent Roosevelt and give the Cubans
another chance to govern their own
! island The only way this could be
worked out, they say. would, be for
him TO call together some of the most
patriotic and judicious OF the Cubans.
without regard to party affiliations. and
ask them to create a provisional gov
eminent. They point out that the in
suTgent generals would be asked to
give their allegiance ia this govern
ment. temporarily at least, and the mil
itary forces of the Palma government
would be expected to support it, that
the provisional government would be
pledged to call new elections under con-
ditions that would insure the control
Of the permanent government by q
majority Of the Cuban people, and that
if they fail again~to maintain order
and security i'm the island then inter-
ventiOn must ensue, resulting In prob
able annexation.
Military Arm Ready.
President Roosevelt is expected to
arrive in Washington next Monday
night and army officers are of the
opinion that there will be no sensa-
tional DEVELOPMENTS i'm Cuban affairs
before that time The president has
beer constantly in communication with
| Major General j Franklin Bell. the
chief of staff of the army for several
days. All their plans for preparing to
meet any emergency which may de-
mand the sending of TROOPS has re-
peatedly resulted in recommendations
by general staff officers that every
! thing possible he in readiness for any
/ turn the Cuban crisis may take. At
| the presidents suggestion, officers i'm
/ all parts of the United States have
/ been advised TO prepare for call for
/ service i'm Cuba. upon which call the
! men and officers of the army can be
ready to sail long before the trans
! portation can be provided for them.
No Transport Contracts.
Although President Roosevelt has
/ constantly cautioned the army to be
prepared, he has been unwilling to
! have the quartermaster's department
contract for transports and make ar
rangements fer sending troops TO Cuba
The unwillingness of the administration
/ TO take this final step is regarded by
army men as an indication that Presi-
dent Roosevelt still hopes to avoid land
! ing troops on Cuban soil. The waI
department cannot prepare. commercial
! ships for transport service In less thar
/ a week after taking possession OF them
| Consequently il there were urgent de
mand for troops in Cuba at this time
orders TO rent steamers for transports
would doubtless have been issued be.

William Hepburn Russell seconded the
Hearst nomination on behalf of Tammany
Hall for New York county. and then
BCurke Cochran took the platform.
Mr. Cochran defined his attitude at
length and justified his previous position
with regard to Mr. Hearst and his criti-
cisms of that gentleman by saying:
THE man who cTiticiscs you must he
either a flatterer or fricnd-and never
an enemy.
Il support Mr.. Hearst. he declared,
because as a Democrat j cannot help it..
It is not because | have any personal

Mr. Cochran then said he came 10 this
convention eager TO find a candidate that
would be elected. Il had hoped this can
didate would be another beside him we
are advocating tonight, but no one else
came UP 10 the measure"
Ii Hearst represented sociaiistic ideas.
he said many of those who opposed him
represented corruption understandable.

NEW YORK; June 30. :. President

came seriously alarmed lest his ma s.

Calls for prox les were :recefveds tjy:the
stockholders Of the road today. Such a
request at the present time was re-
marked as especially significant. as the
annual meeting OF the Corporation was
not to take place until October. The
calls were signed BY Fish.
Some people thought Fish's action in
requesting proxies was to see how
much strength he could muster among q
the STOCKHOLDERS before taking issue
with Hartman. But, the consensus Of
opinion was that Fish would not thus
openly give. notice of his attack. upon
Hartman unless he had satisfied HIM
self that = he. had more than fair
chance of winning. Fish and Hartman

This statement was made today by

Harry X. Thaw.
Some interesting side lights were
thrown upon the Thaw- White tragedy
by a private detective who declared
that. he was employed by White as a
bodyguard for more than a year before
the shooting. In extracts from his
diary the detective says that White
undoubtedly feared for his life; that
he took minute precautions to guard
against a surprise; that equally inge-
nious plans were made by a corps OF
detectives employed by Thaw TO keep
track of Whites movements. and that
on the day that White was shot he had
decided to apply to the authorities to
prevent the continuance OF the espion-
age to which he had been subjected
According to the detective, White
paid more than $4,000 between Febru-
ary IA, 1905. and the day OF his death
IN the protection OF his person and for
the shadowing of the detectives who
were pursuing him. The detective de-
scribed meeting between. White and
himself when he told the architect
Thaw was the employer of the detec-

cording to the statement. White said:
