OF his overthrow in the Red Sea, was

which Homer has given Of those en-

The sides were partly, and the back
wholly, open: and 1t was so low that
man could easily step into 1t from

con, and the affairs of Cuba will be left
in the hands of Governor Magoon and
General ]. F. Bell. Explaining the
change OF plans, Mr.. Taft said:
General Funston was summoned on
a hurry call from the Pacific coast be-
cause he was we'll acquainted with
many of the ineurgent chiefs here, and
it was thought he could aid Us, as he
did greatly, IN bringing the men in
arms to an agreement. General Funs-
ton WAS put temporarily in command OF
the troops in Cuba merely as conven-
jence until General Bell should arrive.
General Funston, MIR. Bacon and my
self, with Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bacon
and our secretaries, are returning to
our permanent duties"
Taft's especial confidence in the chief
of the general staff's ability to carry
out the program the governor has ini-
tiated resulted in tho decision to con.
tinue him in the island.
Many Cubans Of the faction to which
Mendez Capote and others who organ
lied the Moderate party belong, were
outskpoken against General Funston,
alleging that he had deserted them in
the war to throw off the yoe OF Spain.

CAR BLOCKADE IN THE EAST
Orders for Thousands Are Given
That Cannot Be Filled.

Chicago, Oct. l2.-Ths congestion of
freight traffic has increased so fast
within the last few days that railway
officials fear they are soon to be face to
face with a blockade. Conditions on
the Eastern roads which have not only
to handle the business which they orig
mate bat have the crops OF the West
pouring in upon them for export, are
naturally the worst, bat those on the
Western lines also are rapidly becom-
ing extremely serious.
With the approach OF winter the
movement OF coal has grown heavier,
aggravatipg the c,ngested conditions
which already exist, and traffic men
cay they do not know what they will do
for cars when the years enormous crop
of corn is ready for market, as it will
be now in a short time.
A line belonging to one of the big
Eastern railway systems had orders for
1926 cars which it could not fill. The
Pennsylvania proposes to give notice
that for 36 hours 1t will receive no
coneignments from the Pittsburg dis
trict, the object being to get the tracks
partly clear OF cars which have accu.
mulated on its lines.

BUFFALO PLAGUED WITH SNOW
Tears Down Wires, Wrecks Orchards
and Kills Two Men.

Buffalo, Oct. 12.-The storm of snow
and sleet which swept over this part Of
the country last night and today was
the worst in many years.
Telegraph, telephone aud trolley lines
were prostrated in all directions. The
damage to the rich fruit belts of Chau-
tauqua, Niagara and Orleans counties
is ipcalcnlable. Whole orchards Of
peach trees and other small fruits were
crushed to the ground by the wet,
clinging snow, which fell steadily for
many hours.
Tonight the weather is clear and
cold, and the lines of communication
are being slowly re-established.
Buffalo bore the brunt of the storm.
The damage in this city alone is not lar
from a quarter of million dollars, and
two deaths occurred, which were direct
ly due to the effects of the storm. All
night the telephone and electric light
eyetems were paralyzed. The streets
were Uttered " ith broken wires.

ish deputation to present memorial
of sympathy to the dissolved parlia-
ment is another blow to the Constitu-
tional Democrats, who were arranging
a reception to the deputation as brill
liant send off in the campaign.
This proposed visit was extremely
EN- barrassing to the British amhaesa-
dor, Sir Arthur Nicholson, in view of
the negotiations for An entente between
Russia and Great Britain. Pressure
WAS brought to bear in London to stop
the movement, and it Was decided not
to receive the deputation officially at
the empaesy here. This device is
thought to have inspired the interview
given out by the British consul at Mos
COW, who declared that the members of
the deputation were not known, and
that the proposed visit was in bad taste.

BRITAIN ACCEPTS TERMS.
Real Fishermen Of Newfoundland Con.
cede American Rights.

nCdt W OO''
cede American Rights.
Washington, Oct. 9-The news that
the modus vivendi between the United
States and Great Britain regarding the
New found land fisheries had finally been
signed was conveyed to Secretary Root
in a cablegram from Ambassador Reid
today, advising him that the British
government had accepted the terms.
No information has been received at
the State department concerning the
proposed resignation of the officials Of
the Newfoundland government on &C.
count of the new agreement.
Some facts in relation to the New
foundland government and the fisheries
were stated, in which it appears that
the British government has been very
much embarrassed during the negotia-
tions on account of the demands Of
Newfoundland. The Newfoundland
government is under the control of the
merchant fishermen OF the island, those
who buy, cure and sell the fishing pro-
ducts. They oppose any American
fishing rights, including those guaran-
teed by the treaty of 1918, and are dis
satisfied with any arrangement that the
British government makes to carry out
tho terms of that treaty.
The real fishermen of the island are
not in haYmOnv with the restrictions Of
the Newfoundland government, such as
denying the privilege OF selling bait
and of allowing the fishermen to take
employment on the American fishing
vessels. The Newfoundland govern
ment has no real responsibility in the
way of carrying out obligations. That
devolves upon the British government.

MOBILES FLY COUNTRY.
Stampede Of Russian Rich to Refuge
in Free England.

IN Tree England.
London, Oct. IL. - For some time
past statements have been made with
more or less authority to the effect
that some members OF the Cars fam.
lily were making secret arrangements to
leave Rossia, should certain eventuali-
ties occur, and take refuge in England.
These statements have been regarded
as part of the inevitable rumors to be
expected to arise from the state of
affairs in the Muscovite dominions. In
vestigations by the Publishers' Press
correspondent, however, reveal circum-
stances which point to their truth.
Large quantities of jewels, pictures
and furniture have arrived in this
country from the imperial palaces in
Russia just lately, and have been
placed in safe storage. A leading
banker told the Puplishers'g Press cor
respondent that consignments of prop.
erty of enormous value had recently ar
rived there from Russia.
1--WE nave received pack0!e OF JeWeis,
costly furniture and numbers of pic
lures, tho value of each of which runs
we'll into five figures" he said. 1.-The
owners are very highly placed"
The question put point blank Us to
whether they belonged to the Roman
offs. the reply was made that it was
againet the rules to give such informa-
tion.
A confirmation OF the assertion that
at least two of the grand dukes and
grand dnchesses intend to give the ter
rorists wide berth, and to find an
aeylum in England, is found in the feet
that inquiries for the best estates and
houses in the market are being made
among West End estate and house
agents by Russian gentlemen, who,
while asking for particulars OF the most
valuable estates, refuse to give the
names of the people for whom they
are required.
