power FOR PALMA
Cuban Congress Holds Special Ses-
sion and Grants President I'M
restricted Authority.
FREE USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS
To Treble Rural Guards and Double
ArtIlIeFy-The Executive In HIS
Message DeplOres Existing
Conditions.

Havana, Sept 15.-The extra ses
sion Of congress called by President
Palma completed at one sitting the
business for which 1t was summoned;
namely. the granting to President Pal
ma of the fullest powers not already
constitutionally possessed by the ex
ecutive, for carrying on the war, In.
Guiding the right to appropriate any
public funds for war purposes, revok
ing appropriations voted at the pre-
ceding session Of congress In order to
permit the diversion Of the moneys
involved, to prosecution OF TIE war,
and authorizing increase Of the rural
guards to 10000 and artillery to 1905
men. This trebles the former force
of rural guards and doubles the ar
tillery. These measures, which were
combined In one blanket bill, were
passed by party votes, the liberals
and independents refraining from vot
ing and the liberal nationalsists voting
with the moderates.
President Palma submitted q brief
message, principally devoted to de-
ploring the conduct Of the opposi'
ton, whom he charged with the re-
gponsibility Of causing the rebellion,
The message contained no recommen-
dations beyond suggestions that con-
gress approve all recent executive de-
crees and take such steps as may be
deemed advisable for ending the war.
The president regretted that the first
extra session Of congress should have
been necessitated by disturbance Of
public order and said nobody would
have expected that four years after
the Inauguration Of the republic 1t
could have been In the midst Of a re-
bellion threatening the stability OF
the government, causing the sincerity
Of Cuban professions to be distrust'
ed by the world and endangering the
independence and sovereignty which
had been purchased so dearly with the
blood Of thousands Of Cubans after
long years Of cruel sacrifices. Who,
asked the president, would have sup
posed that with the prosperity Of the
country and the wel[being of the PEG
pie 90 advancing with millions in the
treasury, after paying $1s,0O0,OOO to
the army Of liberation and invest
ing Si1,OOO,oOO in public Improvement
and with such splendid credit abroad.
there would be Cubans who would
conspire to change the constitutional
order by placing armed force, violence
and anarchy before law, order anc
peace, to the country's shame and sor
row?

lay night that the sailors who were
anded at Havana from the Ameri
can cruiser Denver have been or
1ered to return to their vessel i'm
lediately save for small guard
;hich will be left at the American le'
alton. This action followed the re-
,eipt of an official report by Acting
Secretary of State Bacon from Mr..
Sleeper, the American charge daft
aires at Havana, regarding the
landing. The report was not made
public, but 1t was announced Off
tally shortly afterward that the sail
ors were landed from the Denver
,olely for the protection Of the lives
ind property Of American citizens;
hat such action was In pursuance Of
a discussion between Mr.. Sleeper and
he naval commander with the belief
hat It was a wise precaution look
ing to the protection Of the lives and
property Of Americans. There was
40 intention, 1t is stated, to do 9TH
srwise than safeguard American In
.erests, and the services Of the sail
ors were to be utilized only in case
Of disorders within the city which
threatened such interests That the
landing in any way contemplated the
protection of either the Cuban gov

other persons than American citi-
zens was disclaimed officially and 1t
was pointed out that this fact could
not be emphasized too strongly.
Train service on the United rail-.

borne out, the democrats may certain

parts of the county assuredly bear out
this estimate made by the chairman OF

With all due regard to his attain

Mr.. Rae, so far as 1 am able to

His residence here has been so linn

impossible for him to know what con-

Then too, there is some question as
to the permanency of Mr. Rae's res
idence in Fergus county. True he is
at the head Of a great mine and we all
trust that the mine will continue to
operate for years to come. But even If
it does, are not Mr.. Raes employees
liable to decide that he can serve them
better in some other field, in old Mexico
where they have interests. in Idaho, in
Illinois or some other state or country?
Mr.. B. c. White who has been nomi-
