lie has hoped to go from the White
House with this to his credit. and,
after long reflection and much discus
sion with his associates and friends,
re decided on the special mission of
Secretary Root as best calculated to
accomplish the result.
The outbreak in Cuba came at a
particularly inopportune time. From
the very first President Roosevelt saw
how chance seemed likely to undo in
q day what he was striving so con
tinuously and laboriously to bring
about.
Consequently there is nothing in
the official utterances of our state and
war departments that would cast the

Of the United States to leave the ISL

the president has not had a chance
to speak officially himself, but the
proclamation issued by Secretary Taft
is substantially his utterance. tbs text
was carefully revised by the president.
The appointment of Magoon is with
out particular significance. Taft is
too busy TO remain indefinitely in Ha-
vana, and 1t is quite certain that
weeks and perhaps months will be re-
quired to pacify the island, gather in
the arms and ammunition, hold a spe-
/ cia lelection, organize new executive
/ force, arrange for the repayment of
the money spent by the United States

public going once again. These de-

of which Manuel Silveira, whose al
legged defalcation with $1,000,000 caus-
ed the failure, have for many years
been their agents in Latin American
Countries. They were a firm of bank
ers and merchants in Havana and
were considered bulwark of financial
responsibility. The loss of $1,000, 900
TO Ceballos & Co. comes at the worst
season possible, as the house lends
money on the sugar crop and all its
available funds are tied up. The fail
ure will have a damaging effect on the
business of Cuba, as the firm was a
promoter of many enterprises.

The New York Central railroad has
answered the query that has been
on the tongue of every scientist since
electricity was first harnessed.
What is believed to have been the
initial move in the transformation of
the great Vanderbilt system, eventual
ly to extend over all its lines, is the
installation of an electric railroad line
over standard gauge tracks for seven
teen miles. Approaching completion
are 2S2 miles of electric line which
will bring all trains of the system in.

suburban traffic.
The locomotives employed TO take
the place of engines driven by steam
each has double the horsepower of
the largest locomotive on the road
today. They have been tested to SO
miles an hour and the movement
while travelling at this rate has beel
so steauy and even that a brimming
glass of water could be carried in the
cab without spilling a drop.
Il is claimed that a train running
az a mile a minute can be halted In
a little more than its own length and
get away again under full speed ~

maximum speed in less than one-t third
