The Cuban Junta In New
York Apportioning
the Blame.
PRESIDENT PALMA
rs HELD, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
PRESENT CONDITION OF THE
dSlAND-A NEW ELECTION Is
NOW DEMANDED TO SET ASIDE
THAT OF DEcEMsER LAST.
BY Associated Press.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE revolu.
tlonary junta of New York has is
sued a proclamation giving the insur-
gents reasons for taking up arms
against the Palma government. The
proclamation says:
In the first pace, this movement
must not be COMPOUNDED with the inter-
neclne strife that so often disturbs the
peace OF the republics of South and
central America. In these latter
movements the only object of the lead
er Is to gain control of the presidency.
With Us it is not so.
I'VE have been careful not to over
draw the seriousness of the political
situation in Cuba and have made no
charges that cannot be fully substanti-
ated by unbiased Investigators.
We charge that President Palma
obtained his election to Office through
fraud and intimidation and by the de-
malls to the liberals of their right of
suffrage.
I'VE charge that the government OF
President Palma was directly respon-
sible for the killing of Colonel En-
rlque Villuendas, member of the
house of representatives at Cienfue-
gas on September %, 905
I'VE charge that President Palma
has usurped the powers and func
tons of the government bodies of the
municipalities and has annulled arbi.
trarily and without warrant of law,
the elections CT liberal officials. dis
placing them with members of his own
political party, the moderates.
I'VE charge that he has in like man.
ner removed from the bench judges
who refused to act in their judicial
capacity according to his dictation.
President Palma also has imprisoned
without judicial proceedings members
OF the liberal party because they
voiced their protests against his die
tatorial conduct.
THE Liberals have made continued
peaceful appeals that this injustice be
righted, but to all this the govern
ment turned a deaf ear; denied the
Constitutional rights for which the
Cubans fought, bled and died for nearly
half a century, SO We decided that
our only course was again to take up
arms.
I'VE now ask only one thing, and
that is that the Illegal and fraudulent
election Of last December be annulled
and a new election held, at which ev-
cry Cuban citizen will be given fair
chance to vote"
In concluding the proclamation says:
palma is today the dictator of Cuba.
instead of the ruler, and declares the
men who surround him are the same
who supported the Spanish regime
while patriotic Cubans were in the
field fighting.
British Influence.
Today's Times says that according
to a story which is being told in finan-
cial circles here, the real cause of
the action of President Roosevelt in
regard to Cuba was not the appeals OF
American sugar planters near Glen
fuegos, but a complaint made through
the British embassy at Washington
regarding damage done to the property
of the Western Railroad, which is
owned by British capitalists, and the
head Office of which is in Londan

English Views.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE Cuban
crisis commands general attention
from the English press, says Tribune
cable from London. The most cynical
comments are in the Globe, which as
sumes that the insurrection has been
planned by sugar planters and annex
ationists, and that permanent occupa-
ton will follow the farcical course
of intrigue The best informed arti-
Gle is in the Morning Post, which con.
cludes that the new republic has been
unable to start with the necessary
equipment of flourishing independ-
ent state. and that, in consequence Of
political insecurity and economic fall
ure, the incorporat on Of the island
with the American Unicn is inevitable
English writers are not unmindful Of
the fact that Gladstone's pledges re-
spectng Egypt have not been redeem,
ell, whereas the Americans have made
virtuous effort 10 keep faith with
the island and the world. They con-
s;der that British experience in India
and Egypt proves that altruism is
more practical after than before occu
patton, and that Intervention abroad
can be morally justified by the bene-
fts conferred by the restoration OF
reformed administration.
It is thought here that there will bs
few dissenting voices in England IL
the American government, after CIV
ing Cuba a lair chance for self-goveru-
ment, should be compelled by Anglo
Saxon destiny to take the next step in
her career of overseas expansion, and
the result is generally expected. The
Spectator sums up English opinion
when it declares that an American
army, on entering Cuba the second
time, will come to say. The difficult
ties of the situation are fully appre-
ciated, and President Roosevelt is
credited alike Wild sincerity and prac-
teal sagacity in dealing with it.

Taft's Trip.

Washington, Sept 17.-One result
of Secretary Taft's mission to Ha-

chief of staff. They were to have left
Washington about the end of the
present month for Chickamauga and
then go westward to Fort Sheridan,
Smelling and Fort Riley.
The trip was planned to afford the
secretary an opportunity to ascertain

female Boston terriers in the Blue
Ribbon Kennels of Boston. Fashion

brought its owner just 800 a pound.
Utmost care has been taken in the
bringing up of the terrier. Its food,
mode of living, and even clothing,
have been looked after with as much
attention as would be accorded a

Some Burning Questions in the Race
for Governor.
From the Jackson Record.
Judging from the speeches that are
being made by some of the candidates
for governor one would conclude
that the main issues in the race are as
follows:
LIST. Is Tom Watson Tom Watson?
End. Should Georgia pass a law
prohibiting railroads doing business
in the state and return to the old
wagon ways on dirt roads?
3rd. To whom does the the Pied
mont bar belong?
4th. Is there any way of redeem
ing the state from negro rule, who are
now lin a horn) controlling every
branch of the state governement?
5. Did any candidates great grand
father on his mothers sisters side
who was related to anybody either by
affinity or consequently IN the
seventh degree ever steal a sheep?
9th Should the candidates dictate
the rules for the primary election and
mandamus the state executive com
mittee and make them sign, or should
they just run in conformity to the rules
the committee makes?

tain facts first hand County reports
will continue to come to the department
in Washington. The crop estimating
board of the department will be con-
tinued, but the final estimates will be
made up almost wholly by the district
chiefs.
In addition to the new arrangement
for district reporting a number OF
special agents to travel over the coun-
try will be made a part of the system,
and they will contribute as much
as possible in aiding the district
chiefs to obtain accurate infOr-
nation regarding crop conditions.
The question which confronts the de-
partment is whether congress will be
willing to make these changes and in
cur the additional expense, even upon
the representation of the department
that greater accuracy is to be obtain
ed therefrom. The controversy be-
tween the cotton growers and the man
ufacturers over the result under the
present crop statistics reports, and
the severe blows struck at the depart
ment's system by the Keep commits
sion, renders it possible that the con-
troversy may be carried into the COM
mittee and on to congress.

The Vanishing Gray Column.

From the nashville American.
A floating paragraph states that
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky is the
last of the confederate generals in the
senate and that only one or two con-
federate veterans are left in that body.
Both statements are Inaccurate. Sen
ator Blackburn was never a confeder-
ate brigadier, though he served in the
confederate army. Senators Morgan
and Pettus of Alabama had the rank
of brigadier, and are now the only
two senator who had that rank in the
confederate service. Senator Bate
was the last of the confederate major
generals in the senate. Senator Nc
Creary of Kentucky was cOnfeder-
ate soldier, and had the rank of lieu
tenant colonel. Other confederate
veterans in the senate are Daniel of
Virginia, who was major; Bacon of
Georgia. Berry of Arkansas, Mem
cry of Louisiana, Money of Missis-
sippi. None of these, we believe, rose
above the position of lie officer.

SYSTEM TO Be REORGANIzED
GOVERNMENT WILL ADOPT NEW
PLAN OF REPORTING CROPS.

Will be so HefIeCCeu, II As SAUL AH0'O
Accurate Statistics Can Be OBJ
tanned. How 1t Will Be Done.
A complete plan for a reorganization
of the crop reporting system OF the
government has been submitted to the
agricultural committee of congress by
Mr.. Hayes, assistant secretary OF the
agricultural department. 1t is pro-
posed, if possible, to correct the de-
fectS in the system and so perfect it
that accurate statistics of the crop
conditions and final results from
month to month can be obtained and
reported upon by the department.
The chief feature of the new plan is
that it seeks to abandon the old poll
cy of collecting reports on crop con-
ditions from various sources and as
sembling them in Washington to
be passed upon by one man as the
head of the statistical bureau.
If congress adopts the plan outlined
by Mr.. Hayes it will increase the an
nual cost of the crop reporting system
from $3.50, 900 a year to about $3.50, 600
year. The increased cost of service
will be necessitated as the result
of the abandonment of the present
system of state and county collections
of crop statistics and the creation of
about thirty-fve district chiefs, who
will work in conjunction with the
weather bureau officials at the princi-
pal stations in each state.
A district chief will be assigned to
each of the principal cereal and cot
ton states, and will correct reports

Graft in the Panama.

From the Augusta Chronicle
OF course, there is no graft in the
Panama canal zone-oh, dear no. But
some of the administration pets down
there are doing very well, thankee,
with what they pick up legitimately.
For instance, there is POoh-bah Crom-

lie of Panama; director of the Pan
anna railroad; counsel for the Panama
railroad; general adviser in all canal
matters, by order of the president:
counsel for the Panama legation; inter.

pany: counsel for the French Panama
Canal Company. Mr.. Cromwell's
business connections back in the states
are not stated, but he seems to be
thrifty enough to be drawing several
