Intervention in Cuban Affairs.


"Our Intervention in Cuban affairs will
only come If Cuba herself shows that she
has fallen into the insurrectionary habit;
that she lacks the self-restraint necessary
to peaceful self-government, and that her
contending factions have plunged the coun-
try into anarchy.
II solemnly adjure all Cuban patriots to
band together to sink all differences and
personal ambitions. and to remember that
the only way they can preserve the indie
pendence of the republic Is to prevent the
necessity of outside interference by res
cuing it from the anarchy Of civil war.
II earnestly hope that this word of adju-
ration of mine, given in the name of the
American people, the stanchest friends and
well-wishers of Cuba that there are in all
the world, will be taken as it is meant, will
be seriously considered, and will be acted
upon, and IL SO acted upon Cuba's perma-
nent independence, her permanent success
az a reDublic are assured.

Enemies of Cuba.

Whoever is responsible for armed revo-
luton and outrage, whoever is respon-
sible in any way for the condition Of the
affairs that now obtain, is enemy Of
Cuba, and doubly heavy Is the responsible
ity- Of the man who, affecting TO be the
special champion of Cuban independence
takes any step which will jeopardize that
Independence
For there is just one way in which Gu
ban Independence can be secured. and that
is for the Cuban people to show their abil-
ity to continue in their path of peaceful and
orderly progress.
This nation asks nothing of Cuba, save
that it shall continue to develop as 1t has
developed during the past seven years; that
it shall know and practice the orderly lib
erty which will assuredly bring an ever
increasing measure of peace and prosperity
to the beautiful Queen of the Antilles.

MY Dear Senior Quesada: In this crisis

Word Of Solemn Warning.

II desire now, through you, to say word
OF solemn warning to your people, whose
earnest well-wisher I am.
For seven years Cuba has been in
condition Of profound peace and OF steadily
growing prosperity. For four years this
peace and prosperity have obtained under
her own Independent government. Her
peace, prosperity and independence are now
menaced. for of all possible evils that can
befall Cuba the worst Is the evil Of an
archy, into which civil war and revolution
airy disturbances will assuredly throw her.

in Paris. George Gould to-day cabled to
the Countess expressing his sympathy
and inviting her to visit him at his home
here Mrs. Howard Gould is booked for
Paris on the steamer Kaiser William der
Crosse which sails tomorrow. a cable
dispatch from Paris this afternoon says
1t is likely that the Countess will accept
the invitation of her brother, and come
TO. the united- Statc.t.
The Count to-day telegraphed to his
brother and others of his family to come
TO Paris and intercede with his wife to
quash the separation suit before 1t goes
any farther.
The Count In tho telegram which he
sent to his people In the south of Franco,
is understood to have given them carte
blanche In the matter of promises they
may make to the Countess on his be-
half when they have their interview with
her.
He agrees to forego even the slightest
filtration with the three women to whom
his attentions recently became so marked
that they aroused the anger of the
Countess Anna. He has even agreed, 1t
is said, to renounce his numerous In
amoratas and TO give up forever the
bachelor apartments which have been
the talk of the 1boulevnrds.

who was only a lookeron yesterday.
The ex-NIayor of Fairmount and registrar
of Howards Grove precinct; the present
Mayor of the town, two members of the
Council of Fairmount, and q prominent
contractor, all made strong witnesses for
annexation, and gave the best of reasons
why annexation is absolutely necessary
for the well-being of Fairmount
Mayor Gallagher was asked by the
court, in a pleasant way, If he was aware
that annexation meant for him the loss
of his office, to which he had recently
been elected for q term of four years.
The Mayor replied that he was well
aware of TINT fact, and he was willing
to give up the office or make almost any
other sacrifice to accomplish annexation.
At the afternoon session Mr. Anderson
and Major j. II, Dooley were again OH
hand. After two annexation witnesses
had been recalled and briefly questioned
the anti-annexatlonists opened their inning
and put some pretty strong witnesses on
the stand, among them Mr.. John p.

of j. w. Waggoner, formerly

May End, 1906.
Dear Friend, Mr.. Newell: |
thought | would write you a

Angeles did for San Francisco.
The school children sent 8 or
10 car load of food and clothing
and the churches sent money,
food and clothing. All the
schools in Los Angeles closed
down for sympathy for the San
Francisco people. Many thous-
and people have come from San
Francisco to Los Angeles, and
the Los Angeles people have
put up tents for them to live in
until they can find some of
their folks. San Francisco is
about 400 miles from Los Ange-
les. They had a few light
shakes in Los Angeles. The
water pipes in San Francisco
burst and the people of Los
Angeles had to send them car
loads of water.
How is Mrs. Newell getting
along? Tell her to write to me.
| will close, hoping to find
you we'll. Yours truly.

Des Moines, Iowa. The past
week has been abnormally cool,
closing with heavy to killing
frosts in all districts on the
mornings of the 9Th and 7th.
The minimum tempe natures
were below freezing at numer-

more tender varieties of fruits
have suffered some damage. In
about onethird of the state in
the western and northern dis
tricts,..the rainfall was above
normal, but generally condi-
lions were favorable for plow-
ing and preparations for plant
ing. The cool weather caused
delay in corn planting, but con-
siderable.progress in that line
has been made in the southern
and eastern districts. A large
area is in readiness for planting
and rapid work will be done
within the coming week if the
weather is fair. All reports
are satisfactory as to the adj
vancement of grass in mead
ows and pastures, and the
small grain crops are doing
notably we'll, especially in the
districts where the acreage of
wheat, oats and barley is great
