Oyster Bay, Sept. l4-President
Roosevelt, Secretary of War Taft, Sec
rotary of the Navy Bonaparte, Acting
Secretary of State Bacon and United
States Senator Beveridge of Indiana.
member Of the senate committee Oh Gu
ban relations, today are comforting re-
gardlng the situation in Cuba.
At late hour this afternoon the con-
ference was still in progress and no
news of what has been said or agreed
upon could be obtained. It is not
thought that intervention will be de-
cided upon at this meeting, as it is said
that the president wishes to- give the
Cuban government and the rebels more
time to settle their differences.
It was announced at the executive
office today that the landing Of marines
at Havana yesterday was intended only
as guard to the American legation in
that city and not as step towards re-
storing peace in the island republic or
as a guard to President Palma 8 pal
ace. 4E
While it is maintained that the course
Of the American administration in
Cuba is to be most conservative, this, 1t
is said, does not preclude a thoro pre-
paredness on the part Of the United
States to take any action which may
become imperative by reason Of condi-
tions on the island.

.SANTOS.DUMONT
FLIES TO A FALL
His Aeroplane Ascends, but Sud
denly Tumbles to the Ground
and Is Smashed. -
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Paris, Sept. 14.-M. Santos Dumont
met ill-luck yesterday in an attempt to
carry off the archdeacon prize. Altho
ne succeeded in driving the Bird Of
Prey, his aeroplane, many yards into
the air., he came to the earth with a
violent shock and smashed the propeller
wheels and frame, thus putting an end
for some time to come to his expert
ments
AFTER much maneuvering, the ma
chine assembled, when, like a flash, it
fell heavily to the ground. The propel-
Ter struck first and was ripped off like
paper. Then the frame, and finally the
front wheels smote the earth, crum-
bling up beneath the force of the blow,
leaving the machine a helpless wreck.
M. Santos-Dumont was unhurt. For
moment the spectators feared the
machine would fall over backward and
crush the aeronaut, but fortunately the
angle taken was not sufficiently acute
and he escaped with nothing more than
q bump. There was only one thing to
do-pack up and go home.
1t did not seem unlikely that the arch
deacon prize had been won, however,
but after measurements were taken, it
turned out that the distance traversed
was only half that required to win the
cup.
S'sThere will be some delay now, -
said the aeronaut. 81 must get ready
for the international balloon race,
which comes off on the 30th, and I have
a. lot to do before then, and consequent
ly shall leave further trials until that
race has been run. In the meantime,
repairs will be made and shall intro
duce several alterations which this
morning IS experience has shown me to
be necessary - =
