REBELLION
GAINS STRENGTH
Taft'S Presence on the Island
Does Not Deter Re-
VOIuiiOnS

BY Our own Wire. Publishers Press.
HAVANA, Sept. 20.-Secretary Taft IS
beginning to realize that he will have no
easy task in compelling peace in Cuba,
where revolt against the Palma admins
tration is growing rather than waning.
As the last Of his visitors departed last
night Mr.. Taft remarked: Il shall have to
stay longer than expected adding that
he had believed he could end his mission
in ten days.
This change of expectation is largely
due to the sudden great increase in the
number Of rebels and the certainty they
feel Of being able to crush the govern
ment if they are let alone.
Hundreds have joined the rebels during
the armistice. The newspapers have be-
com more bold, and there is no denying
that if the bands camped at the gates Of
Havana decided to take the city, they
could do it. The strength Of the revolu-
tion has grown nightly within twenty
four hours. and to add to Mr.. Taft's diff
ficulties the temper of its leader actually
in the field gives signs OF growing hasty.

Poor Union Republicansl Truly the
last blow has fallen upon their efforts
to maintain a separate ticket in the
field in this county.
one Of the gentlemen whom u was
said was mentioned as a possible sue
cessor to Aubrey Vandever as recorder
of deeds on the rump ticket, appeared
at the office Of The Evening journal
last night highly indignant
Nevin C. Clowney was the man, ana
he was anxious 60 state his views on
the whole convention and Sicket. He
declared that The Evening Journal
should have known that he was as
true n Republican as there was in the
city. and that his name had never been
mentioned as a candidate for any office
on this Union Republican ticket.
In fact, Mr.. Clowney was so thor
oughly incensed at The idea of having
his name mentioned as a possible nomi-
nee on the rump ticket that he re-
garded the mere publication of such
statement injurious 10 his charac-
ter and credit in the community and
declared he would sue The Evening
Journal for libel If the statement that
he was likely TO be placed on the rump
ticket was not contradicted to-day
The Evening Journal regrets exceed
ingly the statement to which Mr.. Glow
ncy objects. and agrees VITA him tha'

TRAIN MISHAP ON
THE B. 6 0. R. R.

B. & o. train No. 22s. known as the
Landenburg accommodation, was de-
layed last evening at FELTON, station
by a slight accident to the tender,
causing two Of its wheels to leave the
track.
The train. which is due in this city
at 1926, had just pulled in to FELTON,
station. and while coming TO a stop
the pedestal of the tender became bro
ken i'm some manner. throwing two
wheels off the rails and bringing the
train to a tandstiI with a sudden jerk.
No damage was done TO the coaches
and all passengers escaped uninjured,
If the train had been going
lat a fast rate of speed there probably
would have been another story to tell.
The passengers We're transferred to a
following train and after some time the
tender was replaced on the track with
out calling upon the wrecking train for
assistance. Owing 10 the blocking of
the track all trains were run over the
northbound rails for some time after

Park this evening 10 which all colored
voters of Wilmington have been invited.
The committee in charge has arranged
that the meeting shall be addressed by
some of the best speakers on the Repub-
lican ticket in the county.
1t was charged that the meeting was

but this was most emphatically denied
this morning.
Nominees on both tickets have bseu
asked to make addresses and all candi-
dates will be welcomed at the meeting as

HONG KONG. Sept. 2O.-Every hour
of investigation. into the extent Of the
disaster wrought by the typhoon which
struck this city on Tuesday shows that
the storms ravages were more extern
sive than first supposed. The dead will
now number about 5.0OO II this is the
case then hundreds of lives hitherto
not included in the estimates Of dead
have been lost in the rivers.
1t is two days since the disaster oc-
CURED, yet no word has come from the
fishing boats. The only construction
which is placed on this significant ST.
lence is that the boats were wrecked.
Up the Pearl river in the direction
of Canton the typhoon caused a great
deal of damage. details oc which are
just beginning to be reported. Scores
Of small river craft perished in the
storm. A steamer from Canton with
several hundred passengers aboard has
not been heard from and its fate is un-
known. Fears are entertained for the
safety of the craft and its passengers.
HONG KONG. Sept. 2O.-Hong Kong
was visited by another hurricane
which ragged from midnight until af-
ter daylight. Considerable damage
was caused by the storm but nothing
to compare with the havoc Of Tues
days disaster The greatest inconven-
ience was caused TO the thousands left
homeless.

PREPARING FOR
FIELD WORK
Engineers Of Canal COmmiS-
sion Here Working
on Maps
THE PRESIDENTS
LABOR ORDER

Lieutenant Frank T. Chambers of
the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal
Commission arrived at Major Flagler's
Office in this city about 2.sO this after
noon and the two officers who consti-
tute the engineering committee of the
commission began Immediately to plan
the field work of the commission.
After this work is mapped out the
borings and such details will be left to
be carried out under Major Flagler's
direction.
Tomorrow General Felix Agnus viii
join the other commissioners and they
viii make an inspection by land and
water of the proposed Sassafras route
for the great canal, going down the
Delaware on the government boat vi
dette to Reedy Island and Little creek.
Thence returning to Delaware City the
commissioners will take an automobile
ride over the Delaware portion of the
Sassafras route.
It is not thought at the Majors Of
fee that the order of President Roose-
Welt promulgated yesterday from Oys-
ter Bay, and which extends the eight
hour workday law to all public works
under the supervision of any depart
ment Of the government, will in any
wise seriously affect work now being
done under Major Flagler's supervision
In this district.
The new order would apply directly
to work on river and harbor improve
ments. But as was pointed out to a
representative of The Evening Jour-
nal to-day at the United States engi-
neer's office, work on river and harbor
improvements, such as is being done IN
this district, can be done only to ad-
vantage at certain times and depends
largely upon the state of the tide, the
wind and other local conditions. These
render is almost impossible that at any
time the working day should exceed
an average Of eight hours.
However, Major Flagler was not pre-
pared to say whether the order was
such as to have any effect here on
the work being done until he reeeivfd
Il IN official form and had an oppor-
tunity to read il carefully.
The commercial interests Of the city
are preparing for the hearing before
the commission on Wednesday next, al
which timein the Board of Trade room
they will present Wilmington's wishes
for the selection of the present Della
ware and Chesapeake route as that &c
be recommended.

TOOK MENTIONED
NOMINATION AS INSULT

IL owes him an apology for placing his
name among the possible nominees on

The Journal did not. however. realize
that the good Republicans OF the city
had reached the place where 1t was
considered damaging to their charac-

a candidate for Office on the rump

It seems also that others besides Mr..
Clowney feel the same way about the
honor attached to a place on the Ford
