HAVANA, Sept. 29.-It is certain
that American intervention will at
once take place.
Thirty United States marines were
landed here last night to guard the
treasury building.
Secretary Tafts proclamation, Great
ing himself provisional military gov
crnor of Cuba will be issued today,
and a further force of Americans will
be landed.
A late report says that the rebels,
seeing that intervention is certain and
that the present time is their only
chance to occupy the city, are advanc-
ing upon Havana.
United States officers are taking
steps to prevent the entry of the rebels
into the city If they are unwise enough
to make forward movement.
All doubts as to the loyalty of the
rural guards to the American govern
ment in case of Intervention have been
set at rest by the declarations of Off
GERS that they would support Taft
government with enthusiasm, so that
the city is now policed by the rural
guards.
General Rodriguez commander of
the rural guards, is cooperating with
Secretary Taft.
At the joint session of the Cuban
congress called to consider the resigna-
ton of President Palma in the house
Of t.,fi
president of the senate, presided.
When he mounted the rostrum prior
to calling congress to order he was sur
rounded by crowd Of Liberals and
Moderates, all disputing at once. All
the voices We're lost in the effort of
time. The senator violently rang the
speakers bell, and finally the assembly
came to order.
President Palma's message present
ing the designations of the cabinet Off
GERS, Of the vice president and finally
his own resignation was read.
President Palma said that it was i'm
possible for him to continue as presi-
dent of nation whose people evident
y had become out of accord and lacked
sympathy with him and his govern
ment. Neither could he continue at the
head of government when portion
of the people was disposed to remain
in armed rebellion.
Senator Zayas then rose and de-
nounced Palma for accepting the res
lgnations of the cabinet officers with
out naming substitutes.
Following Palma's resignation the
Moderates held long consultation at
the residence of Senator DolZ, presi-
dent of the senate, at which it was de-
cided that no Moderate should return
to the session after recess, thus pre-
|cipitating a condition in which no pro-
visional president could be elected.
This throwing up of their hands would
practically give over the control of af-
fairs to the American commissioners.
Up to that point the attitude of the
commissioners had been a waiting one
Secretary Taft himself. who up to the
present time has, to n considerable ex-
tent, taken the newspaper correspond
ents into his confidence, said that he
was then in position where he could
not say anything for publication.

Congressional Delegates IN This
County All Believed to be
Followers Of the Machine.
CAN DICTATE TERMS.
During the Excitement of the County
Contest the Congressional Was
Lost Sight OF, and Howell May
Find Himself Indebted to Strong
for Observation-Disclosures Strong
Will Not Dare Use His Advantages.

There is a growing suspicion that
Theodore Strong, who is in control Of
the republican machine in this coun-
| ty, has a scheme on foot to bring
Benjamin F. Howell to terms this
| fall. During the recent hot fight at
the primaries for republican dele
gates to the county convention the
congressional convention was practi-
cally lost sight of and those who
know think Strong has taken adyan-
tage of the opportunity and named
congressional delegates from all sec
tions of the county who will do as he
says regarding the nomination for
congress.
1t is well known that Strong tried
to defeat Howell for the nomination
two years ago, and the differences be-
tween these men have not altogether
been cleared away. 1t is believed
that Strong, having absolute control
of the state patronage, as far as Mid
dlesex county is concerned, desires|
to control the federal patronage ip|
this county also.
Mr. Howell and Robert Carson.
the collector of customs of this port,
are fast friends, both politically and
otherwise and Strong has been very
bitter toward Carson during the re-
cent primary campaign, blaming him
largely for the Fordyce movement,
although those on the inside know
that Carson had absolutely nothing
TO do with 1t. AS Carson is an ap-
pointee of Howells and represents
the congressman in this county, 1t lis
argued that Strong feels that How
ell is of the same opinion as Carson.
This congressional district, which
is now represented by Mr.. Howell.
comprises Middlesex, Monmouth and
Ocean counties. But it would be
useless for man to seek nomina-
tion without having the support Of
his own county,. By controlling the
Middlesex delegation, therefore,
Strong would swing xhe support OF
this county to whomever. he pleased
and il Howell did not coNRe TO his
terms, he could suggest to the leaders
of either Monmouth or Ocean counx
ties that they advance their favoritd
and by getting the support of Middle
sex could turn Howell down.
1t is known that most of the COM
gressional delegates in this county
are pronounced Strong men, but whe-
ther Strong will dare take advantage
of his power is the question. The
republican party in Middlesex has
already had quite a jar in the recent
primary contest and to open war on
Congressman Howell would turn all
his friends, including every post
master and many party workers,
against the machine. AS this is a
close county at best, Strong cannot
afford to stir up any rumpus at this
time, and, as much as he doubtless
would like to punish Mr.. Howell, he
will probably be forced TO submiA to
his denomination in order to
harmony in the party for the con.
election. AS much as Strong wouis-
like to control the congressional ap-
.pointments in Middlesex, it is of
vastly more importance to him that
he have a full republican delegation
at Trenton this winter.

St. COLUMBIA blessed a knife SO that 1t
never could hurt any creature after

the opposite effect on the stake. A

saints bidding. St. Columbia sharpen

BLAZING METEoRs.
The short Lived SpIendor of q Shoot
ing Star.

IMK STAR
A small body as large as a paving
stone or not as large as a marble is
moving round the sum- Just as a
mighty planet revolves In an ellipse, so
this small object will move round and
round in an ellipse, with the sun in the
focus. There are at the present mo-
ment inconeeivable myriads Of such
meteors moving in this manner. They
are too small and too distant for our
telescopes, and we can never see them
except under extraordinary circum-
stances.
At the time we see the meteor 1t
traverses a distance of more than
twenty miles second Such velocity
Is almost impossible near the earth's
surface. The resistance of the air would
prevent it. Aloft in the emptiness Of
space there Is no air to resist 1t.
In the course Of Its wanderings the
body may come near the earth and
within a few hundred miles Of its sur
face, Of course, begins to encounter the
upper surface of the atmosphere with
which the earth is inclosed To a body
moving with the appalling velocity Of
meteor, plunge into the atmosphere
is usually fatal Even though the up
per layers of air are excessively at
tenuated, yet they suddenly check the
velocity, almost as q rife bullet would
be checked when fred into water. As
meteor rushes through the atmos-
phere the friction of the air warns Its
surface; gradually it becomes red hot,
then white hot and Is finally driven of
into the vapor with brilliant light,
while we on the earth, one or two hun
dred miles below, exclaim:
''Oh, look! There is a shooting star"

A FISH HOOK.

The One You Should Buy and the
Test You should Try.
The most common flaw Is the temper
of the hook. Some hooks are brittle
and break easily. There are other
hooks still that bend. and bend so easi-
ly that they "straighten" on every big
fish, and yet other hooks that bend, but
bend so hard that a big fish never
fiexes them, and they only straighten
and come away when the full tension
Of the line is laid upon them II caught
on tough snag or tree bough. These
last are the hooks to buy-if you can
find them-and the hard breaking

the eye are quite useless, as 80 many
hooks carry exactly the same tints in
blue or black Test the hook instead

firm bit Of wood and trying it out both
by the hard, Arm pull and by the jerk.
Watch particularly in this trial for
weakness at the foot of the barb, where

bone or very hard gristle. What vastly
