be desperate the present aspect is really
only one phase of the program mapped
out by Secretary Taft.
It is believed that his purpose was to
clear the field for complete recon-
struction in Cuba, but that this did not
necessarily involve intervention in the
sense of armed occupation of the island
by American troops.
President Palma's withdrawal, or at
least that of the conservative advisers
who surround him, was, however, be-
lieved to be essential to the working
out of this plan.
1t is conjectured by the officials here
that the secretary's purpose is to carry
out direct instructions from President
Roosevelt and give the Cubans another
chance to govern their own island. The
only way this could be worked out,
they say, would be for him to call to-
gether some of the most patriotic and
judicious of the Cubans, without regard
to party affiliations, and ask them to
create a provisional government.
They point out that the insurgent
generals would be asked to give their
allegiance to this government, tenn
porarily at least and the military forces,
of the Palma government would be eX
pected to support 1t, that the pro-
visional government would be pledged
to call new elections under conditions
that would insure the control of the
permanent government by a majority
of the Cuban people, and that If they
fail again to maintain order and Sc
curity in the island then Intervention
must ensue, resulting in probable an
nexation.
President Roosevelt is expected to ar
rive in Washington next Monday night

SOCIALIST LEADER
DISCUSSES STRIKES
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
MANNHEIM, Sept. 26.-Herr Bebel,
the Socialist leader. in a speech at to-
days session Of the Socialist conven-
tion on a suggestion that German inter-
vention in Russian affairs ought to be
followed by a general strike of Social
lists as a counter stroke, said that such
a step on the part of the German gov
ernTnent was an impoSsibility, adding:
Certainly Emperor William, Chan
cellor Won Buelow, all the reactionists
and the middle classes are on the side
of the Russian emperor and the Rus
sian government, and wish that the
Russian revolution may be beaten
down.
but it is a mighty step from such
wish to the deed. The experiences of
1892 are not encouraging. Today Prus-
sia stands not with a world coalition
for her, but directly against her. Ger
many by intervening in Russia would
unchain world war from the unfor-
seeable consequences of which those
holding the reins shrink with horror"
Herr Bebel alluded to the idea Of the
Dutch anarchist. Herr Niewuenhuis,
that a general strike might be used at
the outbreak of war as weapon to
compel peace, as being childish. He
said that the masses. in the excitement
of the outbreak of war, would not think
of a general strike. but only of the war.
Herr Behel did not believe that a gem
eral strike would win in Russia under
any circumstances at present, but this
did not exclude the idea as possible
weapon in the future.
Herr Legien, president of the general
committee Of the trades unions, said he
regarded even the discussion of gem
eral strike as revealing the weakness
of the working mems position.

MANY OPPOSE w. r. HEARST
Several Delegates Withdraw From
Caucus When Vote Is Taken

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 26.-Previous
to the night session of the Democratic
state convention the Tammany hall
delegates held caucus and by vote
Of 66 to % adopted the unit rule and
voted to have Charles F. Murphy,
leader of Tammany hall, cast the en-
tire vote for William r. Hearst for
governor.
Ninety EIGHT of the 1O5 delegates were
present. Representative w. Bourke

blyman Cohalan moved to amend that
Mr. Murphy cast the entire vote for

During the caucus Francis j. Lanery
of the Sixteenth assembly district and
James J. Martin of the Twenty-seventh
district declared that they would not
be bound by the unit rule as applied
to Hearst and withdrew their delega-
tions of three each from the caucus.

JEWS MUST DIE
RUSSIAN GENERAL DEFIANT IN
SPEECH
KsuIbsrs DECLARES That u One Mems
ber Of the League 10 Killed odes-
sa Will BE Inundated
In Blood
nr Assoolated Press.

ODESSA. sept. 26.-Replying to
deputatlon of municipal officers yester-
day who complained OF the violences
daily committed by members OF the
League OF the Russian People against
peaceful citizens. Jews and Christians
alike, Governor General Kaulbars said
that the preservation of order was an
affair concerning the police. but he per-
sonaly doubted whether 1t was pos
sibe or even desirable to attempt to
suppress the exasperatlon of the loyal
elements against the revolutionary stu
dents who were guided exclusively by
Jews. These loyal elements included
the emperor's best sons, whom the gov
ernment esteemed as its most dutiful
citizens.
Dsmayed at these expressions of
Governor General Kaulbars the NUM-
cipal officers suggested that the victims
were mostly defenseless inha abitants
who were not concerned in the revolu
tion to which Gen. Kaulbars replied that
he regretted that this was the case, but
he must say that the population was
thus punished for tolerating revolu-
tionists among them instead of deliver
ing them to justice.
"I do not think there will be fresh
outbreaks" said Governor General
Kaulbars, but in the event of the as
sassinatton of even one member of the
League of Russian People odessa will
be inundated in blood"
The deputations thereupon retired.
The tone of Governor General Kaiil-
bars speech. which is regarded as an
open expression of approval of the hor-
rors of counter revolution, has created
much alarm. While no gathering of
Liberals is permitted the League of the
Russian People is holding meetings
daily.
The Christian labor organizations
have issued a proclamation declaring
that In the event of a fresh outbreak
they will defend the Jews with their
last drop of blood.

cAAs. E. HUGHES NOMINATED
Republicans Choose New York Man to
Head State Ticket
BY As ociated Press.

BY AS Oc1ateu PreSS.
SARATOGA, N. Y. Sept. 26.-Expedi-
tion marked the second and final day
of the Republican state convention.
From early this morning, when 1t be-
came known that Charles E. Hughes of
New York would be nominated for gov
ernor by acclamation, the other pro-
ceedingS practically became firner and
were pushed to completion with the
utmost speed
The selection of the remainder of the
ticket and the choice of a new state
chairman were accomplished before the
convention assembled, and 1t only re-
NAMED for the convention to ratify all
that had been arranged and to adjourn.
The session of the convention lasted
about two hours and in that time the
permanent organization was effected,
the chairman, State Senator w. w.
Armstrong of Rochester delivered his
speech, the credentials committee re-
ported and its report was accepted, the
platform was read and adopted and
a complete state ticket nominated
The speech of the permanent chair
man was largely review of the state
conditions.
General Stewart L. Woodford, former
United states minister to Spain, re-
ported from the committee on resolu-
tions of which he was chairman. He
read the platform and emphasized the
cardinal features Of republicanlsm and
the features of its party administra-
tlons, both state and national Men
tlon of President Roosevelt in the res
olution and in the speeches evoked
APPLAUSE.
Speeches Are Brief
BreVity was am appreciated feature
OF the nominating speeches. The prln-
cipal speech, in which Job Hedges OF
New York placed Charles e. Hughes
In nomination for governor, was the
most interesting event of the proceed
lngs.
Representative Herbert Parsons made
the speech proposing INSTRUMENTATION
Of Lieutenant Governor M. Linn Bruce,

and army officers are of the opinion
that there will be no sensational de-
VelopmentS in Cuban affairs before
That time. The president has been con-
stantly in communication with Major
General f. c. Ainsworth, the military
secretary, and Brigadier General j.
Franklin Bell, the chief of staff of the
army, for several days.
All their plans for preparing to meet
any emergency which may demand the
sending of troops has repeatedly
concurred In recommendations by the
general staff officers that everything
possible be in readiness for any turn
the Cuban crisis may take. At the
presidents suggestion officers in all
parts of the United States have been
advised to prepare for call to ser
vice in Cuba, upon which call the men
and officers of the army can be ready
to sail long before the transportation
can be provided for them.
Although President Roosevelt has
constantly cautioned the army to be
prepared, he has been unwilling TO
have the quartermaster's department
contract for transports and make ar
rangements for sending troops to Cuba,
The unwillingness of the administra-
tion to take this final step is regarded
by army men as an Indication that
President Roosevelt still hopes to avoid
landing troops on Cuban soil.
The war department cannot prepare
commercial ships for transport service
in less than a week after taking DOS
session of them. Consequently if there
were urgent demand for troops in
Cuba at this time orders to rent steam
ers for transports would doubtless have
been issued before this.

the ticket, and whom he praised most
highly.
Events leading up to the nominations
today We're interesting and involved
innumerable conferences throughout
the night. When the opposition to
Hughes found 1t impossible or at least
inadvisa BILE to nominate Bruce for gov
ernor, and began seeking for candi-
date, defeat for the old time leaders
and victory for the, new and almost
unknown leaders followed swiftly.
The unknown preference of President
Roosevelt for Hughes and the declara-
ton of Governor Higgins that he was
not opposing that preferred candidate,
contributed materially to the result but
all this would have been unavailing
had it not been for the decided stand
which Mr.. Parsons maintained from
the time he arrived in Saratoga until
the opposition to his candidate cruni-
bled to dust.
