Many Russian Functionaries Dying Of
Fright.
Paris, Sept 26.-In a letter from
st. Petersburg Professor Alexander
Ular, who is regarded in Paris as the
mouthpiece of Count White, says that
many of the highest Russian function
aries are dying from fright or are on
the point of escaping from the coun-
try. In their case bombs and knives
are no longer necessary. Professor
Ular says that General Skallon, gov
ernor general of Poland, with the
drums of both his ears destroyed by
the explosion of bomb, is in state
of imbecile collapse and probably will
be succeeded by General Rennen-
kampff.
Admiral Doubassoff, author Of the
horrors at Moscow, whose leg was
blown off, has received a present of
100000 roubles ($500.000) from the
car in compensation, but his repres.
sive zeal is at an end and he has de-
cided to spend the rest of his life in
foreign watering places.
Ex-Minister of the Interior Durnovo
took refuge in Paris, but was prac-
tically expelled by NJ. Clemenceau for
irving to organize Russian police
system here. His whereabouts are
now absolutely unknown.

MORE MARINES GET ORDERS
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS DECIDE
TO RUSH ONE THOUSAND
MEN TO CUBA.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The great
est efforts are being made to reinforce
the American marines now in Cuban
waters and there have been almost
continuous conferences for twenty
four hours between the chief of the
navigation bureau and the comman-
dant of marines relative to the speedy
transportation of this advance guard
of the American forces which are to
occupy the Cuban ports if the pending
negotiations at Havana fail.
AS result of these conferences, to
which Acting Secretary Newberry was
a party, 1000 extra marines were Or
dered to be assembled at once at At
ing for Havana. 1t was at first pro-
posed that these marines should sail
ut once, but it was found that they
would probably be delayed about two
days, while the warships which are to
transport them are being made ready.
The men will be concentrated chiefly
at Norfolk, Va, and League Island,
Pa. Probably all of the marines on
the Atlantic coast stations will have
to be employed to meet this draft.
Those at the smaller Southern naval
stations and yards will probably be
transported by some of the Morgan
line steamers, the navy department
having practically completed an ar
rangement with that company for
quick service in this emergency.

PRACTICALLY ARANDoNs PEACE.
Full EFFORTS TO RESTORE
ORDER IN CUBA.
Use OF FORCE SEEMS NECESSARY
SAYS ELECTIONS WERE ROTTEN,
BUT GOVERNMENT REFUSES
1 TO COMPROMISE.

Havana, Sept. 26.-Secretary Taft
and Assistant Secretary of State Ba-
con informed the Associated Press
during the afternoon that they were
thoroughly Disguised with the petty
methods of the government leaders
here and the American commissioners
admitted that they had practically
abandoned hope of bringing peace
from the turmoil unless by the use of
force. Mr.. Taft said:
"The government officials, instead
Of cooperating with us to save the re-
public, have resorted to every kind of
obstruction with the object Of continu-
ing their control of the administra.
ton. President Palma and his ad
visers have rejected terms of peace
which were honorable to them, though
In the form Of a compromise with
their opponents. We are still striving
to arrange settlement and we trust
the American people will give us credit
for doing everything possible to &C.
complish a settlement without resort
ing TO force. cannot say that we are
hopeful, for have never known
more disgusting situation. Investiga-
ton convinces us that the elections
were thoroughly rotten. We do not
want to intervene, but the conditions
afield may necessitate it. Our reports
show that the insurgent commanders
have lost control of their forces.
which are now lawless bands that any
moment may loot and burn. The sit.
uation seems to demand the use OF
force"

FAvoRs AMERICAN CONTROL,
Cuban Official Says That Is the Only
Solution,

Havana, Sept. 26.-General Freyre
Andrade, speaker of the lower house,
In conversation with correspondent
of the Associated Press made the fol-
lowing statement:
''If the Americans wish to take our
government and give il to the rebels
Z they may do so, but not with our con-
sent We shall never consent to the
holding of new elections. 1t would be
a great injustice and if the rebels won
Cuba would have the worst elements
in control, but if the government won
we would have another revolution on
our hands"
Continuing, the general said that
Vice President Mendez Capote had
gone to confer with Secretary Taft
and to inform the latter that the Gu
ban government positively rejected
the Liberals proposition laid before
President Palma by Mr.. Taft and AS.
sistant Secretary of State Bacon. The
general further asserted that the de-
cision of the government officials was
lrrevocable. President Palma would
resign, Andrade said, if the step was
suggested by the American officials,
but he would never be party to hold
ing new elections.
Advocates American Control.
General Andrade spoke bitterly
about the course the Liberals would
take il they gained the government,
especially with reference to their OBJ
tanning control of the governments
armed forces, all of whose officers, he
claimed, would undoubtedly be re-
placed by rebel partisans, including,
doubtless, many negroes. 1t was i'm
possible, he reiterated, for President
Palma to be a party to such acts OF
injustice for the sake of catering to
the rebel element in order to pacify
them.
The general was then asked what
would be his solution Of the problem
and he replied, distinctly and impress
sively:
81 see only one satisfactory way out
of it-for the United States to take
control of Cuba for one or two or
possibly four years. The right kind
of government here cannot survive
now without such control. There
must be reconstruction period after
the civil war. Yielding to the rebels
now cannot bring contentment and re-
liability and would only antagonize all
the better elements, which, as 1t Is
well known, side with the Moderates."
