SANTIAGO AFFAIR
NOT SANCTIONED
Investigation Tends to Prove
That Attack on Sailors
Was Local Affair.
Cuban Court Officials Take
Testimony of Marines Par
ticipating in FracaS.

Although the official Investigations
being made by this government into the
shooting and seriously wounding OF a
dozen American sailors at Santiago a
few nights ago by the police of that city
have not been completed, the officials
here have reached conclusions, based on
reports received so far, that the trouble
was purely local. was not meant as
enti-American, and the police authori-
ties OF the Santiago municipality acted
entirely independent of any instructions
or encouragement from officials Of the
cuban government
Three Investigations are under way by
this Government The State Department
Is receiving reports from the consul at
Santiago and Minister Morgan, at Ha
Nana: Secretary Taft is receiving reports
from Governor MagOOn. the PROVISIONAL

TO Santiago and make a personal inves-
tigation on the spot: the Navy Depart
mont is conducting an investigation
through Commander Tappan, of the
cruiser Tacoma, 10 which vessel the men
belonged.
Testimony Taken.
In a dispatch from Commander Tap
pan. Il was said that Seaman Lee. who
was shot through the lung and suffered
, fracture Of the skull. is still in a pre-
carious condition. The Judge Of the cor
rectional court and prosecuting attor-
ney took his sworn statement IN the
presence Of Commander Tappan, the
consul and several witnesses. At the
same time he identified the man who
shot him. who was brought before him
Vincent Lay, n captain OF police. who
was in civilian clothing when the shoot
Ing occurred.
The court officials took the testimony
OF the sailors on board the Tacoma and
will require probably two days 20 finish
the task. The board OF officers Of the
Tacoma have almost finished their task
CT investigating the matter. IL is IN
derstOod that all the other wounded
mon except Lee show Indications OF re-
covering.
These reports have been placed in the
hands of the President. who is evinCing
marked interest in the affair. The sub
ject is said 10 have been discussed by
Secretary Taft and the President, fol-
lowing the Cabinet meeting yesterday,
and several reports from Governor Ma
COON were gone over between them. It
is understood that they agreed that the
reports at hand left no doubt that II
was uurely local and no demonstration
against the American flag or representa-
tives Of the navy at Santiago.
