REVOLUTIONARY. PLOT
MATCHED IN new YORK
Three Generals Arrested on Charge
of Conspiracy in Cuba.
AGAINST AMERICANS ON ISLAND.
General Jiminez, ex-President of San
Domingo, Has Recently Been at
Santiago de Cuba, But 1t Is Not
Known Whether He Was Connected
With the Conspiracy.

| Washington, D. G. Especially OF
| fetal word of the arrests of conspira-
tors in Havana reached the War De-
partment in the following cablegram,
addressed by Governor Magoon to
Acting Secretary Oliver:
Information more specific and
certain than heretofore received was
secured that Maso PARA, angered by
failure to bring about an uprising,
threatened to dynamite some build
ing in Havana and then escaped.
The local police arrested him and
two of his gang named Lara Miret
and Ducasse, and they are now in
JAIL
Havana Especially The. secret
police arrested Gen. Masso PARA, and
little later took into custody Gen.
Juan Ducassi and General Laramiret,
charged with conspiring aginst pub
lie order.
General PARA is the alleged lead
er of a conspiracy to start revo-
luton against the Americans in
Cuba, with the use of funds supplied
from or through some firm on Broad
way, New York. 1t is known that
simultaneously with the arrival of
PARA in Havana three Santo Do
mingans, we'll known on account of
their previous revolutionary records,
also reached this port, and, it is
stated, that other individuals of
similar character are working in
Eastern Cuba. The government has
knowledge of the fact that General
Jiminez, the ex-president of Santo
Domingo, has recently been at San
tiago de Cuba, but whether he was
connected with the conspiracy is not
yet known
1t is known that the conspiracy
originally was Matched in New York
by certain Americans whose names,
it is said, already are in possession
of the United States Government
Secret Service officers, and it is stat
ed that the leaders here were simply
professional revolutionists hired for
the job
In consequence of the arrests
made here it is believed the move
ment will result in miserable tiasco
Governor Magoon, however, is not
taking any chances. He is amply
prepared, with 5000 American SOL
diers and 5000 rural guards, to
crush any movement an instant af7
ter it is started.

600 JAPANESE PERISH.
A River Suddenly Rises More Thar
Fifty Feet.

Victoria, B. c. Especially .-Adyices
of a terrible disaster due to great
floods prevailing in Japan have been
received. The overflow of the River
Otonashigawa running through the
town OF Fukuchyama, near Kyoto,
caused the loss of more than 900
in the river, which rose more than
SO feet.
The barracks of the Twentieth Regi-
ment and the Tenth Engineers Bat
talon, situated on the heights near
the town, escaped damage when the
town was overwhelmed, and the
troops were hurried out to render
what assistance could be given to the
survivors and to rescue drowning
people,
The population of the town was
over $4,000. Hurriedly so or more
sailing junks were secured and dis
patched to the scene, soldiers man
ming the junks and saving many per-
sons.
The police have recovered 600
bodies, and others are believed to
have been lost.
General Kuroki and Governor
Omori, of Kyotofue, were in the city,
the former being engaged in inspect
ing the troops, and are said to have
narrowly escaped drowning.

Canton, o. Especially The nation
paid homage Monday to the memory
of William Mckinley, when the splen-
did monument which marks his last
resting place was unveiled in the
presence of an assembled throng such
as Canton never saw before, and with
the President of the United States
as the principal speaker. 1t was the
tribute of a grateful nation both in
word and in deed to "a good citi-
zen, brave soldier, a wise execu-
tive" and more than $4,000 persons,
representing all walks of life and
every part of the country, participat-
ed in the ceremonies dedicating the
monument, the loving gift of 1,000,-
900 Americans, whose contributions,
aggregating 100000, provided the
splendid tomb in which rest the body
of the third of the martyred presi-
dents, his wife and their two chill
dren.
Distinguished men from all parts
of the country and many representa-
tives of foreign countries made the
pilgrimage here to participate in the
dedication of the mausoleum and
made the event notable one.
The monument is a magnificent
structure, simple but imposing. In
the sarcophagi are the bronze cas-
kets containing the bodies of both
President Mckinley and his wife. In
inches in the wall of the tomb are
two little caskets containing the
ashes of their only children, Ida and
Mary, both of whom died in infancy.
President RoOsevclt's Arrival.
The President arrived in Canton
on a special train over the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at 1915 A. M. The
train was met by a reception COM
mittee. The President was escorted
to the Central High School Building,
where he and his escort passed in re-
view before 100 sehoolchildren,
grouped and dressed to represent the
national flag. The President imme-
diately drove to the reviewing stand,
where he witnessed the magnificent
military and civic parade, which took
nearly an hour and a half in passing.
At the close of the parade the Pres
ident took luncheon at the Auditori-
UNI and at l o'clock was taken to
Monument Hill.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1907-10-04

Monument Hill is high and pic
turesque spot in the outskirts OF the
city and less than two miles from the
Mckinley home In Canton. Years
ago President Mckinley expressed his
admiration for this spot and the
Memorial Association chose it as the
site for the memorial.
The Unwilling.
Addresses were delivered by Pres
ident Roosevelt; Justice William R.
Day, McKinley's secretary of state,
and Gov. Andrew L. Harris, of Ohio.
The president of the day was Gov
ernor Harris, who was introduced by
Justice Day. The introduction of the
president of the day was followed by
an invocation by Rev. DR.. Frank M.
Bristol, pastor of the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal Church, OF
Washington, D. C.
The opening address was then
given by Justice Day. This was fol-
lowed by the singing of 'The Star
spangled Banner" by the Grand
Army Band, of Canton; the Canton
Singers Club and the entire assem-
blage, led by E. Reinkendorff.
At the close of Justice Days ad-
dress President Harris asked the au-
dience to rise while Miss Helen Nc
Kinley, the only sister of the late
President, drew aside the flag dis
closing the bronze figure of McKin-
ley in the attitude of delivering his
last speech on the day of his assassi-
nation at Buffalo, September 6, 1901.
The flag was removed slowly and
impressively. This was followed by
the reading of the poem, entitled
William Mckinley" by James Whit
comb Riley.
This was followed by the address
of President Roosevelt.
The President delivered his speech
in his usual emphatic manner, adding
considerably to his written remarks.
His principal addition consisted,
however, of an effort to emphasize
and express his views on the necessi-
ty for judging men regardless of
their wealth or their poverty. There
was apparently more applause of his
contention that the unworthy rich
should be punished for their offenses
than of the preceding portion which
advocated a proper regard for the
we'll to do who are worthy. He
stopped short and demanded that the
one sentiment have as much COM
mendation as the other and by re-
peating his words and reiterating his
contention succeeded in securing a
marked demonstration in favor of his
entire proposition.
The program was closed by the
singing of America" and benedic-
ton by the Right Rev. Ignatius F.
Horstmann, bishop of Cleveland.
Immediately upon the close of the
program President Roosevelt and
party visited the interior of the tomb.
This was followed by visit by the
invited guests and then the general
public was admitted Thousands
passed through the tomb.
