Cases Of Graft May Make :.
Move Necessary.

Washington, Dec. 2e.-Like thun-
derbolt in q clear sky to the average
American citizen comes the rumor, ap-
parently emanating from a reliable
source. that within six weeks the
United States will in all probability
be called upon to invade Cuba with
troops; that ammunitions Of war are
being held in readiness for this move
and that bloodshed is expected before
staple government is again inaugur-
ated in the island republic. In view
OF the threat made by President Taft
in 1908, that IL the stars and stripes
should ever again fly above Cuba they
would not be withdrawn, this has spe-
cial Significance.
Bold graft, as well as other forms
Of unsound government. are to bring
about the crisis.
After q careful investigation. backed
by the reports Of John B. Jackson
minister to Cuba, it has found
that at least two specific cases of graft
have worked great harm to the city OF
Havana. One is in regard to the
arsenal property" in the water front
which was traded to the United Rail-
ways of Havana, a Canadian concern
for their terminal property, valued al
from 100000 to $10.oo0.000 less.

San Domingo, Dec. 26.-The govern
ment Of Santo Domingo is negotiating
with the Haytian minister here for a
settlement Of the border dispute with
Hayti. The diplomat has consulted
his government and it is expected a
peaceful arrangement will be made.

Domingo and Hayti is Of long standing,
the latter occupying considerable ter

cession granted to Americans by Hayti
some time ago is the contested zone
led to demand by the government
Of Santo Domingo that the border
question be submitted to arbitration.

on the border and that several per.

Discussing the four Democratic pos.

political records as follows:
Folk was an active supporter Of
Bryan and Sewell in 1896 and has sup.
ported the Democratic national ticket
in all presidential cam igns since.
Mayor Gaynor Faithful.
Mayor Gaynor has supported the
national ticket in all campaigns. In
1896 he was conspicuous as support
er of the Chicago platform. He was
one of the few prominent Democrats
in the East who stood up for the party
creed and the ticket, and he has been
faithful ever since.
Governor Harmon, then a member
of Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, did not
vote in 1896. but in 1900 presided at
Mr.. Bryan's meeting at Cincinnati.
Governor Wilson supported Palmer
