State and War Departments.
Officers OF the State and War depart
ments yesterday denied the report that a
movement was in progress for the mill
tary Intervention OF Cuba because of the
alleged unsatisfactory political condi-
tons there. The officers OF the State
Department regarded the report as a po-
litical yarn advanced by persons inter-
ested in the politics Of the island. The
officials of the War Department said that
there had been no orders issued 20 hold
troops In readiness to so to Cuba Il
was added that there was no reason for
intervention at present.

his country. although he does not think
that il is more than TO be expected in
the adjusting OF a new government.
Officials at the Cuban Legation refused

CRUISE Is PLANNED
TO GERMAN PORTS
Effort Made to Check Crit.
ciSm of Recent Events.
VISIT TO KEEL NEXT SUMMER
Fleet Which Recently Called at
British and French Ports Lacked
Time to Extend Itinerary, So Plans
Are Made for Another Cruise
After the Spring Maneuvers.

It is likely that the Atlantic battle
ship feet. now abroad. viii make cruise
to German ports next summer. A tenta-
tive decision for such a cruise has been
reached by the Navy Department The
detailed itinerary has not been worked
out. II is most likely, however, that the
battle ships will visit Kiel. and probably
one or two other German ports.
On the present foreign cruise. the bat
tie ships of the fleet visited only British
and French ports on the English Chan
mel. The fact that no visit to ports of
Germany was included in their itinerary
has caused some unfavorable criticism
of he policy of the government by Ger
mar. newspapers.
This unfriendly criticism was aecentu-
atod by the recent speech of Commander
William S. Sims. u. S. N. commanding
officer of the battle ship Minnesota. who
was quoted as saying ia a speech In
London. on December last, that Great
Britain would probably receive assist
| auce from the United States in case OF a
Foreign war This alleged statement
was telegraphed to Germany, and. to-
gether with the failure OF the feet TO
visit German ports. has been the sub
jet of much criticism I'm the German
press.
Itinerary Hastily Arranged.
1t was explained at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday that the present timer
airy was arranged hurriedly after the
outbreak of cholera in ports in the
Mediterranean Sea where it was origi-
nally intended to send the fleet. When
the disease appeared at the principal
ports OF Southern Europe, Surg. Gen.
Charles r. Stokes. Chief of the Bureau
OF Medicine and Surgery, advised against
sending the battle ships 10 the Mediter-
ranean. The itinerary was then revised
by Rear Admiral Richard wainwright
aid for operations.
The officials Of the Navy Department
felt that there was not sufficient time 10
include any German ports in the itinerary
without interfering with the winter ex-
ereises Of the feet which VIII begin at
Guantanamo early in January. Conse-
quently. visits were made only TO British
and French ports on the English Chan
mel.
Planned for Next Summer.
The proposed cruise 10 Germany viii
probably not take place until next sum-
mer. The vessels of the Atlantic fleet
will mobilize in the English Channel on
December 30 and cruise to Guantanamo.
On the way there. scouting exercises will
be held BY the Fifth division OF the fleet,
under Rear Admiral 5. a. Stanton, con
sisting OF the aTmored cruisers Tennes-
see. Washington. North Carolina. Mon
tana, and the scout cruisers Chester, Biz
mingham, and Salem.
The cruisers will sail from Hampton
Roads shortly after January, and viii
attempt 70 locate and keep in touch with
the battle fleet. The plans for the ex-
ercise and maneuyers and target practice
for the fleet have been arranged up 10
early next summer

Replying to the charges OF extrava-
gance made by President Taft in his
message to Congress, the board OF educa-
ton has prepared five reasons to show
why more money is needed to support
the public schools In Washington.
Not until after Christmas will this reply
be officially sent TO President Taft, the
ehairmen of the Senate and House Dis
trict committees. and the Appropriations
Committee OF the House. 1t IS at present
In the hands Of the ways and means
committee of the board.
Capt. James F. Oyster. president OF
the board. in preparing the reply, urged
that in the public school system in Wash
ington these Ave dominant factors ought
To be considered The recommendations
and criticisms Of the schoolhouse com
mission: the fact that prior 10 1878 Con-
gress in no way provided for the public
schools; the segregation Of the races.
which means two separate school sys-
tens, the modern tendency 10 reduce the
number of pupils 10 each teacher, and the
fiuctuation OF Washington's population.
which must be met at ODD times Of the
year.
Many Buildings Condemned.
Capt oyster pointed out that the
schoolhouse commission. in its report.
actually condemned twenty-four build
ings and recommended their abandon
ment: recommended new and modern
schools in place OF Central and Eastern
High School buildings, and specifically
recommended the appropriation OF 3d.

which was to replace the condemned
buildings
This amount alone" said Supt
Stuart last night. lis A great deas in ex-
cess Of any amount which the board mas
ever asked for new schools
Owing 10 the race question, the board
has 10 maintain separate schools for
whites and blacks, and additional school
officers. This necessitates the erection
OF two small buildings in a single neigh
borhood, where one larger building would
otherwise be sufficient.
Fully one-half OF the $4,000 the
board estimated for the present fiscal
year, says the report, is necessary to
carry out the recommendations OF the
schoolnouse commission.
