troops; that ~ammunitions of war are
being held in readiness for this move;
and that bloodshed is expected before
a staple government is again %inaugur-
ated in the island republic. In view
of the threat made by President Taft
in 1908, that if the stars and stripes
should ever again fly above Cuba they
would not be withdrawn, his has Spe-
cial significance.
Bold graft, as we'll as other forms
of unsound government, are to brng
about the crisis.
After a 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 tho
arsenal property" in the water front,
which was traded to the United Rail-
ways Of Havana, a Canadian concern,
for their terminal property, valued at
from $1,000, 900 to $4,000 900 less.
