President Sends One of Most
Sensational Documents
Ever Delivered to

WASHINGTON, d. c., July Is
In one of the most sensational mes
sages ever sent to the Senate by an
executive, President Taft to-day as
sumed full responsibility for the Con
troller Bay affair" He brands the ra-
nous Dick to Dick" letter as "a
wicked fabrication" and says that his
brother, Charles r. Taft, whose name
appeared in the alleged letter. has no
interest In Alaska. never had ana

connected with the transaction.
The President declares there Is no
danger of the Controller Bay rail-
road and Navigation Company or
other interests monopolixing the field
Nor is there anything TO show that

any way connected with the Morgan

GERMANY JUMPS
INTO HAITI ROW
ORDERS CRUISER BREMEN TO
SCENE OF TROUBLE AT
CAPE HAIrrEN.
ACTION IS NOT LIKED
UNITED STATES RELIEVES ITSELF
QUITE CAPABLE OF HANDLING
NATTER WITHOUT
AID. IL

WASHINGTON. n. c.. July 2e.-
Germany has projected herself unex-
peetedly and unnecessarily. as United
States officials think, into the revo-
luton in Haiti by ordering to Cape
Haitien the cruiser Bremen. AS the
action OF Germany was taken with
out consultation with the United
the State Department.
1t has been universally understood
since the last revolution in San Do
mingo and also In Nicaragua and Hon
duras that the United States felt 1T
self bound to control the situation In
these little republics in order that
they might be saved from the nee
toring demand and intrusion OF the
European powers 1t was known TO
all nations In the case OF Haiti that
the United States had already on the
scene rhe Chester. the Des Moines
the Petrol and the Peoria, and that
orders had been given to other ves-
sells to sail II further coervice meas
ures were necessary. France and
England were evidently satisfied with
the disposition made by the United
States.
U. s. Alone Has Right
United States naval officers will
report promptly the movements and
objects of the German cruiser. The
mere fact that the United States un-
derstands that it alone has the right
with due Difference to the rights or
other nations to follow the course OF
the Haitien revolution may bring
about an unpleasant degree of fric-
ton with the German designs m
Haiti.
The Navy Department to-day, In am
swer to request from Minister Fur
Miss. ordered the cruiser Des Moines
to put herself under his orders WITH
special reference TO trouble which has
broken out at st. Anse.
The Chester, which Is at Cape Hal
ten, was also given orders to-day
to keep an eye on the situation at
Port au Paix. The officials conside r
the situation in Haiti as very criti-
teal. and that IL was only the prompt
arrival of American warships which
saved the lives OF many white resi-
dents Of the black r~pv
