Havana, August 20: Jose. Maria
Villa Verde, managing editor or the
newspaper Cuba, and his nephew
Manuel Villa Verde, an editorial writer
on Cuba, were seized today at the resi-
,ence of the former, placed on board q
steamer and deported to Spain. Inc
Cuba has been continuously assalllne
the government of President Gomez
and today, acting under a presidential
decree. a SQUAD of police visited the
residence of Senior Villa Verde and de-
manded admission. This being re-
fused, the police battered down the
doors, seized the two Villa Verdes and
without giving time to make any prep
arations, rushed both on board the
steamship Alfonso XII, which sailed
this evening for Spanish ports. A pres
idential decree issued this evening
concerning the deportation denounces
the Villa Verdes, who are Spanlards,
as pernicious foreigners actively hos
tile to the Cuban government, and
hence subject to deportation. The ac-
tion of President Gomez is unprece-
dented. The Cuban constitution does
not invest in the president the author
ity to order any person deported. the
elder Villa Verde was one OF the most
prominent Spaniards in Cuba For
many years he was editor Of FL Dtario
de La Marina.
plans for the presidents coming
trip through the west and to the Pa
cifc practically were completed last
Sunday. The journey will be almost
as extensive as that taken by the pres
ident on his famous Swing around
the circle" in 1909, when he travelled
more than $4,000 miles and visited SS
states. He will break ground for the
Panama canal exposition at San Fran
cisco, make several score Of addresses
and attempt to scale the $4,000 feet
of Mt. Rainer's slope. According to
the present arrangement the president
will be gone six weeks. In that time
II is expected that he will make close
to two hundred speeches, from plat
forms, from the rear end OF his prl-
yate car and at other places not on
the regular schedule. Republican lead
ers look upon the trip as the most
important politically that the presi-
dent has mapped out since he entered
the White House. He will go through
all the states in the west in which
they recognize the domination Of the
progressive Republicans who are
counted on to oppose his renomina-
practically assured for this week the
president feels that he can get three
weeks rest at Beverly and be in trim
shape then to stand the admittedly
hard grind Of forty days on private
car. The president probably Will
leave Beverly Sept. II, returning east
about Nov. /. He will go west through
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado
and Nevada to the coast.
Washington, August IS: Renew
ed protests against the issuing OF pre-
liminary cotton estimates by the agrl-
cultural department were made in the
senate today by Senator Smith, or
South Carolina. He presented tele-
grams from agricultural commission
ers Of eight cotton growing states de-
claring the government estimate OF a
record breaking crop Of cotton was
not borne out. Senator Smith intro
duced a new resolution calling upon
the secretary Of agriculture to make
an immediate investigation and re-
port conditions Of the cotton crop.
Senator Smith declared that the cot
ton market dropped $50 a bale on the
strength Of the governments report
Of q - 100000 bale increase In this
years crop. This estimate was made
June 2S," he declared, before part of
the crop was out Of the ground" He
said he protested to Secretary Wilson,
and was informed that the secretary
did not know the preliminary report
had been issued, and that II would not
occur again. But on August 2, Sena-
tor Smith added, another glowing
preliminary report was issued. =!
should hate to draw in the senate OF
the United States" Senator Smith
oAloa Utha conclusion that / feel
might be drawn from this remarkable
report Of the agricultural department.
Either the commissioners of all the
cotton states, men right on the
ground, familiar with conditions, are
utterly mistaken, or else the agrlcul-
tural department is wrong In It's de-
ductions that there will be a record
crop this year."
There are no indications Of ex-
treme changes in temperature this
