=
Atlantic City. N. i'm speech
to the. International Christian. En-.
deavor Convention here President
Taft declared that the negotiations
for the arbitration treaty between
Great Britain and the United States
have reached such stage that there
Is no doubt as to the signing Of the.
pact.
i am glad to say. z said the Presi-
dent, that today we have reached
such point in the negotiations for a
treaty of universal arbitration with
one of the great European powers
that we can confidently predict the
eigning Of satisfactory treaty The
arbitration treaty heretofore with
Great Britain and other countries has
excepted. from the causes which may
be arbitrated those which involved
the vital interests of either party or
its honor. The treaty which'we are
now closing with Great Britain elm
mates, these exceptions and pro-
vides that all questions of interna-
tional concern of a justifiable char
acter shall be submitted to the arbi-'
tration Of an impartial tribunal,
The President expressed the hope
that eventually half dozen Euro
pean countries may make similar
treaties. Such action, he said, will
not abolish war, but would furnish a
forcible instrument in preventing it..
The President left Washington
amid the closing freaks OF severe
thunderstorm. His private car was
30 degrees cooler than it was early
in the week when he journeyed
through Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl-.
vania, with temperature indoors
of 100 degrees. Senator Briggs, Of
New Jersey; Secretary Hilles and
Major Butt accompanied him. At
Philadelphia the Presidents car was
attached to special train that made
the run to Atlantic City in so min
utes.
The President spoke from a plat
form on the Million-dollar Pier. Sew
eral thousand persons heard him and
cheered him as he entered and as he
left the pier
The first part of the Presidents
speech was devoted to brief review
OF the work of the Christian En-
deavor Societies
Such a movement said the
President, cannot but have the most
beneficial effect upon the citizenship
of a nation like this, and should be
lacking In appreciation of those cur
rents of popular reform and indi-.
vidual uplifting If did not seize
such an opportunity to pay just
tribute to those who have deserved
30 well of the republic; for while this
country has no state church and en-
courages the utmost freedom of reli-
gious belief and practice, it is a fun
damental error to suppose that those
who are responsible in any degree
for the public welfare may not In
every proper way encourage all in.
strumentalities in betterment of the
individual man, all moral and reli-
gious movements for his higher
spiritual welfare without regard to
the denominationaI Jurisdiction in
which such movements take their
source or exercise their influence.
They necessarily tend to leaven OF
the whole community and to the
Righteousness that exalteth a ma
ton.

Equipped with modern army rifles,

Castro has on deposit 35,000,000
francs. He is said to have had the
additional backing of Banker Silvera,
who asserted that unlimited means
would be at the disposal of the exiled
dictator -
From all sides Castro's former
friends are rallying to him. Revolu-
ton has been In the air for months.
Newspapers here have been devoured
for news of the exile's Wanderings
and Of the success Of attempted fili-i
busters from the United States gulf
ports. Even with prison staring them
in the face, soldiers and civilians
have declared they wanted but one
word to fight for their former chief.
There is every indication that the
arms and ammunition for the rebels
were sent out of Cuba.
Castro means fight, and fight to q
finish. How large his army may
have swelled by tomorrow lis matter
of conjecture based upon how long
1t will take recruits to sail to Castil-
letas
Castro landed at Casti1letas, on
Gejira Peninsula, the territory which
was in dispute between Colombia and
Venezuela. This territory is mac
cessib1e except by ship, and a COM
paratively small force could hold it
against all corners. Castro is safe SO
long as he remains here, but the gov
eminent knows he will not do that,
and it is. likely that the first trouble
will occur in Falcon Province
In the meantime the Castro forces
have everything to hope for from
their allies in Cuba. With a. revolu-
ton on that island probable,ii not
imminent, and the whole country ex-
cited, plans are progressing steadily
to ship out ammunition to this state.
How Castro landed is yet a mystery.
Whence he came cannot be stated.
