Failing thus far in all human eff

upon the members of the church to

to quit the warning church a. any cost,
and they viii ask the Lord to prevail
upon him to accept the majority call of
the Tabernacle when he returns from

The resort to prayer for a solution
of the trouble harks back graphically
to the Rev. DR.. Broughton's time in

incidentally how deeply the aged

RUSH To CUBA
Marines Sent Inland to Protect
Lives and Property of U.
S. Citizens.

WASHINGTON. June 5.--As a result
Of the gravity in the Cuban situation.
II was decided this afternoon to rush
four battleships from Key West TO
Guantanamo. This action was taken
at conference between Secretary
Knox and President Taft today.
After the conference Secretary Knox
said that if further protection TO Amer
lean property should be needed the
marines on the ships would be landed.
Four hundred and fifty ma
rines were sent into the in
terror of Cuba this afternoon.
This action was taken by Commander
Kline, manager of the naval station
at Guantanamo, on the representation
Of a committee of prominent Ameri-
cans that they had demanded and fail
ed to receive adequate protection
against the Cuban rebels.
Al the same time that this news
reached the navy department today a
message was received from the gun
boat Paducah, at Santiago, that the
situation there was most grave and 1t
was probable that marines would have
to be landed before night.
Strong pressure Is being brought to
bear on the government here to inter-
vene Immediately in Cuban affairs.
Minister Rivero, of Cuba, was closeted
with Major General Leonard Wood for
more than two hours today discussing
the methods for landing troops. Tel
egraInE we're sent to Norfolk, warning
the commanders OF the i've army
transports now at that port to be ready
for instant movement
