WORK OF ANNEXATIONISTS
Intended 10 Provoke Intervention by
Arousing Public Sentiment in the
United States.

WASHINGTON. June l4.-State De-
partment officials today discredited
tales of Congo-like atrocities in the
Cuban rebellion telegraphed to Amer
Jean newspapers by their correspond
entS on the island.
1t was declared by certain officials
in touch with Cuban affairs that such
stories are being sent out by CORES
pondents in Cuba who are rabid an
nexationists with the Idea Of provok-
ing intervention by arousing public
sentiment in the United States.
The department claims to know that
certain American newspapermcn in
Cuba have boasted openly that they
would eventually force intervention.
Almost all Americans living in Cuba
are ardent for annexation, it was as
serted today by a high war depart
ment official.
Were the Cuban federals mutilating
prisoners, attacking negro women and
shooting down non-aombatants be-
cause they are black of skin, the
stat department would be the first to
hear of it from its disinterested con-
sular officers, it was declared. No
such stories have come to the depart
ment in its official dispatches.
Despite the pressure eXerted by
American interests upon the state de-
partment, it was repeated today that
the United States expects to main
tain '.hands off" policy, unless they
are forced from this position by an
increase in the strength of the rebel
lion.
Dearth of news of any rebel sue
cesses or outrages today led to the
official assertion of belief that Gomez
apparently has the rebellion we'll in
hand, and that the presence of the
Yankee warships, marines and blue
iacketed landing parties has quieted
Cuba. While official advices indicate
that the situation is still full Of dam
ger and ultimate intervention not an
improbablity, it is believed here by
officials that the rebellion will soon
cave in.

GIRL LEAPS TO DEATH.


Berha Kininsky, young girl bent
on suicide, yesterday jumped from a
six-story building in Brooklyn. She
landed on her feet, and although her
back was broken, persons who had not
seen her leap, thought her merely
about to faint, saw her walk some
distance before she dropped uncon-
scious. A large port Of the roof cor
nice had been carried down with her
in her jump. An ambulance surgeon
who had been summoned on the sup
position that the girl had a simple
fainting spell, applied restoratives and
when she did not recover, took her TO
the hospital where she died few min
utes later.
An examination showed that the
patient had died from broken back.
The police were notified and later re-
ported that the girl killed herself be-
cause her sweetheart, said to be a
Brooklyn youth of good family, had
gone away short time ago and failed

Cardinals Play National A. c.

The Cardinal A. G. which recently
reorganized will play their first game
Saturday afternoon at D p. n., on the
North Alfred street grounds, when
they tackle the Nationals A. C.
of the independence League.
This should prove to be an interest
ing game from start to finish and as
the Nationals will have Shalin and
Mcbride as their battery while the
Cardinals will work their new men
probably Garland, Carlin or Cox as
pitchers with either CO try Morris
or Gievennette behind bat, the re-
naming line up vii. : as follows:
Cockrell, lst b; Hicks or Morris End
b: Corl, SIS; Gill or Hayden ID b; Will
lams, If; Tansill, cf; Murphy ri.
The above line up is about as strong
as they can come and when they get
started their opponents will feel that
they are outclassed, and with such a
team they should receive the support
of the public.

JURY FINDS MILLER GUILTY.
Is Sentenced TO Ten Years and Four
Months in the State Penitentiary
for Murder.

Winchester, Va, June l+.-The
trial of Morrison H. Miller for the
killing of George 0. Crisman, neigh
boring farmer and rural mail car
rier during an alteration last Octo-
Der, was concluded yesterday.
All the evidence being in at abou1
30 o'clock Wednesday evening, the
Jury retired to consider verdict. At
ter being out all night they returned
q verdict of "guilty" about noon
Thursday. Miller was sentenced to
serve ten years and four months i'm
prisonment in the State penitentiary
at Richmond.
The quarrel which eliminated in
the killing Of Crisman, from the tes-
timony Of the witnesses, was one OF
long standing. Miller, who is said
to be mentally unbalanced, has Away
looked upon Crisman as his enemy
and for some time previous to the kill
ing had made number Of threats
upon the latter's life. This bitter feel
ing was brought to head by Crisman
claiming a brood of chickens, which
Miller says rightrully belonged tn
him, and by the receipt of white
cap" letter intended to intimidate Mil.
Ter.
Matters thus drifted from bad to
worse until Crisman, accompanied
by his wife and little son, made an
ilI-timed excursion to the Miller home
to recover the chickens which both
claimed. Upon reaching the house
Crisman proceeded to drive the brood
toward his own home, when he was
stopped by Miller and ordered several
times to leave the premises, and upon
his noncompliance, opened fire upon
him with a shot gun, the load taking
effect in CriSman'S back and shoulders.
killing him instantly. Miller at once
galloped to the county Jail, where he
gave himself into the custody of Jail
er Forney, who locked him up.

CROSSING DISPUTE SETTLED
Old Dominion Line Agrees to Build
Overhead Crossing at Lacey
Station.

The dispute between the Washing
ton-Virginia and the Old Dominion
railways over a proposed crossing at
Lacey station has been settled by the
latter company agreeing to construct
an overhead crossing. The settlement
of the question is the result of the re-
port of Engineer E. d. Myers OF
Richmond who was appointed by the
State Corporation Commission to ex-
anime the situation and report his find
ings. Major Myers found that grade
crossing at that point would be ex-
tremely dangerous and recommended
an overhead crossing. The cost, ne
stated, would be approximately $685.
600. The tracks Of the Washington
Virginia railway will be depressed
five feet at the crossing so there will
be sixteen feet between the tracks.
All the work is to be done by the Old
Dominion Company
Pending the construction of the ov-
erhead crossing the Old Dominion
Company will be permitted to cross
the tracks of the Washington-Virgin-
ia at grade. They will be required to
give a bond of 100000 to indemnify
the latter company for any damages
that may occur.

ONE STRIKER SHOT AND KILLED
Electric Railway Station Burned Last
Nighl-Electric Light Poles Des-
troyed-More Trouble Feared.

Perth Amboy, N. j., June l+.-One
striker was shot and killed and four
other strikers were injured, one NOR
tally, in the conflict today.
Today's rioting is believed to make
certain the early arrival of state mil
itia. Adjutant General Sadler was
here as the personal representative Of
Gov. Wilson, and after today's out
break was said to have telephoned the
governor that the coming of the
troops should not be further delayed.
1t was understood that three compan-
les Of the state guards were ordered
yesterday to hold themselves in read
mess for instant duty. They could
reach here within an hour.
The direct cause of today's attack
on the smeltering plant was the pres
ence w:.:hin its grounds Of 500 import
ed strike breakers.
Their presence seemed to drive the
striking laborers into a frenzy. The
rush on the gate came too suddenly
for the regular policemen and special
deputies to stop it.
Strike leaders declared that the
firing was totally unwarranted and al
legged that the private detectives were
simply "aching for chance 20 pot
the foreigners" The killing of Dud-
dack was called "sheer murder by the
strikers and, coupled with the injury
to several of their number, has fur
ther aroused them. Threats were
made and it was feared another out
break was imminent.
The city was quiet early today fol-
lowing last nights rioting in which
strikers fired the electric railway sta
ton and the fences surrounding the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany's plant. The station is in ruins.
The torch was applied to electric
light poles also and for a time the
lighting system CT the city was threat
ened.
Street cars are not permitted to run
here at night, as their appearance
provokes strikers to demonstrations.
The threat of bringing the militia ap-
parently has not frightened the strlk-
ers and more trouble is feared to-
night.

ROOSEVELT WILL
CD To CHICAGO.
National Republican Committee Still
Seating Taft Dele
gates.
SECOND PLACE ASPIRANTS.
Both Wings Of the Republican Party
Have Candidates in the Field for
e-President.

Theodore Roosevelt announced this
afternoon that h would leave ut $50
O'Clock for Chicago.
In 2nd Tenn. district, National COM
mittee seated two Taft delegates.
Chicago, June l4.-With the as
sembling of the Republican National
convention only four days off a re-
markable situation exists so far as
| the vice-presidential situation is con-
cerned.
For the Taft forces there are only
two avowed candidates in the field.
They are James S. Sherman, the in
cumbent, of New York, and Governor
John 4. Mead, Of Vermont. Sher-
man will establish his headquarters
here on Sunday. Mead already has
his Offices in the Auditorium Hotel.
Neither man is acceptable to the pres
ident, so far as can be learned. Taft
wants progressive on the ticket with
! him if he is the nominee, but up to
the present time he has been unable
to get anyone that fills the bill to ac-
cept.
Senator Cummns was the Taft
choice but the Iowa senator has pos
itively refused even 10 consider the
suggestion and up TO date no other
asp.rant has been discovered.
For the nomination as the running
mate of Col. Roosevelt the popular
choices are Governors Hadley of Mis-
souri, and Johnson Of California. Had
ley would like the nomination. John
son said that he prefers to remain III
his present position. Bat neither
would take the nomination, and
whichever was finally decided on
would satisfy Cob Roosevelt, who
says he wants a rough and tumble
campaigner, realizing that if he is fin
ally nominated he will face the most
bitter conflict in the history of the
presidency.
4 dozen oher progressives are re-
porting handmade booms for he NOM
ination, hut up to the present their
chances have not been considered serl-
ously.
Oyster Bay. n. V, June l4.-Pre-
pared to go 10 Chicago this afternoon,
"if necessary" Col. Roosevelt left
Sycamore Hill in motor, accOmpan-
led by Mrs. Roosevelt, for New York
early today 1t was said that Mrs.
Roosevelt was going to New York to
do some shopping, but there was a
strong rumor that she also might find
it necessary to extend he shopping
trip to Chicago. The required bag
cage for the trip was sent to New
York.
1t was expected that the colonel
would not make the formal announce
ment of his departure until ne was
actually ready to leave the OutlooE
office for the railroad station.

Whether $4,000 conductors, train
men and firemen employed on the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburgh
and Erie shall strike will be decided
by vote of the men which began yes
terday. To declare strike a two
third majority of the voters is neces-
sary. Although there are several
points of dispute, the most important
one is over the employment of Penn
slyvania men on the electric trains
operated out of New York to Newark
and Jersey City. The railroad EN-
ployes want half of the trains operat-
ed by their men, but the company
claims that it is bound by contract
with the Hudson Tubes Company To
let them use their own men for this
work.
