READY TO INTERVENE
Transports COa|ed and PPOvIsiOned
Await Sailing Orders.
Viii Back Up Navy in Maintaining
Peace on isIand-Protection
Only is Object.

Washington, d. C.-The army took
steps Saturday to share with the navy
in the American demonstration in
Cuba -
Early in the day the general staff
gave preliminary test to the ma
chine it has constructed when il issued
orders to the quartermaster general to
put in readiness for Cuban service the
four big army transports at Newport
News, and at the same time notified
the proper officers at the various army
posts where are located the organiza-
tions which go to make up the lex
peditionary force" to have the men
ready to entrain at a moments notice.
Within six hours word came from
Quartermaster General Alshire that
the transports had been put in COM
mission with full supplies and coal
and augmented crews and were ready
to sail the moment the troops were on
board.
Warnings have to be conveyed to
the tftular government of Cuba and
every effort must be made to induce it
to exhaust its own resources in restor-
ing order.
Some of these steps have been TAX
en-. The following telegram was sent
to the American legation in Havana
for presentation to the Cuban govern
ment:
"Under the exigencies of the stu
alton arising out of the failure of the
Cuban authorities to take effective
action for the protection of American
life and property the commandment al
Guantanamo naval station has beer
compelled to land four companies OF
marines. This action has been taker
as measure of protection only an6
not for the purpose of putting dowr
the instruction, which duty is clearly
that of Cuba.
, -Four large war vessels will bt

to be in readiness in case the situation

Dilhhp Hihshd Ashco Aioih suC
Aleutian range volcanoes began to fall
here Sunday. and the sun shone like a
ball Of fire through the cinders.
Sitka is 200 miles in a direct line
from the volcanoes.
Seward, Alaska-Four volcanoes in
the Aleutian mountain range have
burst into activity and are throwing
out great quantities of smoke and hot
ashes. The awakened peaks are
Iliamna. st. Augustine, Redoubt in
the Cook Inlet country, and Katmai,
which overlooks Shelikoff strait. Nu-
merous shocks were experienced here
and the sun was almost obscured by
vapor coming from the west.
Land and sea for miles in every d.
rection from the mountains in erup-
ton are covered with ashes. Lava
and rock are pouring forth and devas-
tating all in their path.
That all life on Kadiak island and
the mainland has persisted in the fiery
rain belched forth is the belief of
those aboard the mail steamship Dora,
plying to points along the Alaskan
peninsula and Kadiak island.
The Dora's master says that 1900
persons engaged in the salmon can
ming business may be dead. as it is the
height of the cannery season and large
crews are employed. The Dora has
arrived at Seldovia.
Mount Katmai's outbreak was de-
scribed by the crew of the Dora as
terrible in its violence. Deafening
subterranen explosions, they said, are
occurring at short intervals and the
hail of hot ashes and monster boulderf
has covered the earth four feet deep.
The sea in the neighborhood OF
Mount Katmai, they reported, was
dashed into foam by the plunging OF
red hot missiles hurled from Katmai'i
throat into the sea- The vessel was
struck by number of small boulders
and its deck was banked foot and 6
half deep with ashes.
Shelikoff strait, from where the
Dora fed, resembled monster steam
ing eau dron. Smoke from the blaz
ing mountain obscured the sky TO
; hundreds of miles and the day was a
night. So dense was the smoke tn
Dora's captain was obliged to steer
course so miles from her usual rout
in order to pass Kadiak island.
The wave indications in Shelikof
strait we're such that the Dora 8 mas
ter did not attempt any landings
fearing that there had been geners
! shifting of the ocean bottom nea
shore. For this reason, as well q
because of the smoke and ashes, tn
; Dora did not dare to approach kadias
Katmai has always been regarded q
: extinct. The natives have no trs
|. dition of any former activity of tn
mountain.

There are many things. such as
eggs, that can be boiled hard. and 9TH
er things that can be boiled soft. and
one OF them is the potato.
The potato belongs to a class OF
foods called starchy. because II is al
most entirely composed OF grains OF
starch. These grains are contained In
stiff woody sort of covering. which
will not expand, as 1t is not elastic. II
the potato were left in the ground. 1t
would need this starch for its future
existence, but when 1t is dug up and
boiled something happens to the
starch.
The hot water soaks through the
hard woody covering and gets to the
grains of starch, which Immediately
begin to expand. and as the hard COW
ering cannot expand with 1t. there is
nothing for It but to burst. and by
the time all the hard part OF the potato
has been broken up in this way and q
quantity of water has been absorbed
the potato is quite soft
