wARsHIPs ON SCENE.

Washington, June mo marines
have yet been landed at Dalqulrl, ac-
cording to early reports received TO-
day at the state department. 1t is
pointed out, however, that Comman-
der Mitchell of the gunboat Paducah,
is acting under orders to land force
whenever it becomes necessary TO
protect American life and property
and he is free to act on his own dls-
cretion Last reports were that the
Spanish Iron company
plant there, which was threatened by
the rebels, had been successfully de-
Tended by the company employees ano
there was no need of the marines at
this time.
With an American gunboat sta
toned on each side of the eastern end
of Cuba prepared to land forces al
a moments notice and ready to hast

eign interests may be threatened by
the insurrectionists in Oriente, 1t is
believed here that there is now not
so much danger of molestation OF the
American owned plantations and min
ing properties. -..
But. as the Cuban government has
been informed by the state depart
ment. American naval commanders
have been fully authorized to land the
marines whenever there are no Gu
ban government forces to guard ex-
,osad plantations or mining proper
ties. which may be threatened by the
insurrectos.
It is realized here that the Cuban
government will have difficult task

THQS. {. WATSON
TOBE ARRESTED
EARLY MONDAY
THE THOMSON ADVERTISING
CRATER NOW GETTING IN
SOME FINE GRAFT.
He 80 Charged With Sending Obscene
Matter Through the United States
Mails in His Two Magazines, The
Jeffersonian and Watson.

Macon, June Limited States
Commissioner w. E. Martin his af-
ternoon issued a warrant for the ar
rest of Thomas E. Watson of Thorn
son, editor of Watsons Magazine,
charging him with sending obscene
matter through the mail in May 1s-
sue of his magazine.
District Attorney Alexander Aker-
man approved the warrant, which was
sworn out ON the accusation of Post
office Inspector A. ]. Knight, who has
headquarters in Savannah.
The warrant Was promptly turned
over to United States Marshal George
F. White, and in turn sent it to Dep
uty Marshal Murray of Augusta, with
Instructions to serve it at once.
To Arrest Watson Monday.
The arrest of Mr. Watson will prob
ably be made Monday morning, and
he will be taken in custody of the
marshal to Augusta, where he will
be arraigned for a preliminary hear
ing before United States Commission
er Goodwin. Mr.. Watson, according to
Marshal White, will be shown no fav-
ors or consideration and that he will
be treated just as any other person
arrested by the United States. 1t will
be impossible for Mr.. Watson to give
bond at Thomson, and it will be nec-
essary for him to go to Augusta.
The warrant says that Mr.. Watson,
knowingly and feloniously deposited
and caused to be deposited FOR mail
ing and delivery to divers persons,
whose names and addresses are un-
known, by and through the mails of
the Jnited States, divers copies of a
certain obscene, lewd, lascivious and
filthy publication of an indecent char
acter, which said publication was
then and there contained and print
ed in magazine entitled Watson'S
Magazine in May, 1912, which publ
cation contained on certain pages an
article entitled 'The Roman Catho-
lie hierarchy; the deadliest menace
to our liberties and our civilization"
which said publication is so obscene,
lewd, lasci7ious and filthy as to be
offensive to the court and improper
to be set forth herein. The United
States marshal Is objected to appre-
he"d Watson and bring him forth
with before a United States commits
siOner that he may be dealt with for
the Offense.
District Attorney Akerman says he
will be really to give Mr. Watson
hearing whenever he wants one.

to provide guards for all the for
eign-owned properties in OrieDte, and
yet letain a sufficient force of regu-
lar troops in compact organization to
repel any quick attack from the rebel
leader, Estenoz.
Because of the extraordinary mo-
bility of the insurrecto army which
enables it to break into small raid
ing parties and attack and pillage
within the same day, unprotected
plantations many miles separated, the
maintenance of a largely superior
government force will be necessary
and it is believed it will be several
weeks before General Monteagudo
can assemble an army large enough
for a successful campaign.

firemen and other hotel employees may

Places of the strikers are being

ing the hotel owners great inconven-
ience, they said they were able to
take care of their regular patrons.
Over a thousand negro walters are

Two hotels have already filled the

"Such of my race as will be fm-

as catspaws during the strike and are
apt to become public charges when it
is all over. They had better stay
down home. 1t has been shown that
negro walters are not desirable in the
first class hotels here"
Pastor Simms added that he would
refer to the matter in his sermon to-
morrow.

Flight of One Hour Made as Try
out for Machine Akron" Which
Has Been Greatly improved This
Spring.

Atlantic City, N. j., June 1.-Tak-
ing the city by surprise, Melvin Van
imam fioated his airship Akron, in
which he hopes to cross the Allan
tic Ocean, out of the hangar up at
inlet early today, and after circling
over the meadows and bay for near
an hour, made safe landing.
After he had the great gas bag
again safely slowed away in the shed,
ne expressed himself as satisfied with
the test. The ship Is the same one
in which he made flight over the
city last fall, with improvements. Dur
ing the trip he met with a slight ac-
cident, which might have proved dis
astrous. Very few persons saw the
flight, which started at 6.45 a. m.
Aboard, besides Vaniman, were his
brother, Calvin, Chief Engineer Fred
Almas, Assistant Engineer George
Bourrillion, Assistant Navigator Wal
ter Guest, mechanician and Ralph Up
son of Akron, one of the construct
ors of the ship.

hawser with hundred pound weight
alta ehed was lowered in the balloons
center and permitted to drag in tie
water. In some manner Calvin Vani-
man made wrong. move with the
propellors. The middle blade, in the
string of three, caught in the flying
rope. The huge craft shuddered. list
ed TO one side and came down In a
Wob0ly descent like a bird with a
broken wing. 1t struck the water and
a portion of the under-s structure went
under the water, damaging one of
the side. planes.
A boat in which were four men
had Teen following nearby and imme-
diateiy went to the balloons assis-
tance. The men aboard risked their
lives to grasp lines thrown from the
dirigible as it lowered above them.
When temporary repairs had been
made, the balloon went aloft once
more.
