MARINES REPULsE
ATTACK BY REBELS
Decisive Defeat Met BY Cuban Rebels
At Hands Of American Marines
Aided BY Cuban Troops

Washington. June 11.-Almost sim
ultaneously with the receipt of des-
patches here that a company OF Uni
ted States marines under command
of Capt. Edward b. Manwaring were
attacked at FL Cuero mines, Cuba,
about ! O'Clock this morning. Seere-
tary of State Knox issued this state
ment.
The United States is not contem-
plating Intervention in Cuba. but
hopes and believes the Cuban Gov
eminent will by prompt and active
measures be able to suppress the in
surrection. The sending of the two
vessels TO Havana last night indi.
Gates no change in this Governments
policy of non-intervention. The yes
seles were sent solely to provide some
place and means for Americans and
other foreigners in the event of dis
turbance that might seriously menace
their safety.
Special Emissary From Cuba.
The statement was issued after a
conference of more than two hours
of the Cuban House of Representa-
tiyes and presumably a special envoy
from President Gomez.
Later, at about the hour when the
United States Government was re-
ceiying other alarming dispatches
from various points in tw oprovinces
of Cuba, Senior Ferrara was telling
the House of Representatives that
Cuba is able to cope with the situa-
ton, and that the present trouble is
small and confined to a single prov
ince.
Capt. Edward B. Manwaring of the
United States marines reported to the
State and Navy Department that
Company A, part of his command, was
attacked at about l O'Clock this
morning on both TANKS, but that the
rebels were repulsed without casual
ties an dthat the conduct of the men
under fire was splendid.
The Spanish-American Iron Com
pany at Daiquiri reports that the
cane field Of the Hatillo plantation,
near San Luis, have been burned, but
that Daiquiri was quiet last night
The commander of the Prairie re-
GLIDING that of the Santa Theresa
Company at Manzanillo, are well pro-
tected, and that the situation, is UNI
changed.
Commander Mitchell of the Nash
vile reported to the State Department
late this afternoon that rebels had
attacked Sagus Taname, but the ru-
mors that the town had been burned
were exaggerated, as the place was
not burned, though it was sacked
The American consular agent at
Baracoa had advised the United
States Legation at Havana that rebels
from Guantanamo are believed to be
approaching and intend to burn Bar
acoa; that the situation is considered
grave and Americans and Norweg-
ians are seeking protection.

is believed that their presence will
prevent any rioting in Havana.

VICE PRESIDENCY
AN OFFICE THAT
This Notwithstanding That
Five Presidents Have
Died In Office.


KN all the talk Of candidates little
speculation has been heard about
Ia the second place on the national
tickets Yet in the early days Of
the republic the vice presidency was
regarded as a training school for the
presidency. Five of our twenty-five
elected presidents have died soon after
inauguration and their vice presidents
thus raised to the presidency, and
the last three presidents have taken
their vice presidents into their more
intimate counsels. Nevertheless the
second place is held in such slight
esteem today that nobody launches
an active campaign for the nominal
ton.
Most prominent men who have been
talked Of for the position during the
last half century have tried to escape
a nomination One man, John G. Cal
houn, resigned the office after serving
ship. Three who have been actually
nominated have declined it. John
Langdon of New Hampshire was NAM
ed In 1879 to stand with James Madl-
son, but refused, and Elbridge Gerry
of Massachusetts was named in his
stead. Sias Wright of New York -
1914 was so indignant at the failure of
the Democrats to nominate Martin
Van Buren, that when he was nominal
ed for vice president he instantly or
dered the withdrawal of his name, and
George NJ. Dallas of Pennsylvania was
substituted
In both cases the declining candidate
threw away an election as well as a
nomination, though Mr.. Wright by run
ming for governor in New York the
same year and carrying the state by
the immense influence of his name
brought the Democratic electoral ticket
IN on the same wave. thus defeating
Henry Clay and shaping the history
of the country for considerable pc
riod of years. The third declinatlon
was that of Benjamin Fitzpatrick Of
Alabama, nominated in 1860 on the
Douglas ticket.

Ages of Some Candidates.

As to the ages of the men named
for the vice presidency. the oldest OF
the successful candidates was Ell
bridge Gerry, who was sixty eight
years of age; the next oldest William
Rufus King. siXty-six. George Gin
ton and Thomas A. Hendricks were
both siXty-hve. Levi +. Morton was
sivty-four, and Henry Wilson was six
ty Henry G. Davis, the octogeuarian,
who ran with Judge Parker in 1904,
WAS probably the oldest man ever
nominated for the vice presidency,
and Allen G. Thurman, who at seven
" five years shared Mr.. Clevelands
dcfcat i'm 1888, was probably the next
oldest Of the unsuccessful candidates
BY way of emphasizing the impor-
lance once attached to the vice presi
doucy it is an interesting fact that the
"tWo-thirdS rule" which has played
havoc with SO many Democrats am

limit the chances Of n candidate, not

Notable Men Declined.

A number of notable men. without
waiting for IN expression of the senti-
ment of convention. have refused to
allow themselves to be nominated for
vice president who, if they had con-
scented, could have become presidents
by succession. Chief among these was
General Benjamin f. Butler of Mas
sachusetts, who in 1864 was strongly
pressed to take the second place on
the ticket with Mr.. Lincoln. He re-
jected all oyertures, and Andrew John
son assembled the ladder in his place.
They tell 4 story of the offer of the
vice presidential nomination to William
i. Frye of Maine on the ticket with
Garfield in 1880 and of an accident
which took him out of the race appar-
emily of his own initiative Mr., Frye
always asserted, too, that he could
have had the nomination in 1900. when
it went to Colonel Roosevelt, but that
he declined to consider it because he
regarded his seat in the senate as a
much prouder place.
Perhaps the worst slough into which
the party managers ever drltted with
regard to the vice presidency was the
practice. continued for number of
years, of using the nomination as a
consolation prize to hold the good will
of the faction which had been defeated
in the contest for the higher honor. A
typical instance was the nomination of
Chester A. Arthur in 1850 He stood
squarely by his obligation to the domi-
uant faction in the campaign, honestly
striving for Garfeld's election himself
and holding his followers to their
work But when after Inauguration
the new president proved by his use
of patronage that he did not intend to
put the party organization in New York
state into stalwart hands Mr. Arthur
rebellcd and became one of the most
active insurgents till the tragedy OF
the ID of July and his elevation to the
presidency.

Most Prominent Men Talked
Of For Position Tried to
Escape Nomination.

pushed Van Buren, tc the front, but
even the generals great popularity did
net disarm the hostility felt in certain
quarters toward Van Buren, on ac-
count of his attitude toward the Unit
ed States bank and some supposed
aristocratic leanlngs. So 10 order to
make the path to the vice presidency
difficult q resolution was adopted that
"two-tblrds OF the whole number of
votes in the convention shall be neces-
sary to constitute a choice" Van Blu
rem carried off enough votes to secure
the nomination. and from that day to
this, although occasional attempts
have been made TO get rid of the two
thirds rule, the party still clings to 1t
az q traditional measure of safety.
Fate of Vice Presidents.
OF the twenty seven vice presidents
of the United States six. or nearly one
quarter of the whole number. have
died in office, five are still living, elev-
en- were senators before they were
chosen vice president, two were SEN
atOrs before and after and two en-
tered the senate for the first time afteI
retiring from the vice presidency.
More than once when a vice president
has succeeded president through the
latter's death in office the question has
been raised by constitutional sophists
whether the successor became presl-
dent actual or only nominally. On
one such occasion n leading newspa-
per insisted for awhile on styling him
the acting president" The constitu.
ton provides merely that in case OF
the removal of the president from of
fee or his death, resignation or inabil-
Hy to discharge Its powers aud duties
those powers and duties shall devolve
upon the vice president.
This provision is so broad as to leave
still unsettled the question whether the
presidency itself passes along with the
responsibilities falling to the lot of the
second in command. 1t is easy enough
to answer that if the president dies
resigns or is removed the man elected
president ceases to be president and
as his successor, resWorn as a prelim
mary to take up the reins of govern
ment. the vice president becomes all
the president there is. In such sit
uation certainly no one would be in n
position TO contest with him the title
and rank any more than the compen.

Unique Question.

But what happens when Mr.. RoOse-
welt goes to Panama or Mr.. Taft to
Mexico? What happens when presi-
dent steps aboard q foreign warship in
one of our ports or returns the ceremo.
NAL call of a distinguished visitor i'll
not at his hotel, but at
the embassy of his sovereign? In any
of these instances, no matter how short
his stay, the president puts himself
actually or cOnstructively outside Of
the jurisdiction of the United States
and could not perform under the for
eign flag Il presidential function which
would be technically valid. In those
intervals do the powers and duties OF
the president devoive automatically
upon the vice president and return,
also automatically, to the president as
soon as his disability ceases to exist?
Undoubtedly, were serious case to
arise under such circumstances, re-
quiring instant action by the chief ex-
ecutive officer Of our government. the
vice president would be justified in act
ing The same would be true if the
president We're stricken down with an
illness which deprived him Temporal
rily OF his bodily or mental powers.
