AMERICAN FORCES EIGHT
Pitched BATTLE IN CUBA
STATE DEPARTMENT PAYS LIT.
TILE ATTENTION TO 1T BUT
SAYS THE MARINES BEHAVED
sPLENplpLY UNDER FIRE.
BY United Press.

WASHINGTON. ID, c.. June II. =
Although for the first time in years
American military forces fought q
pitched battle In Cuba yesterday, the
State department today gave no fur
ther attention 10 the engagement. 9th
er than to say that the marines be
hayed Eplendidly under fire.
Apparently 1t will take more than
an attack on the naval forces In Cuba
to provoke Intervention. which Presl
dent Taft now believes he can order
without authority from Congress.
Just after the State Department re
ceiyed word that Company A OF the
Marine Corps had been surprised
shortly after midnight. and had fought
on the rebel attack, Secretary Knox
assured orestes Ferrera, the Cuban
special envoy sent to Washington that
the presence of the United States
forces in Cuba merely meant safety to
American residents.
1t is now believed that Ferrera's mis-
sion to Washington is TO secure con.
sent for a new loan TO pay volunteer
soldiers row lighting again the rebels.

The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1912-04-19

About thirty years ago there was
what was known as the "blue glass"
craze. 1t was claimed that to sit in
the reflected rays from blue glass
cured all manner of diseases, and
made the skin soft and the complex
ion beautiful-so men and women
would sit for hours before blue glass
screens. Now another fad is about
to be originated. Moving picture
films are made in dark rooms only
Illuminated by the ruby red rays of
a ruby red lantern. Here girls sit in
these darkened rooms for nine hours
day. 1t is claimed that it is discov-
cred that it removes ten and freck-
les, softens the skin and makes the
complexion as beautiful as alabaster.
When the doors open and the fair
toilers issue forth it is said that pass.
ers-by stop in amazement over the
beautiful picture they present. Neigh
bors wonder how it is possible for the
factory to procure only pretty girls.
as no ugly ones are ever seen. Then.
too, it is claimed that the darkened
rooms and ruby colored lights molify
the nerves and sweeten the disposi-
ton. and the girls are not only bean.
tiful but sweet tempered and healthy
as well.
