FORT DOUGLAS
TO BE RETAINED

Special to The Tribune.
WASHINGTON. June 10. = Senator
Warren made a winning fight In the SEN
ate today on the adoption OF the con-
ference report on the army appropriation
bill. one important result being the re-
tention of all OF the western army posts
which had been recommended for aban-
donnent by the chief OF staft OF the army.
The bill as 1t came from the house pro-
vlded that no money should be spent
out of the appropriations for the coming
year on any OF the army posts recon-
mcnded by the war department for aban-
donment, The conference report rejected
this provision and inserted In lieu of 1t
a plan for the appointment OF Joint
army and congressional commission to
visit and report on the future status of
all the army posts In tho country.
The adoption OF the conference report
therefore. means the retention OF Forts
Douglas, Utah: Boise barracks. Idaho;
Missoula and Harrison. Montana: Mac
kenzic and u. a. Russell. Wyoming. and
Fort Logan. Colorado. all OF which had
been recommended by The department for
abandonment. Senator Smoot voted to
reject tho conference report Sutherland
was paired and did not vote.

PART BEING PLA YED
BY UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON. June 10.-The pres
ence OF American warships in Havana
harbor this afternoon may be regarded
as greatly diminishing the likelihood OF
Intervention IN Cuba. according to the
construction placed upon that fact by
the administration. 1t is felt that the
strain the eNcltable element of Havana
Secretary Knox, who all along has lost
no opportunity of declaring against any
purpose to intervene politically In Cuba
unless absolutely driven TO do so, felt
called upon today to renew that assur-
ance directly to the Cuban people
through orestes F'errara. speaker Of the
Cuban house of representatives.
Senior Ferrara is believed to have de-
rived great comfort from his talk with
the secretary OF state. Although the
subject was not broached In today's
conference. IL Is generally understood
that the Cuban finances must soon fig
ure in negotiations between the two
countries
Under the treaty which governs their
relations. Cuba is not permitted to me-
gotiate foreign loans beyond her ability
70 meet and H. Is for the United States
to determine that question. If more
funds arc needed It must be shown TO
Secretary knoX's satisfaction that Cuba
can carry an additional loan.
Major General Leonard Wood. chief OF
staff, declared today that II the trouble
In Cuba became more acute the army
would make another move for prepared
ness Two army transports. now at
Newport News Va, would be sent to
New York and then TO Havana.
Should troops be sent 10 Cuba they
probably would be landed at Nipe bay on
the north side OF the island, Santiago on
the south and Baracoa on the eastern
end, This practically would completely
surround the insurrectos

PANAMA CANAL BILL
MAY MEET DEFEAT
Senate Committee Nullifies
Action of House Regarding
Railroad-Owned Shipping.
BY International News Service.

BY International News Service,
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Pan
ANA canal bill, as agreed to by the sen.
ate committee, ratifies the action of
the house in granting free tolls to Amer
lean coastwise ships and goes step
farther by granting free tolls to Ameri-
can ships engaged in foreign trade on
condition that the vessels be made
available for use by the United States
in case Of war.
On the question of railroad control of
canal shipping, the senate bill contains
a wide departure from the house bill,
and practically nullifies the action of
the house in prohibiting the use Of
waterways to railroad-owned vessels.
Railroad-owncd ships doing an inter
oceanic trade and an incidental coast.
wise trade are permitted to ply through
the canal under the senate bill. 1t is
claimed that this provision is directly
for the benefit Of the Pacific Mail
steamship company, the only American
line coming within the terms Of the
measure, and fight on the section is
promised in both senate and house.
The railroad section bill passed in
the senate committee by one vote, Sen
ator Perkins Of California voting for
it. 4 minority report will be presented
in the senate by Senator Bristow and
others and it Is declared that the see.
tion will not be able to stand light of
discussion.
In the event that the senate passes
the railroad section in its form Wig
orous battle will be made against it in
the house and it is possible that the
outcome will be the defeat Of any canal
legislation at this session.

tions Imposed Upon 1t by
Solemn Treaty.

TAVANA, June 1o-Iuterest in
~ Havana today centered in the
probable outcome Of Colonel Or
estes Ferrara IS mission to Wash.
inGton, which is generally believed to
be for the purpose of convincing the
American government that there is no
necessity for Intervention.
The campaign in Orieutc and all
questions bearing on the race animosi-
ties have become insignificant as COM
pared with the possibility of interven.
tion. The impending arrival of the
United States battIeships Nebraska and
New Jersey from Key West tends to
strengthen the belief that the United
States is about to take leading hand
in Cuban affairs.
All danger of racial distur Dances in
Havana apparently has been dissipated
by the arrival OF Rear Admiral Oster-
haus's flagship Washington and the bat
tleship Rhode Island this afternoon. No
American bluejackets were allowed

WHOLESALE MURDER
At V|LL|SCA, IOWA
Joseph Moore, His Wife and
Four Children and Two Wis

VTLLJSCA, Iowa, June 10.-Joseph
Moore, a leading Villisca business man,
his wife and four children and two
visitors were found murdered today at
the Moore home.
Their heads had been beaten to pulp
ard an axe covered with blood and
human hair, found in the house, is sup
posed TO have been the instrument with
which the crime was committed. All
were murdered in their beds, There is
no clew.
The dead:

Bodies Mutilated.
Owing to the terrible mutilation the
identity Of the two women could not
at first be established. They were be-
lieved to be Mrs. Vangilder and her
daughter, relatives of the Moores. Later
they were positively identified as the
Spillinger sisters, daughters of a
wealthy farmer living few miles from
Villisca, who had been in attendance at
church entertainment here last night.
No robbery was committed and it
seems clear that only revenge could
have prompted the murderer unless the
work was done by madman.
Horses neighing in the barn at the
Moore home caused woman neighbor
to notice that no member of the family
appeared TO be up and about the house

to effect an entrance to the front door

Finds New Friend.

Friends were plentiful. Among them
was a prosperous gentleman who
wormed his way into Findley's good
graces by showing An interest in Kane
county. in cattle and In land. In fact
he wanted to buy some Kane county
land. Could Findley advise him how
to proceed in the matter. Findley
could and did, but unfortunately the
deal was not confined to land.
The gentleman appeared to be pros
porous. His name, he said, was Clark
Algernon Clark-and he made his
money at horse racing. In fact he ad-
mitted this to Eindley and even became
so friendly as to offer to reveal to
the cattle man the magic secrets of
the race track by which his fabulous
income kept rolling in. Findley had
been so kind as TO assist Mr.. Clark in
his proposed purchase Of land Clark
would reciprocate
