TO PROBE PRICE OF COAL
U. S. Attorney at Philadelphia Ordered
to Investigate.

w 'I'NNot'SutS'
Philadelphia, May 2S. - That the
Philadelphia Coal exchange and the
Reading company will be called on to
explain the sudden and arbitrary ad-
vance in the price Of coal was made
evident here when the United States
attorney was authorized by the depart
ment of justice at Washington to COM
mence Immediately an investigation
of the charges that had been made
with regard to the advance in prices
in this city.
District Attorney Rotan has also
begun an independent investigation,
and It is believed that his inquiry
will be as etfectull as was his cru.
sade against the ice trust three years
ago, which had the effect of restoring
old prices in one of the hottest sum-
mers on record and when there was
concerted action to compel the poor
TO pay excessively for the necessity.
The complaints which have been
made to Washington have been insti-
tuted by the Consumers league Of
this city. The league has secured evi-
dence which will be particularly perti-
nent since the complaint affects an
article which comes within the inter
state commerce act. On this ground
the government has been able to take
hand in the investigation, and agents
of the secret service are here investi
eating tie charges. which were sent
to the department Of justice, in order
that an early report may be made and
immediate action commenced by the
government if II is found that they
can be substantiated

PEACE MUST REIGN,
Restore Order or Marines Will
Enter Cuban Territory.

President Gomez Protest Will Not
Alter Washington's Plans One Jot
and Neither viii Any Further Pro.
test From Him Make Any Different
Etfect-Roamlne Bands Of Negroes
Do Damage.
Washington, May 2S.-Only prompt
restoration of order by the Cuban gov
ernment can now keep United States
marines cut Of the territory OF that re-
public. Communications exchanged
between President Taft and President
Gomez in the last "a hours have dem
onstrated the one fact that this gov
ernment is firmly determined to af-
ford all protection necessary to the
American interests in Cuba and Amer
ican citizens in that island.
Gomez Must Check Revolt.
Either Gomez must check the negro
revolt or the United States will pro
tect its own. Colonel Karmany now
has authority to send his marines be-
yond the Guantanamo reserve If he
deems it necessary after arrival there.
Replying to the Gomez note pro.
testing against the naval demonstra
tion in the vicinity Of Cuba, Presi-
dent Taft assured the Cuban execu-
tive that the measures taken were
not for the purpose of intervention in
Cuba by the United States. At tho
same time the Taft note to Gomez
did not pledge the United States not
to intervene. 1t simply asserted that
Intervention was not now intended by
this government.
Meanwhile the naval mobilization
at Key West is being carried out ex-
actly according to schedule and with
the greatest dispatch and celebrity.
BY tomorrow night the United
States will have off the Cuban coast
nine big fighting ships with about 3
500 marines on board, while $50 more
marines will be landed at Guantana
mo, supported by two gunboats.
Gomez Protest viii Not Avail.
President Gomez protest has not
altered the Washington plans one jot
and neither will any further protest
from him make any different effect.
Reports from Cuba received at the
state department did not show the
slightest Improvement in the situa-
ton. All the dispatches told of scat
tered disorders, roaming bands of ne
cores, demands upon managers of in
dustrial enterprises for money under
threats of violence and the organiza-
ticn of volunteer guards in the Cuban
towns.
There was nothing in the least to
support the statements in President
Gomez note that his government was
capable of taking care of the negro IN.

TROOPS LEAVE HAVANA
Cuban Commander and 900 Soldiers

the armed forces in Cuba, sailed from

last night for Santiago on the cruiser

yards at Philadelphia and the Herrera
line steamer Julia which had been
pressed int oservice as a transport.
Besides the general and his staff,
there were 900 men and lot of ma
chine guns. Havana is now denuded
OF troops,
President Gomez gave out two leng-
thy interviews for the American press.
The gist of these was that the revolt
exists in only nine townships in San
tlago province.
In reply TO President Taft's despatch
In regards TO protection of American
property and non-intervention, which
was an answer to the formal protest
of President Gomez in regards to the
movement of American forces towards
Cuba, the Cuban executive last night
sent the following cablegram to the
Washington government:
Il thank you beyond measure for
your cablegram which while Tranquil
lizing Cuban patriotism, with the as
surance that your government will
limit itself to observe events with the
disposition in case of necessity to pro.
tect the lives and property of Amer
leans and morally support the Cuban
government, without the necessity of
landing troops on our territory save
in case of extreme necessity, and on
the understanding between both gov
ernments to that end. This proves the
sincerity of government and people
of the United States and their noble
and friendly sentiments towards the
government and people of Cuba who
are determined as soon as possible to
restore peace without any vacillating
and without stopping at any sacrifices
which the circumstances may demand.
