i Oyster Bay, N. r, June Upon
The selection of temporary chairman
ef the Republican national convention
may hang the political fortunes Of
former President Roosevelt. He de.
eided to oppose with all his strength
the seating Of Senator Root and is
sued a call to all his supporters to
stand by him. B
Il Colonel Roosevelt declares that Mr..
Root "has ranged himself against the
men who stand for progressive prin-
ciples within the Republican party"
and says 1t is William Barnes, Jr., of
New York who is to be the real head
Of the Taft canvass at Chicago.
The colonePs decision to make a
Root was reached after long con-
sultation with advisers. At Sycamore
Hill were Senator Dixon, Clifford Pin.

George w. Perkins of New York.

and Truxton Beale, a delegate from

After Colonel Roosevelt had COM

the question Of whether he is to go to
the. Chicago convention.
Not Going to Convention.
. after hearing what the men have
l*seen have to say he said, "my i'm
preston is. that I will not go. may
reach different decision if any strong
arm tactics are attempted"
Following is the statement, in part,
dictated at Sycamore Hill by Colonel
Roosevelt:
I'm the past Mr.. Root has rendered
distinguished services as secretary OF
state and secretary of war. But in
this contest Mr.. Root ranged himself
against the men who stand for pro-
gressive principles within the. Repub'
lican party, that is, against the men
who stand for making the Republican
! party in relation to the issues of the
present day what it was in the days
! of Abraham Lincoln. He stands as the

policies Of reaction. He is put forward

Washington, June The arrival OF
General Monteagudo at the front as
the commander-in.chief Of the Cuban
federal forces is being closely watched
here. Should the rebel bands continue
to attack foreign property it is posi-
bic the United States will send feet
of small vessels to various points Dor.
dering on the rebel zones to have ma
rines on hand for immediate action.
The fact that the rebel leaders in
the present revolution are giving re.
ceipts for property taken in the name
of Estenoz is believed here to indi-
cate that the movement is an organized
and an earnest one.
In army circles the failure of the
Cuban federal force to make any head
way against the rebels is believed to
be due to the fact that the government
forces have been compelled to place
themselves on the defensive by at.
tempting to furnish small detachments
to many foreign properties which are
demanding protection.
Guarding American Property.
Positive assurances have been re-
ceived from the Cuban governm ent
that force of Cuban troops has been
sent to guard the property of the
Spanish-American Mining company at
Daiquiri on the south coast of Oriente
near Guantanamo. i,

the executive, without further legis.
