has about ended and there are large
numbers of blacks idle.
Another that they expect. to be
bought off, to keep the peace as was
done at the close of the last inter-
vention by the United States.
President Gomez Is in much better
shape to handle the revolution than
at the time Of the last uprising, ac-
cording to official dispatches. His
greatest difficulty is In ability to con-
centrate. AS fast as trouble broke out
at different places, troops were scat
tered about guarding foreign property
to prevent protests to foreign govern
ments and eventually Intervention by
the United States. This desire Of the
Cuban executive to placate foreign In
terests may eventually be the reason
for his downfall, according to belief

Marines Rounded up.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H.. May 25.-
Two companies Of marines In charge
Of Major Shaw, comprising all the men
who could be spared from the barracks
at the Portsmouth yard, naval prison
and guard of prison ships Southery and
Topeka, left here tonight by special
train for Boston. They will join the
detachment that is to sail for Cuba
on the United States steamer Missouri.
Orders for the United States tug
Patapsco to leave at once for Cuba
were received this evening. and, as
many Of the crew were ashore, an
nouncement was made in moving pic
/ ture houses and other places OF amuse-
ment for them to report at once
aboard.
cubans Are Confident.
/ HAVANA, May 25.-That American
intervention will not be needed to end
the uprising of the negroes Of the
4 island was the emphatic assertion OF
! the officials at the palace tonight.
i The report from Washington that
4 the United States was mobilizing a
squadron of battleships at Key West
stirred the president and his advisors
and they were extremely active to-
night. Orders were sent to the com
1 manders in the field that they will be
held personally responsible for the
stamping out of the uprising and they
are directed it was stated, to inaugur-
ate a campaign of determination
against the rebels.
While reports of looting of planta-
tions were received from several
! points in no instance was there word
of any considerable body of rebels
3 under arms and the crimes seemed
for the most part to be the work OF
, isolated bands.
Up to the present there has been
4 tacit approval of the action of the
negroes by many Cubans who believed
! they were justified by the action OF
congress in prohibiting the formation
of political parties along racial lines.
However, the danger of Intervention,
and the realization that If it came 1t
would probably eventually mean an
nexation, has stirred the advocates OF
/, Cuba Libre" and they are using
: their influence to stamp out the trou-
4 BILE.
It is known that efforts are being
made to reach the leaders Of the re-
volt to buy them off With them out
of the way general amnesty will be
guaranteed to all offenders and 1t was
: hoped tonight that this would prove
: the best solution and could be &C,
: complished.

Way Down in Jersey
Where Skeeters Hum

were repetitions Of those OF Mass
achusetts, Maryland and Ohio and
again and again he reiterated his be-
lief that Mr.. Taft had proven "un-
faithful" to the people.
President Taft talked to more work
ingmen today than at any time since
he left Massachusetts. Many OF the
big plants in north Jersey had closed
down 30 that their employees might
hear him and although his voice was
husky In the extreme, and he showed
the fatigue Of his strenuous effort, he
never let up in his endeavor to justify
his administration and to hold up to
the voters the grave danger OF third
term Tor his chief opponent.
During the afternoon the president
spoke at Newark, Arlington, Orange
Park, Passaic, Paterson. Ridgewood
and Montclair while tonight he had q
big indoor meeting at Rutherford
Hackensack and Englewood. He de
lclared at each Of the meetings that he
already had in excess of thirty dele
gates more than he would need al
Chicago and also discussed the peace
treaties, which he said Colonel Roose
welt defeated in the senate and which
were decidedly progressive meas

DISMAL ENGLISHMEN.
Despair Over the State of the Country
Becoming Chronic.

Despair Over the State of the Country
Becoming Chronic.
DR.. Forbes Ross. a we'll known Lon
don physician. says that England is
drifting toward the day when the
average Englishman's face will be
that of the typical criminal" He be-
lieves. says a correspondent OF the
New York Sun. that the better classes
OF England cannot keep pace with the
fearful stress of taxation and other
burdens imposed upon them and are
therefore being wiped out. In other
words. modern legislation Is
replacing the better classes by a mix
ture of sheep and wild beasts and
the nation Is being propagated by
those retaining primordlal qualities and
the primitive instinct and the average
Englishman at this rate will soon have
q depraved gorilla countenance."
Despair over the state OF the coun-
try is almost national characteristic
OF the English. They are never so
happy as when they are being gloomy
about themselves. Any copy Of any
English paper will show that the Eng
lish people are going TO the demnition
bowwows. The English addiction to
patent medicines is another evidence
of this general tendency TO low spirits.
Other nations see nothing in particu.
lar the matter with the English. They
seem to outsiders to be doing fairly
well as nations go What they really
need is n course OF mental science and
practice In the cheerful point of view.

Mis- Florence Bromley and Allison
Mcfarland.

Newark, N J., Oct. 23.-Allison
NJ. MacFarland of this city and Flor
ence Bromley of Philadelphia are to
be married soon. Their mutual in
fatuation has extended over several
years. In fact, it began while Mac
Farland was married TO another, and
shortly after the Bromley woman had
obtained a divorce from her first hus-
band
MacFarland has just been acquitted
of the charge of numbering his wife,
whose death by cyanide of potassium
occurred year ago. He was charged
with having substituted the poison for
a headache solution that his wife
was in the habit of taking. His de-
Tense was that his wife had committed
suicide. On his first trial he was
found guilty of murder in the first
degree, but the verdict was set aside
and new trial ordered.
In the second trial MacFarland's
counsel took the desperate chance of
putting MacFarland himself on the
stand, and won. The accused man
swore that he was a liar, and an in
CRATE, and that he drove his wife
to suicide after he had unsuccessful
| ly tried by beating her and other meth
DDS to force her to divorce him. He
boldly said that had she obtained the
divorce he would have married the
Bromley woman, his infatyation for
whom was attributed as the motive
for the alleged crime. The loving
and pathetic appeals of the wife made
no impression on him and he stuck
! close TO the young and attractive
! Divorce, whose demands that he mar.
ry her drove him almost insane al
| times.
/ All this he swore to, and much
more. He told how, just before il
/ became evident that his wife was to
bear him a child, he urged her to
| divorce him; how she refused; OF
the desperate straits in which this
/ placed him because of promises ne
had made to the Bromley girl and
