Cuban Commander Expects to Make
a Decisive Move Against Rebels
in Orente Province.

Havana, Cuba.-President Gomez
telegraphed General Monteagudo, the
commander-in-chief of the Cuban
army, who is at the scene of hostili-
ties in the province of Oriente, stat,
ing that the general might permit
American marines to land on Cuban
soil to guard foreign property.
The dispatch added that the Cuban
forces then might retire from guard
ing such places and devote themselves
to pursuing the insurgents.
The message of President Gomez
was report covering the history of
the present revolt and the means
taken by the government to suppress
it. The message said the government
had been successful in all the prov
inces except Oriente. 1t transmitted
copies of the correspondence relating
to the uprising which had passed be
tween Cuba and the United States
and also the copy of a dispatch SEN
to General Monteagudo by the com
mandant of the American naval sta
ton at Guantanamo, acquainting Gen
eral Monteagudo of his intention tt
send the marines of the Sunboat Pa
ducah to Daiquiri to protect America
property there.
Interest in Havana Centered on tn
question whether the United State
gunboat Paducah would land marine
at DaiQuiri to protect the property c
the Sbanish-American Iron compan!
It overshadowed completely all the RI
ported occurrences from the theate
of hostlities.
The American legation received al
vices from Daiquiri that the plant
the iron company had been attacked
but that its assailants were held l
check by forty guards, who later wei
reinforced by 100 other men. TIL
combined force drove off the insur
ents and on the arrival of the Pad
cab the fighting was over, and a
parently there was no necessity II
the aid of American marines.

BRYAN'S ALLEGED PLAN

A plan to stampede the Democrat
ic national convention for William
Jennings Bryan is under way. Harvey
CARRIER, national committeeman from
Ohio, and former Representative
John ]. Lentz, of Columbus, Ono,
are among the prime movers OF q
plan that has for its purpose the nom
ination of the thrcc-time candidate
for the Presidency.
CARRIER and Lentz have been at work
secretly, but some of the plans be-
came known today when it was dis
covered that CARRIER had conference
with Charles w. Bryan, brother OF
the Ncbraskan. 1t also became known
that during William Jennings Bryan's
stay in Chicago last week Lentz had
frequent telephone conversations with
him on the subject of the Presidency
Mr.. Bryan plans to make tight II
the convention on the old-timc unit
rule of the Democratic party by
which State delegations can be bouno
to one candidate. Gov. Harmon Sc
cured the solid support of the Ohio del
egation by the application of this
rule. Bryan's plan is to wage a fgh'
against it and in this way he hopes
to split the Ohio delegation. 1t l:
known that seventeen members OF th'
delegation are at heart Bryan men
and that were an opportunity glve'
they would jump at the chance t.
, swing in behind the Nebraska man
/ Should the stampede, as planned b,
Bryan's friends, finally materlallzc
Bryan would have the advantage s.
far as Ohio is concerned.

CONE TEDDY TOO MANY"

Under the caption zone Teddy Too
Many" Col. Henry Watterson says
in the Courier-Journal:
"Thc attitude of Mr.. Bryan to the
Democratic party is precisely the at
titudc of MIR. Roosevelt to the Repuh-
ican party.
"Mr. organs confession of faith is
little other than Mr.. Roosevelt'S con-
rcsson of faith Each has blend
peculiarly his own, but both confuse
politics and morals.
"'rhe difference between them is one
of character and manner, Mr.. Bryan
dccorus, Mr.. Roosevelt indecorus. Mr..
BRYAN belongs with Mr.. Roosevelt in
the new party of supermen just or
ganizcd at Chicago, rather than
among the men merely of flesh and
blood, who on Tuesday are to assem-
bic in Baltimore.
"if it were big enough to hold the
two Of them he might be welcomed
there, and it may be that he will get
there yet.
"Thc National committee acted with
in its rights in the appointment of q
temporary chairman. In selecting
Judge Parker it proposed the only
other living Democrat who shares with
Mr.. Bryan the distinction and misfor,
tune of having lost a presidential ell
cction. A felow-feeling should make
MIR. Bryan kinder.
LET us hope that when he reache;
the scene Of action and confers witt
wise and unselfsh Democrats, he vii
realize the full meaning and porten'
of the spectacle he proposes as a cur
tain raiser to a body Of Democrat:
charged with such momentous bust
ness, as well as the spiritual twinshli
he is counting with Theodore Roose
welt. Surely d single Roosevelt wer'
enough for both parties and al
time"

HOW SOME DISTRICT ATTOR-
NEYS HAVE FEATHERED
THEIR NESTS.

One of the severest indictments OF
the many that Democrats will make
against the present administration
when the coming campaign gets into
full swing, will have to do with the
conduct of the Attorney Generals Of
flee. Within the last four years a
number of assistants to the Attorney
General, together with several Federal
district attorneys, all of whom work
under the direction of the Attorney
General and the Department Of JUS
tice, have drawn down huge fees for
work in trust prosecutions that should
have been done by them in return for
their salaries. In many instances
they resigned from government places
at fixed salaries to accept work for
fees.
The most conspicuous instance OF
this practice is found in the case Of
the present Secretary of War, Henry
L. Stimson. Mr.. Stimson was former
~ U. S. District Attorney for the dis
trict of New York, and when the pros
ecution of the sugar fraud cases was
undertaken it was his duty, as district
attorney, to prosecute the charges for
the government.
Knowing how the Attorney Gener-
ais office was conducted and seeing
a chance to get fat fee from the
government for doing the work that
he had sworn to do as district attor-
ney at $4,000 year Stimson prompt
ly resigned the district attorneyship,
and was as promptly appointed special
counsel for the government. BY this
method he drew down $4,000 In spe-
cial fees. Notwithstanding this huge
outlay of Uncle Sans money and re-
gardless of the fact that the Sugar
Trust was proven to have taken mil
lions from the government through
short weight scales, not a single own
er of officer of the Trust was punish
ed. The money paid out to Stimson
might just as well have been dumped
into New York Harbor.
w. T. Dennison was assistant dis
trict attorney under Mr.. Stimson at
the time, and he too resigned his
place, which paid $4,000 a year, and
was made special counsel, for which
he received $3.50 in special fees.
Marion Erwin was district attorney
for the southern district of Georgia.
and was in duty bound, under the
terms of that Office to prosecute what
arc known rs the Carter, Greene and
Gavnor cases. Just as these eases
were about to go into court Erwin
promptly resigned his Place. and was
Immediately made special counsel. As
district s,.torncy he would have drawn
his salary 90 $500 for prosecuting
the eases. As special counsel ne al
ready has received $l26,ld0, and ne
isn't through yet.
Numerous instances Of this practice
could he cited. They are all IN Inc
with the general policy of loot and
extravaganza that has prevailed under
the present and former Republican
administrations.

IMPROVEMENT OF FAIRFAX ST

The debris incident to the repaving
and packing of Fairfax street, be-
tween Prince and Duke, has been clear
ed away, and the picture of one of the
prettiest squares in Alexandria is now
presented. The vitrifed brick road
way, granolithic sidewalks and beau
tiful swards has completely metamor-
phoscd the square and sent the inn
provement fever up several degrees
among property owners south. Should
the propersition to make similar I'M
provements as far south as Frank
lin street crystalize, q walk upon that
thoroughfare in the near future
would be suggestive of the Inter den
Linden of Berlin.
Vitrifed brick and high class mod
ern roadways have been laid upon
about forty squares in Alexandria dur
ing the past eleven years, and the
work has been done with the concur
renee of the abutting property own
ers. The investments have progress
y ed quietly with no blarc of thrumpets
and to the satisfaction OF all interest
and to the satisfaction of all interest
Heretofore the city only paid one
third of the cost of such improvements
but the city has born the cost OF two
thirds of the improvements referred
to above. The outlay to the citizens
is comparatively small and property
owners are given five years in which
to pay their quota. In every case
where modern streets have been con-
structed property owners would not
return to the previous conditions fol
five of six times the amount eXpend,
ed.
People living on Duke street be-
tween Fairfax and Royal, set the en-
ample in that section of the city, ano
it was quickly followed by those llv
ing around the corner.
The narrowing of the roadway
leaves abundance of room for VEN
cIes to PASS each other and to make
Turns. and it has been demonstrates
that on residential streets twenty
seven foot roadway is all that IS nee
essary.
The making of street Improvement
on the plan recently adopted by TN
City Council is al reasonable peopl
should require. 1t is true some citl
zens insist that the entire cost Shoui
come out of the general fund am
they urge many reasons why Uni
should be done on their plans. Other
however, in most cases people direct
" effected, have viewed the matte
through different lenses. Under tn
present plan no complaint can be ure
ed by people living in any section
the city to the effect that improve
ments are slow in, reaching their re;
pective localities, but residents OF an
quarter can avail themselves of til
improvements, whenever they ar
ready to pay their small apportlol
ment.
Should the cost of improvements

would be an incessant clamor as
which section of the city should

P0LLARDS TURN MlSHAP
INTO REAL TRIUMPH

The Pollard Iiliputians turned a
disaster into a triumph last night.
when, forced to give UP the opening
performance of "The Mikado" be-
cause of the death of the real Mikado
in Toxic, the Pollards switched into
vaudeville with only few hours no.
tice.
The house was good-sized one
and very enthusiastic, and although
the program ran without a stop until
nearly half-past 10 o'clock, everyone
stayed. A succession of specialties
and a picture or two filled the even
ing, and the specialties were unusual-
ly clever.
Teddy Mcnamara was at his best,
and laughable he was in various
stunts, among which was a Scotch
turn during which he sang, Il Love
a Lassie. = Eva Pollard In songs and
dances, Nellie Mcnamara in a beauti-
full contralto solo. Queenie Williams
in pessimistic sort of song, Willie
Bevan with a really clever topical
song on paper-bag cookings part OF 1t
Leslie Donagho, Joy
Moore in dances, and all the others
scored individual hits.
In fact, the show was good enough
to deserve patronage during the two
more nights when it will be given.
