Washington, May 25.-Private dis
patches to the state department agree
that a negro revolutionary movement
in Cuba is hourly growing more seri-
GUS.
The Washington government, it can
be stated, is preparing for eventual
tiles but it will wait a day or 80 before
sending any more troops to the island.
Plans for increasing armed forces OF
the United States in Cuba do not con-
template intervention, President Taft,
it is said, being much averse to inter-
vention or any move that could be In
terpreted as such.

growing with alarming rapidity.
These reports apparently receive
confirmation in the extraordinary re-
tience of the government in It's in
crease of the severity of the telegraph
censorship, it's activity in enrolling
volunteers and the determination to
disptach Mjaor General Monteagudo
to take supreme command of the
troops operating in Oriente.

That the people OF Abbeville are deeply
interested in their public school system
was sufficiently attested last Thursday
evening" May %, when the theatre, in
which the graduating exercises were held.
was packed beyond its capacity by a crowd
Of interested spectators.
The bright colored background OF the
stage settings, around which were group
ed the members of the graduating class
the young ladies in their simple white
dresses and with their smiling faces-the
masses OF fragrant flowers, made up a
scene of beauty long to be remembered.
Tine exercises were enjoyed 10y all pres
ent, the program being carried out in a
manner to reflect credit upon teachers and
pupils.
The musical part Of the program, con-
sisting of duet and trio, were especial
ly enjoyable. The young ladies taking
part in this portion of the entertainment
displayed rare skill in their rendition and
earned the well-merited applause which
the sudience so generously bestowed upon
them.
The class papers were all bright and were
enjoyed by the audience.
Mr. james Cothran's rendition Of 1.-The
Death Bed Of Benedict Arnold" showed a
fine stage presence and rare ability as u
decaimer on the part of this young man.
The contestants for the declaimers' med
al were Miss Lou Ellen McFall, who re-
cited "Ben Hur's Chariot Race" Miss
Mary Lou Bowie, who rendered 'The Ride
OF Jennie McNeal;" Miss Lizzie Edmonds,
who recited "Zingarella."
Each and every one Of these young Ia
dies acquitted themselves with great cred
1t. The medal was awarded to Miss Lizzie
Edmonds by unanimous decision of the
committee, who awarded her mark of
100 for her spirited rendition Of this diff
cult defamation. The applause which
greeted Miss Edmonds at the conclusion
OF her recital attestrd the fact that the au-
dience was in full sympathy with the
judges. The committee which awarded
this medal was composed of D. II. Hill,
Esq, ]. Frank Clinkscales, Esq, and Mr..
j. NJ. Lawton. At the conclusion of the
exercises the medal was presented to the
winner by Hon. j. Moore Mars. The win
ming of the medal by so high mark is a
signal honor for this talented young lady
and is source Of qualification to her
friends.
Judge F. B. Gary presented the diplomas
to the graduating class.
Prof w. R. Bradley presided over the ex-
ercises.

Addresses a Huge, Enthus iastic Crowd at Audi
 torium.
HE SPARED NO ONE; l
Says He is Convinced That Taft Has
 and Political Privilege.

Chicago, June 17.-On the eve of the convention before which he is a candidate, convention wnch pro mises to be the most peculiar in his tory, Theodore Roosevelt tonight made his closing appeal to a shouting, cheering crowd that filled the audi- torium.
 The Colonel spared no one, least Sf all President Taft A prolonged dem onstration followed when iic sal
 "I am convinced tat Pro siGnnt Taft has surrel aered hinsrlf tO boss es a.:.: political privileges f',:,; aa1 r- hind them.''
 Colonel Roosevelt said there could be no compromise. He declared tEat h:s part sans would insist that the convention be purged of the n"me frandu'ently placed there by use Of the steam roller before even the fight on temporary chairman is had.
 By every consideration of real jus tice," he declared, "we are entitled to nave these men of whom l speak and who were elected by tn people on the roll at once. But we don ask this. We merely ask that neither set of contestants be allowed to vote on any question before the convention until the thousand members of the convention whose seats have not been contested shall themselves decide which of the contesting delegates is entitled to membership
 Colonel Roosevelt attacked the members of the National Committee with enthusiasm. The crowd caught the spirit and helped him with shout ing comments.
 'I have made my fight fair and square in the open," cried Colonel Roosevelt. And I have won,'' he fi- nally said.
 sIt is not so much my fight as it is yours," he continued.
 You bet, and we want you to lead us," shouted a big fellow in the back of the hall.
 "The National Committee, and who are they?'' inquired the Colonel.
 "About fifty people with the ratio of honesty ranging about fourteen to who were elected by the people ca ;he thing men,"
 There was cheer that shook the building.
 The Colonel mentioned Penrose Crane, Barnes, Franklin, and Murphy also.

He Sd V the incoming passenger train, due at the Union Station at 5:3O o'clock, as he reached Fourth avenue, but thought he would be able to get across before the train reached the corner. The horse just got across and the big engine struck the buggy, tearing it into kindling wood and throwing Major Isbell several yards, and off the track The horse was uninjured.
 Friends rushed to the scene expect ing to find him mangled and dying, but for few bruises and a severe shock he was uninjured. He was talk en to his home at No. 313 Martin ave- nue by E. A. Howell in his aItomo- bile where nasty examination show ed no broken bones and a physician was not called.

and LaOllette's 46. The Taft lines have held all day despi:a the activity of the Colonel. Even if the twenty spare votes go glimmering in the watches of the night they are sure that Roosevelt is beaten. No figures are given out by the Roos evelt men. A majority of four votes was the best that they figured in private when the last count was taken.
 In the hope of pressing his per- sona.ity more forcibly on the situa- ton than he has yet been able to do, Colonel Roosevelt himself went among the members of the Illinois delegation this morning, first with an appeal and then with thu >'t. What he wanted was a pledge that the delegation would vote solidly for the Roosevelt temporary chairman, thus helping to throw the organization to the Progressive side.
 The question of temporary chair manship is now of the utmost impor = ance to the Colonel. Shrewd enough to know the strenuous Value of a peaceful victory he is bending every effort to defeat Root for temporary chairman. 7sF
 Through the streets all day have marched scores of mem bearing ban ner attacks on the Senator written by the Colonel and his friends, and extracts. from Newspapers alluding to Root he still has 574 votes for the chairmanship according to, the esti- mates of Mckinley and Barnes.
 The parlimentarians on both sides of the contest have been at work through the afternoon perfecting plans for the battle that is to begin with the falling of the Rosewater gavel.

|TRf COLONEL IS 1 FIGHTING HARD worked All Day Yesterday On Uncertain Delegates
 From the South.
|1g NOT TOO CONFIDENT
1f They Stay Put We Have Them, He Says But is Not Certain When
 Test of Strength Will Come.

Chicago, June 17.-Colonel Roose-
 welt spent the day in fighting with all
 inc power he possed for delegates.
 When they day was over he said in
 effect:
 If they stay put we have them.'
 From the time Roosevelt went down
 to the Congress Hotel and shook
 hands with few hundred Roosevelt
 adherents until short time before | he departed for his speech at the | Auditorium he did not stop his efforts. ! During the day he used his blandish- ments upon some hundred Taft dele gates, many of them from the uncer- tain South.
 Roosevelt did not succeed in actual ly convincing the majority of the Taft delegates that they ought to vote for him for president, he did so, it was given at his headquarters, get a con- siderable number of them to promise that they would support him in the fight over the temporary chairman ship This gives his managers confi- dence tonight to prophecy that the Colonel would beat Root. When seen tonight Roosevelt con- fessed that he did not know what turn the convention is to take when it gets started tomorrow. He was uncertain about it to venture any prediction. He did not know if the Roosevelt people. would have their fest of strength on Tho roll call on the seating of dele rates or upon the temporary chair Ilanship.
 "All that is up in the air, he said. T have no idea where our test of strength is to come," continued the Colonel. q am as much in doubt about It as any one could be, because l Sont know how the convention will start off. It may be that we shall wait until the chairmanship comes up but don't know .-s
 Roosevelt's intention tonight, as nearly as could be .ascertained, vas b stay away from the convention to- morrow, but if he is needed later hc NH be ready. tt
 The Colonel shook hands with ad- h'rers for two hours today To two women delegates from California he remarked briskly:
 The women of California were the ones who first won me over to t9.e luea of woman suffrage. When they convinced me I cast all my reserve as!de and went in for it."
 A man from Indiana told the Col onel the Steam Roller had smashed him.

SUGAR CANE A NEW
INDUSTRY IN ARIZONA

PlIOENlN, AriZ., June 27.-If ex-
periments in progress are successful
and there is every reason for believing
they will be, another big money max
of the Salt river valley surrounding
this city, where profits are being
taken from a greater diversity of pro-
ducts than in any section of like area
in the nation. Sugar cane has been
grown in small quantities by the Mexi-
cans from the earliest times, but only
for home use as a garden luxury. This
year ii is being thoroughly tested by
the Southwest Sugar & Land company
at considerable expense with a view
10 determining the practicability of
its culture on a large scale About %
acres Of it were planted i'll patches OF
an acre or less in as many different
parts of the valley, that it might be
given trial under the varied condi-
tions of soil and water in widely sep
arated localities, and the company's
agriculturists report that in nearly
every instance the cane is doing just
as well as could be desired.
No sugar will be made this year for
the best of reasons. Manufacturers
know exactly what can be done with
good sugar cane, and the product of

RULER AFFRONTS WOMEN

PEKIN, June 27-Foreign bankers
in this city have informed the Chinese
government that their principals in
Europe and America insist on even
stronger measure of supervision of the
proposed loan than those suggested
by the Pekin bankers. Lu Chen
Hsiaag, minister of foreign affairs,
who is acting premier, informed the
financiers that China would not Dor
row money on such terms, and the
deadlock continues.
The ministerial crisis resulting from
Tang Shao Yfs resignation has de
veloped the fact that the acting pre-
mier, Lu Chen Hsing, is the strongest
candidate for the premiership. High
officials say that his appointment is
probable.
President Yuan Shih Kai received
two Chinese suffragettes Sunday who
demanded votes for women and the
right to hold office. Yuan rebuked his
visitors, saying it was ridiculous that
Chinese women, whose educatiOna
qualifications were far inferior to
those of American women, should as
pire to rights not conceded to the
| latter.

OROSI RED ORANGE LAND
IS MAKING TU1ARE COUNTY FAMOUS

The soil. the water, the climate at
Orosi, in northern Tulare county, COM
bine the elements necessary for grow
ing red oranges
The soil contains vast quantities of
iron; the climate is just right-seldom
too hot, and never too cold.
If you have been following the series
of articles appearing in this paper,
you are by this time pretty well post
ed on the advantages of the Orosi dis
trict for growing oranges.
These articles have told, in a con-
servative way, about the various pro-
ducts that can be raised-about Tu-
lare being the third county in the
state in orange production, supplying
cne-tenth of the total output last year
and of the present great develop
ment. They have told of Tulare
county peaches, grapes, apricots, figs,
olives, walnuts-but they have not
| told about Water Conditions in the
Orosi district. Now you'll be told
about the water.
