TO END CUBAN WAR
$50 MARINES AND GUNBoAT SENT
TO ISLAND REPUBLIC.
Self-Government Will Be Terminated
Washington Believes, and Soldiers
Will Be Kept There Indefinitely.

Washington, May 25.-The gunboat
to hurry from Santo Domingo to
Guantanamo, where she will reinforce
the Paducah and the Eagle, now at
thai point
Seven hundred and fifty marines
We're hurriedly embarked aboard the
transport Prairie at the Philadelphia
navy yard and are now on the Cuban
coast
An army of 5000 men thoroughly
equipped for an arduous campaign in
the tropics is being made ready to
embark aboard five transports at
Newport News.
In statement issued here Thurs
day the state department expresses
the belief that the negro instruction
was organized for the express purpose
of provoking intervention by the
United States. 1t states further that
the Cuban military authorities admit
that the situation is serious.
Convinced that the American gov
eminent will be forced to intervene
the army war college and the general
staff is now hard at work upon plan
of campaign that embraces the en-
tire eastern end of Cuba.
Tho plan being drawn by the wal
college contemplates landing 1900
troops of the first expedition at Ha
Vana and 5000 at Santiago.
1t is stated III Washington that ii
United States troops go into Cuba
they will remain there indefinitely
and perhaps for all time.
Havana, May 25.-A report has
reashed here that Gen. Evaristo Es
tenor and General Ivonet, leaders OF
the insurgent negroes, have sent ennis.
saries to the camp of the commander
of the government troops near Guam
tanamo for terms of peace.
The Cuban government is deter.
mined not to accept anything less
than an immediate and unconditional
surrender. Throughout Oriente a con
dition of panic prevails. The white
planters and storekepers and their
families are taking refuge in the
cities. ~ !.

A young laundry girl addressing the
Twilight club upon the conditions I'M
der which her comrades live and
work said: Sometimes college girls
work in the shops for a couple OF
weeks, and then go back and report
that it is all nonsense for working
girls to say they can't get along on
the wages they get. But 1t is a diff.
ferent thing to get along on 81 a
week when you know you can quit
at any time" II the truth of that
saying lies the chasm that separates
the well-to-do from the very poor By
most men and women of means every
effort to assist or even to understand
the problems of the poor is made I'M
der an impulse of sentiment says the
New York World. But to the poor
themselves the problem Is one of dire
struggle for existence, including in
it's scope the life not only of the body,
but of the brain and the soul. A
working girl no more than a million
aires daughter can live by bread
alone. The fragrance of white hya-
cinths smells as sweet in the slums
as on the mountain heights of for
tune. Why should the worker of the
slums be judged solely by economic
tests?
