SEEKING OPTIONS IN TENTH STREET
Three Big Improvements Now Underway Nearing Com

A great passenger station of orna-
mental design and large enough to
take care of Harrisburg's constantly
growing demands is being planned in
the Philadelphia office of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, according to gen.
orally credited rumor in railroad cir
cles to-day.
The site for the new station is said
to be between North and Walnut
streets. 1t will cost upwards of sew
eral million dollars and will be situ-
ated so as to fit into the general land
scape scheme to be worked out for
the Capitol park extension.
Surveys recently were made north
ward from Market street to North
street and from Seventh street to Cam
eron street. Blue prints were pre-
pared of this section of the city and
sent to Philadelphia. Engineers IN
charge of the survey refused TO di-
vulge any business secrets, but one
property owner on Cowden. street
south of Walnut was told to look for
other quarters.
1t is understood that options have
been secured on Tenth street property
between Walnut and State, by the
Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t was learned
sometime ago that the Pennsy was
seeking additional yard facilities in the

murder committed July 20, 1903, and
broke Jail while under sentence of
death on July 10. 1909, the sheriff of

Cuban Revolt Being Put
Down by Authorities

Washington, Feb. Is. - State De-
partment reports from Cuba to-day
indicate that the government is maxi
ing some progress in putting down the
Liberal uprising.
The most important advantage won
by the followers of Zayas was at San
ttago where General Fernandez with
1000 of the regular army and as
many more armed civilians is in pos
session of the port. Minister Gonzales
has forwarded to the one American
naval vessel off Santiago the warning
from Fernandez, that the harbor is
mined.
Havana, Feb. 10. = Latest reports
from Las Villas show that the con-
servatives have large majority in the
recent election. Three rebels and two
troopers were killed in a fight between
the insurrectos under Baldomera
Acosta and forces under Colonel Car
rilo. In Manguaraya rebels under
Joaquin Gomez were dispersed by
troops who captured arms and horses.
There is no interruption in the oper-
ations of the sugar mills. The govern
ment has cahled the United States for
prices on the latest makes of air
planes.

Washington, Feb. Is. - While 1t
still was indicated that the accumula-
ton of violation of American right
might lead President Wilson to go be-
fore Congress at any time it was stated
to-day that he has made no definite
plans for taking such a step imme-
diately.
When he will go before Congress, it
was said, will depend entirely upon
circumstances. The opinion grew
among officials, however, that such q
step would not be long deferred.
Nothing has been heard by the state
Department early to-day from Ger
many in reply to its inquiry as to the
exact status of the Americans taken
into Germany on the prize ship Var
rowdale. Likewise no news came
from Ambassador Elkus at Constan-
tinople about Americans in Turkey.
Shipping Question Serious
The government began to-day to
feel the insistent need for some sort of
action soon to open a waY-fQr. move
ment of shipping now held up in
American ports by suspension of sail
ings on account of the German sub
marine campaign. Reports of the
accumlating freight now are reaching
officials regularly, and although the
situation is not yet regarded as serious,
it is apparent that American industries
will be affected unless ocean shipping
starts moving before long.
Law Sinking Illegal
The sinking of the American
schooner Lyman NJ. Law in the Medi-
terranean by an Austrian submarine
probably with warning, is regarded by
officials here as illegal inasmuch as
the cargo was not contraband and the
submarine displayed no flag. but since
no lives were lost it is believed the in
cident will not in itself develop into a
cause for drastic action by this gov
ernment.

AMERICAN GUNS ARE
BOOMING IN FRANCE

Likely That Artillery Will Beat the
Infantry to The FrOnt-To Com
plete Intensive Trsining of Gun
mrs Under Actual Battle Condi-
ti0ns
Associated Press Dispatch from
American Training Camp in France
Sept. IL. F>
American guns are booming in
France, booming under the eyes Of
observation balloons with airplanes
to trace each singing shrapnel shell,
each missile of high explosive de-
structiveness. Thus far, the guns
have not been turned against the en-
emy, but there is every likelihood
that the artillery will beat the in
fantry to the front. For it is plan
ned to complete the intensive train
ing of the gunners under actual bat
tie conditions, under the fire of Ger
man guns and with their own weap-
ons directed against occupied Ger
man trenches in various positions be-
hind the enemy lines.
While the plans Of the American
commanders are unknown, it would
seem logical from a military stand
point that after the artillery has COM
pleted several weeks of training at
the front in liason with the French
infantry and supporting guns, the
greater part of it would be Withdrawn
for maneuvers with the gradually
multiplying American infantry.
Artill'ry Arrival Kept Secret
The cooperation of artillery and
infantry is so close under modern
battle tactics that it is essential
they should be trained to act togeth-
er almost as one unit. And just as
the first contingent of American in
fantry will devote itself largely
through the fall and winter to train
ing other units as they arrive, SO
the first contingent of artillery will
train the batteries, regiments and
brigades which will be thrown into
France before the spring campaign
of 1913 is likely to begin.
While it is not known here what
| announcements have been made from
Washington, the arrival of a large
section Of American field artillery
in France has been kept a careful
ly guarded secret so far as Europe
is concerned. The announcement is
permitted now, only after the off
GERS and men have progressed fan
in their intensive training under
general supervision of Frances most
expert artilleryists.

There are no longer any French
