PEACE 1ST HEIGH
Restore Order or Marines Will
Enter Cuban Territory.
President Gomez' Pretest Will Not
Alter Washington's Plant One Jot
and Neither Will Any Further Pro
test From Him Make Any Different
Effect Roaming Bands of Negroes
Do Damage.
Washington, May 28. Only prompt
rostoratlon of order by the Cuban gov
ernment can now keep United States
marines out of the territory ot that re
public. Communications exchanged
between President Taft and President
Gomez In the last 24 hours have dem
onstrated the one fact that this gov
ernment Is firmly determined to af
ford all protection necessary to the
American Interests In Cr.ba nnd Amor
lean citizen In that island.
Gomez Must Check Revolt.
Either Gomez must check the negro
revolt or the United States will pro
tect its own. Colonel Karniany now
has authority to send his marines be
yond the Guantanamo reserve If ha
dee-ma it necessary after arrival there.
Replying to the Gomez note pro
tecting analnst the naval demonstra
tion In the vicinity of Cuba, Presi
dent Tart assured the Cuban execu
tive thnt the measures taken were
not for the purnose of Intervention in
Cuba by the United State. At tho
same time the Taft note to Gomez
did not pledge the United States not
to intervene. It simply asserted that
intervention was not now intended by
this government.
Mpanvhllo the naval mobilization
at Key West Is being carried out ex
actly according to schedule and with
the greatest dispatch nnd celerity.
By tomorrow niRht the United
States will have, off the Cuban cons
nine big fighting ships with about 2.
500 marines on board, while 750 more
marines will be landed at Guantana
mo, supported by two gunboats.
Gomez' Protest Will Not Avail.
President Gomez' protest has not
altered the Washington plans one jot
and neither will any further protest
from him make any different effect.
Reports from Cuba received at the
stnte department did not show the
slightest improvement in the situa
tion. All the dispatches told of scat
tered disorders, roaming bands of ne
pores, demands upon managers of in
dustrial enterprises for money under
threats of violence and the organiza
tion of volunteer guards in the Cuban
towns.
There was nothing in the least to
support the statements In President
Gomez' note that his government was
capable of taking care of the negro up
rising. TROOPS LEAVE HAVANA
Cuban Commander and 900 Soldiers
Sail For Santiago.
Havana, May 28. General Montea
gtido, tho cammander-in-chief of all
the armed forces in Cuba, sailed from
here with a large force at 7 oeloek
lat night for Santiago on the cruiser
Cuba which has just arrived from the
yards at Philadelphia and the Herrera
line steamer Julia which had been
pressed hit oscrvice as a transport.
Besides the general and his staff,
there were 900 men and a lot of ma
chine guns. Havana is now denuded
ol troops.
President Gomez gave out two leng
thy interviews for the Amerlenn press.
The gist of these wna that the revolt
exists In only nine townships in San
tiago province.
In reply to President Taft's despatch
In regards to protection of American
property and non-intervention, which
was an answer to the formal iprotest
of President Gomez in regards to tho
movement of American forces towards
Cuba,' the Cuban executive last night
sent tho following cablegram to the
Washington government:
"I thnnk yon beyond measure for
your cablegram which while trannul
lizlng Cuban patriotism, with the as
surance that your government will
limit Itself to observe events with tho
disposition in case of necessity to pro
tect the lives and property of Amer
icans and morally support the Cuban
government, without the necessity of
landing troops on our territory save
in case of extreme necessity, and on
the understanding between both gov
ernments to that end. This proves tho
sincerity of government and people
of the United States and their noble
and friendly sentiments towards the
government and people of Cuba who
are determined as toon as possible to
restore peace without any vacillating
nnd without stopping at any sacrifices
which the circumstances may demand.
"JOSE GOMEZ."
General Ivonnet says the govern
ment has offered him and General
JCstenoz each $40,000 to lay down their
arms.
Genera! Ivonnet occupies an almost
Impregnable- position in the same hill?
from which the Spnniards often fu
tllely tried to dislodge the Cuban re
volutionists. Englishmen Favor Annexation.
London, My 28. The Evening Stan
dard, commenting on the situation in
Cuba, says: "Englishmen who have
millions Invested in Cuba would like
nothing better than to see the island
annexed by the United States. Tim
present revolution will be a blessing
in disguis? If it hastens annexation."

Forbid Colonel to Criticise Taft at
Alexander Hall, Princeton.

DIPPED IN VAT OF TAR
Brutal Treatment Accorded an
Unprotected Female.
Victim Was Taken From Her Home,
Showered With Blows and Kick Up-
on Her Face and Limbs, the Lights
of the Town Being Turned Out, it
is Alleged by Village Officials-
State Will Investigate Outrage.
Never has Worcester county, Md.,
been more stirred 1han It Is over the
action of a gans of thugs, who, claim
Ing official protection, dragged Mary
Holzman, an unprotected woman from
her home hi Ocean City, Md showered
blows and kicks upon her face and
limbs and concluded their perform
nnce by dipping her Into a vat of tar
In the presence of her 11-year-old son,
w-bo struggled to prevent the outrage.
Terrorized by her experience, the
woman has quit the town. She is
now being sheltered by "Tom" Jones,
a neero, who lives out In the country
throe miles.
One of the most startling features
cf the Incident is the fact that the
town's lights were out when the as
sault wps committed. Mrs. Holzman
savs the switch was turned through
the connivance of town officials.
However this may be, the men
Knilty of the outrage boasted while
they were subjecting her to the in
dignities that their act had the sanc
tion of the town council. Since then
the bonst has been repeated by them.
Although the officials of Worcester
county seem to have given evidence
that they would be perfectly willing
to have the whole Incident blow over
without taking action, they have at
last realized that this cannot be done.
Sheriff Hanson, acting under In
structions of State Attorney Johnson,
vls'ted Mrs. Holzman at the Jones
home where It was arranged that she
should b taken under protection to
Snow Hill, the county seat. She de
mands an Investigation saying she Is
the victim of defamatory gossip as
well as a most brutal assault.
Mrs. Holzman says the men who
assaulted her were fishermen. She
was known In the community as "Red
Light" and resentment was aroused
against her because of the charge
that was made that she harbored col
ored men. She declares there Is ab
solutely no truth In the reports and
maintains that the offensive epithet
applied to her is entirely unjustified.
West'ield Woman Ends Life.
Mrs. Belle Rudd, who lived with her
son, Clarence, at Westfleld, N. Y.,
ended her life by taking an ounce of
pritsslc acid. She died within a few
minutes. Mrs. Rudd awaited the corn
log of her son Clarence from May
vllle. He arrived ahovt 2 a. m. and
went to bed. Shortly afterwards he
heard cries from his mother's room
nnd found her lying en the bed un
conscious. It is said that the had
been brooding over family troubles.
A note was found on a stand by Dr.
Foster, It was written In an old stylo
shorthand and has not been read yet.

front of a River street car In Hornell,
August Schonort, 20 years old. who
lives with h's parents in Hillside
place, In that city, was run down and
probably fatally Injuroe'. According to
witnesses Schottert was riding his
wheel alongside the car and near the
corner of John street spurted to cross
in front of the ear. He was knocked
tinder the wheels before Motorman
Chisholm could apply the brakes. Tho
car had to ho jacked tip before the
body could be taken out.
Los Child !n Stump Hole.
The 1 "-months-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Shaffer of Perryvllle, Pa., mys
teriously dlsapieared and the whole
countryside was aroused. All night
long scores of men scoured the woods
and fields In search of the missing
child and his supposed captors. At 9
o'clock In the morning two of the
searchers came uion the lost child
asleep In a hole made by the uproot
ing of a large tree, a half mile from
his home. He had evidently tumbled
In and was unable to get out.
Trial by Jury Denied Thaw.
'Trial by Jury denied" was the only
memorandum filed by Justice .Martin
Keogh at White Plains, N. Y., in th.i
case of Harry K. Thaw, who, in his re

be passed upon by a jury. This opin
ion was filed by the secretary of Jus

TO PROBE PRICE OF COAL
U. 8. Attorney at Philadelphia Ordered
to Investigate.
Philadelphia, May 28. That the
Philadelphia Coal exchange and the
Heading company will be called on to
explain the sudden and arbitrary ad
vance In the -price of coal was made
evident here when the United States
attorney was authorized by the depart
ment of Justice at Washington to com
mence Immediately an Investigation
of the charges that had been made
with regard to the advance In prices
In this city.
District Attorney Rotan hns also
begun an Independent investlsition,
and It Is believed that his inquiry
will be as effoctinl as was his cru
sade against the ice trust three years
ago, which had the effect of restoring
old prices in one of the hottest sum
mers on record and when there was
concerted action to comnel the poor
to pay excessively for the necessity.
The complaints which have been
made to Washington have been insti
tuted by the Consumer's league of
(his city. The league has secured evi
dence which will be particularly perti
nent, since the complaint nifects an
article which comes within the inter
state commerce act. On this ground
the government has been able to lake
a hand In the Investigation, and agents
of the secret service are here InvestI
gating tie charges, which were sent
to the department of justice, in order
that an early report may be made and
Immediate action commenced by tho
government if It Is found that they
can be substantiated.
