TWO WARSHIPS
RUSH TO HAVANA
Washington Sends Aid from Key
Wert on Beaupre's Plea.
ON VERGE OF A RACE WAR
Anti-Negro Demonstrations and Riots
Arouse Fears of Foreigners—Seri
ous Consequences Dreaded if
Blacks Are Goaded.
Washington.—Admiral lingo Oster
haus, Commander in Chief of the At
lantic Fleet, was ordered to Havana
forthwith with the armored cruiser
Washington and one other warship
picked by himself. He proceeded im
mediately from Key West with both j
vessels.
Orders for the dispatch of these two
vessels to Havana were given by the
Navy Department in response to a re
quest from the Secretary of State fol
lowing the receipt of an alarming cab
legram from Minister Beaupre at Ha- |
vana, which said that the situation in
Havana and its suburbs has been rap- j
idly growing worse, and lias now as- }
sumed the character of a race war. :
Urgent appeals for American warships i
Shave been made to Minister Beaupre j
by American and foreign residents of ;
Havana and by prominent Cubans.
As soon as this dispatch was receiv- ;
I ed the State Department got in touch j
i with the Navy Department, with the j
I result that Secretary Meyer directed
Admiral Yreeland, Aid for Operations, |
to have two vessels sent forthwith, j
; Admiral Vreelatid sent dispatches to j
| Admiral Osterhaus at Key West, di- j
! recting him togo in person with tho
| armored cruiser Washington, and an- j
| other vessel.
Havana.—The riot, while extending j
! to all parts of the city and causing [
| general excitement and alarm, result- j
ied in few casualties. One white on- j
looker was mortally wounded and sev
| eral negroes were injured. The dis- j
I turbance lasted only a short time.
The shifting of the Cuban storm
I center from the wilds of Oriente and
Guantanamo to the capital was regard- !
ed here as the final proof of the utter
demoralization of the Gomez govern
ment. it is now feared that the ne
| grovs have been goaded into despera- j
j tion and will stop at nothing to avenge 1
■ the persecution heaped upon them in
| the last two days.
It is well known that the Gomez gov
ernment is penniless, so destitute in
j fact that the appropriation by Con- j
gress of $1,000,000 last week with
| which to carry on the campaign :
I against the rebels, is regarded here as
i a farce and there is no money in the j
| treasury.
THOUSANDS HONOR COLUMBUS.
1 Memorial to Intrepid Discoverer Un
veiled in National Capital.
Washington.—ln the presence of
| thousands of people from all parts of |
I the country, who filled the huge stands
j erected ou the Union Station plaza, i
j the Italian Ambassador, the Marquis
Cusani Confalonieri, unveiled the mon
ument to Christopher Columbus, in {
the stand directly facing the memorial ]
was a large gathering of distinguished
persons, including the President of the j
United States, members of the Cabi- >
net, Chief Justice White, associate i
justices of the Supreme Court, Sena
tors, diplomats and Representatives.
Forty thousand Knights of Columbus [
from all parts of the United States a»d j
from Canada, Cuba and Mexico, in ad- j
dition to 10,000 soldiers, sailors and |
marines, marched in the parade that J
was reviewed by President Taft as a j
part of the ceremony of the unveiling, j
SUBMARINE LOST IN CRASH.
Vendemiaire of French Navy Smash
ed by Battleship St. Loula.
Cherbourg.—While attempting to j
steal upon the battleship St. Louis and j
theoretically torpedo her, the French
submarine Yendemiairesuddenly arose
to the surface under the very prow of
tho big warship. The next instant the
St. Louis bore down upon her midget
j opponent, rammed her full on the side
with terrific force and drove her be
neath the surface.
The submarine disappeared immedi
ately and is believed to have been cut
in two. carrying with her two officers
and twenty-two men.
PARLIAMENT BARS U. S. COAL, j
Canadian Product Will Be Used In
Buildings Next Winter.
Ottawa, Ont. —Next winter only Ca
nadian coal will be burned in the Do
minion Parliament buildings, where
annually several thousand tons are
used.
Up to now, American coal has been
used, but there have been complaints
and Canadian mine owners will now
supply the coal.
APPLES WITHOUT CORES.
Delaware Farmer is Raising Fruit
That Has No Seeds.
Georgetown, Del.—There will be no
core to throw away after one has eaten
an apple if Frank Itodgers, a fruit
grower here, succeeds in experments
he has under way. He owns a tree
that has produced now for two years
seedless and coreless apples.
The fruit is of the u ual size, and
very highly flavored. He is grafting
some of the twigs into other trees in
his orchard.
TWO PARTY LEADERS FROM THE EAST

MOVE TO PLEDGE
ALL THE DELEGATES
Republican National Committee Delib
erates at Chicago—Newspaper
Men Admitted.
Chicago.—The supporters of Presi
dent Taft had things their own way in
I the first session of the Republican Na
tional Committee.
The test vote was on Kellogg's mo
j tion to admit all newspaper men to
the sessions of the National Commit
i tee. The Taft men opposed this, say
j ing that representatives of the recog
! nized national press associations, serv
ing all the newspapers, would meet
i Qvery objeet of publicity. The 'I aft
] men won 39 to 13, with Nevada unrep
! resented.
Immediately after Victor Rosewater
; of Nebraska, acting chairman, called
; this meeting to order Col. Harry S.
New offered a resolution calling for
the election of Mr. Rosewater as chair
! man of the committee. This was unani
mously adopted. Mr. Rosewater has
I been acting chairman since the death
1 a number of months ago of John F.
' Hill of Augusta. Me. Mr. Rosewater's
! term of office as chairman will expire
! after the candidates of this convention
| have been nominated.
The widely advertised purpose of R.
B. Howell, national committeeman
j elect from Nebraska, to demand his
| seat in the national committee before
j the hearing of the contests, which Mr.
( Howell had declared, on the advice of
! Mr. Roosevelt, failed to materialize,
i Mr. Howell was guided by Mr. Roose-
I velt's own political managers, who
j told the aspiring Nebraskan that his
I claim to a seat at this time was far
too flimsy to warrant the attempt, that
j it was certain to be rejected by an al
| most unanimous vote of the connnit
i tee and that its rejection would be her
alded abroad as a sigal defeat for Mr.
! Roosevelt. Under the circumstances
| he decided not to submit his conten-
I tion.
Following the defeat of the Kellogg
i motion, the secretary of the coinmit
j tee was authorized to employ a force
j of expert stenographers to prepare
| and furnish to the members of the
j press other than representatives of
i the press associations verbatim copies
j of the proceedings. It Is estimated by
! Secretary Haywood that the sieno
j gaphic reports will reach members of
; the press from thirty to forty minutes
after the actual proceedings.
The Taft men resurrected the Ros
coe Conkling resolution of the conven
tion of 18S0, which binds all har,.l* :>nt
to bolt, and will try to slide it through
the coming convention to head off any
"run-out" by the Colonel.
The committee voted to give thirty
minutes and fifteen minutes a side for
j State and district contests respecttve
! iy.
Minnesota for Wilson.
Duluth, Minn.—Bryan's friends in
j Minnesota made an effort to stampede
the convention to putin second choice
instructions for him. They were long
on eloquence, but the matter came to
a vote and they proved a mere hand
ful. The original resolutions instruct
ing the delegates to vote as a unit for
Wocdrow Wilson until he is nominat
ed or until two-thirds of the delegates
agree that his •omination is impossi
ble went through with only a feeble
"No." "ihis was the only fight that de
veloped in the convention.
ORGANIZING FGR
THE CONVENTION
Status of Elected Members of
Republican National Committee
NO BOLT. SAYS J. M. DIXON
Roosevelt Wants Dixon to Be Selected
as National Chairman "in the Event
of Colonel's Nomination" —All
Factions in Fighting Mood.
Chicago. With the' convention
many days off the daily scenes in the
I hotel lobbies where delegates and poli
i ticians gather during a National con
vention, as well as at the Coliseum
Annex, where the convention head- \
quarters are located, have rivaled ,
i those which in other years were in j
evidence only on the very eve of the
convention itself. Not only is the full j
membership of the Republican Nation
al Committee represented here but the '
advance guard of delgates and con
testants, and leaders, who have no di
rect connection with the committee or j
the contests have been flocking into
the city.
A plan to meet at once the full force !
of Theodore Roosevelt's fight to von- j
! trol the organization of the Republican :
National Convention by making per- J
manent the organization, with Senator j
Elihu Hoot as chairman, was practical- 1
ly agreed on by Taft leaders. This is
in accordance with the wishes of the I
President.
The permanent chairman will be re- j
ported to the committee on permanent |
organization maJe up of one member
from each state and territory, report- J
ed from the floor of the convention, j
following the temporary organization, j
The wishes of the candidate for Presi
dent are usually consulted by the »on- ;
vention, and it is generally assumed j
that President Taft's friends will ]
strive to make Senator Root perman
ent presiding officer.
The Roosevelt campaign managers,
! who also have transferred their activi-
I ties to ths city, persisted in their pre- j
I dictions that Col. Roosevelt would be j
! nominated on the first ballot when the |
' Republican National Convention ■
meets. From neither side has there j
been forthcoming for publication any
thorough analysis of the situation to
bear out with convincing force the as
oertions of either.
Fresh from conference with Col.
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, Senator Dix
on and National Committeeman Wil
liam T. Ward of New York made it
clear that the Roosevelt managers
were net behind the claim of Mr. H«pv- ■
ell to a seat on the committee.
MINE JURISDICTION EXTENDS.
Passage of Foster Bill Gives Bureau
Authority Over All Mineral Products.
Washington.—The House passed j
the Foster bill enlarging the jurisdic- j
tion of the bureau of mines. The bu
reau has jurisdiction over only coal
mines. The Foster bill extends this
authority to cover the mining of all
metallurgical products and the quar
r> ing of slate granite, marble, etc.
It gives to the bureau the right to
prescribe rules for the health of the
mining operatives.

TO 00 ONLY NECESSARY WORK
Commissioner Bigelow and Assistants
Not Preparing for Construction —
Limited Amount of Money
Available.
(Special Harrisburg'Correspondence.
Harrisburg.—Organization of the
State Highway Department force for
the repair and maintenance of the i
main highway routes taken over by j
the State on June 1 is to be worked j
out as rapidly as possible by the divi- j
sion engineers and the superintend- j
ents, but owing to the limited amount j
j of money available this year, only j
| work that is absolutely necessary will
jbe done. Highway Commissioner E. j
j M. Bigelow and Chief Engineer S. D. j
Foster went over the details of the |
■ maintenance work and the assistant
j engineers, each of whom has from
I four to eight counties under his super- !
I vision, will arrange with the superin- >
| tendents of roads, each of whom will I
| have a county, except in cases of men j
| with small counties, for the actual j
work. This will include care of all im- !
; proved roads and the maintenance of
| all which are to be improved under i
the Sproul act. The work to be done
j will cover dragging, ditching, removal
! of blimps and the establishment of un
| derdrains wherever possible. To the j
i superintendents will be left the pur- |
chase of materials and the organiza
! tion of forces, as well as the mainten
ance of supply stations. The average
1 length of road under each superintend
; ent will be between 200 and 250 miles, j
I and in addition to carrying out what
i work is necessary this year to proper
ly lit the roads for travel, they will ad
vise the township supervisors who are ;
! in charge of dirt roads and lend assist
! ance wherever necessary. The com- |
j missioner announced the appointments j
j of thesesuperintendents: John Greene, j
York Haven, for York county; Charles
i P. Walter, Harrisburg, for Dauphin,
and Charles F. Sweeney, Curwens-
I ville, for Clearfield. Work has been
! started on preparation of a new list of
, road contracts to be advertised.
Milk Suits Begun.
Twenty-four prosecutions for tho :
, sale of milk having less than the State
standard of butter fats and seven for |
J the sale of vinegar that did not come i
| up to the mark were in the thirty-six |
I suits ordered instituted by Dairy and !
I Food Commissioner James Foust. It
i was the biggest day for prosecutions ;
in weeks. Thirteen of the milk suits ;
were ordered in Delaware county, the ;
i others being in Westmoreland, 5; Cen
! tre, 3; Blair, 2, while the vinegar
i cases were in Lycoming and Clinton.
In Philadelphia suits were ordered be- ■
cause men were selling oranges unfit j
for food and in Berks and Lehigh it
was found that ketchup had too much
: benzoate of soda.
Tener Lacks Authority.
| The question of an official inquiry
! into the anthracite coal situation in !
! Pennsylvania will be one of the mat- J
| ters that Governor Tener will place j
before the next Legislature. He said
that so far as he understands the ques- ;
j tion lie has no authority to order such .
! an inquiry. He says that he has no
I power to summon witnesses nor to 1
j compel them to testify. The matter
! will be placed before the Attorney j
J General and may later be referred to
the Legislature.
Good Bass Fishing.
State Fish Commissioner N. R. Bul
i ler says that he looks for some fine
! bass fishing this summer in spite of
I the weather conditions of the early
spring. Reports have been received
j which shows bass in many sections of
| the State and especially in the Susque
] hanna and eastern rivers. The bass
| season will open on June 15.
Capt. Vale Auditor.
According to gossip on the "Hill,"
Captain E. M. Yale, of the Auditor
j General's Department, is shortly to
| take a position with the State Rail
; road Commission.
Messenger Appointed.
Uriah Kreider, of Lebanon, has been
j appointed messenger in the Department
of Internal Affairs to succeed Captain
A. H. Mitchell, of Indiana, who has
been ill for some time.
Electric Railway Increase.
The Christiana Suburban Electric
Company, in which Congressman W.
W. Griest is interested, filed notice of
increase of capital from $35,000 to
$70,000. It will operate in eastern
Lancaster county and a number of
companies are consolidated with it.
Sewage Plant Approved.
State Commissioner of Health Satn
; uel G, Dixon has approved plans for a j
sewage disposal plant for the Somerset
! county almshouse. The plant was re
| commended by the commissioner and
will be installed within a short time.
The State Hospital for the Criminal
Insane is also to have a sewage dispos
al plant, plans having been approved
for one for the new institution in
Wayne county. This will prevent any
sewage from th(* higli-perched prison
from polluting the subbly of the town
of Waymart.
