pedition to Cuba.
Cubans are discussing the j
organization of an annexation j
party.
The Insurgent forces will I

Havana (Special). Cuba Is un
der American control. The prophecy
of Senator Dolz that Its Inhabitants
would retire as Cubans and awaken
Americans has come true. Marines
were landed to guard the treasury
and rural guards patrolled the
streets under orders of the American
commissioners. Every movement now
awaits the nod of approval of the
American War Secretary.
Havana (Special). Four hundred
and fifty marines were sent to Clen
fuegos Sunday night by rail as a
precaution, news having been re
ceived by Governor Taft that fight
ing was liable to occur between the
insurgents and the rural guards and
militia. The marines will reinforce
those already there, who were landed
from the Marietta and Dixie. The
111 feeling between the Cubans at
Clenfuegos Is very strong. That is
the city where the disturbances took
place last year.
Some excitement is reported at
Sancti Splritus. An order has been
given to land 100 marines from the
Tacoma Monday at Tunas de Zaya,
the nearest port to Sanctl Splritus.
A thousand men will be landed at
Havana. They will camp at Camp
Columbia. The forces which are now
coming will be landed at different
places on the island.
The first landing of any consider
able number of Americans took place
Sunday night, when 450 marines
came ashore from the squadron in
the harbor. This force proceeded
for Clenfuegos at 9-o'cIoek on a spec
ial train. It was explained that this
movement was not made on account
of any actual trouble In Clenfuegos,
but for the purpose of exerting a
calming influence on the local situ
ation, which contains some possibili
ty of a conflict by reason of the tense
feeling existing between the govern
ment volunteers and the Insurgents.
The battleship Kentucky arrived.
The Indiana, with two colliers, is
expected. The Texas, Prairie and
Brooklyn are expected in a few days.
The negotiations between the
Funston Commission and the com
mission appointed by the Insurgents
for the delivery of the rebels' arms
are progrestilng. General Castillo,
although he expects the necessity for
the delivery of arms. Is touchy about
aome of the details. He desires the
Americans to take some measures
against the Moderates, which would
be unwise in the circumstances.
There is no danger that General
Castillo will do anything to put ob
stacles in the way of peace. Pino
Ouerra and Ashert are doing their
b"t to facilitate matters. General
Guzman, froi.t Santa Clara, is ex
pected hors Monday. No trouble is
feared in that province, except at
Clenfuegos. The governor of Santa
Clara, General Alaman, who is a
rabid part sau of ex-President Pal
ma, -tftTcifred his resignation, but
Governor Taft has asked him to
withdraw it. The provisional, gov
ernment considers his services nec
essary In re-establishing order.

at Washington, to withdraw his
resignation. Ha hat also Instructed
the Cnban department of stata to
cable to all tha Cuban representa
tive abroad to retain thalr offices
until further notice. '
A strong annexationists feeling Is
growing. There Is talk of organis
ing an annexationist party, which
has never been done before. Some
Moderate are taking a prominent
part lu this movement.
The day at the palace passed quiet
ly and rather gloomily.
There are as yet no signs or Sec
retary Taft's actual occupancy of
that edifice, which Sunday was the
scene of a number of farewells to
ex-President Palma and his family.
The members of the diplomatic corps
and the foreign consuls called in a
body to say good-by.
The Funston commission and the
revolutionary commission have
agreed that the horses captured or
seized by the rebels might bo kept,
but the Cubans raised a point about
the arms, which General Funston re
fused to concede, ihey wish to keep
the arms, which are the private prop
erty of some of their men, arguing
that they bought these arms with
their own money and have always
kept them in their houses. The arms
were used for hunting doer and other
purposes.
A largely attended meeting of
rebels was held Sunday nt General
Ashbert's camp, near San Francis
co de Paula. Senor Zayas made an
appeal to the men to lay down their
arms. Juan Gualberto Gomez and
General Ashbert also spoke. They
said that in a few hours they would
all go to their homes, for now there
was no further necessity for their
services in behalf of liberty. They
declared that the new elections prom
ised by Governor Taft would be
fairly conducted.
General Funston expects to remain
In Havana In general charge of the
work of disarmament. When this is
completed he will take command of
all the United States troops in Cuba.
Rebel Generals Happy.
Gen. Pino Guerra, speaking Sun
day of the new situation in the is
land, said all the men of his forces
were eminently satisfied with the ar
rangements. He expressed the be
lief that the stability of the govern
ment was now assured and predicted
that never again would there be n
revolution in Cuba, thanks largely
to the United States government for
the hand It bnd taken in the settle
ment of the difficulty.
While mnny of his men wanted to
parade In Havana before dispersing,
their commanders regarded this as
unnecessary, and General Guerra
said there would be no demonstra
tion that would permit of the possi
bility of a renewal of the previous 111
feeling. Asked whether his men
shared his contentment, General
Guerra said:
"The men under our commands
will obey us. Those who do not cer- j
tainly never were with us. The
revolution is ended and we have
won, so we are supremely content."

Its history raged here furiously all
Thursday night and Friday morning
and with a gale still blowing, the city
presents a wrecked appearance and
the damage is estimated at $5,000,-
000.
The loss .of life will be heavy
among the mariners, but so far only
one body has been recovered, a man
named George Morgan, a fisherman.
Other bodies are reported along the
shore, but have not been recovered.
Commencing at 7 o'clock, the wind
blew at 50 miles for three hours,
then increased to 63 miles. From
that time until 5 o'clock A. M.. it re
mained about 80 and 90 miles an

Into the city for blocks, destroyed
homes and making rivers out of
streets.
When the gale was at Its highest,
women and children were running
frantically about the streets in dark
ness, the alarm of fire was sounded
and this added to the confusion.
The fire started in the Pitt Mill,
near the business district, and horses
of the fire department refused to go
out in the weather. With the tin
roofs flying about them: trees and
wires falling over them the firemen
took their hose wagons by hand and
rushed down the streets to the scene.
and after hours of work controlled
the blaze.
War Vessels May lie Lost.
No communication can be had with
the navy yard, but it is believed that
the yard has been badly damaged. A
number of warships were there.
The vessels there undergoing re
pairs were the gunboats Vixen, Ma-
chlas, Isla de Luzon and Gloucester,
besides several smaller craft and the
quartermaster's steamer Poe. They
were in an exposed position, and it
is feared they may have been
beached.
Of the 50 or 60 big steamers and
sailing vessels lying in the harbor

Union Depot, has been unroofed,
many plate-glass windows broken,
stocks badly damaged and wires and
poles all mixed up together. There
are no electric-light, car, telegraph

ing everything in sight. Several ar
rests have been made, but It Is im
possible to protect property under
such conditions.

A GREAT FEAT
n BOSSES
The Pennsylvania Railroad's Tunnol
in Washington.
STATIONS AT THE OFFICE BUILDINGS.
Completion of an Important Fea
ture Connected With the Con
struction of Terminals There
Separate Bores for Trains Going
in Each Direction.
Washington, D. C. (Special). Tho
great tunnel of the Pennsylvania
Railroad that runs under Capitol
Hill, between the Cnpltol and the
Congressional Library, was finished
Thursday. It was Intended that
President Cassatt. of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, and some of the of
ficials of the company, should be
taken through the tunnel. But, ow
ing to Mr. Cassatt's illness, the plan
was abandoned. The tunnel is about
four-fifths of a mile Ions:, and is
about 80 feet below the surface of
the street on Capitol Hill. Of all tho
many engineering feats involved In
the construction of the new terminals
of the ' Pennsylvania Railroad, the
building of this tunnel was regard
ed with most apprehension. Con
gress cheerfully gave its consent to
the building of miles of solid mason
ry walls and steel bridges over the
streets, and all the other details of
the great work, but committees of
the House and Senate were in ses
sion more than a year hearing the
engineers of the Pennsylvania Rail
road and other expert testimony be
fore they were finally convinced that
a tunnel could be built under the
plaza between the Capitol and the
Library without endangering eithor
of those massive buildings.
The work was begun In December,
1903, at New Jersey Avenue and D.
Streets, Southeast, from which point to
B Street the work was done in open
cut. Here the actual tunneling com
menced. Four drifts, two upper and
two lower levels, Just large enough for
two men to work, were pushed forward
and the timbering emplaced. As the
timber ftrch wns formd great shovels,
operated by compressed air, dug out
the core, tho material being hauled
away on cars.
The tunnel is known as a "twin"
tunnel, so called because it couslsts
of two parallel tubes, separated by a
masonory wall, thus making each
tube an individual tunnel, contain
ing a single track. ThiB not only
eliminates the danger of collisions
since trains in the west tube are
southbound and those In the east
tube are northbound, but it will mako
traveling far more comfortable slnco
the trains In each tube, going only
one wny, will clear the tunnel of
the gases and the smoke by the cur
rent created by the train's motion.
The work of building the parallel
tubes was hindered by many serious
difficulties, first of which was tho
presence of water and quicksand, but
by the exercise of care and engineer
ing skill, all these difficulties were
finally surmounted and today tho
tunnel men turned the tunnel over to
the track layers for their work.
The tunnel cost $2,000,000. Where
it approaches the corner of B Street
and North Capitol a tunnel will be
built to a station in the subcellar of
the office building of the House of
Representatives, so that representa
tives coming from New York or other
cities on tho Pennsylvania can go di
rectly to their offices in the building
from their train. A similar tunnel will
be built to the building that is now
being constructed for suites of of
fice rooms for the Senate nt the other
end of the Capitol plaze.

Mrs. Halliday to the murder. Mrs.
Halliday had displayed a great deal
of affection for Miss Wicks and the
nurse had made her one of the most

HE wld ma JEWS
Kaalbar Thinks It "Undesirable"
" To Stop Massacre.
Odessa (By Cable). Replying to
a deputation of municipal officials,
who complained of tho violence dally
committed by members of the League
of the Russian People against peace
ful citizens, Jews and Christians
alike, Governor-General Kaulbar raid
that the preservation of order wa a
matter concerning the police, but
he personally doubted whether It was
possible or even desirable to attempt
to suppress the exasperation of the
loyal elements against the revolu
tionary students, who were guided
exclusively by Jews. These loyal ele
ment Included the Emperor' best
sons, whom the Government esteem
ed Its most dutiful citizens.
Dismayed at these expressions of
the Governor-General, the municipal
officials suggested that the victims
were mostly defenseless inhabitants,
who were not concerned in the revo
lution, to which General Kaulbars re
plied that he regrtied that this wa
the case, but must say that tho
population was thus punished for tol
erating revolutionists among them
instead of delivering them to Justice.
I do not think there will be fresh
outbreaks," said Governor General
Kaulbars, "but In the event of the
assassination of even ono member of
the League of the Russian People,
Odessa will be inundated In blood."
