SIC, TAFT GOES 70 HAAN Cuban Congress Confers Unlim- ited Power on Paima. REBEL OFFERS TO SURRENDER Proposes to Lay Down Arms if Unit- ed States Guarantees a Fair Trial. President Roosevelt has “ordered Secretary Taft and Acting Secretary of State Bacon to Cuba to make direct inquiries into the ' situation on the island. The Cuban congress, in extraordi- nary session, indorsed all that Presi- dent Palma has done. The rurale guard will be increased ‘to 10,000 men and every financial re- source of the government devoted to orushing the insurrection. ' More United States warships have been ordered to the island, making eight in all. ' .; Orders have been issued to prevent the sailing of more. ships bearing munitions of war to the insurgents from the United States. | Mr. Roosevelt has written to the Cuban minister, deploring the situ- ation, advising every possible meas- ure toward correcting it, and setting forth the circumstances under which {ntervention may result. J One hundred and twenty armed sail- ors from the United States protected cruiser Denver landed in Havana, September 13 and camped in front of the president’s palace in anticipation of possible uprisings within or at- tacks upon the city. ‘ It was officially announced in Washington that the sailors who were landed at Havana from the American cruiser Denver have been ordered to immediately return to their vesssl, save for a small guard which will be left at the American legation. This action followed the receipt of! an official report by Acting Secretary of State Bacon from Mr. Sleeper, the American charge d'affaires at Hav- ana, regarding the landing, of the men. The report was not made pub- lic, but it was announced officially shortly afterward that the sailors were landed from the Denver solely and simply for the protection of the lives and property of American citi- zens; that such action was in pursu- ance of a discussion between Mr. Sleeper, the charge, and the naval commander, with the belief that it was a wise precaution looking to the protection of the lives and property of Americans. There was no intention, it is stated, to do otherwise than to safe- guard American interests and the services of the sailors were to be utilized only in case of disorders within the city, which threatened such interests. An extraordinary incident in con- nection with the presence of an American force in Havana happened when Commander Colwell was ap- proached by an accredited emissary of Alfredo Zayas, president of the Liberal party, and Gen. Loyanz del Castillo, commander of: the.insurgent forces in Havana province, with a signed offer from each of the men named to surrender their commands’ and hand over théir arms to Comman- der Colwell on the sole condition that the United States government, through him, guarantee them fair and judicial trials. Commander Colwell, by Charge d’Affaires Sleeper, imme- diately carried the proposition to President Palma. The president was immensely pleased, and asked Com- mander Colwell if he would accept the surrenders. Commander Colwell replied in the ve, but advised the president to communicate with the Washington government on the subject, which was done according- 1y. ness nega Weaithy Man a Suicide. The body of Henry K. Wampole, the wealthy Philadelphia manufacturer of chemicals, who had been missing for several days, was found in the East! river, New York. He undoubtedly jcommitted suicide. ETHEL ROOSEVELT IN ACCIDENT Thrown From Buggy Horse, but Not Injured. While driving from Sagamore Hill to Oyster Bay Miss Ethel!

LOYAL TROOPS RETREAT Rural Guards Meet Reverse in Santa Clara Province. A dispatch from Mr. Sleeper, the American Charge at Havana, says it is reported that 300 insurgents attack- ed the Rural Guards at Zaza, Santa Clara province, and that the Govern- ment lost 18 men, while the loss to the insurgents is not known. The Government forces retreated to Sancti Spiritus. BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN 100 Passengers tempt is Made Near Peoria. Four masked men attempted to hold up a southbound passenger train on the Rock Island railroad two miles north of Peoria. Conductor Robert i accompanied | by Frightened Miss | Aboard When At- | WOMAN WITH A RECORD Old But Still Full of Fight Against Revenue Officers. After walking eight miles through thre mountains back of Cliff Top, W. Va., United States Deputy Marshall Dan Cunningham arrested Mrs. Ma- linda Shrewsberry, whose age is be- yond the grasp of her memory, but who must be near the century mark. She was charged with distilling moon- shine liquor and retailing it at coun- try fairs, dances and picnics. When the revenue officers ered the cabin tucked away in a thicket of laurels on the mountain side he walked in prepared for trou- ble, and it is fortunate he did so. The aged woman moonshiner was working near the kitchen table, above which swung an old-fashioned rifle, which she grabbed for. She was not quick enough, however, to outwit the officer, who knocked the weapon away before she could use it. She attempted to shout a warning to her two sons, but was gagged and bound, and placed on a box. The officer waited until noon the next day for the boys, who failed to turn up. Mrs. Shrewsberry stated that she had been arrested three times—twice in the mountains of Tennessee and once in the West Virginia mountains. The officers making her arrest were killed every time, once by her own hands and twice by her husband and sons, all of whom, with the exception of two, have been killed later in moon- shiner battles. discov- PREACHER ELOPES WITH GIRL Pittsburg Pastor Leaves Church and Wife and Children. Rev. ‘C. T. Coombs, former pastor of the Lemington Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, Pittsburg, and the head of a family consisting of a wife and five children, and Miss Lillian B. Mycumb, a pretty young candidate for ordination at the Deaconess’ Home, were the principals in an elopement suddenly terminated by church offi- cials and detectives in Mt. Vernon, New York Sunday. The development follows quickly the unexpected and sudden resignation of Rev. Mr. Coombs from his pastorate and membership in the church on August 22 and the departure a few days prior of Miss Mycumb for her annual vacation at her home in Ever- ett, Pa. After the apprehension of the coup- le in New York by Rev. E. H. Leiz- ure, pastor of Trinity Methodist Epis- copal Church, and A. G. C.

HIS CAREER MOST DRAMATIC Many Attempts to Assassinate This Evil Genius of the Russian People Failed. Gen. Dmitri Feodorovich Trepoff, commandant of the Russian imperial palace, died in his villa at Peterhof of angina pectoris. His death at his home from disease surprised many who had predicted his assassination. During the last three years six actual attempts on Gen. Trepoff’s life have been made, and only last July, Gen. Kozloff, of the headquarters staff, was assassinated at Peterhof by a terror- ist who believed he was firing upon Trepoff. Gen. Trepoff, whose name was in- deliably linked with restriction and oppression in Russia, was in many re- spects a remarkable man. He was a natural despot, a tyrant by inclination, education and conviction. He was one of those men who have constantly appeared, like evil geniuses in Rus- sian history, just at the time when conditions were most promising for putting an end to despotism, to turn the Russian rulers from -liberalism back into paths of reaction. It was he who became the guiding spirit of the reaction after Nicholas II. had issued his famous manifesto in the fall of 1905, promising the people a share in the government. Holding the position of master of the palace, in league with the court intriguers who were determined to restore the old regime, he constantly had the emper- or’s ear. x In spite of the positive statement of the physicians at the imperial pal- ace at Peterhof, the rumor that General Trepoff, “the most hated man in Russia,” was victim of an insidious poison, will not down. In all walks of life the story was spread that the czar’s military tyrant had died in great agony and that all his symptoms were those of a man who had taken poison. DEAD LINE ESTABLISHED THERE rT Cross It Laborers Are Forbidden to ANY KILLED IN WRECKS —Ante-Bellum Days Recalled by ~ Motley Crowds. Charged by indictment with con- spiracy to violate the thirteenth amendment of the Constitution pro- hibiting slavery, nine Missourians went to trial in the United States dis- trict court at Cape Giaradeau, The defndants are Charles M. Smith, James Smith, Rex Smith, and Charles M. Smith, Jr., Lee Rogers, William Woods, Benjamin Stone, Fields and Floyd Woods. The Smiths own 20,000 "acres or more of southeast Missouri drained land. A few years ago it was swamp land and of small value. They have drained the land. For the proper cul- tivation of this land they needed a large force of men, and this spring they secured about 40 negroes from Memphis and Cairo. Three months after the negroes were brought to New Madrid, the Smiths were arrest- ed and indicted charged with holding the negroes in a state of slavery. The negroes, who are witnesses, tell stories that sound much like those of the real days of slavery. One said a foreman was whipping him for some act of insubordination and he re- sisted. The foreman struck him with a club in such a way that his eye was put out. Another tells of a blow on the ankle months ago from the effects of which he is still lame. All say it was customary on the farm for the foreman to use a blacksnake whip or club whenever a negro displeased him. They told how six men dug a hole in the floor and escaped in the night. Several sald they had worked three or four months without pay of any kind, but after the arrests they receiv- | ed some, pay. A negro whose wife was with him said he was allowed to go to town on errands, but not permitted to take his’ wife. Most of the negroes, he said, were not allowed to leave the farm. There were day guards and night guards with Winchesters, who kept the negroes under constant guard, and some negroes were shot in attempt- ing to leave.

He was met by a com- mittee of the Chamber of Commerce and the local Norwegian societies. “My observations extend over a period of three years and it will take three years to calculate them,” said he. “Until that time it is utterly im- possible to say positively what I have accomplishéd by my observations, I believe, however, that I have found the North magnetic pole. I cannot say as yet whether it is a shifting point or extends over a large area. We also took careful observations of the Aurora Borealis, and I believe that my observations will show that this phenomena has a marked effect on the compass.

On the historic battle field, of Gettysburg, where they clashed for supremacy, the survivors of Gen. Pickett’s division of the Confederate army met in fraternal reunion the survivors of the Philadelphia brigade which was composed of four regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers. The re- union was held at the ‘bloody angle’ where Gen. Pickett made his famous charge. A feature of the gathering was the presentation of Gen. Armistead\s sword to the men of the south. Gen. Armistead fell during the charge and his sword has since been in posses- sion of the Philadelphia soldiers. OIL DEAL CLOSED Pennsylvania Men Acquire Extensive Holdings in Indiana Field.

Board Public Works—George H. Watkins, Scioto county. Commissioner of Schools—E. A. Jones, Massillon. It was one of the hottest State con- ventions in the history of the party in the State. The contest was not over the naming of candidates for the State offices for which the convention had been called, but over thé selection of a chairman of the State executive committee, involving the State leader- ship of United States Senator Charles Diclk.

The current funds of the various agencies of the church amounted to $130,000. They belonged to the Board of Relief, the Trustees of the Board of Publication and Sunday Scheol Work, the Trus- tees of the General Assembly and the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society. Dr. Roberts stated that he believed the deposits would be fully paid back within a short time.
