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.

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.

RUSSIAN TYRANT [5 DEAD
General Trepoff, a Great Foe to
Liberty, Passes Away.
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.

—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.

“My observations extend over a

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

my observations will show that this

business. Judge Coll took the mat-
ter under advisement.

OHIO REPUBLICANS
Senator Dick Retains the Leadership—
Burton Will Not Give Up the
Struggle.
The State Republican Convention
met in Dayton and nominated the fol-
lowing ticket:
Secretary of State, Carmi A. Thomp-
| son, Ironton.
Dairy and Food Commissioner—
Renick W. Dunlap, Kingston.
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 senator won not only on this
proposition but also on the question
of indorsement of his work and that
of Senator Foraker in the United
States Senate. :
The platform insists on.a continu-
ance of a high protective tariff;
Lauds President Roosevelt for his

Calls on Congress to encourage the

Favors a larger navy;
Calls for liberal Federal appropria-
tions for the further improvement of
the Ohio river, and State appropria-
tions for State canals. 3
The platform was adopted with
little debate. A minority report was
presented by W. H. Boyd of Cleve-
land demanding immediate revision of
the tariff and containing a provis-
ion for the election of senators by
popular vote. He moved its adoption
as a substitute for the sections in the

CHURCH FUNDS TIED UP
Presbyterian Boards Will Probably
Lose $30,000. z
According to a statement of the
Stated Clerk of the General Assemb-
ly, the Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts,
the various agencies of the Presbyter-
ian Church have $160,000 tied up
through the wrecking of the Real Es-
tate Trust Company, of Philadelphia.
There is a probable loss of $30,000
of the funds of the Trustees of the
General Assembly, of which Frank K.
Hipple was treasurer. 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. The $30,000 dis-
crepancy in the trust funds of the
trustees of the General Assembly will
be the only loss in that case. He did
not say whether he expected the de-
posits would be paid by the trust com-
pany or made good by outside per-
