SIGHT OF IKIES
U. S. Marines in Cuba Move to
Protect American Lives
and Property.
SANTIAGO, CUBA. May 29.—United
States marines were today moved to
strategic positions to protect Ameri
can lives and interests in Santiago
province against attack by the negro
rebels. The first of the jackies to go
into action against the negro rebels
was a detachment from the cruisei
Prairie, which arrived yesterday at
Caimanera. Blacks near that point
attacked a plantation, but were soon
driven off by the Americans. As soon
as the negroes saw the sailors ap
proaching they fled.
Marines are being stationed at San
tiago, Guantanamo and Sipe Bay.
There are large American interests at
Sipe Bay, both plantations and mines.
President Gomez claims to have 900
armed troops in the field against the
'—•■sebels. These, ne declares, have been
divided into small detachments for the
better protection of plantations. The
military authorities are apparently
waiting until 1,200 additional troops or
dered to the front reach there before a
general campaign is begun against the
Insurgents.
Negroes Poorly Armed.
The most serious disorder exists in
the regions about Guantanamo, San
Luis, Palma Soriano and Lamaya.
Large detached bodies of negroes have
been seen on the northern coast, but
they were poorly armed.
The main body of the rebels under
Ivonlet and 'Estenoz is not far from
Lamaya, intrenched in the hills. The
federals, in order to attack, must move
through a thickly grown jungle and
across dangerous swamps.
Major General Monteagudo is in
command of the government troops
which are drawing up in front of the
rebel column.
Several skirmishes between rebel
lious blacks and rurales are reported,
in all of which the negroes were de
feated.
PARIS SONG CRAZY;
30,000 COMPETE IN
FESTIVAL OF MUSIC
PARIS, May 29. —With a big military
torchlight procession one of the most
extraordinary musical festivals in his
tory was opened. About 30.000 men,
women and children, who are members
of choirs, orchestras and brass bands,
as well as trumpeters, buglers and
drummers, have assembled here from
all parts of Europe to participate in a
three days’ musical competiiton.
Every possible kind of musical com
bination is represented, and competi
tions will be held in the public build
ings, schools, theaters and squares ail
over the city. The festival was organ
ized by distinguished men. including
members of the institute, professors of
the Conservatory of Music and promi
nent composers.
TELEGRAPHER DIES
BECAUSE COULDN’T

ALBANY, May 29.—Because he be
lieved he was not a success at manipu
lating a typewriter, Samuel I. Hersch
berger. a telegraph operator for the
Western Union for more than 40 years,
committed suicide.
Herschberger had always worked
with a pen, and when told that he must
use a typewriter he became melan

URGES CITY OF CHICAGU
CHICAGO, May 29.—The weekly
health bulletin issued by the city ap
pears with numerous paragraphs aimed
at the evils that beset a baby during
its first few months. Among the terse
bits of advice given are:
Baby saving is nation saving; there
fore. baby savers are. nation builders.
There is no greater educational need
than that of "how to take care of the
baby." The old-fashioned way won’t
do.
“Stand-patters” argue that in the
good old times it was a case of "the
survival of the fittest;” progressives
» can see in it only “the survival of the
luckiest."
The baby wants a square deal. It
'<«l.ll be a long time before it gets all
that is coming to it.
Be a progressive—on the baby ques
tion.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
A TRAMPAND A HOBO
CHICAGO. May 29.—A distinction
between a hobo and a tramp is made by-
Frank V. Whiting in a communication
published in The Railway Age Ga
zette.
"It is many years," says Mr. Whit
ing, "since the word 'tramp' escaped
from the vocabulary of most railway
officials and was superseded by that
very sentient substitute, hobo.'
“A tramp means one who walks from
place to place, either idly or in search
of work; specifically, 'an idle wander
er." Hobo' is defined as an idle, shift
jess, wandering workman, ranking
scarcely above a tramp."
MARCOnT SPECULATION
A BLOW TO THE BULLS
LONDON. May 29.—The Daily Mail
states that as a result of the recent wild
speculation in American Marconi
shares, stock exchange bulls may have
lost as much as $10,000,000, and that
this sum will have to be found when the
day of reckoning arrives.
The stock exchange has not yet fixed

Alfred Henry Lewis Finds
Consensus of Opinion Lies
in That Direction.
By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.
WASHINGTON, May 29.—Coming
down to this Jericho of Party I fell in
stantly among politician and prophets.
It is everywhere the word that the two
White House nominees will be < lark
for the Democrats and Roosevelt for
the Republicans. Only the few will say
this for publication, and in the way of
an interview.
It te singular, not to say discourag
ing, that commonly the man of politics
will only say what he does believe and
does know anonymously. He reserves
his name and is willing to be quoted
for no more than what he turns hi.-
back upon as a principle or doubts and
distrusts as a fact.
Bring up the coming conventions in
talk with house man or senator these
Washington days, and he will begin
with the remark, given with an anxious
emphasis. "Don’t quote me," and then
he will go on to say that by evei\ sign
and signal smoke the opposing candi
dates will be Clark and Roosevelt.
It’s Clark and Roosevelt.
Also It matters little or less whether
he be for Taft or Roosevelt or Clark or
Underwood or Wilson or any other of
those eminent ones whose names nave
been set arm in arm with nominational
honors. You hear but the one word,
Clark at Baltimore, Roosevelt at Chi
cago.
The aggregate of prophecy is that
There is this to be noticed, however,
as foreshadowinx a final Republican de
feat. Even the most radical Roosevelt
shouters, all red paint, feathers and up
roar, understand most thoroughly that
the votes in Maryland, in Massachu
setts, in Pennsylvania, in Illinois, in
Ohio, in New Jersey, were votes not so
much pro-Roosevelt as anti-Taft.
The story told by the returns was not
that Taft lost them.
President Is Peevish.
They say that it is not pleasant these
days to be in the heated Taft vicinity.
He is peevish, nervous, over-strained
and inclined to visit upon those about
him his resentments for the misfor
tunes which have overtaken him.
It was not until these recent pri
mary elections that Taft got any true
impression of where he stood, or rather
didn't stand, with the rank and file o’
his party. For this ignorance he
blames Crane. Penrose, Hilles, Hitch
cock and even Smoot.
Smoot, who is not a Republican, but
a Mormon, and looks to Prophet Smith
rather than Mr. Taft tn what he politi
cally does, is said in his support of
Taft to be getting "cold feet.” Looking
not so much for Republican success as
Mormon safety, Smoot would—so de
clare the inner circle wise ones—go
over to Roosevelt even now, if he only
knew how, and Roosevelt gave him the
chance.
The Dilemma of Smoot.
Roosevelt, in his White House hour,
was as tenderly careful of Mormon

feeling, not tn say Mormon inttrests, as
ever Taft has been. If Taft spoke in
the Salt Lake City Tabernacle, so also
did Roosevelt, and was the first among
presidents who gave the Mormons so
much of his indorsing countenance.
Smoot took it for granted that Taft
would be given a renomfnation. It
nevei entered his Mormon head, busy
over the preservation of a Payne-Al
drich tariff, so important to Mounon
millions invested in our protected in
dustries. that Roosevelt could, or would
shove Taft aside. *
Smoot didn't enough allow for the
popular sentiment and the effects of
the new primary laws which many of
the states had passed. And now with
Roosevelt, wide-jawed and ferocious;
running up on Taft like some hound
upon a fat and panting hare, Smoot
feels that through his blunderings he
has gotten the Mormons into a mess.
The Taft defeat threatens to be a Mor
mon defeat.
Harmon Hopes Shrinking,
Grossing over to the Democrats,
about the Harmon headquarters there
is no atmosphere of hope. All is re
-psctabllity and pessimism. Harmon is
onservative to the point of being re
actionary. and this is a radical year.
Decidedly It is not a Harmon year.
“I HARVARD TEACHER
HAS A METHOD TO
BRING DEAD TO LIFE
BOSTON, May 29.—Dr. Walter B.
Cannon, professor of physiology at the
Harvard Medical school, has perfected
a scientific means of bringing back the
departed spark of animal life. He de
clares that if the new method should
be , mployed in each and < very case of
death a large percentage of the sup
posed inanimate bodies <Auid be re
vived.
The method consists of the introduc
tion of a tube or catheter into the
pharynx pulling the tongue, forcing the
back part of the tongue against the
roof of the mouth by pressure applied
far back under the chin, putting a
weight on the abdomen to keep air
from being spreed into the stomach,
connecting the catheter with a bellows
and jiumping air into the lungs.

It is preposterous, they argue, to as

PORTUGAL WANTS
MONARCHYAGAIN
Republic a Failure and People
Oppressed by Heavy Taxa
tion and Extortion.
LONDON, May 29 That the Portu
guese republic is a dismal failure and
is tottering to its fall is evident from
the present state of the country. Por
tugal is seething with political corrup
tion. petty tyranny and monarchical
conspiracies.
Active preparations for a revolt are
sa ! d to be under way. The republican
government has failed to keep the
promises which justified a change from
monarchy.
Instead of reduced taxation the bur
dens on taxpayers have been practi
cally doubled, with a consequent in
crease in the cost of living. The reve
nue thus raised is chiefly spent on es
tablishing a form of military rule.
It is reported the royalists are prop
erly equipped with arms, ammunition
and field guns, huge quantities of which
lie hidden in northern Spain and south
ern Portugal. They are also reported
to possess two monoplanes. Fully 70
per cent of the officers of the republi
can troops are said to be prepared to
transfer their s iegiance to the former
King Manuel the moment he reappears
on the scene.
