REOELS FLEES! 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 USE A TYPEWRITER 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 choly. give babyTsquare’deal, 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 ■w'-\ | ie date of the settlement, but it must --■>!* come. CLARK-AND ROOSEVELT PICKED BY POLITICIANS AS OPPOSING NOMINEES Ways MH jte, ft ■MH ... \ 4 L ————- -- 'g — I e.rsaa-Tjt-, CorntlGHT vy HARRIS' kjjdE-VIINS and affectionate daughter. Mis; 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.

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.

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. 3
