4 BATTLESHIPS
RUSH TO CUBA
Marines Sent Inland to Protect
Lives and Property of U.
S. Citizens.
-WASHINGTON. June s—As a result
of the gravity in the Cuban situation.
If was decided this afternoon to rush
four battleships front Key West to
Guantanamo. This action was taken
at a conference between Secretary
Knox and President Taft today.
After the conference Secretary Knox,
said that if further protection to Amer
ican property should he needed the
marines on the ships would be landed.
Four hundred and fifty ma
rines were rent Into the in
terior of Cuba .this afternoon
Thia action was taken by Commander
Kline., manager of the naval station
at Guantanamo, on the representation
of a committee of prominent Ameri
can* that they had demanded and fail
ed t® receive adequate protection
against the Cuban rebels.
At the same time that this news
reached the navy- department today a
message Was received from the gun
boat Paducah, at Santiago, that the
situation there was most grave and it
was probable that marines would have
to be landed before night.
Strong pressure Is being brought to
bear on the government here to Inter
vene immediately In Cuban affairs.
Minister Rivero, of Cuba, was closeted
with Major Genera! Leonard Wood for
more than two hours today discussing
the methods for landing troops. Tel
egrams were sent to Norfolk, warning
the commanders of the five army
transports now at that port to be ready
for Instant movement.
10,000 Ready to
Move at Once.
The "expeditionary force" of 10,000
men. held ready for movement, also
was warned to be prepared to start for
Norfolk and Tampa Immediately. The
steps were taken following a confer
ence between General Wood and M. H.
Lewis, representing a committee of
American Interests In Cuba. Lewis
told the general that only American in
tervention could save United States
interests In the island.
The landing of marines Is believed
infallibly to presage a third military
occupation of Cuba by American
troops State department officials ad
mitted today that their reports from
Cuba were of such a nature that Amer
ican interference has become a neces
sity if American Interests are to be
protected and American Ilves saved.
The Cuban rebels, not content with
burning plantations and outhouses,
ihave begun firing on trains. Passen
gers on board a train on the Bayamayo
of the Cuban railroad have In
formed the consul at Santiago that
their train was tired on last night by
a force of 50 mounted revolutionists
armed with shotguns loaded with buck
shot. There were many women and
children on the train, but no one was
hit, although several received minor
injuries from the broken glass. The
guards on the train are reported to
have fought gallantly, seeking no shel
ter for themselves, and to have hit two
of the attacking force. A number of
the passengers also helped to repel the
attack.
Rebels Bolder on
Sugar Estates.
On Monday night many negroes on a
hill near Firmosa attacked an Ameri
can plantation, but were driven off.
Recent events at Lamaya, Javahueza
and Ramon de Las Yaguas indicate
tht the situation of the sugar estates
is extremely critical and that the rebels
are becoming bolder.
Among the American owned sugar
estates where alarm Is felt are those
known as Txts Canos, San Carlos, San
ta Marla Isadel and Soledad. Captain
Espinoza the local commander, is wil
ling to protect these properties hut
It is doubtful if he has enough troops.

Black Republc Aim
Os Cuban Negroes
HAVANA, June s.—Four' hundred
and fifty marines have been landed
In Cuba and sent into the interior.
A critical situation has developed as
regards the safety of foreigners. The
government was advised today that
General Estonez and General Ivonet,
the rebel leaders, had planned sorties
against the property of aU foreigners,
particularly that of Americans.
The special session of congress was
awaited with considerable anxiety here
today, as It was thought that the de
cision to suspend constitutional guar
antees only in Oriente province would
encourage the rebels In other sections.
The government claims to have di
rect proof that the negroes have plotted
to exterminate all whites on the Is
land and .make it a black republic.

offiorß and men at Fort McF’herson
today awaited with impatience news from
the situation in Cuba. The fact that
the post of the Seventeenth regiment is
one of the nearest (o Cuba and that the
regiment has had a long home stay, ex
cept for outpost work in Texas last spring,
leads the soldiers to believe that they
will be ordered to Cuba In case any troops

Lieutenant Colonel Hale, commanding
officer in the absence of Colonel Van
Orsdale. stated that no orders had been
received as yet relative to the removal
of the troops, but that the Seventeenth

52.B50,00DLEASE
IN PEACHTREE ST.
Hunnicutt Corner Rented for 99
Years—Eastern Firms Want
Location Here.
The J. E. Hunnicutt property, front
ing 42 feet on Peachtree street and run
ning hack 160 feet to Broad street, has
been leased for 99 years for a total of
$2,650,000, establishing a new tecord for
Peachtree frontage. The rental, under
the 99-year lease, runs to about $26.-
000 a year, though it will be divided on
a graduating scale, starting consider
ably below that figure and running up
to far beyond it as the property value
increases.
The lessee of the property has not
been made known. Mr. Hunnicutt,
when asked about the deal, stated pos
itively that no transaction had been
completed. A. S. Hook, of Foster &
Robson, who handled the transaction,
admitted that the deal had been closed,
but declined to give any Information
on the matter.
Best Undeveloped Property
On Peachtree.
The property Is perhaps the best on
Peachtree left undeveloped to its full
possibilities. It includes the Buehl-
Meador clothing store, which recently
announced Its retirement on account
of rapidly increasing rents, and a busi
ness house next door. It formerly
embraced Jack Wilson's stag hotel,
which ran back to Walton street, with
pool rooms on the ground floor, but this
gave way to a number of small places
fronting on Walton street and James
Lynch s near-beer saloon at Walton
and Broad streets, it is centrally lo
cated, and its buildings have not kept
pace with the Increasing value of the
property.
The lessee of the real estate has beep
a matter of considerable speculation
among real estate men. It Is known
that the Lowry National bank contem
plated erecting an office building on
this corner and removing its own
location from Pryor street to Peach
tree. It was said, however, that Mr.
Hunnicutt raised his figures to a price
which Colonel Robert J. Lowry and his
associates did not care to meet.
Woolworth Syndicate
Seeking Site Here.
It is known that representatives of
the great Woolworth syndicate, pro
prietors of America's greatest chain of
ten-cent stores, have had representa
tives In Atlanta for some time consid
ering the establishment of a Southern
branch. The "gentlemen's agreement”
between the rival ten-cent syndicates,
by which they keep out of each other’s
territory, has not been observed for
some time.
Macy's, the great New York depart
ment store, has several branch houses,
and ft is known that its. representa
tives made an offer some time ago to
purchase a leading Atlanta department
store, which was refused only after con
siderable deliberation.
It is considered certain that the
lessees will erect a tall building, for
offices upon the Peachtree and Walton
site, for the property Is too valuable
and the rental too high for a fair in
come to be gained without utilizing
every advantage possible. Whether this
takes the form of a department store
or skyscraper office building. Atlanta
Is certain to profit by the transaction,
as the property has long ago outgrown
Its present buildings.

This Also Is the
June Bride Season.
' Front! Take that baggage up to 649.
Mike! Bring a broom and sweep out
that rice," shouted the man behind the
desk at the Piedmont today. "Rastus!
Get out your knife and cut all those
true love knots off thai trunk before
you send it up.”
He turned to the reporter who was
chasing the names down the register in
search of a stoiy.
"Write a story about June brides.’
he said. "It's the open season for ’eji>.
and the hotels are filling up. I see iu
the paper that some guy’s been talking
about the pretty girls in Peachtree
street.' Tel! him to come rubber around
our parlors and he’ll see the Georgia
peach right in it? pristine beauty, as
the poet remarked.
"How do I know they're brides? Say,
do you think I've spent ten years of my
life handing out Aeys and yelling
’Front’ without knowing the difference
between a Boston shoe drummer and a
soubrette? You can spot a bridal couple
before they get out of the taxi.
"He alw’ays comes up. red as a beet,
and asks for the best room in the house.
He never asks the price if she's stand
ing by, but sometimes she says:
”'Oh. John, something just a, little
lower will do,' and he comes back with:
” ‘Now, don't worry about that, dear—
Mrs. Jones.’ Then he reaches in his
pocket for a handkerchief to mop his
fevered brow, and out comes a shower
of rice. That puts the Indian sign on
them.
” 'About this time of year look for
showers, conventions, watermelons and
honeymooners.’ says the hotel man’s
almanac. And they’re all good. But 1
believe the brides and bridegrooms are
the best yet.
"Why? Because they never give you
any trouble. They come in and register
and then you forget all about 'em until
he drops down tn pay the bill. They’re
so interested in looking at each other
that they never have a kick on the
rooms; their soup may be cold and
their ice cream warm, but they never
know it. They're living away up in the
blue sky and little things which would
make a drummer kick a bell boy down
the elevator shaft don’t ruffle them at
all. Please move away from the regis
ter. There comes another couple from
the Macon train."

CLANS UNITE TD
HOLD M’ARTHUR
Divine Appeal Final Resort in
Effort to Hold the Noted
Baptist Minister.
Continued From Page Ono.
he had w ithdrawn because of the course
matters were taking or on account of
the pressure of business engagements.
Failing thus far in all human ef
forts to induce Dr Robert S. MacAr
thur to remain as permanent pastor of
the Baptist Tabernacle, the leader of
the noted pastor’s friends called
upon the members of the church to
spend the next 30 hours in earnest
prayer for a solution of the schism that
has rent the institution in twain.
C. W. Hatcher, Dr. MacArthur's per
sonal champion, who presided over the
meeting of Tabernacle members and
other Baptist clergymen last night, told
a reporter for The Georgian today that
since he had never known fervent pray.
er to fail where many devout people
joined in calling on the Lord for help,
he had no doubt that the invocation of
the sorely ridden congregation would
win away out of the crisis.
But it is the plain understanding that
Dr. MacArthur's supporters have by no
means determined to give up their ef
fort to retain him. despite all opposi
tion and the departure of many mem
bers from the flock. And the members
of the MacArthur faction, in their sup
plications in their homes and at their
offices, will not fail to pray particu
larly that Dr. MacArthur may be
moved from his decision of yesterday
to quit the warring church at any cost,
and they will ask the Lord to prevail
upon him to accept the majority call of
the Tabernacle when he returns from
his lecturing at Cordele.
The resort to prayer for a solution
of the trouble harks back graphically
to the Rev. Dr. Broughton’s time in
the church.
Incidentally how deeply the aged
minister feels the trouble that has come
to him in the last years of his life are
indicated by a statement made to The
Georgian today by C. W. Hatcher.
“I want you to correct a statement
that some have made to the effect that
Dr. MacArthur was not taking a suf
ficient interest in the institutional wdrk
of the church. Why. only last night he
was to have organized a literary socie
ty of the girls in the Tabernacle dormi
tory, and he had planned to have th*
women of the church hold a reception
for them, while he himself would begin
the teaching of the girls along literary
lines. 1 want it understood that he was
preparing t'o get under the institutional
work of the church and superintend ic
vigorously, exactly along the old lines.
But that was before the- last break
came. I'hat cut him to the soul. Im
mediately he announced the abandon
ment of the literary soviet.' organiza
tion and, determined upon his resigna
tion. would not even remain in Atlanta,
but hurried on to Cordele a day ahead
of time. ,
Friends who saw Dr. MacArthur as
he left for the Chautauqua town early
yesterday morning say he appeared
haggard and drawn, and really so wor
ried as to be upon the verge of illness.
Dr. MacArthur Pleads
Innocence of Row
CORDELE, GA.. June 5.—"T00 bad
they have gotten into that row. and it
is a Jhame to drag my name into it.”
was the comment of Dr. Robert Stuart
MacArthur when shown a newspaper
containing a story of the differences of
factions in the Baptist Tabernacle, of
Atlanta.
"I am as innocent as a babe." he
continued. "For 41 years I was pastor
of a church in New York, and every
thing was as harmonious as we are
now . and to go to Atlanta and have
them drag my name into that row ig a
great shame.”
