TURMOIL IITCUBA
Palma May Yet Have to Appeal
to United States.
REBELLION IS SPREADING
Insurgents Capture Another Town and
,Control Two Important Points.
Bandera, Their Black Leader,
is Killed.
A special from Havana, Cuba, says:
Two bloody battles were fought on
Thursday between insurgents and rural
guards. In one General Quentin
Bandera, the negro leader, was killed,
and the other resulted in the capture
of San Juan de Martinez by the rebel
forces.
The revolutionists are now occupying
two important cities on the
Island.
A force of rural guards and volunteers
has left Cienfuegos, province
of Santa Clara, to engage 300 insurgents,
who left Las Lajas under the
command of Colonel Guseman, mayor
of that town.
May Appeal io United States.
Lively interest in the outcome of
*
the political disturbance in Cuba is
evinced in New York city, which has
not only harbored frofn time to time
many of her prominent men, but is
bound to the island republic by everstrengthening
commercial ties. Advices
to local business houses from
Havana insist that the revolt has not
yet assumed alarming proportions, but
tend to qualify the official assurances
that the government has the situation
thoroughly in hand. It is believed that
the next few days will demonstrate
wither the present uprisings may be
dignified by the term "rebellion" or
to be classed with the sporadic outlawry
with which the government has already
successfully coped. The active
loya'ty of many Cubans of influence
* * * *-i. m.
Is admittedly in cloudl. 10 wuat extent;
if any, the sentiment for annexation
to the United States figures in
the unrest and what stand the Americans
in the Isle of Pines will take
has awakened considerable speculation.
' Unsuccessful efforts to quiet the disturbances
are told of in a dispatch
dated Wednesday and received Thursday
morning. The dispatch says that
eighty veterans of the revolution met
Tuesday and in a resolution pledged
-themselves to use their personal influence
to bring the strike to a bloodless
1 termination.
i John S. Fiske of the firm of J. M.
'Cebalios Co.. Cuban-American bankers,
said that the cable dispatches
! received by his firm from Havana indicate
that there was no need for
alarm at present. He added:
"If President Palma finds that his
government is unable to cope with
the situation he will call upon the
United States for aid. That woula
mean pacification and then annexa
*s , ?
x ttoii. In any. country governed by white
men it is a natural consequence that
the negroes will be to a certain -extent
kept in the background. That is
what happened in Cuba and is the
cause of the insurrection."
Colonel Carlos M. Aguirre, a veteran
of the last revolution in Cuba, who
apparently is the leading spirit among
the Cuban-Americans in New York,
who are opposed to the Palma regime,
has drafted a letter addressed
to President Roosevelt, after he has
obtained the signatures of several
Americans who hold property in the
Island, asking the United -States to in,
j terveae. This letter calls attention
to the many wrtmgs alleged to have
been suffered by the liberals at the
bands of the government, which he
} declares are responsible for the pres;
ent uprising. It calls on President
4 Roosevelt to appoint by the authority
of the terms of the Piatt amendment,
VI commission to preside at a new elec}
tion for president in Cuba. *

Czar Issues Hurried Ukase Dealing
Out 4,500,000 Acres of Government
Lands to Peasants of Empire.
A St. Petersburg special says: The
distribution of crown apanages, the
first part of the administration agrarian
program, by which it is hoped
to win the peasantry to the support
of the government at the coming elections,
was put in effect Monday, when
an ukase was published transferrin?
the 4,500,000 acres of apanage lands
to the Peasant's bank for distriDntion.
The urgency of the situation is
such that me UKase, wmcn was sigueu
the day of the attempt on the life of
Premier Stolypin, was gazetted without
waiting for final decision as to
the method and terms of payment.
The principal question whether the
latter shall be 33 or 60 years, has
not yet been decided. The announcement
on this point and of the transfer
of ten millions acres ?f crow*
lands will be made later.
The lands chosen for this first distribution
include:
1. Lands under cultivation which
are noc contiguous to forest tracts,
and where leases have expired.
2. Forests adjoining or surrounded
by peasant holdings.
3. Wood lands suitable in the government
of Archangel and Vologda.
RUSSIAN PRESS INDIFFERENT.
Blcody Work of Reds Meets No Condemnation
by Newspapers.
A St. Petersburg special says: The
ooen campaign against the government
which the socialists inaugurated
with the attempt on the life of Premier
Stolypin Saturiav and the assassination
of General Min Sunday,
has produced such feeling of resentment
at Peterhof that the specter of
a dictatorship has been revived. The
government, it is claimed, can only
rely on force to fight the terrorists,
as the public press, which might be
expected tc- manifest a revulsion
of feeling against the crime which
sacrificed rhe lives of a score of innocent
persons, in the attempt to murder
a man who personally had not
given cause for offense, remains coldly
indifferent. Indeed, while expressing
formal words of condemnation, the
hidden satisfaction of the fact that
the object of the campaign is to strike
terror into the heart of the government
is hardly concealed. Only the
Novoe Vremya and the official Rossla
denounce the terrorists as enemies
of society.
The conclusions of the liberal press
are summed up in the charge made
by the Rech, that the government
alone, is guilty and responsible for
what has happened.
RAILROADS CAUGHT NAPPING. *
None of Them Able to Comply in Full
With New Rate Law.
A New York special says: The new
railroad rate law, which applies to
all railroads doing an interstate commerce
business, went into effect at
midnight Monday night. It will be enforced
by the interestate commerce
commission. According to the new law
the roads were to have filed with the
commission by midnight all their'tariffs
and charges, showing not only the
1 full cost of transportation from point
to noint. but also what items go to
the making up of this cost. r/4
It is stated that in fact not a single
company had been able to fully comply
with the provisions of the law re'
quiring them to have all their schedules
on file by midnight. The schedule
of switching charges was the most
difficult of completion.
* Under the law every company,
which failed to complete its schedules
might be fined, but it is understood
that the interstate commerce commission
will give sufficient additional
time in every case when a road has
given evidence of sincere intent to
comply with the law.
Under the new law the country
begins upon a new era so far as
passes and free transportation is concerned
and the death knell of special
privileges is sounded.

f EFORM SPELLING
A La Carnegie System is
Adopted by President.
NOTIFIES PUBLIC PRINTER
New System of Orthography Will Be
Used Hereafter in Documents,
Messages and Letters Emanating
from White House.
A special from Oyster Bay, N. Y.,
says: President Roosevelt has endorsed
the Carnegie spelling reform
movement. He issued orders Friday
to Public Printer Stillings that hereafter
all messages from the president
and all other documents emanating
from the white house should be printed
in accordance with the recommendation
of the spelling reform committee
headed by Brander Matthews,
professor of English at Columbia Uni-*
versity. This committee has published
a list of 300 words in which the
spelling is reformed. This list com
tains -such words as "thrue" and
"tho" as the spelling of "through"
and "though." The president's official
sanction of this reform movement
is regarded as the most effective and
aru?priip?5t method of inaugurating the
I new system of spelling throughout
the country. Not only will the printed
documents emanating from the president
utilize the reform spelling, but
his correspondence also will be spelled
in the new style. Secretary Loeb has
sent for the list of 300 words which
have been reformed and on its arrival
will immediattely order all correspondence
of the president and of
the executive force of the white house
spelled in accordance therewith. As
the spelling reform committee shall
adopt new reforms, they will be added
to the president's list and also to
that of the public printer. ,
While the order to the public printer
does not contemplate an immediate
reform in the spelling of official
documents from the executive departments
in Washington, it is regarded
that more than likely the respective
heads of the departments will fall in
line with the president's ideas and
have their official documents printed
in the new spelling

Small-Sized Row Over Bryan Recepception
is Incubating.
A New York special says: Harry
W. Walker, who has had an active
part in arranging the reception to be
given to William Jennings Bryan by
the Commercial Travelers' Anti-Trust
' ? A X. _ U.iA
| League on August; su, gave out a statement
Friday to the effect that politicians
headed by Alexander Troup, of
Connecticut, and Norman E. Mack, of
Buffalo, are trying to control the
movement, and that the league will
control the arrangements for the reception
even if it has to tell the politicians
to retire.
"Mr. Bryan accepted the invitation
from the Commercial Travelers' AntiTrust
League," said Mr. Walker, "and
we think that he will appear there
as stated."
Mr. Mack, who is the democratic
national committeeman from New
York state, said, in reply to the statement
that there was a popular impres
sion that the Bryan reception would
be a political affair, and that Mr. Bryan
regarded it that way.
"Why shouldn't politicians take
part in it?" he said. Mir. Mack said
he is not making trouble in the committee
and that there is no talk of
Hearst in the arrangements.
DEPOSITORS IN MAD RUSH.

THREE YOUNG WOMEN DROWNED
Went Bathing in Small Branch and |
Fell-Into Deep Pool.
Three young women were drowned!
Saturday afternoon while bathing in a
small branch in the northern suburbs
of Griffin, Ga. They were: Mrs. A. R.
Spangler, a bride of a few months,
aged 15 years; Miss Beulah Hancock,
aged 16, and Miss Pearl .Ramsey, of
Co. mbus, Ga., aged 18.
The only eye-witness to the affair
was a 4-year-old sister of Miss Hancock,
and the little tot is so badly
frightened that she can give only very
meager particulars.
About 2 o'clocfk in the afternoon
Mrs Spangler called at the Hancock
home and asked Miss Hancock and
her guest, Miss Ramsey, to accompany
her to the branch, only a few
hundred yards distant, to get some
white clay. Reaching the branch they
found in a secluded spot a pool about
twelve feet wide and twenty feet long
and decided 'to take a bath.
They disrobed and a negro woman,
working in a field near by, saw one of
them jnmp from the bank into the
water several feet below and a few
moments later the- other two followed.
Attracted by screams, the negro woman
ran to the rescue, but when she

THIRTY-FIVE SLAIN
By Bomb Thrown at Russian
Premier Stolypin.
BUILDING IS SHATTERED
Assassins Gained Entrance to Residence
Through Intrigue?Bodies
of Victims Literally Torn
to Pieces.
i
A St. Petersburg special says:
thirty-five persons were killed and
twenty-four wounded as a result of an
attempt Saturday afternoon to assassinate
Premier Stolypin with a bomb
while he was holding a public reception
at hi-: country home at Aptekarsky
island. The premier was slightly
wounded in the face and neck by
flying splinters.
Among the dead is General Zameatin,
the premier's personal secretary;
M. Khovostof, former governor of.tke
province of Penza; Colonel Fedoroff,
commander of the premier's personaf
guard; Court Chamberlain Davidoff,
Court Chamberlain Veronin and Aide
Doubassoff and four women and children.
The wounded include M. Stolypin's
15-year-old daughter and his threeyear-old
son, and a number of persons
prominent in the social and official
worlds.
Of the four conspirators who en
gineered the outrage, two were Kmea
with their victims, while the third,
who acted as coachman for the party,
and the fourth, who remained inside
the carriage, Were badly wounded, and
are now in the St. Peter and St. Paul
fortress.
Whether the assassins who entered
the crowded reception hall threw the
bomb or accidentally dropped it, probably
never will be known, as all the
immediate eye witnesses were killed.
The tremendous force of the explosion
absolutely blew out the front of
the premier's residence and carried
away the ceilings above and the floors
beneath, and the walls of the adjoining
rooms.
People were literally blown to
pieces. Those who were not instantly
killed were horribly maimed orlacerated,
and c.11 the others present
were prostrated by the shock *
Two more persons injured by the
explosion died during the night, bringing
the. total number of deaths up
to thirty-five. Twenty-six persons
were instantly killed.
It appears that the assassins were
well supplied with, funds. They paid
$125 in advance for the rooms they
engaged. Before leaving these apartments
they disguised themselves and
made the house porter drunk

Saturday's unsuccessful attempt on

shots into his body from an automatic

submitted to arrest.
