His speech was a sensational one In that it exposed the inner workings of the trust and the identity of the men who com prise one of the most gigantic trusts hi the world. Senator Beveridge spoke in part as follows: "In' 1898 the tax on all forms of tobacco was raised in order to supply the govern menl, with a needed increase in rev enne. But. at tne time congress put this increased tax on tobacco it au thorized tobacco manufacturers , to reduce the size of the packages in which the tobacco was sold to the people. "In 1901-1902 this increased to bacco tax was removed, but the shor weight packages of tobacco were con tinned by the very law that removed the tax. "The manufacturer still collect the wartime tax jfroni the consumers, but instead of paying it to the gov ernmcnt he keeps it for himself. "In this way the government has handed over to the tobacco manufac turers and lost to itself $12,S97 ililj.67 in 1902, $2.', 6X1,607. 21 1 1903, 26,91'.,270.X.S ill 1904, $27 r24,9r.r..49 in toon. $211,326,009.9 ill 1906, $31,198,451.32 in 1907, an $:lO,r,46,26S.89 in 190X. All told t ho government has lost $184,090 557.43 in the last right years. "Wllhin five hours from the tlm (his amendment Ts printed In th newspaper the ablest men employed by the tobacco trust to watch leg islation affecting it, will be iu,Wash inglon and remain here until th amendment is voted upon. I um no sure that they are not bore now. An wlthfn twenty-four hours from the time this amendment is published I llio newspapers agents of the Amer lean Tobacco Company will be work among the cigar-makers all over the country, trying to persuad them that this amendment will bea heavily- upon them and attempting, to frighten tITem into besieging con Kress with petitions and resolutions against It. Therefore, 1 want now, 1 the most emphatic -way, to reassure the cigar-makers of the country. "By cutting prices so as to compel competitors to sell to l or enter the new combination which It from time to time organized, the American To bacco Company has at the present time secured control of more than $2 per cent of the entire output of chewing tobacco of the country, more. than 71 percent of the smoking to bacco output of the country, more than 82 per cent of the cigarette out put of the country, and more than 9G per cent of the snuff output of the ountry. The tobacco trust, has passed through many forms of corporate du- icalion and combination. These eached their consummation at the me when the war tax was remov- and the war time package was peciticaly continued by express ords of the law. It. is worthy of note that when the war was drawing its close and farseeing men knew lat the war tax would be removed, uch inen us Ryan, Dolan, Whitney, rady, Widener,.

Only u Few Will ftr- Taken Back, (By Cable to The Times) Paris .May 14 The indications at noon today were that the strike of the employes of the postal and telegraphic departments was a com plote failure. Following the stormy session of the chamber of deputies when the government's rigid policy was upheld by an overwhelming vote tile strike weakened visibly today. The refusal of the confederated trade unions to declare a general strike left the postofflce completely at the mercy of the government While the socialists foresaw defeat the strikers have hope! all along for parliamentary interventon by whicii they would be granted concessions. The socialists, seeing their cause lost, abetted the riot and tumult and aided the royalists in their conten tlons. This action increased the ma jority in favor of the government's strong methods. The rigorous policy agreed upon scared many of the strikers back into their pljtces and at the opening o the offices today postofflce employe's of all grades were at work through out the city although it is still deem ed advisable to have soldiers guard many of the branch offices in outly ing districts.

Clark Kays lie is Sorry Conditions Are .Such That Intervention May Again be Necessary But That if We Gio Again We Will Go to Stay. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, May 14 Keen pleas ure, accompanied by irritation, today marks the feelings of high officials oi the important announcement made exclusively by the Hearst Neivs Ser- ice yesterday that the government has completed plans for th r-occupa- ion of Cuba at a not distant date. following the financial tangle into which the Cuban government is daily becoming inure deeply involved. Previous to the evacuation of Cu ba by United States troops under Brigadier General Thomas F. Barry on April 1, last, Major Mason M. Pat- ick, who was acting as chief engi neer officer of the Cuban army of pa- ification made a lengthy report to leneral Barry in which it was shown that practically every foot of Cuba had been plotted and mapped by both engineer and officers, of other branches' of the service, for possible future use. This report is now inTTTe hands the printers and until It offi cially reaches the secretary of war its exact contents cannot be divulged. although it was said at the war de partment today that much secret in formation contained in Major Pat rick's report is necessarily secret and therefore is not incorporated in the report of General Barry as It will ap pear In print. It was also admitted at the war department that Major E. E. Winslow of the engineer corps, has made a report to Brigadier Gen eral W. L. Marshall, chief of engi neers, in which it was shown that the entire island of Cuba has been so thoroughly mapped for possible fu ture use by United States troops that the topography of the Island is prac tically as well known to United States officers us Is ny section of the . United States. Brigadier General Marshall's report was read before the senate committee on military affairs, when these facts as well as others relating to the possible re-occupatlon of Cuba by out" fores was set forth. CAUSES COMMENT ' Notwithstanding this, the higher officers in the war department are today strenuously asserting that "so far as we know" there is no inten tion of the United States to again oc cupy Cuba. Again these officers could not -do otherwise than deny any knowledge of the Important facts as contained in the Hearst News Ser vice's exclusive story, of yesterday without subjecting themselves to cliarges for trial by court martlul. Tueir denials and silence will there fore be readily understood, while the denials and reticence of heads of de partments In the war, state and navy departments can be equally under stood on the theory that "when one goes to war one does not inform one's opponent in advance of plans made lor his defeat." One officer who is a member of the general staff, and of high rank, but whose Identity cannot of course be revealed, but who is close to ad niiiilst rat ion circles, said today: "The third invasion of Cuba will probably not be oue of United States military command at first, but in the nature of a directorate. This plan is favored by the army and the ad ministration because Its practicabil ity has been demonstrated by Eng land in controlling some of her is land possessions. This plan at Its In cept ion would not call for a large military force and would practically v permit the Cubans to govern them selves under direction of the United States. This plan would necessitate only sending at first perhaps two regi ments to Cuba. Instead of s, gover nor, a United States agent would be appointed who would have offices In the president's palace and to whom all governmental matters would have lo be submitted. This official woldd be the power behind the Cuban 'throne,' while the Cubans would ap parently govern -themselves, this United States republic would prevent them from taking ill advised mess Contlnued on Pag Tvo) -4 K V'
