Rear Admiral von Rebeau-Paacbwitz,
commanding the visiting division of
the German navy.
While more than a thousand brawny
German sailors stood at attention on
the decks of the giant Moltke, Ger

and to have an opportunity of visit
ing the Moltke, one of the finest ships
I've ever seen."

the big German vessel, the crew

party passed. Every part of the bat
tle cruiser was scrubbed and holy
stoned, every spar and line bore ita
quota of brillant bunting, and every
Individual sail was trim in holi
day attire.
As the president left the Moltke

the Star Spangled Banner and on
the gun deck a six pounder barked
out the twenty one guns of the pres
idential salute. The president, his
formal call of welcome over, return

ever, to appropriate $20,000 for con

Cuban Commander Expecta to Make
a Declalve Move Againat Rebels
In Orlente Province.
Havana, Cuba.—President Gomez
telegraphed General Monteagudo, the
commander-in-chief of the Cuban
army, who Is at the scene of hostili
ties In the province of Orlente, atat
ing that the general might permit
American marines to land on Cubau
soli to guard foreign property.
The dispatch added that the Cuban
forces then might retire from guard
lng such places and devote themselves
to pursuing the Insurgents.
The message of President Gomez
was a report covering the history of
the present revolt and the means
taken by the government to suppress
It. The message said the government
had been successful In all the prov
inces except Orlente. It transmitted
copies of the correspondence relating
to the uprising which had passed be
tween Cuba and the United States,
and also the copy of a dispatch sent
to General Monteagudo by the com
mandant of the American naval sta
tion at Guantanamo. acquainting Gen
eral Montoagudo of his Intention to
send the marines of the gunbqpt Pa
ducah to Daiquiri to protect American
property there.
Interest In Havana centered on the
question whether the United States
gunboat Paducah would land marines
at Daiquiri to protect the property of
•the Spanish American Iron company.
It overshadowed completely all the re
ported occurrences from the theater
of hostilities.
The American legation received ad
vices from Daiquiri that the plant of
the Iron company had been attacked.
| but that Its assailants were held In
I check by forty guards, who later were
reinforced by 100 other men. This
combined force drove off the Insurg
ents and on the arrival of the Padu
cah the fighting was over, and ap
parently there was no necessity for
the aid of American marines.

twenty counties where conventions
were held show that a large number
of unlnstructed delegations were
elected to the Btate convention at Du

however, that a larger number of del

tho Delegatea to Convention.
Washington.—lf the Taft manager*
aucceod In naming Senator Root as
temporary chairman of the Chicago
convention Roosevelt will be defeated
for the nomination by Taft or some
other man. Juatlce Hughes is most
talked of for a compromise candidate
at this time.
Senator Crane, it la aald, declared
that the only hope of the party la to
name Mr. Hughea, or some . other
strong man. But first the test of
strength between the Roosevelt and
anti-Roosevelt will come in the fight
over Mr. Root. Manager McKinley
of the Taft campaign has said repeat
edly that he would welcome the fight
on Mr. Root.
"We might as well have a show
down at the very beginning," he aald,
when told that Colonel Roosevelt had
announced that he would flght Sen
ator Root to the bitter end. It de
veloped that leading organizations
and administration Republicans de
sire to try the convention out on Root.
It Is believed that ail the votes cast
for Mr. Root for temporary chairman
can be controlled for a compromise
candidate.
It became known that George R.
Scrugham, formerly ot Cincinnati, but
Yecently of New York, and a friend of
Justice Hughes, has been collecting a
list of the names of the delegates to
the Republican convention with a
view to sounding them on Mr. Hughes.
Scurgham has written to many Repub
licans in various sections of the coun
try to ascertain the true feeling to
ward the Justice.
Mr. Scurgham was in some way con
nected with the development of the
Hughes boom four years ago but just
how heavy he is as a political manipu
lator is not known here, as he is
thought to be more or less obscure 1b
the political game.
