2 {he prosperity -which this country has created, Ufd they congratulate themselves on being In a irate of preparedness to discharge the responsi bilities and to cope with any condition which nay arise. One of the highest ranking and best posted offioers of the army, who served In the island at the time of the American occupation. laid to-day: Cuba may be able to take care of herself for ft. few years, but the United States will surely have to take hold In the long run. We all knew that when we evacuated Cuba., and everything that has occurred since has merely strengthened the conviction. Whether the republic there will last another year or two or fall in the present election, the first conducted without the super vision of American troops, will make little difference. Fortunately the army was never so ready In all Its history, not even in 1900. to undertake Quick work anywhere. Only two months ago President Roosevelt thought It would be a good Idea to test the new organization under the general staff by ordering live thousand troops to be assembled with urgent dispatch at New port News and landed as soon as possible at Portland. Me. The intention was kept secret wntfl the ruartermaster general could estimate the expense. The general staff was found to have Its plans complete for this or any similar movement, including all railway and steamship accommodations, and was prepared to guarantee to have the troops at sea In this case within three days after the President Issued the order, without any preliminary f warning whatever to garrisons or carriers. The quartermaster gen eral, however, found no funds available for mobilization movements after July 1. this year's Congress having failed to make any new ap propriation, and the balance from last year's fund after the actions of the Chesapeake having reverted to the treasury. The President was satisfied, however, that he could rely on a prompt response whether an emergency arose in Cuba, Panama, Venezuela or Santo Dominsro- So when the Cubans can no longer control themselves, we shall be found ready to do It for them at a few days" notice. Five thousand men could probably do the job this time with a little naval co-operation to clear the landln? places. No special preparations would have to be made. We are all ready with more compe tent officers than we ever had. better drilled men. better weapons, supplies and all that go to make an efficient army. Inquiries made at the State Department to day by several more or less Interested persons regarding the authority of the United States to intervene !n Cuban affairs, land troops or take other measures to suppress riots and re store order In the event of further political dis turbances, were replied to with an emphatic declaration of the plenary powers o? this coun try. Attention was called to repeated efforts of the Cuban government to e^caps the provisions of the Platt amendirent, and especially of Ar ticle 111. which asserts that "the government of Cuba consents that the President cf the United States may exercise the right to inter vene fo^the protection of life, property and in dividual liberty." It 1b noteworthy that on February 26, 1901, a committee composed of Diego Tamayo, J. G. Gomex, Gonzalo De Quesaia. now Minister to this country; Enrique Villuendas, the member of Congress who was killed yesterday in Cien fuegos, and Manuel R. Silva, now a Senator, re ported to the constitutional convention a sub stitute for Article 111. of the Platt amendment, which read: Third— The Government of the Republic of Cuba will accept the Treaty of Paris of Decem ber 10, 1898. in its integrality, the same in what affirms Cuba's rights in regard to the obligations it limitedly assigns her. and especially thosa obligations imposed by international law for the protection of lives and property, substituting \ tne United States In the obligation they ac quireq to that effect in conformity with Article 3 I and^KVl of said Treaty of Paris. Secretary Root, acting for the United States, promptly and effe ually declined to accept this somewhat ambiguous substitute, by which It •was sought to terminate the authority of this country with the adoption of the Cuban Con stitution, and firmly and persistently held out for the adoption as an integral part of the Cuban Constitution of the precise terms of the Platt amendment. That there could have been no misunderstanding of the extent of the au thority conferred 'by that so-called amendment on the United States is perfectly obvious from the determined effort which Cuba then made to escape its provisions. The United States, how ever, never wavered and never deviated from its original demand, and Cuba was ultimately re quired to Incorporate every line and word of the Platt amendment into a perpetual treaty •with the United States, which was duly ratified by the Cuban and United States Senates, and final ratification exchanged at Washington on July 1. 1904. The Platt amendment Is perma nently, therefore, the supreme law of Cuba, as tt is of the United States, and it cannot be dis regarded. Under these circumstances there can be no Question as to the authority of the United States to act, with such force as may be deemed neces sary precisely at such a moment as the situation In Cuba may, in the estimation of the Presi dent demand such action. In reply to a sugges • tlon that the President might deem it necessary to consult Congress before essaying any drastio action it was fui-lt r poin f^d out that there ■would be no occasion whatwer for such con sultation, for the reas->a that the treaty of July 1, 1904, Is as bin 'ins* on the President as it la ob Cuba, and that he would be derel'.ct in his duty did he fail to intervene, not aa an act of war. but as an act of friendship an-3 protec tion, as soon as there occurred in his Judgment. the necessity for such interference. Of course there is no expectation on the part of the officials of the government that such necessity will arise now, but the anxious In quirer who submits to the State Department a hypothetical question regarding the authority of the President will obtain a response which will leave him no room for doubt on that score. r A SMALL RIOT CHECKED.

Ammunition Reported Shipped from This City— Guns Not Needed. It was learned yesterday from a trustworthy source that several shipments of ammunition have been made from this city within the last few weeks to members of the Liberal party In Cuba. These supplies were purchased from a firm which furnished much of the war ma terial to the Cuban junta at the time of the last rebellion and were shipped clandestinely as merchandise to escape the attention of Con sul General Zayas In this city. It is the belief of The Tribune's Informant that the cartridges thus obtained here by agents of the Liberals are now stored in various cities of the island, particularly In Cienfuegos. for use in the cam paign against the Moderates. That no rifles were shipped Is explained by the fact that nearly every Cubac veteran retained his gun at the close of hostilities. It was to guard against just such an em ergency as seems now to have arisen that Gen eral John B. Brooke, while military Governor of Cuba offered to the Cuban soldiers $75 each for the surrender of their rifles. Comparatively few were returned, and the arms still remain in the hands of the veterans. All that was needed, therefore. It Is said, fully to equip the excited Cubans was ammunition, and. accord ing to the information received, this has been furnished. The old father of Colonel Enrique Villuendas, the Cuban Congressman who was killed on Friday, at Cienfuegos. In a poMtical fight, is BtJll at No. 145 West 66th-st. f this city. He was yesterday informed of his son's death. Seflor Villuendas, who is about seventy-five years old, has been in delicate health and the killing of hia favorite eon has been a great shock to him. He hopes to sail on Thursday for Havana, ac companied by his fourteen-year-old daughter Esmeralda. While It Is the consensus of opinion among local Cubans that President Palma will be vic torious at the December elections, their advices from Cuba are that the Liberals will resort to every means to elect their candidate for the Presidency, General Jose Miguel Gomez, Gov ernor of Santa Clara Province. Piesident Palma is said to have tha support of the commercial interests of the island and ths better element of Cuban citizens. General Gomez, on the other han«l. who Is a man of very radical views and an outspoken enemy of the United States and the Platt amendment, has rallied about him an element from which trouble can be feared. A prominent Cuban who is a friend of Presi dent Palma said yesterday that he would ad vise the President not to leave the Presidential residence henceforth unless accompanied by a heavy guard, as anything might be expected from the Gomez followers. At the Cuban consulate little Importance was attached to the disturbance at Cienfuegos. Vice- Consul Altamira said: "They are nothing mora than the political fights that precede elections everywhere." Large orders for campaign buttons have been placed with a firm in this city by the Palma and the Gomez parties. BOSTON MYSTERY CLEWS Man Seen with Suit Case Similar to That Containing Woman's Body. Boston, Sept. 23. — What is termed by the po lice the "mystery of the dress suit case" re mains unsolved. An all night search for the head, arms and legs of the woman whose torso was washed ashore in a bag on Wlnthrop Beach was unsuccessful. The police announced this afternoon that they had been told by M. A. Driscoll and James Moran, of East Boston, that a man, acting strangely, had been seen placing a dark green suit case into a rowboat at Woods' Wharf, East Boston, on Thursday afternoon, shortly before the body was discovered. The man. they said, did not attract their attention especially, but the suit case did because of its strange color. The man acted as if the suit case was heavy. Driscol! and Moran have furnished the police with a fair description of the man. Another slight clew developed to-day. The manufacturer from whom the dress suit case was originally purchased discovered that since the time of the sale the case has been extensively repaired, presumably by a harnessrraker. The police believe that if the harnessmaker could be found an advance of importance would be made In the investigation. HAS A "SAGE" CHECK. Saloon Bothered by Paper Left by Careless Young Men. A 6th-ave. Tenderloin saloon has a check for $5,000 bearing the name of Russell Sage. The proprietors are anxious to know whether or not Mr. Sage is the man who wrote the signature. Yesterday three young men went into the saloon, which is run by Davis & Martin, at No. 685 6th-ave., and drank until the bill amounted to $15. Then they discovered that there was only nine cents in the party. The bartender began to look worried. "Oh, never mind; we're no cheap skates," said one of the three. "Guess this will cover the bill," and he airily flung the check for $5,000 on the bar. It was drawn on the New-Amsterdam National Bank, payable to Charles W. Freiling heiser. After the young man hid indorsed it, "Pay to bearer, Charles W. Freilingheiser," the party started to leave the place. "Hey, there, what about your change?" yelled the bartender. "Oh, that's all right. We'll be back to-morrow for it," replied Mr. Freilingheiser from the door. The bartender thinks the party was from out of town, and did not know that all Tenderloin saloons eiose on Sunday. Meanwhile he a;:d Davis & Martin are still guessing. NViW-WKK DAILY TRIBUNE. SUNDAY.

LYNCH NEGRO ASSAULTER Mob Acts After Woman, Eight Days Unconscious, Identifies Man. [By Telegraph to The Tribune. 1 Memphis. Bept. 23.— After lying unconscious for eight days from the effects of an assault upon her by a negro who first murdered her oldest boy. Mrs. Lawrence, of Conway, Ark., recovered her senses on Friday night long enough to identify Prank Brown as the mur derer. He was at onco started back to th<» jail, but the citizens had heard of the Identifi cation, and took Brown away from the officers, hanging him in the courthouse square. The execution was so quietly conducted that persons living within a hundred yards were not aware that anything unusual was going on. Mrs. Lawrence cannot recover, though one other child who was attacked is doing well FIRE HORSE SAVES LIFE Jumps Clear Over Boy in the Way of Chiefs Buggy. The sagacity of a fire horse saved the life of a four-year-old boy last night The horse is used by Chief Devanny of the 9th Battalion, in respond ing to fires in his buggy, and has a wonderful rec ord even for a fire horse. Last night, when coming up 9th-ave. at a gallop, a little toy, whose name is not known by the chief, toddied out from the sidewalk in front of the rap idly approaching horse and buggy. John Monihan, the driver, did not see the little one until the horse and buggy were within a few feet of him. Moni han knew that he could not pull the horse up or pull him to the right or left, so he shouted, as did the chief, and both left it to the horse. Passers by also shouted and turned away. The horse saw the boy at the same time, and, accord- Ing to eyewitnesses, leaped clear over the child, who luckily fell down from fright. Although the wheels of the bugfry passed close to the child, he was unharmed. Monihan pulled up, expecting to pick up an Injured and dying child, but the little fellow gained his feet, and, much scared but un hurt, n.ade his* way back to the curb, whore he was picked up and taken away. Seeing that the child had been saved by the Jump of his horse, Chief Devanny whipped up again and proceeded to the fire, which was trifling. MODEL STOOD THE TEST Resistance of Armored Cruisers to Shell Fire Demonstrated, Washington, Sept. 23. — Aa account was given to-day by the Naval Bureau of Ordnance of an interesting test, conducted yesterday at the naval proving grounds at Indian Head, In con tinuation of the series of experiments begun last March to determine the resisting power of the Tennessee class of armored cruisers under the attack of projectiles loaded with various klnda of explosives. The account says: The six and eight Inch guns were used In the test, the striking velocity of the projectiles be ing those corresponding to ranges from three thousand to five thousand yards. The target was a structure built in exact imitation of the side of the Tennessee, with all decks, bulkheads, etc.. complete. The results were, on the whole, extremely satisfactory as regards the design of the ship. The damage done by the bursting shells was localized within the compartment where the explosion took place, and while the damage to both personnel and material within the compartment would undoubtedly have been very great the ship as a whole would have been intact at the conclusion of the firing. As a final test, a twelve-inch shell was ex ploded within a closed compartment just above the armored deck. Ths local effect of this was considerable, but the armored deck was not pen etrated. SOLD LIQUOR TO BOYS. Dealers Fined and Severely Rebuked by Court. Justice McAvoy, presiding in the Court of Special Sessions, yesterday severely rebukefl two liquor dealers, convicted of selling beer and whiskey to minor?. He imposed a fine of $60 In one case and $10) or thirty days In the City Prison In the other. Agents Bruper and Eberty, of the children's so ciety, on September 12 saw Henry Polltzer, ten years old, go into the saloon of Albert Rind, No. 1,328 lst-ave., and buy a pint of beer. They ar rested the boy and the saloonkeeper. The letter's defence was that the boy celled for birch beer, and that he thought, or intended, to give the boy what he called for. Justice MeAvoy said: The Inducements held out to this boy to make him lie were such as to prevent him ever becoming a good citizen. The birch beer proposition I do not think is sufficient, because the ten-year-old boy has been debauched by subsequent influences, that is, by some arrangement or promise made since th« time of the arrest. I do not think that a 160 fine is anywhere near a severe enough penalty I vote for Imprisonment. Charles Roth, of No. 2,238 2d-ave.. was the next prisoner. On June 13 Ralph Sforza, fifteen, of No. 211 East lllth-st., with a boy comnanion. Daniel Christian, went Into the saloon and bought a bottle of whiskey. An hour later Sforza was found unconscious from liquor. He was taken to the Harlem Hospital, where for days his life was despaired of. The boy said that Roth had mixed brandy with the whiskey. Justice McAvoy said: The court. in finding this defendant guilty wishes to say that this is a (rave offence. Iff bad enough to sell beer to a minor, but it's a great deal worse to sell whiskey to a boy. The court takes into cognizance the fact that the liquor sold -.va^ in a bottie. and the bartender might have thought the stuff was Intended for the lad's parents. But parents should not send their boys into saloons and bartenders must not sell liquor to them The court is not going to send you to prison this time, but It Imposes a penalty on you that ought to act as a deterrent on you people In th« liquor business, so that you shall cease selling liquor to minors. It isn't right or Just to tha community that you should sell to persons stimu lants which are likely to do great Injury. After the trials It was announced by the lawyer who appeared for both that the Retail Liquor Dealers' Association, which usually pays a lawyer for defending Its members In excis-s cases, had re fused, to defend either Roth or Rind, Th* Orch^irrl'e , omVi o >'l the effect! which can b: praJjttd by thr mot? skilful manipulation of a grand organ with th»je of an orchestra. —I.
