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.

THE LIBERALS ARMING.
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.

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,

RECENT important developments in both the Orchestrelle and the music arranged for it
have resulted in a large increase in the sa'e of this instrument. This increased demand
has resulted in many exchanges from lower to higher priced styles.
We therefore find ourselves to- day able to mikt the greatest offering of used Orchesftelfes, in num

THE DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER OF THE OSCHESTRELIE
THE ORCHESTRELLE c»n be compared with no other instrument, for nothing else exists which at
all resembles M. It is a veritable " Home Orchestra." Anyone can play it by means of perforated
music-rolls on the same principle as the Aeolian, of which it is a f u* her development. The
Orchestrelle, with the new Orchestrated Music, is capable of playing with full orchestral effects everything
that has been written since the times of Bach, Mozart and Handel ; from Beethoven s Fifth Symphony to
light opera, dance music and popular melodies.
