tates close. to the town. After this themilitia quieted down. Gen. Perez says hecan guarantee lives and property at Guantanamo.He adds that he is very far fromrebelling against the Americans and standsready to obey any orders given him by theHavana revolutionary committee of the insurgentarmy to lay down arms and co-operatewith the Americans for the inde-yciiu'-nce ui luuh. ne says ne win aisDanahis troops as soon as the Americans cometo protect the non-combatants and foreigners.

rlous proportions. When the order to Burrendertheir arms was given to the men intheir quarters at No. 2 Flguras street theyrefused to obey It, saying that they hadnot yet received their pay. Capt.

Kay Be Trouble.In a speech delivered at Des Moines,

Iowa, last evening, Senator Beverldge pre-dieted trouble In Cuba. He said In art:"Our record In Cuba must bo as clear

are doing the work of Sissyphus.roiling thestone to the top of the hill, only to see Itroll back again. When another Cubanpresident is elected by Cuban votes, howlong will It be before another Cuban insurrectionoverthrows him? When we againset another Cuban government on its feet.how ions will it De Derore roonsn tactionswill again lay It prostrate? When we havesteadied the falling Cuban flag by the armsof American soldiers and sailors, and thenhave again withdrawn the American powerthat saved It, how long will it be until oncemore anarchy will make It the vain emblemof a powerless government?"In the end destiny will have her way.

WORLD'S WIRELESS CONGRESS.

Preliminary Exchange of Views atSession in Berlin.

BERLIN, October 4..The delegates to theintomQfinnai wireless telegraph confer-ence had a preliminary exchange of viewsat the session toJay, from which it appearedthat the British delegates are prepared to

go further than previously supposed in thematter of International regulation. The attitudeof the British had been waited withthe utmost interest because upon GreatBritain's action the entire success or partialfailure of the conference depends.The British delegates joined in the view

that wireless telegraphy had developed toa point where international accord is desirable,and their efforts will be directed towardfinding the way to co-operate Internationallywhile remaining loyal to the arrangementsalready entered into with Marconi. In thisendeavor it is Raid to be quite possible thatthe Marconi company will yield sufficientlyto make an agreement possible. Tne Britishcourse probably would be followed by Italy,which has similar relations with Marconi.Agents of the principal wireless companiesthroughout the world are here watc.i-

ing the proceedings. Marconi has not yetarrived. The American delegates lunchedtoday with Ambassador and Mrs. Tower.

Representative Charles A. Towne of New a

Tork, formerly representative and for two tlmonths a senator from Minnesota, proposes 0to stump the state of New York againstthe Hearst ticket and does not intend toagain be a candidate for the nominationas a member of the House of Representatives.This statement was made by Mr. Charles

W. Slater or this city, who today returned 0

from New York, where he had a long con- '>versation with Mr. Towne concerning his ei

plans for the coming campaign. _

"Mr. Towne does not regard Hearst asa candidate of the democracy," said Mr.Slater, in commenting on this statement, g"He considers that the methods pursued byHearst in securing the gubernatorial noml- Hnation were such as not to entitle him to jany consideration from democrats. Helooks upon his candidacy and campaign as Apurely a personal matter In which no party cnan is interested and which cannot callfor support from any democrat. o

"Mr. Towne intends to decline a renom!- jjnation for Congress," continued Mr. Slater,because he wants to devote his time toprofessional and business matters and to 0make money, which he lias not been abletj do while attending to his duties in Con- lrgress.
