Relieved No Attack Will Dc Made on Havana Until After Arrival of Pino Guerra's Forces American War- ships Will Protect British Interests. llavnna, Sept. 18. The only results thus far of President I'alma's order for tho HUHpensIon of hostilities have been that llhorul leaders, who hitherto have had every reason for anticipat ing arrest, are circulating openly In Havana again and even conferring with members of tho government with regard to peace and that such Inaur gents in tho field as Have been con Bulled, while they oxpross themBolvea tin apre-'able to settling matters ami cably, at tho same time assume an Independent attitudo which cannot be Bald to bldo particularly well for a prompt sotlleraent of existing difficul ties. In the meantime Cienfuegos is In a Btnte of siege, communication by tele graph being severed, not only in the direction of Havana, but to Santiago bs well. It Is known that Cienfuegos Jiad not been attacked up to midnight Sundny, but what baa transpired since that time- is not known hero. All ac counts agree that there nro easily 3, flOO insurgents a few miles southeast of Havana, and rumors are in circula tion that they will enter the city peaceably, if they arc not molested, lHjt that they will fight If they meet with resistance. All visitors to Insur gent camps In Havana province re turn with this impression, but It is be lieved no nttempt will bo made against Havana until the arrival of Pino Guorra'a force, which now is va riously reported to be from twenty to forty miles distant. Tho general im pression is that the presence In Ha vana harbor or the American cruiser Uenver will not net as a deterrent to F.uch a movement, tho auxiliary cruis er Dixie having gone to Cienfuegos Bnd tho cruiser Des Moines having gone presumably to bring to Cuba Secretary of War Taft and Assistant Secretary of Stato Bacon. Tho announcement from Washing ton that Americnn vessels of wnr will protect British ns well as American interests is taken as applying especial ly to Cienfuegos, whero the English owned Cuban Centrnl railroad lias lieen obliged to suspend operations iind has suffered considerable damage to its property. The peace endeavors have really re solved themselves more into negotia tions between the moderates and lib erals than between the government Btul the insurgents. The moderates, while entirely loyal to President Pal ina, seem now to bo less concerned over his continuance In office than with the perpetuation of the control liy their party. Mondoz Capote, as president of tho moderate organiza tion, and Alfredo Zayas, .as president of the liberal party, will largely bo able to dominate tho situation. NAVY READY FOR EMERGENCY Movement Toward Peace In Cuba Is Well Under Way. "Washington, Sept. 18. Commander Colwoll of the cruiser Denver, at Ha vana, telegraphed tho nnvy depart ment thnt nil was rtulct In Havana. Hostilities formally censed Sunday and a dcfitilto settlement of the trou bles seemed possible. The reassur ing dispatch, together with the visit of Secretnry Taft and Acting Secre tary Bacon, indicates that tho move ment toward peace in Cuba is woll un der way. At the samo time no changes linve been made In tho naval program. Tho Louisiana, Virginia and Now Jer sey are now on their way to Havana. Tho Newark sailed from Norfolk and the Minneapolis will still from I.eaguo Island today. With tho force already at Havana nnd that which will be there in a few days tho navy depart ment feels assured that it will be am ply able to prevent any trouble in Havana, and It appears that the move ment of such n force toward the Cu ban capital was due to tho fact that there was grave danger to the capital of Cuba. Every confidence is felt at the navy department in the force which has tieen sent to Cuba to meet nny situa tion which arises. While there Is a pacific feeling, preparations are go 5ng forward by tho war department to meet anything that may arise if it should bo. necessnry for a strong force to Intorvone. It is stated that troops nnd transports will soon bo available and only await orders in case the mis sion of Seorotary Taft falls and hos tilities are renewed and are beyond the control of tho Cuban government.

CRICHTON MAKES CONFESSION Implicates Roscbrook and Balzer in Baden Produce Company Case. Winflold, Kan., Sept. 18. Q. B. Crlchton, one of tho accused in tho J. V. Baden Produce company forgery and perjury case, went on 'the Btnnd as a witness for tho state and made a full confession, implicating F. E. Rose brook, president of tho company, and piling up evidence against F. R. Bal zer. It was Crichton'B statement to the prosecuting attorney since his ar rest that caused tho arrest of Rose brook in New York. Roscbrook is charged with forgery and with getting money under falBO pretenses. Crlch ton produced many letters from Bal zer, Roaebrbok'B manager, showing ir regular methods. Ho was told to learn tho letters by heart, then destroy them. In December, 1904, Crichton testified, tho plant wns nearly $70,000 insolvent.

Mr. Hayden says ho made an exhaust ive examination of the various opera tions, from killing to canning. The slaughtering is carried out In tho most humane and scientific manner, al though It might seem repulsive to n nonpractlcal person. Ho found tho employes clean In their person and the work blocks and floors exceeding ly clean and well kept. Columbus Wins Pennant. Chicago, Sept. IS. All American Association games have been played.

Michnel Dunn, former building inspector and private secretary to former Mayor Rose, who was convicted and sen tenced to eighteen months in tho house of correction on tho charge of receiving a bribo from a browing com pauy, wna pardoned by Governor Da vidson. Dunn is in poor hoaltJ,. THE PILLAR OF LIGHT (Oontimied from pngo.l.) help within call, so to speak? We might us well be In n mine closed up by an explosion. Ami, I'll tell you what, I'm real sorry for you." Brand, collapsing under the strain, sank into u chair. , "It Is an awful thing," he moaned, "to condemn so ninny men, women and children to such a death." A spasm of pain mude Pyne's lips tremulous for an Instant. He had for gotten Elsie and Mamie. But his voice was fully under con trol when he spoke again. "You can count on me In the deal in all but one thing," he said. Tho older man looked up fiercely. What condition could bo imposed in the fulfillment of n duty so terrible? "I nm here by chance," went ou Pyne. "One of your daughters may have told you that Mrs. Vnnslttart came from New York to marry my un cle. Anyhow you would know she was dear to him by his message today. She Is sort of in my charge, and I can't de sert her. It's hard luck, as I don't care n cent for her. She's tho kind of wom an old men adore fascinating, blrdllko creatures when the cage is gilded." Brand sprnhg to bis feet and raced up to the trimming stage. When his hands were on the lamp he felt surer of himself. It gave him strength dur ing the hurricane, and it would strengthen him now. "There can be no exceptions," ho said hnrshly. Pyne waited until the lighthouse keeper rejoined him. "I ought to have put my proposition before you first and made u speech aft erward," he said. "Constance nnd Enid yrlll Join you here when you say the word, but 1 will be ou ihe other side of the burrlcade." 'Njn-'(nse!" cried Brand. "You have no right to thrust away the chance that is given you. You saved all these peo ple once. Why should yoci die use lessly?" "What! Suppose It pans out that way. Suppose we live n couple of weeks and escape. Am I to face tho old man and tell him the truth? No, sir. You don't mean It. You wouldn't do It yourself. What about that shark the girls told me of? 1 can guess Just ''at happened. He wanted the light rv-iliment In the boat. Did you scoot .ack when you saw his fin? I'm u heap younger than you, Mr. Brand, but that bluff doesn't go." "Thank heaven, we have twenty-four hours yet!" murmured Brand. "It will be all tho same when wo have only twenty-four seconds. Let u fix it that way' right now. Don't you see, It will be easier to deceive tho girls? And there's another reason. Bar ricade and shoot ns you like, it will bo a hard thing to keep threescore des perate men boxed up "down below. When they begin to dldt on colza there will bo trouble. A few of us, ready to take chances, will bo helpful. Some of them may have to die quick, you know." Brand closed his eyes in sheer af fright. In that way he tried to shut out a vision. "Bo it so," lie gasped. "May tho Lord help us." It was the responsibility that master ed hlin. Judges on the bench often break down when they sentence a criminal to death, but what Judge, hu mane, tender hearted and God fearing, over pronounced the doom of seventy eight people snatched from a merciful death to be stooped in horrors? At last his iron will predominated. The knowledge that the patli of duty lay straight before him cheered his tor tured soul. No man could say be erred In trying to save Ills children. That was it trust as solemn as any conferred by the Elder Brethren of the Trinity. He placed a hand on Pyne's shoulder, for this youngster had become dear to him. "Had I a son," lie said, "I should wish him to be like you. Lot us strive to forget the evils that threaten us. Brooding Is useless. If need be you will take charge of the lower deck. There is starvation allowance for three more days at the worst, but I bate the thought of starting the now scale to morrow." "It may not be necessary." "Candidly, I fear It will. I know the Cornish coast too well. When bad weather sets In from the southwest at tills season it holds for a week at tho lowest computation." "Is there no other way? Can noth ing be done out there?"

There Is none." "Thnt's good," cried Pyne pleasantly. "Where Is your pouch? I feel like a smoke. If I hadn't tired that question at you I should have wasted a lot of time in hnrd thinking." Brand had to scheme that night to reach the storeroom unobserved. The Falcon, steaming valiantly to her ob servation post nenr the buoy, aided him considerably. lie permitted the night watch to gather In the service room wlillo he supplied the men with tobacco and stationed the ollicer on the gallery to observe tho trawler in case she showed any signal lights. Since tho attempt on the lock Con stance gave the key to her father after each visit. For tho rest, tho Inmates of the pillar were sunk In the lethargy of unsatisfied hunger. Constance and Enid, utterly worn out with fatigue, wero sound asleep In tho kitchen, and tho tears coursed down the man's face ns be acted the part of a thief in se curing the measured allowance of Hour nnd bacon for one meal. The diet of one hungry meal for eighty-one people gave twenty-seven hungry meals for three. He ought to have taken more, but he set his teeth and refused the ungrateful task. It Is ol'ttlmes easy for a man to de cide upon a set course, but hard to fol low It. "A week!" he murmured. "Perhaps ten days! That Is all. Pray heaven I may not go mad before they die!" Pyne, watching the light, knew that Brand had succeeded. Tho Falcon went. Gradually the watch dispersed. "Whore Is the board V" asked Pyne, making believe that they were playing some comedy. "Hidden in the kitchen lockers. I could obtain only distilled water. You must persuade the girls In the morning that something went wrong with tho apparatus." As opportunity offered Brand trans. ferred tho tins to the loiters of tho service room. Pyne, who missed noth ing, shook his head when it becaino evident that the last consignment was safely stored away.
