What Senator Beveridge Says of Un
cle Sam in Cuba. Des Moines, la., Oct. 4. In his
speech here to n large audience of
Republicans Senator Beveridge, of In
diana, said relative to Cuba: "From
Santiago to Havana the Cuban fiag still flies, visible proof to the world
of our intention not to raie the Amer
ican fag and establish American gov
ernment there until the Cuban people themselves compel us to do so.
Speaking for myself alne.
and for no one else, I believe that in
re-establishing the Cuban government all the world knows that we are doing the work of Sisyphus roiliugthe stone to the top of the hill only to see it roll back again.
"Let us keep the Cuban flag floating
whllo we may, so that when we raise the American flag only when we must, that flag will be unfurled never to be furled again. Hereafter when the
American flag Is raised It must never be hauled down."

I got hold of him and dragged him to the bank where, as soon as we got the water out of him. he was all right. He was mighty thankful to be pulled out. 'I'd have made it all right

change was because of advices the president had received from Taft intimating that the arrangements made
for Governor Winthrop assuming the duties of provisional governor had gone
too far to be changed conveniently. Hears Again from Taft.
A later dispatch from the secretary,

MOBILE IS STILL EXCITED
Mob Is Wanting Some Negro Blood Before It Can Best Quietly. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 4. Mobile passed a day of great excitement due to the incidents of the mob that went to the county jail to get the negro Dick, alias Cornelius, Robinson, charged with assault upon the little Sossaman girl, and the resultant bloodshed.

The assault on the Sossaman girl is the second case of the sort, there being another negro In jail in Birmingham, Willie Thompson by name, who prob
ably would have been lynched here
about a month ago had the mob been able to get held of him.
Last evening a meeting was held
near the jail and a committee visited
the jail and reported that the negro
was not there. The crowd dispersed
About the same hour the grand jury In session brought In indictments

hanging, unless a miracle should hap
pen and one or both could absolutely
prove innocence.
