THE ISLE OF IS AMERICAN SOIL Venerable Senator Morgan Champions Americans who Oppose Ratification. HIS SENSATIONAL CHARGES ALABAMIAN SOLON STATES THAT CUBA MISGOVERNS THE ISLAND SENATOR STONE RIDICULES PRESIDENT. Publishers' PresaJ Washington, June 1. The Senate today passed the employers liability bil, heard Mr. Morgan (Ala.) denounce Cuba's control of the Isle of Pines as a "dirty despicable de facto government," and entered in to a splr lted debate over the proposal to authorize the purchase of all Panama canal machinery and supplies in America except where the president held the price to be exhorbitant. The venerable Alabama senator stood as the champion of the Americans who are opposing the ratification of a treaty recognizing Cuba's sovereignty over the Isle of Pines. He spoke of his resolution, which provides for a senatorial committee of seven to visit the Island, and of governmental conditions. His charges of mlsgovernment were highly sensa tional. Mr. Hale moved to refer it to the committee on foreign relations. Mr. Morgan desisted. He changed that the Cuban government treated the American residents there in a severe unjust and unlawful manner and demanded "a rational just and honest settlement of a question that has taken hold of the public sentiment and that cannot be suppresed. Pointing to the declaration of secretary of state Root that the Island was always Cuban territory, he exclaimed: "If this is true, why is he here demanding the ratification of a treaty which purposes the sale of the island to the Cuban government. If he believes what he has urged through political or personal reasons let him take this treaty out of this body." The matter went over without ac tion. When the resolution directing the purchase of canal material and supplies from American manufacturers was taken up. Mr. Stone (Mo.) ridi culed the attitude of the president, whom he declared had said that he would have all such material pur chased In the cheapest market, but that his "pronounciamento had end ed in the customary Rooseveltian fiasco."

SEVENTEEN FATALITIES

THE CASUALTY LIST STEADILY CROWING, NOW NUMBERING NINETY-THREE THE MADRID POLICE ARE BEING CRITICISED. Publishers' Press Madrid, June 2. Despite the fact that the city is plunged into the deep est of mourning, owing to the attempt to assassinate the King and Queen on their wedding day. and other fatal re sults following the bomb throwlng.all the festivities planned to follow after the wedding, are being carried out. A magnificent state luncheon was given at the Palace Friday in honor of the royal visitors, and this was follow ed by a brilliant reception. The King personally received the guests. The bull fight, which was among the forms of entertainments to follow the wedding festivities, will also take place. A few of the victims of the outrage the casualties of which were placed at 17 dead, and 76 injured, some of them fatally, were buried Friday evening. The funeral processions were wit nessed by thousands of people who crowded the streets and paid homage to the dead. The royal family was represented at the funeral. Twenty-Five Arrests. The police have thus far arrested twenty-five persons who are suspect ed of being implicated in the attempted assassination, and among those it is stated on the best of authority Is the assassin himself. A search of the assassin's room brought to light chemical substances which prove that the bomb was made Dut a rew minutes oerore it was thrown, and it Is known that the thrower of the bomb himself was in jured, because of the bomb striking against the balcony and breaking In to small pieces, which fell all around him and over the crowd in the vlclni y of the royal coach,- which had a mi raculous escape from the full force of he explosion. The police of Madrid are being criticised for the ease with which the would-be assassin was able to perpe trate the bomb outrage. Police Were Informed.. The police were informed in advance that an attempt would be made to assassinate the king, and for that reason made the request upon other Europe en governments that their best detec tives would be sent to Madrid. All the skilled detectives in the Spanish provinces, especially from Barcelona, was ordered to the capital as well. But the police did their work badly and for that reason are blamed for the ease with which the assassin car vied out the plot. One foreign detec tive who was sent here to assist in protecting the king, said tonight to the correspondent of the Publishers Press Association: "The Spanish detectives left everything to us. They had no plan of action, or did not know how to keep track of the anarchists known to be in the city. They only began watching the railway depots a week before the wedding day, and kept no watch on Barcelona for anarchists leaving that city. They worked like amateurs." Vigilance Was Lax. An incident which occurred Thursday night substantiates the complaint made against the Spanish ponce authorities. No search was made of the southern express leaving Madrid at 8 o'clock before the train left the Capital. Detectives did not enter the train until it had reached Valladoild in the morning, and It had made three stops prior to that time. Even then the detectives made only the smallest kind of an examination. They did not turn on the lights in the sleep ing compartments, but cotented them selves with lighting matches. The reason the assassin escaped at the time was because the police lost their heads completely. They rushed about Calle Mayor street waving their arms and shouting, joining in the general panic. Officers did not enter the house from which the bomb was thrown until several minutes after the incident occurred, giving the assassin plenty of time to escape over the roofs of other houses. The police continued to search the first house for two hours, as they were convinced that the assassin was concealed somewhere In the building and did not search neighboring houses until two hours later. (BULLETIN.) Jadrid, June 2. A second bomb, which had not exploded, was found near the .entrance to the palace, and upon investigation, was found to cos, tain a half pound of high explosives. The a,rrest of the Englishman, supposed to be named Hamilton, and who Is thought to be the assassin, was the cause of a wild disturbance. A mob formed Immediately after the arrest and uttered dire threats against Hamilton. One of the mob slashed Hamilton across the face with a walking stick and severely cut him. It was with the greatest difficulty that the police succeeded in holding their prisoner from the fury of the mob, but they finally managed to drive off with bjnu

Allsopp, while running at fast clip, swung his automobile across the road to avoid a wagon and crashed into a telegraph pole, killing him almost instantly That the automobile was running at a high speed is evidenced by the fact that the machine struck the pole with such force as to break it near the ground and also break off the cross arm at the top where the wires were fastened.

The month of February, with 24 alarms, holds the record. The six fires in the city last month were slight and the loss of money by them was very low.

ACTION BY ASSOCIATION

THOSE IN CHARGE OF THE AF FAIR FEEL THAT THE REQUEST IS A MOST WORTHY ONE AND WILL BE GRANTED. With a view to determine what the attitude of the general public will be toward the proposed celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the settlement of Richmond, the executive committee of the Centennial As sociation determined, at a meeting held yesterday to go before the coun cil at its meeting Monday night and ask for an appropriation of $5,000 to partially cover the cost of the cele bration. Of this amount it Is desired that $1,00 be voted toward the publi cation of the history and that $4,000 go to the other expenses. It is conten ded that as this is purely a munici pal matter, and not to the interest of any man or set of men, the Coun cil, in reflecting the sentiment of the general public, should set Its stamp of approval on the celebration and should assist It financially. This will furnish a substantial groundwork up on which to work and it is believed by the committee that Interest In tho project will at once become enthusi astic. Sub Committee is Named. President Cyrus W. Hodgin, of the Centennial Association, Supt. T. A. Mott, B. B. Myrick, Jr., and Prof. . Walter S. Davis were named as committee to appear before the Coun cil Monday evening and make a state ment to that body as to the Centen nial celebration, giving all the Information the council may desire. Todaj City Attorney Gardner will be asked to draw up a resolution providing fol the appropriation of S5.000 and it wilf be presented Monday night. It Is known that Mayor Zimmerman and perhaps a majority and maybe all the members of the Council favor the Centennial celebration and are will' ing to vote It financial aid, that it will be only the legal Dhase of the' matter I that will need to be considered. Much preliminary work on the Centennial has been done, the committees have their work well in hand and It only remains to find what the financial resources are to be. Should council vote the $5,000 asked, this with what could be raised by ,the Ways and Means Committee of the Association would provide for a highly credname ceieDrauon; one mat would Sve Richmond more beneficial adverwsms mn " nan ever naa Deiore IOr I A 1 I 11 1 A. a m . m a single eveni.
