CONSUL-GENERAL WILLIAMS HARASSED.
HIS RESIGNATION SAID TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED
By THE ANNOYANCEs TO WHICH lie WAS
SUBJECTED IN HAVANA
Washington. March tSpecial)-Although no ad-
missions the fact made at the State
partment there Is ason for the belief that Ramon
O. Williams has resigned the office OF United States
Consul General at Havana. The stories from
Havana announcing Mr.. Wams's resignation at
tribute his action TO the annoyances resulting from
the treatment OF Americans in Cuba since the out
break OF the present Instruction 1t is further said
that he was much disp,eased with the action OF the
Spanish authorities IN the case OF Charles Michel
son. an American newspaper correspondent. The
Spanish Government released the prisoner act
OF apparent courtesy TO the Consul General whereas
the latter held that II should have been done
tirely as a matter Of equity and right.
1t is no secret that Consu-General Williams
course of action has been altogether satisfactory
10 the Spanish authorities. He has been suspected
of favorng the cause Of the Cubans. and in several
notable instances he has thwarted the Colonial
authorities In their efforts to put naturalized
American citizens. suspected Of aiding the insur-
gents out Of the way by summary military pro-
ceedings He has invariably demanded that all
such cases be tried by the civil courts and not by
military Tribunals. and has usually gained his
point not always. however without display OF
bad temper on the part OF the Spaniards. Because
of these differences. which are said to have been
made the basis Of charges against him. he has
twice before placed his resignation at the disposal
of the Secretary OF State His course met the APP
prevail of the Department, however. and he has
been continued In office.
Mr. Williams has held his office for the last
twenty years and Is regarded as one OF the most
efficient officers In the service Many mercnahts
doing business in Cuba have contended that his
retention was essential to the maintenance OF
American dignity and honor there. he is man OF
independcnt fortune and is getting along in years

THE ONLY MYSTERY
ABOUT A WATCH

is in the marvellous instruments of precision
used in its construction. Pocket
timepieces are not called upon to produce
anything, like looms and sewing machines,
or furnish or transmit power, like steam
engines or dynamos. All that is asked OF
them is to run their allotted number OF
hours with extreme regularity, measuring
the last hour of the twenty-four with
exactly the same number of minutes and
seconds as the first, through all changes
of temperature or varying positions.
The secret of success here is sim
plicity and absolute accuracy. These
have been made possible by the Waltham
model, the wonderful machinery at
Waltham and the skilled American
mechanics there. Such combination
of perfect watch and reasonable
price has never before been possible in
the history of matchmaking.
Ask to see the name "Rs1exsade"
or "Royal" engraved on the plates,
and always "Waktham."
