ALL QUIET IN HAVANA.
THIS is THE TENOR OF ALI. THE DISPATCHES
RECEIVED IN WASHINGTON.


Washington. Jan ls-Such Information the
State Department has received TO the situation
in Havana is confirmatory OF the unofficial dis
patches and shows that quiet regns in the city and
that the impression OF the officials here that the
rtotous spirit had either exhausted itself for the
time being had been completely suppressed by the
strong hand OF authority IS justified The situation
was briefly alluded TO IN the Cabinet meeting to-
day. and was not regarded warranting any
change in the attitude OF our Government.
Minister De LONE has written 10 the State De
partrnent denying the truth OF the report thai tho
customs officers OF Havana have thrown obstacles
in the way OF landing the supplies sent from the
United States for the Cuban sufferers. The State
Department Is satisfied that. regardless OF any df
hculty tina, may have been experienced. there will
be no trouble from now in promptly placing in
General Lees possession for immediate distribution
any supplies THAI reach Havana harbor In the regu
lar manner.
At o'clock this afternoon Consul-General Lee
cabed from Havana that all was quiet there.

grams:

THE PROGRESS AMERICAN TRADE IS MAKING

Washington Jan. ls.-The clearest exposition Of
the real extent OF American competition In Europe
that has been presented officially probably Is
that given In a report TO the State Department from
Frank Mason United States Consul-General at
Frankfort, and published In The Daily Consular
Reports" MIR Mason treats the subject broadly
but naturally he finds the main points for his theme
directly under his own observation In Germany
whore the struggle Is now most bitter. He recounts
the various plans that have been considered and
Others that are now before European governments
looking to cooperation In resistance TO the encroach-
ments OF American trade and enterprise on Euro
pean markets. 1t is manifest that America has
been making inroads In Europe beyond the com
mon knowledge. Mr. Mason points out some lines
IN which this country has overwhelmed opposition
and SAYS that in spite of the teachings OF European
economists IN those lines the sceptre of economical
production with highest wages has passed from
the Old World to the New. Shoes. steel and iron
in various forms mining and electrical MACHINERY.
