ford, who will deliver it to the. Spanish
government
| At the cabinet meeting yesterday the
general feature OF tie ultimatum we're
agreed upon and there remained for this
morning only the making Of q fair copy
for the presidents signature. The orig
inal draft was made by Judge Day and
the revised copy, which was made today
under his direction, was laid before the
president about 1920. There were pres
ent In the cabinet room where tue presi-
dent signed the resolution, Secretary AL.
ger, Attorney General Griggs, Secretary
Bliss, Secretary Elkins and Charles En-.
cry Smith.
The signing Of the Cuban resolutions
by the president was an exceedingly in
teresting event, although without special
incident. Although the text of the ulti-
matum was not made public, it was
known that with it is transmitted to the
Spanish government, through Minister
Woodford, copy of the joint resolution
OF congress, together with the statement
that they have received executive appro
val.
In compliance with their terms the
president makes the demand upon Spain
to withdraw her land and naval forces
from the island and Its waters, and in
the event of satisfactory response is not
received by Saturday next, lie will pro.
coed, with the armed forces Of the Uni.
ted States, to carry the resolution into
effect.
The president does not name any hour
Of Saturday prior to which Spain must
make answer, II at all, to our demands,
but the reasonable assumption is that
any time up to midnight OF Saturday will
be regarded as compliance With the terms
Of the ultimatnm.
From this time forward war prepara.
uons Will go forward with renewed ac-
tigity and both the army and the navy
will be put into position for active opera
tions.
There seems to be little doubt that the
first move will be to blockade one or more
Of the Cuban ports and as soon as an
army Of occupation can be transported to
them, demand will be made for uncondi-
tional surrender, and, In event Of refusal,
the work OF reducing them by lombard
ing will bs cegun immediately
Il Is not thought the assembling Of na.
val forces will be delayed even for day
and It is not likely that important move.

FELL THROUGH CLASS.
Strange Accident on BroodWoy for Wbich No Author Can Be
 Found.

OAKLAND, Jan. 1.-Somebody must be walking around with some very bad cuts, or else that unseen guardian that is supposed to hover around a human being under certain conditions must have been particularly alive to his re- sponsibility very early this morning.
 Before the New Year was ten min utes old, large. heavy plate-glass in clothing store at Eleventh and Broadway was broken in. The hole made was big enough for a man to walk through, but whoever caused it made his escape before he could be caught. It was not the burglar who took the gold coin from a store window on Washington street a few days ago, because there was no such temptation in sight and nothing was taken. Just before the crash a couple of men who had evidently been breaking good reso- lutions, were seen near the window, and there is no doubt that one or both of them fell against and through it.
 No one applied at the Receiving Hos pital for treatment, and it is won der to the police how such an accident could have occurred without someone being seriously injured.

POLICE PROTECTION
 FOR BERKELEY
North Berkeley Residents Deter mined to Drive Out
 Burglars.
Town Trustees Will Be Asked to Go. operate With the
 Citizens.

BERKELEY, Jan 1.-The citizens of Berkeley are at last determined to seek better protection from burglary and robbery. Much talk has been occasion ed by the large number of recent hold ups and .burglaries of the need of bet ter police service, but up to the present time no suitable plan could be agreed upon.
 North Berkeley residents, however are aroused and are resolved that something shall be done. Last Tues day night, at a meeting of the North Berkeley Improvement Club, com mittee composed of August l.. Ott chairman; Henry Lampe and Edward Florence was appointed to draw UT some plan and report at the meeting to be held next Tuesday night.
 What they propose is that the town employ watchmen in every ward in Berkeley, the watchmen to be paid partly by the town and partly by sub- scriptiOns of the citizens. They be- lieve that if this arrangement were to be carried out Berkeley would soon be rid of her tough characters.
 MT. Florence, when seen to-day, said "The town should afford protection to it's citizens, but if they do not take suitable action the citizens themselves must do something. The committee has not yet consulted with the Town Trus- tees, and we do not know what will ul- .timately be done. Our policy will be controlled by their action. If they re- fuse to enter upon any plan then we will work by ourselves"
