New York, Dec. PA special from OF
tawa, Ontario, says;
When the first Canadian battalion was
sent to South Africa strong protests
against giving military aid to Great Brit
ain came from the majority of Premier
Laurier's following in Quebec. Rebellion
among his French supporters was only
quelled by the assurances that the Cana
dams would be paid by Great Britain and
that no more contingents would be fur
nished The offer and acceptance Of a SET
ond battalion has caused open revolt.
Francis Bouiassa, the liberal member for
St. Johns, Quebec, has resigned his seat
in parliament in protest and others are
likely to follow.
ID. Monet, the liberal member for La
Prairie, Quebec, has just written to La
Patrie, the French liberal organ in Mont
real, protesting against sending a second
Canadian contingent and declaring his in
tention of voting against Laurier on that
question.

Cubans Satisfied.

Havana, Dec. 26.-The events of the last
few days have had great effect on Cuban
politics. The circumstances attending the
arrival of Gen. Wood and the departure
OF Gen. Brooke, taken with the speech at
the formal farewell banquet to the latter,
in which the intentions of the United
States government We're restated, have sat
isfied the Cubans that Cuba will certainly
be independent within a reasonable time.
More than this, the arrival and public ut.
terances of Horatio Rubens have increased
the restful feeling that now apparently ex-
lists among all classes. Mr.. Rubens has,
without doubt, considerable influence.
Wherever he goes he is cheered by the
people; his room at the hotel is thronged
with Cuban officials seeking an interview,
and altogether he is regarded somewhat in
the light of an oracle.

what had been written to me was true I immediately put the police on track of the woman and she was sent out of town. Joe soon found that she had gone to Montgom- cry and on Sundays he would slip off and go down there and stay with her for two or three days. I then had some of his friends to try to influence and persuade This had no effect however. He told them that he was in love with Rosa Briggs and he was going with her wherever she went. The woman soon came back to Birmingham and I received another anonymous letter telling me she was at Fritchmann's garden and that Joe could be found there with her The police department detailed a man to go out there and put her under arrest. She was taken to Madame Barfield's and the officers allowed Mrs. Barfeld to put up $25 as aforfeit and keep the woman out of jail provided that she would not let Joe Zinszer see her. He soon reached the house, however. and offered the twenty-five dollars to Mrs. Garfield if she would let him be with her. He insisted so strongly that a row started and the police had to be called in. Joe was arrested and placed un- der bond He was fined SEQ. During all this time I was doing everything possible to get Zinszer back to his wife. but to no avail Lorena was very i'll and longed for Joe to be with her. At night I have heard her sobbing in her room, but never word of complaint would she say to us.

He also stated that Zinszer had taken the woman to Pensacola with him ad intro- duced her as his wife, when the writer knew that Zinszers real wife was at home sick in bed.
 About this time a baby was born, but this seemed to have no effect upon Zinszer. He still staid away from home. and though his wife pleaded with him to stay with her and the baby he refused and continued on his wild course. In the meantime I had been Investigating and found that what

DOZIERS ASSAULT
 JOSEPH ZINSZER Matrimonial Troubles Culminate in a
 Family R5W. YOUNG GIRL WIFE AND BABY Alleged They Were Deserted for Woman
 of the Town. FATHER AND SONS REvENGEFUL Husband Visits Parental Roof and is Attacked-Wal Walking Cane and Re- volver Used No Fatal Injury
 Resulted from Affair
FATHER AND SONS REvENGEFUL

About noon yesterday a difficulty occur red at the home of pr. O. T. Dozer, in which Joseph Znszer was badly beaten by the doctor and his two sons, Byron and Nicholas. Zinszer was taken to the home of his mother, Mrs. W. H. Wilder, and Dr. Dozier and his two sons were placed under bond on warrant sworn out before Jus tice of the Peace Martin, charging them with assault and battery. Zinszer has sev- eral bad gashes in his scalp and one arm considerably bruised. It is not thought that his wounds are of dangerous nature.
 Behind the trouble at the Dozier home Is long, sad story, starting with the mar riage of a lad and lassie at the ages Of r and 16 years. After two years of happi- ness an outside woman interfered and the seeds of discord thereby sown finally ripened into yesterdays affair, when Joe Zinszer came near losing his life.
 Zinszer is a son-bn-law of Dr. Dozier, ana it is claimed by the Dozier family that he has for some time been neglecting his young wife. They say that some months ago he became infatuated with woman of the demi-monde. and has not only been away from home most of the time since. but has neglected even to provide for his wife and baby, which was born few months ago.
 Ztnszer, who has been in Dayton, O., re- turned to Birmingham yesterday and his wife sent word for him to come to see her. He compiled with request, and upon reaching the home trouble ensued. Zinszer had walked out of the house and was standing on the steps talking to his wife when Dr. Dozier and his two sons came up the walk. A few words passed between the men, when Zinszer was suddenly knocked down by a blow from a stick in the hands of Byron Dozier. In the melee that followed a revolver was fired by Eich- olas, the younger son, but his hand was knocked aside in time to prevent the shot taking effect. After Zinszer had been given a thorough pummelling friends intcrfered and the affair was stopped.
 Dr. Dozier, when asked to tell his side of the affair last night, said:
 -'.Id is a long and sad story, but that the public may know the truth of the matter I will tell it. Within the last few months I have lived life of worry and continual sorrow. If you will notice," he said, point ing to his head. my hair is rapidly turn- ing gray from this trouble.
