CLASH IS EXPECTED.
There May Yet BE Serious Trouble
Tn Cr1,

There May Yet BE Serious Trouble
in Cuba.
Havana, March IL. = The Cuban as
sembly will to-day issue a manifesto
declaring that it is the only representa-
tive body in Cuba; that Gen. Gomez is
attempting, with the aid of the United
States. to make himself distator, and
that, as general proposition, the
United States has no right to interfere
with the domestic affairs of the island.
This is the last development in the sit
uation. The feeling is that the presi-
dents decision to suppress the assem-
bly, will lead to conflict between the
American administration and the Gu
bans in arms.

Passengers Removed From a Snow-
Bound Train.
Cheyenne, Wyo., March II. - The
train that has been snow-bound on the
Cheyenne & Northern railway for the
past three weeks has been abandoned.
The passengers were taken in wagons
from Altus to Horse Greek station,
where they were transferred to train
and brought to Cheyenne. During the
time the train was showed in the pas
sengers and crew did their own cook
ing and lived in the cars. The food
supply ran short several times but
there was no actual suffering. A num-
Der of relief trains were sent to the
rescue but they failed to get through
the drifts Of snow and ice which are
ten to twenty feet deep, and are now
blockaded at different points along the
road.

THE. CHURCH IN CUBA.

Archbishop Chappelle Holds n Con.
ference With Gen. Brooke.
Havana, March II. - Archbishop
Chappelle, the apostolic delegate to the
West Indies, discussed with Gen.
Brooke yesterday the situation of the
Roman Catholic church in Cuba. He
asks nothing except that the church be
allowed to retain it's property, jurisdic-
ton and rights as a corporation under
the Spanish law. 10 this Gen. Brooke
sees no objection, though there are
some titles in dispute that may have to
come before the courts. The church
will continue to control the cemeteries,
and in cases where these have been
taken by the municipalities the latter
will be ordered to give them back.

Trusts will receive the chief at
tention Of the New Jersey legis-
lature. The bill to prohibit and
punish monopolies is probably the
most reasonable measure ever aimed
at trusts, which it clearly defines. The
punishments prescribed are fines Of
from $50 to $4,000 and Imprisonment of
from six months to a year. or both.
Each days connection, however re-
mote, with the prescribed monopolies
is to be considered separate offense
and separately punished. The passage
of a reasonable anti-monopoly bill
would be more surprising in New Jer-
sey that anywhere else, for that state
has for a number OF years been the
breeding ground Of trusts.

1--WE are officially authorized to say
that the president Of the United States
will not officially recognize any obliga-
ticns contracted by the body called the

Great Britain has been the leading
commercial nation of the world. The

the matter of accumulating dollars and

cannot control or monopolize the trade
of the world she proposes to pull the
strings so as to handle the one who
does.
