HAVANA, Dec 10.-On account OF the
action of the Bar Association In clecting
Senorcs Quintana, Maidagan, Guira1. and

missed from office, members Of its execu-
tive committee, General Wood has decided
to deprive the association Of its official

vision for carrying out The present Official
duties of the association.
In the future it will not be necessary
for a lawyer to belong to any association.
The Supreme Court will register lawyers
and supply the place OF the association.
II is claimed by some persons that the
action of the association was due to a
conspiracy to GUST Senior Gener from his
position of Secretary Of Justice. There is
no doubt that the motive behind the cleo
ton OF the four disgraced judges was
largely the personal luminosity toward
Senior Gener entertained by members OF
the Republican party in Havana.
1t is fact, however, that others Joined

sympathy with the Republicans. 1t Is
claimed that the judges, in view CT Cen
