WAR ON CUBAN PACT
American Reciprocity Treaty Rouses
 Business Interests of Britain

London, Jan. 27.-The reciprocity treaty between Cuba and the United States threatens to raise one Of the most serious differences of opinion between Great Britain and the United States that has occurred for years. So much importance is attached to the matter that a meeting of the cab inet is being specially summoned to see what action can be taken. There is, of course, no alarmist feeling as to any possible straining of diplomatic relations, but Great Britain's entire commercial policy is believed to be vitally concerned.
 The matter came to a head through the deputation from the chambers of commerce of the united kingdom which waited upon Foreign Secretary Landsowne yesterday. It included several members of parliament and represented the most powerful busi- ness interests from all the British in- dustrial centers.
 Replying to the delegates argument that all the advantages which the government has gained by securing the abolition of the sugar bounties would be sacrificed if the Cuban reef procity treaty became operative Lord Landsowne said he thoroughly realized the gravity of the situation and proceeded to read dispatches showing that Ambassador Herbert had for-efully represented the British objections to the treaty, pointing out that it was to all inteDts and purposes a discrimination against all the Brit ish possessions in the West Indies Secretary Hays reply maintained that the United States was doing nc more than it had the right to do and intimated that it had no intention of modifying the Cuban treaty.
 Lord Landsowne added that all the information available pointed to tho fact that the treaty would pats. but he announced that the cabinet would consider if anything further could be done.
 The delegates said they understood that the treaty contains a secret clause stipulating that no further measures of reciprocity shall be un dertaken by the United States toward the British West Indies. If such was the case. it was suggested to Lord Lansdowne that Great Britain would be only within her rights in retaliat ing with an increased duty on grain The foreign secretary gave no inti nation on this point which. appar ently. was only suggested in the hope that some of the members of the cab inet who are reported to be strongly in favor of more protectionist policy might use it as a handle to forward their views.

CANANEA BULL
 FIGHTS SUNDAY
ANIMALS THROAT CUT TO SUP,
 PLY DEMAND FOR CORE
Great Day at the Copper Camp, Which Was Passed With Sports of Blood
 less Nature for the Most Part
Special Correspondence.)

Especial Correspondence) i Cananea, Mex, Jan. 26-Yesterday
 was great day for the Mexicans of
 Cananea. There were bull fights and
 cock fights galore. The muy volientes
 hombres leased, the muy arrogantes
 toros while the muy elegantes senoras looked on and smiled. Of course, all
 the bulls had half their horns cut of ! before they entered the ring, because ] there was no harm in them anyway. 1 As the crowd had previously been promised the magnificent spectacle of
 at least one dying bull, one bull had his throat cut with a butcher knife. This bull afforded the chief sport of
 the great and noble entertainment since it took the combined energies | of all the ring attendants to catch him. When the bulls throat was cut the crowd set up a cheer that must
 have made the ferocious animals heart grow sick in spite Of the fun. At the cock pit score of warlike l Iroosters made sport for the blooded aristocracy of the Bad Lands. In or der that there might not be any un- due exhibition of blood; the cocks had their spurs drawn and teeth pulled be- fore they entered the arena While the roosters would not fight the sportsmanlike spectators received the worth of their money in the language which the birds used during their al tercation. Besides the spectators made use Of some language them selves and there was no extra charge for this.
 Mr. Ed Florence, a well known miner Of Prescott, arrived here yes terday.

 Two reporters of the Herald of this place have gone to Arizpe to find ma terial for the special edition of that paper.

FOOT BALL BOYS
 HAVE PRACTICE
TEN OLD PLAYERS WERE OUT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Practice Ground West of czar Shaft Will Be Used-Meet Again This
 Afternoon at the Same Place

Afternoon at the Same Place
 After several weeks planning and urging the football team got out yes terday afternoon at o'clock for light practice. Ten Of the old players put in about an hour with the pigskin on the vacant lot west of the Czar shaft.
 None of the boys had suits, and nothing more could be done than pass ing and kicking the ball Several of the players showed much more vim in their work than was expected at the first turnout. All of them played with snap and ginger, which if kept up will put the team in fair condition by Washington's birthday.
 Captain Billy Swan had the boys put in twenty minutes kicking the bal from one to the other. After this they formed in a circle, and practiced throwing and catching the ball. The way the pigskin was handled proves that those who were out yesterday have played at some time in the past.
 When the players were well warm ed to their work. they were lined up with James Harrington at center and Malley and Fitz at guard. Gray and Swan got on the other side and gave the practice the appearance of real play. No attempt at rough hard work was made, owing to the ground being too hard to permit of tackling or fall ing on the ball.
 This afternoon at f o'clock the team will practice again at the same place. Those who were out yesterday will be on hand in addition to several other men, who are anxious to play on the team
 The sweeping challenge of Fort Huachuca, which offers to wager $50 that they can keep Bisbee from SCOT ing in game. has reused the boys. and they are now determined to show the soldiers that playing football is not confined to military posts
 Captain Swan stated after the prac- uce yesterday afternoon that he is well pleased with the way things have started. He will now get the boys down to business and keep them there until after Huachuca is played. Man aser Sowle expects to have suits for the team inside Of a week.
