SAID IN SIGNED ARTICLE

LONDON. July 15-The Duke of Ar
gylI has stirred up no little uneasiness
in England by his statement that TO
maintain her position as world power
and to put up a successful defense In
case of an attack. Great Britain must
adopt general CONSUMPTION.
In recent signed article he says that
religion and world prudence demand
some self-sacrifice on the part of the
nation, and the compulsory military ser
vice is the only way to meet the neces-
stiles of the times. He does not agree
with the view that an enemy would be
incapable Of landing more than a small
force on cur shores, and asks what
army we nave to rely upon in case our
feet should fail to hold its own.
1t would De simply wanton cruelty. he

German Socialist Leader Declares Against
His Country Being Forced Into Con-

PARIS, July I5.-In Il Paris paper NJ.
Bebel- the German socialist leader, has
written an article which is sure TO
incur the GiSpleasure OF the Kaiser.
Speaking of the war between Germany
and France, which was so narrowly
averted a couple OF weeks ago, he says:
THE duties OF the socialists in case
of war cannot be- defined in one SEN
tence. We are still in minority in all
the parliament OF Europe and the for
eien politics of the countries are settled
over our heads, but ii is our plain duty
to endeavor to lead them in the Iig.lt
direction as far as ii lies within our
power
If a war breaks out, against our will
and wishes, we must look deeply and
conscientiously into the causes. If the
government of our own country be The
aggressor, we should vote against all
war appropriations and oppose the gov
ernmen1 with all legal means.
If on the other side, our government
be forced into a war, If we are attacked,
we must not refuse it our assistance,
for in war the government suffers the
least: the people the most.
IF the war be one of conquest as was
our war with France in 1870 after the
battle of Sedan. II is the plain duty of

COPENHAGEN. July 15.-The attacks
on the Danish royal family which nave

Among these were several ministers,
who attended the meetings in search of
material for sermons against theosophy,
but instead. were won over by the eIo-

MAYOR PLAYED

Nunez Expected O'Farrill to
Support Him.
POLITICS WORKED IN CUBA
Executive of Havana Finally Suspended
by Former Friend, Who Rules
the Province

HAVANA. July 15.-Contrary to what
had been expected. the suspension of
Mayor OFarriil. of Havana, by Gen.
Emilio Nunez, civil governor of the prov
ince OF Havana, continues, and back of
the suspension there IS an Interesting
story.
Mayor Ramon O'Farrill and General
Nunez belong to the national party,
and had been until now on the most in
innate terms. About two years ago
Mayor O'Farrill was accused of some
irregularities in the administration Of
the affairs Of the city of Havana. and
proceedings against him were begun at
once with the result that the charges
were found to be correct and the mayor
was convicted. The signature Of the
governor of the province only was
needed to displace the mayor and place
him under the Jurisdiction of the erdi-
nary courts.
Nunez Needed Time
intimate terms of friendship with O'Far-
rill, took all the papers and documents
of the case. and declaring he needed
time to make a careful examination Of
them. kept them until now.
BY this action OF Governor NuneZ.
Mayor O'Farrill found himself com
pletely at the mercy of his superior,
and practically under the obligation of
obeying him implicitly.
When a few months ago the moderate
party chose Senor Estrada Palma as
its candidate for the Presidency Of the
republic, General NuneL endeaVored 10
receive similar distinction from the ma
tionaiS. and, OF course. he felt sure that
Mayor O'Farrill would be one OF his
strongest supporters
Blu. the mayor of Havana declared
himself IN favor Of zen. Jose Miguel
Gomez, the governor or Santa Clara A
great majority of the nationalist element
voted with him, and General Nunez was
defeated.
