1t was disappointing affair
neither good enough to be interesting

leaning back in his seat. smothered
several yawns and then dozed inter-

Suddenly he sat up, wide awake.
Rosalind was on the stage, and some

intonation OF her voice He was aware
of tightening at his throat and a

The door was opened, and Rosalind
stood before them.

was almost sob.
DaZcd, embarrassed, he entered the
dressing room and sat down on a
trunk.
In heavens name he began.
"Don't-please don't ask me about

Overton rose, his face very grave.

POLITICS IN CUBA .
ARE getting WARM
SERIOUS TROUBLE FEARED BE.
TWEEN THE FACTIONS.
A Declaration by Candidate Gomez
That Is Looked Upon as
lncendiary.

Havana, Cuba, Aug. 13.-The feeling
over politics in Cuba is becoming more
and more warm daily, and serious
trouble is feared between the adher-
ents of President Palma and the pres
idential candidate, Jose Miguel Co
mez. The latter candidate has by re-
cent declaration removed from his ad-
herents a few conservatives who be-
lieved in him, but the radical element
of the country are rallying about him
in way that is suggestive, If not
alarming.
The declaration which has lowered
Candidate Gomez in the eyes of all
conservatives are in the main as fol-
lows: IF the supreme court, which
now has charge of the case against the
acting governor of Santa Clara pro-
vince, should decide contrary to the
legal standard which we maintain, we
would not obey the supreme court be-
cause of its partiality in favor of the
executive power and against the laws
which We support would be demon
strated. Governments have two ways
of winning-either by popular will
and if our executive power had that on
its side it would not be finding it nee
essary to use violent and reprehensible
means; or by force of bayonets, i'm
posing itself upon the people, and our
republic has not this resource. The
rural guards number 5000. Sixty per
cent of this force are ours, but even If
they were not these 5000 soldiers
would not suffice (this has been shown
by experience) to put Down a single
district"
Senator Alfredo Zayas, the liberals
vice presidential candidate, and one of
the most powerful leaders III the Gu
ban senate, states unequivocally that
he approves the incendiary utterances
of Gen. Gomez
More or less trouble is considered as
unavoidable, sooner or later, in nearly
all the towns where political rallies are
held Both parties hold meetings on
the same evening, resulting in towns
being filled with hundreds of armed
men, and probably it is only a ques-
ton of time when the first shot will be
fired.
At Ciego de Avila several hundred
men attended both rallies in the even
ing. The liberal rally concluding first,
liberals gathered outside the building
occupied by the moderates and tried
by shouting and shooting of revolvers
in the air to break up the meeting.
The demonstration became so riotous
that rural guards were called to dis
perse the crowd.
The report is current that a New
York syndicate has purchased the ia
nous Gomez block for a million dol
lars, upon which an immense hotel
will be built for winter tourist trade.
The site is in the center of the city
opposite Havana's beautiful central
park and within block of all the the
aters.
