TAFT IS DISPATCHED
 TO SEAT OF POSSIBILITIES

ard for cubans the issues with which we have joined.
 There has come a time in the his- tory of this republic when the only way to secure n permanent and righte- GUS peace, safe in guaranteed consti- tutional liberties. is by war
 Under the empty name of a repub- lic. the shackles of the overthrown Spanish dominion have again been im- posed upon us. Our constitution has been cast aside with contemptuous ego- tisma the royal laws of the ancient regime have been revived, and issued to us with the very forms and words of the royal Spanish decree Absolutism was again fastening itself upon Cuba and in the more dangerous guise and formulas of republican system that was but the shell of democratic ideals.
 "It has become necessary to resort to arms--not for war. if it can possi- bly be avoided. but as a demonstration before the court of last resort that the spirit that for a century has fought against royal oppression still endures and will suffer again the hardships of campaigns rather than yield the fruits of hard won liberties By a vast major Ity Cuba is with us.
 If the present administration in Havana so chooses if will be war no longer.
 Shall we be tricked by commission CTS from Palma into an armistice whose authority and validity he then denies?
 'The intervention of the United States we do not wish. This is our own cu- ban question: a question of our right and liberties that we ourselves must settle And in considering the question. we ask consideration of the fact that 1t is one fraught with more consequence to Cuba than of monetary commercial loss or gain
 "The rights and properties of Ameri- cans will be respected by our forces.
 That all in Cuba will suffer as the result of the depression due to war Is unfortunate and inevitable. but 1t is Cubans. our countrymen. who will suf- fer most. and with their patriotism. they are gladly accepting the sacri- flee. for out of it will emerge the flrm- CT rights and absolute liberties of real constitutional government.
 "To those Americans who believe In the liberties of all peoples and that right and justice should triumph, even over peace. we present our cause and ask their sympathy.

BRUTUS' ADDRESS
MODEL0F F0RATORY
WARDE PRAISES SHAKESPEARE
IN RECITAL
The "Romans, countrymen, Lovers
, Speech Declared to Be a Gem
of the immortal
Bard

Romans, countrymen and loversl
hear me for my cause; and be silent,
that you may hear; believe me for mine
honor, and have respect to mine honor,
that you may believe; censure me in
your wisdom, and awake your senses,
that you may the better judge. If
there be any in this assembly, any dear
friends of Caesars, to him L say that
Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than
his. If then that friend demand why
Brutus rose against Caesar this is my
answer-not that l loved Caesar less,
but that L loved Rome more"
This address of Brutus to my mind
is absolutely the model of oratory,'
said Frederick Warde last evening
Mark you, do not say oration. L Will
leave that for the commencement and
not for the world would rob the gradu-
ate of that privilege. Brutus chose the
simplest of words; goes direct to the
point and arrives at conclusions simple
and direct"
Frederick Warde gave a subperb re-
cital of Julius Caesar" last evening
at Dobinson hall, as the fourth event in
the series of Shakespearian plays given
under the auspices Of the Mems club Of
Christ church. The actor-lecturer, as
Is his wont, brought the facts of the

"ToUCHSToNE is RIGHT"
Warde Likes His Truism About the
Fool and the Wise Man

"The fool thinketh himself a wise
man, but the wise man knoweth that
he Is a fool.''
IF L were to take a theme it would
be these words of 'Touchstone' said
Frederick Warde yesterday afternoon
in his lecture on "The Wit and Wisdom
of Shakespeare's Fools"
Those who are familiar with medieval
history and romance will remember
that in houses of the great the fool
was an important fector," said the
speaker" He enjoyed privileges greater
than members of the family, statesmen
or ministers. His influence was often
greater than that Of the ministers
themselves and the fool was permitted
to express his wit, sarcasm and jest
with the best, and woe to that courtier
who incurred his displeasure.
"It can be understood that for man
to take up such a part both required
wide knowledge and discretion to
know when to speak and how much to
say, and man to have those qualifica-
tions must indeed be a wise man. 1t
does not follow that a Jester was
always a gentleman, but instances have
been known when gentlemen did take
up the work of a jester
II think Shakespeare must have seen
the very people he gives us-saw the
prototypes, and I believe Hamlet him
self was carried on the back of some
village clown. From nature, and ma
ture absolutely, did Shakespeare gain
his inspiration and knowledge.
Shakespeare is not all serious, yet
there is no comedy but where there is
a lurking wisdom. Shakespeare was
an actor and he knew what was needed
in q play. If he had intended to be
deep and obscure and reserved for
students I don't believe he would have
given us plays, but epic poems or mar
ratives.
Read Shakespeare first for the story.
You ladies can turn to the last page
and see If they live happily ever after
just as we'll as not. Then read Shake
speare a second time for the poetry
and again for the philosophy, and when
you have read 1t three times you will
want to read it again and again. and
every time new gems will be opened TO
you. There Is not condition of life
that Shakespeare does not reach, and
you will always find 1t an inspiration,
as have found 1t.
Don't try to give hidden meanings
to the characters. but just the simple
meaning, and you will have no diff
culties. Poets are above punctuation,
so leave that to proofreaders-it is
their business. Be satisfied with the
flowers on the surface and leave the
deeper gems in the mine to be found by
those who dig for them"

MINOR DAMAGE SWELLS TO $500;
COW CASE DRAGS In COURTS

The parties to the suit were on

this Judgment, the defendant appealed
the case to the superior court and
