Impatient Over Delay in With

New York. Feb. 1S.-A dispatch to

the United States if it does not get out
of Cuba are now being made by the
leaders of the Liberal party, to whom
everything has been given by the

Unsuitable and impatient over the de-
lay of the American withdrawal,

The leaders, the dispatch says, re-
sent the suggestion of the conserva-

tectorate might be a surer guarantee
of peace than the unbridied evil of
any Cuban faction.
The dispatch quotes an article by

rate must be struck down and that if
annexation or a protectorate come war
will follow.

ONE SENATOR SORRY.
Hamme of Chase Would Let Star
Reporter Back In.

. Senator J. NJ. Hamme, of Chase coun-
ty, stated today that he regretted that
his vote was recorded as favoring the
expulsion of the Kansas City Star COR
respondent. The senator said that he
had just stepped into the senate cham
Der as the question was being voted
upon and did not catch the import of
the question.
He further stated that he felt that
the senate was a body of lawmake
whose duties were of public nature
and that the public was entitled to all
information. which could only be dis
seminated through the press.
Senator Hamme concluded with the
remark that he felt that the senate had
done the Star an injustice and that he
would introduce resolution to the eff
feet that the correspondent of the Star
be reirstated to the senate chamber
privileges.
