PATRONAGE IS CAUSE
 OF BIG ROW IN CUBA

Havana, Jan. 30-Cuba's entire se- cret service force resigned this morn ing as the result of a quarrel between President Gomez and Vice-President Zayas who cannot agree concerning the appointment of a chief for the de- partment. For several days the pres ident and the vice-president have been endeavoring to arrive at an agreement concerning the appoint ment and the dispute has assumed the proportions of a serious quarrel.
 The exact detail precipitating the action of the members of the depart ment is not public knowledge. The men who resigned declare that they will n ot rctarn to their duties until a settlement of the present difficulty is reached.

Twenty-four years is long time for ship to be away from it's home port, but that is the record of a whal- ing bark that has just docked in New Bedford. The vessel left New Bed ford in 1884 for a voyage around Cape Horn and since has been engaged most of the time whaling in northern attitudes. The ship brings news that the whaling ships in the Atlantic are generally making heavy catches this season. The whaling business seems to have experienced a revival, and with this New Bedford is developing new importance which presents some likeness to it's old-time activities as a whaling port.-Springfield Union,

When the members of the La
Dell Concert company arrived at
the depot yesterday morning they
were met by r. C. Balaam who
had IA previous acquaintance with
the company couple of years ago
in California. Miss LABEL did not
at first recognize Mr.. Balaam and
began introducing the other MEM
bers of the company as Mr.. Fox,
Miss Crawford. etc. as the names
are printed on the programs which
the company carry with them.
But Mr.. BaIaam knew the differ
ence and the laugh was ON Miss
LaIaell who was the only member
of the original company present.
Mr.. Fox was taken sick before the
company started on the present
tour and Mr.. Brown was selected
to take his place. Miss Corbett
was also substituted for Miss Craw-
ford and the pianist, too, was diff
ferent. The merits of the per.
formance, however, lost nothing by
the change and the management
has every reason for congratulation
on the personnel of the company.
Attention is called to the full
page al in this paper announcing
the opening of the Toltec project
at Antonito. Nov. 4, with which
the readers Of this paper are per-
haps familiar. Antonito is making
great preparations to entertain a
large number of visitors and the
project is decidedly the,most inter
esting ever launched in the south
west. The proposition has been
tackled several times on account
of it's attractiveness by eastern
people whose identity has been
lost. They obtained appropria-
tions of water from the Conejos
and San Antonio rivers and after
spending about 100000 on canals
and reservoirs went broke. They
we're ahead of their time as many
others have been with similar pro-
iects in this valley. They saw the
possibilities but the time was not
ripe for their evolution. Fortu-
nately they did their work well and
