GOMEZ A DIPLOMAT
PRESIDENT OF CUBA CHECKED
THREATENED RACE CONFLICT
BY PERSONAL EFFORTS.
Trouble Grew Out of Refusal Of the
Management of Principal Hotels
Of Havana to Entertain
Negro Leaders.

Havana.-Fears of a race conflict,
growing out of the recent disorders
resulting from the refusal of the man
Ggement of the principal hotel in Ha-
vana to entertain negroes, have, in a
great measure, abated, possibilities of
further trouble having PRACTICAL dis
appeared.
For few days the situation was
threatening. and there was a strong
undercurrent of indignation among ne
groes, which, 1t was feared, might not
be kept in check.
That it not only was restrained, but
the difficulty for the present was sue
cessfully smoothed over, is mainly due
to personal efforts of President Gomez.
The president sent his secretary to
confer with the management of the
hotel, and summoned to the place Gen
eral Cebreco and other negro leaders,
He pointed out that the intrusion of
negroes where their presence was not
desired, was undignified and merely
served to rouse the animosity of Amer
leans with whom 1t was highly desir-
able that all Cubans remain on the
most friendly terms. He also remind
ed the negro leaders how much the
prosperity of the city of Havana was
dependent upon the number of Ameri-
can tourists, whom any danger of So
cial disorders would deter from com
ing
