Annulled.

BY Special Leased Wire to New Mexicanl
Havana, Jan. 1S.-The reply Of the
Cuban government to Secretary Knox
iutimating that the United States gov
eminent might be compelled to inter
Vene in Cuban affairs, probably will
be made today.
An official statement was given out
today regarding the conference held
last night at the palace between
President Gomez and representatives
Of all the political factions and the
veterans. The statement follows:
The meeting terminated with every
one breathing words of patriotism, a
fact which filled the President with
optimism because he found in his old
companions in arms and in all the
others present a firm determination to
save the republic, as might be expect
ed from those protesting their love
for the Cuban fatherland."
Details of the terms of agreement
reached at the conference have not
been given out and possibly they will
be the subject of further conference.
1t is probable that one of the first
actions to be taken will be the pass
age by Congress of an act reyoking
the annullment of the civil service
law, thus putting an end TO the per-
nicious attempts Of the veterans to
divide the Cubans into classes con
tiary to the constitution.

Immediately President Taft's arbitra-

arbitration of any traditional question
Of American policy; such as the Mon

ton.
Ratification of the treaties, Senator

cause of arbitration such an impetus
that like treaties would soon be made

Of Ohio, having returned to his home
last night, the banquet which was to
have been the feature of the get to-

Of disappointment.
1t had been expected Governor Har-
mon and Bryan would meet here.
Last night, message was received
from him, dated Jacksonville, Fla,
expressing his regrets at being un-
able to come and urging the Demo
Gratis TO exert themselves FOR the
party's success.
The prospects for this fall are
very encouraging said Mr.. Bryan in
his message, but so much depends on
the record made by Congress and
the action of the national convention
that it bebooves every Democrat to
exert himself to the utmost to
strengthen the party's hold on public
confidence. The allied forces of pre-
datory wealth were never more ac-
tive. We cannot afford to compromise
with Wall street."
Despite the absence of men of ma
tional prominence there was big
attendance and enthusiasm ran high.
The Democrats freely declared that
Governor Harmon had made a good
impression while here.
According to the statement of c..
G.. Heiffner, of Seattle, campaign
manager for Woodrow Wilson, in the
west, the support of Governor Wilson
by Harpers Weekly was personal on
the part Of Colonel Harvey and sub
jected him to criticism by the maya
zines owners. Mr.. Heiffner also de-
clared that Governor Wilson was of
the opinion that it would indicate
support from ]. P. Morgan, and the
suggestion was made to Colonel Har-
vey that his support hurt more than
it helped.
