OPPOSING FACTIONS
engage IN RIOTS

HAVANA, CUBA Special
Twenty-Five persons were shot,
five of them fatally, In rioting be-
tween Liberals and Conservatives
here early Friday. A battle be-
tween the opposing political forces
was fought In Central Park. kur-
ther trouble Is expected.
Over 400 shots were fired before
the rurales were able To- stop the
battle Fifty arrests were made.
During the fighting a number OF
bullets strnck the building OF the
American newspaper, the Havana
Post Several American employees
had narrow escapes.
After the battle the city was
pus under martial law.
Cavalry patrOled the streets to-
day, and no crowds were allowed
TO gather.
This Is the first disorder i'm the
political campaign that will cul-
inmate i'm the presidential election
on November 18th. The trouble
followed two political rallies, one
held by the Liberals and the other
by the Conservatives.
After the meetings two bodies of
rival political adherents met in
the streets. Some 5000 persons
had gathered and were lighting
fiercely.
The police were powerIess TO
disperSc the crowds and retired,
calling I'm the rIrales.
Each side claims that the other
started the shooting. Within n
short time after midnight shots
were being exchanged. Several
bullets were imbeddcd in the walls
of the American Club before the
battle moved out of range. The
hottest fighting was in and around
Central Park, where battle lines
were drawn.
The fighters took refuge behind
pillars and in houses and kept up
an interrupted fire.
Many Conservatives fed intJ the
political club and shot from the
windows.
Further trouble is feared today.
President Gomez today has ar
tilIery stationed i'm Central Park
and i'm the prominent plazas, and
issued a warning that the streets
will be swept with grapeshot If
further riOtinS breaks out.

SAYS PASTORS ARE AFRAID.
TO PREACH The GOSPEL

EW HAVEN Special l.-NNilliam
Lyon Phelps, head OF the English de-
partment OF Yale, scored Protestant
day. in which he said If they preached
more about the gospel ard religion and
less about politics. they would get
along better. In part, he said:
The main difficulty with the church
today Is that the people in the pews do
not have the gospel preached to them.
The hungry sheep look up and are not
fed.
The tremendous strength OF the Ro-
man Catholic Church lies in its fidelity
TO principle. In it's religious vitality
and in it's hatred OF compromise. II
| should be an object lesson to all Prot
estant ministers. They ought to learn
that the chief duty OF a preacher is to
hold forth Christianity and not dis
course on sanitation, political economy
or literature People everywhere are
spond TO 1t when il is convincingly Sc
forth. whether by men like Phillips
Brooks or men like Billy Sunday.
THE Protestant clergy are afraid t'
preach Christianity. partly because the,
do not believe In IL and partly becaus'
they are afraid IL won't draw AS
