Absolute Tranquility
ReiunS Over HAVANA

HAVANA, Jan. H.-AbSolute tranquil
ity reigns in Havana today, in spite OF
the shock by announcement in the morn
ing papers of possible Intervention by the
United States in Cuban affairs
Meagre reports received from the in
terror do not give any indications Of
trouble, but some fears are expressed IN
Havana that disturbances are likely TO
occur in the rural districts and more es-
pecially in the provinces of Oriente and
Pinar del Rio when the news becomes
more generally circulated.
The newspapers confine themselves to
the publication of the text of Secretary
Knox's note and interviews on the sub
ject with various officials. There is no
editorial comment except in FL Dia, which
expresses the opinion that no physical
Intervention is intended by the United
States, which, however. will adopt other
and efficacious means to compel comph-
ance with the laws and prevent breach
of the peace.
Commenting on Secretary Knox's note,
Gen. Freyer Andrade, former secretary
of the interior, said:
"It is a sad blow to all good Cubans,
but we must hope it will sound note Of
warning. All must join in patriotic
effort to do their utmost to save the
country"
So sudden was the action taken by the
state department at Washington that
Gen. Manuel Sanguiily, secretary Of
state, last night absolutely refused to
believe that Intervention was threatened
until some hours after Secretary Knox's
note had been presented to President
Gomez.
The meeting of the council OF the Vet
Grams association, which was called last
night, adjourned early this morning. No
line of policy was adopted at the meet
ing, which was sparsely attended, the
conservative section OF the veterans be-
ing conspicuously absent.
No hour has yet been fixed for the con-
ference between President Gomez and
leaders of the political parties and the
veterans 1t will probably take place
this afternoon.
At the opening OF the board Of trade
today the prospect Of Intervention by
the United States was regarded gener-
a44y with satisfaction, especially among
the Spanish element. Merchants al
most unanimously expressed the opln-
ion that the regulation of the affairs
of Cuba by the United States would
have the happiest effect to immediate
w stimulate business.
The conference of President Gomez
with the leaders of the political parties
and the veterans has been fixed for 9
o'clock this evening. Reports from all
parts of the island show that there is
not the least tendency to disorder.

LOS WHEN
BIG WAREHOUSE BURNS

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE seven

near the North river water front, be-
tween 9th and 18th streets, and contain
ing merchandise valued at more than
100000, was swept by fire early to-

long lines Of hose and distributed at
high pressure along the 18th avenue side

The Terminal Storage company's ware
house was of brick and concrete ana

Seven stories in height, 1t was the
largest structure or ltS KIM III New

world. It's contents, consisting mostly
of goods awaiting delivery to the big
New York department stores, were nat

The building was divided into -FOUR
sections by fire walls two feet thick. One
of the sections was controlled by John
Wanamaker and contained merchandise
consigned to him. Another section was
rented by Gimbel Brothers, while the
two remaining sections had as tenants
nearly so smaller firms.
The drt started in the Wanaker
compartment and worked its way through
the fire wall to the Gimbel section. Both
these sections were completely burned

the other compartments held hrm and
the losses are therefore confined to the

against him in Pittsburg.
DR.. Mcfarland stated in most positive
terms that he was not responsible for
the condition the young woman was in,
nor was he responsible in any w@y for
her death. He stated that he was gull

greet was the sorrow the publication OF

sent to Jail without bond, the case be-
