Of the American government was mere
Jy a measure of precaution, and entire
ly associated from any question of in
tervention. To this President Gomez
replied as follows:
II am exceedingly grateful for your
cablegram, which is appeasing to Gu
ban patriotism, because of the assur-
ance that the action of the government
under your worthy presidency is linn
tied to the observation of events in or
der to be ready should it be necessary
to protect the lives and property or
American citizens and morally to sup
port the Cuban government without
having to land American forces on our
territory, unless both governments
agree upon such an extreme neces-
sity."
The receipt of President Taft's
message declaring that the naval con-
centration at Key West and the dis
patch of gunboats to Cuban waters
were merely precautionary was a
source of much qualification to the Gu
ban government The newspapers
express extreme qualification at the
attitude of Washington.
The Cuban government continued
unsparingly in it's efforts to rush re-
Inducements to Oriente province.
The settlement of the longshore
mems strike has had the excellent eff
feet of removing the danger of posi-
BILE disorders in the city and assuring
the government a constant flow of re.
sources from customs receipts.

inland lakes, for all game fish ex

from Dec. Is to the fifteenth day of
the following June, and in Mirror
lake and Dell creek, Sank county, the

Madison.-Adjt.-G Boardman' s

law, act of May IL, 1912, which at

In the United States it is said that
there are 100000 veterans who are

Santiago, May 2S.-Generals Estenov

tention to carry on the war whether
the United States intervenes or not,
until the Morua law has been re-
pealed. This law provides that there
shall be no recognition of political par
ties on racial lines and is offensive to
the negroes.
The insurgent leaders have made the
further statement in an interview with
a correspondent who has just returned
from the field that they received Of
fers of money from the Cuban govern
ment in consideration for not taking
the field, but they refused, rather than
have the political aspirations of the
colored race unfulfilled Estenov and
Ivonet have under them $500 men of
whom 500 are well armed They an
nounce their intention of exacting war
contributions from the planters and
railroads, otherwise they will burn
their property. They express them
selves as pleased to observe that the
Cuban government has been slow in
attacking them, thus allowing them
time for organization.
1t is understood that General Este.
nov has addressed an important COM
munication to President Gomez out
lining the situation of the republic as
he sees it.

WISCONSIN CAPITOL
TO Be HANDS0MEST
State Building Under Construc-
ton Is Unsurpassed.
COST WILL TOTAL $1,000, 900
Now Reasonably Certain That Struc-
ture Will be Completed by July |.
I9l6-PIan Tearing Down Old North
Wing Next Year.

Madison. - The new $6,000,00t
capitol building of Wisconsin will be
the handsomest structure of it's kind
in the United States, according to
Lew f. Porter. secretary of the cap
itol commission and supervising
architect. With the exception of the
Wisconsin capitol the most preten-
tlous structures aye those of New
York, which will cost $2O,O0O,O00,
and of Pennsylvania, which cost S.
100000 Neither in size, design nor
architectural beauty will either of
the two eastern buildings excel that
OF Wisconsin. The cubic capacity of
the state capitol will be equal to that
OF the New York building and will
exceed that of the Pennsylvania
structure
The great dome of the new build
ing rises 800 feet and four great
wings five stories high extend at the
points of the compass. The extreme
length of the building from east to
west and from north to south will
be 42S feet. The ground area COW
cred is about 10000 square feet,
of which the dome includes 10000.
The capacity of the entire building,
exclusive of approaches, terraces and
areas, will be 100000 cubic feet.
The building has been under con-
struction seven years and it is rea-
sonably certain that it will be fin
lshed by July 1, 1916. Two wings,
the east and west, have been COM
pleted. The south wing will prob
ably be finished this year. The steel
frame OF the dome is erected and will
be enclosed before 1913. The north
wing of the old capitol, the only part
of the building still standing, will
be torn down next year and the foun-
datton for the new wing laid. The
new wing will be built in 1914 and
1915.
Contracts for all of the work ex-
cept the interior finishing of the
north wing have been let, carrying
more than 100000. The actual
amount so far spent on the build
ing and heating plant, the latter
separate structure half a mile from
the capitol, is S3,673,43115. The
commission is authorized to spend
100000 year and the legislature
has made provision by taxation and
direct appropriation for 100000
for the entire construction.
The interior and exterior decora-
tive work will represent the best
work of living sculptors and will
cost small fortune. The paintings
in the assembly and senate cham
bers will be by world famous artists
and will cost $4,000. The paint
ings in the governors reception
chamber, which is a reproduction of
the reception room of the ducal pal
ace in Venice, were made by John
Balm, who received $4,000 for the
work. Frank D. Millet, Titanic vic
tim, was under contract to produce
the paintings for the supreme court
chamber for $4,000. The capitol
park is being improved at cost of
$40 600
