Absolute Tranquility Reigned in

Havana Cuba Jan. 17.-Absolute tran
guilty reigns here to-day in spite o.
the shock of the announcement in the
papers of possible intervention by the
United States in Cuba's affairs and not
a ripple of excitement was visible. The
popular attitude is apparently one OF in
tense but silent expectancy.
Meagre reports received from the in.
terror do not give any indications OF
trouble but there are some fears ex-
pressed in Havana that disturbances are
likely to occur in the rural districts and
more especially in the provinces OF
Oriente and pinar del Rio when the news
becomes more generally circulated
President Gomez when seen at the
palace, said:
Il have only recently received Seere-
tary Knox note, through the American
minister, Mr.. Beaupre, and have not yet

THREATENS TO INTERFERE
IN CUBAN AFFAIRS
United States Sends a Note To Cuban
Government Warning Against Fur
ther Interference By Military
in Political Affairs.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 1.-THE state
department has served notice on Presi-
dent Gomez that the United States will
intervene in Cuba if further attempts
are made by the veteran organization
to nullify the law prohibiting the in
reference OF the military in political
affairs in Cuba. The attitude of the
United States is shown in the follow
ing note presented yesterday to the Gu
ban government:
The situation in Cuba as now report
ed causes grave concern to the govern
ment Of the United States.
'sThat the laws intent to safeguard
free republican government shall be en-
forced and not defed is obviously essen
tial to the maintenance OF the law or
der and stability indispensable to the
status of the republic of Cuba, in the
continued wellbeing of which the United
States has always evinced and cannot
escape vital interest.
The president of the United States
locks to the president and government
OF Cuba to prevent threatened situa-
tion which would compel the govern
ment of the United States much against
its desires to consider what measures
il must take in pursuance of the obliga-
tions of its relations to Cuba"
The notification of the American gov
ernment was served upon President Com
ez through American Minister Beaupre
at Havana.
1t was on reports OF American Min
lister Beaupre that the note was based.
Minister Beaupre reported yesterday
from Havana that in defiance of de-
cree issued by President Gomez forbid
ding officers of the army and rural guard
to participate in politics, which also is
prohibited by military law, many army
officers and rurales attended a meeting
Sunday night of the national council
OF veterans, an organization of veterans
of the Cuban war for independence.
The veterans have been active in the
past three months in attempting to have
displaced from the civil service persons
who sympathized with the Spanish
cause in the rebellion. Press dispatches
yesterday indicated that the veterans
were threatening to eoeree members of
Congress, now in session, to nullify the
law regarding the participation of the
military in politics.
This move convinced the state depart
ment that the situation was the most
serious that had presented itself since
the veterans move began. 1t had been
evident to the department that President
Gomez was practically powerless to re-
sst the movement unless he received
substantial support from the outside
The declared purpose of some of the
veterans to make ineligible for public
service large element of the popula
tion because they sided with Spain in
the revolution had been pointed out as
inconsistent with the individual freedom
and rights guaranteed to the constitu-
tion of Cuba The United States re-
garded the action of the veterans there
fore as likely to threaten the stability
of the republic and hence the sharpness
OF the warning issued yesterday the
United States being by treaty bound
10 see that the Cuban constitution is
observed.

RECOVERING FROM INJURIES.
Mrs M. L. Lewis Was Hurt in Being
Thrown From Sleigh.

| Mrs Milo l.. Lewis OF South Barre is
recovering from the effects of a fall
which she sustained yesterday at Will
| Jamestown, having been brought to the
City hospital in b. w. Hooker 4 Co.'S
ambulance during the afternoon. AT
the hospital to-day it was stated that
she was getting along well.
In company with her husband, Mrs.
Lewis was on the point OF returning
by team to South Barre The couple
had stopped for time at the home Of
relatives living over the Downs store and
lad boarded the sleigh for the return
journey when the accident occurred. Mr..
Lewis had charge OF the reins and in
turning the horse around, the animal
gave a sudden lurch, which threw the
occupants from their seats Mrs. Lewis
struck the ground in such manner as
to bear the burden Of the heavily weight
ed sleigh and dislocated hip was the
result. The injured woman was carried
to her sisters house nearby and call
was sent to this city for an ambulance
In the meantime, DIR. William II. Hur-
lev had been called and he made the
suffering one as comfortable as pos
sible. Drs Lamb and Lazell later at
tended her.
1t is not thought that any complca-
tions will develop from the injury al
though Mrs. Lewis will be confined for
scme time. In speaking of the acci-
dent this morning, MIR. Lewis stated
that the horse was not high spirited
animal and that the accident was due
only to quick turn which the horse
made in heading homeward. The driv-
er says his hands were encased in heavy
mittens when the spilling occurred and
that this fact prevented him from Sc
curing grip on the reius tight enough
to hold the horse in check.
