CALL CRISIS PAST
IN CUBAN AFFAIRS
President Gomez Has Been Assured
That Veterans Will Cease Their
Political Activities.

Havana, Jan. l9.-With the assurance
made last night to President Gomez by
the leaders of the veteran movement
that the agitation would cease and the
veterans would Loyalty support the ad-
ministration in bringing all Cubans to-
gether in patriotic accord and in re-
moving the faintest excuse for American
Intervention, there appears to be no
doubt that the crisis in Cuban affairs
has been successfully passed. The con-
ference of the president with the promi-
nent men of all factions Wednesday
night proved merely to be an exchange
of views. no defined policy being formu'
lated. But while the necessity OF un-
ion and cooperation was recognized on
all sides, there was one discordant note
in the attitude of the yeteranista lead
ers, who seemed reluctant to surrender
the fruits of their heretofore triumphant
campaign and who were disposed to in
sist upon the constitutional rights of
the officers of the army and the rural
guard to take part in the movement.
That this opposition has completely
surrendered its position is indicated by
the following official memorandum IS
sued last night from the palace, after
a long conference between the president
and General Nunez and Colonel Cor
ando, editor Of Discussion, representing
the veterans:
General Nunez and Colonel Coronda
conferred tonight with the president.
Existing throughout the conference was
spirit of the utmost cordiality and
patriotism. Both veterans declare that
it would be their foremost effort to re-
store amity and confidence throughout
the republic and remove the slightest
pretext that might endanger the inde'
pendenee of the country. They We're
fully resolved to put an end to the
present veteranista campaign, so as to
remove any cause of unrest, with which
purpose they would issue imperative di-
rections to all veteran clubs to cease
their activities in the sense referred to-
"The veteran clubs are to continue in
accordance with their bylaws as beney-
oient and patriotic institutions.
"The president is greatly gratified at
these declarations, which he expected
in view Of the ardent love for the eoun
try which has ever inspired the liberia
tors of Cuba"
The adhesion of the veterans to the
apparently removes all
possibility Of disastrous dseord.
All the conferences so far have been
by expressions Of friend
ship and gratitude to the United States.
The Knox note is regarded as warn
ing issued in the most friendly spirit
and couched in terms which prohibited
its Interpretation as threat or a de-
on the part of Washington
to intervene, unless compelled to do so

being unable TO land to any advantage

the tenth round.
Brown forced the fighting throughout
but Attell's defense was impenetrable

naught. Brown opened the fight with
light left, which did no damage. At
tell toyed with the local lightweight
and not a heavy blow was struck
throughout the round.
In the second round Attell landed sew
eral upper cuts without return and
before the round ended had closed one
of Browns eyes and badly damaged the
other. In the third Brown continued
his rushing tactics and Attell covered up,
and then landed short upper cut to
Browns chin.
The fourth round was the most SEN
sational of the bout. Brown swung hard
at Attell and the latter stopped him
with a straight left. Brown landed a
hard left swing, sending Attell to the
ropes. just before the end OF the round
Brown landed lefts and rights and At
tell appeared to be in bad shape, but
at the. bell, the featherweight cham
pion went iauntily to his corner.
From this point on Attell iabbed at
will, and seemed able to land all the
blows in his repertoire, sending home at
least a dozen without return. The
fifth round was all Attel's.
In the sixth round Brown was wild
and missed many swings, but just be-
fore the bell he landed good right. He
sent a long right swing to the jaw in
the seventh, but Attell was not hurt.
Both men INDUCED in rough tactics and
were roundly Missed by the crowd
Brown opened the eighth round with
an uppercut which did no damage. To-
ward the end Of the round Attell upper.
cut and jabbed Brown repeatedly while
the latter was wild. Both men fought
roughly in the ninth and again the crowd
showed its disapproval. Attell then
landed three uppercuts without re-
turn.
Brown appeared tired in the tenth
round whereas Attell continued iabbing
mercilessly. The fight ended with a
groggy mixup from which Brown
emerged bleeding from the nose and
mouth. 1t was Attel's fight.

be checked had practically destroyed the
main structure. The building which was

determine the cause of the fire.
The building was two-story, wood

and was located on Chester street, about
one half mile from the village. The

LORD OF THE SOIL LOSING PRESTIGE

Uncle Sam is about to come to the conclu-
SION that his girl farmers are better than his
boys 1t was only few years ago that the
department OF agriculture began the organiza-
ton of boys clubs and girls clubs in va
rious agricultural communities and since has
been inspiring them to friendly rivalry in the
raising of crops
Reports have recently been going into the
department from Oklahoma regarding the sue
cess of this particular branch of instruction in
agriculture and the results are surprising. The
reports show that the girls of Oklahoma can
nowhere in the race. In other States the con-
test was closer, but the general summing up
would seem to show that the noble male is no
longer lord OF the soil. In Virginia the work
az the boys and girls both has been very sat
iisfactory--so satisfactory as to warrant the
statement, without fear of exaggeration that

to mediate upon the largeness Of the American
electorate and to realize that 1t takes a great
many supporters to give man majority.
There were several causes that contributed to
MIR. Roosevelt's defeat. first--the fact that he
was boiling candidate. All OF the inertia OF
the party against him.. all the forces OF
regularity. Then the Investigations showed that
he was Intimately associated with men who do
not enjoy public confidence. The men who con-
tributed the bulk Of his campaign fund are a
liability rather than asset to candidate
His attitude on the trust question alarmed those
who have studied the trust question and appre-
ciate the menace of private monopoly. but the
strongest argument against him was the arsu-
ment against the third term. He not only asked
a third term but refused to discuss any iimita-
ton on the number of terms. 1t Is fair to sup
pose that his defeat win end all talk Of a third
term for q generation In fact, the constftu-

forever the third term issue.
