CUBA APPEALS TO.
MR.. TAFT NOT TO
INTERVENE
Says Island Republic Can Con-
troll Rebellion
MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT
Gomez Says That Worst is Over and
That interference Now Would
Be Unfair to Cuba

Havana, Mey 26-President Com
ez sent cable dispatch to President
Taft early today, protesting against
American intervention at this time.
The Cuban executive has thereby
struck the popular chord, even among
the newspapers and politicians, who
formerly condemned his every act,
The latter now declare he has prov
ed himself patriot of patriots and
will mean his reelection to the pres
idency
Gomez message to the American
president expressed what all Cubans
feel, that neither the United States
nor any other nation could have MADE
a swifter or stronger demonstration
against the negro insurrectos than
Cuba has made, and that the greatest
danger is already over
In his message to President Taft
Senior Gomez said:
Il appeal to you as loyal friend Of
Cuba, respecting her rights, that you
will be convinced that this govern
ment is capable and sufficiently sup
ported by the yalor and patriatisn
of the Cuban people to deal prompt!
with few unfortunate and misguided
persons without reason or flag.
-"If you understand these conditions
you will perceive that it is not th'
part of a friendly government to con
tribute under such circumstances t,
the embarrassment of a government
and people such as those of Cuba
placed, 1t is true. in unfortunate con
ditions, but not lacking in its meth
DDS, patriotism and courage"
Gov. Manduley wires from Orient
Province that Capt Brooks, commar
der of the United States naval sta
ton, has called on the mayor of Gpar
tanamo and asked when the govern
ment was going to put down the W
rising. If he desired, he would Ian
United States marines. The mayo
answered that United States troop
were not needed, as the Cuban FOL
ces were amply able to protect all tn
foreigners who applied to the author
ties.

Notes Of the Game

PeloQuln's change OF pace was
amusingly puzzling for the students.
His slow ball had them reaching so
far that they almost lost their bal
ance.
The Bennington players hit the ball
much harder than the score shows
Only one batter struck out and the
Wllliamstown fielders were given q
lot OF work TO do.
Outside of the fourth inning the
students played an excellent fieldiuS
game. The outfeld. especially, haC
more than its share Of opportunities
and all were accepted.
Carolan's hit into the tree in center
field, In the third inning, was in real
lily safe and should have resulted II
two runs and perhaps more for Ben
nington. The rules state that an!
ball which hits any obstruction is
safe hit
