Opposing Leaders Meet to
Discuss Situation.
ARMY OF 5000 READY TO MOVE
Secretary Knox of State Department
Feels That II Is Now Up to Presi-
dent Gomez to Straighten Out
Difficulties That Caused Gov.
ernment to Issue Warning.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The state dc.
partment stands pat on it's note to
Cuba warning President Gomez that
he must maintain the law or expect a
third Intervention. Secretary Knox
feels II is now up to Cuba and that
the state department will have an an
swer to its note in the steps taken to
remedy the existing political situation
Meantime all arrangements have
been made by the war department, so
that force of 5000 can be dispatched
to Cuba on few hours notice. Troops
along the Atlantic coast have been
designated and will be sent to Cuba
in case 1t becomes necessary to occu-
py the island.
Commanders have been notified that
they must be prepared to move their
forces according to plans drawn up
long ago. There is no expectation at
the war department, however. that
such a move will be necessary.
This view also prevailed at the state
department. Unofficial reports receiv-
ed from Havana were taken to ind-
cate that the Cuban government and
people understand the purpose of the
note presented by Minister Beaupre
Word was received that President Go
meZ will meet the leaders of all the
political factions for the purpose of
discussing the situation. This step is
taken to indicate that the note has al.
ready had a most salutory effect in
that it has resulted in opposing leaders
getting together for at least a discus
sion of the situation. The reasons for
the presentation of the note were more
fully explained at the state depart
ment. AS was first suggested. it was
felt at the department and at the
White House that fairness to Cuba
demanded that this government re
mind the Cuban government Of its re-
SponSibilities before it was too late
for any remedy but American inter
vention. 1t was considered that il
would be more fair to the Cubans to
warn her of the seriousness of the sit.
uatiOn from the American point of
view in time to give President Gomez
anu an opportunity
to straighten matters out.
Unofficial advices received at the de
partment indicated that at least a por-
ton of the Cuban people appreciated
this view of the situation and wei
coined the action of the United States
President Gomez and members Of his
administration, together with the more
substantial business element of the
Cuban people, are understood to coin
eide with this view.
1t is well known at the state depart
ment that there is a very strong senti
ment among the business men of Cuba
in favor of the annexation Of the is
land by the United States. 1t was
made most clear at the state depart
ment that no such proposal is contem
plated in that quarter and that inter
vention is, to say the least, far from
being desired.

TRY TO BLOW UP BAPTISTERY
Famous Italian Building at Pisa Saved
by Watchmen.

Pisa, Italy. Jan. lS.-A determined
attempt was made here TO blow up the
famous baptiStery, which was begun
in 11J3 and not completed until 1913
The building, which is entirely of mar
bic, is opposite the famous cathedral
and adjacent to the Leaning Tower
Two watchmen in making their rounds
noticed smoke issuing from under
meath the door of the baptistery. An
investigation followed, and burning
fuse was discovered attached to a con-
trivance on the door panels filled with
gunpowder.
The watchmen extinguished the
burning fuse. This averted not only
the probable destruction of the bap-
tistery, but disaster to the marble
cathedral and the Leaning Tower.

AMERICAN STEAMER SINKS.
Vessel Unidentified Goes Down OF the
Coast Of Scotland.

London. Jan. lS.-A IaAge unidenti-
fed three masted steamer was sunk
with all hands off Peterhead in the
great storm that is raging over the
British isles.
From the size of the steamer it is
thought probable that she came from
America. Apparently she was not
heavily loaded.
When first sighted she was drifting
helplessly before the gale and flying
distress signals. Then suddenly she
rolled over and plunged head first to
the bottom.
A driving snow blizzard ragged in
northern districts, blocking railroads
through mountains and making roads
impossible, while many country public
schools have been closed.
