thousands of men and women who
pass the church daily on their way
to and from work in the financial dis :

Some thought that Chinese foundry

the church, while others were OF the
opinion that the sign contained the
announcement of some Chinese meet

Manchu dynasty. At last. however
the puzzle was solved. 1t was ascer-

merely contained the announcement

washington, June 10.--'fhe presence
of American warships in Havana har-
Dor. this afternoon. may be regarded
as greatly diminishing the likelihood
of Intervention in Cuba, according to
the construction placed upon that fact
by the administration. 1t is felt that
the mere presence of the two warships
VIII restrain the restless and excitable
element of Havana.
Secretary Knox, who all along has
lost ne opportunity of declaring
against any proposition to intervene
politically in Cuba unless absolutely
driven to do so by the failure of the
cuban government to uphold the law
and protect life and property, felt CALI
ed upon, today to renew that assilr-
auce directly to the Cuban people
through Orestez Ferrara, Speaker of
the Cuban House of Representatives.
Although the subject was not
broached in today's conference be-
tween Knox and Ferrara it is under
stood that the Cuban financiers must
soon figure again in formal negotia-
ton between the countries. In the
treaty which governs their relations,
Cnba is not permitted to negotiate
foreign loans beyond her ability to
meet and il is for the United States to
determine that question. If more funds
are needed. it must be shown to Sec
Rotary Knoxs satisfaction that Cuba
can safely carry an additional loan. 1t
is understood that at present the to-
tai amount of the foreign obligations
of Cuba exceeds s65,00o,000 the inter
est on which is sufficient to cause n
serious situation upon the resources
of the country.
The feeling is growing stronger here
