Havana.-The exchange of cable
grams between President Gomez and
President Taft has led to a more
definite understanding regarding the
attitude Of the United States toward
Cuba.
President Gomez's message Of pro.
test against American Intervention
drew response from President Taft
in which assurances we're given that
the action Of the American govern
ment was merely a measure Of precau
tion and entirely disassociated with
any question of intervention.
To this President Gomez replied al
follows:
II am exceedingly grateful for your
cablegram, which is appcasing to Gu
ban patriotism, because Of the assur
ance with action Of the government
under your worthy presidency is lin
tied to the observation of events In or
der to be ready should 1t be necessary
to protect the lives and property oi
American citizens and morally to sup
port the Cuban government, without
having to land American forces in oul
territory, unless both governments
agree upon such an extreme necessity
ut clearly shows the sincerity of the
government and the people of the
United States as we'll as noble ant
friendly sentiments toward the gov
ernment and people Of Cuba, who ar,
determined to establish, as soon a,
possible, public peace, for which pur
pose they will not hesitate. no mat
ter what sacrifices circumstances may
impose upon them"
The impression is general that the
removal of the fear of Intervention
will greatly strengthen popular sup
port Of the government The newspa
pers express extreme qualification al
the attitude of the washington govern
ment.

UNIVERSITY CLUB BAL
MASQUE THURSDAY

The bal masque to be given by the
University club next Thursday, May 16,
promises to be one of the most brilliant
social affairs OF the season. A large
number of the members have signified
their intention to go and there now
seems to be no doubt as to its success.
The costumes will include every
thing in the list from Dutch, French
and Italian gowns of ancient design,
colonial costumes and red hunting out
fits, army officers uniforms. sailors
suits to the dress of the Aurora
Zouave.
Ralph Tenant, the chairman of the
entertainment committee, has secured
Ballou's orchestra for the occasion
which means that the music for the
dances will be the best procurable.
Punch will be served for the occa-
sion. Not in months have the members
of the University club been so enthused
over a social project. 1t is the sole
topic of conversation among the femin-
inc contingent of the club and is at
tracing considerable attention from
the members.
1t is expected that there will be at
least 40 couples present, and this will
nicely fill the ball room. 1t has been
some time since the club has given a
dance and the members are keen for it.

there Is no plot except a far-fetched
mlxup over a pup and baby which
borders on the vulgar at times. The
leading lady is an especially bright and
vivacious girl. who dances gracefully
and sings prettily. but how some of the
other principals ever got on the stage
is far beyond the comprehension of the
audience Go and see it for yourself
however There is much in the show
to enjoy.
