weytern Newspaper Union News Service.
Hayana.-The exchange of cable,
grams between President Gomez and
President Taft has led to 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 were given that
the action of the American govern.
ment was merely a measure Of precau.
ton and entirely disassociated with
any question of intervention.
To this President Gomez replied as
follows:
Il am exceedingly grateful for your
cablegram, which is appeasing to Gu.
ban patriotism, because Of the assur.
ance with action of the government
under your worthy presidency is linn.
tied to the observation of events in or
der to be ready should il be necessary
to protect the lives and property Of
American citizens and morally to sup
port the Cuban government, without
having to land American forces in our
territory, unless both governments
agree upon such an extreme necessity.
1T clearly shows the sincerity Of the
government and the people of the
United States as well as noble and
friendly sentiments toward the gov.
eminent and people of Cuba. who are
determined to establish, as soon as
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 uewspa.
pers express extreme qualification at
the attitude Of the Washington govern.

after placing them as advantageously
as possible, I stretched myself out on
the floor, and applying an eye to q
convenient opening took careful sur
vey of the situation without. This
present cessation Of activity was,
felt convinced, only temporary. I did
not expect, from all I could now see,
that the final assault would take place
upon my side of the building. The
massing of the main body of the be-
siegers before the front entrance, to-
gether with the presence there of
their leaders, was sufficient to con-
vince me that this was to prove the
principal point of attack, and from my
knowledge of such affairs ! decided
that probably the first signs of return
ing daylight would be the signal for q
determined assault The dark interior
Of such q house as this offered too
many defensive advantages which the
daylight would largely overcome.
Have you had some hard fighting?"
l asked of the man lying next me. a
manipulating fellow, wearing the vel
low chevrons of a corporal of cavalry.

/ Discussing the reported retaliatory
action Of Germany upon taFiiI rates
growing out Of its dissatisfaction with
the refusal Of the United States to cen.
form tothe favored nation treaty in the
matter Of pulp and paper, Herman
Ridder of the committee on paper Of
the American Newspaper PubIishers'
Association said: "Germany passed q
law on February 5, 1910, wherein II
arranged its tariff so that the United
States was accorded the lowest duties.
AS result of that action President
Taft proclaimed under date Of FEBRUARY
7, 1910, that Germany had accorded
reciprocal and equivalent treatment
20 the products Of the United States
and was entitled TO the minimum
tariff. The Germans now resent the
DISCRIMINATION OF the United States,
whereby Canada obtains free admission
for its palps and paper, while Ger
many Is denied equivalent treatment.

i've foreign governments for the bene-
fits of the favored nation clauses of
their treaties with the United States
have been ignored. Within eighteen
months after theadjustment was made
with Germany the administration
has ignored that arrangement and pre-
cipitated complication that should be
avoided. Bad faith Is even more re.
prehelsible in international dealings
than in individual affairs, because in
affairs Of nations there 10 no power to
force them to observe their obligations.
A nation which attempts TO evade the

In the first place, with regard to my
own state Of mind, surrendered TO the
facts, as every candid man must. My
whole re-possession-my whole reas-
ening against these things. But
when came into contact with candid
honest, public spirited men who could
speak with regard, for example, to

experience, they fioored me flss with
their narration OF what had actually
happened. | found IN the men who
had advocated these things, who had
put them into operation, and who had
accomplished things by them, not
critics or opponents Of representative
government, but men who were eager
TO restore IL where 1t had been lost, aud
who had taKen---successfu taken
these means to recover for the people
what they had unquestionably lIost--
control OF their own affairs.
In short, they were not trying to
change our institutions. The Initiative

means to an end that end being the
restoration Of the control OF public

IGe recall OF judges am absolutely
against, and always have been. II is a
