 This morning the papers of Ha- vana in commenting upon the speech place the interpretation that tho same was another warning to Cuba. similar to the one recently administered.
 One paper states: The distinguish ed visitor on an official visit to south ern republics sounded . warning last evening. and unless Cuba Is careful intervention on the part of tho Uni- ted States is liable to take place. We admit that Secretary of State Knox stated there would be no cause for intervention so long as Cuba conduct ed It's affairs as 1t is now doing. and trusted no occasion would arise where a contention would exist be- tween the two nations. for friendly relationship was to be courted under any and all conditions But for all that the speech contains a warning that the Cuban administration cannot we'll afford to overlook"

rod the first of the week, and may be

Blanc comes to the North every season,
and the regularity of his visits has
made him a conspicuous figure in the
territory. AS everybody knows, the
New York Life Insurance Company is
one of the giants Of The insurance
world.
Discussing the management Of the
company, the examiners appointed by
the state of New York said The final
results of this examination show that
the work of the company is done efici-

paid promptly; its policy-holders are
treated fairly; its dividends are appor-
