 EttoTs Influence Waning.
 Although John J. Ettor of New York, the directing head of the strike in his capacity of national organizer of the Industrial Workers of the World, de clared his belief that the strikers would gain nothing by arbitration, other members of the executive com mittee were faverably disposed to the proposition, and after some demur the New York leader also consented to it.

The question which will be brought before the convention is whether the indi- vidual districts of the miners general union shall sign new wage contracts with mine owners as they can be ne gotiated or whether the miners ae a national organization shall refuse to sign any contracts until the operators of all the districts have agreed to the miners terms.

EXCITEMENT AT HAVANA.
News at First Received With Aston
 ishment and Resentment.

Havana,Jan. 16.-The news of threat ened intervention by the United States in Cuban affairs, which was publish ed in the late editions of the Havana afternoon papers, coming without the least warning, created intense excite ment in the clubs and cafes and in all places of public gathering it was the absorbing topic of discussion. Aston ishment and resentment against Amer incan interference was mingled with very great incredulity.
 Later, as the news was fully con- firmed, the impression became general that the suggestion of intervention would probably have a good effect in calming the existing veteran agita- tion and in quieting political excite ment
 President Gcmez when seen at the palace tonight said:
 T have only recently received Sec retary Knox's note through the Amer ican minister, MT. Beaupre, and have not yet made a reply, but probably will do so tomorrow. 1 am convinced that no occasion has yet arisen for any intimation of intervention.
 Havana, Jan. 16.-Gen, Emilio Nu- neg, the former governor of the prov ince of Havana, who is president of the veterans association, said: 'I absolutely refuse to believe the re- port. If the United States intervenes under present conditions, when no necessity exists to avoid disorder or restore order. then Cuba would be stripped of every vestige of indepen- 1 dence. If this condition is forced on us, the United States will have to | fight us, and that struggle for inde- pence will not cease while g. Cuban | is left alive to defend the fatherland !"
 Many conservative veterans tonight ridiculed Nunez's threats of resistance to American intervention, saying that | he would speedily find himself with out followers.
 It is evident that the veterans are | badly split up. The adherents of Gen eral Nunez have lost much influence l by the defection of the conservative element, and it is probable this will relieve the government of much em barrassment.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The state de- pertinent has served notice on Presi- dent Gomez that the United States will intervene in Cuba if further at tempts are made by the veteran or gAnization to nullify the law prohibit Ing the interference of the military in political affairs in Cuba.
 Text of the Note.
 The attitude of the United States is shown in the following note presented today to the Cuban government;
 The situation in Cuba as now reported causes grave concern to
 the government of the United
 States
 That the laws intended to safe
 guard free republican government shall be enforced and not deted is obviously essential to the main tenance of the law, order and sta bihty indispensable to the status of the republic of Cuba, in the con- tinued well being of which the United States has always evinced and cannot escape a vital interest.
 The president of the United States looks to the president and government of Cuba to prevent threatened situation which would compel the government of the United States, much against its desire. to consider what measures it must take in pursuance of the obligations of it's relations to Cuba"
 Army Officers Defy Decree.
 It was on reports of American Min ister BeGupre at Havana that today's note was based. Minister Beaupre re- ported today from Havana that in de- tiance Of a decree issued by President Gomez forbidding officers of the army and rural guards to participate in poh- tics, which is also prohibited by mill- tary law, many army officers and ru- rales attended a meeting Sunday night of the national council of veterans, an organization of veterans of the Cuban war of independence.
 coeroing Members of Congress.
 The veterans have been active in the past three months in attempting to have displaced from the civil service persons who sympathized with the Spanish cause in the rebellion. Press dispatches today indicated that the veterans were threatening to coerce members of congress, now in session, SO nullify the law regarding the par ucipation of the military in politics.
 President Gomez PowerIess.
 This move convinced the state de- partment that the situation was the most serious that had presented itself since the veterans move began It had been evident to the department that President Gomez was practically pow erless to resist the movement unless he receives substantial support from the outside.
 Warning Expected to Be Effective.
 The officials here entertain no doubt whatever over the result of this note of warning. President Gomez will en- force his decree against the participa- ton of the military in politics, and il is expected there will be a decided abatement of the raid of would be officeholders upon the places now filled by members of the conservative ele- ment. f these results are not ob- tain, then it may reasonably be ex-
