Washington. The State Depart
ment served notice ON President Co
mez that the United States will in,
tervene in Cuba if further attempts are
made by the veteran organization to
nullify the law prohibiting the inter
ference of the military in political af-
fairs in Cuba. The attitude of the
United States is shown in the follow
ing note presented to the Cuban Gov
eminent.
"The situation in Cuba as now re-
ported causes grave concern to the
Government of the United States.
That the laws intended to safeguard
free republican government shall be
enforced and not defied is obviously
essential to- the maintenance of the
law, order and stability indispensable
to the status of the Republic of Cuba,
in the continued we'll 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 Govern
ment of Cuba to prevent the threaten
ed situation which would compel the
Government of the United States,
much against it's desires, to consider
what measures it must take in pursu-
ance of the obligations of it's relations
to Cuba"
The notification of the American
Government was served on President
Enn1nU 4hr0,1nH A~a4~41, AHs-.4~.
Beaupre at Havana.
This situation is an outgrowth Of
the agitation begun last fall by the
Association of the Veterans of the
Wan for Cuban independence.
The veterans began by demanding
the dismissal from public office of all
men who had ever been identified
with the old Spanish regime and the
appointment of members of their own
organization to Office wherever posi-.
BILE.
At the time of the last intervention,
President Roosevelt said the next
time the United States went into
Cuba with troops it would go to stay.
Since then, on occasions of reported
outbreaks in Cuba, President Taft has
made it plain to the Cuban Govern.
ment that the next time the United
States was called on to send troops
to the island those troops would re-
main and that the Stars and Stripes
would be the Cuban national flag.
Major-Gen. Wood has enough troops
near the Atlantic seaboard and the
Gulf of Mexico to have 5000 men in

There are 10 ~battleships and sever,

From the ~battleships 1900 marines

exclusively in this town, and passed
from his son Samuel to the hands of
his granddaughter, the wife of
Ashley Wyman, from whom it took
it's modern name
Mr. Daman was indicted " into
the pastoral Office December &c,
1881. He came from Tisbury, Massa-
chusetts, and was interested in many
town enterprises, unusual for mod
ern ministers. as he held one-third
interest in the saw mill erected by
Phinehas Williams, and one-half in
terest in Seth Silvester's fulling mill
and clothier's works.

Treaty That Safeguards the Scenic

deur of Niagara falls for all time.
The treaty goes into full effect auto

OF its provisions.
The international agreement was
made In response to general demand
that the question of water diversion
be settled once and for all in accord
ance with expert opinion. The treaty
makers had exhaustive tests conducted
by hydraulic engineers. and It was de-
termined that diversions should not
exceed $4,000 cubic feet second on
the Canadian side and 10000 cubic feet
a second on the American side. out Of
a total dow of 100000 cubic feet a Sec

The use Of this quantity OF water
for power purposes, the engineers
