Has Gulf Stream
ChangedIts Course?

Halifax. n. s., May 26.-That the III
tanic disaster resulted from a change
in the Arctic current, causing great
pocket of cold water within the usual

statement made, today, by Capt. p.
c. Johnson, Canadian government in
spector of lighthouses, who was in
charge of the expedition sent out on
the government steamer Montmagny
in search of the bodies of the Titanic
dead. This change, Capt. Johnson
said. was known to Capt. Smith of
the Titanic and it explains, he said,
why he did not avoid ice of which he
was warned.

Havana May 26.-President Gomez
sent a eahlesram, today, to President
Taft in which lie protests, in friendly
but firm tones, against Intervention by

at is my duty to say that so serious
a resolution alarms and hurts the feel
mgs of people who love and are jealous

reciting that he received from United
States Minister Beaupre a note in
forming him that the Washington gov
eminent had ordered a gunboat to

tration at Key West in anticipation Of

that the Cuban government was un-
able to protect American property it
was the intention to land forces for
that purpose.
President Gomez says the govern
ment is doing its utmost, having with
in four days sent 5000 troops by land
and sea to crush the rebels in Oriente
and in that short time it has restored
order in all parts of the island. with
that exception. He also says that 5000
rifles with ammunition have been dis
tributed to loyal citizens and that the

Il appeal to you" he continued, ''as
a loyal friend of Cuba respecting her
rights, that you will be convinced that
this government is capable and sufIi-
GENTLY supported by the valor and pat
riotism of the Cuban people to deal
promptly with few unfortunate and
misguided persons without reason or
