tory Stories of Az
fray in Havana.

Havana, Nov. General Felix Diaz
was arrested here, today, and accused
of shooting Pedro Guerrero, the young
Mexican wounded by bullet from a
revolver, during last nights alterca-
ton in the course of which General
Diaz was wounded slightly.
General Felix Diaz looked down.
hearted when interviewed in prison,
today, by The Associated Press. He
showed two slight stab wounds in the
neck just behind the ear as the result
of his encounter with several Mexi-
cans, last night.
General Diaz is said to have handed
the revolver to one of his companions
after he had shot Guerrero and seri-
ously wounded him. Guerrero was the
man who stabbed DaZ. In spite of
the gravity of his injuries he passed
a good night in the hospital.
General DiaZ was taken before a
judge and, at f.30 O'Clock, this morn
ing, was placed under provisional ar
rest. He affirmed he knew nothing
further of the incident but believed
the attack on him was premedkated.
Many contradictory versions of last
nights incident were current. 1t is
not known exactly how the ARRAY
started. Some say Diaz provoked
General Carranza's followers while
others declare that Diaz was suddenly
attacked by his enemies.
Julio Ortez Casanova, Cuban law
yer, said, today, he would petition the
court for the indictment of DiaZ for
adding that several
Mexican and four Cuban witnesses
would testify that they saw Diaz and
his friends attack Guerrero.
Guerrero is a young newspaper man
and q strong adherent of General
CarranZa. He was shot in the pack,
the bullet penetrating the abdomen.

cussed at a session of the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science here, tonight. Louis D. Bran

Girard Trust Co. Philadelphia.
Mr.. Brandies said in part:
America has been called the land
of contrasts. and none of its contrasts
is more marked than that between our
political liberty and our industrial
absolutism. Politically every Ameri-
can is free and independent: indus
trially a large proportion of Ameri-
cans are dependent upon arbitrary Will
of others. This contrast necessarily
breeds discomfort. While it endures
social unrest must continue. II is as
ago, that the nation cannot endure
half slave and half free. Either we
shall achieve industrial liberty, or our
political liberty will be impaired.
President Wilson has wisely preached
the gospel of the new freedom. And
the freedom must be new. America
had industrial liberty once; had it,
indeed, half a century ago. But his
tory never goes backward. The in
dustrial liberty for which we are now
will be something different
from that of the past. But it will be
won under the old flag E. Pluribus
Unum.

A QUESTION
Alternatives Left #
Huerta Refuses
To Be Eliminated from the
Mexican Affairs.
Cabinet Meeting al Washing.
ton Discusses Situation.
Unwavering Demands That Kuerta
Resign, Pres. Wilson's Policy.

! Washington, Nov. What shall the
United States do in the event that
i Provisional President Huerta refuses
to resign? This question was discuss
cd at length, today, in the cabinet
meeting. but no decision was an
nounced. Formal reply to- the latest
American representations had not
been received up to late today, and
until a definite answer comes, it is
not expected there will be determine
ton of tn policy to be pursued
The discussion at the cabinet meet
ing turned, however, to various alter
natives. Nothing concrete developed,
il was said, nor were there any tangi-
BILE conclusions, but members went
away with fixed ideas of the deter
minationa of President Wilson that the
government should unwaveringly in
sist on the elimination of Huerta from
the situation as the first step toward
peace in the southern republic.
Lifting the embargo on arms so
that the Constitutionalists may obtain
munitions of war was one of the
principal suggestions taken under
consideration, but as yet, there is no
the Washington government.
Press dispatches, today. announcing
TO an extent Huerta's purpose of re-
jecting the American demands made
no impression on government officials.
They had received no official COM
munication to that effect and would
not comment. they said, until they
had.
A hopefulness that Huerta would
realize the certainty of future compli-
cations and eliminate himself from
the situa ton was expressed by some
officials, but there was no informa-
ton available to indicate upon what
such optimism might be based.
Dispatches from Berlin stating that
Germany would consider a movement
TO bring the powers together in sup
port of the American policy only If
such a step were desired by the Wash
ington government, led to the belief in
many quarters that some movement
might vet be developed in the situa-
ton to convince Huerta of the force
of the American viewpoint. Secre-
tary Bryan declined to discuss this or
any other phase of the situation.
