THREAT Of JAIL DELIVERY IN
CUBA GIVES TASK TO BRYAN
New Secretary Of State
Encounters Weighty
Problems.

ALMOST at the actual moment the
IA William Jennings Bryan step.
4 n ped into his new office as sec
rotary Of state he was plunged
Into problems of the weightiest posi-
BILE nature. He was not given o
chance to feel his way around care
fully and become adjusted to the new
functions. 1t was up to him to act
quickly toward shutting off great act
OF probable lawlessness in Cuba and
to smooth out diplomatic entangle
ments between this country and Mex.
leo.
In the first place. the threatened re
lease Of all political and other prison,
ers from the jails throughout Cuba
was a matter of the gravest moment.
1t had deep significance for the United
States.
This liberation Of countless malefac-
tors. including even murderers of the
worst type, would have prevented the
Menocal administration. which sup
plants that Of President Jose Gomez
on May 20, from prosecuting the graft
ers who are charged with having loot
ed the official treasury of Cuba. This
would entirely destroy the credit of
the Cuban republic. since means OF
guaranteeing Cuban loans have been
largely impaired by the wanton ex-
cesses Of political grafters. In turn
the United States would be held d.
rectly responsible for the credit of the
island republic through having a de
gree Of supervisory power over its
finances.
Secretary Bryan won his first tilt
with Cuba over this matter On the

in reference to Mexico. The secre.
tary Of state was called upon to In.
vestigate serious charges Of improprie.
ty on the part Of American officials in
Mexico and the charges of conspiracy
on the part Of American capital to-
ward bringing about the recent revo-
luton in that country.

President Wilson. a complete investi-
cation Of Mexican affairs. stgnifying
that be intended to probe to the very
bottom all the causes Of the revolt.
all the actions Of American officials
and all the reports relating to Ameri-
can capitalists In Mexico.
Principal among the early charges
against Ambassador Wilson were the
assertions that he had openly douted
the Madero government. fostered the
Diaz uprising and finally had approx
ed the act Of Huerta in removing Ma
dero from Office and bad asked that
recognition be giyen the provisional
president with undue and positively
indecent haste.
Ambassador Wilson denies the charge
and asserts he could not avoid recog-
MIXING Huerta. an the latter was the
only constituted authority.

cording to the deed Of gift governing
the cup races. the yachts may be of
any length between sixty-five feet and
ninety feet on the water line. Sir
Thomas sent similar challenge In
1907 through the Royal Irish Yacht
club. naming a yacht Of eighty feet tn
length.
Sir Thomas has always objected
strenuously to the rule requiring that
the challenging yacht traverse the
ocean under its own sail He contend
ed that such q voyage was hazarding
the lives Of the sailors because OF. the
frailness Of the racing vessel and was
seriously harmful to the yacht. He
contended that the great sea waves
invariably knocked the racing lines OF
the vessel out of true.
Speaking Of the dangers of the trip,
be said:
my designer. Charles E. Nicholson
OF Gosport. England. holds out good
hope Of success without risking the
lives OF the crew Of the yacht while
crossing the ocean. which always has
been the danger with the kind Of boats
necessary to build under the deed of
gift. Had the designer not assured
me OF the perfect safety Of the men
during the crossing | should not hare
considered the idea Of challenging Tor
the cup"
Sir Thomas added that 1t was neces-
sary to put of the race until 1914, as
1t would take him all that time to
build his yacht and get ready. He
might. he said. In fact. build two yachts,
although It was possible he would use
the present Shamrock w., which had
won seven out Of eight International
faces In which she had competed in
Germany last season and twenty-three
out OF thirty local races
The general impression in America
Ii that one Of the chief reasons for the
long delay In challenging by Upton
was due to the fact that be. in com
mon with other yachtsmen in England,
could End no designer whom he thought
capable Of building a successful chal

Lipton's Challenge and
Its Rejection Matter

~REAT excitement prevailed in
yachting circles and the Amer

ly interested when the recent
challenge by Sir Thomas Upton for
fourth chance to contest for the Amer

this challenge. naming objections to

baronet. a wave of disappointment was

But it was quickly learned that pos
sibiities of another great international

were far from gone. An unidentified
