The president Of Cuba Is Gen. Mario

of all. What he accomplished in his

lie of Coba has given him a reputation

COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS AT new YORK

The appointment Of Dudley Field
Malone as collector of customs at the
port Of New York, is fraught with pc
litical interest. Malone, who is a SON
in-law of Senator OGorman, is a par
ticular favorite of President Wilson
and also of Secretary Bryan and was
sent from Washington. where he is as
sistant secretary OF state, to New
York to speak for John Purroy Mitch
ell during the recent mayoralty cam
paign. Senator O'Gorman was a sup
porter of Mccall and he was not con-
suited when the name of Malone was
sent to the senate for the New York
collectorship.
The naming Of Malone for the New

will cooperate with Mayor Mitchell
and most probably Governor Glynn In
the reorganization of the Democratic
party in the state. This means that
