CUBAN VESSEL STARTS FUSS.

Washington, June 5.-The pros
poets of an attempted blockade of
Tampico by the Huerta gunboats
took the position of chief interest in
the Mexican affairs here yesterday
and the administration officials in
formed of the latest development
only in the news dispatches, declin-
ed to indicate their policy, although
they were Informed by Admirals
Badger and Mayo of the situation.
1t is considered significant, howev-
er, that at the state department i'm
mediately after Tampico fell into
the hands of the constitutionalists,
it was announced all Mexican gulf
ports were considered "open" and
that was interpreted as a clear init
nation that no blockade would be
recognized. The steamer Antilla,
bearing arms for Carranza, and
which aroused the present situation,
flies the Cuban flag. What the Unit
ed States can do should the Huerta
gunboats attempt to interfere with
her, officials declined to say.

Most Influential Spanish Newspaper
Declares the Colonel Will Be
an Unwelcome Guest
in Spain.
THE AUTHORITIES FEAR MODS.
Every Precaution Will be Taken to
Avoid Hostile Displays Toward
Man Who Helped Conquer
Their Armies.

Madrid, Spain, June 5.-While the
Spanish authorities, from King AL
fonso down, are making strenuous
efforts to assure Colonel Roosevelt
a hearty welcome when he arrives
in this country for the wedding of
his son Kermit, there is a deep feel
ing among the Spanish people that
the visit is inopportune and distaste-
full.
How deep this feeling lies is
shown by an anti-Roosevelt editorial
printed yesterday in Ell impartial,
the most influential and widely read
paper in Spain.
Ell Imparcials editorial recalls
that Colonel Roosevelt fought as a
volunteer against the Spaniards and
declares that his actions were most
unfriendly to Spain. The paper also
reminds it's readers of the strong an
ti-Spanish sentiment which prevail
ed in the United States at that time,
and says that in a circus perform
ance in New York city trained
monkey was exhibited trampling on
the Spanish flag, to the huge de-
light of the audience.
Then in a bitter diatribe against
Colonel Roosevelt, Ell impartial de-
clares that his visit to Spain is un-
desirable. 1t demands in the name
of patriotism that the visit shall be
kept a strictly private affair.
The editorial is most unfortunate
in the opinion of the authorities.
There is much apprehension it
should inflame the Spanish people.
Orders have been given to the police
to take stern precautions against
any unseemly behavior on the part
of the public. If deemed necessary,
crowds will be packed with special
officers.
Because Ambassador Willard de-
sires to observe all the requirements
of the Spanish laws in respect to
foreign marriages, the magistrate
of the Buena Vista district will per-
form the civil marriage ceremony
for Miss Belle Willard and Kermit
Roosevelt on June TO-. The Ameri-
can embassy is situated in the Buena
Vista district, the most aristocratic
section of the city.
The minister of state suggested
the justice go to the American en-
bassy, but as the embassy is technic-
ally United States territory, room
has been fitted up in the magis-
trates residence for the ceremony.
The formal witnesses doubtless
will include Eduardo Dato, the Span
ish premier: the Marquis of Lena,
the minister of state; Myron T. Her.
rick, the American ambassador in
Paris, and Colonel Roosevelt. The
religious service will take place at
noon the next day in the chapel of
the British embassy. The chapel is
in pavilion in the embassy
grounds.

A physician was hurriedly sum-

believed should be outlawed by

the following Incident:
When II committee named by the
New York legislature. was investigat-
Ing the great Insurance. companies
some Years ago, 1t was found that the
Mutual ife Insurance G9rnpany held
great block of stock in, the New
Haven railroad system II was val
ued at more than 5000 share and
was paying excellent dividends. The
investigating committee decided.
however. that life insurance funds
should not be invested In that class
of securities and suggested to the
legislature that the company be com
PEELED to dispose OF its holdings with
in five years. The legislature ap-
proved the recommendation and
passed the necessary law TO carry It
into effect.
Then ii developed that J. Pierpont
Morgan controlled the Mutual Life
Insurance Company and through that
control was enabled to vote the COM
pany's block OF New Haven stock thus
securing the mastery OF New Eng
lands greatest railroad system. Mr.
Morgan wanted to continue his con-
tinue his control OF New Haven. and
therefore he directed the officials
of .he Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany to refuse to sell the company's S
New Haven stock. Instead they
slipped into the New York legislature
and secured the passage of a bill
which gave them ten years, instead
OF five to consummate the transac-
ton.
The net result of the deal is that
the life insurance company-and that
means the policy holders in that COM
pany-has sustained a loss OF more
than $4.000,000. II the life insur-
ance company had disposed OF its
New Haven stock at the end of the
five year period it would have Sc
cured more than 5000 a share. To-
day the stock is drag on the market
