CUBA WILL REPAIR
MAINE MONUMENT
Machado Notifies Spanish War
Veterans Here of Task Be-
ing Undertaken

President Machado Of Cuba has or
dered that the Maine Monument at
Havana, badly damaged in the recent
storms, be repaired at once.
This news was communicated to
the national headquarters of the
Spanish War Veterans here by the
Cuban embassy, after a cable had
been received from the President.
President Machado's action was
hastened by news that the Spanish
War Veterans of Florida, at a Roose-
Welt birthday celebration at st. Peters
burg. had passed resolutions to con-
tribute funds for repairing the monu-
ment.
The news was communicated here
to James j. Murphy, quartermaster
general. The cable from the Cuban
President follows:
kindly inform the Spanish-Ameri-
can War Veterans that President
Machado, on learning of the adoption
Of resolutions at the St. Petersburg
celebration of Roosevelt's birthday to
contribute funds for the reconstruc-
ton of the Maine Monument. hastens
to assure them how much he appre-
ciates their sympathetic proof toward
Cuba, but that he does not wish to
give up the honor Of repairing that
relic, which symholizes the union be-
tween our two countries, the upkeep
Of which has been intrusted to the
Cuban people. Several days ago the
President ordered the immediate re-
pair of the damages caused to the
monument, which work Is already be-
ing carried out. Communicate this de-
cision to the high officials of the

QUARREL NEW CLUE
IN bRUNl,ER DEATHS
British AikaIi Aagnate and
Wife Said to Have Differed
Over Business Deal.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. November 5.-Quarrels
due to his Secrecy concerning busi-
ness deals were among the surmises
today as the cause of the tragic
deaths of Roscoe Brunaer. alkah
magnate and his wife.
They were killed Wednesday in
The cottage of their daughter, Prin-
cess Ferdinand OF Leichtenstein, at
ROehamptOn.
The newspapers deduce that Brun-
ner shot his wife and then committed
suicide Pending an inquest Monday
there had been no official statement
A pistol was in his hand when the
bodies were found.
The Daily Mail says there had been
quarrels over what Drummer regarded
as his wife's eXtravagant dress and
amusements and over the wife's re-
sentiment Of his secrecy concerning
his commercial transactions.
The firm Of Drummer. Mond & Co.
recently became a member Of one of
the largest industrial combines ever
formed in Great Britain, with capt.
tai Of 500. goo oo0.
Last june. prior to the merger,
Drummer resigned from the firm on
the plea OF iu-haalth. Mrs. Drummer
then felt that She was disgraced, the
newspapers say. She would never
agree that his retirement was due en-
tirely To- health, but insisted that it
was brought about partly by an I'M
fortunate business deal, involving
payment by the firm of some $25,-
600, ,Q00 the onuS OF which Mr.. Brun-
ner. as chairman of the firm, in
sisted upon taking upon himself.
1t Is asserted that Mrs. Drummer sew
eral days ago visited certain business
offices and expressed her feelings
freely upon the firms affairs and her
husbands retirement from Il. Brun-
ner Learned Of this. Returning home
Wednesday evening, he complained an

editor Tuesday night to talk with him
about the merger of Ler husband 5

British Dyestuffs Corporation and the
United Alkali Co. manufacturers Of
chemicals. dyestuffs, explosives and
allied commodities.
She remarked that her husbands
name was not in the story OF the
merger. She told how she had aided
her husband in building up The Brun-
ner Murd business and added that the
conlps ny. workers in Norwich We're
certain TO suffer by the merger, as
"combines are SoulleSS."
Concerning her automobile parked
in front Of the Herald, she remarked,

it, he explained, was merely to give
him an exit from the alley. The old

coin rented four months before the
tragedy, now will he converted into q
modern garage. 1t is two stories high
and in need of renovating.
While the building itself is said to
be valueless for other than garage pur-
poses. the lot on which it stands Is
valuable. It's sale yesterday gave rise
to rumors that Ford's Theater, also
used by the War Department, may be

be granted by Congress unless public
