NEW CANDIDATES APPEAR AN ATTACK ON MR. GIBSON 



NOTES FROM WASHINGTON. 



WARNING 



Governor Asbert has been 



Political asked to join in the labor of 



Talk .unifying the Liberal Party. 



He is willing to help, but 



wants the nomination for vice-president as 



his portion. 



Governor IManduley of Oriente Province, 

 who was nominated at the convention some 

 months ago for second place is willing to 

 resign in the interests of party unity. 



Those who happen to know what the 

 contents were of a recent note from Wash- 

 ington, says La Liicha, aver that the 

 language was something like this : 



"It makes no particular difference to us if your 

 Cuban friends should wish to re-elect you to a 

 new presidential period; but as this administration 

 knoyvs even the most insignificant detail in con- 

 nection with the tremendous financial disaster in 

 which you have placed your country, the moment 

 that your people in the exercise of their sovereign 

 rights, which we shall not hinder in the least, 

 should re-elect you to the presidency of the re- 

 public, the United States in the use of the rights 

 and responsibilities assumed with regard to the 

 solvency and well-being of that nation under the 

 terms of the existing treaties, shall send a super- 

 vising commission which shall take charge of the 

 treasury of your country and you will not be able 

 to lay your hand on a single cent in the Cuban 

 treasury." 



It is perfectly well known in Havana, 

 says the Herald, that through its legations 

 here the Washington government has also 

 officially protested against the projected 

 petroleum monopoly and the Zapata swamp 

 project — and killed both schemes. 



An arbitration board composed of one 

 member from each political party and pre- 

 sided over by Secretary Laredo Bru, will 

 settle all differences which may arise con- 

 cerning the coming elections in November. 

 This board, formed at the request of Presi- 

 dent Gomez, will not be under the jurisdic- 

 tion or control of the electoral boards. 



The bolters within the Liberal Party 



may hold another convention and place a 

 complete new ticket in the field. 



All chances of unifying the party seem 

 to be gone and a new convention and new 

 candidates mean a new party, all of which 

 mightily interests the Conservatives who 

 believe that many factions can only con- 

 duce to the success of their party's ticket. 



Stability. 



If the Republic falls from pedestal there is a 

 reason: — don't blame the "Yankee," but the goat 

 (graft). jr_^ Estahilidad. 



Si cae del pedestal Habra motivo: Que no se 

 culpe al "Yankee" sino al chiro. — La Lucha.
