Havana. The Cuban government is
adopting plans to prevent other out
breaks similar to the recent uprising
or toe banditti In Santa Clara prov
Ince. It expects to be so firmly in-
trenched In authority that should ac
tual revolution occur It can be put
down quickly. President Menocal has
announced be Mill not brook armed op
position to his administration, and
those who attempt It will have their
necks 'twisted." The administration
has quietly prepared Itself should con-
fiict occur. The army is generally re
garded as loyal.
It is known that about 15.000 rifles
aad many thousaud rounds of annua
nltion are scattered over the island,
supposrdly In the hands of the Liber
als. wo are opposing the admtnlstra-
tion. Information from the national
palace says the Island has been care
fully "gone over" by government se
cret service men and every move of
the opiwsltlon is known. "There can
be no uprising of any consequence,"
they say. Besides the armed forces,
the administration baa the backing of
the majority of the Cuban Veterans'
association of the War of Independ
ence. The veterans number about 20,
000 men and are widely scattered.
The central camp is in Havana. Gen

their services to the president last
spring when rumors of revolution were
rife.
President Menocal has not yet been
able to secure the passage through con
gress of the bill providing for the na.
tioual loan of $ I. 1000.000.
Dr Alfredo Zayus. leader of the Lib
erals, has given out u statement say-
, ing his party was acting for the best
interests of Cuba and would not force
a conflict If onp came, however, the
consequences would be upon the beads
of Conservatives, the party of Menocal.
Colonel Orestes Ferrara, ex-speaker
and at present the "strong man" of the
Cuban congress, has declared himself
against the proposed national loan of
$15,000,000 and some other policies of
the administration. He has thrown
down the gantlet to Menocal and de
clares the loan will not be allowed to
pass congress. He exerts great influ
ence in Cuban political and legal af
fairs. Colonel Kerrara said he was not a
party to the rumored compromise be
tween the political factious whereby
the government would repay English
investors amounts Invested In the
Torts company of Cuba In return for
Liberal support for the loan measure.
In fact be did not believe the Liber
als would be u party to such an agree
ment "I am not opposed to anything that
tends to upbuild Cuba and Its national
credit." he said.

Konetchy Best First Sacksr.
The National league fielding aver
ages for the season of 1013 show a
number of changes In the standing of
players as compared with the records
of the previous year. Konetchy of St
Louis moved from fourth to first place.

.095, while Jake Daubert of Brooklyn,
who led the league in 1012, dropped to
second place, four points below Konetchy.
Tommy Leach of Chicago leads the
outfielder with .990 for 129 games, al
though Booe of Pittsburgh is the tech
nical leader, with 1.000 for 22 games.
Leach showed a big improvement over
his 1912 performance, gaining twelve
points in percentage, although playing
32 more games.
Grover Alexander of Philadelphia !
given first place among the fielding
pitchers of the league, with a perfect
percentage for 47 games. Frorome,
Cincinnati and New York; Rlxey,
Philadelphia; CrandalL New York; Mc
Quillan, Pittsburgh, and Burk, St.
Louis, are all In the 1.000 class, with
Alexander, although pitching a num
ber of games less than be did.
In the club fielding Philadelphia Is
ranked first with .903, and St Louli
comes second, three points below them.
Pittsburgh is third, with .904, and
New York. Cincinnati and Brooklyn
are all tied for fourth place with .901.
Snake Ames Now in Power.
At the fall meeting of the athletic
board of control at Princeton uulver-
sity Knowlton Ames, '90. familiarly
known as Snake, was elected chair
man of the graduate advisory football
committee for 1914. The resignations
of Ross McCIave, '03, and Phil King,
93. were accepted. Donald C. Her
ring. '07. and Barclay Farr, '12, were
re-elected to serve with Ames.
The vacancies caused by the resigna
tion of McCIave and King were not
fiiled. Both Herring and I'arr are ad
vocates of the open style game, while
Ames is the upholder of the kicking
me In open work. Should the two
other members who will be elected In
the future be for the open game the
Tigers doubtless will resort to that
style of football In place of the con
servative old style game to which they
have held so tenaciously and which
has been the cause of much adverse
criticism.

Tammany ts the oldest political tnstl

pamtlvely rare Intermissions has ruled
New York city more than a century

Mooney himself was modest In the
amount of his embezzlements, but when
Tweed came Into power as Tammany's
boss the city treasury was looted by
blm and bis associates of over $ 100,000,

Tweed, after several years' control of
the big political machine retired sev

enjoyed by the present boss, Charles
V. Murphy, is tM-lleved to surpass that
of Croker.
Murphy's career as boss has been
singularly successful In some ways and
unsuccessful In others. No previous
boss ever succeeded lu becoming state

CHAItLES F. MUlll'ttY, BOSS OF TAM1IAVT
HALL.
the state. Wood's rule was confined
entirely to New York city, and while
Tweed bossed the legislature for
awhile, he never assumed the title of
state leader.
Murphy has done that, but he has
been the most unsuccessful of Tain
muiiy's bosses in try lug to control the
politics of the city. lie Is the only
boss of Tammany Hull who never suc
ceeded in electing u single mayor who
would be subservient to his will. Mur
phy's real boss-ship began In HKi.'l. In
which year George It. McClellan was
elected mayor, but neither McClellan
nor his successor. Judge Oaynor, was
tractable to Murphy's rule. Now the
control of city affairs, since the last
election, has passed entirely from Mur
phy's Influence, and his fall from pow
er seems Imminent He Is being at
tacked both within his own organiza
tion and without, and his foes think
his downfall sure.
The attitude of the administration at
Washington, according to current be
lief. Is by no means favorable to Mur
phy or to Tammany, for President
Wilson has not consulted any of the
Tammany leaders in making political
appointments, und It is quite apparent
thut Tammany's Influence bus not been
felt In a political way In the cap
ital city. Like the Huerta provisional
government In Mexico, It has not been
"recognized" by the Washington ad
ministration. Mr. Wilson hns not op
pointcd Tammany riion to office, nor
has he or any of his associates called
Into political conference any leader or
member of the Tammany organization.
It Is perfectly well known thut the
Incoming New York city administra
tion and President Wilson are at one
with respect to their ntt.ll.ude toward
Tnmmiuiy Hull, It Is the clear under
standing of the administration that no
man nlflllatcd with Tammany or no
man friendly to Tammany will be ap
pointed to office or shown nny political
consideration by Mr. Mltcbel and his
associates. Tammany is to be starved
out of existence, or nt least a serious
attempt to drive It from Its lulr Is
about to be mado.

Editor Hudson Devises an Interesting
Scheme of Keeping His Readers In
formed as to the Revolution Without
Giving Huerta an Cxcuse to Suppress
His Newspaper,
O. Henry In one of his stories of
i.id I n America told of a young man
who wished to cable nil account of
the revolution mid lu order to puss
the censor put his message In good
old American slang. It Is a I most lu
the same way, says the Kansas City
Slur, that Paul Hudson, editor of
the Mexican Herald, published In
Kngllsh lu the City of Mexico, la tell
ing the truth a Unit conditions without
giving Huerta an excuse to suppress
his paper. It would seem that there
are a very few Americans left in the
vupiful and that those few are fur
from feeling secure. As he expresses
It lu his dully humorous column:

The following are culled from tile

Our Idea of crude work Is to hold up a

Possibly It's the. cat In Zacatecas that
(fives It so many lives.
Anyhow the full of Juarex will not be so
severe a blow as If this wero her llrst of

One Is put.imt in the bank, and the other
Is a girl.
It Is an unfortunate f.-ct that the pastor

Hard lines. Owlmj to the bad times and
the limitations In the sealinm capacity In
the largest bull ring In the world only
some twenty odd thousand were able to
sen the fight yesterday.
Klght American and a few other battle
ships at Vera Cruz on a visit of courtesy
do remind one somewhat of the mother-in-law
Jokes.
We rather like tho examination paper
definition to the effect that "a fratricide
Is a man who kills a college student."
It Is difficult to tell with all those whisk
ers whether Mr. C'nrrnnzn keeps a straight
face when he says all those things.
Ruining the embargo on arms would raise
a lot of that short and ugly definition of
war.
A traveler who has Just returned from
the coast region of Jalisco reports tho dis
covery of nutlves over there who never
heard of the revolution and who had no
Idea that Porflrlo Diaz was not president.
The prompt solicitude of Washington
for Moxlcan officials or any one named
Madoro In trouble Is touching.
The Sondra rebel government evidently
beljoves In reciprocity and has voted an
export tax on cattle that Just balances
the Import tax removed by the new Amer
ican tariff law.
Possibly they shouldn't have anything
to say In manors of International policy,
but If the foreign "material Interests"
were removed from some countries the
modicum of progress and prosperity would
SJlfor on appreciable diminution.
