STRIKE SITUATION BETTER ln vcrn men t Takes Firm Stand aitrt ReprpsiCN all IHxorderM. Washington, November 25. A cable gram received at the state department toda- from Minister Squiers at Havana reports that the government is taking a firm stand and that the strike situa tion is better. Senor Quesada, the Cu ban minister, called at the state depart ment today and talked over the situa tion with Secretary Hay. The condi tions in Havana are being watched with the closest interest here where it is be lieved that the ability of the Cuban gov ernment to maintain law and order and adequately safeguard the heavy in vestment of foreign capital at Ilarana is about to be subjected to a severe test. The interest of the United States in the matter lies in the fact that by the terms of the Piatt amendment this government is made responsible for the maintainance of these safe guards in the event that the Cuban gov ernment itself fails.

Mrs. DOLBY'S TALKS Thinks the Deacon's Too Vivid For a Church Member Copyright, 1302. by C. B. Lewis. EVERAL little things had hap pened during the day to cause Deacon Dolby to look forward to a seance after the supper dishes had been cleared away, and when the hour finally arrived he was as ready as he could be to take what was in store for hira. He sat down In his rocking chair in tLe sitting room, pulled off his .shoes and had been reading testimonials about a new patent windmill for ten minutes when Sirs. Dolby softly began: "Samuel Dolby, just after breakfast this morning you went to the barn. Something was the matter with the stable door. When it would not open, you banged and kicked and muttered, and after five minutes you picked up a big stone and smashed at the door with all your might. At the same time you said something. I was too far off, and you saw me and didn't repeat It, but I want you to tell me right here and now what it was. Certain rumors SOMETHING WAS THE MATTEIi WITH THE STALLE Doui:." have reached my cars, and I want to know if there is any truth in them. Did you say 'pshaw, 's ugar' or or" The deacon had reached testimonial No. 4, and he became so deeply in terested that he forgot to answer the question. Had it been otherwise he might have been compelled to admit that his exclamation had neither "pshaw" nor "sugar" in it. Mrs. Dolby sat looking at a throe-quarter view of him lor two or three minutes and then continued: "At the dinner table today I asked you to pass the fried eggs. The plate Avas hot, and you bunion your fingers and dropped it with a crash. It was bad enough to have the plate broken and the contents spilled all over the tablecloth, but that was nothing to what you said. As the plate fell you yelled. As I didn't say anything at the time you probably thought I didn't pay attention, but I want you to know that I did. Samuel Dolby, you are a man fifty-nine years old, a deacon of the church and supposed to be a living ex ample before the wrld, and yet when you burned your fi0ors you yelled out, 'Tbunderationr Don't deny it, sir. I not only heard it, but I wrote it down on the pantry door as soon as I got up. It will remain there as long as we live In this house, and I shall never see it without having cold chills go over me. What have you got to say for your self?" He had nothing whatever to say, but something like a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He was thinking what he would have said had he stubbed his toe instead of burning his fingers. He could have defended the word "thunderation" as perfectly prop er under all occasions of sudden excite ment, but before he had made up his mind to do so Mrs. Dolby went on: "At 3 o'clock this afternoon I asked you to go tip into the garret ind get down my quilt frames while I went over to see Mrs. Green about fall pic kles. Jnst as I returned you fell down stairs with such a clatter that for a moment I thought the house had been struck by a cyclone. I was so excited and I came so near fainting away that I don't remember what you said, but I know you yelled out at least four times. Samuel, I want you to tell me exactly what you said. It was some thing dreadful, but perhaps under the circumstances I can excuse it, and you can make a fresh start. I know that a fall downstairs is a sudden thing, and It is liable to throw even a deacon off his balance. Did one of your expres sions refer to the bad place. Samuel?" All four of his yells were directly connected with the locality mentioned, as he distinctly remembered, but the deacon didn't propose to enter Into any arguments or discussions. He had said what he had said, and if Mrs. Dolby had any doubts about it then all the better for him, and he had made a safe escape of It He tried his best to become deeply Interested in testimonial No. C, which stated that the "None Such windmill" onl. needed the breath of a sleeping babe to set It In motion, and after heaving a few sighs over the general situation Mrs. Dolby brought forward the last of fense: "When I was ready to set, about get ting supper, I asked you to bring me In a pall of fresh water from the well. You went ont with the pail, and I suddenly heard some on shout out. I went to the door and found yon lying on yonr back on the ground. Ton had Btruck your too against the soap kettle and fallen down. I didn't say any thing, Banfoel not a word. I don't Pm ate! uf .' , think you even saw me. I xn not ask ing what you said when you fell down, because I think it was, Oh, my! But what I want explained is what you said later on, when you found the pump stuck fast. When you had worked away at the handle and the water wouldn't come, you Jumped up and down and kicked the pump and shouted: 4 it: it: nr three different times. I was having a chill, and my fingers were in my cars, and so I didn't catch the words, but I must know. You inut confess to me and trust me to forgive you if I can. What does a man say when he grab a pump handle and jumps up am down and looks red in the face? If you don't sieak right up and tell me, I shall think the very worst." The deacn laid down the circular as if he intended to make a full breast of the affair and depend upon Mrs. Dolby's wifely heart to forgive, but after a moment's thought he changed his mind and let his eyes fall upon the last testimonial. It was only ten lines long, and he read it over three times while she waited for his answer amid deep silence. By and by he yawned and stretched and got up on his feet, and. going over to the coal stove, he shut the drafts and carelessly ob served: "If you are going to make soft soap tomorrer, I guess we'd better get to bed a little early tonight" M.
