An Havana dispatch, carried by
the Associated Press, says: Presi
dent Jose Miguel Gomez signed the
amnesty bill in spite of the energetic
protests handed the Cuban govern
ment by United States Minister
Beaupre. President Gomez, in a
statement issued after he had placed
his signature to the amnesty bill,
said that ho "felt compelled to com
ply with the wishes of the Cuban
people as expressed by the large ma
jority in tho Cuban congress favor
ing the bill." He added that he de
sired to leave further discussion of
the matter to diplomatic channels.
In the meantime instructions will be
issued to proceed immediately with
the release of all prisoners included
within the terms of the bill.
To this the Washington corres
pondent for the Associated Press
says: Protest to American Minister
Beaupre, made to President Gomez,
was directed by the present adminis
tration and is taken as an indica
tion that whatever the policy of
President Wilson will be in regard
to the other Latin-American re
publics, there is not likely to be any
relinquishment of the responsibili
ties for the administration of law
ana oraer in uuua under tne terms
of the special treaty between the two
countries.
tainty since the democrats gained
control.
The result of the election caused
considerable stir, the friends of
Senator Bacon feeling that he had
not been fairly treated.
At the afternoon session, Senator
Smith tendered his resignation as a
member of the steering committaa f
which he had been appointed recent
ly. Senator Smith, who had been
especially zealous in his support of
Senator Bacon, said he felt that his
colleague had been made to suffer on
his account He was induced to with
draw the resignation later, but not
untfl there had been a general dis
cussion of tho affair.
Senator Bacon himself said he had
been unprepared for the defeat be
cause he had not known there was
any other aspirant for the office. He
added that if he had been informed
that any other person desired the
honor he would have withdrawn from
the race.
Promptly on March 4th Henry
Lane Wilson, American ambassador
to Mexico, sent his resignation to
President Wilson.
