England?Violence to Cabinet Feared:
Fearing violence at the hands of either
the suffragettes or the army of unemployed,
last week's cabinet meeting was
held under precautions as rigid as those
in Russia. The ministers went to the
cabinet meeting in closed carriages.
When the last one had arrived, the police
closed Downing street at both ends
and stopped traffic. Thousands of unemployed
gathered at the ends of the street,
jeered and cried: "Give hb wnrt
?? 6J?C
us food." Several of the more rabid
were arrested.
Germany?The Emperor's Fiftieth
Birthday: Emperor William of Germany,
was fifty years old on January 27. Following
his new custom of obscuring himself
from the public gaze, he spent the
day in retirement. Many messages from
the heads of governments in other lands
arrived, congratulating the kaiser upon
his state of health and upon the peaceful
and prosperous condition of his country.
Despite his fifty years, the emperor looks
to be ten years younger. This fact is
attributed to his splendid system of exercise
and careful dieting. In contrast
to his former custom of public speaking
a?.u uaiemuuous display upon such occasions,
he remained at the imperial castle
the greater part of the day.
Cuba?The First President Inaugurated:
Jose Miguel Gomez was inaugurated first
president of the re-established Cuban
republic at a few minutes after noon on
January 28, and the American control of
insular affairs came to an end with the
departure of former Governor Magoon
and all the provisional officials. The
Americans left the harbor on warships
and transports immediately after the formal
turning over of the government to
the native officials. An immense crowd

Gomez stepped out on the palace
balcony and took the oath of office from
the ch'ef justice of the supreme court.
The president was surrounded by the
dignitaries of state and the members of
the diplomatic corps and the special envoys
in brilliant uniforms. The day was
intensely warm. Mr. Magoon called for
President Gomez at tre latter's residence
at 11:30 o'clock. He was accompanied
by two troops of the rural guard. There
was little or no cheering from the .holiday
throngs lining the thoroughfares, the
Cubans contenting themselves with raising
their hats as a joint salute to the
new president and the departing American
governor.
