Philadelphia, June 1.-The Ledger in

Based on a canvass Of every county in
the state an estimate is made that in a
contest for the control of the republican

While the above estimate may not be
absolutely accurate. It is believed that II
shows the relative strength of both fac
tions at the present time, and the figures
cannot be successfully questioned 10 IN
extent that would change the result II
will be seen that Gov. Hastings and his
friends have just a majority of the state
convention, and II they can hold these
they Will have absolute control of that

eleven delegates from counties not heard
from, they would have IA delegates, or
one less than a majority"

New York. July 1-Segundo Alvarez,
mayor of Havana. Cuba, arrived this
morning in New York city. Mayor Al
varez, who is the largest cigar
factor in Havana, makes serious
charges against the United States govern
ment in regard to the neutrality laws. He
says: THE government and people OF the
United States are either blind or ignorant
regarding the present revolution in Cuba.
Your president has issued a proclamation
enforcing the neutrality laws. but in di-
rect violation of these laws you permit
daily. You allow military drills to take
place at Key West and Tampa. You toll
crate the drilling Of military companies
within your territory to aid the insurgents
against your good faith in your treaty
with Spain. OF course, the people and the
government of the United States are not
entirely to blame for this state of affairs.
There are a great many Cubans. promi-
nent in business and politics, who come to
your country and become citizens simply
for the purpose of arousing friendly senti-
ment here. They do not renounce their
citizenship in Cuba.

Cause of RiOrdan's Death.

DIR. TOtman Again Explains the
Cause of RiOrdan's Death.
Syracuse. N. Y, July 1.-Expert testi-
mony was introduced in the Fitzsimmons
trial for manslaughter this morning, and
DIR. D. NJ. Totman was again required to
state what he considered the cause of
Rordan's death. Again he swore that
1t was concentrated violence on the mans
jaw. Then the expert was asked if the
rigors and convulsions which Riordan
showed on falling to the stage after
Fitzsimmons' blows We're not due to con-
cussion of the brain and laceration OF
the brain tissues. He said they were due
to three causes. The laceration at the
base of the brain the physician consid-
cred fatal in itself. The question as to
whether or not a short quick, rapid blow,
delivered by boxing gloves weighing six
to ten ounces, upon the jaw of a man,
is likely to produce severe bodily injury,
was objected to and the objection was
sustained, which was victory for the de-
fense.
After the recess, Drs. Didama, Kauf-
mann and Smith, all of whom were pres
ent at the autopsy, testified that in their
opinion death was caused by the blow that
was given. Each of the doctors was sub
jected to a severe cross examination, but
none could be swerved from the statement
made in the direct testimony. The case
will be resumed tomorrow.
