amy rate. in view OF the result in Ala

would do well to decline the mongrel
domination from ST. Louis and pay no
attention TO the vaporings Of Mr.. Tom
Watson. The Democratic ticket is Bryan

VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN ROW.
viruinians here are awaiting with a
considerable degree Of interest the out
come Of the meeting Of Colonel Lamb and
his Virginia opponents at national ke-
urblcan headquarters in New York to-
dav. They will undoubtedly patch up
some sort Of treaty Of peace but 1t Is not
so clear that the anti-Lamb faction VIII

A prominent Republican here to-day
made the prediction that Bowden would
withdraw his opposition 20 DR.. Richard
Wise Lambs friend as the nominee of
the Republican party in the Second Dis
trict. and that Colonel Brady would
make certain concessions In the Fourth
District. and the Allan-Waddil people
in The Third District. which would so
placate Lamb that he would consent 10
act with the managing committee in
conducting the campaign. Other Re
Duhiicans assert that Colonel Lamb viii

REPORT FROM GENERAL LEE.
There is more than suspicion here
hal the President has received the long
cooked for report on the war situation In
Cuba from General Fitzhugh Lee. This,
In the minds OF some who are closely
watching the drift Of events. political and
otherwise. has grown into the proper
tons Of a well-developed and strong i'm
preston based upon the most accurate
calculations. and upon recent whispered
utterances and impending signs of the
times. 10 IS regarded by many here con-
versant with diplomatic usages and
methods that the recent proclamation Of
The President Was issued upon the report
Of General Lee, and that IL was deemed
absolutely necessary TO require a strict
enforcement Of the neutrality laws 1t IS
the second proclamation TO the same
eject made recently. and will show 10
the world, and 20 Spain particularly, that
this government has been acting fairly
and squarely in all matters relating TO
The war in Cha. II may and will likely
be the last Of such proclamations, and
while nothing may be done Immediately,
or FOR some time 10 come. there is an
abiding and well-founded opinion that the
recognition Of the belligerent rights of
the Cubans win follow. and probably in
good time before the November elections.
