leaders of the former military assembly.

are willing to work unitedly 1t is COM
posed of three classes-members of the
army, civilians, who acted as agents in
the Cuban cities during the war. and
those who were deported by the Span
iards
Headquarters will be here and in San
tiago and central committees will be es-
tablished in the capitals of the various
provinces
At meeting, held to-day at the Union
Club, an important organization. includ-
ing some of the best people of Havana.
political matters were discussed. Among
those present were several appointees of
Gov. Gen. Brooke, but they took no part
in the discussion.
One speaker, Cuban officer who took
up good deal of the time of the meeting
said Gen. Brooke was following wrong
course in giving politicians government
positions, while military men were getting
nothing.
This method" he declared will event.
ually lead 10 trouble. Those who defended
the country deserve recognition, and will
tire of being constantly ignored"
Another speaker said only those having
influence with Secretary Anger through
Washington connections are able to secure
appointments, and there are some of those
who were not in Cuba during the war.

club, and also of an exclusive social club

club not being satisfactory No finaf de-
cision was reached as to whether the

entity; but the latter will be formed first.
committee was appointed with instruc-
tions to try to buy the franchises of the
present American club. If the Jockey club
should be joined in the enterprise il is pro-
posed TO offer prizes large enough to at
tract good horses from the United States

at NV Orleans. The Idea would be to
have a seven day meeting, with prizes ag-
| gregating $35, 600, the highest being 900

HARDIN's MAsTERFUL STROKE.
But stiH There Is No Sign of Set
tIement at Louisville.

Louisville. June %-Up to late hour
tonight there is no sign of agreement be-
tween any two candidates for Governor,
and it seems the first ballot tomorrow
will result just about as did the eleventh
on Saturday night.
Candidates and their managers have
been on the ground all day out of one
conference into another, but so far to no
purpose. The 1902 delegates in the dele
cation are divided so nearly equally that
there is no difference of thirty votes in the
strength of the three candidates-Stone,
Goebel and Hardin.
A noteworthy feature of the contest is
the Hardin campaign. Coming into the
convention with hundred votes short
of a majority of the delegates, beaten at
every point In the temporary organiza-
ton, and weakened by adverse decisions
by the credentials committee involving
scores of seats, the Hardin managers,
with consummate cleverness, jumped into
the fight when the game seemed lost, with
drew the name of Gen. Hardin and left
Goebel and Stone to fight it out These
two fell into the trap and flew at each
others throats, with the result that when
the convention adjourned last night Goe-
bel and Stone had split and Hardin on
the last ballot stood second in recorded
votes
