CUBAN ELECTIONS.
NATloNALlsrs WIN IN HAVANA
Apparently Little Interest Taken md
Small Vote Cast-No Disorders Re-
ported.

Havana, June 17.-General Alejandro
Rodriguez, Nationalist, was YESTERDAY
elected mayor of Havana, polling g.
O73 votes against 6,034 cast for Selor
! Estrada Mora, Independent. The total
vote fell about 1890 below the regis.ra-
! tion.
The National party elected its entire
ticket, eighteen councilmen, the treas
urer, one correctional Judge and three
municipal judges. The other coIrec-
tional judsship fell to an Independent
candidate, as did also the fourth NUM-
cipal judgcship. OF the six other cum
| cilmen, four are Republicans and two
, Nationalists, who ran independently.
! Reports from every part of the island
go to show that perfect order prevail
ed at the polls. Not Il shot was ired
nor was there any sign of disturbance
anywhere.
To an American observer of the cleo
tion here it seemed as if the people re-
garded the whole matter with absolute
indiff ferencc. There was not even d
crowd in waiting to hear the result de-
clared. Not Il cheer was raised, nor
were there any of the ordinary indica-
tons of election excitement, although
! 4 demonstration in honor of the sue
cessful candidate will take place to-
night.
The victory of the Nationalist is
| chiefly due to the fact that they were
first in the field. and had the benefit
of Il well disciplined organization. But
as they only claimed to have about 49,
900 members. it is obvious that a large
| portion of the voting population of
| Havana, perhaps 10000, was not at
| tracted to the ranks of the party dur
| ing the year and n half prior to the
election. This is chiefly the result of
n lack of confidence in the party lead
| erS
Another fact demonstrated by the
election is the inability of the Repub-
lican leaders. headed by Juan Gualber-
to Gomez and Domingo Capote, with
| their organization and paper, La Dis
cussion. TO cut an important figure in
the politics of Havana. The Repub-
lican leaders have failed all along the
line to justify their numerous preten-
sions.
Senor Mora contends that he polled
n majority of the voters in the better
class districts, and he attributes the
triumph of the Nationalists to fraud
and the votes of the mob"
Impartial judges attribute the out
come to the hard work done by the Ma
tionalist leaders. General Rodriguez
declines to outline his plans. preferring
to wait until the Havana charter has
been made public, with its definition
of his powers.
Although the cry of the Nationalists
was that the people should choose the
revolutionary leaders because the work
of the revolution was not complete and
in order to prove to the Intervening
government that the people of Cuba
considered it incomplete, nevertheless
many of the leading councilmen elect
ed and two of those who We're most
anxious to secure the mayoralty are
not in any sense rcvolutionists. The
people also are asking where the pa
citicos are to come in.

At the Royal Technical school in
Charlottenhurg, Germany, Prof. Josse
has recently tested. with remarkable
results, a method of increasing the
efficiency OF steam engines, which was
invented by two Germans some ten
years ago, but has only now been eff
fectively applied. The principle de-
ponds upon the employment of the
exhaust steam from an ordinary com
pound engine to evaporate another
diquid having lower boiling point
than water. The liquid used is sui
phurous acid The heat of the exhaust
steam is sufficient to liberate sulphur
dIoxide gas, and this, passing into the
cylinder of an auxiliary engine, acts
the part of steam. 1t is afterwards
condensed and goes back to the yapor-
izer. The result is said to be that

Chicago, Dec. 25-Today another ef-
fort will be made to secure robust health
and strength for the little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Ogden Armour. This
little dark-eyed heiress to millions will
be subjected to one of the most heroic
operations known to the surgical world.
So frail a little creature was Lolita that
the first few months of her life were
spent in a glass and rosewood incu-
bator. In her entire four years she never
has walked. When Lolita first attempt
ed to use her little feet in walking she
suffered SO in her head and spine that
1t was feared that the latter was dis
eased.
x-RAYS WE'RE EMPLOYED.
The child's spine was subjected to x
rays This brought the unhappy knowl-
edge that the femurS did not fit into the
hip sockets by a distance of several
inches. 1t was then that DR.. John Rid
lon was called in to see the heir to the
Armour millions.
For six months past he has been
studying the case.
This afternoon little Lolita will be
subjected to an operation.
The little sufferer will be- given an
anesthetic. When thoroughly under its
influence her delicate little limbs will be
forced back into perfect articulation.
Then they will be held in place by a.
heavy plaster cast. This will be nodded
before she regains consciousness.
A PLASTER CAST
She will wear it for six long months.
AT least that is what DR.. Ridlon de-
clares is necessary for a perfect success
of the operation If it was found that
the little ones Sufer1ngS are too great

by having the plaster broken.
The Armour family feel that they are
taking great chances in the operate
but if the child can endure her plaster

Harvard has been hurt by the stories
that have gone out about her students

the story Is without foundation mere

companies. At any rate, there was only
one Harvard boy connected with IL. Tie

Within the last year four Harvard

It was left there, apparently, by some

on the letter paper of the Windsor hotel

Chicago, Dec. PA strike among
clerks of the registry division of the
general postof1ce yesterday menaeed for
time the prompt delivery of thousands
of Christmas gifts. Extra hours of work
was the grievance of a score of opera
tives who during the holiday rush have
been compelled to labor fourteen hours

justed by the postoffiee authorities. who
suspended the leader of the strikers.
The rank and file of the protesting clerks
then returned to their Iabors.
Superintendent Marr. of the registry
division, said: 1.-The mails were flooded
this year, and there is no other way
than to make the clerks work. We are
handling 16 per cent. more work this
year than in 1899. have thirty-six
men assisting the regular force, and I
would add still more but for the fact
that there are no experienced hands,
andwe cannot break in green ones. Some
of the employees complained to me, but
after explaining the situation they re-
turned to work, and I anticipate no fur
ther trouble. The leader Of the strikers
refused to work any longer and there
was no course left open for US but to
suspend him.

KILLED BY CARS
James Haywood, an Ex-SIave,
Loses His Life.

James A. Haywood, an old negro. was
run over and killed Monday evening by
an empty brick car on the Rock Island
track at the foot of Harrison street. The
accident happened about 4:30 in the af-
ternoon although no one saw it. The
body of the old man was discovered by
a boy named Charles Lunstrum who
was walking along the track. The boy
was greatly frightened. but recognized
the old man and ran at once to Hay
woods home and told his wife and son.
The old man was still alive when dis
covered and was carried at once to his
home where City Physician Hogeboom
and DR.. Mum, the Rock Island ply
sician, attended him He died in a short
time after their arrival
How he met his death is unknown
but it was evident that the car had
struck him and that he had been drag
ged short distance. He had left his
home but a few minutes before the ac-
cident occurred.
Haywood was an old slave and was
owned by a man in Missouri. He came
to Topeka about 80 years ago and has
resided here continuously. He lived at
113 Harrison street and worked by the
day with a team which he owned.
