ROOTS CUBAN MISSION
The Secretary TO Leave for Havana
This Afternoon.
His Trip Alleged to Be for His
Health. But Relieved to Have Some
Connection with InsuIar Politics.
Two Weeks 10 BE spent in the
Principal Cities ss@the Island

Secretary Root viii leave at
o'eIeck this afternoon for fortnight's
srip- through Southern Cuba. He will sail
by zoae Of the Ward liners from New York
tomorrew His decision to make the
journey at this time comes as 3 surprise.
It is also ar object of much mysterious
speculation. The trip so the announce
ment is made. Is solely for the benefit q
the Secretary's shattered health Assur-
snee is freely offered in official circles
that there IS no political significance 10
the Journey.
Despite all these avowaIs. II is deemed
certain that the trip IS planned to give
the Secretary a personal Insight into the
Cuban attitude toward the United States.
The Constitutional Convention of the ISL
aud is now in session at Havana That
body has been called upon to suggest the
political relations that should exist be-
tween the United States and the independ-
ent Government Of Cuba. TIE recommen-
datiou Of the convention must be submit
ted for approval to the American Govern
1nent
It IS belie7ed that the mission of Secre-
tary Root on his present trip through Cuba
viii be TO decide on what concessions in
The way Of insuIar autonomy may be made
BY the Mckinley Administration.
Mr.. Root. so Administration officials say
just now Is the most important figure IN
the Cabinet He it is, they declare, VII,
holds the Presidents ear and advises him
On all Questions of policy. and they do not
regard it as strange that Nr. Root should
be selected to undertake this expedition
Mr.. Root, accompanied by his son, viii
leave New York tomorrow for Havana 1t
is not announced how long they viii stay
there, but the visit will be brief, as a tour
of the principal Cuban cities on the south
coast of the island only is planned. Mr
Root viii also spend short time on the
Isle OF Pines, which has some fame as q
health resort. One Of the Government
steam yachts in Cuban waters viii be put
in service, and he viii do a little fishing
from 1t.
The projected visit of Mr.. Root was one
of the subjects Of discussion at the Cabinet
meeting this morning The President and
his advisers in the Cabinet are awaiting
with keen interest the report that the Sec
retary Of War will make on Cuban poll
tics.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-There has been des-
perate fighting between the British and
the Beers in the vicinity of Bothaville-
Both sides suffered severely. The burgh-
ers were defeated and retreated in the
greatest haste, but not until they had

wounded seven others. and inflicted other
damage on General Roberts troops.
The British Commander-in-Chiefr reports
that both Steyn and De Wet were with the
Beers at the time of the engagement. The
British failed to trap the burgher army,
because it broke into small detachments
during the retreat and was thus enabled
TO elude the English.
