CUBAN ELECTIONS.
NArloNALlsrs WIN in HAVANA
Apparently Little Interest Taken and
Small Vote Cast-No Disorders Re-
ported.

Havana, June 17.-General Alexandra
ttoorlguez, Nationalist, was yesterday
elected mayor of Havana, polling 13,-
073 votes against 6,O34 cast for Senior
Estrada Mora, Independent. The total
vote fell about 4,5OO below the registra-
ton.
The National party elected It's entire
ticket, eighteen councilmen, the treas
urer, one correctional judge and three
municipal judges. The other correc-
tional judgship fell to an Independent
candidate, as did also the fourth munl-
cipal judgeship. or the six other coun-
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 q shot was fired
nor was there any sign of disturbance
anywhere.
To an American observer Of the cleo
ton here 1t seemed as IL the people re-
garded the whole matter with absolute
Indifference. There was not even a
crowd In waiting to hear the result de-
clared. Not cheer was raised, nor
were there any of the ordinary indica-
tons Of election excitement, although
demonstration In honor Of the sue
cessful candidate will take place to-
night.
The victory of the Nationallsts Is
chiefly due to the fact that they were
first in the field, and had the benefit
of well disciplined organization. But
as they only claimed to have about 49,.
600 members, 1t 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 half prior to the
election. This Is chiefly the result of
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.
Senior Mora contends that he polled
majority of the voters In the better
class districts, and he attributes the
triumph Of the Nationallsts 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 NatlonalIsts
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 1t incomplete, nevertheless
many of the leading councilmen elect
ed and two OF those who were most
anxious to secure the mayOralty are
not In any sense revolutionists. The
people also are asking where the pa
cificos are to come in.

GOLD DUST FROM DAWSON.
Retaining Miners Report = Product o

Retaining Miners Report Product OF
oaB.OOO,OOO This Year.
Seattle, Wash, June 1.-THE steam
er Dirtgo, arrived from Lynn canal
this evening, having on board eighty
nve PASSENGERS who brought down
about 100000 In gold dust. The steam
er's officers report 100 passengers at
bennett, who were unable to reach
Skagway In time to catch the Dirigo.
These, 1t is reported at the Skagway
offices Of the steamship company, are
bringing out very large amount of
gold, greater, 1t is said, than any party
Of similar size that has yet arrived.
The largest owners of gold dust on
board the Dirigo were the Mcdonald
brothers Of Seattle, Rolly and Donald.
The former has $50 pounds, valued at
$4,000, and the latter 140 pounds, val
ued at $4,000. Charles Hutchinson
brought out 200 pounds, valued at $42,-
OOO. The balance of the shipment Is
owned by the remaining passengers In
sums ranging from 5000 up.
The passengers declare that this sum-
mer's output from the Klondike will
be much larger than last and estimates
are made all the way from S25, 100000
to $4O,O00,O0O. AS yet they say the
cleanup has not started this way, and
probably will not until after July 18th.
The latest advices from the gold
bearing districts remote from Dawson,
1t Is said, show that the cleanup is al
most double the amount first reported.
Bonanza creek, 1t is stated, will send
out SS,OO0,OOO to $40, 100000, which will
be the largest amount coming from
my Of the creeks.
The Dawson banks, 1t is said, have
taken In about S2,OOO.OOO already, and
when the Dirigo's passengers left were
buying very heavily every day.
In the city of Dawson business was
lively. There was no scarcity Of labor,
although every man who wanted to
was working at good wages. Food
prices were beginning to drop and the
general belief was that before another
month Seattle prices for ordinary COM
modities would prevail.

Philadelphia, June 1S.--It has been
day of conferences on the vice presi-
dental situation.
Among the men to see Senator Han
ma were chairman 0dell of the New
York. committee. and l.. 4. Quigg, who
discussed the situation Mt great length.
1t was with these men that Senator
Hanna labored.
He said that six weeks ago Roosevelt
was wanted as n vice presidential can
didate. He and other warm friends of
the administration believed that he
would he II very satisfactory candidate.
The bare suggestion brought out Il
protest from Roosevelt. n declaration
in emphatic terms that he would not
accept the place. After this declara-
tion had been reiterated several times.
1t was taken up by Senator Plntt. who
publicly announced that Governor
Roosevelt was not TO be considered as
vice presidential candidate. Then
other candidates appeared and In n
dignitied manner their interests Were
put forward by their friends through
ont the country.

was Lieutenant Governor Woodruff.
The suggestion OF ex-Secretary Bliss
brought forth n declination from him.
coupled with statement from Mr..
Hanna himself that Bliss could not be
considered for personal reasons. He
then pointed out that after the dele
gates began arriving the name OF
Roosevelt was suddenly sprung. In an
effort to stampede the convention and
force nomination upon n man who
did not want II. apparently because
some other candidate was desired for
governor.
As the Ohio senator rchearsed the
conditions. he warmed up and pointed
out that under the existing circum-
stances the nomination OF Roosevelt
was not fair to the men who had come
out for the place and who should have
an equal show before the convention.

realize that the earlier the work OF COL
lecting and preserving the early rec
ords of the states is begun the better
It will be done. and that each year 1t
is postponed valuable material is lost
The German-American Historical So
ciety of Illinois will appreciate this in
the work 1t is about to undertake in
the collection Of information relative
to early settlers Of German ancestry.
The data which 1t has decided to
gather will throw an interesting light

much to build up the middle west.

HURRY TROOPS TO CHINA.

Authorities at Warrington Are Taking
Prompt Measures.
Washington, June 1S.-The firing by
the Chinese army from the Taku forts
on the International feet, the lombard
ment and reduction Of the forts and oc-
cupation Of the forts by the interna-
tional forces; the hurry orders from the
War Department to load the Ninth In
fantry on board the transports at Ma
nila for Taku; orders for the North
Atlantic squadron to be held in
readiness for service on the Asiatic
station; conferences between the State
Department officials and foreign am
basadOrs and between the war, navy
and state officials at the White House
with the President, were the salient
features of the news and official nets
to-day In Washington.
The Navy Department officials are of
the opinion that China declared war on
the United States when her troops
fired ut the gunboats which attempted
to pass the Taku forts for the relief Of
the legations at Pekin. They maintain
this position, whether or not there were
any American vessels in the fleet that
was fired at, because the American
squadron is an integral part Of the in
ternational fleet of Taku.
The War Department has apparently
taken n similar view Of the situation
because 1t Is learned to-day that 500
troops will be sent to Taku In addition
to the full Ninth regiment, and 1t Is
limited broadly that II Macarthur de-
cldes against sending and more from
Manila some of the troops In the Unit
ed States will be hurried to China.

China.
The following cable message from
General Macarthur. bearing on this

Department this morning:

Lincoln.s Street Fair.

Next week Lincoln will be called
upon to entertain a multitude Of people
from all parts of the state on account
of the street fair which begins next
Monday. That Lincoln is alive no one
doubts and her pronounced activity is
due to the fact that such men as Alvin
H. Armstrong, of the Armstrong Cloth
ing Company, are at the helm. This
gentleman, whose name is so popular
throughout the state, has done more
to advertise Lincoln than any other
one man in it, and through his enter
prising spirit, his honest dealings with
people, the Armstrong Clothing Com
pany is not only classed as the leader
in Lincoln, but its mail order depart
ment is far reaching. Everything
carried is first class and the p~atroniz-
ing customer shares in the profits, an
item worthy of consideration and &C.
cepted by shrewd buyers.
