CUBAN REGISTRY BOARDS.
Nationals and Republicans Claim
Victory in the Elections.

HAVANA, May 4.-The election OF
boards of registry in all the districts of
the island closed at noon today. The
election was by petition under the super
vision Of the supervisors Of elections. who
were appointed by the ayuntamientos
These supervisors in Havana were recon-
mended by the leaders of the National and
Republican parties. twenty five belonging
to the former and fifteen to the latter.
Many OF those selected refused to serve.
Secretary of State Tamayo therefore is
sued an order making service compulsory
for the reason that in half the districts
no others were available who could read
and write The result of the election of
the registration boards is unknown yet,
but the Nationals and Republicans assert
that their candidates were chosen in every
ward. The Democratic Union denies this.
declaring that its candidates have won in
many districts. This party, however, did
not make great efforts to win. II is al
ready making excuses, saying that the
Spaniards in the lower wards we're AFRAID
to vote, fearing they would be boycotted
by the Cubans.
Many Spaniards who are small shop
keepers do not wish to make enemies OF
either party. In some election districts
In the country il was found there were not
three men sufficiently educated TO form
election boards, and il was necessary to
bring in men from other districts. In
some cases districts were merged. AS the
boards of registry will be election boards
also the Nationals and Republicans feel
that they have Havana under their thumb.
Outside Havana the Democratic Union has
not much strength. 1t is alleged that
when the party made an effort to establish
a branch in Santa Clara the Veterans AS
ISOLATION used threats to break up the
movement
All the veterans declare that their or
ganization is not of political character.
At the same time all the members are
permitted to Join the parties in their pri-
vate capacity. The Havana organization
has just issued a circular to the other
branches urging the members not to join
any party that wishes to postpone in any
way the coming Of independence. This ia
vors the Nationals and is blow to the
Democratic Union.

ical Park, suggests that the park should

cal and wise. In this park the people Of
Washington have at least one place Of

by books Without encouraging the spend

Rock Creek with its large and interesting
collection OF rare animals. must have a
certain value to the school-teachers of
Washington. They can. when references
to wild animals come up in geography OF

Great Damage Inflicted by the CO.

NEW YORK. May A gentleman who
arrived here today from Colombia says
that the revolution is growing there and is
proving very destructive to the coffee

The rebels" he said, have now in
their possession Colon, Cartagena, Bocas

eminent was preparing to make war on
the insurgents when | left Limon. and

rebels are coming, but | am sure they are
from Nicaragua, as that country generally
discharges a lot Of riffran whenever there
is any trouble brewing or going on in any
Of the other Republics.
General Herrera, who Is at the head
Of the rebels who captured David, is a
Nicaraguan, and that seems to be regard

Here is a situation for a novel Weng
Tung Ho was the tutor OF the present En-
peror Of China from the time he was Sc
lected as the heir to the throne and until
the recent coup d'etat was his most conf
dental and influential adviser. Mr.. Neng
is a man OF great age and until recently
none OF all the princes Of the court re-
ceiyed more respect than he. When the
Empress Dowager took charge Of affairs
two years ago she sent him TO his former
home at Chang-Sh a small city about
forty miles northeast Of Soo-Chow. where
he has since been living in seclusion.
Whether Weng Tung Ho has been com
municating with his former pupil. the i'm
prisoned Emperor. or whether the Dow
aper fears that he may attempt to do so
nobodv knows. but few weeks ago she
condemned him to death. and forwarded
notice OF that fact to him through the
governor OF SOO-Chow. Wengs rank is so
high and his person so venerable that no
oficial Of the Empire can be induced to
execute the sentence and he has heen re-
quested by the governor Of 500 Chow to
execute himself. \ military guard has
been placed around his residence, so that
he cannot escape or be rescued nor can
he communicate with anyone outside ex-
cept through the officials and thus the old
man WAS living when the latest mails
left China. with the decree OF the Empress
Dowager In his hands The news OF his
suicide was expected daily.

EngIand's Danger.

The New York Herald" yesterday print
ed a Washington interview with the Hon.
John W. Foster, former Secretary Of State,
in which that distinguished diplomatist
gave expression to some very interesting
views Of the critical position occupied by
Great Britain at this time as a result Of
her ENHANCEMENT in South Africa and
what at any moment may result from it.
AS General Foster sees the situation.
the day when the rest Of the world will
cease to regard the current struggle with
official Indifference may be not far dis
fant. Nobody knows what may be going
on behind the scenes in the chancelleries
OF powers who are certainly neither unin-
jerested nor disinterested spectators Of
current events. The progress made by
British arms in subjugating the Transvaal
and Free State has been far from eneour-
aging to the idea OF an early end to the
war. While no European country would
perhaps feel disposed to Interfere solely
upon the ground Of humanity, there may
be several who might join in movement
of Intervention il the prospect in that re-
