CUBAN ELECTIONS.
NArloNALIsrs WIN in HAVANA
Apparently Little Interest raken a.d
Small Vote Cast--No Disorder Re-
ported.


Havana, June 17.-General Alexandra
Rodriguez. Nationalist, was yesterday
elected mayor OF Havana, polling 13.-
013 votes against 6,O34 cast for Senior
Estrada Mora, Independent. The total
vote fell about 4.5OO below the registra-
tion.
The National party elected Its entire
ticket, eighteen councilmen, the treas
urer, one correctional judge and three
nunicipal judges. The other correc-
tionai 1udgship fell to an Independent
candidate, as did ALSO the fourth NUM-
cipal 1udgeship- OF the six other coun-
ciimen, four are Republicans and two
Natonailsts, who ran Independently.
reports from every part Of the island
go to show that perfect order prevail
ed at the polls. Not a shot was fred
nor was there any sign of disturbance
anywhere.
To an American observer of the elec.
tion here it seemed as If the people re-
garded the whole matter with absolute
Indifference. There was not even a
crowd In waiting to hear the result de-
ciared. Not a 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.
Tha victory of the Nationalists 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 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
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
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 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.

A PAINTER AT 90.

Thomas Sidney Cooper. member OF
the Royal academy. is probably the
Oldest Of living painters, and certainly
the most aged of painters who are still
at work with the brush. Mr. Cooper,
although Sc years old. Is an exhibitor
in the academy Of the present season
in London. His paintings represent
ing the seasons are among the most
interesting pictures of the London ex-
hibit this year. Sixty-six years ago
Mr.. Cooper hung up his first work of
art on the academic walls. 1t was
painting of farm life and created no
little sensation. being the germ Of the
great school OF cattle painters who
have since delighted the world with
their work. 1t was the great Verbock-

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-
donal forces; the hurry orders from the
War Department to load the Ninth in
fantry ON board the transports at Ma
Mia 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 &cts
to-day in Washington.
b The Navy Department officials are OF
the opinion that China declared war on
the United States when her troops
fired at 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 nm integral part Of the In.
ternational feet of Taku.
The War Department has apparently
taken a 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 it Is
limited broadly that II Macarthur de-
cides against sending and more from
Manila some Of the troops in the Unit
ed States will be hurried to China.
1t is feared here, ms has been fire.
qnently pointed out, that Russia will
utilize the present opportunity to seize
the whole of the Pehi Ii province, put
it under Russian martial law and as
sumo the responsibility Of the citizens
of all foreign nationalities ut Pekin,
and in the Pehi Ii province. Russia,
1t is understood, has already asked for
indemnity, and this fact gives her pri-
ority in the seizure of railroads in
China.
The following cable message from
General Macarthur, bearing on this
subject, was made public at the War
Department this morning:
Ninth infantry, Colonel Liscum, Or
dered to Taku on Logan: transporta-
ton Port Albert; probably start oath.
Typhoon will delay movement"
The voyage from Manila to Taku will
occupy at least n week.

KILLING THE ROOSEVELT BOON
Senator Hsuna Thinks He Has Put .
Quietus Upon 1t.


Philadelphia, June 1S.-It has been
n day of conferences ON the vice presi-
dental situation.
Among the men to see Senator Han
na We're chairman Odell of the New
York committee. and l.. Il. Quigg, who
discussed the situation at great length.
1t was with these men that Senator
Hanna labored.
He said that six weeks ago Roosevelt
was wanted rs vice presidential can
didate. He and other warm friends Of
the administration believed that he
would be very satisfactory candidate.
The bare suggestion brought out u
protest from Roosevelt, a declaration
In emphatic terms that he would not
accept the place. After this declara-
ton had been reiterated several times,
1t was taken up by Senator Platt, who
publicly announced that Governor
Roosevelt was not to be considered as
a vice presidential candidate. Then
other candidates appeared and in a
dignified manner their interests were
put forward by their friends through
out the country.
The only man appearing in New York
was Lieutenant Governor Woodruff.
The suggestion of ex-Secretary Bliss
brought forth 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 a man who
did not want 1t, apparently because
some other candidate was desired for
governor.
AS the Ohio senator rehearsed 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.

COULDN'T WORK GIG NUMBER.
Irate Party's Intellectual Attempt on the
Telephone.

Acicphohc.
Several commercial travellers were
gathered about the desk of a down
town hotel when the clerk called their
attention to the behavior of stout
party wearing straw hat and who ap-
peared to be vexed at something that
had transpired In the telephone booth.
Il have travelled all over this land of
forest and alkali." said the stout man,
as he mopped the perspiration from his
forehead, but never heard Of any
thing quite as bad as this" What is
the trouble?" asked the placid listen
er in blue serge and tanned shoes.
Matter? Why. just think of it, the
bell boy informed me few minutes
ago that a party desired me to call
number on the telephone and have
been trying for fifteen minutes to con-
vince the operator at the other end of
the line that l am not crazy or under
the influence OF root beer. She insists
that the number l called for Is not in
the telephone directory. and in spite
of all could say she told me to leave
the wire and seek friend" What
number did you call inquired the
smiling Joker in the blue serge and
tanned shoes. why, 4-11-44." said

of his ambitions-a seat in the United
States senate. Quanah Parker is the
name OF this remarkable Indian. He
is the head chief of the Comanches
and their all-powerful leader. He has
always been the ally OF the white man
and by his peaceful, yet powerful. lead
ership has brought his tribe from pov-
erty to agricultural afiuence and to a
we-l-ordered social state. He Is an
accomplished scholar and linguist,
trained athlete, an expert horseman
and a millionaire. He is the owner of
thousands OF acres of well-tilled farm
lands and lives in magnificent man
sion. To the great Richelieu there was
no such word as fail" and to Quanah
Parker there is no such word as i'm
possible" He has banished this word
from the Comanche language. When
told that 1t seemed impossible that he
should ever become member Of the
United State senate, he said: ut is
my wish. 1t will be fulfilled. The
word impossible is not in the Ian
guage of the Comanche." Those who
know him do not doubt him, for they
recall the many remarkable things
that he has already done.
Quanah Parker inherits his peace
full disposition and his love Of the
white man from his mother. who was
a white woman. His grandfather, the
great Comanche chief. Quanah, when
on the war path at the head Of 1000
Of his braves attacked old Fort Parker
on the Texas frontier and massacred
ing only the young girls. These were
carried away as squaws and slaves.
Among the number was Cynthia Ann
Parker, beautiful 9-year-old child.
The old chief was so struck with her
beauty and intelligence that he de-
termined that she was a white chiefs
child and resolved that she should still
her and placed her in the care OF his
squaws. He surrounded her with all
the comforts and luxuries that he
could provide. She became used to the
ways Of the Indians, learned to love
them and was happy with them. She
grew to be beautiful woman and then
old Quanah gave her in marriage to
his son and successor. Peta Nacona.
Their first child was boy and they
named him Quanah Parker, after his
grandfather and his mother, and 1t is
he who is the subject OF this article.
He learned the ways Of the Indians
from his companions and his mother
taught him many Of the gentle les
sons that white children learn. He
was remarkably strong and intelli-
gent boy and his tribe looked upon
him as giving promise of becoming as
great hero as his grandfather. He
was passionately fond of his mother,
and all the wild instincts OF the In
dian race was subserved to her will.
Her fate was the tragedy OF his life.
His father, Nacona, was as fierce a
warrior as old Quanah, and his hatred
for the whites was equally as great.
While on the war path his camp was
surprised by Lieut.. Ross. who after
ward became governor of Texas, and
the whites took many prisoners,
among them the white squaw OF the
dreaded chief. Nacona. After twenty
five years of searching Cynthia Ann
