HAVANA, May 9.-The National party
held a convention last night and nomi-
mated Gen. Alexander Rodriguez for mayor.
The three other candidates for the nomi-
nation were Senores Gener. Sayas. and
Mora. The friends OF Senior Gener were
confident that he would win. but Senior

is known that he would have made
good mayor.
Senior Gener intiniated that he would
run independently. The convention
thereupon passed u resolution declar-

nomination legal it will be necessary to

electors. Conventions were held tonight
to nominate councilmen, judges, and other
municipal officers.
The Democratic Union has not yet de-

that party appears to be running stronger
