BITTER FEELING
In CUBAN ELECTION
NATIONALISTs CLAIM MANY QUAIL
FLED ELECTORS ARE REFUSED
REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 2S.-In-
tense partisan excitement was caused
here yesterday by an alleged attempt of
the Republican party to exclude men,
bers of the National party from the
registration places. 1t is asserted that
hundreds of voters were refused regis ra-
ton certificates on various pretexts and
that the registration boards gave prefer
ence to Republicans over Nationalists
who were ahead of them in the line.
The principal cause of protest rises
from the qualification requiring voter
to be able to read and write, the tests
being made without regard TO age
Many fairly educated applicants were
refused certificates because they had
misSpelled certain words.
Ten men in one precinct claim that
they were refused the privilege of reg g.
terfng today because they were unable
to present birth certificates showing
their exact ages although there could
be no question that they were old
enough.
Gen. Whitside has given orders to the
commander of the rural guards to visit
the registration offices and to investigate
these charges. The city authorities OBJ
jeet to this, declaring that it amounts
to military interference and they pro-
test vigorously. At one re ogistration Of
fee this morning the police refused to
admit Maj. Shelley, commander cf the ru-
raj guards, but as he was acting under
Gen. Whitside's orders he disregarded
the police, entered the Office and received
the complaints of the minority member
of the board. The other members left
the Office, but returned later
The Republican press bitterly attacks
the action of the military governor, as
serting that it is an Interference, and
that the military are in alliance with
the Nationalists
The Cubano Libro, the principal organ
of the Nationalists, alleges fragrant un-
fairness on the part OF the municipal
government in favor of the Republicans,
Late this afternoon the leaders on both
sides conferred with Gen. Whitside, and
he assured them of his absolute impair
tiality, insisting that they should dis
play equal fairness.
The June election is regarded as very
important because of its probable inf1u-
ence upon the future election OF delegates
to the constitutional convention

Gen. Rafael Portuando one Of the COM

lows:
"Ninety-nine per cent of the Cuban peO-
pie desire absolute independence. 1t is
their wish that military occupation by
the United States come to an emu at once.
'It may be said that a small element
Of Spaniards, from a purely commercial
motive, favor annexation, but the wish
for independence is felt by many Cubans
and Spaniards alike. Those Spaniards
who favor annexation are not iUpe. led by
love for the United States. They hate
Americans, but they seem to wish some
sort of guaranty as to their property and
business interests.
'Peace with the Americans without the
independence of Cuba is impossible

''I do not mean to say that, In the event
independence is not granted, war or rev.
olution would follow, but there would be
no sympathy, no friendliness between the
peoples"

MORE TROUBLE In SIGHT
RUSSIAN STUDENTS VOTE NOT TO
TAKE EXAMINATIONS.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 23.-The rec
tors today informed the students that
Gen. Vannoffsky, the Russian minister
OF public instruction. had refused TO
defer the examinations until autumn or
make further concessions to the students.
Although the popular Prof. Nd. Pre-
trockin pleaded against an action which
would render it difficult for liberal min
lister to carry through his benevolent in-
tentions, tho students decided by vote
of 6sS to e49 against participation in the
examinations. They resolved, however, not
to create obstruction, and the minority
agreed to submit to the will Of tie ma
jority The electric technical wing of
the civil engineering academy, and this
woman's academy, also decided against
the examinations. Sincere friends of the
students regret the step taken in the ex-
amirations, believing the students should
petition for the absent students TO come
as an act of grace from the government,
and should rot attempt to forcS eonces@
sions.

Duty During the Day - In
vestisation Probable.

There is something of commotion in the
census Office over the discovery that at
least one clerk is working there on the
night force who is employed in another
government department during the day.
This clerk goes to work every morning at
0. stops at 4, gets his dinner and reports
for duty at the census Office at 80 O'Clock
and works until IL. In each of his posi-
tions he is entitled to thirty days annual
leave, so that If he foregoes his vacation ne
can work during two months In but one
position, which carries him over the heated
spell very comfortably.
Two Months Salary I'm One.
He has two months salary every month
and has been getting along very COMFORT
ably but some dear friend discovered the
double official life he was living and re-
ported the fact. AS the law is explicit III
allowing a citizen to draw but one salary
from the government, this particular clerk
will doubtlessly soon be relieved from MS
position 1t is said that his salary during
the day amounts to 81. 400 annually. There
are rumors at the census office that sew
eral other people employed there at night
have work during the. day In othef
branches of the government service, ana
