cabinet his impressions of Cuba, as gath
cred during his recent visit to the island.
With the governmental and political out
look in the island Secretary Root is pleased.

with legislative action by Cuba providing

again on May 20 in its legislative capacity,

from then.
The withdrawal of American soldiers and

speedily as possible.

away from the White House, accompanied d
the adjournment of the cabinet, and prac-
tlcaIly had day of rest. Before the cab

A Tennessee Marshalship.
Ex-Representative Zachary Taylor, who

lor has been recommended by these two
republican leaders of Tennessee for mar
shal of the western district Of that state to
succeed Thomas Baker, who will not be
given another term. Mr.. Taylor Is also
Endorsed by Jacob Borches, republican
state chairman. Just why the nomination
of Mr.. Bakers successor has not heen
made is not known.
The strong backing commanded by Mr.
Taylor would indicate his selection. but the
fact that the President has hesitated about
sendlng IN the nomination is not regarded
as hopeful sign. Messrs BrownIoW and
Gibson have been recognized by the Presi-
dent as leading factors in the distribution
OF Tennessee patronage, and whatever
choice is made will be submitted to them
1or approval. Other candidates for the
marshalship who are not Objectionable to
Representatives Brownlow and Gibson are
Ernest Hawkins of Huntingdon and p n.

Selma Is mentioned, but he is an advocate
of Mr.. Thrasher's nomination
