FORECAST OF The
PRESENT WEEK
Cuban Situation Will Probably
Continue to Attract World
Wide Attention.
PRIMARIES IN NEW YORK
EMPIRE STATE POLITICS VERY
MUCH MIXED.

Cuba undoubtedly will hold the inter-
est of the world during the week 10
come. The visit of Secretaries Taft and
Bacon to the island republic with the
avowed purpose OF bringing about solu-
ton of the trouble which has already re-
suited in bloodshed and commercial DIS
ruptiOn is recognized on all sides as an
event Of first Importance in world ar
fairs. Preceded. accompanied and fol-
lowed by a formidable land and sea-
fighting force, the representatives or
President Roosevelt will reach the CUBAN
capital early In the week, ana the proPh-
ecy has been made in influential circles
that their work will be completed within
seven days. Within that limited time IL
is expected that 1t will have been dell
nitely determined whether an amicable
settlement OF the conflict in the island
can be brought without further interven-
ton on the part of the United States. 1t
is probable that upon the success or fall
ure of the mission entrusted to Secre-
taries Taft and Bacon depends the i'm
mediate future OF the new republic
whether is shall remain, as at present, a
sovereign state or shall come under the
active protection of the United States,
for time at least, under the provisions
of the Plat amendment.
New York Primaries.
On Tuesday primary elections will be
held in New York by both the Demo-
terest is taken in these primaries this
year because of contests for control be-
ing waged against 3. 3. Oden, 1r., the
present head of the state Republican or
ganization, and Charles f. Murphy, head
of TamInany Democracy.
The opposition to Odell in New York
City is being waged by Herbert Parsons,
chairman of the county Republican com
m1ttee, who recently visited President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and received
from the. president an Endorsement of Mr..
Parsons course in political affairs. In
Tammany the situation is more compli-
Gated Murphy is fighting to continue
as leader of the organization, but opposed
to him are forces friendly to Mayor Nc
Clelian, while the adherents of Congress
man Timothy ID. Sullivan. who are very
plentiful in the organization, have not
yet indicated their position. Whether the
New York county delegates to the state
Democratic convention will be instructed
for William r. Hearst for governor may
depend on the result OF the Tammany prf-
mardy, as Murphy is generally supposed
to favor such an Endorsement.
