FORECAST OF THE NEWS
 FOR THE PRESENT WEEK

Cuba, undoubtedly will hold the interest of the world during the week to come. The visit of Secretaries Taft and Bacon to the island republic with the ayowed purpose of bringing about a solution of the trou- ble which already has resulted in blood shed and commercial disruption, is re- cognized on all sides as an event Of hrst importance in world affairs.
 Preceded, accompanied and followed by formidable land and sea fighting force, the representatives of President Roosevelt
 will reach the Cuban capital early in the | week, and the prophecy has been mad In official circles that their work will be completed within seven days. Within
 that limited time it is expected that 1t will have been definitely determined whether an emicable settlement of the conflict in the island can be brought about without fruther intervention on the part of the United States. It is probable that upon the mission entrusted to Secretaries Taft and Bacon depends the immediate future of the new republic, whether 1t shall remain as at present, a sovereign state, or shall come under the active pro-
 lection of the United States for a time at least under the provisions of the Platt amendment.
 The most interesting political event of the week will be the state convention of the New Hampshire republicans at Con- cord on Tuesday, There are five eandi- dates for the gubernatorial nomination, including Winston Churchill, the novelist.
 On Tusday primary elections will be held in New York by both the democratic and republican parties. Much interest is
 taken in these primaries this year be- cause of contests for control being waged against B. B. Odell Jr,, the present head of the state republican organization, and Charles F. Murphy, head of the Tammany democracy. The opposition to Odell n New York is being waged by Herbert
 Parsons, chairman of the county republi- can committee. who recently visited tha President and received an endorsement of MT. Parsons course in political affairs. In Tammany, the situation is more com plicated. Murphy is fighting to continue as leader but opposed to him are forces friendly to Mayor Mcclellan, while the adherents of Congressman Timothy ID. Sullivan, who are very powerful in the organization, have not yet indicated their position Whether the New York county delegates to the state democratic conVeh- tion will be instructed for William h. Hearst for governor may depend on the result of Tammany primaries.
