Norfolk, Va. Nov. 21.-A great SEN

as Charles Brandenburg.
President Gompers said the man de-
clared that he represented the Ma
tional Manufacturers association, and
was prepared to offer him immunity
from all exposure and make him finan-
cially secure for the remainder Of his
life II he would sign certain paper
and otherwise aid In the exposure
of the other leaders in the American
Federation Of Labor with a view to
virtually destroying the influence OF

The paper. President Gompers said,
was to purport to have been signed
when he (Gompers) was Ill in 1895.
This paper, Mr.. Gompers said, he had
preserved, and while deathlike still
ness prevailed In the convention Pres.
ident Gompers drew forth the original
document and read 1t. Mr.. Gompers

other six members of the court, says:
I'VE have given careful considera
tion to the evidence in this case. 1t
Is of two kinds: The evidence Of SER

not convincing but is scarcely suffi cient

STEP IS TAKEN TO
SET UP REPUBLIC
THIS HAS BEEN AccoMPL,shEo
BY THE ENUMERATION OF
POPULATION OF CUBA.
POLITICAL COMPLEXION
NOT GREATLY CHANGED
With the Possible Exception Of Pinar
del Rio, the Provinces Hold the
Same views--Number Of Foreigners
In island Estimated at 100000.

Havana, Nov. 25.-With the compile
Of Cuba there has been accomplished
the first step In the direction Of the
termination of the American interven-
ton and the re-establishment of tho
Cuban republic.
This enumeration was actually an
enforced registration Of voters, the de.
termination Of the population of this
land being of scant Importance COM
pared to that of registering all persons
entitled to the electoral franchise, In
order to insure the purity Of the cleo
tion of the next Cuban president.
An estimate by one Of the most ac-
complished statisticians In the service
Of the provisional government places
the population of the island at two mil
lions, Of which about four hundred
thousand are foreigners not entitled to
the franchise.
The indications are that there has
been no great change In the political
complexion of the provinces with the
possible exception Of Pinar del Rio,
where the infcnce Of Pine Guerra, the
military leader Of the last uprising. Is
very great.
Even to speculate on the outcome of
the next election is futile, owing to the
confusion consequct on the disscnsions
in the liberal party and the underlined
attitude of the conservatives.
Had the election been held year
ago there Is no doubt that the liberals
would have had an overwhelming vic.
tory and that Alfredo Zayas would
have been president Of Cuba.
Now the liberal party is hopelessly
divided between the followers of Jose
Miguel Gomez and Zayas, and an ex'
cellent opportunity Is afforded for con-
servatives to organize and nominate q
leader who will command the respect
OF the country.
Should they obtain the consent OF
such a man as Gen. Mario Menocal To
Iun for the presidency there can hard
ly be any doubt that he would attract
a great following from the better class
of liberals and would easily be elected.
Gen. Menocal, however, 1t Is be-
lieved, could not be tempted to enter
the presidential arena.
An element that may prove to be OF
prime Importance in the coming elec-
ton Is the health OF Jose Miguel
Gomez. It Is reumored that the gen.
cral Is afflicted with a dangerous all
ment which may compel his retirement
from the field.
Coincident with the completion OF
the enumeration Is that Of the elector-
ate law, on which the committee OF
which Col Crowder rs the head has
been working for months.
II waits only the approval of Gov.
Magoon before being promulgated.

tanned nothing stands In the way OF
carrying out,the present programme Of

municipal elections in May or June
and the presidential election In the fol-
lowing December, thus paving the way
for the Inauguration OF the president
in May and the withdrawal OF the
American troops In July.
