CUBAN RETURNS ARE SLOW
Result OF the Election IL Stm Doubt
full, but Conservatism Is Stronger
Than Epecxted.

Three days after the closing OF the
polls in Cuba the provincial and
municipal elections the results are
stlll doubtful the only salient facts
being the unexpected Conservative
strength throughout the island
and the corresponding weakness OF the
partlsans OF Zayas. the political leader
In the last revolution. The Indications
now point toward, the tendency OF fu-
sion OF the zayistas and Miguelistns as
the only hope Of successfully opposing
the Conservative vote in the presiden.
tial election In December.
The result OF the election in all tho
provinces is still In doubt. Santiago
city probably Is Conservative. but the
province OF Oriente ls doubtful. The
Conservatives claim Camaguey. SANTA
Clara Is probably Mlguelista. Matan-
zas also Is doubtful. but probably has
been won by the Conservatives.
