FRANK J. DoNNERBERG.

Frank J. Donnerberg, who several
months ago opened handsome jew
elry store at 574 Commercial street,
has won a reputation that has brought
him what is perhaps the best trade in
the city. After l6 years experience in
the large jewelry and Matchmaking
stores of San Francisco and Portland.
Mr.. Donnerberg came to Astoria and
opened a small place at 10 Eleventh
street, confning himself largely to
repairing watches, and carrying a
small stock of jewelry and watches.
His customers found him a good
matchmaker and discovered they were
given fair treatment and patroniZed
him literally, enabling him to in
crease his stock rapidly. Mr.. Donner-
berg is a broad minded business man,
and his up-todate stock includes all
the newest styles which he purchases
from New York and San Francisco
wholesalers, and his establishment is
a credit to the city.

FEW VOTERS At POLLS.
F0rty Per Cent Fail to Cast Ballots
Result Doubtful.

Havana, Aug. 1-Cuba's first election under
American supervision held to-day. and was
marked by general tranquility and the absence
of excitement throughout the island. The only
disturbance occurred this afternoon at San Jose
de las Lajas where there was a slight collision
between rival professions of whites and blacks
but no one was hurt
Governor Magoon in automobile visited all
the polling places in the city this morning. and
tonight expressed great qualification at the
derby manner in which the polling carried
out
Extraordinary apathy was shown by the
voters of Havana City. Despite the activity of
the organized efforts TO bring the voters TO the
polls in carriages and automobiles, the total
number of votes cast here was less than 80 per
cent of the registration total
Reports from the interior indicate that despite
fine weather not 60 per cent of the electors
cast their ballots.
The election boards in all the municipalities
met at o'clock TO receive the returns of the
local boards. but at $50 o'clock not a single
ward had reported II is believed that owing
to the tnexperence of the election officers with
the new system only few scattering returns
will be received tonight
The Zayistas and Conservatives both are
claiming Havana province and city with the
chances rather favOring the former party. Esti-
mates from interior points indicate a close con-
test, with fair prospect for Conservative sue
cess in majority OF the provinces.
