Exceedingly Heavy Vote Was Cast,
Vastly in Excess of Recent Au-

Leaders Amt Defeat.

HanVana.-At the close Oh an eioc-
tion which was conducted with great

tain that Gen. jose Miguel Gomez
and Alfredo E. Zayas have been cho-
sen president and vice president, re-
spectively of the new Cuban repub-
die with strong Liberal majorities in
the senate and house.
Gen. Gomez, announced he had re-
ceived advices showing that he had
carried every province in the Island
which is not improbable. Havana and
Origente provinces, with forty-eisht
electoral votes, which lacks only eight
Of majority, are surely Liberal.
Gov. Magoen said:
Il cannot express too highly my
appreciation of the enthusiasm and
prudent regard for order with which
the Cuban people have conducted this
most important contest. / an abso-
lutely certain that they will Loyalty
abide by the result, establishing 10
my complete satisfaction. their aon-
ple1e fitness to be entrusted with the
government of the republic
Through the day numerous reports
were received at the palace from the
American supervisors of the rural
guard and from the mayors Of va
rious towns, stating that there had
been no infraction of law ami ortier.

where a slight affray took u ace in
which two men were injured. NJ
where was there occasion fo: the SER

duty only at the polls where there
We're no regular policemen.
Throughout the island. according
to the reports, an exceedingly heavy
vote was cast, vastly in excess of that
cast at the August election, where
$4,000 failed to vote in total reg
istration of 100000. This was e7
pscially so in havana City, where the
vote probably will reach sixtr-six

increase in the vote in that province
east by property holders, who were
apathetic at the last election, and
this is considered favorable TO the
Conservatiy es.
The Conservative leaders generally
admit the defeat Of their party. The
streets were thronged with rejoicing
Liberal crowds. One party, compos-
ed mostly of negroes, while passing
the cafe of the Hotel Inglaterra,
which is traditionaliy Conservative
resort, clashed with group OF Con-
servatives on the sidewalk. Knives
and pistols were drawn and several
shots were fired. breaking some OF
the windows OF the hotel and caus-
ing panic among those seated with
in. Lieut.. Reynolds of the marine
corps, ran out of the cafe, and inter
posed h.mse,t between the combat
ants. He made speech in Spanish
and succeeded in inducing them to
stop fighting.
The shooting, however. attracted
great crowd and the situation event
ually became threatening. Maj.
Foltz, supervisor of the police, sum-
moned the reserves and cleared the
square. Two men are reported in
jured, but no arrests were made.
