either or both the rival factions Of the liberals led respectively by Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez and Dr. Alfredo Zayas In Havana there are no less than four can didates for mayor in the field. Present indications point to the very general suc- cess of the conservatives, as the result of the irreconciliable feud between the liberal factions.
 Owing to the influence of local issues it is doubtful whether an analysis Of the vote will be of much value in attempting to make a forecast of the presidential election to be held in December. The only two candidates now in the field are Jose Miguel Gomez and Alfredo Zayas, between whom there seems to be not the remotest chance of reconciliation. DiYid- ed it seems impossible that either should have chance of victory in the face of a united conservative opposition. In the meantime the conservatives have de- termined not to hold their presidential nominating convention until after the August election. It Is becoming more and more probable that their candidate will be Gen Mario Menocal. Should the con- servatives march to victory in Decem- ber Cuba will present the extraordinary spectacle of the resumption of power by the political element that went down be- fore the revolution of August, with "Pino" Guerre, the military chief of the revolution, as generalissimo of the regu- lar army of the republic.

CAUSE OF TROUBLE.
President Castro Has Injured the
 Trade of Wilemstad.

Washington, July 26.-The state depart ment has received no advices concern ing the anti-Venezuelan demonstrations today in Willemstadt, but it was said by Acting Secretary of State Adee tonight that if such a demonstration took place 1t was purely local, and the Dutch gov ernment could be expected in accordance with international law. He said that the government of The Netherlands is re- garded by American as most punctilious In the observance of the international code, and the Venezuelan consul is as safe in Curacoa as he would be in his own country, in spite of the strained rela- tions between Holland and Venezuela.
 "Willemstadt," said Mr. McAdee, "has always benefited by the trade carried on by other countries with Venezuela, and since President Castro has practically stopped this trade the people of Willem- stadt have been greatly dissatisfied AS result they have probably shown their i'll feelings toward Castro's government. There is no significance to be attached to the fact that the Venezuelan consul took refuge in the German consulate It may ,adjoin his residence and then he,' too, would probably not care to go to the con-

Roosevelt Arranees for Special Course
 For One Son.

Oyster Bay, July 26.-One of the great est desires of President Roosevelt is that each of his four sons shall have the best education to be obtained in this country at the earliest possible period of his life. To this end he is earnestly devoting his attention. He has seen that his eldest son, Theodore, Jr., is well equipped in learning sufficient to enter upon a career which should bring him out a successful man. Theodore, Jr., is at present en- deavoring to secure his first employment, having been graduated from Harvard university this summer, in three years.
 The President yesterday held confer ence with the dean of Harvard for the purpose of arranging n course of study by which his second son. Kermit, who finished at Groton preparatory school this year. may in his freshman year at liar ward. which he will begin this fall, do as much as possible before he departs with his father for the African hunting trip next April

Ensley, July 25-(Special.) )-What means this gorgeous industrial view which pre- sents itself to the sojourner at Ensley for a day? What builded here in so brief a time this vigorous city of paved streets, of brick and stone business houses. of mansions and of cottage homes; of school houses and churches with their spires reaching heavenward?
 Surely this is a question for Sunday thought and meditation.
 The location for this great young city was God-appointed. The place was marked by the coal veins that underlie these hills and these valleys, by the rock ribbed mountains that surround it, by the iron ore embedded here.
 These were touched by the magic wand of what? Of capital and labor.
 And today as I sit in view of the smokestaeks of industry, ana amidst the assembly of a thousand wheels of shop and engine, each performing in season functions for onward march and devel- the two great agents which direct and execute, and which by united effort made possible this wonderful city-capital and labor-are now in conflict Pity tis so.
 Capital, labor and mutual endeavor constitute the triumviate which made Ensley what it is today, and that this union should be marred by any cause is to be much lamented. Mutual depend ence makes mutual effort indispensable

in the prosperity and the building up of communities and of cities.
 No man can deny the power of labor and of capital-none can be at enmity with either; all should encourage and sustain both. Deny the right of one to live and you stab the other with the same weapon. Discourage one and you weaken the other Estop the goodly ser vice of the one and you benumb the other.
 All seems peace and quiet at Ensley today. The watchful eye of the conser- vatives of the place make peace pos sbIe.
 While stores aI.u workshops and busi- ness offices are closed the church bells ringing and the populaee calmly inviting in peaceful procession Is the better time for meditation and thought over the events of the week day and many a prayer will ascend to heaven today that real peace and order in this district will soon be restored that the madness of frenzied men may be overcome by Sum day meditation, and that another week may witness cessation of hostilities and a resumption of industrial peace and or der in this God blessed city and district.
 This picture must not be marred by continued differences and disturbances. Labor and capital alike owe 1t to the peace order and dignity of the public that they should harmonize and settle differences, and that the spirit of com. promise should assert itself.

Memphis. July 2e.-The following Is the Commercial Appeals weekly cotton crop summary:
 The cotton crop made excellent prog ress last week. Reports are more uni form than for several weeks, showing that conditions were generally favorable. The only exceptions noted are the local ities where no rain fell and the sections of Louisiana where the weevils are &C., tive.
 The crop is pretty well laid by and cotton, old and young, is fruiting well. It has made rapid advancement even in Oklahoma, where the early season was not propitious. In the central and east ern states of the cotton region the farm CTS are looking forward to an early movement and in some sections are al- ready engaging pickers. The last cul- tivation leaves the fields unusually clean and there Is no rust and blight and ex cept for weevils in the infected sections no insect damage.

Tt is a source of great satisfaction to have our powerful neighbor, the United States, represented at this commemora- tion, and represented by no less a per- son than their vice president. I wish to thank MT. Fairbanks for the kind words he has spoken, and we especially treasure his declaration that nothing on earth can change the cordial relations that exist to- day between his country and England.
 Tn no part of the world has there been greater rejoicing at the entente cordial now happily existing between France and England than here, where that entente cordial has existed for years and Is growing steadily stronger
 We hope that this state of things will continue between our old mother coun- try, France, and our powerful neighbor, the United States"

TEN YEARS OF TORTURE.
Louisiana Town Has Been Troubled By
 Letter Writer.

Jackson, La, July 26-Federal author ities are searching here for an anony- nous letterwriter whose communications have attacked women. Announcement of this investigation was made last night by Mayor A. R. Holcomb and citizens committee. The committee issued a statement in part as follows:
 "We and numerous others have been the victims of a constant stream of anonymous letters of the vilest charac- ter directed personally not only upon ourselves but upon our mothers our sis ters. our wives and our daughters Tn some cases they have been directed to widowed ladies and orphans, who were absolutely without protection. Neither the living nor the dead has been spared.
 "The character and reputation of this town has been befouled in manner that can never be overcome except by the conviction of the guilty. For ten long years it has been afflicted by these scurrilous communications. There is evil dence to show that the same author has been engaged in this nefarious work more or less continuously the entire time"

It has since been rehung Today it developed that determined attempt will be made to have the emblem removed on the date of Bryan's notification, as many democrats will be in the city and municipal tact,

COTTON CROP IS MAKING
 EXCELLENT PROGRESS

tire belt with the exception of the At lantic coast states In the Mississippi valley states and Alabama the planters are enthusiastic. Not in recent years has the prospect at this time been so fiattering. movement of new cotton is expected in Texas in a few weeks.
 Picayune's Crop Report.
 New Orleans. July 26.-The Picayune's weekly crop report tomorrow will say:
 Continued improvement in cotton is shown in reports from all parts of Louis lana and Mississippi. Less rain has fal- len last week than in the two weeks previous, and with a high temperature prevailing the staple has gone up by leaps and bounds. Slightly too much rain is noted in few isolated instances and in some neighborhoods not enough mois ture is reported, but generally the crop is doing well under almost ideal condi- tions.
 The early maturing of cotton along the Texas border, in the neighborhood of Brownsville, a country heretofore given over to cattle grazing, is remarkable feature of the situation.
