 It is TOW the general opinion in Wash ington that Roosevelt will be nominated by the regular republican organization in Chicago, because the national committee tyili not i,aase the ee1uages n face of his victories over Taft in almost every pri- mary, to rule against him.

 Taft Will be Weak
 It is believed that Tafts showing in the convention will be pitifully weak, Tor II is urged that the southern delegations from Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, Ten nessee, Arkansas and Texas, who have al- ways shown great procivitles to jump aboard the band wagon after its Identity was made clear to them, will certainly jump and stand not upon the order i'll Chicago.

 Democrats Pleased
 To the democrats the situation in the republican ranks is most pleasing, as the scrap grows. and it grows fast, the dem ocratic chance for victory increases.
 There is no escaping the fact that 1t is A democratic year, said Colonel Bur nett, who has Just returned from New York. Taft is repudiated by almost his entire party. and while Roosevelt is cre- ating much enthusiasm, he is creating II among the most radical members of the party. This is clearly demonstrated by the small vote that is being boiled, which has not amounted to 10 per cent Of the party's strength Those that are not vot- ing now will not vote in November, or If they do will vote the democratic ticket. and in either case there Is no way for us to loose.

 They are bound to turn to him in Baiti- more as being the very man 10 sdefeat Roosevelt and make victory for the party absolutely certain. I am confident that We can win with any good man the party in it's wisdom may select, but with un- derwood we simply cannot lose.
 It is not thought that Wilson victory in his home state will strengthen his ,o- sition materially. it had been anticipated and discounted, and will not add much impetus to his declining boom.

 ADV|CES MEAGRE Guerrilla Warfare to Follow
 Mobilization of Troops RESEMBLES MEXICO
Little News From the Front in Havana-President Gomez Says the Revolt Will Soon
 Be Crushed

Washington, May 29.-Desultory and de- structlve guerrilla warfare is expected to follow the mobilization of Cuban govern ment troops in Guantanamo, where the negro revolt is strongest. according to meagre adviees received at the state de- partment today.
 American consular officers in the dis affected district expressed the opinion that the evident determination of the rebels to avoid a pitched battle would force an extended campaign before the government troops can accomplish definite results.
 Foreign Property Damaged
 Today's dispatches. while showing the situation unchanged, indicate serious dam age to foreign property may be expected. The insurrectos are reported to have broken up into small. rapidly moving bands, conducting raids.
 The situation is beginning to resemble that existing in Mexico in the early stages of the revolution In that the crim- inal characters who are found In every community are beginning to take advan- tage of the disturbed conditions for or ganized robbery and plunder. As for the real rebels the government military lead CTS appear to have reached the conclu- sion that they will not stand up for pitched battle. Therefore, the govern ment leaders, instead of attempting to surround the rebels. are dividing their forces Into small units to guard foreign properties Evidence of this purpose ap- peared today when 70 rural guardsmeg were ordered to proceed to Daiquiri 10 protect the property of the Spanish American Iron company.
 Nipe Bay Is Quiet
 Naval advices from the commander of the gunboat Nashville. which made a cord-breaking run from the south to the north coast of Cuba. in answer to an alarm from the rich American owned plantations in the vicinity of Nipe bay. confirmed press reoorts as to existing quiet in that quarter.
 naval officer wIo has had much ex- perierce in Cuban methods expressed the ietief that the Cuban insurrectos were now medtatlng forcing clash with the American marines ne-- Guantanamo Of course, they could not expect to prevail in a battle. but their purpose might be served by inducing the American marine or naval officers to accept their sur render, so that they might not be forced to yield to the Cuban government forces and he tried for treason and perhaps sum marily executed.

Havana Awaits News

Havana May 29.--The capital still aw aits with keenest expectancy news of decisive fighting in the western section of Oriente province, where the national and insurgent forces have been face to face for several days. Up to now there have been only a few skrmishes by the rutposts and occasional raids by the rebels on small towns Confirmation has been received of previous reports that some small squads of rurales have been captured.
 In the meantime, President Gomez had deemed it expedient to make an official statement with respect to the situation as the government views II and has is- sued proclamation in which he says 1T. part: s-s

Money Conditions Unsettled

Money conditions are unsettled and cash is needed by the liberals. The Banco Mlnero closed today This Is the second bank to close within q week the bank of Sonora being the first. Both institutions are said 10 be solvent but without cur reney to continue business. To get money to continue the campaign, meeting of representative business men of Chicago was held at the request of the revolu- tionary officers here. A commission was appointed to study the problem.

His Yelled Threat

1t is suggested that in some instances the populace might become so incensed as to take revenge on Americans, and that in some cases the authorities might be unable to furnish restraint. in case the declaration is made that the revolu- tionary authorities will not consider them selves responsible.
 Issuance of the protest to the Amer iean consul citing the alleged recruiting by the Mexican consul at El Paso of sol diers for the federal cause as an instance of the supposed favoritsm by the United States to the Mexican government stirred the foreign colony to apprehension.
 The protest Is a sequel to recent anti American manifestations resulting from President Taft's proclamation forbiddlng the exportation of arms Into the rebel zone. The liberal here claim they are fighting two goyernments-the United States as well as Madero. and argue that they would have checked the advance of the federals under General Huerta but for a scarcity of ammunition.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell of, and the sores we're over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come OF when L removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till q
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things. and
doctors, too. / think the Cuticura REM
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

Women's statu. in the West.
From the Century.

rTOm the century.
That the divorce rates rise as you &C
west is partly u to the willingness OF
chivalrous legislators to put this weap-
on into the wife's hands, partly to the
divorcee's much better chance of re-
marriage. 1t is a curious fact hat the
order of the 46 states arranged accord
ing to divorce rates, beginning with the
lowest, tallies in a remarkable way with
the order of the state arranged accord
ing to proportion of women, beginning
with the highest.
Any shortage of women thai makes
the men eager suitors alters the terms
Of the marriage partnership to the ad-
vantage of the wife and betters the lot
OF the unmarried m Accordingly,
the codes Of the western states treat
the wife with more liberality than did
the codes OF the older states. and fair
ness to women seems to be a western
practice that spreads east. Indeed, the
enviable position Of the American wcm-
an is largely the accumulative outcome
of the scarcity value she has for a
time enjoyed in h newer common

STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT
New Jersey. Leads In Advanced Leeis-
!ation Desisned@to Check Speed
Of tuberculosis.

What is designated by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States, if not by any country in the
world. is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
e law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
of health concerning the prevention Of
their disease, and thus become a men
ace to the health of those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsorily
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose.
II such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations of the institu-
ton in which he is placed, he may "be
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
vides that all counties in the state oil
New Jersey shall within six months
from April LIST make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care of all per-
sons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent of
$500 a week for each person main
tanned in these institutions, except
those who are able to pay for the cost
of maintenance.
