Washington. May 27.-That serious
talk is growing concerning Senator
Cummins as compromise nominee Is
indicated by numerous eastern papers.
Saturdays Washington Post, altho un-
friendly to Cummins, treats Of the
movement for him under the hearing
"Cummins Sentiment Grows" 1t says
Senator Cummins is hearing much Of
his own availability and many progress
sives think he would be satisfactory
to both progressives and conservatives
because he is for tariff regulation
without deserting protective princi-.
plise.
The Post alludes to the fact that
Cummins sentiment has become 50
pronounced in Indiana that Roosevelt
managers there have taken precautions
to prevent their delegates going to the
Iowa man. It is learned powerful

Washington, May 27.-Feeling as
sured that President Gomez has mis-
understood the purpose Of the Ameri-
can government in dispatching the
large naval force now on its way to
Key West, the state department, after
having instructed American Minister
Beaupre at Havana to make plain to
the Cuban government the purpose OF
cretion Of Colonel Karmady, command
ing the marine forces en- route on the
cruiser Prairie and due at Guantanamo
tomorrow, the extent to which the ma
rines shall be employed.
1t is believed that as soon as Presi-
dent Gomez is made aware of the fact
that there is no sinister purpose behind
the movement of the naval vessels and
that their commanders will do nothing
more than use their forces to prevent
injury to American lives and property,
he no longer will object. It is thor
oughly appreciated here that the Cuban
president must assume a rather re-
sentful attitude toward what might ap-
pear to be an invasion of the island

will not remain Indifferent to the de-
mands of Americans for protection
where it is clear that the Cuban gov
ernment can not afford it. -
Admiral Osterhaus' fleet, which Is
due at Key West Wednesday, will not
move at once into Cuban waters unless
something should happen in the mean
time to demand its presence there. The
signal for the disposition of the ships
among Cuban ports win await, it Is
said. the decision Of American Minis
ter Beaupre at Havana. If, however.
destroyed telegraphic communications
hamper Mr.. Beaupre in getting infor-
nation as to the events in the eastern
end Of the island where the disturb
ances are focused. the state Depart
ment will act Independently Of his sug-
gesticns. The prospects of settle
ment of the Havana dock strike were
reported to be brighter today.
