WASHINGTON. May 31.--The de-

Spanish.American Iron Co., In which
large amount of American capital
is invested at Daiquiri. near Santiago.
by Negro revolutionists In Cuba, to-
day was considered by the officials
here the most serious move made
against American interests I'm the
island to date, and Is expecped to
cause renewed preparations for inter
ventioI by the United States. The
plant is located In an olIt-of-the=Way
section and its managers were one OF
the first TO appeal to the state depart
ment for protection. Now that the
plant has bee ndestroyed, the state
department will probably bring new
pressure on the president for vigor-
Gus action to guard foreign property.
The United States, 1t Is now believ-
ed by the department, has an excel

is little doubt here that 1t Will do 50.

ROOSEVELT WILL WIN ON
FIRST BALLOT WITH VOTES
TOSPARE, DECLARES KNOX
Vice. Chairman of Coloneps
Committee Says Candidate
Will Have $50 at the Start.
TO SEAT MICHIGAN MEN
Knox Believes National Com
mittee Will Decide in Favor
of Former President.
70 SEAT MICHIGAN MEN

Theodore Roosevelt will have Cot
votes on the first ballot, or 10 more
than the necessary $40 to nominate
him in the Republican national cod
vention in Chicago. according to Re
publican State Chairman Frank Knox
OF Sault Ste. Marie. who spent few
hours in Detroit. Friday, on his way
to Lansing to see Gov. Osborn. Mr..
Knox Is vice-chairman OF the national
Roosevelt committee, and has been
managing the former presidents west
ern campaign with headquarters in
Chicago, while Senator Dixon, OF Mon
tana, the Roosevelt chairman. has
maintained headquarters In Washing
ton.
II would not be surprised to, see the
Taft campaign collapse entirely before
the convention said Mr.. Knox.
Their claims will not bear close IN
yestigation. For instance, In New
York they are claiming S3 delegates
out of the total Delegation OF 80, but
York delegates have come to the
Roosevelt leaders and voluntarily
pledged their support. We are as
sured Of 40 New York votes for Roose-
Welt on the first ballot
Congressman William B. Mckinley,
the Taft manager, certainly Is not an
astute leader. but, OF course, he has
the dough. The poor management OF
the Taft campaign Is seen in the Sc
lection OF State Chairman VIM. Barnes
of New York, to be the Taft floor
leader in the convention. Barnes
can't be considered as an enthusiastic
Taft man. In reality he has been
talking third candidate, Hughes,
Fairbanks or even vice-President Sher-
man. And the Taft people even sug-
gested former Vice-President Fair
banks for permanent chairman OF the
convention. which can hardly be con
sidered a strong suggestion.
Gov. Hadley, Of Missouri. will be
the temporary chairman OF the con.
vention. Senator Root will probably
be brought forward for that position
by Victor Rosewater. of Omaha who
as vice-chairman OF the national cCm-
mittee, will call the convention to
order, but the Roosevelt people will
have enough votes to substitute Had
ley for Root Gov. Hill, of Maine, who
was chairman Of the national commit
tee, died last spring, and the vice
chairman is acting In his place.
The Roosevelt people are confident
that the national committee will treat
both sides Justly in the matter of cor
tests. They ask nothing but square
deal, and expect to get it. We have
a strong case laid before the national
committee for the seating OF the
Roosevelt six delegates-at.large from
Michigan. and expect to seat them.
We do not anticipate that there will
be any necessity Of fighting the con-
tests on the floor OF the convention
Such a fight could only ensue IL the
action, of the committee were inde
fensible."

EMPLOYERS TURN DOWN
! PLAN TO END STRIKE OF
BRITISH TRANSPORT MEN
Board of Trade Officials Endeav-
ored to Settle Labor
Troubles.
FIGHT TO GO TO FINISH
Lloyd George and Other Mem
,bers of Cabinet Discuss Prob
lem Behind Closed Doors.

LONDON, May 31.-Unless the gov
ernment can plan legislation accept
able TO both sides, the General strike
OF transport workers will go on 10 a
finish. The joint conference. arranged
by the board of trade, at which it
had been hoped a settlement could be
reached, proved fizzle today. None
OF the big employers attended, al
though they had agreed to do SO.
Leaders OF the Transport Workers
union who were on hand, held brief
consultation with Sidney Buxton, OF
the board OF trade, after which all
hands proceeded to the home Office
where the premier, Lloyd-George and
members of the cabinet discussed the
situation behind closed doors.
The employers association at a
meeting held last night, agreed to
force the fight to finish. They de-
clared that the union was short OF
funds and because of the tie-up. oc-
casioned by the recent coal strike, the
majority of the labor unions of the
country were opposed TO strikes at
the present time and would refuse to
contribute to defense fund. Believ-
ing this. the officials of the employers
association insist that now is the time
to break the Transport Workers Union
for all time.
The announcement of this attitude
has caused bitter feeling against The
by the union men who have
heretofore strenuously opposed all dis
turbances and kept their members in
line, and II Is feared rioting will re-
suit IL the employers continue to keep
at work.
The police guards at the various
docks were increased today in antici-
patton OF trouble.
The government, as a means Of end
ing the strike. suggested the creation
OF joint Cancellation board for the
port OF London. Delegate Gosling
promised that the union council would
consider the suggestion and inform
the cabinet of Tuesday whether 1t
would accept. Meanwhile the striks
will continue In force.

Execution For Killing Husband
Had Been Originally Set For
Next Monday.

BOSTON, May 31.---With two sides
OF her cell in the Charlestown prison
death-house hung with crepe-like
sheets that she may not see the elec-
trio chair when the door into the
death chamber is opened, Mrs. Lena
Cusumano today began her second
day In her present quarters awaiting
the call to die for numbering her hus-
band. She Is the first woman to oc-
cupy a cell In the Massachusetts,
house OF death which is located In
far corner of the prison yard, 100
feet from any OF the other buildings.
Mrs. Cusumano slept from o'clock
last night until 1880 this morning. 1t
was her first night in the cell. There
are three cells In the building, The
one next to Mrs. Cusumano is empty.
In the one nearest the death chamber
is Harry Marshall, Mrs. Cusumano's s
accoinplice, who was sentenced 10
death with her.
Three women guards have been
brought here from other state insti-
tutions at the request OF Warden
Bridges, TO guard Mrs. Cusumano
night and day, in eightShour shifts.
One OF these women, it was reported
today, had succumbed to the terrible
strain, aud would have to be re-
placed.
Mrs. Cusumano was to have preced-
ed Marshall TO the electric chair
sometime after IL O'Clock, Monday
night. Gov. Foss, however, has
promised to respite the woman until
his council can vote again on the
plea for communication. The council
meets Wednesday.
At the last meeting, with Councillor
Alexander McGregor absent, the coun-
Gil voted 4 to on the leniency plea.
Councillor McGregor has openly de-
clared that he believes in clemency
for condemned prisoners, whether
they be man or woman, only on pre-
.septation ufirrefutable new evidence.
The vote On Marshall was, z TO !
against ieniency. That vote ended
Marshall's chance to i've after the
week OF June 2.
Warden Bridges said today that he
will follow the usual procedure in the
electrocution OF Marshall. This prac-
tica' ly means Marshall will die be-
tween midnight Monday and 1880
a. n. Tuesday.

SAYS METER INSPECTION
WOULD COST LITTLE

The ordinance to have all gas
meters tested every three years will
not cause much additional expense to
the city," said Warren Stoddard, city
meter inspector, replying to the state
ment OF General Manager Butter
worth, of the Detroit City Gas Co.,
that the ordinance would require the
city 10 spend $4,000 annually for in
spection.
Il think could test all the meters
in the city once In three years and
the company could be made to pay
the expense OF hauling the meters
from the houses to the city hall
laboratory Even IL the taspeetion
did cost more, believe IL would be
money we'll spent as II would protect
the interests of the consumers. Wis.
consin. California and Nevada have
state laws making inspection OF gas
meters once in three years compul.
sorry. Reports issued by the govern
ment bureau OF statistics show the
number OF meters TO register fast 10
be greatly in excess OF the number

SAYS Scent FARES ARE
SUCCESS IN CLEVELAND
Attorney Alfred Lucking Inves-
tigates Traction Situation
In Ohio City.

Three-cent fares under the Tayler
ordinance have been great success
in Cleveland. in the opinion OF At
torney Alfred Lucking, who recently
made an investigation OF street rail-
Way conditions there. Mr.. Lucking
is associated with Corporation Coun-
Sc: Lawson as special counsel for the
city In litigation with the ID. U. X.
According to Mr.. Lucking there are
predictions that the Cleveland rate OF
fare will eventually go to two cents.
When a surplus OF 100000 is ac-
cumnlated the fare is automatically
eduged and when the surplus Is re-
duCed to 100000 the fare Is to be
rais ed. Mr.. Lucking declares that a
SUI jplus has been piled up in Cleve-
and despite the fact that the man
agement has made the cost OF con-
dhcting the lines 20 per cent higher
than In any other city, with the high
est wages possible for motormen and
conductors. Mr.. Lucking considers
The Tayler ordinance even superior To
the Hally ordinance now In litigation
in the federal court here.
Differing from former, Corporation
Counsel p. J. NJ. Hally, who held that
1t was not necessary for the city 10
cent? overt the ID. u. r. contention
that the 5000 a day rental demanded
On the Fort.st. line Is unreasonable
and confscatory, Mr.. Lucking lays
emphasis on the city's contention that
the d. U. r. testimony regarding the
value OF the Fort.st line was unre-
liable. He declares that 1t was alb
surd and unfair to appraise the rail-
way and its partially worn out stun
at what each item would cost new In
lalO and this line of argument VIII
probably figure prominently when the
state supreme court hears the Fort
ST. case next month.
