CUBAN GOVERNMENT DOES

Havana, June 13.-Secretary of the In terior Bru informed the Associated Press today that the proposition to send Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood or Brig, Gen. Enoeh II. Crowder on a mission to Cuba would be regarded with disfavor by the gov ernment if they came with authority to arrange terms of settlement between the government and the insurgents.

 T attended the state convection of North Carolina in Raleigh some days ago" said Senator Basley. "1t has been re- ported that Underwood was bested in the Tar Heel state Later. the report was corrected to a certain extent, 1t having been stated that we would get from 10 to F votes on the first ballot. There Is still another correction to make. We will get majority of the 24 votes on the first ballot and on subsequent ballots will get them all.
 T recently visited Baltimore and went through the St. James hotel. While this hostelry will serve the purpose, it is not in all respects as serviceable as the Eu- taw. However. many men of prominence have taken reservations there, among the number being Thomas J. Taggert and Champ Clark.
 Prospects are excellent as far as Mir. Underwood is concerned. He has splen- did chance of securing the nomination. Few in Alabama really appreciate the magnitude of the proposition and few ap- preciate just how fine al opportunity our candidate has of winning. Before the fight in Baltimore is over everybody will know that Alabama is on the map and that Alabama figured in the convention.
