BLACK TERgOR IN CUBA.
Blood Chilling Cnmcs by Negroes
Rushing Ships to Island.

washingt June THE sudden
orders whicH sped four American
drcadnaughts to Guantanamo from
Key West, reports to the State De-
partment telling what is thought to
be the beginning of general attack
bv negroes on white women in Cuba,
the confessed inability of President
Gomez to meet the situation. and the
quiet preparation of 10000 U. 5.
troops along the Atlantic coast for
instant embarkation on transports,
created a situation today at army
and navy headquarters which was ell
ectrical with possibility.
A thousand marines, supplemented
by 1000 bluejackets trained as land
ing parties are on the battlesh'ps
Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota and Miss
issippi now plunging through the
Gulf of Mexico for Guantanamo.
Blood chilling stories of the black
terror in Cuba came in consular re-
ports to the State Department today.
According to one official telegram, a
party of drunken negro alzados, OF
rcvolutionaries surrounded the house
of one of the best known white men
in eastern Cuba, a former governor Of
one of the provinces. Out of human
ity the family name is concealed.
Trussing up the man and his son
with ropes, the negroes outraged his
wife and two young daughters before
his ewes. The son in his wild fury
worked out of his bonds, only to be
butchered in cold blood.
Two other reports of similar atroc-
tiles have come to the State Depart
ment within "a hours.
Americans are said to be afralo
to send their families to the United
States. lest the rowing alzados attacR

ALDERMEN STRIKE SNAG
inspection of Meats and Slaughter
Houses Hold Up Passage of
Health Law.

| The section of the new health law
which is now pending before the board
of aldermen in reference to the inspec-
ton of meats by the health officer ano
the designation of central slaughter
house proved stumbling block to the
board which held a special meeting
last night to complete the reading OF
| the new ordinance which has already
passed common council.
The section as passed by the lower
board provides that no meat shall be
sold in Alexandria, except that which
comes under federal supervision, un-
less inspected and tagged by the
health officer. 1t also provides that
the health officer shall designate a
central slaughter house where al! ami
mails shall be brought to be killed.
w. C. Baggett and Aron Odell appear
ed before the board and protested
against these provisions. They stated
that they would be perfectly willing to
have their meats inspected but OBJ
jected to that part Of the law which
required the butchers to give up their
own slaughter houses and use the one
of another party. In place of this,
they wished all slaughter houses in the
city to be inspected and when found
in sanitary condition to be issued a
permit by the health officer.
Alderman Ogden made the point
that the inspection of meats was en-
tirely out of the province of the health
officer, who would be physician and
not familiar with this kind of work.
He had DR.. E. A. German brought be-
fore the board and the latter agreed
with Mr.. Ogden, stating that the in
spection of meats should be done by
some one who had been trained in the
work and that it would be out of the
question to expect physician to be
present every day in the week to wit
ness the slaughter of animals.
Alderman Fitzgerald protested
against any slaughter house being es-
tablished within the present corpor-
ate limits and his position on this
point was sustained by the other men,
bers of the board.
After considerable discussion relat-
i've to these matters Mr.. Ogden stated
that he wished further time to con-
slider the matter and to prepare an
amendment which would b0 effective
and asked that further consideration
If the ordinance be laid over until the
regular melting Of the board next
Tuesday.
The question of the salary of the
health officer was not discussed last
night but will be considered on Tues
day.

STEAM ROLLER AT WORK,
Presidents Allies DumfOunded at
Their Success--Had Been Keyed Up
for Fight.

Coliseum, Chicago, June THE
Taft forces scored sweeping victory
on the first contest considered by the
SRtpublican National committee to-
day when the latter body ruled that
the Taft delegates-at-large from Ala
bama should be placed on the tempo
rary roll of the Republican National
committee.
A demand was made for a record
vote on the question and it was pro-
mptly granted. Then came the sur
prise as the Roosevelt committeeman
voted to throw out the contest brought
by their own followers, and the vote
was 53 ayes and no noes.
Coliseum, Chicago, June 1.-The
searchlight was thrown on the election
methods of the south today when for
the first time in history the Repub-
lican National committee permitted
newspaper correspondents to listen to
the arguments and the evidence pre-
sented in conection with contested
seats in the National convention. Ten
men, representing five recognized
press associations were allowed to sit
with the committee and at the same
time that body directed that complete
stenographic report of everything said
and done, be prepared and issued to
the dozens of representatives OF the
individual newspapers of the country
Without hope of seating any of their
contcsting delegations, with the pos
siblc exception of Washington state
the Roosevelt leaders today while the
National ccmittee hurried through the
hearings of the initial contests, be-
gan a fight to break the contest OF
Taft delegate ranks.
Senator Dixon and q score OF his
able lieutenants "got busy" with at
home influences. In New York it was
learned old-timc friends of Col. Roose-
Welt are today personally interview
ing delegates and trying to swing
them over to the colonel. That the
Taft forces realize that this work
migtht have a serious effect was
shown when they sought to counteract
the personal campaign.
The situation today left slight ad-
vantage on the side of the Taft for
ces. They have control of the Nat
ional committee and an overwhelming
majority; they have, on the face OF
the returns at the present moment,
a majority Of the delegates elected
This majority will be increased by the
seating of the Taft contestants IN
MANY instances. But-the Taft man.
ayers realize that the slightest lntiuen-
ce might change the minds OF many
delegates. Privately they admit this.
Publicly they declare it is all over but
the shouting. Privately they are work
irp tooth and nail to keep their lead
The Taft men are certain that tic
Roosevelt leaders vii get no assistance
from the little band of Wisconsin del
erates. They expect the North Da-
kota delegates to swing into the Roose
welt column on all issues. But WIS
consin, they claim, and this claim is
agreed to by Wisconsin politicians VINO
are on the ground, will down voting
for Senator La Toilette. They Will
not vote for the Roosevelt candidate
against Senator Root slated to be the
temporary and permanent chairman
of the committee. They Will nave
their own candidate and this, the Iaf'
leaders say, will be great advantage
to the in putting Root over"

his friends in the socialist party over
the state, Mayor 7. Nj. Todd will not

fall election.
Under the rules of the socialist
party each local organization max
ing nominations which are submitted
to a referendum. Under this scheme
the regular legal convention is large
ly a matter of form. During the
past several weeks various locals over
the state have included the name of

ry of state and it was a southern
Colorado local that had him picked
out for a justice of the supreme
