CONGRESS MAY PASS
 PARCELS POST BILL
Measure Likely To Be En- acted at This Session.
 Hitchcock FavOrs It

Washington, June 9-Legislation pro- viding for general parcels post throughout the United States and it's possessions, except the Philippine Islands, is practically certain to be en- acted by the present Congress, perhaps during the session now In progress, in the opinion of Postmaster General Hitchcock. Among other reasons, he believes a domestic parcels post would aid substantially in the solution of the high cost of living problem. In a state ment today he expressed the hope that the measure recently introduced by Senator Bourne, chairman of the com mittee on postoffices and post roads, might be crystalized into law
 In the judgment of the officers of the postal service, the Bourne bill rep resents the most scientific and business like plan yet devised. It provides for a parcels service both on rural routes and city carrier routes. It consolidates the third and fourth classes of mail matter-a reform long advocated by the postoffiee department and raises the weight limit of parcels to Il pounds, the international limit.

REPUBLICAN BELIEVES MIR. UNDERWOOD
 WOULD SWEEP ILLINOIS
By c. E. STEWART

Washington. lure e.-<Speeial.) )-There are a great many visitors in Wash ington from all parts of the country. who came for the unvelling ceremonies of the Columbus statue. Much political talk Is engaged in by these visitors, and a great deal of it is to the effect that the republicans are doomed to defeat this year. A prominent member of the Chi- cago contingent of the Knights of Co., lumbus. at the Raleigh today, said:
 q am a republican and I agree with Roosevelt in one statement. and that Is that the party as whole would repudiate the nominee of the Chicago convention. I think this will be done in any event, even should Roosevelt be the nominee, D he continued. Always provided the dem ocrats do not make greater blunder by nominating Bryan

Illinois will go democratic under favor- able conditions" he declared.
 Continuing, he said: T was introduced to Representative Underwood by Rep resentative Gallagher of Illinois yester- day and l was most favorably impressed with him. I believe he could win, and I know a man like him would sweep Illinois"
 Judging from the expressions heard from others, representing states like Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio and others necessary. to win and always con sidered fighting ground, all the demo- crats have to do at Baltimore Is to stand on the record of the party for a revi- sion of the tariff, and to exercise proper judgment in naming a ticket and the fight is won. In every case they are unanimous In their praise of Underwood and declare that being from the south will get him votes instead of losing them should he be the nominee.

Washington, June 9.-The navy de- partment. acting under instructions from the state department tonight. or- dered Admiral osterhaus to proceed forthwith from Key West to Havana with one dispatch ship and one other ship. These orders were issued by the state department after the receipt of a dispatch from Minister Beaupre, report ing that conditions In Havana and su- burbs of the city had assumed the char acter of a race war.
 It is probable that Admiral Oster- haus, besides the dispatch ship, will take his flagship. the Washington, into Cuban waters.
 Minister Beaupres message said that conditions in and around Havana had been menacing since Friday night. and that last night there were anti-negro demonstrations of large proportions by irresponsible elements and that there were clashes in every quarter of Ha- vana and vicinity. He reported that the negroes were being goaded into violence and that retaliation might have disastrous consequences. Amer icans and other foreigners and many Cubans. he said, were very apprehen- sive and desired the sending of an American war vessel
 Deluge q GOd-send
 Havana, June A deluge of rain which began this morning and threat ened to continue all night relieved tho city of Havana of the dreaded peril of an uprising of the whites against the negroes. The streets of the capital this evening were deserted save for patrols of mounted rurales, regular infantry, the police and home guards. There was not the least indication of disorder.
 Presidential Secretary Ramirez to- night sent the following letter to the Associated Press correspondent;
 What happened in Havana last night is without importance. Even those who serve the yellow press and who read its exaggerated reports will agree that what I say is true. You, having been present and having seen what occurred. can judge with accuracy how passions. excited by the existing propaganda in Havana and by the false news cir culated. have resulted in collisions be- tween the whites and the blacks which the police easily quelled'
 Gomez Silent
 President Gomez, on being informed tonight that American warships had been ordered to Havana, declined to make any comment Senor Ramirez. the presidential secretary, however. said that the President had expressed neither satisfaction nor regret on the receipt of news.
