Columbus, Ohio.-According to
returns in hand from approximately
$500 of the 5,192 precincts in the
state, Col. Theodore Roosevelt's dele
gates to the National Republican Con-
~vention carried Ohio primaries by a
plurality of about $4,000 votes.
1t now seems scarcely possible that
final results from the primary poll will
change the number of district dele
gates for either side by more than
one or two. The best figures avail
able show that Roosevelt has thirty
two of the forty-two district delegates
Although later returns IN the Demo
cratic presidential preference primary
vote give Woodrow Wilson a fighting
chance for one OR two more delegates,
the New Jersey mans exact standing
may not be known for several days.
The delegate-at-large situation in the
Republican party will not be known or
settled until June 3, when the State
Republican Convention is convened
here. The Taft leaders claim they
will control the state convention and
designate the delegates at large for
the president, but the Roosevelt man
ayers declared that late returns show
the number Of Taft delegates to the
state convention to be %dwindling in
stead of increasing.

J.. s. TRANSPORT TO CUBA
PRAIRIE, WITH 500 MARINES,
SAILS FOR ISLE.
Government Declares She Goes to
Protect Americans From Negro
Uprising at Guantanamo.

Washington.-Alarmed by the seri-
BUSINESS of the negro revolution in
Cuba, the state department and the
navy department sent w%arships and
marines to the United States naval
station at Guantanamo, which city is
near the center of the disturbance.
The United States transport Prairie,
left League Island Navy Yard, Phila-
delphia with a force of 800 marines.
The gunboat Paducah and the gunboat
Nashville already are near Guanta-
namo. 1t is denied that the govern
ment is planning to send a battle ship
there. The marines and the two gun
boats are thought to be sufficient to
meet any present emergency.
1t is stated at the state department
that this action is taken wholly on the
ground that a serious disturbance is
indicated in the easternmost province
of the island, where there are import
ant American interests. Several of
these interests have complained that
their property has been seized and
that the lives of their employees are
endangered. The Cuban gunboat Cuba
left Havana for Guantanamo with 600
troops. The Cuban government has
sent other forces by train to Oriente
Province, where at least 1000 negroes
have been destroying property and
terrorizing the inhabitants.
Officials here believe that the Gu
ban government underestimates the
strength of the present insurrectionary
movement, though official reports say
the government shortly will not be il

Tyler, Tex.-Dan Davis, a young

in the streets of Tyler, after he had
confessed to attacking Miss Carrie
Johnson of this city, a week ago. Two
thousand persons participated in the
lynching.
Davis had signed a statement con-
Tossing to the assault, but before the

on which the negro had been bound
by the mob he was again asked if
he was guilty.
81 am guilty." he cried, and a mo-

high above his head.
Mob Awaits Confession.
Davis was brought here from Ath-
ems, Tex. When members of the sher-
ifs posse arrived at the Jail with the
negro they were confronted by sew
eral hundred citizens, who waited I'M
til Davis had written his confession,
then demanded that he be turned over
to them.
Officers and citizens who had gath
cred inside the Jail protested but
finally surrendered the negro to the
mob, whose numbers made protest
useless, the officers say. From the
Jail Davis was led to the public square
where several wagon loads of wood
had been piled. He vas tied to a rail
and after he reiterated his confession
a match was applied and the flames
enveloped him.

The work of the lynchers was done
