Duluth, Mimi, June 6.-Minnesota
Democrats i'll state convention, today,

Wilson.
II was agreed however, that when
ever, in the opinion of two thirds of
the delegation Wilson's nomination is
impossible, the vote may be thrown to
another candidate
Victory came for the Wilson forces
only after followers of Champ Clark
and William j. Bryan had made an at
tempt To have the delegates either in

at all AS a result of the attempt to
stampede the convention for BRYAN
the hall was in an uproar for more
than an hour. For all that time how
ever, the name of Clark was not mem
toned. even bys those who eontended

The Clark manager, IT. s. Will
liams, said, after the convention. that
he would carry his fight to the ma

Wilson men selected Fred B. Lynch
of St Paul for national committee

John n. Freeman, a Wilson man, was
named temporary chairman without
opposition.
NJ. c. Tiff of Minneapolis was made
permanent chairman in the same

Several Auditory speeches were
made in favor of Bryan and his name

MoNTEAGUDo FAILS.
Mountainous Country Made 1t Impos-
sble to Use Original Tactics.

Havana. June 6.&Miltary opera
tions in the province of Orente have
been brought to a complete halt, ON
account OF the apparent failure OF
General Monteagudos original plan
OF campaign which commanded Il sim
ultaneoGs advance in the affected ter
ritory of heavy columns of infantry
accompanied by artillery and rural
guards. The character of the coun-
try which is mountainous covered
with heavy forests and destitute of
practicable roads. appears to make
such tactics impossible.
Gen. Monteagudo now depends upon
reinforcing his regular organizations
with plantation guards who have been
released from duty by the arrival of
American marines, especially in the
vicinity of Guantanamo City, dividing
his forces into smaller units and in
ereasing them by bodies of regular
troops. mostly mounted who have
been recruited in the province and
are familiar with the scene of the
operations. This will involve consid-
cradle delay before the troops can be
so disposed as to compel the Insur-
gents to accept combat
The military situation closely re-
sembles that in 7-9S, when small
bodies of Cuban patriots operating in
the same locality, long and successful
~ evaded pursuit by much larger
bodies of Spanish regulars. The diff
ficulty of the military operations has
greatly increased BECAUSE of torrential
rains now prevailing in large part
of the island.
The feeling of apprehension in Ha-
vana, which, yesterday, was some
what allayed, was increased, tonight,
by a persistent rumor of the appear
anee of bands of armed Negroes in
many places irf- the immediate vicin-
ity of the capital. 1t was said that
they hal even penetrated within the
lines of the outlying suburbs. De-
tachments of the national police arm
ed with rifles, rushed to the outskirts
of the city. but up to the present there
is apparently no substantial cause for
alarm.
Throughout all parts of the island citi-
zens are arming and organizing volun-
teer corps. Assistant Secretary of In
Sterior Vandama announced, tonight, that
ii was the duty of all whites to arm
themselves without awaiting the formal
ity necessary to secure permits from the
government. Seventy-five additional sol
diers have been ordered from Camp CO.

FACTIONS IN MICHIGAN.
The Taft and Roosevelt Chieftains
are at Odds.

Bay City, Mich, April IA bitter
fight between Taft and Roosevelt
forces for control of the Republican
state convention started at special
meeting of the Republican state cen.
trail committee, attended by II out
of "a members, at which Robert A.
Shields of Houghton. acted as chair
man. BY vote of II to 8. in the alb.
sence of Chairman Frank Knox. who
declared the meeting illegal. members
of the committee voted to unseat for
mer Secretary of the Navy Truman
H. Newberry Of Detroit. Roosevelt
leader, as temporary chairman of the
convention.
The meeting then took up the ques'
ton of contested delegates to the
state convention and voted to seat
Taft delegations as against Roose-
welt delegations from Detroit (Wayne
county, and Battle Creek calhoun
county,. The Detroit delegation Is
admitted to hold the balance of pow.
er in the convention.
Despite this action by majority
OF the state central cOmmlttee anu
the apparent sweeping advantage CIV
en- to President Taft in the selection
today of six delegates at large from
Michigan to the national convention,
Roosevelt leaders maintain that the
situation will be reversed on the floor
of the convention. AS result OF
the developments, leaders on both
sides said that almost anything may
be expected when the convention Is
opened formally.
A number of men closely in touch
with developments in the contest pre-
dicted that there would be two district
conventions which would select two
sets of delegates. thus carrying the
fight in the state to the national con,
vention at Chicago for final settle
ment.
