GUNBOAT PADUCAH AT DAIQUIRI
Plant of Spar.ish-Amerlcan Iron Com
pany Attacked Engagement Near
Santiago Federal Artillery Used
Against the Rebels With Effect.
Havana. June 1. President Gomez
telegraphed t;'neiul Monuuyuedo, the
-commander in thiei 01 the Cuban
army, who is ut the scene of the hos
tilities in the province of Oriente,
stating that the general might permit
American marines to land on Cuban
soil to guard foreign property.
Ti.e dispatch added that the Cuban
forces then might retire from guard
ing such places and devote themselves
to pursuing the insurgents.
Interest in Havana centered on the
question whether the United States
gunboat Paducah would land marines
at Daiquiri to protect the property of
the Spanish-American Iron company.
It overshadowed completely all the re
ported occurrences from the theater
ot hostilities.
The American legation received ad
vices from Daiquiri that the plant ot
the iron company had been attacked,
but that its assailants were held In
check by forty guards, who later were
reinforced by 100 other men. This
combined force drove off the Insur
gents and on the arrival of the Padu
cah the fighting was over.
There was great excitement in Ha
vana when several newspapers Issued
extra editions announcing that a bat
tle had taken place not far from San
tiago, in which many rebels were
killed by the fire of the Cuban artil
lery. The government said there had
been no battle, but that a collision
had taken place between national and
rebel forces, in which the former's ar
tillery was brought into play appar
ently with effect. The extent of the
casualties were announced as un
known. A rumor was current In Havana
that the negroes in the capital intend
to rise, but apparently there was no
basis for It and no extarordlnary po
lice protection was ordered.

Compromise Candidate at Republic
an National Convention in Chicago.
Contest Fight of Paramount Import.
Des Moines, June 3. "The question
f who is to place me in nomination
before the national convention at Chi
cago has not been decided. It may
not be necessary. We are waiting to
see how the presidential situation
turns."
This was the significant statement
of Senator Albert B. Cummins, in an
swer to a question as to who is to
present his name before the Chicago
convention.
Senator Cummins said the matter
of presenting his name to the Repub
lican convention probably would be
settled this week.
"The majority of the delegates to
the national convention already have
their minds made up as to who they
will vote for as a third candidate In
the event neither President .Taft nor
Colonel Roosevelt Is nominated," said
Senator Cummins.
"There is no need for organization
of my candidacy at Chicago. If it
conies, It will come, no matter what
my friends might do between now and
the time for the roll call. Neither
Taft nor Rnosevolt has enough votes
to nominate. The contests before the
national committee at Chicago are of
paramount importance. There lies the
control cf the convention."

primaries today, which are to deter

cand'dates for governor, E. E. Gunn

The senatorial contests closed with
l.oth sides clal'uinz vlrtorv. Young's
managers Increased their ostlm"tes of
the malorlty thev claim the former
senator will receive, and. while no fig
ures were avnl'able at Ken von head
quarters, his managers were equally
emphatic that the Junior snator
would sween the state.
Apparently Polk countv Is consid
ered the keynote to the situation, and
vlgoroii' efforts have been put forth
