CONDITIONS jjj CUBA,
magoon in dovht ABOUT tim 10
of election.
Pour Partita are All at Otitis?Time
Has Not Healed Partisan Bitterness
and the Island is Puzzling Ameri?
can Officials.
Washington, Nov. 19.?Coincident
with the receipt of news from Ha?
vana of the completion of the Cuban
census has arisen a demand from
many sources that a time be fixed at
once for the holding of municipal and
national elect'ons in the island. Offi?
cials of the war and state depart?
ments, who have had much to do with
formulating answers to questions con?
cerning Cuba since the provisional
government was established and
American troops now stationed there,
agree that the problem Is not solved
by the termination of the census enu?
meration and the tabulation of the
returns to form electoral registration
lists. The provisional governor ie*
greatly disturbed over the recommen?
dation he must make concerning the
time of holding the elections. It ap?
pears that he cannot expect aid from
the various political parties, Inas-*
much as the leaders hold as widely
varying views now as they did at the
time the census was ordered.
At the present time there are four
political parties in Cuba. Two of
these are factions of the Liberal par?
ty and are of about equal strength.
The faction headed by Jose Miguel
domes claims to control the political
situation and is demanding that the
municipal and national elections be
held simultaneously not later than
February next. Gomez is popular with
the masses and especially with a large
part of those that participated In
the revolution againet Palma. He is
a leader of the Liberal party and was
the candidate for president against
Palma.
The other wing of the Liberals Is
dominated by Alfredo Zayas, presi?
dent of the Liberal party, and of the
revolutionary committee. Ever since
the resignation of President Palma,
Zayas hss been a candidate for the
presidency, and It was the rival am?
bitions of Gomez and Zayas that
caused the split of the Liberal party.
The recognise leader of the Independ?
ent party is Gen. Mario Menocal,
manager of the Chapama sugar es?
tate, said to be the largest In the
world. The party has not united on a
candidate, bet tj. -so most prominent?
ly spoken of uro General Menocal
Beb a tor Manu? l Sangullry, of Matan
xas, and Bauer Jos* Qonaalai de Que*
sada. the Cuban minister to the Uni?
ted States.
The fourth party is composed main?
ly ths old Moderates or Palma party.
It includes many prominent and able
Cubans, but as yet none has been
brought forward as a candidate.
All except'the Gomez party are now
willing to have the elections fixed for
a year hence, and are opposed to an
election in February next. In other
words .three of the parties prefer that
the Americans shall continue the pro?
visional government rather than take
chances on the election* of Jose Miguel
Gomes as president. If conditions
should change a new alignment might
be looked for as the present arrange?
ment is second choice with the lead?
ers of each of the parties.
Prom reports received by Washing?
ton officials it appears that there will
be dissatisfaction with the result of
the election, whatever It Is, The only
thing h'oped for is that a majority
of the best classes of Cubans will see
that the United States is doing its
best to insure a fair election In order
to live up to the promise made by
President Roosevelt that American
troops shall be withdrawn at the ear?
liest practical moment and govern?
mental affairs restored to the Cuban-.
Tt Is not believed here that Governor
Mngoon is ready to say when he b'
leves such an election possible, but
hat a date will be fixed arbitrarily
within a year. If municipal election!
IfC held first, the new registration
methods can be tried out and Cubans
will have an opoprtunlty to become
used to American election methods.

JUDGE CRAWFORD IS DEAD.
Eloquent Attorney of Columbia Dies
Suddenly In Court House Yesterday.
Columbia, Nov. 20.?This com?
munity was profoundly shocked this
morning by the sudden death of Judge
Andrew Crawford, the most eloquent
member of the Kichland Bar, who
succumbed to an attack of apoplexy
while examining a witness in the cir?
cuit court. He expired in the solici?
tor's room, just behind the Judge's
stand, within seven minutes after he
suffered the stroke, and Just as his
physician. Dr. James H. Mclntosh,
was reaching him.
The distinguished lawyer was about
59 years old at the time of his death,
but he was in excellent health for a
man of his years, and this morning
seemed particularly well. Only a few
days ago he remarked to a friend how
well he was feeling, how he always so
much enjoyed life In the fall.

A WONDERFT7L CLOCK.
Almost Perfect Timepiece That Is
Installed in Clcvelund St liool.
Cleveland, Nov. 24.?A clock
Just been installed in \.he Case School
of Applied Science in this city which,
is so nearly perfect that it has at?
tracted the attention of the Smith?

another mark of distinction tests hare
proved that the mechanism Is so ac?
curate that the clock will not vary
more than 15 one-thousandths of a
second from the exact time in 24
hours.
The clock will measure the min?
utest fraction of a second. Its only
rival In acuracy is said to be a similar
timepiece in Berlin.
The construction of the Case school
clock Is so delicate that for protection
It is surrounded by a glass jar, which
is partly a vacuum. To protect the
