and expressing doubts OF the friendship
OF Italy and England, it says Germany,
having failed to secure the love of Eu-

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Mr. Curtis, of
the State Department, who has charge of
the Latin-American Department of the
Columbian Exhibition, has Just returned
from visit to the West Indies in the in
terest of the exposition. In his report
Curtis announced the appointment by the
Captain-General of Cuba of board of
thirty commissioners to represent the
island at the exposition, and secure col
lection illustrating its resources, products
and industries for exhibition there.
This board, he says, includes the most
prominent, enterprising and influential
men in the colony, ten of the thirty bear
ing the rank of Excellentissimo. The
Chairman, the Excellentissimo Senior
Don Antonio C. Zellori, is gentleman of
great wealth and wide experience in COM
mercial and political affairs, and has a
very high standing in Spain, as well as in
the colony.
1.-The desire of the people of Cuba" the
report says, especially the sugar and
tobacco planters and manufacturers, to
promote their commercial relations with
the United States, amounts to an anxiety,
and | may also mention in this connec-
ton matter of news / learned at Ha-
vann, which is that the commercial
organizations of the Republic of San
Domingo have raised purse to pay the
salary and expenses of an Envoy to be
sent by the Government to Washington
for the purpose of negotiating reci-
procity treaty with the United States.
A similar spirit pervades the entire group
of the West Indian colonies, and will, I
am sure, stimulate their representation at
the exposition"
While in Havana Curtis secured for the
historical section of the exposition plaster
casts of the tomb of Columbus and the
famous statue of Columbus in chains.
CUBA IN A BAD WAY
NEW YORK. March L. Ex-Minister
Foster, who has just returned from Ha-
vana, says that city is packed with Amer
leans. He says Cuba is in a bad way. Her
business interests are nearly paralyzed.
The island represents a loss each year TO
the Spanish Government in the form of
deficiency. The taxes collected do not
pay the expenses of the local government.
The greatest falling off has been in the
sugar industry. The people in Cuba are
anxious to be taken into the reciprocity
policy under the Mckinley bill, so that
they can get their sugar into the United
States.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The Horld SAYS:
The death of Senator Hearst will not de-
crease the value of his thoroughbreds. as
the death Of Belmont did, for the Senator
had his entries in all the stakes changed
several months ago from &C. Hearst'' to
sc. Hearst IL Co." In this way all the
valuable engagements of the Senator's
fine stable will not be lost.
1t is not thought that the Senator's son

The Senator's death comes at an espe-
cially untimely period OF the turf, as
within the past few months the death of
Belmont and the practical retirement of
Scott and Haggin have left big gaps in
the ranks Of gentlemen on the turf.

NEW YORK, March 1.-"Why does Cal

California breeders cannot afford to pay

out the whole of their expenses, and con-
sequently inferior ones are left at home.
Then, again, stock that has been
